Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 162 Rent Collection
When Qu Shaoyang and his family didn't come in the summer, the family thought they had forgotten and didn't have to pay rent this year.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Qu Shaoyang and others came, and brought Xiaozhi with them.

This family was also a scoundrel. Seeing that Qu Shaoyang brought few people, they made excuses, saying that something happened at home and they had no money or food, and wanted to delay paying until next year.

“If I don’t have money and food, will I still be alive?

If you think you are lucky enough to withstand a collision with my gun and the bullets, then just stay.

How about we give it a try?" Qu Shaoyang immediately pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at the other party with a sneer.

This almost scared the other person to the point of peeing his pants, "Don't, don't, man, don't be angry, don't be angry.

Well, I will give it to you. Is that not okay? Wait for a moment. I will go and raise the money. I will definitely give it to you. "

Anyone who has a black gun pointed at him would be scared.

The man quickly begged for mercy, saying that he would go and raise the money right away.

"Fuck it, this guy is just like a donkey. He won't move when you lead him, and he moves backwards when you hit him. What the hell is this guy?

Go quickly, I'll give you an hour.

If you can't raise the money, you can handle it yourself with the people in your family."

Qu Shaoyang sat down on the chair with his big horse and golden sword, slapped his hands on the table, and cursed.

The man of that family was so frightened that he hurried out, borrowed money and food from other families, and paid the rent exactly.

"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? Why waste so much time talking?

Will you rent the land next year? Tell me now. If you don’t want to rent it, I will immediately change the owner.”

Qu Shaoyang gave the silver and money to Xiaozhi, loaded the grain onto the cart, and turned back to ask the man.

"Rent, and pay it back next year." The other party said hurriedly, trembling with fear.

The Zhang family's land is of prime quality and has a high yield. If they don't rent it out, I don't know how many people would rush to rent it.

"Okay, if you want to rent it, you should behave yourself. If you dare to do these things again, I will show you how I will deal with you."

Qu Shaoyang cursed and led Xiaozhi and Xingjia away.

"Brother, I want to sell those lands. They are so far away, and it's not worth collecting rent every year.

And as you can see, there are few good people in this village.

It's so hard to rent a house, I feel disgusted when I see them, and I don't want to have anything to do with them."

Not far from the house, Xiao Zhi said.

Xiaozhi is ten years old this year and has been studying with his teacher for almost a year. He has become more mature and more steady in his approach to things.

On the way here, Xiaozhi was thinking about it, but he didn't say it.

After what happened just now, he became more determined to sell the land.

“Well, you can sell it if you want, but you can’t sell it in this village.

You also said that there are few good people in this village. If you sell it to them directly, you will definitely be forced to lower the price and get very angry.

I'll find a pawnbroker later, and I'd rather let the pawnbrokers take a cut than let these bastards take advantage."

Qu Shaoyang thought about it and decided that it was not impossible to sell the land, but not right now. If he sold it now, he would definitely not get a good price.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

After all, Xiaozhi is still too young and doesn’t understand many things.

However, this child has one advantage: he is willing to listen to advice and trusts Qu Shaoyang very much.

They did whatever Qu Shaoyang said.

The three of them drove the carriage out of the village and headed towards Yanwangbishi to meet Liu Dongshan and Xingye.

Then, the group drove back and returned to Maoer Mountain a few days later. At home, Lin Ruolan was leading people to make bedding for Qu Shaoyang's wedding.

The four beds and four blankets are almost done. I estimate that it will be almost finished in another day.

"A few days ago, the second leader of the Pai Gang was called Wang Changliang, right?

He came to our house with a few guys, saying that they were on their way back to the mountain and passed by here, so they came to visit.

It just so happened that you were not there, so they sat for a while and then left. Before they left, they left a message saying that they would still be working in the mountain field at the other end of Hengshan this year. "

When Lin Ruolan saw Liu Dongshan, she quickly told him what had happened at home in the past few days.

"From the way they look, they don't seem to be doing very well. From what they said, it seems that they still want you to lead them."

When Lin Ruolan said this, she glanced at Liu Dongshan.

Liu Dongshan laughed when he heard it, "How old am I? Why am I still trying so hard?

Now I have a house and land, you and two children. Should I give up my good life and go to the mountains to be controlled by others?

Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Lin Ruolan felt relieved after hearing what her husband said.

It was getting late, so she quickly finished cooking and entertained those who helped make the quilt.

As for Qu Shaoyang, he returned home and carefully put away the remaining silver and money.

Then he took the jewelry, fabrics and other things he bought for Chen Xiuyun and went to Chen's house to find Chen Xiuyun.

"Aunt, is Xiuyun at home? I'm here to look for her."

As soon as he entered the Chen family's gate, he saw Li walking towards the kitchen with firewood. Qu Shaoyang hurriedly greeted Li.

"Oh, Shaoyang is back? He came back pretty quickly this time. Xiuyun is at home, embroidering her veil in the west room.

You can go to the west room to find her directly, and stay for dinner later, so you can have a drink with your uncle."

The two families lived close to each other and there was no rule about not being able to meet before marriage. Mrs. Li did not make things difficult for Qu Shaoyang and let him into the house directly.

The Chen family's new house has three main rooms and two side rooms, as well as wing rooms on the east and west sides. The house is quite large, and is built in a neat and imposing manner.

Doctor Chen and his wife lived in the east room, and Chen Xiuyun was arranged to live in the west room.

If Chen Yunhan and Chen Yunzhe get married in the future, they can live in the east and west wing rooms.

Qu Shaoyang did not rush to the west room directly, but went into the east room first to greet Doctor Chen.

Doctor Chen was sitting at the table on the kang, holding a pen in his hand, but no one knew what he was writing.

As soon as he saw Qu Shaoyang coming, he quickly stopped writing and invited Qu Shaoyang to sit on the kang.

"Uncle, what are you writing?" Qu Shaoyang glanced at the words on the paper. It seemed to be a prescription?
"Oh, I have nothing to do now, so I wrote down all the medical records and prescriptions I have used in my years of medical practice.

I’m afraid that as time goes by, my brain won’t work well enough and I’ll forget it again.”

After all, Doctor Chen has been practicing medicine for half his life. He suddenly stopped practicing and felt uncomfortable being idle, so he had to find something to do.

Qu Shaoyang nodded and pondered for a moment before telling Doctor Chen what he had seen and heard in Kuandian.

When Doctor Chen learned that there was a notice posted in Kuandian for the arrest of his family, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that our family can only hide in obscurity."

"That's not the case. Flowers don't last forever. Who knows how many good days the Tong family has left?
Who knows when their family will fall from power, and no one will care about those things anymore." Qu Shaoyang smiled and comforted Doctor Chen.

“Posting the notice proves that they haven’t caught anyone, so the eldest and second brothers are safe.

You and aunt, don't worry too much about them. I think, after Xiuyun gets married, they will definitely come back, right?"
