Chapter 7

"The second thing is the ten acres of paddy fields behind me. I guess I have to study behind closed doors at home for the past two years. It's not good if there is no one to take care of this field, so I decided to borrow this field from the village. The grain produced It is used to support the orphans and widows in the village, what do you think?"

"Brother Yi wants to give the fields to the village?" Someone in the crowd asked the question.

"No, this field is still mine, but I don't want all the food grown. I donate it to the village. Whether it's helping orphans or widows in the village, or selling the food to build a school, I'm just asking. What do you think?"

"This is a good thing, but what should you do, Brother Yi, you can't stop eating and drinking."

"I joined hands with others to open a bookstore in the city, and now I don't lack money and food, so I just want to do something for the folks."

"Okay, Brother Yi is willing, and we can't refuse, this old man agrees." Patriarch Zhang stood up from the crowd.

"Leave this field to me, so as not to bother Brother Yi." Patriarch Zhang, the old man, was probably a little unhappy in his heart. He intended to give it to his second son under the pretext of buying the village's public land. Who knows This scholar, who is stupid in reading, disagrees.He left last night holding his stomach full of anger. He wanted to tell Yao Yi that no one in the village would make trouble for him today, but who knew that Yao Yi would come out this morning.

"It's better to let my second son take care of this field. The village will give you three or four guans every year. What do you think?" Patriarch Zhang asked with a smile.The money is not much, but Tian is not at a loss in the hands of his son.

The folks standing next to each other looked at each other without speaking.

"That's fine, but the annual harvest and usage have to be sorted out into an account book and announced. It's not that patriarch Zhang can't be trusted, but it's public land after all." Yao Yi said abruptly.

"It's too troublesome, and there are not many people in the village who can read and write, so it's unnecessary." Patriarch Zhang smiled unchanged.

"Didn't Brother Yi know?"

"Yeah, as long as Brother Yi understands."

"Brother Yi will never lie to us like so-and-so." Someone in the crowd was speaking eccentrically, and Patriarch Zhang's face was not good-looking at this time.

"I have another way here. I see that the children in the village have nothing to do all day long. Why don't I help find an accountant to teach them. There is no charge, and everyone can send the children here. This way, it will also be considered as a future for the children. There are multiple ways out, and secondly, the public accounts of the village will also be handed over to the children to keep accounts, what do you think?" Yao Yi went on to make up the knife.

Patriarch Zhang's face turned blue in a flash, and then turned red again, as if he had changed his face.Half of his family business is saved from public accounts, and now Yao Yi's hand not only prevents him from getting the land, but also cuts off his way of getting money.

"Okay, I think it's okay."

"Yeah, the children may be able to be accountants in the future."

"The most important thing is that the public accounts are clear, so that no one will take us for fools." It was this kind of yin and yang voice again, and I don't know who it is.

In fact, the village originally had some complaints about Patriarch Zhang, but usually no one took the lead, so the villagers endured it. Now that Yao Yi raised it, everyone naturally agreed.

Yao Yi still had that indifferent expression, and turned to look at Patriarch Zhang. The old guy was looking at him with a gloomy expression, with hatred in his eyes.Yao Yi showed a vague smile, and the old guy who noticed that Yao Yi was smiling trembled with anger.

Yao Yi curled his lips secretly. He was afraid of pissing off the old guy to death before, and the lesson is enough. After all, the old guy just wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, but if he comes again, don't blame Yao Yi.Yao Yi immediately stopped caring about him, found a few women, and gave them some money to manage tomorrow's banquet. The women patted their chests and said that there would be absolutely nothing wrong. After the matter was resolved, Yao Yi went back to make up for it feel.

At this time, in the Hu Mansion in Youyang County, Hu Su was telling his father what he saw at the door of the house yesterday.

"You mean that Yao Yi is interested in Miss Sheng's family?" Master Hu frowned. He still felt that the possibility was unlikely. Although Sheng's family had a strong reputation in Youyang and had good friendship with several county magistrates, no matter what Both are merchants' families, and Yao Yi has won the exam now, no matter what the official status is, he can't escape, the two families are really not the right family.

"How to explain the matter between men and women clearly, if Yuan Qian really looked down on the family of merchants, how could he make friends with me."

"It's not the same. Yao Yi doesn't say anything else now. The daughter of a fourth- and fifth-rank official family is still worthy of him. It will also help him in his future career. How can he be engaged to a merchant family? Even if he agrees now, if he regrets it in the future No, not only Miss Sheng's family is having a hard time, but she will also blame us." Master Hu shook his head.

"Father, Yuan Qian is not that kind of person." Hu Su said firmly, he believed in his own vision.

"That's all for you. The Sheng family is also considered to be a relative of my family. Your cousin married the daughter of the Sheng family, which makes sense. In this way, I will hold a family banquet in a few days, and let the Sheng family bring the Sheng family together. Girls come together, and you call Yao Yi too."

"Father wants to have a marriage proposal?"

"Well, no matter whether you agree or not, the face of both parties will be taken into account."

"It's still father who is thoughtful." Hu Su said happily, so that Yao Yi can be regarded as relatives with his family, and the relationship has become stronger.

Yao Yi, who was still recovering from sleep at this time, didn't know that he was slandered by Hu Su as a pervert who coveted the little loli just because he didn't make up a good reason to fool Hu Su.

"Father, what should we do?" Zhang Erlang asked anxiously, not allowing him to be in a hurry. This was originally his field, and Yao Yi would lose his share after a few tricks. If you are in a hurry, you have to farm. A few pennies, isn't that a big loss?

"Father shouldn't have said something to let Erlang plant it. It's only three or four times a year. What's enough?" The second daughter-in-law standing next to her complained.

"You two are so forgetful, what if I can do this for you? Now that it's all over, you're starting to complain about your father?" Patriarch Zhang was also full of resentment, seeing his son and daughter-in-law complaining Immediately yelled.

The second daughter-in-law was not happy and wanted to say something, but Zhang Erlang reluctantly shut up after pulling her away.

"Let's wait for the limelight to pass for the past two days before thinking of a solution." Patriarch Zhang said unwillingly.

"Can't you teach Yao Xiucai a lesson?" The second daughter-in-law of the Zhang family said unconvinced.

"He is a juror, so how can I teach him a lesson, but if he fails the exam in Beijing this time, he will be asked to blame me if he takes the exam next time, and I will deal with him at that time." Patriarch Zhang settled down.Zhang Erlang and his wife reluctantly stopped.
