Chapter 112: Puzzled
If it is calculated according to the requirements of the Liu family, based on the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, Wu Dade's family will have to compensate at least 30,000 catties of wheat.
These 30,000 catties of wheat are more than 30,000 yuan! For Wu Dade, this amount of money is tantamount to an astronomical amount.
The wheat fields were burned, and the true yield was naturally unknown, but the fertility of this land was basically the same.
The whole village uses the same wheat seeds, and the highest yield per mu is only more than 800 catties after harvesting in the past few days.
Now the mother-in-law of the Liu family is so open-mouthed, Wu Dade can't take care of it, and said:
"You're outrageous! When did your family reach the yield of 1,000 catties per mu?"
As soon as his words fell, a man from the Liu family also walked out from behind his mother-in-law and said:
"Brother Da De, what did you say...... You don't know, our land has been fertilized a lot this year, and the yield will naturally increase a lot compared to before!"
Although this is empty words, it is difficult to refute, after all, no one will stare at each other when it comes to fertilization.
Seeing Wu Dade choked on the other party's words, Ma Qiuju hurriedly said again: "If you say more, you will go up more? I also said that you didn't apply fertilizer at all this year!"
"You...... You woman, why do you just talk nonsense when you open your mouth! I don't use fertilizer?
Several women of the Liu family also opened their mouths to refute, and the dispute broke out again for a while, Wu Xiaoyu was just about to stand up and scold everyone, but saw Niu Mansheng take a puff of cigarette, coughed, and said:
"Don't even shout...... It's all a village, and as for the trouble that has come to this point, can't one person give up a step?"
Wu Dade replied coldly: "One person gives way? What is the fertility of the land in this village, which one is not clear?
When several men of the Liu family heard this, they took a few steps forward and said, "Wu Dade, what you said is too much......
"Why are we honest and stirring up trouble? Your family set fire to our wheat, and you are still reasonable?"
Wu Xiaoyu and the other two cousins, seeing this posture, hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Ma Qiuju behind them.
Several men from the Liu family, seeing Wu Xiaoyu coming out, took a few steps back, and said, "Xiaoyu, this debt repayment is justified. ”
"Don't think we're going too far, we're also going to feed our families! So much grain has been destroyed before it has been harvested, what do you want us to eat?"
Wu Mingming's child accidentally caused a fire and burned down several wheat fields, and it was indeed a matter of course for the other party to ask for compensation.
But if it is said that the yield per mu is 1,000 catties, it is so unreliable, it is a bit of a robbery and an opportunity to blackmail.
Like the two households of the Li family, it is a reasonable range to claim according to the yield of 700 catties per mu.
The reason why several families surnamed Liu dared to ask for a thousand catties per mu was because their families had a large number of people and a large number of people, so they naturally had nothing to fear.
"It's right to lose money and grain, but the price you want for a thousand catties per mu is too much!" Wu Xiaoyu glared at a few people and said coldly.
Wu Xiaoyu's fierceness is obvious to all, and several men of the Liu family were stared at by him so angrily, they were really a little weak-hearted, and they didn't know what to say.
But the women of the Liu family don't eat this set, no matter how powerful Wu Xiaoyu is, she can't beat women, right?
"Why is it too much? I've told you, we have applied a lot of fertilizer this year, and the yield must be increased!"
"You are like you as if we were going to blackmail you. Otherwise...... How about you restore my wheat field to its original state, and I don't want you to pay for a grain of wheat?"
These words are already sprinkled, and the burned wheat fields are restored to their original state?
Wu Xiaoyu's most helpless thing is to deal with shrews, she can't beat and scold, and she can't scold and scold.
Fortunately, Ma Qiuju is also a pungent person, and when she heard the other party say this, she also began to mess around and be unreasonable.
When the village chief Niu Mansheng saw this scene, his heart was extremely comfortable and even excited.
This little baby of the Wu family is really a lucky star, burning the wheat field, arousing the contradictions between the Liu and Wu families, and he just stayed out of the matter and watched them fight against each other.
Wu Xiaoyu, don't you have the handle of Lao Tzu? Aren't you a cow pen? Now that you have not only offended Lao Tzu, but also fallen out with the flourishing old Liu family, you will still have a good life in this Daxin Village in the future!
Hmph! This is the end of offending Lao Tzu, even God has to help teach you a lesson!
Just as Niu Mansheng was watching from the wall, he saw accountant Liu Chuanwen and his cousin Liu Chuanfang walking over.
Niu Mansheng hurriedly rushed to the quarreling people, made a warm-hearted appearance, and persuaded: "Don't quarrel...... Something to say......"
The voices of several women were like bells, and they were so noisy, how could they hear his mosquito-like voice?
Niu Mansheng saw that Liu Chuanwen and the two had walked in front of him, so he took a few steps back and said to accountant Liu Chuanfang: "Look at it...... I won't listen to any persuasion!"
Liu Chuanwen nodded to him slightly, said hello, and shouted at the arguing crowd: "What are you doing? Is there any rule? What does it look like to be noisy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several women of the Liu family reluctantly shut up, and Ma Qiuju and the two concubines also accepted it when they saw it, listening to what high-sounding words Accountant Liu could say.
Accountant Liu glared at his family and said, "Didn't you say that you would talk about compensation when I came back?"
Niu Mansheng saw that this Accountant Liu reprimanded his family as soon as he came, and suddenly realized in his heart that this Wu Xiaoyu had just saved his mother-in-law!
It seems that he is afraid that he is going to help Wu Xiaoyu speak!
But...... Even so, it is beneficial and harmless to himself, if Accountant Liu turns his elbow outward, I am afraid that he will lose some prestige in the clan, so his threat to his position as the village chief is not worth mentioning.
Besides, the first Liu family to move to Daxin Village were the two brothers, so although there are many Liu families in the village, they are divided into two lines, and he Liu Chuanwen is not a man of his word in the clan.
Of the six Liu family families in front of him, four of them are not Liu Chuanwen's relatives, but Liu Chuanfang's lineage, so whether this matter can be solved well today depends on Liu Chuanfang's attitude.
I saw Accountant Liu take out a small notebook from his pocket, open it to a few people, and said: "You all see, this is the output of grain in the village in recent years, and the highest yield in the year is only an average yield of 800 catties per mu. ”
"I think I will compensate according to the yield of 750 catties per mu, what do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several daughters-in-law of the Liu family, and they began to bite each other's ears, and the difference was more than 200 catties per acre, which was not a small amount.
Just as almost everyone was whispering, Liu Chuanfang suddenly spoke: "I think the compensation of 750 catties per mu of land is already a lot, so it's decided!"
After Liu Chuanfang finished speaking, without waiting for a few juniors of his family to express his position, he turned his head and said to Wu Xiaoyu and the others: "Xiaoyu, Dade, do you think it's okay?"
Although seven hundred and fifty catties is not a small amount, it is also reasonable, and Wu Dade has nothing to argue with, nodding and saying: "Okay! Seven hundred and five is seven hundred and five!"
Seeing Wu Dade's statement, Liu Chuanfang turned around and said to several descendants of his own family: "Then compensate according to 75 catties, you are not allowed to mess around anymore!"
Several descendants of the Liu family, seeing that their parents had said so, naturally it was not easy to have another incident, so they nodded in agreement.
A few people who were arguing just now were reconciled so easily? A contradiction that I couldn't wait for was incompatible, and it was so easily resolved?
Niu Mansheng was puzzled, Liu Chuanwen was forgivable for helping Wu Xiaoyu, but Liu Chuanfang was such a strong person, why did he also help Wu Xiaoyu?
