Chapter 32 Measuring the Land



"Dean, I was wrong. I will take everyone away now." When Miss Zhao heard that they were going to find the county magistrate and her father, she was so scared that she didn't dare to stay. If her father knew what she had done in the academy, he would definitely punish her, and her mother would not be able to help her then.

Miss Zhao left in disgrace. The dean and the supervisor criticized Yang Zhongxin and Liu Jinhu and asked them to write a letter of apology before letting them go.

The two looked at each other innocently and resigned themselves to their fate before going back to write.

After writing the letter of apology and handing it to the dean and the supervisor, Yang Zhongxin returned to the courtyard to take Bai Yu and Bai Jun to Yichengxin to fulfill his promise.

The five of them were sweating profusely as they feasted on spicy hot pot and hot and sour noodles in Yang's private room. Shopkeeper Wu also brought them a lot of snacks and fruit, which flattered Liu Jinhu and Wu Xiaochen. They had never been treated this way when they ate hot pot. Could it be the treatment in this private room? I heard that this room belonged to the owner. How did Yang Zhongxin get this room? What was his relationship with the owner of the hot pot restaurant?

If they knew that the owner of the hot pot restaurant was surnamed Yang, and from Yang Zhongxin's family, I wonder how many teeth they would drop.

In fact, when they arrived, the hot pot restaurant was already full, and there were still many customers waiting in the waiting room. They thought they might not be able to eat this time, but they didn't expect that Manager Wu saw them and actually asked them to go to the private room on the second floor. They were confused at the time, and just followed Manager Wu to the private room in a daze. Until now, they still don't feel it is real.

"Bai Yu, go down and pay the bill." After everyone had eaten, Yang Zhongxin asked his personal servant to pay the bill. This was just for the sake of face. When eating in his own restaurant, the amount was always counted and no money was required.

Bai Yumiaodong walked out of the box and stood outside for a while before returning to the box to tell the owner that he had paid the bill.

Yang Zhongxin took his classmates and Bai Yu and Bai Jun back to the academy for class.

Today, Yang Qingman took Zhutong and Baiyu to the puppet shop. Her new pandas and cute cats were very popular, especially the big puppets and pendants, which were basically sold out.

Seeing the store crowded with customers, Yang Qingman smiled with satisfaction.

"Miss, your shop is doing so well. You are so awesome!" Zhu Tong had never seen such a scene before. She felt that the young lady was very smart and good at business. She was very lucky to be able to buy into the Yang family.

Not only did the Yang family not beat or scold the servants, they also gave them delicious food and provided them with beautiful rooms.

Bai Yu had the same idea as Zhu Tong. He used to be a security guard in his master's house. He was a house slave, and his parents and sister were also house slaves. However, their family of four could only live in one room, which could only accommodate two beds. When his sister was young, his parents could still sleep in the same bed with her. When she was five years old, his sister could no longer sleep in the same bed with his parents, so he had to sleep on the floor and let his sister sleep in his bed. Although life was difficult, as long as the family was together, they could endure it.

However, the second young lady wrongly accused her younger sister of stealing her jade hairpin, beat her younger sister all over, and said she would hand her over to the authorities.

At the request of my parents, the owner sold them, but fortunately they met a new owner who bought them.

"This is all thanks to my fifth sister." Yang Qingman was lucky to be born into the Yang family. She was loved by her grandparents and her parents, unlike other families that looked down on girls and left them starving or being scolded. She also had a clever younger sister who taught her family how to trade, which is why she has the life she has today.

"Fifth Miss?" Zhu Tong was very curious why the eldest lady said it was the credit of the fifth lady.

"Zhutong, don't be curious. Don't ask about the master's affairs. I will tell you what you can know, and don't ask about what you can't know. Just do your duty, okay?" Yang Qingman didn't want too many people to know about the fifth sister. This was the common idea of ​​the Yang family. The Yang family only wanted to protect Yang Youxue.

"Miss, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!" Zhu Tong was so scared that she begged for mercy. She knew she had crossed the line.

"Since you are a Chu Fan, I will let it go this time, but if it happens again, I will sell you out. The same goes for you, Bai Yu. Remember to do your duty and don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Do you understand?" Yang Qingman admonished the two of them, hoping that they would do their duty well, otherwise don't blame her for being ruthless.

"Yes, Miss, we obey your command!" Zhu Tong and Bai Yu said in unison.

"It's good that you know. Let's go in and help!" After beating Zhu Tong and Bai Yu, Yang Qingman brought people into the store to help.

Taohua Village was also very busy at the moment. After finishing their breakfast, Yang Zhongyi, Yang Zhongcheng, and Old Man Yang came out to Taohua Ridge to wait for the yamen runners to come and measure the hilltop.

This time it was Liu Yacha who led the group. The county magistrate personally called him over and said that when measuring the mountain, they could release some water and measure a few acres less. This was considered a backdoor for the county government to thank the Yang family.

Seeing that the Yang family was waiting, Liu Yacha greeted the Yang family and started to set off.

It was not until the afternoon that the measurement was completed, and the total amount was 1,167 acres. Liu, the yamen runner, told the Yang family that the county magistrate had erased seven acres from their allowance and asked them to bring 1,600 taels to the county government office tomorrow to get the land deed.

Yang Zhongyi asked Liu Yacha to go back and thank the county magistrate on his behalf, and gave Liu Yacha two taels of silver as a reward, while the other Yachas were given one tael of silver.

Liu Yacha took the yamen runners back to the county government office to report to the county magistrate.
