The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 540 Appeasement

"Second Prince..." Mu Yangling thought about it seriously, but found that this person was only a vague figure in her impression, and she didn't expect to be able to do such a thing as forcing the palace.

"Let people continue to pay attention. If there is any news from the general and fourth master, they should send it back as soon as possible."

Baili responded and asked, "Fourth grandma, do you want to tell the general and fourth master our address so that they won't worry."

Mu Yangling thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, contact us when our matter fades away, it's still too dangerous now, by the way, how many family members are missing?"

Baili said in shame: "I don't know if it's the news of the imperial court's closure, or this place is too backward, we can't get any news about it."

"It's just for people to pay attention, don't worry too much about it. It's very late today, tomorrow you ask Chen Ming to find the village chief and Li Zheng, we will stay here for a long time, and try our best to build a good relationship with them. "

Baili should go down.

The village head and Li Zheng had already prepared, and they came almost as soon as Chen Ming invited them.

This is a remote and impoverished small mountain village. The wealthiest family in the village has three green brick and tile houses - left by their ancestors, with 60 acres of land - left by their ancestors. As a result, the Zhu family bought it not far from the village a year ago. They bought more than a hundred acres of wasteland and asked people to open up wasteland for farming. They also bought a hill in the village and built a big yard on it. Even the yard was made of blue bricks, which was very grand.

But the village head and Li Zheng were not very happy. They were afraid that Zhu Jia would be bullied by the villagers. Among other things, Zhu Jia was really willing to only cultivate the 100 acres of wasteland?

When they gain a firm foothold in the village, they may have to buy land from the villagers.

Although Li Zheng and the village chief have little experience, they have heard and seen some of the tricks commonly used by landlords. Some deceive people into owed money, and then charge high interest, forcing people to sell their land, and even seduce The officials above directly turned the fields into wasteland, and then into their land...

As soon as the two of them thought about all kinds of means, they would shudder, so they really wanted to see what kind of temperament the Zhu family had. If it was really bad, they should inform the villagers early to stay away from them.

It is impossible for Li Jinghua to come out to meet the two of them. She thinks it is enough for Chen Ming to meet them. The village chief and Li Zheng are strangers after all, but Mu Yangling grew up in the countryside and has no taboos about these things. relationship, so I came out to meet people in person.

The village chief and Lizheng saw a woman coming out, and they frowned slightly. Mu Yangling smiled and said, "This is the village chief and Lizheng, right? I am the fourth grandma of the Zhu family. Our uncle and fourth master are still in Beijing Land, you have to arrange things before you come back."

Because they wanted to avoid the court's eyes and ears, they changed Qi to Zhu. Anyway, Qi Xiuyuan's mother's surname was Zhu.

Li Zheng's expression softened a little when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of life the Zhu family and the fourth master are doing? What, why do you want to settle in our small place?"

"Our uncle and fourth master were doing some small business in the north, and we could barely make ends meet. Now that the war is raging, we can't stay in the north anymore, so we sent us and our children back first. It's also because we are destined, we are alone My cousin's natal family is near here, and I was going to go to their village, and the fields have been bought, but the Taoist priest invited by our fourth master passed by here, saying that the mountains here are good and good for health, and our children are not in good health. Weak, so the uncle and the fourth master temporarily decided to build their home here."

Li Zheng was shocked, and asked, "So the Zhu family has land in the village?"

Mu Yangling smiled and nodded, "There are one or two hundred acres, not much, and they are all under the management of the village head."

"Then why are you still buying wasteland in our village?"

"Since we are building a house here, we can't justify it if we don't buy some wasteland. Moreover, it will be convenient for us to plant something near here."

Li Zheng and the village head looked at each other, and they were both a little silent. Mu Yangling knew what they were thinking, but what she said and what she did at this time were superfluous, so she smiled and said: "Now our family, women and children, are here alone, please The village chief and Li Zheng are taking care of them, and if the village has any difficulties in the future, they can tell our family, and we will lend a hand to those who can help."

Li Zheng and the village head were begging them not to reach out, so how could they dare to come to their door, so they just bowed and declined politely.

Mu Yangling didn't force it, and asked Chen Ming to greet them after saying a few words.

Li Zheng and the village head were busy asking Chen Ming who the cousin of the Zhu family was. Although they might not be from the same village, they could be from the same township. .

The cousin Mu Yangling mentioned was the sister-in-law of Mr. Liu's wife. In terms of identity, the Zhu family and Mr. Liu had a relationship that could be reached with five poles, and then involved the relationship with the cousin who could not be reached with eight poles. .

Li Zheng and the village head were full of mosquito coils when they heard Chen Ming finish counting the relatives who had turned more than 18 turns, and their hearts turned cold. They could only hope that Zhu's family was a kind family, and don't bully them poor people.

Li Jinghua and Mu Yangling didn't go out all the time, and all the purchases such as buying vegetables and meat were handed over to Chen Ming. The other servants were also arranged by Li Jinghua in an orderly manner. Although the quality of life had dropped a lot, fortunately they were out of danger.

Mu Yangling organized the guards into three shifts and set up defenses inside and outside the yard. As long as there was any change, they would be able to find out that the whole yard was airtight by her before anyone entered the village.

Li Jinghua has seen the defense map drawn by Mu Yangling on paper. Although she can't understand it, she also knows that the courtyard is arranged by Mu Yangling, which improves the safety a lot. At least the outer courtyard is under their sight. , no one can get past the guards and enter the inner courtyard.

Li Jinghua admired, "Are you talented, or have you learned it?"

Mu Yangling didn't dare to say that he had learned it in his previous life, but said: "It's half a talent, and I also learned it from Haoran."

Li Jinghua nodded, no wonder he played so well with Qi Haoran.

"Mother, auntie," Little Treasure rushed over, hugged Li Jinghua's hand and said, "Go play, go play."

Mu Yangling reached out and touched his pale face, and asked, "Have you eaten the porridge I made for you?"

"Eat," Xiao Bao said, "It's delicious, better than milk."

"Your face is still a little pale, sister-in-law, let the doctor make some adjustments for Wang Momo later, write some medicinal recipes, eat health-preserving porridge, and have a lot of milk."

Li Jinghua nodded, patted his son's head, turned to look at the little bear on the couch beside him who was twisting his body to eat his legs, and said: "Xiaobao's body is still too weak, obviously the little bear is younger than him, so he only needs to rest. He regained his energy overnight, but he is still pale."

It was also premature, but Cub was very healthy, but her son was congenitally deficient and weak. Thinking that she might only have this son in her whole life, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Mu Yangling hurriedly said: "The child is still young, and he will get better after taking care of it slowly. The doctor also said that Xiaobao's health has improved a lot."

Li Jinghua nodded slightly, patted his son's head and got up and said, "Let's go, Xiaobao, mother will take you out to play."

Little Treasure looked eagerly at his younger brother on the couch, and Li Jinghua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't leave your younger brother behind." She asked the wet nurse to pick up the little bear and go to the yard to play together.

Seeing that he could go out, the little bear jumped happily into the nurse's arms twice, and leaned his whole body out, as if he had been locked up for ten or eight years before being released. Li Jinghua was amused by that eager look. He and Mu Yangling laughed straight.
