Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Xia Rui opened the box and found a pile of silver ingots inside.

At the beginning, Zhou Yin and Xia Xia and his son negotiated that the fields and shops he left in Shangzhou, including the house, would be taken care of by them, and all the rents would be handed over to them. He would come back once a year, or every other year. When you come back once to pick it up, you will also have to sacrifice and sweep your home.

So Zhou Yin specially reduced the rent by 40% as a reward for them.

The rent for one year is 18 taels, and Xia Xia puts 18 taels of silver in it every year, just thinking that when someone finds it back someday, he will not be able to use the money to break his trust.

In the past 14 years, their family has not been smooth sailing, but no matter what happened, no matter how difficult it was, they never moved the money in this box.

In Xia Xia's words, the most important thing in life is to keep promises.

There are now two hundred and fifty-two taels in the box, Xia Xia said with a smile: "There is still a sum of money, which I supplemented, and I haven't been able to keep the fields for your parents over the years. How can I get it? I asked your aunt to go to the store to get it, and she will come back after you wait for a while."

Man Bao smiled and nodded, but did not refuse, "That's a lot, it's so heavy, Aunt Rui definitely won't come back so quickly."

Xia Xia nodded, "Then you sit and eat here, it's best to have dinner before leaving, and see your cousin, your cousin is studying, but unfortunately he doesn't have the talent of your grandfather and father to read. , I have read it for many years and have not read anything famous..."

Xia Xia rambled on for a while and then fell asleep unconsciously.

Xia Rui looked terrified, reached out and touched his nose, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Man Bao, Man Bao nodded slightly, and Xia Rui took the box of money out to her, he said, "Your aunt probably won't be back in a while, you sit down and wait."

Man Bao said: "Uncle Rui, you don't need to give me the 40% of the money."

She said: "This matter is not considered a breach of trust by you. My father and mother did not come back on time. You took risks that you should not have taken. If you say you have broken your trust, it is also my parents who have broken your trust. Although they were forced."

Xia Rui looked at Zhou Man in surprise, not expecting that she would say these words.

Man Bao glanced back at the main room, took out a house deed from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Xia Rui, saying, "Thanks to your care for so many years, Uncle Rui doesn't have to rush to move the shop. This shop is a gift to you."

"How does this work?" If he had some expectations about the 40% of the renters, but this was completely beyond his expectations, Xia Rui pushed back and said, "This can't be done, this shop is yours, I can't Yes, if you are embarrassed, how about continuing to rent this shop to me?"

Man Bao shoved it into his hands strongly, and said sternly: "Uncle Rui, I can even give the ancestral land to the clan who have never taken care of me, why can't I give you the shop?"

Xia Rui opened his mouth and said somewhat ashamedly: "This, how is this different?"

"It's different," Man Bao said with a smile: "I may not have much contact with the clan in the future, but the tombs of my grandparents and grandparents are still here, and even my children will come back here in the future. The only one who can rely on and get close to is Uncle Rui.”

Xia Rui was both obedient and ashamed, and he hesitated several times.

Man Bao didn't seem to see it, he firmly put the house deed into his hand, and then said: "There is no need for Uncle Rui to know about this matter. By the way, I will accept this box of rent. Many thanks to Uncle Rui over the years. Take care of your grandparents."

After all, he solemnly bowed to Xia Rui.

Xia Rui quickly supported her and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this..."

Man Bao went out with a box of silver in his arms, and Bai Shan, who was waiting outside, stepped forward to catch it, and almost fell to the ground.

He took a breath and asked, "Why is this so heavy?"

Man Bao shook his hands calmly, "Money!"

Bai Shan:  …

Xia Rui, who was holding the house deed and followed behind, instantly recovered from his trance. He stepped forward to help them carry it. Daji had already carried it and put it in the car. Bai Erlang, who was sitting beside the car, couldn't help but open the box and glance at it. .

Seeing the silver ingot with white flowers inside, I couldn't help but stunned, and looked at Zhou Manshi with complicated eyes.

Before she knew it, she was already richer than them. He and Bai Shan were the richest when they were young.

Man Bao supported Bai Shan's hand into the car, and said to Xia Rui who was standing beside the car: "Uncle Rui, go back, I will visit Uncle again before I leave."

Xia Rui responded, took a step back and watched her leave.

When he returned to the inn, Old Zhou Tou touched the silver ingot in the box and said, "The Xia family is also your uncle."

Man Bao nodded, "Actually, they can almost buy a shop with so much money."

Friday Lang said: "There's more than that shop in your house."

He said: "The upper and lower floors, and a backyard, are not smaller than our restaurants in the capital, and the location is good. Even if Shangzhou is not as good as the capital, the price is not much different."

After all, the location of their shop in the capital is actually average, and it is far inferior to the shop in the center of Shangzhou. I don't know how my uncle bought this shop back then.

Man Bao didn't know either, but she didn't feel bad about giving it away, "I asked Uncle Rui to take care of the tomb of the ancestors here."

Old Zhou nodded, and Man Bao had said a few days ago that he would send the shop out, so he had passed the period of heartache.

Man Bao looked around and asked, "Is the person who went to collect the rent still back?"

Daji said: "No."

Man Bao touched his chin and said, "It seems that Patriarch Xia didn't prepare in advance. He must be very heartbroken."

No matter the heartache, Patriarch Xia still handed the rent to the two guards who pulled the car. The matter has already progressed to this point, there is no need to cause trouble again because of this matter, but he is puzzled, how could Zhou Man be? in such a hurry.

When she came yesterday, everyone was very friendly. He thought she would raise the rent after the autumn harvest this year.

His son hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yesterday, she was a little unhappy when she went to see the graves of her uncles, and didn't say much when she came back. Is it because of this?"

Patriarch Xia suddenly realized, and sighed after a while: "I see, you can go to Xu Lichang's place when you have time, and tell him that Zhou Man wants to rent a child this year."

"Will Xu Lichang be to blame?"

Patriarch Xia snorted softly: "What can he blame? Taking a step back is what he means, isn't the rent he has paid for all these years not enough? And this time he registered in front of the county magistrate, now I'm afraid it won't be enough. There will be trouble, and who can say what will happen in the future? Just go and say that we have handed over the rent from our family and the previous years, and he naturally understands. "

That's what his son should do.

Patriarch Xia sighed: "I don't know what Zhou Man's situation is in the capital. I only heard that she is a genius doctor, but unfortunately she refuses to change her surname..."

His son lowered his eyes, the Xia family and Zhou Man didn't have much affection, and the Zhou family was not bad to her, how could she change her surname?
