Chapter 9 In Desperation

Spring to autumn.

In a blink of an eye.

Another year has passed.

During the 23 years of spring plowing in Qing'an, Li Tong's family finally let go and rented three acres of land along the river outside Qingshan County to Wei Tu and his wife.

However, in terms of renting, Li Tong did not let go at all. Like other tenants, he had to hand over [-]% of the grain harvested from the field.

Fortunately, the rent of the Li family included the land tax collected by the government, unlike other wealthy families, the land tax had to be paid by the tenants.

In other words.

Weitu planted three acres of land, and after excluding [-]% of the rent, the remaining [-]% was his own.

In addition, while growing wheat, soybeans can also be planted between the wheat seedlings.

This is another income increase.

Half a month before the wheat was ripe, master Li Yaozu brought Wei Tu, a servant, into the Fucheng together, and paid the eldest son Li Xingye the Shuxiu at the Fuxue Academy.

"The teaching instructions of the government school are really not a thing. Obviously, it takes about ten days to ripen the wheat. If you insist on this point, it is obvious that you want to collect more money..."

On the way, Li Yaozu rode on a horse and was led by Weitu to Fucheng. As he walked, he looked back at the mule cart behind him carrying grain, and then complained that this year's Shu Xiu was handed in too early, which made him lose money in vain.

Wei Tu remained silent, quietly listening to Li Yaozu's long and short sighs and talking to himself.

Per year.

Before harvesting grain.

After the harvest.

Food prices are two prices.

It seems to have paid the same amount of repairs, but because of the different prices of food, Fu Xue Academy can make a lot of money by reselling it at this time.

Wei Tu had heard these dirty things from Li Yaozu eight times, if not ten times, from Li Yaozu's mouth. He was already familiar with it.

"In another half a month, after the food harvest is finished, the money that is lacking will be saved enough."

"The only thing left is to persuade Li Yaozu and Li Tongshi to redeem the deed."

Wei Tu thought to himself.

It was similar to the plan, after more than a year of frugality, the money in his hand was not much less than ten taels of redemption silver.

Now, all that is needed is to persuade Li Yaozu and Li Tongshi to agree to his redemption, return the deed to him, and be willing to write a letter to prove it.

however--

Just when Wei Tu was thinking about how to redeem his own deed, Li Yaozu, the master who had complained about the government's education, suddenly spoke to him.

"Wei Tu, you are tall and strong, why don't you stay as a servant at Xingye."

"Protect him."

"As a father, I can rest assured."

Li Yaozu tightened the reins, causing Wei Tu in front of the horse to stop, then looked down at Wei Tu, touched the goatee under his chin, and said with his eyes shining.

"The young master is served by someone. I went to fight for a seat. If it spoils the young master's reading mood, he will not be in a good mood." Wei Tu was stunned for a while, looking for a suitable reason, and prevaricated.

"In half a year, it will be Tongshi in the county."

Wei Tu added another sentence.

The time difference between Wen Ju and Wu Ju in the county is about half a month. Wen Ju comes first and Wu Ju comes later, so he knows exactly when Tong Shi will be.

"That's right, you can't miss Xingye's study." Li Yaozu hesitated for a while, then nodded heavily, and didn't mention this matter again.

but.

Li Yaozu didn't mention it again.

But Wei Tu kept this matter in his heart.

"Li Yaozu wanted to dismiss me when Qiu was busy, what was he thinking?"

After handing over the Shuxiu, Wei Tu was on the way to Li's house in Qingshan County, thinking about the reason for this incident.

Master Li Yaozu is a difficult person to get along with, this is the consensus of all the servants in Li Zhai.

And this, in a disguised form, also shows that Li Yaozu is shrewd and not easy to fool.

He could think that changing his entourage would affect the reading problem of the young master Li Xingye. Could it be that Li Yaozu couldn't think of this?
This is impossible!
Go back to Li's house.

Wei Tu found Caixia who was a big maid, told Caixia the confusion in his heart, and then asked Caixia for her opinion.

Caixia and he are the same servants who entered Li's house, and they have always had a good relationship.

The news that his marriage with Xinghua was granted by Li Tongshi was also informed by Caixia through Chunlan.

"From my point of view, it might be the master who came up with Sister Xinghua's idea..."

Caixia pulled Weitu to the corner of the corridor, found a location where no one would see, and whispered her judgment.

"Grandma is not very happy recently. I heard the master and grandma arguing a few nights ago, saying that the master is having an affair with the aunts and aunts of those tenants..."

"Master dismissed you, the field you rented has no one to take care of it, so Sister Xinghua will let him handle it."

Caixia said word by word.

"What a sinister thought..."

After listening to Caixia's words, Wei Tu's complexion immediately darkened, wishing he could cut Li Yaozu into pieces and cut him into pieces.

before.

He had heard that some tenants would offer their mother-in-law and aunt to sleep with them in order to rent a good land from the owner's house.

But I never thought that this seemingly "friendly" Li's house is also full of these calculations.

It's probably not Li Yaozu's real intention to let him be the young master's entourage. It is his real purpose to use this matter to force him to submit and offer apricot blossoms.

Do not give in.

The food that has been planted for a year is wasted in the field.

Do not give in.

There is no way to rent such a good field next year.

As for why Li Yaozu didn't directly force Xinghua, who was never married before, to obey, he can also guess the general reason.

One, because Li Tong's family was strict in running the family and a little bit jealous, Li Yaozu was not allowed to take concubines and attack the maids around him.

Even Caixia, a big maid, has been a house maid for so long, and she is still innocent now.

The two are also due to family traditions, so rumors that Li Yaozu, the elder Li Yaozu, likes to play with maids cannot be spread in the gate of Li's house, so his reputation will be ruined.

Li Yaozu himself didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

three.

Playing with the maid.

It is difficult to give a name or not.

And forcing the tenant mother-in-law to submit, there is no need to worry about the future.

The untouchables in the countryside don't have the feudal etiquette that "death is a minor matter, but injustice is a major matter". As long as this matter is not known, they can be easily exposed.

"I know about it."

"Thank you, Caixia."

After a while, Wei Tu slowly let go of his clenched fist, bowed to Caixia to thank her, and said.

"It's nothing serious." Caixia smiled, "When I was punished by Grandma before, Sister Xinghua secretly gave me food. I've been thinking about it."

……

Back to the hall.

After feeding the half-big black horse, Wei Tu did the health-preserving exercise a few times to warm up his body.

"With my current martial strength, even if it is not a certainty, it is not far behind to win martial arts fame."

"Directly ask Li Tongshi to redeem her body. With her intelligence, she probably won't stop me."

Wei Tu thought.

Real dragons cannot be raised in shallow water.

He believed that Li Tong should understand that leaving a "rebellious" martial artist at home would cause future troubles.

"If it doesn't work..."

"Li Tong is not wise..."

There was a trace of cruelty in Wei Tu's eyes.

With a sharp blade in his heart, he will kill himself.

With his current strength, it would not be difficult to slaughter the entire Li residence.

Of course, he was thinking about Li Zhai's kindness to his life, so he would not do this, but he would still escape Li Zhai, become a bandit, and become a knife bandit.

He's had enough of being submissive.

Two ways.

Either redeem yourself to participate in martial arts, or become a bandit and become a swordsman!
