"Really?"
"Um!"
"Great, I want it, I want it all! Let's stick to the old rules, one liter of millet and one tael of silver plus one hundred strings of cash. Young Noble Lady Lu, what do you think?" Huang Bairong said happily.
"Um!"
"Haha, thank you, Noble Lu, Noble Lu, I will ask my servants to get you the money right away... By the way, where is your food?" Huang Bairong suddenly asked curiously.
Dozens of liters of grain weigh more than a hundred kilograms!
But Lu Fan was only carrying a black gourd on his back, and he didn't look like he had any food at all.
Of course Lu Fan would not tell anyone that all the food was in his magic gourd.
So he said, "I came here in a hurry and left the grain somewhere else. Manager Huang, please lend me a rice bag and I'll go get the grain for you now."
Huang Bairong knew that Lu Fan was cautious.
After all, in this era of famine, many people killed and burned people for a bite of food, and they were willing to do anything.
So when he heard Lu Fan say that, he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll have my servants get you a bag of rice."
After saying that, he asked his servant to bring a bag of rice to Lu Fan.
After taking the bag of rice, Lu Fan left Huang's Pawnshop.
Huang Bairong sent Lu Fan to the door, then stood in the snow, looking forward to Lu Fan coming.
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in Huang's Pawn Shop.
"Master Huang, we've come to wish you a happy new year! May you be blessed with great fortune and a long life!"
Following the direction of the voice, I saw a man and a woman kneeling in front of Huang Bairong.
At the same time, he was holding some gifts in his hands.
Upon closer inspection, the two people were Lu Fan's biological father, Lu Dahai, and his stepmother, Wang.
turn out to be.
The land that Lu Dahai and Wang Shi cultivate every year is all rented from Huang Bairong.
Not just them.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, almost one-third of the people in Qingyang Town rented Huang Bairong's land and then paid rent every year.
Looking at the two of them, Huang Bairong showed a look of disgust on his face.
"Why are you guys here again?"
Wang kowtowed quickly and said, "Master Huang, please, let us continue to cultivate the land this year! Don't worry, if you let us rent it, we will definitely pay you the rent we owe you next year."
"Yes, Mr. Huang, our family is counting on your two acres of land. If you're willing to let us continue renting it, we'll give you double the rent next year!"
Hearing about the double rent, Huang Bairong touched his chin.
turn out to be.
Due to years of famine, Lu Dahai and Wang Shi have not yet paid the rent to Huang Bairong this year.
But Huang Bairong is a businessman, and he knows better than anyone that in this era of natural disasters and man-made tragedies, his land is idle anyway. If the two people in front of him can really give him double the rent, it would not be a bad thing.
With a muffled groan, Huang Bairong said, "Are you really willing to pay two rents?"
"We're willing, as long as Mr. Huang allows us to continue renting the land." Wang said quickly.
"Alright! Since you're still sincere, I'll have someone prepare a contract for you and you can sign it later."
Finished.
Huang Bairong turned around and went back to the pawnshop to prepare to sign a new deed.
When the couple saw Huang Bairong let them go back to farming, they were overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang."
"Master Huang, you are the great Bodhisattva of our family."
"Old Lu, we finally have land to farm again. As long as we have land, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
"Yes, yes."
While the two were talking happily, Lu Fan was already walking towards them carrying a bag of grain.
"Eh? Old Lu, look quickly, isn't that your ex-wife's bastard?"
Sudden.
Wang saw Lu Fan carrying a bag of grain and pointed at him.
Lu Dahai was stunned, and when he actually saw Lu Fan, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's really him..."
"That's strange! Your ex-wife's bastard hasn't starved to death yet? And he even ran here? Look at what that little bastard is holding in his hand. Why does it look so heavy?"
"Who knows?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Just as Lu Fan was walking over, a sarcastic voice suddenly came into his ears.
"Hey, isn't this the bastard born by that damn woman?"
When the shrill sound came, Lu Fan looked up and saw Wang and Lu Dahai.
Next.
His expression changed instantly.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Fan quickly put the bag of food behind him and asked cautiously.
"I was just about to ask you, little bastard, you didn't starve to death. Hey, what's that bag you're holding? Come, let me see."
As Wang said this, she was about to walk over to take a look at Lu Fan's bag of grain.
Lu Fan quickly retreated and shouted angrily: "Don't come over here!!!"
Seeing Lu Fan say this, Lu Dahai said.
"Lu Fan, how are you talking to your stepmother? She just wants to check your bag. What are you worried about?"
Facing Lu Dahai's question, Lu Fan said, "A piece of shit like her is worthy of being my stepmother?"
"you?"
"Old Lu, look at this! This little bastard actually dared to scold me! Hurry up and slap him in the face! Slap him to death!"
Lu Dahai had never expected that Lu Fan would dare to scold Wang, so he sternly said, "Lu Fan, kowtow to your stepmother and admit your mistake."
"Admit your mistakes to her? Who the hell is she?"
Lu Fan said sternly.
"I'm your father. Don't you even listen to what I say?" Lu Dahai said angrily when he saw Lu Fan say that.
"Oh! You still have the nerve to call me your father?"
"What kind of father would watch his children starve to death and do nothing? Lu Dahai, let me tell you, ever since you kicked my sister and me out of the house three years ago, I've been without a father! So, don't use your status to order me around!"
Lu Dahai never dreamed that Lu Fan would dare to speak to him like this. He raised his palm and shouted angrily: "You evil boy, you are asking for a beating!"
Just as Lu Dahai was about to take action, suddenly, a voice came from Huang's Pawnshop.
"How dare you! That blind man hit my little benefactor Huang Bairong!"
These words came out.
At this time, Huang Bairong ran out with his men.
"Master Huang?"
Lu Dahai and Wang were both stunned when they saw Huang Bairong running out.
Just wanted to speak.
Who knows.
Huang Bairong suddenly ran towards Lu Fan.
"My dear, what happened?"
Lu Fan stared at Lu Dahai and Wang Shi and said, "These two bastards are trying to steal my food bag. Shopkeeper, you can handle it yourself!"
What?
Stealing food?
Hearing this, Huang Bairong suddenly became angry.
"Who gave you the guts to steal my little noble's things on my territory, you bastard?"
"Someone, take these two bastards down for me."
At a command, several servants ran out with sticks.
Seeing a group of servants rushing out, Lu Dahai and his wife were completely frightened.
"Master Huang...this little bastard, he...he...is talking nonsense!"
"Yes, Master Huang, this Lu Fan is my son. When did he become a nobleman?"
son?
Hearing this, Huang Bairong looked at Lu Fan in surprise.
"Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense, I don't even know him!" Lu Fan said directly.
Hearing this.
Huang Bairong also said, "That's right! I am a nobleman of such status, how could I be the son of a piece of trash like you? Come on, beat him up!"
Following Huang Bairong's order, the servants took sticks and beat Lu Dahai and Wang.
Ahhhhhh!
The beaten couple cried and shouted, "Master Huang... he really is my son... I didn't lie to you..."
pity.
Huang Bairong was too lazy to listen to what the couple said.
Looking at the beaten Lu Dahai and Wang, Lu Fan felt a comfort he had never felt before.
Cool!
"Old Lu...why on earth is this happening? Why is Mr. Huang so nice to that little bastard?"
Wang, whose face was bruised from the beating, lay on the snow crying and asked Lu Dahai.
Seeing Lu Dahai's face also covered in blood, he asked, "How should I know?"
"So... what should we do now? The two acres of land that Mr. Huang promised to rent us... is there any hope?"
Lu Dahai said with a sad face: "This can only be left to fate! If they really don't give us land to farm, we will just starve to death, alas..."
