Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

As long as he thinks of the money spent on buying people, he can't help all kinds of pain, and he can't wait to pull Daddy over and give him a stern talk.

"Hehe... Who told you that the Zhuang family can't be served by others?"

Laughing and rubbing his head, Yan Shengrui pulled him to sit down, looked into the distance and said slowly: "Xiaowen, I know you are very sensible, and it is because you used to always be hungry that you care about money, but every time you Every time I only see the money I spend, I don’t think about the money Jingxuan makes. Let me settle the account for you. First of all, our medicinal fish can sell at least one or two silver per day, right? It’s almost fifty taels, and as for the jam, let alone the income, it’s just ten days, we sold more than two thousand taels for the jam alone, and there will be more in the future. Let’s buy more land and buy a few people. Where's the land? Compared to the money we spend, we earn several times as much!"

A general king who has led the army all the year round, even if he loses his memory, he is not suitable for being so gentle, but he is facing his own son. In order to be concerned about his feelings, he has been as euphemistic as possible. If he wants to go his own way, then he can only expand his moves. Who made him promise Ling Jingxuan to help him settle the little bun.

"I know that our family makes a lot of money, and it's not that I don't let Dad spend money, but we can't spend it indiscriminately. Now that we don't have a place to live, he buys a bunch of servants and comes back? Father, I I have tried very hard to tell myself not to stare at the money at home, but every time I see my dad spending money, I can't help but feel distressed. It seems that we are making money now, and we should continue to make money in the future. , But?? But?? If one day we run out of money again, are we waiting to starve and freeze again?"

It was absolutely impossible that what Yan Shengrui said was useless, but the little bun was so frightened that he had never forgotten the bitter days of starvation and freezing. At the end of the sentence, his stubborn eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red. The hands hanging by his side were also clenched unconsciously. He was really afraid, afraid that he would live the day of holding his stomach and starving again.

"Silly boy, even if Jingxuan can't make money someday, isn't there me? When my injury is healed, I can go hunting in the mountains to earn money to support my family, I will definitely not leave you hungry, Xiaowen, I I told you so much not to teach you a lesson, but to hope that you will gradually forget the past, forget the responsibilities you always put on yourself, and simply be a five-year-old child."

Pulling him and placing him on his lap, Yan Shengrui touched his face distressedly. Ling Wen lowered his head deeply, neither saying good nor bad. Seeing that he should still not give up the idea of ​​talking about Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui was helpless. He sighed inwardly, held up his face and said solemnly, "Xiaowen, you have seen Jingxuan and the others making jam these days. On a hot day, they go back and forth to the mountain home, and they have to stay up late at night. All the fruits picked that day are boiled into jam and sealed in the cellar, not to mention Jing Xuan, who is already weak, even you Uncle Zhao and the others can't stand it. The more you have, the more tired Jing Xuan and the others are, do you have the heart to let Jing Xuan and Jing Peng exhaust themselves to death?"

"No, no! I don't want to tire Daddy. The big deal is that we sell less jam."

This time, Ling Wen waved his hands in an anti-sheer way without even thinking about it, expressing his intentions almost eagerly. He would rather not make money than make his father really tired.

"Isn't that right? Xiaowen, we have signed a contract with Shopkeeper Zhang, how can we say that we will sell less if we sell less? Within three months of our promise to supply, we have to do as much as they want. Otherwise, they can go to the yamen to sue us with the contract, and your favorite daddy will probably end up in jail."

Forcing himself not to be soft-hearted, Yan Shengrui deliberately said it more and more seriously.

"Then what should I do? Daddy can't eat in prison, but I don't want Daddy to be exhausted. Father, why don't we hire someone?"

The little bun was really anxious, tears fell down, two little hands grabbed Yan Shengrui's shoulders excitedly, his little face was full of worry and eagerness, as if Ling Jingxuan was really tired or locked away by the yamen. In the same way, Yan Shengrui continued to endure his distress and continued: "Don't you need to pay for hiring people? Do you know how much it costs to hire people a day? It's a full thirty cents, and that's not even the money for them to take care of their meals, food and drink. Counting it back and forth, one person needs at least thirty-five taels a day, and ten people is three hundred and fifty taels. If it is a month, it will be about ten taels of silver, but we can only buy seven or eight taels of silver. The people who are here can serve us all their lives. Let’s not talk about it from afar. Let’s just say that the Song Gengniu family we bought today costs 30 taels of silver for five talents, and an average of 6 taels per person. You can calculate whether it is cost-effective to hire people or buy people. ?"

To settle such an account with a child, in addition to Ling Jingxuan, I am afraid that only Yan Shengrui is the only one. You can tell by looking at Ling Wen's silly mouth, he probably doesn't understand at all, but? ?

"Father means, is it more cost-effective to buy people than to hire people? But where do we get so much food to support them? There is also a place to live. Now our family has no place to live, where should they live?"

After a long while, Ling Wen had tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, tilted his head and asked in confusion, obviously, his resistance to buying people was much less. Although he didn't fully understand what Yan Shengrui said, he also I listened to most of it, at least the point is to grasp it.

"Haha...Isn't our family going to build a big house soon? Are you afraid that you won't have a place to live? Xiaowen, father and daddy know that you are very sensible, and you always have to worry about this family, but this is not what you should be like now. Worry about it, promise me, take your younger brother to study hard in the future, don't worry about money anymore, don't worry, can you give it to us?"

Finally no longer suppressing his distress, Yan Shengrui touched his face and said softly word by word, deep down, he was the same as Ling Jingxuan,

Inevitably saddened.

"Then?? Let's keep people?"

Without answering his question, the little bun wiped his tears and asked, Yan Shengrui smiled and nodded: "Well, keep it."

"Well, since you all said that it's more cost-effective to buy someone than to hire someone, father, let's keep their family."

As if he had made a big decision, Ling Wen finally gritted his teeth and approved it. Looking at his little grown-up appearance, Yan Shengrui burst into laughter again. Fortunately, he felt sorry for Jing Xuan, otherwise this thought work would not be easy to do. what.

"Hehe... Then let's go back, it's almost time to eat."

The matter was resolved, Yan Shengrui stood up holding him decisively, a smile gradually appeared on Ling Wen's face, and later when Ling Jingxuan found out how Yan Shengrui persuaded him, he could not hold back a burst of warmth in his heart, even though his little bun was stingy. A little bit, sometimes it makes him a headache, but, between his favorite money and him, he still chooses his father, doesn't he? That's enough.

Chapter 077

When Yan Shengrui and his son were chatting, Ling Jingxuan also learned what happened in the morning from Ling Jinghan's mouth. The old Ling family's heart was not dead, and he really wanted to find Ling Chenglong to go back alone, as he expected, probably just to convince him to come back. Ling family? For this reason, Ling Jingxuan pouted sarcastically. If he had a good estimate, the old patriarch's wife would invite someone to propose a marriage to her stupid nephew. I am afraid that there is also the shadow of the Ling family. Regardless of whether it is there or not, he should have it.

In the afternoon, after having Song Gengniu take grandma back by carriage, Ling Jingxuan did not go to Lao Wang's kiln to pull bricks and tiles with Ling Jingpeng, Zhao Dalong, and the others. Instead, he excused being too tired and hid in the cellar with Yan Shengrui to scramble the things he bought today. medicine.

"You should be able to do it lightly, right? Can you use it now?"

For Ling Jingxuan, making poison was as easy as eating and drinking water. It was done in three or two times. He turned around and looked at Yan Shengrui, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. Don't blame him for being ruthless if you provoke him again and again.

"Then it depends on what you want me to do. If it's just a simple way of going over the wall and entering the house, it's definitely no problem, but if it's killing people to steal goods and hunting fiercely, it will be a little more difficult, Jing Xuan, what do you want? what to do?"

Looking at him with slanted eyes, Yan Shengrui smiled speciously, and his bright tiger eyes looked at the small cloth bag with pills in his hand with great interest. If he guessed correctly, those medicines are for the Ling family. ? I just don't know who has this honor.

"What can you do? Isn't it just a small reward for them? Are you like this??"

As he said that, Ling Jingxuan leaned over and whispered in his ear and bit his ear, only to see Yan Shengrui's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and finally showing undisguised excitement, and after he finished speaking, he hugged him rudely. The waist: "You are really cruel. If this thing really happens, the old show can't be mad? Don't talk about the Ling family."
