Ding Baocheng: "Brother Kong, I..."

He didn't have time to finish his words, because Kong Mingfan held him tightly in his arms.

"What's wrong? There are so many people watching." Ding Baocheng reminded him in a low voice as he looked at the crowd around him.

Kong Mingfan let go of Ding Baocheng, his eyes were a little red.

"What are you buying these for?" He gave Ding Baocheng a hard look, then took off the basket that was bigger than half of his body, and carried it on his back: "Give it to me."

"It's heavy...you can't carry it..." Ding Baocheng saw that Kong Mingfan was carrying the basket of things without any pressure, and he didn't look like a seriously ill person at all, so he didn't say anything more, and seeing that his face was extremely cold, he had to test Said: "Are you angry?"

Kong Mingfan frowned and stared at him for a moment, the corners of his lips twitched, he couldn't help but take his hand and walked back: "Forget it, I'll settle the score with you when I go back."

Ding Baocheng swallowed his saliva and walked back, being threatened... a little scared.

After all, although Kong Mingfan has always been very cold, he just sneaked away for half an hour without telling him, so he wouldn't be so vicious.

Ding Baocheng: "That...don't wait for Xiao Fuzi and the others?"

Kong Mingfan glanced coldly at Ding Baocheng: "No need."

The air pressure of Kong Mingfan was extremely low along the way, and Ding Baocheng was a little panicked, so he silently followed behind him and dared not speak.

When he arrived at the mansion, Ding Baocheng had just been led by Kong Mingfan into the front yard when he saw several people standing under the porch.

It turned out that it was the Jin family who brought two servants, and there was also a butler Feng with snake eyebrows and mouse eyes.

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Jin turned her head and squinted at Ding Baocheng and Kong Mingfan holding hands tightly with fox-like shrewd eyes, and said domineeringly, "Hey, who is Mingfan with, oh! Married uncle and seduced My nephew's Ding family's great treasure, you are back, let us wait. Mingfan, it's not that your sister-in-law is talking about you, it's not that you just got married, and although the wedding is fruitful, your health is not good, so you still go out to let the wind go? Aren't you afraid of getting sicker and sicker?"

Ding Baocheng became annoyed when he saw the way he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and said to himself: Is this for lip service?

Kong Mingfan frowned, holding back his anger, walked past the stone tablet in the court, and came to him, and said coldly, "Mingfan's body is not a bother for brother-in-law, it's just that this is my own place, and I need to notify others when they come. It's not proper for sister-in-law to enter the door so silently."

Jin's face was a little restless, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I came today to tell you that your tenants in Qingmei Town have not paid rent for two years, and now they have run away and have nothing to say. My master is kind enough to help you, I don’t raise useless people who eat for free. If you want to continue to get food from my family, you have to pay the rent of this one-third of an acre of land with interest.”

"How much?" Kong Mingfan blushed, he was not very good at handling the money and accounts, he just wanted to get rid of it quickly.

"The yield of your land is low in the first place, three crops in two years, that is, three hundred catties a year, the labor cost is 800 copper coins, and the harvesting cost is 200 copper coins, which counts as ten taels of silver for you." Jin tapped the golden abacus: "The rice you have taken from me in the past two years is not only 2 catties but also 2000. Once the rice is calculated as the lowest price of 1500 tael for you, round it up, you can give it 1 taels, lest others say that my brother and sister-in-law are unreasonable."

150 two?

Kong Mingfan's face darkened when he heard the words, even if he didn't care about money often, he knew it was cheating him, not to mention that Qingmei Town was located in a remote place, and the tenants nearby only charged fifty copper coins a month.

The sky-high asking price is obviously to see that he is easy to bully. The Jin family negotiated with the tenant farmers who paid the rent with grain to cheat people.

Kong Mingfan divided the two mu of land when the family was separated, because it was not easy for the tenant farmer to drag the family and take the children away, so he rented the land to them at a low price, and agreed to give the rent to Kong Minghui, and then Kong Ming Banner took grain from Kong Minghui.

It was originally agreed to pay the money once a year, but unexpectedly, the tenant farmer has been procrastinating, and Kong Mingfan, a frail scholar, has no choice but to go to the countryside to urge him.

Now the tenant farmers ran away with the money against their conscience, which led to the food that Kong Mingfan ate for the past two years was allotted from the Jin family for nothing.

Now they have to give so much money temporarily... Kong Mingfan has made a mistake.

Kong Mingfan blushed slightly: "I don't know if my brother and sister-in-law can give me some time...there are not so many at present..."

Butler Feng snorted and said, "Master Mingfan, I'm afraid it won't work, you are a smug family who still takes medicine all day... Hehe, how long will you take it easy? One year, two years, or ten years? Not to mention that you haven't paid back If you can afford it, why don't you stop eating rice in the days to come?"

Mrs. Jin glanced at Steward Feng, and said approvingly: "Steward Feng is right. Our family is located in the middle of Qingcheng, and it is already prosperous. Not to mention the high prices, rice has always been in short supply, and the idle grain is stored. Prepare yourself, in case of a famine year, there will be no market. Our family does not have so much money to support idlers..."

Kong Mingfan tightly grasped the shoulder of Ding Baocheng, who was about to step forward to fight, and said with a smile on his face, "I heard that brother and sister-in-law are here to force me to move today, right?"

Jin smirked, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became extremely ferocious: "You said that, didn't I do it for you? You see that you have married a beautiful young man, and it has spread in this town, coveting his beauty I’m afraid he won’t be able to control the feasting and feasting, and it will embarrass you. It’s better to be in the countryside, with simple folk customs, which suits you..."

Kong Mingfan stepped forward and stared at Jin Shi closely. He was taller than the pretentious Jin Shi by a full head.

For a while, both Jin Shi and Steward Feng were silent and dared not speak any more.

Kong Mingfan gritted his teeth and stared down at Jin and Butler Feng, his sharp mandible moved, and said coldly: "Say I can, say he can't."

Jin snorted, but didn't dare to say more when Kong Mingfan glared at him angrily. He took a step back and said in a low voice: "It's only natural for you to pay back your debts, and I can reason with you anywhere!"

Kong Mingfan said: "I will offer the silver in three days, get out."
