I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

Chapter 263

Qin Qingduo was the first to run out and immediately understood when he saw the unicycle behind the man.

"Are you here to pay rent? Which household is it? What's its name?"

He was holding a ledger in his hand, and his face was full of excitement and eagerness to try.

"I'm Lao Li from the east of the village. I have rented three acres of land for the master's house. This year, I have hit nine stone of corn. According to the deed I signed with the owner, I have to pay six cents of rent, so I have to pay five stone and four of the corn. . This is four of them, and the rest will be handed over tomorrow."

Lao Li answered seriously.

The eight acres of land in the Qin family's big house were leased to three families. After Mo Ruyue split up, they all came to see the new owner. At that time, Mo Ruyue felt that it was very troublesome to re-sign the contract, and the original contract time did not come. , the old contract has not changed.

Lao Li's family is an outsider, and they don't have their own land after settling in the Qin family, so they can only live by farming for others. Even if the conditions given by the Qin family at that time were as harsh as six-cent rent, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. .

In addition to the village chief's family, the Qin family has the most land in Qinjia Village. Others' families can't grow enough by themselves, let alone rent out the land and let others divide their harvest.

Qin Qingduo's ledger was made by himself later, and he wrote the information of the three tenants on it. After hearing Old Li's answer, he quickly turned to the page that recorded the situation of his family.

"Okay, then trouble uncle to move the grain in and weigh it."

When Qin Qingduo was making this account book, he originally wanted to ask about the yield per mu in previous years, but when he thought about the relationship between his family and the Qin family, he dismissed the idea.

In the past, when the tenants came to pay the rent, they were all handed over to the Qin family. Neither the original owner Mo Ruyue nor the second-bedroom daughter-in-law Wang had the right to housekeeping, and had absolutely no idea how much rent the family could collect each year.

So if you want to ask about the rent collection situation, you have to deal with the Qin family. They wish that the big house could take the initiative to come to the door, and then they will be able to deal with them. Of course, Qin Qingduo will not give them this opportunity.

Without the previous data for reference, Qin Qingduo also had another way, that is to use the grain output of other people in the village for comparison.

Because Qin Ming enlisted in the army and got paid, the farmland he bought was relatively fertile, and the best reference object was the land of the village head.

He has already inquired clearly, and the village chief's family has almost three or four stone per mu of land, so the data reported by Lao Li now should be correct, and there is no concealment.

After making a judgment, Qin Qingduo marked a symbol after Lao Li's name, which was something he could understand and represented a trustworthy symbol.

As soon as the corn that Lao Li sent was weighed, it turned out to be the number he said, not bad at all.

The scales in the Qin family's big house were not calibrated, so the amount of food that Lao Li sent was not mixed with any water. Qin Qingduo nodded and added a stroke to Lao Li's name.

Old Li didn't talk much. After the grain was weighed, he picked up a bag of corn and said to Qin Qingduo, "I'll help you put the grain. Where should I put it?"

"Come with me, put it in the granary, it was newly built not long ago."

Qin Qingduo was also a talker, and he took Lao Li away while chatting with him.

Old Li was still speechless. After delivering the grain to the granary once, he also delivered the remaining five bags of grain one after another.

When the food was being moved, someone came outside.

They are also tenants of the big house of the Qin family. Both families are surnamed Qin. They are also relatives of the Qin family who have no five clothes. According to their seniority, Qin Qingduo has to call one of them the fifth uncle, and the other one is called the third uncle.

The two of them also have two or three mu of land, but there is not much left over after paying the taxes. The family members are a little tight, so they also leased the land of the Qin family's big house, although they can only keep it. A quarter of the food is a relief.

Originally, when they faced the Qin family, they couldn't get half of it cheaply, and they had to pray that they would not be deducted from more food for various reasons by the Qin family.

Now that they paid the rent for the Qin family's big house, they found out that Mo Ruyue had handed over the stewardship rights to Qin Qingyan, and generally seldom managed things, so they couldn't help but be moved.

"Qingduo, why are you the only one at home? Where is your mother?"

As soon as Qin Qingduo called Sanbo's people into the door, they saw Lao Li carrying the food to the side of the yard, while Qin Qingduo was holding a book in his hand, and there was a scale in the yard. Rented.

He didn't expect that Qin Qingduo would collect the rent, but to be on the safe side, he still asked.

"Three uncles, you are here to pay the rent. Just tell me. I can be the master."

Qin Qingduo didn't answer his question, but said straight to the point.

"Oh, huh, that's okay. My family leased three acres of land, and I received two shi per acre. The total is six shi and six. The rent should be paid three shi and nine. Today, I'll take it all for you."

Qin Sanbo said with a smile.

Qin Qingduo was preparing to record in the notebook, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

It is also his own land, and it is also connected together. Why is the food produced so different?

He turned his head to look at Qin Sanbo, smiled slightly, and said, "Sanbo, how did I hear that the village chief's family can produce more than three stone of corn per mu of land, and our two fields are not far apart, so how can we produce such a different amount of grain? big?"

Qin Sanbo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Qin Qingduo was just a little boy with no hair.

to the point.

"Oh, you don't understand about this kind of land. This year's weather is abnormal, and the fertility of the fields can't keep up. Besides, even the same field has more fat and less fat, and the difference in the amount of grain laid is normal. ."

It's okay if he didn't explain, Qin Qingduo's eyes sank a lot with this explanation, but he still smiled and said, "If that's the case, then ask Sanbo to bring the grain over and weigh it."

Qin Sanbo originally wanted to turn around and go out to get the food, but when he saw Lao Li finished delivering the food, he rolled his eyes and said, "Old Li, I'm here to deliver the food myself, give me a hand and help me move it. Bar."

"it is good."

Lao Li responded briefly and followed Qin Sanbo out.

Qin Qingduo frowned a bit when he saw this scene.

Not long after, Lao Li was carrying two bags of grain, and Qin Sanbo came back from outside with a small bag of grain in his hand.

"Qingduo, this year's harvest is not good. Sanbo wants to discuss with you. Can you pay half of the rent that should be paid first? You also know that Sanbo's family has a large population. Still tight."

"This year, the third uncle's family has also added a young grandson, and one more mouth. You talk about it... ah! If it weren't for your family's good heart, I wouldn't be able to open this mouth."

Although he had a talkative tone, he seemed to have grasped Qin Qingduo, and he simply moved half the amount of food into the yard.

"Let's not talk about this, Sanbo, you should weigh the grain first."

Qin Qingduo said, and motioned him to put the grain on the scale.
