six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 196

Su Liu could never have imagined that her small piece of land would attract so many people's interest, even Lady Wu had a hand in it. Of course, she was just acting as a middleman.

"Both father and son are good at farming. It's a pity that the old man was seriously ill the year before last, and the only few acres of land in the family were sold to collect money for treatment. Otherwise, they wouldn't end up like this. I also see them as difficult, and they It’s really hardworking, and that’s why I started to draw a line.” Wu Niangzi looked at Su Liu’s face carefully and said: “As for renting a son, it’s five, five, four, six. Of course, if the eldest girl knows it, she can That's all, I'm just pulling a thread."

"24 mu of land, there are only a few people in their family, can they get it?" Su Liu raised his eyebrows.

The person introduced by Mrs. Wu was a brother of her husband's family named Wu Sheng.

"Yes, if you don't think it's right, Miss Wu, it's half of it. It depends on what you want, Miss." Wu Niangzi nodded hurriedly.

Su Liu was silent. In the past two days, many people have asked her about the rent. There is always no shortage of people to rent fertile land. If it weren't for the fact that they are all women and have business in hand, Su Liu would have thought of herself. planted.

When I bought it, the 24 acres of land were not contiguous, but Su Liu and others exchanged a few acres of land for the purpose of facilitating management.

"I remember Mrs. Wu's husband's family is in Bazi Village, right?"

Su Liu only asked this question, and Lady Wu understood the meaning of her words, and immediately smiled wryly: "Miss dissatisfied, my clan brother borrowed everything he could to cure his father's illness, and sold the fields. , it can be said that the family is barren, and in Bazi Village, there is only one dilapidated house to live in."

"They also said that if they can rent the girl's land, they plan to move the whole family to Chentian Village. As long as the land is profitable, it will not be a problem to go back to the village and build a new house after a few years."

Su Liu heard this, and said, "In Chentian Village, how can they settle down as an outsider?"

"The village head of Chentian Village has some kind of friendship with my dead ghost husband, and he can always sell my face. Moreover, their family is gentle and honest." What Miss Wu means is that her brother's family is not the kind Seeing Su Liu's hesitation, she hurriedly said, "This time I'm here, and their wives are following me. The girl has sharp eyes, and she can tell the truth of my words just by looking at them."

Su Liu laughed when she heard the words, and said: "Miss Wu is also a hero among women, and she speaks resoundingly. I still don't believe it? But since you're here, please come over and have a cup of tea."

"Hey, okay, I'll call them right away." Lady Wu stood up.

"It's no use for you, sit down quickly, I'll let the girl go." Su Liu winked at Shuang Ning beside her.

After a while, Shuang Ning came with a man and a woman.

The man was about forty years old, tall and tall, with an ordinary and simple appearance, dark skin, and wearing patched clothes, but they were very clean and tidy.

The woman is also about the same age, perhaps because she has been doing farm work for many years, she is also very strong, with a gentle smile on her face.

The two of them didn't dare to take random glances when they came in, until Mrs. Wu introduced Su Liu, they knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed: "I've seen the eldest girl."

"Get up and talk, watch the seats." Su Liu called out hurriedly, she was still not used to kneeling like this.

"Let's just stand up." Wu Sheng glanced at the polished chair and said awkwardly.

"Sit down, my rules are not that big." Su Liu smiled faintly.

"The eldest girl asked you to sit, so you should sit." Mrs. Wu also winked.

Only then did Wu Sheng and his wife sit down in fear, but they were just next to each other.

Shuang Ning served tea and a small plate of snacks, Su Liu began to ask questions, first asked how many people were there in the family, what were they doing, and what did the couple usually do?
Wu Sheng was a little apprehensive at the beginning, so he stuttered and talked. Later, seeing that Su Liu spoke calmly, he let go of his courage. When he talked about the principles of farming, he even talked eloquently, when to sow seeds, how to cook and control pests , all said in a straight line.

Su Liu smiled while listening, but she was thinking about it secretly.

It is said that the population of Wu Sheng's family is quite small. There is an old man who used to be quite strong, but now he is in poor health, but he can still farm.There are three sons and two daughters. The first two sons and the middle daughter are married, and the younger two are about ten years old.

Children from poor families in the countryside are not destined to be young ladies and masters. The older ones have to help with the work, and the younger ones, who cannot do big jobs, have to do small jobs, or help take care of the children.

This is the case in Wu Sheng’s family. The adults are all working. Now that there is no land, they take on some casual work. hands on.

There are really not many people like Huang who raised their daughters to be young ladies.

Her land is 24 mu, which is actually not too much. If the family is diligent, it is not impossible to do it.And listening to Wu Sheng's words, it's a good move, it's just eggs, should we put them all in one basket?For this family, can we really fix everything?

Seeing Su Liu's silence, the hearts of Wu Sheng and his wife also sank. If Mrs. Wu hadn't said before coming that she couldn't be rude, they might all beg on their knees.

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, to be honest, although I want to rent out this land, I haven't thought about how to get it, or? I'll give you the news later?" Su Liu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Wu Sheng's bright eyes immediately dimmed, and he said with a stiff face, "Whatever you say, Miss."

Aunt Wu was about to cry, and she couldn't help begging: "Miss, you can win even if you rent a few acres of land."

"Sister-in-law!" Miss Wu hurriedly called softly, shaking her head.

Aunt Wu lowered her head, tears welled up, but she didn't dare to cry out.

Seeing Su Liu, she felt a little embarrassed. Mrs. Wu also walked outside for many years, so how could she not see Su Liu's embarrassment?He said: "It's too late for us to bother, so let's go back first, if there is any news about the eldest girl, just send someone to tell me."

"It's okay, don't worry, the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will ask someone to deliver a message to you." Su Liu was very satisfied with Mrs. Wu's understanding of current affairs.

Wu Sheng and his wife wanted to say a few more good words, but they also kept in mind what Wu Niangzi said, neither of them dared to say much, but just followed Wu Niangzi.

Seeing this, Su Liu became more fond of the two of them, crying and saying how miserable she was, and being sympathetic is the most annoying thing, even if you are really having a hard time, even if you don't talk about it, people can see it and magnify the misery If Bo sympathizes, it will only make people bored.

"I won't see you off." Su Liu said with a smile after sending people to the door.

Before Mrs. Wu could speak, two or three cries came over.

"Liu girl, Liu girl."

Su Liu was slightly stunned, looked over, and her smile faded away.

Mrs. Huang walked quickly with Su Yindi and his wife and a little village girl about eighteen or nineteen years old. When they saw Mrs. Wu standing at the door, they couldn't help but look them up.

"Miss, you don't need to give it away if you have guests. We'll wait for your news." Lady Wu said to Su Liu, who didn't know Su Yindi and the others.

Su Liu smiled and nodded.

Wu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Miss, I don't like what I say, but if you can rent the land to us, we will definitely manage it well, and we will never default on the rent. "

Su Liu smiled and didn't answer, but Huang's eyes widened when she heard it, she jumped up, and said sharply: "What, you are here to rent land? No rent, no rent, my granddaughter's land, Her aunt has been rented out, so I’m here to discuss the rent. You go, there’s no land for you to rent.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu and the others looked at Su Liu in astonishment, granddaughter, eldest aunt?This is a relative of Su Liu's family?
Su Liu's face darkened, and she looked at Huang Shi coldly.

When Huang touched Su Liu's indifferent eyes, she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, lowered her head, a little annoyed at her quick talk, and touched Su Liu's brow at this moment.

She just wasn't reconciled, Su Liu refused to rent it to their family, so she thought that Brother Su Yin and the Chen family were close, and with this, she could always rent the land, and when the two families planted it together, wouldn't it be the same?That's why Su Yindi was dragged here. Hearing that Mrs. Wu and the others were here to rent land, they were naturally anxious.

Brother Su Yin and the others were also a little apprehensive. Facing Su Liu's cold face, they didn't dare to express their anger. But her daughter-in-law, although it was the first time she saw Su Liu, came forward very familiarly: "This is cousin Liu'er. Well, I'm your eldest cousin."

Su Liu didn't even look at her, and only smiled apologetically at Miss Wu: "Lady Wu, I'll still say the same thing, I'll give you news the day after tomorrow at the latest, even if I can't give you all, I can share a few acres. of."

Being treated so coldly by Su Liu, Zhu Tangshi's smiling face froze, a little embarrassed.

But Wu Sheng and his wife listened to Su Liu's words, their originally dull eyes brightened up, and they said some kind words of gratitude again and again. Mrs. Wu knew how to smile best, and took them away after thanking them.

As soon as Mrs. Wu left, Mrs. Huang couldn't help it anymore, and looked at Su Liu almost questioningly: "Liu girl, what do you mean, you still want to rent the land to outsiders when you know we're here?"

Su Liu didn't have a good look at Mrs. Huang, and said coldly, "What kind of thing are you? How dare you come to question me? My family's land, whoever wants to rent it, has to get your consent? It's really ridiculous." She flicked Sleeves, turned around and went back to the house.

It's really ridiculous, what is the Huang family, who dared to issue orders for her, and even demolished her platform in front of Mrs. Wu, almost embarrassing her.

Mrs. Huang and the others didn't expect that Su Liu would shame them at the door, so they were dumbfounded, but Su Yindi saw the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Liu girl, it's so hard for aunt to come here, she wants to talk to your mother, Mother, I'll go..."

Su Liu turned around abruptly, her eyes were as sharp as sharp swords, and said: "My mother is not at home, where are you coming from and where are you going." As she spoke, the door was closed and they were not even allowed to enter.

Brother Su Yin always used Mrs. Chen as an excuse. They helped her once or twice, thinking that Mrs. Chen could support her and take advantage of her family!Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, even if she gave all the land to Wu Sheng, she would not give it to these so-called relatives, it is really disgusting.
