Chapter 74 Everyone, please support Madam Jiang more in the future!
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone present knew Jiang Lianzhu's identity. Everyone knew that she was a stepmother and none of these three children were her biological children.
When he bought the land, he actually divided it among his three kids!
And it’s divided so evenly.
There were rumors before that Jiang was vicious and was not kind to her children, but now it seems that it is completely unbelievable.
It's all just rumors. What kind of noble and upright stepmother is this? She's practically a divine stepmother!
If the children were about to get married and start their own families, it would be easy to divide the family property, but the kids are so young, and you are preparing the family property for them?
Dabao and the others were as quiet as chickens, having not expected this at all.
After a moment of shock, Dabao said, "Mom, there's no need to go through so much trouble. It's the same if I put it in your name."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "No, I brought you here to buy you some land. You've worked hard helping me make the autumn pear paste."
In fact, it doesn't matter whose name it is under, she has to manage it. The children are still young and can't farm.
It's just that she is more careful.
She came from another time, what if she suddenly traveled away again one day?
Who could guarantee that the land under her name would be passed on to her children? What if something unexpected happened, and some high-ranking relative like Old Wang's family came and snatched it away? The three children would be left with nothing, no food to eat, and would have to live a poor life... That would be unacceptable.
She would feel at ease only after she had left each of them some land fairly so that they could live a good life no matter what happened.
Seeing Jiang Lianzhu's insistence, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course, that's fine. If they can't write well, they can just sign their name and put their fingerprints on it."
It was done quickly.
Dabao wanted to say something but held it back.
Erbao and Sanbao were ignorant and became small landlords after signing their names.
You know, people who own more than ten acres of land are considered middle class in the village and can support their entire family.
Dabao silently looked up at Jiang Lianzhu, and his wariness towards Jiang Lianzhu was completely gone.
Apart from anything else, when Jiang Lianzhu remarries in the future, if they don't want to be a burden, they will have their own land and property and can live a good life.
This stepmother really cared about them. She gave him real money to manage. Now that she bought land, she didn't want a single acre of it and gave it all to the three brothers and sisters. Few people could be so sincere.
Even the big families would hold all the family land in their hands, and would only divide it among their sons when they were about to die. By holding the land in their hands at other times, they could hold the authority and make the younger generations obedient.
When it comes to Jiang Lianzhu’s turn, she is completely different. Such a stepmother is better than the biological mother!
If you treat them sincerely, what is there to doubt or criticize?
Dabao was filled with emotion for a moment...
Each of the three children received a share of the land, and the restaurant in the town was named after Jiang Lianzhu.
It only took half a day to complete all the procedures.
After the business was completed, the owner of the pawnshop politely invited the mother and son to dinner, but Jiang Lianzhu refused and did not want to trouble him anymore.
The owner of the pawnshop was very polite and insisted on inviting them to dinner at a restaurant opposite their Yingke Restaurant.
Jiang Lianzhu agreed.
The first time is stranger, the second time is familiar. This time the business is so big, the owner of the pawnshop will probably get a lot of benefits, so it shouldn't be a big loss for him to treat him to a meal.
So we went there as a group.
The three kids had never eaten in a restaurant since they were little, so they felt it was very novel and happy. The little ones were whispering to each other and chattering excitedly.
Jiang Lianzhu felt great holding the land deeds and house deeds in her arms. Now, she had finally traveled here and bought her own property.
From now on, I can farm well, raise children, and don’t have to worry about my livelihood.
The owner of the pawnshop was able to speak and took Jiang Lianzhu and her son into the restaurant.
Many people who knew him greeted him, and the owners of the pawnshops introduced Jiang Lianzhu to everyone one by one.
"Madam Jiang will be the proprietress of the restaurant across the street from now on. Everyone, please support Madam Jiang!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they burst into congratulations.
Jiang Lianzhu also replied with a smile.
I went up to the second floor and found a private room facing the street. The owner of the pawnshop was not stingy.
We ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes: cold shredded vegetables, a large marinated platter, braised pork elbow, braised chicken wings in a pot, scallop and taro cake, hand-pulled beef, garlic lotus root shrimp, and lotus seed and red bean paste...
He also asked the kids what they liked to eat and ordered whatever they liked. He was kind and friendly. He valued the kids from the bottom of his heart.
Not like treating ordinary children.
Madam Jiang divided all the land she bought equally among the three sons. Except for the landlord's son, who was born into wealth, no other child had so much land at such a young age.
How can we do it if we don’t treat it seriously?
It was dinner time and there were many people in the restaurant, but Jiang Lianzhu and her table were served first so they were not neglected.
While they were dining, the owner of the restaurant came up to toast them and asked Jiang Lianzhu what business the Yingke Restaurant across the street was planning to develop.
Jiang Lianzhu replied, "I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll see later."
The restaurant owner joked, "If you don't have any good ideas, you can rent the restaurant to us. We can expand our business. After all, we are face to face, so we can open two. Madam Jiang, go back and think about it."
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it." Jiang Lianzhu didn't refuse outright.
The restaurant owner gave Jiang Lianzhu and the others desserts and a fruit platter before leaving.
The children ate happily.
The owner of the pawnshop was not in a hurry. He ate slowly and while eating, he instructed Jiang Lianzhu on some follow-up matters.
"Mr. Qian's fields and hilltops were all rented out to tenants before. I just took you to see them. Now the crops in the fields have been planted. They are all yours. If you want to change tenants in the future, it's best to wait until the crops are harvested. I've already sent people to explain to them that the fields have changed hands. Next year's harvest will be sent to your Wangjia Village."
Jiang Lianzhu already knew some of the tenant procedures.
Generally, farmers do not own much land, and all the crops are cultivated and harvested by their own family members.
Or a large landowner in the countryside, one with more than 100 acres of land, would have his own permanent workers or hired temporary workers to farm the land, and he would pay them wages.
But if farming is the main business, the rich families living in the county towns, who also have land, will rent out their land to others to farm, and they just have to pay a certain amount of grain every year. These people who rent land to farm are called tenants. Tenants are all based on families, and their livelihood depends on fate. If the harvest is good, or they take good care of the land and harvest more grain, they can make some money. If the harvest is bad, they may lose money, and some may even starve to death.
