Chapter 239: Not Giving Up an Inch
When it doesn't concern you, it's better to mind your own business. The people in Loujia Village are watching the fun. Even if they despise and look down on the family of Lou Da and Lou Er, no one will easily offend the villagers. But when it involves their own vested interests, who will be polite to them?
Aunt Lou San and her family were very angry.
"What the hell is this to you? You're all talking nonsense! Li San's family, did I occupy your house? Lou Qi's mother, try to meddle in other people's business and say something more."
"Oh, you're not doing things right, and you don't allow people to say anything?"
"That's right, if you don't let people tell you, then why do you still do it? That's really unreasonable!"
The two sides started a war of words, and Xu Zhichun had nothing to do with it.
Just right.
Having saved his energy, Xu Zhichun simply watched the fun from the side.
She wasn't angry that the people of Loujia Village hadn't helped her before; it was just human nature. They were all worldly-wise and cunning, and she had no reason to expect them to favor a stranger like her.
Lou Lizheng also watched the quarrel coldly. Seeing that Aunt Lou San and her family were being beaten back step by step by the villagers, they were helpless and furious and were about to go crazy. Lou Lizheng coughed and finally came out to take charge of the situation.
"Ahem, alright, alright, what are you arguing about? Stop it. We're all from the same village, even if we're not related, we're still related. Isn't it embarrassing to keep arguing? Aunt Lou, I think your family is more to blame in this matter. Don't worry about whether Madam Xu said that or not. Anyway, Madam Xu has said it clearly and plainly. It's her place, so she can't have the final say, right?"
"If you give me face, we can just treat this as a misunderstanding and let it go. If you're not willing to give me face, then I don't care. Whether Madam Xu wants to report it to the police or something, that's up to her."
You want to forcibly occupy other people's houses, which is unreasonable.
If we really report this to the authorities, you can tell with your toes who will suffer.
Aunt Lou San and her family were angry and resentful.
Originally, they relied on their status as the local boss, and they had previously inquired about Zeng Xiaojuan's matter and knew that Xu Zhichun was a helpless person - helpless and with a little money, so who else could they bully if not her?
I didn't expect that she actually had servants, and that stupid girl with great strength.
I was careless!
Now that things have come to this, it’s all over.
"She had things thrown away in our house—"
"If you're not convinced, why not report it to the authorities? I'll pay whatever the government decides."
"you--"
"For the sake of Lou Lizheng, I won't bother with you about breaking into a private house, and I won't ask for compensation. If you still want to push your luck, I'll have to report you to the police."
“.”
Lou Li had to close his slightly opened mouth again.
He originally wanted Xu Zhichun to take out a few taels of silver to settle the matter. No matter how unruly Aunt Lou San's family was, they were still surnamed Lou. Xu Zhichun kicked them out of the house forcefully. Lou Lizheng felt that the self-esteem of Loujia Village was somewhat hurt, but Xu Zhichun had already made his statement in a firm manner, so he couldn't say anything more.
He knew it was a piece of iron plate and that kicking it would hurt his foot, but he was not so stupid as to insist on kicking it.
Forget it, this family has always been reckless, no wonder people are angry.
Lou Lizheng then frowned, "Why are you looking at me? You were wrong in the first place. Even if they smashed your belongings, you deserve it. Why don't you go back?"
Aunt Lou glared at Xu Zhichun fiercely: "Just wait!"
"Okay, who doesn't have a temper? If you really make me angry, I will definitely vent my anger even if it means losing everything. If you think you can afford to fight me, just come on."
Everyone in Loujia Village was startled, and those who had ulterior motives and tried to take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and rob people also gave up their thoughts.
This Madam Xu is a real tiger.
Aunt Lou San and her family left in anger.
Xu Zhichun said goodbye to Lou Lizheng and took Yang Xiaoan and Liang Chun back to the courtyard.
The lock could not be found, so she had to plan to buy another one tomorrow.
"You two can stay here for now. Come with two or three people. I'll show you my land and tell you how to clean it up in the next few days. I'll come back in a few days and show you the paddy fields. I'll also bring back a lock. You'll be responsible for cultivating and taking care of the two hundred acres of land. I'll hire more people when I'm too busy during the spring plowing and autumn harvest. Are four oxen enough to plow and harrow two hundred acres of paddy fields?"
Of course, with so much land, we need to buy oxen to work it.
Zhang Quan and the others' eyes lit up and they nodded quickly: "That's enough, ma'am, four cows are enough."
Xu Zhichun nodded and continued, "From now on, Zhang Quan will be in charge of the farm's affairs. Both families should listen to Zhang Quan and discuss everything together. Take care of your own affairs. You can go around the village more often and build relationships when you have nothing to do, but don't listen to nonsense easily, and don't easily share your family affairs with others. Also, we are outsiders after all, so we should be more careful in everything."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xu Zhichun nodded and took his men around the house.
This farm is actually not in the proper village of Loujia Village, but on the edge of the village. It covers more than 30 acres of land and includes a small hillside. The place is very spacious. There are not many crops in the fields at this time of year. There are some vegetables in the vegetable garden and some scattered fruit trees on the hillside.
The paddy field is not here, it's about a twenty-minute walk away.
Zhang Quan's wife and the others hurriedly asked if they could grow vegetables in the garden. Xu Zhichun nodded, "You three families can discuss growing vegetables together. There are fewer people now, so there are not so many rules. You can get along well and discuss everything."
The three families quickly agreed.
They were bought servants, and they were naturally in awe of their masters. Moreover, before they even entered the house today, they had witnessed the domineering side of their wives, so they were even more timid and did not dare to act rashly.
Madam is not as gentle and harmless as she seems on the surface, and she is not someone who can be easily manipulated.
After leaving Loujia Village, Xu Zhichun asked Yang Xiaoan to drive the car to the county school.
When she went out today, she specially loaded a basket of sweet potatoes and a basket of potatoes, as well as some tomatoes and strawberries on the ox cart, intending to take them to the teachers in the county school.
After entering the city, I bought some things for Liang Mingxuan and sent them over together.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, yacon, tomatoes, strawberries—who doesn't love them these days? The county college president and other scholars had heard about the sweet potatoes and potatoes and were curious. Xu Zhichun explained that his family had planted dozens of acres, yielding 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms per acre—an incredible amount. The president and his colleagues happily accepted the gift.
Liang Mingxuan was also very happy, looking at his sister-in-law with stars in his eyes: "Sister-in-law is so amazing!"
He knew that he had sweet potatoes and potatoes planted at home. He even watered the strawberry seedlings in the backyard himself, as they grew one after another, full of vitality and lush branches and leaves. However, he did not expect that they would surprise everyone when they matured.
Xu Zhichun was very proud. He patted his shoulder gently and smiled with satisfaction. "When you return home after your leave, I'll show you around our land. We're a wealthy family now. Study hard in the county school and don't worry about me."
Liang Mingxuan smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
Xu Zhichun left the county school and went home in a happy mood, but he was stopped by someone on the way, and his mood was not so happy.
