Space peasant girl: Farming girl is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 26 Arrears of Wages
Although the blind father had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask anything. After Walnut finished speaking, he glanced at Zhengshan and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

When Walnut returned home, she saw her aunt leading Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang sitting at the dining table having dinner. She looked at her aunt and asked, "Where is grandma! Why isn't she at home?"

My aunt listened to her question, and said while eating, "I went to work at the landlord's house and haven't come back yet!"

Hearing what her aunt said, Walnut glanced at the darkening sky outside, turned around and walked outside the house.

The aunt watched Walnut walking into the yard, and hurriedly shouted: "Damn girl, what are you going to do if you don't eat at such a late hour?"

Walnut looked back at her and said, "I'll go see why grandma hasn't come back yet."

After talking about Walnut, he left the house and walked directly to the landlord's house in the south of the village in the dark. Before he reached the door of the landlord's house, he saw the bright lights in the courtyard of the landlord's house, and then he heard the sound of quarrels coming from the courtyard. .

Hearing the quarrel, Walnut quickened his pace, came to the door of the landlord's house, pushed the door and walked in. He saw two big torches lit in the courtyard of the landlord's house. Under the light of the torches, Walnut quickly found his grandma and went directly Walking up to her, I heard the voice of Landlord Dong from my ear, and I heard him say: "I have already paid you for the land you planted for me yesterday, and I can't pay you for the land today. You guys, I have to wait for the seeds you planted to sprout before I can give them to you, if any one comes out, it will be deducted from your wages, you guys don’t stay here anymore, go back quickly!"

As soon as the landlord Dong finished speaking, more than a dozen people working for his family in the yard were unwilling, and only heard Li's aunt say: "Dong Dafu, how can you do things like this, when you were working for your family, you clearly It’s agreed, I’ll pay you when the work is done, what do you mean by doing this now? Besides, is it easy for us people to work for you? From morning to night, you don’t even give you the time to drink saliva. You won't pay us when it's over, even if your family has money, you won't bring such a bully! Today I did work for you, and you should pay us. If you don't, we will just sit here and not leave. "

After listening to Aunt Li's words, Walnut finally understood what was going on. It turned out that grandma didn't go back so late because she finished her work and Dong Da Landlord's family didn't pay her.

Walnut frowned when she heard this, then grandma took her hand and said, "What's wrong with you, it's so late, what are you doing here if you don't stay at home?"

As soon as Grandma Walnut finished speaking, Landlord Dong's voice sounded again, and he heard him say: "Do you want wages today? If you want to stay here, then stay here. It's getting late." I have to go back to rest. After finishing speaking, I ignored the people in the yard, went back to the house, directly hung the door, and blew out the lights in the house.

When the dozen or so people in the yard saw this, they were really angry and anxious, but there was nothing they could do. "

Aunt Li was so angry that she stood in the yard and started cursing at the top of her voice. Just after Aunt Li cursed a few words, the servant of the landlord’s family came out from the next room and looked at Aunt Li and said: "You can scold as much as you want, and after scolding you don't want to ask for more money for today's work."

Listening to the servant's words, Aunt Li's face turned red from standing there.

At this time, Grandma Walnut walked up to Aunt Li's family and said, "Forget it, it's too late for a few days, we've done a day's work, go back and have some food and rest, come back tomorrow!"

Hearing Grandma Walnut's words, several other workers thought for a while and said, "It seems that this is the only way to go. Anyway, his family lives here, and he is not afraid of him running away, so it's better to come back tomorrow."

Walnut and grandma returned home, and the aunt and ya had already met; the two children finished their dinner, saw them coming back, and said with a smile on their faces: "Mom, the meal is ready, let's eat quickly!"

After listening to her daughter's words, Grandma Walnut glanced at the food on the dining table and said, "I'm not hungry tonight. I'm a little tired. I'll go to rest first."

Hearing what grandma said, Walnut knew that she was on fire. After a day's work, the landlord's house turned out to be cheating.She looked at grandma and said, "Eat something when you're tired! What if you don't eat?"

Grandma listened to Walnut and said, "I'm not hungry. Go and fetch me a basin of water. I'll wash my feet and sleep, and I'll eat tomorrow morning."

Hearing what grandma said, Walnut had no choice but to answer: "Oh, I'll fetch water for you right now."

Grandma took a rest after washing her feet. Aunt Xiaoya took a look at Walnut and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your grandma, Walnut? Why does she seem to be in a bad mood?"

Walnut picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table and filled a bowl of rice. While eating, he glanced at his aunt and said, "It's nothing, you should rest quickly!"

Listening to Walnut, Aunt Xiaoya snorted coldly, got on the kang, undressed the two children, and lay down to rest.

Walnut sat alone at the dining table, thinking while eating, Dong Da's house is trying to play tricks and doesn't want to pay grandma, even if grandma and the others go tomorrow, it will be in vain.Judging from the meaning of the landlord's family today, it means that they will not give it.

Thinking, thinking, walnuts no longer have the appetite to eat.

Walnut, who had rested all night, hadn’t gotten up from the kang the next day, when he heard the old Li’s aunt shouting from the yard, and only heard the Li’s aunt shout: “Grandma Walnut, are you up yet? Let’s go!” Ah! Go to the landlord's house and ask for wages."

Hearing these words, Walnut opened his eyes and looked at the grandma who was already dressed. At this moment, she heard the grandma lowered her voice and said, "Auntie Li, I'm going out right now. You are in the yard. Wait here for a while."

Hearing what grandma said, Walnut climbed up from the kang, looked at grandma and said, "I'll go with you."

After leaving the house, Li's aunt, grandma Walnut, and the people who worked for the landlord's house yesterday gathered together and walked towards the landlord's house.

It wasn't long before they came to the landlord's house, and when they were about to open the door to enter, they were stopped by the landlord's servant, who said, "Don't go into the yard, the Dong family knows you are coming, Let me tell you, the potatoes and sweet potatoes and wheat planted yesterday were unqualified, you want wages, no. If you are not convinced, feel free to go to Lizheng to file a complaint, he is waiting."

Hearing what the owner of the landlord's house said, Grandma Walnut and Aunt Li's family were unwilling to quarrel with the servant. Seeing this, Walnut knew that grandma's wages were going to be yellow in all likelihood, so she stopped grandma and said : "Let's go home! Stop arguing here, I will find a way to get my wages back."
