Just like that, after a few days, Zhou Lizheng suddenly came and said that a stranger had come and wanted to buy 100 acres of land in Dongshan. Originally, this was nothing, after all, it was wasteland, and it could be exchanged for some money for the village, so there was nothing wrong with it.
But the land that the man pointed to was close to Song Yuehua's cotton field. It was not a good location and it was difficult to reclaim it.
"Has it been sold?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhou Lizheng said, "I pointed him to a piece of land a little further away, but he disagreed and went directly to the county government office to buy 100 acres of land to the east and south of the cotton field. I don't know what his intentions are, but I thought I would remind you. It doesn't matter anyway. By the way, the man who bought the land is named Guan."
Guan Yingwu?
Song Yuehua had a bad feeling and asked again, "Did that person say anything else?"
Zhou Lizheng said, "It seems that he is also planning to build a yard."
Whether it's buying land or building a yard, how could Song Yuehua not realize that it was all aimed at her.
The two of them had only met once, so why did it come to this? Song Yuehua just felt a little headache.
Welcome to the inn.
Guan Yingwu listened to Baozi's report and did not expect that the lame girl was so capable. Not only did she own the school, but she also planted hundreds of acres of cotton fields on the eastern mountain and raised chickens and pigs.
"She is a capable person. In that case, burn her cotton fields and kill the pigs she raises. That will be considered as my apology." Guan Yingwu snorted.
"Second Master, no!" Baozi advised hurriedly, "I also heard that the girl is on good terms with the county magistrate's family. This method can't be used!"
"County magistrate?" Guan Yingwu said in disbelief, "How can such a country girl recognize the county magistrate?"
Yan Feng saw that Xiaoyu had been staying in the Song family for quite some time, so he followed Yan Yujiu's carriage to Qingzhou.
Song Yuehua had dealt with the county magistrate several times. The last time the Zhang family was in court, the lawyer stopped Song Yuehua in front of all the villagers.
Over time, the villagers figured out the recipe.
Baozi told Guan Yingwu the details of the news he had obtained from the villagers. After hearing it, Guan Yingwu gave up the idea of arson.
"You can't burn it, you can't tear it down, and you have to be cautious when dealing with a girl like this. Is this how you do things for me?" Guan Yingwu grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it on Baozi.
Baozi wiped his face with his sleeves and took out the land deed from the account book. He said to Guan Yingwu, "Second Master, we don't need to make a big move to deal with this kind of girl. Poor people like this can't stand any trouble. Some insignificant setbacks in our eyes can cost them their lives, and a little money can break their backs."
"These two deeds are right next to her land. If she wants to expand her cotton field in the future, we will occupy it. Do you think she will be disgusted?"
Guan Yingwu nodded and said, "Okay, then what?"
"Let's clear the land and plant cotton. When the time comes, we can kill aphids on the cotton. By then, will the cotton on her field be spared? This is an insect plague. It's not our fault, Second Master. Don't you agree?"
Guan Yingwu laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Great, that's quite vicious, this kind of thing has to be done by you, kid."
Seeing that the time had come, Baozi took out the account book and said, "Second Master, if this matter wants to go smoothly, it would be best to poach some people from that girl. I roughly calculated it and estimated that it would cost 1,000 taels of silver."
"1,000 taels!"
Guan Yingwu yelled, "Are you planning to buy a golden hoe to hoe the land?"
"Second Master, I'm not making up stories," Baozi handed over the account book and said, "After all, we are in someone else's village. If we want to gain a foothold, the wages we offer cannot be lower than that girl's..."
Guan Yingwu took the account book, opened it and looked at it for a while, then smashed it on Baozi's head and cursed angrily, "400 wen a month, and it also includes food and accommodation. Isn't she just a poor girl? How can you be so lenient!"
Baozi quickly picked up the account book and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but after asking a lot of people, I had to believe it. I heard that those people had eggs and meat in their daily meals, and they ate dry rice. In the summer, they had sweet drinks, in the winter, they had cotton, and during festivals, they also had gifts..."
"Bah!"
Guan Yingwu slammed the table hard, then jumped up with a roar, covering his hands and baring his teeth, "Could it be that I, the young master, have to follow her rules?"
"Second Master, you must not only follow this rule, you must also do better than her rule."
Seeing that Guan Yingwu was about to get angry again, Baozi hurriedly said, "Second Master, she has no extra money to fight you with her behavior. As long as you exert a little force, the lame girl will soon be unable to resist."
"After going through so much trouble and taking so long, it would be better to just burn down her cotton field." Guan Yingwu said angrily.
Seeing that his master was still angry, Baozi said, "Second Master, as the second young master of the Guan family, it is not worth it to take risks for such a yellow-haired girl."
After saying so much, Guan Yingwu was actually not that angry anymore. He sat down and said, "Forget it. She's just a little girl. Why would I spend a thousand taels of silver to deal with her?"
Baozi was shocked and said quickly, "Second Master, you are so magnanimous, but that girl won't appreciate it. If you don't teach her a lesson, maybe she will give you a hard time next time."
"Besides, the master has punished you to stay in seclusion in the manor for a month of meditation. Why don't you take this opportunity to kill time? It's a win-win situation. What's not to do? Besides, the fourth young lady is also here..."
Thinking of Guan Xiaodie, Guan Yingwu regained his spirits and said, "After all, nothing happened. Bring me a pen and paper so that I can write a letter to Brother Sun."
If Guan Yingwu really wanted to take out 1,000 taels of silver right away, he wouldn't be able to do it, but if he could vent his anger, it wouldn't matter.
