After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Chapter 16: Re-election of the Village Head

Ye Daqiang came here from Jiangnan five years ago. He is a tenant of this farm. It is said that his ancestors had some assets, but they fell into decline in his generation!

When he was young, he read a few years of books and learned martial arts. He has some abilities and a strong sense of justice. No matter which family in the village is in trouble, he will try his best to lend a helping hand!

His four sons were also well-educated and very capable. They rented more than ten acres of land in the farm. They usually farmed and occasionally helped out families who had little labor!

He is the only one in the village who pays rent normally, because this family is united and not easy to mess with, and Sumahu doesn't want to get into trouble!

If such a person governs the village, the tenants will be convinced and it will be easy to manage!

This information was the conclusion Qin Wenwu came to after chatting with the tenant farmers in the village!

After Ye Daqiang came over, Su Qingling confirmed again that the family with the most strong laborers last night was his!

Ye Daqiang is tall and strong, in his early forties. His skin is a healthy bronze color due to years of wind and sun. He has thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, and looks very upright!

"My boss is well!"

Ye Daqiang bowed, looked down, and had a perfect smile on his face!

He is a polite person!

Su Qingling felt it was okay, so he nodded slightly and asked Ye Daqiang to sit down, then he said slowly:

"Uncle Ye, if I want to hire someone to help manage the farm, I wonder if Uncle Ye is willing to take on this responsibility?"

Ye Daqiang didn't seem too surprised. He just thought for a moment and then said:

"Boss, to be honest, if you hadn't taken these steps, I would never have considered it. Now that you've gotten rid of that family, we're willing to give it a try!"

Seeing Ye Da so happy, Qin Qingling and his second brother looked at each other, and a heavy stone in their hearts was finally put down!

Qin Qingling said, "Uncle Ye, from now on, you will take over. You will set up a new account. In addition to the existing money in the manor, if you need anything, I will leave the manor and you can take my name card to find Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, Qin Wenwu, and the girls around me!"

Ye Da responded loudly and told some details. Su Qingling asked Chunlan to give him ten taels of silver. Ye Da waved his hand and said:

"Boss, I can't be so shallow. I took your money before I did anything for you. If I tell others about it, I can't afford to lose face!"

Su Qingling had no choice but to give up. After Ye Da left, Su Lijie saw that things were almost done, so he took the soldiers back to the city. Seven or eight people went back to take up duty early in the morning, and they had to go back and replace the people who replaced them!

Dongmei had already made some fried crispy snacks and osmanthus cakes for everyone, and then asked Wang Jie to distribute them one by one!

Su Qingling thought about it, and then told his second brother:

"Second brother, it's inconvenient for me to go out alone. If you have time, please help me find the girls who were sold by Ma Hu and his son. Their being sold has a lot to do with my lack of discipline. If you can rescue them, it can be considered as paying off some of my bad karma!"

After instructing each other on everything, the brother and sister said goodbye reluctantly!

After this was done, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Dongmei didn't seem as cheerful as before. After cooking, she sat there listlessly in a daze!

Chunlan was very careful. After dinner, she saw Dongmei sitting outside the door in a daze, so she asked:

"What's wrong with our little foodie today? Is he homesick?"

Dongmei raised her eyelids listlessly, then lowered her head and said:

"What are you talking about, Sister Chunlan? Wherever our Young Madam is, that's our home. Anyway, no one in the Marquis' Mansion cares about the Young Madam. We can be more sober here!"

Xia He continued:

"Our Dongmei looks like a greedy person, but she is actually the most sober one among us. What she said is so sharp!"

Dongmei became lively again when she heard this. She raised her chin, a proud look appeared on her face, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with joy:

"Of course not. Don't call me a foodie anymore. I have a heart as clear as a mirror!"

Su Qingling listened to the three people bickering, and a bit of warmth appeared in his eyes. Fortunately, you are all still here, so everything can be planned in advance!

As for Nanny Zhou, she watched the big show during the day and was very pleased with her young lady's decisiveness.

Although the two of them did not seem anything special to others, she understood from the young lady's unintentional little gesture that she was just waiting and watching!

He ate the rough noodle porridge calmly and cleaned the house!

Nanny Zhou simply washed it with warm water, then spread out the sun-dried bedding and lay down on it!

The fatigue of the day seems to be relieved!

Over the past year, Ye Daqiang's family watched her being alone and helpless, and provided her with rice and flour from time to time.

She didn't want to receive such a favor for nothing, and seeing that the family didn't even have a housewife to take care of the household, she visited the family as often as possible every day!

I helped this family with sewing, washing and cleaning, so that they wouldn’t starve to death!

Ever since Qiuju admitted her mistake last night, Nanny Zhou didn't target her and was just lukewarm. Qiuju felt uneasy and didn't know how to relieve it!

There was such a big commotion in the farm today that Qiuju was frightened to death.

She could not have imagined that the young mistress, who usually never even spoke loudly in front of her mother-in-law, would become so furious and deal with the Ma Hu family in a swift and decisive manner!

He also readjusted the rent for the tenants, which even alarmed the second young master who hadn't been in contact for three years!

Qiuju was trembling with fear. She felt that the situation in the Marquis' Mansion was about to change. The timid young mistress was completely different from before!

The scene of the family of four being caned is still vivid in my mind.

The bloody corpses shocked her so much that she didn't even have dinner!

She always felt that if she continued to be so two-faced, she would be the next one to be caned!

Qiuju was in a daze the whole day. The result of not eating was that she felt weak and dizzy!

I lay down to sleep, but I just couldn't fall asleep!

In the middle of the night, Qiu Ju could no longer bear the tossing and turning, and suddenly sat up and was about to go out, but Nanny Zhou grabbed her in the dark and scolded her:

"Qiu Ju, why are you so hysterical in the middle of the night? It's dark outside, and you might fall. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Qiu Ju murmured in the darkness:

"Madame Zhou, I will go and clear your name tomorrow morning. You will still be the Madam's Madam from now on!"

Something unexpected happened to Su Qingling as well.

Xia He was on duty for the first half of the night, while Chunlan and Dongmei rested next door.

But in the middle of the night, Dongmei suddenly developed a high fever, she didn't open her eyes, and kept talking nonsense!

Fortunately, after Su Lijie returned to the city, he was worried about his sister's health, so he paid money to hire Doctor Qi from Huichuntang, and had someone sent to the farm to help prescribe medicine for her recovery, and told her to return to see patients after she got better!

Doctor Qi is a good doctor, but his fee is high. Su Lijie doesn't care, as long as he is good to his sister!

At this moment, Doctor Qi, who had just had a night meeting with Zhou Gong, was pulled out of his warm bed by Qin Wenwu. He put on his coat in a daze, and Qin Wenwu ran to the main courtyard carrying the medicine box!

After taking the little girl's pulse, Doctor Qi regained consciousness!
