Chapter 967 Decision Made
The men's expressions changed instantly. "That Shitou is quite clever. What if he says something bad about us in front of his new master?"
One person measured his neck with his hand and said, "There is no other way, only this one.
Who made him have such bad luck? "
The others didn't express any opinions, which meant they agreed to it.
"This kid is really too clever. He came to the village head early in the morning with a chicken in his hand, begging him to give him a chance to show his face in front of Steward Zhang. When the village head heard that his request was so simple, he nodded and agreed."
"So, he should have met the new master."
"It's not decided yet, so don't keep saying there's a new master. Only after the higher-ups have spoken and the contract is in hand can this manor be considered to have truly changed hands."
"You guys started arguing first, now let's talk about the rules!"
"Let's do it this way, we can't keep that kid Shitou.
As for the rest, we will act separately. Brothers, let's do our best and try our best. We must not make it difficult for ourselves."
"Yes, call the other brothers later. It will be easier to get things done if we have more people."
Shi Tou was so frightened that his face turned pale. If Shen Liang hadn't supported him from behind, he would have fallen to the ground with a thud.
After those people left, Shitou looked at Zhang Juexia anxiously, "Madam, you have to save me!
If you don't save me, I will die. I...
Why am I so unlucky! I’m still young and I don’t want to die.”
Shen Liang slapped Shitou again and said, “How many times have I told you not to mention the word death? It’s unlucky.”
"I don't want to die, so you have to save me!"
Shen Liang covered Shi Tou’s mouth and walked in another direction.
"Stop yelling. You've met us. As long as you behave yourself, you won't die."
Shen Liang asked Zhang Juexia again, "Madam, where are we going now?"
Just take a walk, then go to the agreed place to meet Lin An and the others.
Soon, Lin An and Heizi also came back and told what they saw in the village.
There were some things Lin An didn't want to say, but after thinking about it, he said it out loud, "Madam, Heizi and I went to take a look. Next to this farm is Old Man Feng's house, where we raise sheep."
"My wife and I discovered it as soon as we entered the manor. It's quite good that you could see it, Lin An."
"Boss, since it's so convenient, why not just buy the farm?
Our business is so good, we can raise more sheep."
"Such a good thing, you think Madam doesn't want it, but..."
The stone over there was spinning in a panic, "Madam, good men, please save me!"
"I originally thought you were capable, but I didn't expect you to be so cautious."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Shen Liang couldn’t help but reach out to hit Shitou on the back of the head again, “How many times have I told you, don’t mention the word death.
If you don't obey, believe it or not, we will leave you alone and have no intention of saving you."
Zhang Juexia raised his head and looked at the sky. "Let's not waste time here. Let's go back!"
Shi Tou might have been frightened by Chen Liang's words. He lowered his head like a quail and stopped talking.
After this trip, Zhang Juexia had a rough idea in his mind. This farm had good profits, but the people in it had problems.
As she walked forward, she thought about how to get things done.
Shitou followed them closely, fearing that they would no longer want him.
"Shi Tou, you are here?
Those people are looking for you in the village like crazy!
You should hide quickly!"
Shitou quickly grabbed the man's arm and asked, "How's my grandma? And sweet girl, are they okay?"
"Those people were looking for you. When they saw you weren't at home, they just yelled at you.
As for you, go out and hide!
Those people might have bad intentions!
Tell me, what is this?
We don't ask for much, we just want to cultivate these few acres of land and have a full meal every day, why is it so difficult?"
Shitou knelt down again towards Zhang Juexia, "Please, Madam, save me!"
"Okay, hurry up and get up!
Since I asked you to follow us, it was because I planned to save you.
Have this man take a message to your grandmother, and then follow us back to the city."
Shitou kowtowed respectfully to Zhang Juexia, then stood up and asked the man to deliver a message.
"Well, we are all on the same path together, so we should take care of each other.
Just go out and hide, your grandma and your sister will take care of you."
"Thank you, Uncle Li. When I become rich, I will definitely repay you."
The man called Uncle Li obviously didn't believe what Shi Tou said. He shook his head, smiled, and walked forward.
Shitou followed him onto the carriage and felt relieved.
He still didn't give up and asked, "Madam, are you going to buy this farm or not?"
"Let me ask you, other than the fact that I'm a good person and can save you, can you tell me why I bought this farm?"
"Madam is a good person, so I must tell the truth.
This farm can really make money. The food and drink of the Zhang family, young and old, all depend on the output of this farm.
As long as Madam gets rid of those servants in the Zhang family, I can convince people like me to stay and take good care of the manor."
"Then let me ask you, what if they don't stay?"
After being stunned for a moment, Shitou insisted that he had a way to make them stay.
"How do you keep me here? Pay me more?"
"Madam, everyone who comes to the village has suffered a disaster at home and can no longer make ends meet.
In fact, even if we were really asked to leave, we would have nowhere to go.
So, I bet that Madam doesn't need to pay us more wages, as long as Madam gives us food, we won't leave."
"Let's talk about this later!"
Shi Tou saw that Zhang Juexia had a bad look on her face, and he didn't know what words had angered her, so he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Juexia stared at the stone carefully for a while, thinking to himself, such a young child has been influenced like this by living in this village.
If used properly, it is a good knife. If used improperly, it may be in danger of growing crooked.
Shi Tou felt uneasy when she stared at him, but fortunately, Zhang Juexia quickly looked away.
Along the way, the carriage was very quiet, and Zhang Juexia closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After entering the city, Shen Liang called Zhang Juexia a few times in a low voice. She opened her eyes and asked lazily, "Have we entered the city?"
Shen Liang replied respectfully, “Madam, we are in the city now.”
"I didn't expect that I would go into the city after taking a nap."
"Madam, what are your arrangements?"
"You take the stone to the shop, I'll go to the Shen Mansion."
After listening to Zhang Juexia's words, Shen Liang understood Zhang Juexia's choice, "I hope Madam can reach an agreement."
