Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 418 444. Advance Rent
Jia Da and his son are very swollen now.

When the rebels came to Xinghua Village to plunder, Jia's family and Lin Langzhong's family were the only two families in the village that were not robbed.

Doctor Lin's house is located at the foot of Mount Wutong, some distance away from the village, and the rebels came and went in such a hurry that they didn't have time to go to Doctor Lin's house.

As for the Jia family, it all depends on the three of Jia's father and son daring to fight for their lives.

Jia Da, his father, and his son had big arms and round waists, and their house was dilapidated.

Seeing Mr. Jia and his son guarding the door with kitchen knives and hoes in their hands, they looked desperate with red eyes.The rebels simply passed Jia's house and went to another house nearby.

After the rebels left Xinghua Village, Jia Da and his son were very proud, bragging about their "skills" in the village.

When Chen Erniu went to Jia's house, Jia Da father and son were there.

After hearing Chen Erniu's intention to come, the elders of the Jia family were all embarrassed.

"Dear family, what are you talking about? It will take several months for the sweet potatoes to be harvested! Are you asking me to advance the rent to you?" Jia Da said unhappily.

Jia Da originally planned to white-plant the land of Chen Erniu's family.

If Chen Erniu hadn't returned to the village suddenly, Jia Da wouldn't have given him a catty of rent.

The Jia family is poor, with only one mu of land in total.

When Xinghua Village hadn't grown sweet potatoes, the little production in Jia's field was not enough to eat.

Thanks to Jia Yinzhu and his brothers being strong and strong, doing odd jobs to earn money, and sometimes going to Wutong Mountain to hunt to supplement the family, and Jia Yinhua's help from time to time, Jia's family barely survived.

Last autumn, the Jia family harvested more than 2000 catties of sweet potatoes.

Jia's family is large, with more than a dozen people, old and young, who have eaten for half a year and consumed a lot.

Some time ago, the price of sweet potatoes skyrocketed.

Jia Da secretly took it to the county town and sold it for several hundred catties.

Now, the Jia family has less than [-] catties of sweet potatoes left.

Chen Erniu asked for three hundred catties of rent, and Jia Da was definitely not willing.

There are still two or three months before the harvest, and they may not have enough food for themselves. How can Jia Da be willing to "pay rent" to Chen Erniu in advance?
"Jia's family, is there nothing I can do? To tell you the truth, I went out this time and came back in trouble. I thought I could live a stable life after returning home, but I didn't expect that the food at home was robbed by the rebels. If you don’t give rent, my mother Qingshan and I will starve to death!” Chen Erniu salivated and spoke nice words to Jia Da.

"No, I, Jia Da, have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never heard of the reason why I came to ask for rent before the food in the field was confiscated." Jia Da kept shaking his head.

"Jia's family, if you don't rent the son, I will take the field back." Chen Erniu lowered his face and said threateningly.

"You take the field back and grow it yourself? Chen Erniu, are you still shameless?" Jia was furious.

"We just planted sweet potatoes, and you are going to take back the field, how can this be done?"

"We agreed to plant the land for three years. It's less than three months now!"

The Jia Yinzhu brothers also jumped up to object.

"Jia's family, the field belongs to my family. Before our family went to the capital, I let you help plant it. Now that we are back, of course the field must be returned to me." Chen Erniu said triumphantly.

Chen Erniu actually didn't want land, he just wanted food.

But Jia Da is unwilling to give food!

Chen Erniu had no choice but to take back the field as a threat.

"No." Jia Da sullenly, winked at his two sons
"As soon as you talk up and down, let our family work for you for a few months, how can there be such a reason in the world?" Jia Yinzhu rolled up his sleeves, with a sullen expression on his face.

"We disagree." Jia Yinhammer also rolled up his sleeves, revealing the strong muscles on his arms.

"The field is mine. I'm here just to have a chat with you. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. Anyway, I don't need you to take care of it in the future. I'll go to the field and pick some sweet potato vines to go home later." Chen Erniu turned around just go.

"Do you dare?" Jia Da punched the table and stood up.

"Chen Erniu, if you want to touch the sweet potato vines in the field, first ask me if I agree with the kitchen knife in my hand!" Jia Yin hammered even more decisively, took a kitchen knife directly from the kitchen, and chopped it on the door frame.

Chen Erniu just walked to the door, and was scared back by Jia Yinchui's hand.

Jia Da looked at Jia Yinchui with admiration.

"Jia's family, you don't care if your son is so young or not?" Chen Erniu said unconvinced.

"Dear family, it's not impossible for you to get the field back, but you should pay us for the hard work of these months. Although my father's efforts are worthless, there is no reason to throw them away for nothing. You say yes No?" Jia Dapi said with a smile.

"I'll count your wages for you." Chen Erniu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming to Jia's house, Chen Erniu thought of several plans.

If the Jia family is willing to rent it out now, the Jia family will take care of his field temporarily, and after the sweet potatoes are harvested, they will take them back and plant them at home.

The Jia family was unwilling to rent the son, so Chen Erniu took the land back.

The sweet potato vines in the ground have grown.

For these two or three months, Chen Erniu and his wife would not die of hunger even if they ate sweet potato vines every day.

"Okay then, Chen Erniu, tell us how much you'll pay us." Jia Da said with a long face.

"After the harvest in the fields, I will give you five hundred wen," Chen Erniu said.

Chen Erniu had already figured it out in his heart.

If more than ten mu of land is planted with sweet potatoes, it will take more than 30 workers.

Fifteen cash per worker is enough to pay Jia Da and his son five hundred cash for their hard work.

However, Chen Erniu has no money in his hands now, so the money can only be given after the sweet potatoes are harvested.

The Jia family's father and son were so angry that their noses almost crooked.

Chen Erniu is really good at calculating. He wants to send them away with five hundred Wen?And it was five hundred texts a few months later.

"150 taels of silver. Chen Erniu, bring the silver, and I'll return the land to you. Otherwise, don't blame me for not respecting relatives." Jia Da sneered and said.

Jia Da also has his own little abacus.

Over the years, Chen Erniu's family has lived a prosperous life, but Jia's family has found it hard to get cheap.

Chen Erniu is down and out now, if Jia Da doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune, he doesn't know if he will have a chance in the future!

"What? 150 taels of silver?" Chen Erniu opened his mouth wide in surprise.

It only costs about 13 taels of silver to buy an acre of high-quality land, and five taels of silver an acre of thin land.

The fields that Chen Erniu entrusted to Jia Da and his son were ten acres of high-quality fields and three acres of poor land.

Jia Da asked Chen Erniu to give 150 taels of silver, which was almost equivalent to asking Chen Erniu to spend money to redeem his family's field.

"Yes, you bring 150 taels of silver, and we'll return the land to you right away." Jia Yinzhu came to his senses and hurried to help.

"You might as well grab it!" Chen Erniu said angrily.

"Then you don't have to give it to me! After we have planted enough for three years, we will naturally return the land to you." Jia Da spread his palms, acting like a rascal.
