Chapter 24 Take it with equanimity
Fu Ciyi took out the land deed.

Unexpectedly, the Hu family rolled their eyes in unison.

Mrs. Fu even came up to grab the land deed.

Judging from her appearance, she was probably about to be snatched away and torn apart.

Fu Ciyi is tall and has long legs. When he raised his hand, he took a step back.

Mrs. Fu jumped at the opportunity and shouted: "Trying to fool us with a piece of paper and bullying no one in our family who can read?"

Hu Ajing also raised her voice: "Yes, this is bullying us because we are illiterate."

The more excited the Hu family is, the more clear they are.

Yan Funing smiled lightly: "Can illiteracy be used as a reason not to admit the debt?"

"I just don't recognize it!"

Qian picked up the broom and waved it over.

Such a battle was like a fight between shrews, and Yan Fu was stunned.

Fu Ciyi pulled her back collar and stepped away a few steps to the side.

Someone pulled her back collar and pinched her neck with her front collar, causing Yan Funing to cough for a while.

However, this was not the time to breathe, and besides, he had good intentions. Yan Funing stroked her neck, swallowed, and then she regained her composure.

Li Zheng stepped forward and pinched Qian's broom handle: "We are all from the same village, don't be rude."

Hu Dahai pulled Li Zheng to the side.

"Li Zheng, as a fellow villager, you can't help outsiders for many years!" Hu Dahai lowered his voice, "Our family planted those pieces of land with your tacit approval."

As he spoke, he patted the money bag hanging on his waist, and his meaning was obvious.

Li Zheng sighed, not knowing how to answer the question for a while.

When Hu Xingwang saw that his family members were very energetic in fighting, he instantly gained confidence and said loudly: "Li Zheng, my cousin is the county magistrate. Are you clear on this?"

Hu Dahai raised his eyebrows and said with a laugh: "To be honest, my whole family was a guest at the county magistrate's house yesterday. If you know what's going on, you should know what to do."

Li Zheng's behavior at this moment made Yan Funing frown: "The field deed is clearly written in black and white, and it also has the official seal of the Yamen. You can always recognize the big red official seal, right? As a leader, Li Zheng is especially concerned about official seals. Clear."

She spoke slowly and looked at the Hu family: "Besides, you, the Hu family, have land of your own, and you plant my land, don't you know it in your heart?"

Being reminded like this, Li Zheng straightened his back: "Yes, I have read the land deed. It was issued by the government and the owner is indeed Fu Wanniang."

It is true that the Hu family and the county magistrate are relatives.

These two families haven't interacted with each other for several years. Even if they did interact again, how much real affection would there be?
The Fu Ciyi in front of him is said to be the nephew of the county magistrate.

He didn't know the reason why Fu Wanniang's family lived in the countryside.But they have lived under the same roof as the county magistrate for more than ten years, and their relationship is always better.

In such a comparison, he can still tell which one is more important.

Furthermore, a land deed stamped with the official seal of the state government is more authoritative than one stamped with the official seal of the county government.

Li Zheng had said so, and the other party had a field deed, so the Hu family had nothing to say, and everyone settled down, as quiet as a chicken.

After a while, Mrs. Fu clapped her thigh and shouted: "What should we do with the crops we have planted in the field?"

Hu Dahai glanced at the old woman and then turned to Li Zheng: "Wait until these crops are harvested and then return the fields to them, okay?"

Li Zheng asked Fu Ciyi: "Can you see it?"

Fu Ciyi said calmly: "The law stipulates that the field and its attachments belong to the owner of the field."

Hu Dahai didn't understand, so he straightened himself again: "What does he mean?"

Li Zheng explained: "The meaning is that according to the law, whoever owns the field should also own what is grown on the ground."

Hu Xingwang shouted again: "My cousin is the county magistrate, but our parents in Ling County are officials..."

"Stop talking, can the county magistrate go beyond the law?" Hu Dahai glanced at his son, then squatted down in annoyance and scratched his head.

Mrs. Fu walked up to Fu Ciyi and softened her tone: "In terms of kinship, you should call me aunt. We have planted your family's fields, and up to now, we have not said we will not return them. After all, after the harvest, the harvest will be completed." Bar?"

Fu Ciyi remained silent.

Li Zheng smiled: "Since we are relatives, then I will be a peacemaker. Now half of the crops in the fields are harvested by one family. After harvesting, the Hu family will no longer be able to plant the Fu family's fields."

The Hu family members all nodded: "Okay, it's done!"

Fu Ciyi said coldly: "That's it, I have another point to mention."

Hu Dahai stood up: "You tell me."

Fu Ciyi: "My family's land has been cultivated by the Hu family for 15 years. How much money has the Hu family paid in terms of principal and interest over the years?"

The soft words were like an invisible hand, instantly strangling the Hu family's throat.

Yan Funing really wanted to clap her hands and applaud.

This person is so powerful. He takes the Hu family's arrogance and unreason in stride, and is able to stab him when the time comes.

Thinking of himself, in such a comparison, she seemed to be no match for him.

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on her back.

When Mrs. Fu heard this, she immediately sat on the ground and started shouting: "You kid, you disrespect your elders. You are going to push our Hu family to a dead end."

When Mrs. Qian saw her mother-in-law like this, she also sat on the ground and slapped her thigh hard.

Seeing Yan Funing frowning, she unconsciously moved her steps towards Fu Ciyi.

Fu Ciyi stood coldly, expressionless.

Li Zheng had a smile on his face: "Fu family nephew, just for the sake of selling me Li Zheng, just use grain to replace the accounts over the years. I can't even calculate it carefully. Besides, if the Hu family doesn't plant, your family's fields will also be abandoned. no?"

Fu Ciyi then moved his eyelids and asked indifferently: "In your opinion, what do you think?"

Li Zhengdao: "Hu family, you give Fu family nephew a hundred catties of rice, and that's it."

The Hu family refused to comply.

Qian said: "Why should we give them the food we worked so hard to grow?"

"Regardless of the food grown, how much rent should you pay just for farming?" Yan Funing said, "Besides, one acre of land can produce five hundred kilograms of food in one season."

Modern yields are even higher, with yields per mu reaching 1000 kilograms.

Even in this era, a few acres of land can be grown twice a year depending on the climate.In this way, one hundred kilograms of rice is nothing.

Yan Funing twirled her fingers and talked about the yield issue with the Hu family: "In 15 years, we planted two crops a year, and the output was [-] kilograms per mu. Multiplied by six acres of land, that is [-] kilograms of grain! According to the A rice production rate of [-]% means [-] kilograms of rice."

Hu Ajing said dissatisfied: "But we don't all grow food, we also grow vegetables."

Yan Funing said: "Different vegetables have different yields, and some are higher. Do you want to calculate carefully?"

After hearing this, the Hu family members all lowered their heads.

In the past ten years or so, by cultivating the Fu family's fields and adding my own fields, I have more food than I can eat, and I have made a lot of money selling it.

The money saved is enough to find a good son-in-law for A Jing.

One hundred kilograms of rice is not enough as a fraction of the rent.

He immediately expressed his agreement with Li Zheng's approach.

Afraid that the young couple would make a big fuss, Hu Dahai said to Li Zhengzheng: "Now that we have agreed, let's establish a written agreement."

Fu Ciyi was well prepared, took out pen and ink on rice paper, and wrote the documents.
