Chapter 227 Test
Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin saw that Xu Zhichun was in a daze for a long time without moving, and they exchanged glances secretly.
"Madam Xu, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. Maybe you can't understand the account book? Or maybe there's something you don't understand?"
"It should be. Then let me ask?"
"Ask quickly."
Master Qin nodded gently at his wife and coughed twice, pretending to say something. "Madam Xu, do you have any questions that you would like us to explain?"
Madam Qin also smiled: "Madam Xu, you don't have to be so polite. As for the matter of money, brothers should settle it openly. They shouldn't harbor doubts in their hearts. Only when everything is clear and understood can they get along well in the long run."
"Ah? No, no, the accounts and everything are clear, I understand everything." Xu Zhichun came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "I just didn't expect to make so much money, it's a bit too much! I can't believe it for a while."
Master Qin laughed heartily and said, "Mrs. Xu, you're being modest. Who hasn't used a thresher, a windmill, or a water mill and not praised its benefits? Thanks to these, this year's autumn harvest has been much easier, and we've saved ourselves a lot of worry. If it weren't for the tight schedule and the lack of time to prepare, we could have made much more than this. But there's still a long way to go, and there will be more to earn for a long time to come."
Xu Zhichun nodded and agreed with a smile: "I admire Master Qin's ability very much."
After some words, both parties got what they wanted.
Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin and Xu Zhichun agreed to send someone to pick her up to visit the farm in Loujia Village the next day, and Xu Zhichun agreed immediately.
There are three hundred acres of good farmland. Mrs. Qin said that one acre is worth eight taels of silver, which means two thousand four hundred taels. The small courtyard with two entrances and thirty to fifty acres of land is worth one hundred and fifty taels.
The total amount is only more than 2,500 taels.
Xu Zhichun himself felt that he had suddenly become wealthy and powerful, and even dared to use the word "talent".
There’s nothing better than not having to budget anymore.
With the money, she was full of confidence. When the two families came to her house in the evening and forced her to give them four or five hundred kilograms each, Xu Zhichun refused very loudly.
"Impossible, forget it. You guys planted enough to keep the seeds. I dare not disobey Lord Lu's orders."
Mrs. Bai smiled, her tone much softer and gentler than usual: "Lord Lu is a good official, how could he not know that he should keep some for himself as a favor? You planted so much, and the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up like a small mountain. Why would Lord Lu mind even if he gave us some? Zhichun, we don't want it for free. You sold it to us for one cent a pound in the past, how about we give us two cents now?"
Xu Zhichun laughed and said, "It seems I'm taking advantage of Second Aunt. Why don't I sell them all to her?"
Even though she knew she was just saying this in anger, Bai Shi's heart still couldn't help but flutter. She smiled insincerely and declined: "How can that be! But if you really want to, it's not impossible."
Uncle Liang, however, held on to this remark as if he had seized upon it, "Alright! Let's do this! You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word! Get out of my way, and I'm moving everything out right now!"
Xu Zhichun was surprised.
This - did I take the wrong medicine?
This uncle has never been like this before.
Profits drive people crazy?
It doesn't seem like it. It won't be to this extent.
Liang Chunfen put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open and staring intently, and she looked a little eager to take action. Wherever she stood, Uncle Liang couldn't move forward.
Uncle Liang glared at her fiercely: "Get out! Get out of the way!"
Liang Chunfen was no longer afraid of him and shook his head: "No, I won't let you go."
"You—idiot! Idiot!"
"I'm not stupid."
"Fool! Fool!"
"Uncle, why are you doing this?" Xu Zhichun said, "I was just joking, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously. I've toiled for six months and finally harvested the fruit. I'm about to get a handsome reward, but how could I possibly sell it for just two cents a pound? Uncle, please don't treat me like a fool."
Uncle Liang glared at her fiercely, his eyes were like knives, as if he really wanted to cut her into pieces.
Hate it to the core.
Xu Zhichun was bewildered and her scalp tingled under his gaze. If it weren't for Chunfen, the stabilizing force, she felt that her uncle would definitely act without regard for the consequences tonight. She would definitely suffer the consequences.
"Xu Zhichun, you're too greedy! You're so greedy, you want to get everything you want. Be careful not to choke to death one day!"
Being scolded for no apparent reason, Xu Zhichun couldn't hold it in any longer and sneered, "That's my business too!"
"snort!"
Uncle Liang glared at her and left angrily.
Bai still wanted to play the family card, but when she met Xu Zhichun's cold and indifferent eyes, her heart sank before she even opened her mouth.
Bai Shi had something to hide and was always suspicious. She smiled tentatively, "Zhichun, do you have any misunderstandings about us?"
Xu Zhichun also wanted to test her, so he gave her a deep look, as if hinting at something, but also as if not: "Oh? What do you think, Second Aunt?"
Mrs. Bai felt even more uneasy, and she forced herself to keep smiling. "I think there must be a misunderstanding! We didn't care enough about you and your sister-in-law in the past. This is something we didn't do well enough. We shouldn't be like this as a family. If you need help with anything in the future, just come to us, and we will definitely take care of it for you. After all, you are young, and it is completely different to have elders in this family or not. Especially now that you have made so much money, I don't know how many people are jealous of you. Seeing that you are weak and alone, it is inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives and try to calculate. With our support, you can avoid some trouble. In the future, you will know."
Xu Zhichun: "No need. I'm afraid I'm too unlucky to deserve Second Aunt's care and support. This kind of thing is very mysterious. If something goes wrong and something doesn't work together, there will be a bloody disaster at best, or even death at worst. I'm a coward and I'm especially afraid of this! We can just continue to be the same as before."
Both the Bai couple changed their expressions.
"What do you mean?"
"Xu, how can you talk like that? Your kindness is taken for granted!"
Xu Zhichun smiled modestly, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just saying what's on my mind. When no one cared about me or helped me, I lived an incredibly good life, so I'm really afraid of having someone back me up."
"You..." Bai Shi suppressed a sigh, "Forget it, at least we are relieved to see that you are fine."
"I think she just doesn't know what's good for her—"
"Forget it, forget it, stop talking and let's go."
"snort!"
Xu Zhichun closed the door, thought for a moment, and then asked Chunfen with a smile, "Chunfen, do you think my second aunt is a good person?"
"Not good." Liang Chunfen shook his head: "They all want to bully Sister Zhichun. They are all bad people."
Xu Zhichun smiled. "Well, don't bother me. Just tell me, tell me, well, what do you think?"
"ah?"
The little girl looked confused and ignorant, not quite understanding what "I feel" meant?
