Parents are busy farming

Chapter 171 Asking for Marriage

After sending her parents away, Ye Zifen went to find some long-term workers.

"The corn seedlings in the twenty acres of land have already sprouted. I took a look and found that there is no shortage of seedlings. Uncle Li, I have already cultivated the watermelon seedlings. Why don't you hire some day laborers to plant the seedlings?"

As soon as Lao Li heard what Ye Zifen said, he immediately said: "Okay, I will hire someone today and water the ground tomorrow. I should be able to plant watermelons in a few days!"

Ye Zifen said to the remaining two people: "There are two jobs now. One is to go to the village with me to collect rent, and the other is to fork the cotton. You two will discuss it and see how to divide the labor. ?”

After the two long-term workers discussed it, the tall one said to Ye Zifen: "Miss, you and I will go collect the rent, and Cui Hai will go collect the cotton."

Ye Zifen asked casually: "What's your name?"

The last meeting was in a hurry, and Zi Zifen forgot to ask. The two of them were nervous when they saw Zi Zifen and forgot to introduce themselves.

The tall man immediately said: "My name is Lu Dahe!"

After hearing this, Zi Zifen nodded, "Okay! Just hit up the ox cart and go with me tomorrow morning."

After telling them, Ye Zifen wanted to leave, but then Li Daniu walked up to Lao Li with an anxious look on his face.

Ye Zifen saw it and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

An embarrassed look immediately appeared on Li Daniu's face.

Ye Zifen thought they were short of money and asked, "How much money do you need? I'll just give it to you first!"

When Lao Li and Li Daniu heard this, they quickly waved their hands. Lao Li saw that his son was anxious and spoke for him.

"Fifth Miss, it's like this. My boss has taken a liking to Manager Luo and wants to ask you to marry her." After Lao Li finished speaking, he looked at Ye Zifen hopefully.

Ye Zifen was surprised and relieved when she thought about the age of the two of them.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lao Li was very frightened and his heart skipped a beat.

Li Daniu even knelt on the ground: "If Miss Fifth doesn't trust me, I will sell myself and I will never do anything to disgrace my master's family!"

Ye Zifen quickly helped him up, "You don't have to sell yourself. Even if it's Guanshi Luo, when she turns eighteen, I have to return the deed of betrayal to her. As for your request to marry her, I need to ask her for her opinion."

Li Daniu felt relieved.

Ye Zifen added: "However, if you want to get married to her, you need to wait until she is eighteen years old. This... can you wait?"

Ye Zifen wanted to test Li Daniu for Luo Keren. After all, what Luo Keren experienced was too tragic.

After Li Daniu said sorry to Lao Li, he agreed to Ye Zifen's request.

Ye Zifen said with a smile: "I'll help you go back and ask Keren what you mean. If Keren agrees, I have no objection."

Thank you very much to Lao Li and Li Daniu.

When Ye Zifen returned home, she immediately went to the backyard.

The girls in the backyard were busy with their work. Luo Keren and two girls were dyeing cloth.

Ye Zifen walked up and took a look. She had to say that now she dyed the cloth more evenly than herself.

The color is also good, but it seems that she still has to pay more for it!

The efficiency of producing cloth in the backyard is getting higher and higher. Two days ago, Second Young Master Qian came to pick up the cloth. When he saw the cloth, his lips almost reached the back of his head.

When Luo Keren could finally rest, Ye Zifen called her to the front yard.

"Do you have any instructions for Miss Fifth?" Luo Keren asked after bowing.

"I don't know if this is a good thing or not. Let me ask your opinion. Li Daniu, you know, right?" Zi Zifen asked.

Luo Keren nodded, "I know!"

Ye Zifen faked a cough and said, "Li Daniu came to beg me today and said he wanted to marry you. What do you think of him?"

Luo Keren was suddenly stunned when he heard Ye Zifen's words, "Li Daniu wants to marry me?"

Ye Zifen nodded.

After being shocked, Luo Keren said matter-of-factly: "I am a slave now, shouldn't it be up to you, Miss, to decide this matter?"

The marriage of slaves and maids is often decided by your master, and Luo Keren was not wrong.

Ye Zifen immediately rolled his eyes at her, "I will restore you to good status when you are eighteen years old. Marrying a woman is equivalent to a second reincarnation. I can't let you scold me behind my back after you get married! "

When Luo Keren heard what Miss Wu said, he asked directly: "He and I met on the day the master came back, and we don't know anything else!"

Zi Zifen said: "This year his family has just renovated a house, and the conditions are as they are in front of you. If you are not worried, I will give you a day off, and you can go and have a look. In addition, if you don't want to leave after the wedding party, just continue to stay here." Be in charge of me here, I can’t bear to let you go now anyway.”

When Luo Keren heard this, his eyes lit up.

Ye Zifen continued: "Of course, the premise of all this is that you can like Li Daniu. If you don't, just tell me directly. It depends on your own wishes. You can contact him first."

Luo Keren nodded after hearing this.

Ye Zifen then said: "I plan to take you and Li Daniu to Zhuangzi. When you get to Zhuangzi, you must keep an eye on these girls. Don't know if anything happens to them?"

Luo Keren nodded quickly upon hearing this.

She knew that Zhuangzi was near Luojia Village and belonged to the Fu family.

Ever since the young lady asked her to wait, she had been staring at the Fu family. When she saw the young lady chewing a piece of meat from them, she felt happy.

As long as the Fu family is having a hard time, she will be happy.

Early the next morning, Ye Zifen and Lu Dahe went to Zhuangzi.

There is no wheat left in the field, but traces can still be seen in the burned area.

After Ye Zifen arrived, the two families whose wheat had been burned rushed over. They must have been watching the activities on Zhuangzi!

When he saw Ye Zifenhou, he knelt down to her.

Ye Zifen knew why they came and asked them to get up directly, "Please help me inform the tenant farmers that our family will start collecting rent today. After collecting the rent, you can take away the wheat that should be compensated for you, okay?"

The two families nodded immediately, "Okay... okay!"

As long as the owner really compensates them, they will feel relieved. These days, they are always worried at home.

Then came the busy time. The tenants brought the rented goods in carts and carts. Lu Dahe weighed and Ye Zifen counted.

It took me two busy days to get it out.

After getting it out, Ye Zifen immediately asked the two families to take away the wheat.

The Yamen also received news from Ye Zifen and came to collect tax grains.

Seeing familiar people, Ye Zifen personally cooked to entertain them.

"Fifth girl, we really miss your cooking skills!" Liu Yamen said with a smile.

"Eat more if you like it, it's enough!" Ye Zifen said openly, and made more today.

Then he saw them fighting over each other to eat, which made Lu Dahe's eyes widen.

When weighing the wheat, Liu Yamen revealed to her: "Those bandits have all confessed. Mr. Fu can't stay in jail any longer. I guess someone from his family is going to look for you soon."

Ye Zifen laughed when she heard this and said to Liu Yamen: "Thank you!"

Then he asked: "What are you going to do with those bandits?"

Liu Yamen looked at the people around him who were busy, and then whispered: "They confessed a big shot. Now they can't do anything about him just based on their confession. The county magistrate and Master Dianshi are looking for new evidence."

Ye Zifen nodded upon hearing this, thinking of what her master Meng Hongzhou said about the Yuanhang Escort Agency, and planned to go over there and give her brother-in-law a heads up.
