Daming female local tyrant

"Presumptuous! How dare you talk to my girl like that, you wild girl!" An Chun has always been quick-spoken, and as soon as Jing Lan finished speaking, she stepped forward a few steps, stretched out her hand and pushed Jing Lan back and scolded.

Jing Lan's almond-shaped eyes widened, she glared at An Chun, and said loudly, "That's right!"

Mother Chen also spoke, she said that Jinglan was with the two thieves who were locked in the stable below, and that the aunt and grandma treated her kindly, she didn't know how to thank her, and she said such heartbreaking words, she should be taken away. She took them down and locked them in the stable together.

"Hmph! I don't care about being here. Don't think that if you lock me here and give me good tea and snacks, I will treat you as a good person!" Jing Lan said to Shen Wan who was looking at her. Yes, very tough.

Shen Wan was slightly surprised, how could Jing Lan react differently from her previous life after listening to Mother Chen's words.

Just now she deliberately asked Chen's mother to answer outside this hut, nothing more than to let Jing Lan hear what the two of them were talking, and then Jing Lan would panic and come out to intercede for her brother and Ah Hu, saying that she was willing to be a slave Be true to yourself.If Jing Lan had said it, she would have agreed after pretending to ponder for a while.

But Jing Lan not only did not beg for mercy and said that she was willing to be her slave, but also accused herself in strong words, saying that she was rich and unkind, and that she was too much.

Where did the problem go wrong?

Shen Wan withdrew her gaze, thought for a while, stood up, and ordered the two little maids to keep watch over Jing Lan, while she walked out with Mother Chen and An Chun.

An Chun walked last, and when she came out, she still locked the door again, and asked the two little maids to guard Jing Lan strictly. If there was any movement in the room, one of them would come over and report to her at any time.

Shen Wan walked into the study next door, and then asked Mother Chen to listen to her, and told her a few words. Although Mother Chen was confused, she still nodded in agreement.

Mother Chen went downstairs to find Steward Fan, and told Steward Fan what Shen Wan had just told her: "My aunt said, our Shen family has no shortage of rice, if we promise the parents of those thieves and thieves to pay two thousand catties of rice, If it spreads out, people will say that we are rich and unkind, in the fish and meat town..."

Steward Fan smiled and nodded: "I'll just say it, my aunt will definitely agree with what I said, these rice thieves should be taken to the yamen to be punished, and the chickens should be killed for monkeys, so that the poor ghosts here will not dare to fight again." Our Shen family's idea."

Chen's mother was a little disgusted with Steward Fan's answering the words too quickly, she shook her head, and she went on to say: "My aunt asked me to pass on a message to you, but she changed her mind, she wants to detain that wild girl from the Lin family as a slave. She also asked you Go tell the parents of the rice thieves, if they are willing to sign a contract of prostitution with her as a girl from the Lin family, she will let these thieves rice thieves go, let them go back, and there is no need to pay for the thousands of catties of rice."

"Ah!" Steward Fan was taken aback. She looked at Mother Chen with an expression of disbelief, "...Auntie really said that?"

Mother Chen nodded, frowned, and said to herself: "Is it because the Lin family girl was upstairs and said something rude to her, so she got angry and calculated that she wanted to turn the Lin family girl into her?" Your servant, will you take care of her slowly in the future?"

"Is there such a thing?" Fan Butler asked.

Mother Chen told Steward Fan about the scene she saw when she went to Zhuyun Tower to meet Shen Wan.

After hearing this, Steward Fan opened the account: "A girl like Lin's girl who looks upright and is 13 years old would cost five or six taels of silver to buy it from Yaren. Nowadays, one tael of silver can buy two stones of grain, and a thousand catty The food costs about three taels of silver..."

In the end, Steward Fan slapped his thigh and praised that the auntie was still smart. If she turned the girl from the Lin family into her maid, not only would she not lose the excuse of Yurou Township, but she would also make money. At the same time, she would punish the Lin family who stole rice. You can teach that wild girl a lesson and let her know how powerful she is.

When Steward Fan said this, Mother Chen also understood, she couldn't help giggling, and followed Steward Fan to praise her great aunt.

"I'm going to tell Lin Gensheng and the others, just wait, I'll go up and talk to my aunt later."

"it is good."

In Fan Steward's opinion, Lin Gensheng and his wife would definitely agree to the request made by the great aunt. After all, instead of sending their son to the yamen, letting their son go, they just let their daughter be sold as a slave of the Shen family. They hit the jackpot.Furthermore, even though the daughter of the Lin family became a slave and was punished by her aunt and grandma, at least she would not suffer from hunger and cold, which was much better than living with them as husband and wife.

Lin Gensheng and Geng Shi waited anxiously in an empty room near the kitchen in the Shen family courtyard. They also met Steward Fan, and found out that Ah Shan and Ah Hu stole a thousand pounds of rice and were about to be escorted to the yamen for punishment. Finally, after discussion, he gritted his teeth and offered to double the compensation, that is, to exchange two thousand catties of rice for the Shen family to let go of the three children.

Steward Fan didn't agree to them immediately after hearing this, but told them to wait. He said that the eldest aunt of the Shen family is here now, and this matter needs the approval of the eldest aunt of the Shen family, so he asked them to wait for an answer. .

After Fan Steward went out, the two families talked about it. They agreed that Ah Shan and Ah Hu did not steal Mi Qianjin, at most twenty catties. Fan Steward said that stealing Mi Qianjin was just trying to blackmail them.That's all, if you are blackmailed, you will be blackmailed, it is better than the children being sent to the city's yamen to be beaten and suffer.Therefore, they knew that Steward Fan was blackmailing them, so they not only had to swallow their anger, but also proposed double compensation.They thought that they had greatly satisfied Steward Fan, or the master of the Shen family's blackmail, and the master of the Shen family would always let their children go.

Lin Gensheng has been moaning and sighing, saying that this time he estimated that he would have to sell an acre of land to save his son and daughter.He said that he was an unfilial son and couldn't keep the property left by his father.Although Geng Shi and his wife didn't talk about the sale of the field, their faces were also ugly. In order to save their son Ahu, they had to take out all the grain in their barn, and they had to spend their savings to buy grain.

The men of the two families said that after taking the children back, they would beat them up and break their legs, because they would run out and cause trouble for the family.

Steward Fan led the two servants back and forth, sat on an armchair brought by the servants, looked at Lin Gensheng and the others, and said, "My aunt told me that our Shen family has no shortage of food. If you were asked to pay two thousand catties of rice, it would appear that we in the Shen Family Fish and Meat Township are rich and unkind..."

Lin Gensheng and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. They thought that Steward Fan would say that the eldest aunt of the Shen family would be kind, and they would let the children go home regardless of Ashan and Ahu stealing rice.

Who would have thought that Steward Fan would immediately say that the aunt of the Shen family was determined to punish the three thieves who stole rice and send them to the government for punishment.

As soon as the words fell, the faces of Lin Gensheng and the others turned pale, and the two women began to cry, begging Steward Fan to help spread the word, as long as the children are not sent to the Yamen for punishment, they will agree to any conditions. Even if they are asked to be slaves and handmaids, they are willing.

Steward Fan looked at the two women with a sneer, and said, "What can you do as slaves at your age? But, since you have said so, I think of the girl from the Lin family who came to steal rice with the two boys this time. But Zhou Zheng, if she is allowed to serve as a slave in the Shen family, maybe this matter can be turned around."

As soon as the words came out, the two women stopped crying, and Lin Gensheng hurriedly asked Steward Fan if the words were serious.

Fan Guanjia said: "Of course it is true."

When Xie saw her husband moved, she cried loudly, saying that she did not want her daughter Jinglan to be a slave in Shen's house.

Lin Gensheng pulled her aside, scolded her in a low voice, told her not to cry, and asked her whether her son Ashan or Jing Lan was more important. She wouldn't be confused, would she?

Xie looked at her husband twitching, seeing him staring at her with an angry face, she couldn't help shrinking her neck, of course she understood what her husband said.Jing Lan is just a child they picked up at the door early in the morning when they opened a tofu workshop in Shanyang Town 13 years ago.Back then, she and Lin Gensheng had no children for three years after they got married, and the two were very eager to have a child.Coincidentally, it was just March at that time. On the day before the Shangsi Festival, Xie got up early and opened the door. He found a bamboo basket at the door of his tofu workshop. Inside the basket was a small bag of floral cloth with a red background. , there is a sleeping baby in the small bundle.This little baby is the first child of the couple, the eldest daughter Jing Lan.The reason why the child was named Jing Lan was because there was half a mutton fat jade pendant in the bundle, with the word Jing Lan engraved on it.

The couple thought the name was nice, so they named the baby girl Lin Jinglan.

After adopting Jinglan, three years later, the Xie family gave birth to a boy named Lin Jingshan, and two years later, a girl named Lin Jingguo was born.

At that time, Xie's parents-in-law were still alive, and the family made money by opening a tofu workshop in Shanyang Town. Her father-in-law went to Qingxi Village to buy four acres of paddy fields and three acres of mulberry fields, which were first rented out to farmers.Unexpectedly, his father-in-law was coaxed to go to the gambling shop to gamble, and he lost the tofu workshop, and he himself died of anger.The Lin family couldn't stay in Shanyang Town, so they had to move to Qingxi Village to work as farmers.

From a small tofu vendor to a farmer, it took several years for Lin Gensheng and Xie to plant the crops and learn how to raise silkworms.

Fortunately, as a farmer, as long as you work hard, although your life is not rich, you can work from sunrise to sunset, and live a stable life, which is pretty good.What's more, Qingxi Village, located at the foot of Qixia Mountain, has green mountains, green waters, and beautiful scenery. Even those rich people in the city would come here to build other courtyards. The Lin family lived here and became farmers with peace of mind.

The child he picked up was still a daughter. Of course, in Lin Gensheng's heart, he was not as important as his own son, Ah Shan.

Mrs. Xie believed that her husband should also understand that Steward Fan wanted his daughter to be a slave in the Shen family. It was not the aunt of the Shen family who meant it, but the treacherous Steward Fan who was over forty years old with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.Steward Fan was probably planning on his daughter, so he made such a request. When she thought of her daughter falling into the hands of Steward Fan after she became a slave in the Shen family, Mrs. Xie shuddered and wanted to cry.
