Chapter 166: Helping in times of need
"Just because we agreed on 20%!" Niu Cuihua also got angry and threw away Niu Youfu's hand.
Niu Youfu felt aggrieved, but he was also a bully who was afraid of being bullied. Knowing that he was unreasonable, he really didn't dare to go back.
The village chief drove the villagers away, and then he said to Wei Laoqi in a good voice: "I didn't expect my old lady to be so impatient that she would make mischief with her elder brother without consulting me. I will apologize to you for them.
You can take this land back if you take it back. Now that we have spoken out, Niu Youfu will not touch your land again.
But what Sister Jinhua said about food? Niu Youfu's family originally had little land. In the past two years, his son has given birth to a grandson. The family is very poor. I'm afraid there is no surplus food to repay. However, after the autumn harvest, he really plowed the land carefully and helped you fertilize the land. Can this be done? Arrived? "
The village chief also knew that this request was a bit excessive, and he did not have the confidence to speak.
Wei Laoqi snorted coldly, not intending to answer this question.
Wei Yi and Wei Gong remained silent and did not respond.
The village chief glanced at Su Tai and Xu, whom he had never seen before, and felt very embarrassed.
When Liu Jinhua saw that it was almost done, he said slowly: "Village Chief, I also know that we came back suddenly, which is really a bit embarrassing, so my old man didn't hesitate to talk about the food. But Niu Blessed, he doesn't know what's interesting, and he's so confident, so I can't Bear with it! Today you are here and I will make it clear. If he dares to care about my family's land again or troubles my family, I will definitely go to the county government to file a complaint.
This kind of thing can be done even if it takes several years. After all, it is clearly written in the county government's account book, and he can't rely on it! "
The village chief's face turned pale, he wiped the sweat from his forehead in a panic, and kept apologizing like a grandson. It wasn't until Liu Jinhua lost his temper and let him go that he hurriedly left as if he had been granted amnesty.
As soon as the village chief left, Wei Yi and Wei Gang both looked at Liu Jinhua with admiration.
"Mom, you are really good! You were able to scare the village chief into silence with just two or three words. Look at this, they will definitely not dare to use any tricks in the future." Wei Yi was overjoyed.
Liu Jinhua laughed and shook her head, "I'm not that capable, so if you want to thank me, I'll thank Wife Shen Yi."
Wei Yi and others looked at Su Tai holding the child in surprise, as if they did not expect that Su Tai, who looked delicate and frail, had such great abilities.
Liu Jinhua said in a funny voice: "The second brother ran back to me and told me about the situation here. I was so anxious at that time, but Xiao Tai asked a few more questions and found the key question in no time.
She taught me twice, but I couldn't learn it. No, she and her second aunt accompanied me on a trip. I learned it more than a dozen times before I learned it fluently. "
Speaking of this, Liu Jinhua was amazed. When she heard Xu praise Su Tai before, she only exaggerated it at the time. It was not until she experienced it herself that she realized how capable Su Tai was. She also didn’t know how people’s brains grew. How could they be so smart?
Wei Laoqi understood the whole story and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Su Tai solemnly, "Shen Yi helped me a lot, and now you have done a big favor to my family. I really don't know how to thank you young couple. I will be there in the future." Whatever you do, just come to your door and our family will be at your disposal.”
Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, dodging a little, "Uncle Webber, there's no need to be polite to me, I'm just talking. I'm afraid you have a lot to do, so go get busy."
Wei Laoqi nodded and immediately called his two sons to borrow farm tools to dig the land.
Liu Jinhua returned home under the leadership of his second wife.
The group looked solemn when they saw the crumbling adobe house.
Mrs. Xu had a bad temper and was the first to shout: "This house has become a dangerous house. It will collapse if you don't pay attention. No one can live in it!"
Chen, who was guarding the house, heard this and thought deeply, "I thought so too. I was originally thinking about getting a house for my father-in-law and husband to live in for a few days, but now..."
Su Tai looked around the house and said, "Let's rebuild it. Call more people to work. We have to get the house up and running." "Yes, yes, that's the truth." Mrs. Xu agreed, saying: "If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some, and I will pay you back when you have enough money."
These words surprised both Su Tai and Liu Jinhua.
Before Liu Jinhua could figure it out, Wei Laoqi came back dejectedly, "We asked around the village and found that everyone is busy with spring plowing and there are no extra farm tools at all. I guess we need to buy new ones."
With that said, he took out the ten taels of silver given by Shen Yi in advance.
They did have farm tools before. After all, they could dig fields in the mountains, but those farm tools were almost broken. They had too much luggage this time, so they didn't take them out. Now they were in big trouble.
If they had known this was the case, they would have to bite the thing out with their teeth.
Su Tai looked at the mess of the Wei family, sighed slightly in her heart, and said aloud: "We still have extra farm tools, let's use them later, and we will talk about the rest later."
The Wei family owes Shen Yi and his wife more and more favors, and they are already ruined.
You have to beg for help no matter what, let's just beg for a family member, and work hard to pay it back later.
After making up his mind, Wei Laoqi took his two sons and followed Su Tai and the others back.
When they saw the hoe and rake given by Su Tai, the father and son became uneasy.
"Dad, these hoes and rakes are so exquisitely made! I wonder whose craftsmanship they are?" Wei Gang marveled.
Wei Laoqi was about to nod when he caught a glimpse of Su Tai winking at him from the corner of his eye. He immediately changed his mind and said with a red face, "Who else can it be?"
"Huh?" Wei Gong didn't react at first. When he saw his father's arrogant look, he jumped up in shock, "Dad! That's not how we brag! If you have this skill, we can The family is not so poor!”
"That's right, dad, don't blindly put money in your own face, it's inappropriate!" Wei Yi followed.
Wei Laoqi was originally just covering up the lies for Shen Yi and his wife. After hearing what his two sons said, he immediately felt the desire to win, "Huh! Believe it or not, I'll show you a few more later, and the bastard will be angry." I!"
Su Tai covered her face and snickered, and testified for Wei Laoqi at the right time, "It was really Uncle Weber who helped us, but this hoe, nail and rake was specially made at our request, and other things were added, which is more troublesome, Uncle Weber It’s not easy to take this kind of job.”
"Ah? Is he really my father?" Brother Wei Yi looked at each other in disbelief, but they were determined not to doubt Su Tai.
It's a complicated mood.
Wei Laoqi felt comfortable now and asked Su Tai for three hoes, three rakes, three sickles, and a woodcutter.
He asked secretly in private: "Daughter-in-law Shen Yi, how much money do you have here, please help me keep accounts first, and I will pay it back gradually after I earn the money."
"Uncle, take your time, don't be in a hurry."
There are about 10 taels of these things in total, and Wei Laoqi will be asked to help later, so she can give them away for free.
