The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 49

"Lizheng, I'm a rough person. Please forgive me if I say anything disrespectful to you during the conversation." Fang Yumin didn't sleep well last night, and dragged Lin Qiu to Lin Zhu's house early in the morning to set up a teacher I'm guilty.

Lin Zhuxin nodded with a smile, and said, "It's okay, daughter-in-law Qiulai, if you have anything to say, just say it. Come on, let's talk in the room."

After Lin Zhuxin finished speaking, he stood up and took Fang Yumin and Lin Qiu to the next room to sit down.As soon as the three sat down, Huimin's daughter-in-law brought them three bowls of water.

Fang Yumin waited for Huimin's daughter-in-law to leave the house before saying, "Lizheng, forgive me. Lizheng, what do you mean by asking Qiulai to buy four children? Look at my house. I didn't even have a penny more than two months ago. No, it's just getting better now, but it can only be regarded as okay. Suddenly there are four more mouths, which is not a small burden for my family."

"Daughter-in-law Qiulai, don't be impatient, listen to the old man explain to you." Lin Zhuxin smiled at Fang Yumin comfortingly, and said: "Daughter-in-law Qiulai, living in the countryside, the number of children is small, especially when there are few males in the family. Everyone in the clan is at a disadvantage."

After Lin Zhuxin finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Qiulai and said, "Qiulai, don't mind if there is something unpleasant later."

Lin Qiulai looked up at Fang Yumin, then nodded silently.

I only heard Lin Zhuxin say again: "At the beginning when your mother brought you to our Linjia Village, the family was quite well off, but because there was no man in the family, the land you bought could only be rented out. This field, as long as there is a family If you can work, who wants to rent it and grow it? Your mother has no business, so she can only rent it out at a low price. Later your mother passed away, and you married Qiu Lai, but you were bullied by the big cow's wife. The family has a foreign surname, and you are the only one. There is no mother’s family to support you, and Qiulai often works outside the home. The only thing Da Niu’s daughter-in-law is confident about is that you only gave birth to a son, Xiao Ming. In the village, who doesn’t Have three or five children? She was dissatisfied with you and bullied you, but you were really soft-tempered at that time, and you only wanted to calm things down. If you were as strong as you are now, how could you get such a scene? If You are already resigned to your fate, and no one in the village can help you."

"That was before." Fang Yumin really couldn't understand, what does this have to do with buying four children?
"Yes, it was in the past. But don't forget that Xiao Ming is the youngest in the younger generation of Da Niu's family, and he has no siblings. If he is bullied, who will help him? Can you keep watching him? I see you It's not easy for a young couple. When the family is well-off in the future, don't you ever think that someone will attack your Xiao Ming? Let's not talk about this, let's talk about you and Qiu Lai. In the future, Qiu Lai and Damin will go out. It’s just you and Xiao Ming at home, if you want to do something, don’t you leave Xiao Ming to do it alone? Your family has a total of 42 acres of land, so you can handle it?”

"What does that have to do with buying a child?" Fang Yumin asked directly.

"Daughter-in-law Qiulai, please forgive me for being blunt. You have been married to Qiulai for more than six years, but you only have one child, Xiaoming. This is in the village. Whoever has more brothers will call loudly. If brothers are killed When someone is being bullied, all you need to do is shout, and everyone else will come to help. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Are you so sure that I won't be able to have children in the future? Besides, if Xiao Ming is smart, how can he be bullied?"

"It's not that you can't have children, but when you give birth to children, Xiao Ming can only protect them." At this point, Lin Zhuxin stopped and looked at Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin also looked at Lin Zhuxin with open eyes. Did he decide to buy these four children for Lin Qiulai to protect her Xiao Ming?
Lin Zhuxin said slowly: "I picked these four children who are smart and smart. They signed a death contract, which means they are yours, Lin Qiulai's family. Qiulai's daughter-in-law is also very quick-witted, and she might be married soon. Come up with more ways to make money. Wouldn’t it be better if these methods were entrusted to your own people? After two years, under your guidance, the four of them will definitely make a difference. By then, they will be able to help Watching you do things and protecting Xiao Ming at the same time, isn't it a multiplicity of actions?"

Fang Yumin looked at Lin Zhuxin, feeling very complicated.Is being an official so thoughtful?How could the little village head plan so many things in such a short time?
Fang Yumin smiled and said to Lin Zhuxin: "Lizheng is joking again. Now my family is poor and poor. I just bought some barren dry land because I made a little money selling hot and sour noodles. How can it be like you said? It seems that my family is already big. It’s the same as being a landlord. As for Xiao Ming, do you conclude that he will grow into a weak person in the future?”

"That's not what I mean. I originally wanted to buy a few children to expand the small family of you and Qiulai. There are more people and it's easy to handle." Lin Zhuxin sighed and said, "These four children are also pitiful. Although life is a little bit harder, it is better than selling to a wealthy family, and being beaten and scolded if things go wrong. However, if Qiulai’s wife doesn’t want to adopt these four children, then stay with me.”

Fang Yumin stopped talking after hearing this, but Lin Qiulai felt very sorry, but he didn't dare to say anything.It was up to Fang Yumin to decide.

Lin Zhuxin looked at Fang Yumin, then at Lin Qiulai, and asked, "Do you want to see a few children before making a decision?"

After finishing speaking, they were still silent when they saw Lin Qiulai, so they raised their voices and said, "Amin, please bring some children in."

"Yes."

Then there was a sound of fine footsteps, and Lin Huimin came in with four scrawny little boys.

Fang Yumin looked carefully, and found that although the four children were cleanly dressed, they were pretty handsome.But his complexion was sallow, his hair was also withered and yellow, his hands and feet were thin and lonely, and he was obviously malnourished.They said they were seven or eight years old, but they looked like they were five years old. If they were any shorter, Fang Yumin would have thought they were as young as Xiao Ming.

As soon as the four children came in and took a look at everyone, they bowed to Lin Zhuxin and said in a low voice, "It's just right here." After speaking, they lowered their eyelids and stood in front of them restrainedly.

Fang Yumin looked at them and remembered the first time he saw Xiao Ming, and couldn't help feeling sorry for them.She leaned forward and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The four children looked up at Fang Yumin and then at Lin Zhuxin.A man who looked a little older replied: "The county master said that our name will be taken by the person who bought us, and the previous name can no longer be used."

Fang Yumin asked again: "Then do you want to use your original names?"

The boy bit his lip, looked at Lin Zhuxin again, and said to Fang Yumin, "Lizheng said that using a new name represents a new beginning, and forgetting the old name means forgetting the past and living a new life."

Fang Yumin was speechless with her mouth open, this Lin Zhuxin is really too talented to stay in the Lin Family Village!

Lin Zhuxin stroked his beard and smiled. He introduced the four children kindly, "This is Uncle Qiulai, and this is Aunt Xiaolian."

The four children greeted in unison: "Hello, Uncle Qiulai, and Aunt Xiaolian."

Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay." After speaking, they couldn't help but glanced at each other.

Lin Zhuxin didn't rush them, but just beckoned the four children to come to him and asked them about some things at home.He spoke not in a low voice, but indirectly let Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin understand their backgrounds.

Fang Yumin sighed and said, "Lizheng, these four children will come home with us."

Lin Zhuxin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, kid, go over and kowtow to your parents."

Before Fang Yumin could stop it, the four children kowtowed three times in front of Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin like dumplings: "Father, mother."

"Okay, okay, let's all get up. This hurts so much!" Fang Yumin hurriedly stepped forward to help the four children, and when he touched his arm, it was like a bone.Fang Yumin's heart softened even more.

"Qiu Lai's daughter-in-law, this is their contract of sale, please keep it." Lin Zhuxin handed the contract of sale to Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin took it over and said, "Lizheng, you see that my family has four more children, and the family can't live there anymore. I want to build a house on the land I circled yesterday, but today you are going to announce the recipe of sweet potato flour to the villagers." , it is estimated that people in the village can't help, can you help us arrange a plasterer?"

"Okay, there are skilled masons in the neighboring village. My daughter-in-law Qiulai, how many houses do you plan to build?"

"Seven bungalows, five side rooms, and a high fence. Lizheng, can you estimate how much money it will cost to build such a house?" There is no need to count on the green brick tile house, let's build the adobe house first.In the future, when I have money, I will move to the county town, and if I continue to live in this Lin Family Village, I don't know what troubles will happen again.

Lin Zhuxin couldn't help showing a surprised expression when he heard Fang Yumin's words. Lin Huimin had already exclaimed: "Build seven bungalows?"

Fang Yumin curled her lips and said, "Now there are only seven people in my family. Could it be that Lizheng has decided that I will not be able to have children in the future? If I have one or two more children, wouldn't this just be enough?"

Lin Qiulai immediately grinned after hearing this: "That's right, that's right, Xiao Lian will give me two more children in the future, and the room at home will really only be enough for me, haha."

Lin Zhuxin also laughed when he heard this, and he said, "If we build so many houses, the materials and the wages will probably cost three to forty taels of silver."

Fang Yumin couldn't help sighing heavily after making such a small amount of money by grinding all ten fingers round, and spending it all at once.She looked at the four children standing beside her, they also seemed to be elves, they should be able to help the family raise chickens and rabbits.

But the plowing irrigation and fertilization of the 35 mu of dry land is still not solved.Fang Yumin really had a headache.

"Lizheng, please ask Lizheng for help in building the house. My family Qiulai still has to clean up the 35 acres of dry land. To teach how to make sweet potato flour, please ask Lizheng to ask Aunt Chunhua to help teach the villagers. Our Almost all sweet potato flour is made at Uncle Damin’s home.”

"Okay, let's do that."

"One more thing." Fang Yumin looked up at Lin Zhuxin and said with a smile: "The night before yesterday, we discussed that if the sweet potato flour was sold outside, our family and Uncle Damin's family would take 5% of the total sales as compensation." I would also like to ask Lizheng to draw up a good contract so that it can be realized. Now that there are four more children in the family, Qiulai will go out to work in other counties in the future, and I will be at home with a few children, so Qiulai can feel at ease."

"Hahaha, Qiulai's daughter-in-law is really shrewd. In fact, I have drawn up this contract a long time ago." Lin Zhuxin smiled and looked at Lin Qiulai, then at Fang Yumin, and then stood up and opened the cabinet against the wall .

He took out a wooden box, went to the table and opened it, took out the folded paper and handed it to Fang Yumin, "Qiulai daughter-in-law, take a look."

Fang Yumin took it and handed it to Lin Qiu to read it first, and then took it over and read it carefully after he finished reading it.The format of this contract is almost exactly the same as the contract she and Chang Ji drew up, even the words and expressions are similar.

Fang Yumin couldn't help but looked up at Lin Zhuxin, and then asked Lin Qiulai to put his fingerprints on it, and Lin Zhuxin also pressed his fingerprints on it.Then everyone has one copy.

"Qiu Lai, you return the silver to Li Zheng, and let's go home." Fang Yumin said.

"Okay. Well, Lizheng, please ask Lizheng to name these four children." Lin Qiulai bowed to Lin Zhuxin and said, "It's not easy for Qiulai to go back and ask my father to pick them up like this. Names, Lizheng is the elders, please ask Lizheng to help them choose names."

Lin Zhuxin smiled, and he handed a piece of paper to Fang Yumin and said, "It's all written here. Go back and have a look and tell them."

Fang Yumin rolled her eyes, this old fox!She and Qiu Lai will definitely take these children home if they are determined!
