Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Upon hearing that Huang Laogen said he wanted to work as a long-term laborer, several old people advised him:

"Old Gen! Now our magistrate has been changed. I heard that this person is an upright official. With the new order issued this year, taxes will be reduced by at least 30%. The merchants in the city can no longer bully the market, nor allow the city to Rich people are bullying and scolding ordinary people at will. If you take the cocoons you raise and sell them in the city, your income will be several times more than before! You are about to have a good life, why are you going there? Are you going to be a long-term laborer?"

"That's right, your ailments have been cured now, and your body is in great shape. Why don't you raise silkworms and sell them?"

"You don't have to sell yourself into slavery if you want to repay your kindness! You can make money by raising silkworms well, and you can use some of the money you earn to thank Mr. Qiao!"

"Really? What's the good thing about being a long-term worker? You eat worse than pigs, work more than cows, and you get beaten and scolded at will. What are you doing? Think carefully and don't be impulsive!"

Those old people were all elders in the village. They had watched Huang Laogen grow up, and they said these things for his own good. Huang Laogen also respected them.

"Uncles and aunts, thank you for caring about me. I have thought about it carefully. Although this village is very good and everyone takes good care of me. But everyone has their own life to live and their own things to be busy with. I am alone Living in a house, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. It seems that life is quite easy, but I always feel that this kind of life is just eating and waiting to die. I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life. Now that my benefactor needs me, I am very happy. My benefactor is so Okay, you won’t treat me badly, don’t worry! If there is a chance in the future, I will come back to see you. Life seems to be getting better now. You should take good care of your health and enjoy a few more years of happiness!"

"Oh! Why don't you listen to my advice? How good can this master be to his slaves? Maybe..."

An old man said a few words, but due to the presence of Mr. Qiao, it was difficult to continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

Huang Laogen had already made up his mind, without any hesitation or regret.

He looked at Qiao Ran and said firmly:

"My boss, if you don't dislike me, I will regard you as my master for the rest of my life! I have made up my mind from the day you first came here, and I will never regret it! If I can't do any work when I get old, Come on, my boss can let me come back and die in my own home, or I can work until I die, and you can just have someone dig a hole for me and bury me. I will die anyway, and I don’t care what happens next. "

Qiao Ran didn't understand why Huang Laogen gave up his status as a free and good citizen and insisted on giving him the right person.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, she said no more.

"Okay, it's up to you! Anyway, I'll give you a few more months. After you teach the villagers, I'll give you a few taels of silver. You can choose to come back to live in Xiangyang Village, or you can choose to stay in Devil's Valley and continue to help. I raise silkworms, and I can work long-term or short-term as you wish, but once you sign the contract, you can't go back on it."

"Don't worry, boss, I will never go back on my word! Boss, can these belongings of mine be moved over? Are they too heavy and will tire the horses? Then I'll keep some of the heavier ones!"

Qiao Ran looked at the two large bamboo baskets, which had taken up more than half of the carriage, and shook her head:

"No, if you want to take it with you, just take it with you! My horse's legs are very strong, so I won't tire it."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, my boss! Dear uncles and aunts, I will leave with my boss now. I will come back to see you when I have time. You should take care of your health!"

Huang Laogen saw that Qiao Ran had finished moving the silkworm-raising tools, so he locked the courtyard door and said goodbye to the elderly people.

Several old people looked at the stubborn Huang Laogen and really couldn't understand why he had such stubborn ideas.

But after all, they were just villagers, not Huang Laogen's family elders, so it was hard to say anything.

I can only tell Huang Laogen to take good care of himself and come back often. If he doesn't have time to come back, he will send someone a message to say that he is safe.

After saying goodbye to the villagers, the carriage drove out of the village.

Huang Laogen originally insisted on driving the carriage himself, but Qiao Ran refused, saying that the horse only listened to his own family and could not be driven by outsiders.

Huang Laogen also said that he would sit on the carriage shaft on the other side. After all, he was just a servant. How could he sit in the carriage and let his master drive the carriage for him?

However, how could Qiao Ran tolerate his mother-in-law? He immediately picked him up and pushed him into the carriage.

Huang Laogen sat uneasily in the carriage, feeling that his life was really worth it. He met such a good owner and was able to ride in such a good carriage.

When the carriage drove out of the village, Huang Laogen looked at the green mulberry forest on the hillside by the roadside, opened the window and asked Qiao Ran:

"My boss, I have taken good care of this mulberry tree. Would you like to take these mulberry leaves back to raise silkworms? It would be a waste to leave them here. I have spent a lot of time on them!"

Qiao Ran looked at the pleasant-looking mulberry forest and wanted to pick mulberry leaves one by one. She didn't know how long it would take to pick them!

She shook her head: "No need, I also have mulberry trees growing there."

But not long after the carriage drove out of the village, Qiao Ran said that the horse didn't drink water when it came, so let him drink some water and eat some grass first, so that he can run faster later.

Huang Laogen has now begun to put himself in the position of a servant. Naturally, he will listen to whatever his boss says.

So Qiao Ran parked the carriage on the side of the road and asked Huang Laogen to lead the horse to the creek on the side of the road to drink water, while she went into the forest.

Huang Laogen couldn't help but ask his employer what she was going to do. He thought she was going to relieve herself, so he obediently guarded the horse and watched the carriage.

Qiao Ran ran back on the way and took the mulberry forest at Huang Laogen's home into her own space.

It took a lot of effort to maintain such a mulberry tree in such a good condition, and Qiao Ran didn't want to let it go to waste.

People in Xiangyang Village only discovered it in the afternoon. Someone passing by that road suddenly realized that the entire mulberry forest was gone. All the mulberry trees had been dug up by the roots and all the soil was taken away.

People in the village are talking about it. They don't know who got the news so quickly. Huang Laogen dug up the entire mulberry forest as soon as he left. It's really wicked.

I don’t know what they were doing by digging up such a mulberry tree. Could it be that the sericulture people in the next village did it?

While they were puzzled, the instigator had already driven the carriage back to Qingshui Village.

Last time, General Zheng sent over several spacious military tents. The women of the Qiao family used one and used another as a kitchen, and the rest were put away.

When Huang Laogen came, Qiao Ran asked her second and third uncles to set up a military tent for Huang Laogen to stay, which moved Huang Laogen to tears.

He is just a servant!

He still thought that he could just build a straw shed to protect him from the rain. How could he have thought that his boss would specially build such a good tent for him to live in?
