Sang Tianjiao girl is a little sweet

Chapter 557 Old thing, you are kidding me!
Gu Cun's old face flushed with anger, if it wasn't for the support of his son behind him, he would have collapsed in anger.

After taking a breath, Village Chief Gu said angrily: "The Xie family is really deceiving people!"

Steward Xie waved his hand to signal the two servants who came to carry the silkworm cocoons into the carriage outside the courtyard, then he turned his head to Village Chief Gu and said, "The Xie family is deceiving people too much, so what can you do? The contract is signed, and you still have eight years to go." Accept it!"

Steward Xie looked at Village Chief Gu's family who were very petty, smiled and said again: "This time the silkworm eggs cost one tael and one thousand pieces of silver. Village Chief Gu, hurry up and tell the villagers to buy them."

Guanshi Xie showed a sinister smile, and looked at the distraught look of Mr. Gu's family triumphantly.

"Village Chief Gu! Why don't you call the villagers over?" Steward Xie played with the wrench on his thumb, with a condescending attitude.

Village head Gu was so angry that he had nothing to say, and motioned for his elder son to call the villagers over.

Along the way, the villagers who came heard that the eldest son of Gu Village said that the cocoons were only sold for one or two silver a catty this time, and they all gritted their teeth angrily, but they dared not resist.

Hearing that the silkworms cost one tael and one thousand silkworms, the faces of the villagers all became gloomy, as if the sky had fallen.

Sitting in front of the courtyard of the village chief's house, Guanshi Xie stood up with a smile when he saw the villagers coming one after another, and said, "This time there are one, two, and one thousand silkworm eggs."

After Xie Guanshi finished speaking, the villagers of Guqian Village dared not speak out, and all looked at Village Chief Gu.

Seeing this, Village Chief Gu couldn't stand still, and said, "Our family bought five hundred."

Guanshi Xie heard this, narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step forward and grabbed the skirt of Village Chief Gu, and said angrily: "Old man, how many cocoons can only be produced by five hundred, you are playing me!"

Village head Gu was held by the skirt of his clothes, and he had difficulty breathing for a while, panting, "Silkworm cocoons are sold for not much money, our family still needs to eat and drink, and it is not easy to buy five hundred silkworm eggs."

Steward Xie raised his eyebrows, pushed Village Chief Gu to the ground, and then turned his head to look at the villagers outside the yard.

"This time, the steward brought 2 silkworm seeds to Guqian Village. Since your village chief bought [-], you can share the remaining [-]. If you don't buy them, the steward will take someone to chop them up immediately." Killed the mulberry trees in your village!"

The villagers were silent and looked at Village Chief Gu in a panic.

Suddenly, a woman in the crowd burst into tears: "My God, there is no way to live in this world. We orphans and widows might as well jump into the river and die cleanly, so as not to suffer in this world!"

When Manager Xie heard this, he snorted coldly: "Since you are going to jump into the river, then hurry up! Don't get in the way here!"

When the village woman heard this, she actually took a child by the hand and walked towards the river.

Seeing this, Village Chief Gu's face changed drastically in fright: "Quick! Go and stop it!"

When the other villagers saw it, they were indifferent and cried instead.

"Village chief, what's the use of stopping him? Sooner or later, he will starve to death. It's better to die now."

Seeing that the villagers really didn't stop the mother and son, Manager Xie panicked for a while.

If he forced the villagers to death, the master of the Xie family would definitely not spare him.

"Mr. Gu, quickly ask someone to bring the mother and child back! You can buy as many silkworm eggs as you want!" Manager Xie said unwillingly, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

Village head Gu sighed softly, and signaled his eldest son and daughter-in-law to call him back.

However, it was too late for the two of them. The mother and son had already jumped into the river. Fortunately, they were rescued in time, otherwise they would have drowned.

When Manager Xie heard about this, he was afraid that the mother and son would blackmail him and cause him trouble, so he only asked each household to buy no less than [-] silkworm seeds, and left in a hurry, leaving only one A servant is in charge.

As for going to other villages, Guanshi Xie also encountered many similar things.

The villagers either made a fuss and jumped into the river, or prepared to hang themselves at the entrance of the village.

Guanshi Xie was afraid of causing death, so he could only compromise in the end.

Village Chief Gu told Hua Qian about these things the next day when he brought the silkworm cocoon, and she laughed when she heard it.

"Grandpa Gu, your method is really brilliant." Hua Qian praised sincerely.

No matter how self-righteous Manager Xie is, he won't get any benefit from going against the villagers of a few villages. If he really forced someone to death, the Xie family will only push him out to take the blame.

I think he is also a smart person, so he compromised.

Village head Gu stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Girl Qian'er, the school in your village has been completed, and those in this village don't accept repairs, so how many repairs do you have to accept for those from other villages?"

"Not much, two taels of silver a year. One lunch is included, and a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones will be provided." Hua Qian said with a smile.

Village head Gu was taken aback when he first heard about two taels of silver, but he laughed after hearing it.

"Hehe... this bunch of repairs is really not expensive."

At this moment, Wuli walked into the main room and said, "Master, the cocoons that Village Chief Gu brought totaled 600 jin, and two taels of silver a catty, totaling [-] taels."

Hearing that silkworm cocoons cost two taels of silver per catty, Village Chief Gu was speechless.

"Grandpa Gu, these are bank notes, count them to see if they are right." Hua Qian handed the counted bank notes to Village Chief Gu who was at the side, and he came back to his senses in a daze.

"That... girl Qian'er, the last time I came here, wasn't it only [-] cents a catty?" Village head Gu was curious, why the price has risen in the past half a month, could it be that this girl deliberately took care of them?

"Grandpa Gu, you deserve this price, there's nothing surprising about it." Hua Qian was telling the truth. Cloth woven from silk is very popular nowadays, and the demand is also increasing.

If it weren't for her having the magic of the Garment Pavilion, the business of Meihua Cloth Village would not be so good.

In the past few years, her father, Hua Dashan, has opened cloth shops in every town in Qinggu County, and the business is booming.

Not to mention the business of Meihuazhai and Xiuzhuang.

"The money is the sum of more than five hundred households in several villages, and the distribution is only a dozen or so taels of money per family." Hua Qian said while flicking her abacus.

Village head Gu didn't count the banknotes, and put them directly into his sleeves.

"Officer Xie only gave us one tael of silver this time, but the silkworm eggs are sold for one tael of silver per thousand. The cocoons produced by these thousand may not necessarily be sold for one tael of silver."

After hearing this, Hua Qian chuckled: "Grandpa Gu, why are you angry with him, my sixth grandpa's silkworm eggs are one tael and ten thousand pieces of silver, how much do you want, I will ask Wuqiu to send them to you tomorrow."

"I wrote it on the paper when I came here, take a look." Village Chief Gu said, taking out the paper from his pocket.

Hua Qian took it and looked at it, then handed it to Wuli who was on the side: "Sister Xiaoli, you send this note to Grandpa Six's house and ask him to distribute the silkworm seeds."

Seeing that it was getting late, Village Chief Gu smiled and said, "Girl Qian'er, Grandpa Gu should be leaving, please send someone to deliver the silkworm eggs tomorrow."

After Village Chief Gu left, Wuyu, who was sent by Hua Qian to find Mei Xue, finally came back, but he fainted when he saw Hua Qian.

"Brother!" Wuqiu exclaimed, catching Wuyu's falling body with a stride.

Hua Qian frowned, stepped forward to check Wuyu's situation, smelled a strong smell of blood coming from him, and said: "Hurry up and take him back to the room to lie down, you hurry up and invite Doctor Gao over."
