The general's mansion is down and out?It doesn't matter, madam will make a move

Chapter 87
Su Jian's eyelids have been twitching since she woke up early in the morning.She looked in the direction of the gate of the yard. Yesterday she assigned Xiong Da to spray the wheat with powdery mildew. Today, she will see the results.It should be able to find something, if not, then you can try again today, at the latest tomorrow, there should be results.

"Maybe I should go in person?" Su Jian is actually very confident in herself. The only worry is that there are not enough raw materials here, and she always has to find something else to substitute, which makes her a little worried about the experimental results.

"Dengdengdeng..."

There was a sound of footsteps.

Xiong Er hurriedly appeared at the gate of the yard. Seeing Su Jian looking at him, he straightened up his posture and walked in.Usually when he saw Su Jian, he would look around, wondering if he could see Xionghong, but this time, he didn't have the mood to look around.

"Madam..." Xiong Er saluted.

It wasn't Xiong Da who came back in person, and looking at Xiong Er's face, it didn't look like he brought back good news: "But what happened?"

Xiong Er's heart throbbed, and he said, "Ma'am, the wheat in the wheat field that Xiong Da sprayed yesterday is all dead."

Su Jian's eyes darkened, are they all dead?How could this be the result!

Xiong Er saw Su Jian's complexion darkened, thought for a while, and said in relief: "Ma'am, don't worry too much, no one is perfect, Madam is already very good, occasionally making mistakes, it's nothing."

Su Jian glanced at Xiong Er sharply, and got up straight away: "Go and have a look."

Su Jian said to go and have a look, just to see it with her own eyes.When she rushed to the land, there were many people around the land, almost all of whom were farmers from the village.

When the farmers saw Su Jian appearing, they had different expressions.

Xiong Da walked to Su Jian's side with a serious face, and when he saluted and opened his mouth, his words were full of guilt.Su Jian is gradually not bothering with the things that Su Jian told him now. It is obvious that he trusts him and gives him rights, but this time, he messed up things.

Su Jian glanced at Xiong Da, and then she jumped off the ridge to check the wheat.

Could it be that the pesticide she formulated is really problematic?
After Su Jian inspected a few places of wheat, her heart sank, her complexion became more gloomy visible to the naked eye, and even the temperature in her eyes disappeared.

"Where are Zheng and Tie Niu in the village?"

Village Zheng and Tieniu rushed out, jumped off the field ridge, and walked to Su Jian's side.

"Have you seen this wheat field?" Su Jian looked sideways at Zheng and Tieniu in the village. They claim to be the best farmers in this village. She doesn't believe that they couldn't see the obvious reason why the wheat died. , If you can't see it...then they don't have the ability to be the masters of the farming team.

Tie Niu's complexion was extremely complicated. He picked up a stalk of wheat on the ground and said with heavy eyes, "The wheat on the whole land suddenly lost its vitality. There is indeed a problem."

"Isn't there a problem? The wheat was fine yesterday, but after using the madam's medicine, the wheat died." As soon as the peasant woman opened her mouth, she shrank when she received Xiong Da's warning gaze, but she still had the courage He opened the mouth and said, "The general's wife is the official's wife, so we ordinary people are naturally afraid to do anything, but this is the truth. I believe the big guy thinks the same way."

Su Jian glanced at the speaker with deep eyes, then continued to look at Tieniu: "What's the problem?"

The villager Zheng and Tieniu looked at each other, they had doubts in their hearts, but they were not sure.

Tieniu hesitated for a while, seeing that Su Jian was still looking at him, he boldly said: "This wheat doesn't seem to be killed by medicine, but it seems artificial."

Su Jian looked at Tieniu, and her mood finally eased a little. The masters she hired in the farming class must have some skills, so she can safely let them teach the people in the general's mansion to farm.

"Where's Li Zheng? What do you think?"

"My opinion is the same as that of Iron Bull," said the villager.

"Tsk! Tieniu and Uncle Lizheng have just become the wives of the general's mansion, so they don't know where they are from and where their roots are. They are talking nonsense with their eyes open, helping the general's wife to cover up her fault. Is it?" the peasant woman asked anxiously.

Su Jian glanced at the speaking peasant woman, seeing that the peasant woman shut up and hid behind Er Gou, she sneered.

"Uncle Lizheng, please go and gather the people in the village, it's best for all of you to attend."

The villagers were surprised and couldn't figure out Su Jian's intentions. If there was a problem in the wheat field and they couldn't solve it, what would they do with the whole village?But Su Jian ordered, and he had to do it.

Seeing that the village was leaving, Su Jian asked Xiong Er to take care of the fields, then summoned Xiong Da, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The peasant woman and Ergou couldn't figure out Su Jian's intentions. Seeing that Su Jian didn't speak or act for a long time, could it be that they wanted to ignore their words and rely on the compensation from the wheat field?

The peasant woman was flustered. If Su Jian did not compensate, she would have nothing to do with Su Jian. After all, Su Jian was the wife of an official, and she was just a commoner.

The peasant woman pulled Ergou and knelt down, and her voice was much higher than before: "Madam, please do me a favor. We are a poor family, and the whole family depends on this piece of wheat to live. Now the wheat is ruined." , we just have no way out!"

Su Jian looked at the speaking peasant woman with a condensed expression. At the beginning, the peasant woman spoke very strongly, but now she suddenly softened her tone... Is she starting to play the emotional card?
"Madam is the general's wife! If Madam is unwilling to give us justice, we have no choice but to watch and wait for death. But..." The peasant woman felt sad, looked around, and saw a hoe in the hands of a farmer , she got up in a hurry, and grabbed the hoe when everyone was not paying attention: "Early death is death, and late death is death, why bother to live for a few more days and suffer!"

"The Ergou family can't do it."

"Ergou, stop your mother-in-law quickly!"

……

Su Jian's face turned serious, watching the peasant woman's actions, is the peasant woman planning to kill her?The people around were obviously shocked by Ergou's wife's behavior, and she quickly looked at Xiong Er.

Xiong Er understood, didn't say much, just quietly walked towards the woman.

"How much do you want me to compensate you?" Su Jian didn't want to have an accident before the matter was resolved.

The movement of the peasant woman's hands paused, and joy flashed in her eyes. This trick is effective!She turned around and looked at Su Jian. Originally, she only wanted Su Jian to pay a tael of silver, but now she should be in the upper hand. In this way, she can ask for more.And... since she has already done the beginning, she doesn't mind going to the end.

"Five taels of silver!"

After the peasant woman finished speaking, there was a faint gasp from around.

Su Jian frowned, and the sarcasm in his eyes became even more serious: "Mr. Tieniu, if there is a good harvest in this piece of wheat field, how much can you get if you exchange the wheat for money?"

Tie Niu looked at the peasant woman reproachfully, and when he glanced at Er Gou, his eyes were filled with disappointment: "According to the best market conditions, a catty of wheat costs only eight cents, and this piece of wheat... even if it is a good harvest , It’s only a hundred catties, and it can be exchanged for money at most eight hundred Wen.”

"That's right, for the wheat that costs less than one tael, Ergou's family actually asks for five taels of silver."

"And...they were the ones who begged the general's wife to help manage the wheat."

"Could it be that you made up your mind to ask the general's wife to compensate you from the very beginning?"

"It's just helping out. My wife doesn't need to pay compensation, but Ergou's family is really in a difficult situation. If they don't pay compensation at all, they might really be forced to death."

……

The sound of everyone's conversations came from Su Jian's ears one after another, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated a little.Fortunately... not everyone is blind and unreasonable, and they don't have the idea that whoever is weak and who is reasonable.

The peasant woman saw that everyone was talking about each other, that there were fewer and fewer people who comforted her, and that she hadn't received a response from Su Jian for a long time...

"Ma'am...you are the general's wife! You definitely don't care about five taels of silver, right?"
