Not only did he not accept it, but he also forced Zhao Zheng to accept it.
The neighbors were all envious when they saw it.
Zhao Laosan doesn't want it, give it to me!
Of course, this was just their fantasy. Corn was very expensive now. Because of the bandit incident, it was said that a pound of corn in the village cost more than 20 cents, which was extremely expensive.
No matter how expensive it is, you have to accept it.
Zhao Zheng reluctantly said, "Alright, I'll take the rice. You guys can go back. And tell Dali not to talk nonsense from now on."
"Silly child, why don't you thank Uncle Zhao quickly?"
Yan Dali calmed down and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"
"Old Zhao, do you think my Dali can return to Team 8?" After presenting the gift and apologizing, Yan's wife immediately took action. "Old Zhao, if you need anything from now on, just ask my Dali to do it. Even if it's just chopping firewood or fetching water for your family, it's no problem."
Zhao Zhenghao said with a smile, "Why, your Dali wants to work for my family too?"
The wife of the Yan family smiled and said, "Sure, I don't want any wages, as long as you give him something to eat."
You little brat, you're eating me out of house and home.
Yan Dali can work, but he can also eat.
Old man Yan can hardly bear it anymore.
If Zhao Zheng really agreed, it would be a great help to the Yan family.
"Our Dali is more powerful than the Tieniu of the Liu family." The wife of the Yan family said proudly.
Liu Tieniu heard it clearly at home and was immediately furious. At the same time, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
The Yan family definitely has bad intentions!
Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes. Isn't this an opportunity that comes right to his doorstep?
"Okay then. I'll take your Dali. I want the same treatment as Tieniu. Do you want your signature and consent?"
Mrs. Yan was delighted. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that he would actually agree?
"I agree, of course I agree!"
Yan Dali was anxious, "Mom, I don't want to go to work at Uncle Zhao's house."
If he went to the Zhao family, wouldn't he become a long-term slave of the Zhao family?
"Idiot, it's just work, not something else, what are you afraid of?"
The Yan family's wife poked her son's head with a stern face and said, "Will I harm you again?"
Yan Dali opened his mouth, but finally let it drop weakly.
"Okay, if you agree, I will ask the village elders to draft a document tomorrow and call your husband, Mr. Yan, to come over and serve as a witness together." Zhao Zheng said.
"Okay." Mrs. Yan nodded happily and left with her son.
As soon as the mother and son left, Yang Zhaodi and Zhang Xiaoe came out and said with a worried look on their faces, "Father-in-law, this Yan Dali is stabbing you in the back. He's not a good person. Will there be any trouble if we accept him in?"
Zhang Xiao'e also said: "Father-in-law, I don't like him!"
The two widows were the subject of a lot of gossip in the village.
They were not nervous about their father-in-law accepting Liu Tieniu, after all, Liu Tieniu did not have Lan Zi.
But Yan Dali is different. After a long time, outsiders will inevitably talk too much.
"I didn't ask you to like him." Zhao Zheng touched Zhang Xiao'e's head and said lovingly, "He's just a farmhand. Just be a servant in our family. From now on, you two are the young ladies of the family. Tomorrow, I'll go out and buy you two little girls to serve you!"
Zhang Xiao'e blinked her big eyes, as if she had not yet come to her senses.
Yang Zhaodi covered her mouth and laughed, "Father-in-law, we don't have the life of a young mistress!"
Zhang Xiao'e also said, "Father-in-law, our family is just getting better off now. We haven't reached the stage where we need to hire a long-term worker or buy a maid yet!"
"I'll do the rough and tiring work, don't waste your money!"
Both girls are afraid of being poor.
Seeing Zhao Zheng spending money lavishly, everyone was very nervous.
"You only pay for what you spend. If you keep it in your hands, you won't make any money."
Zhao Zheng said, "Our family will get better and better in the future. You have to get used to it. Listen to me. From today on, learn to be a young lady."
"Also, our house is a little small. Tomorrow, after Yan Dali signs the paperwork, we'll have him and Tie Niu build some more adobe bricks and build two more rooms!"
Yang Zhaodi was stunned.
Want to learn how to be a housewife?
Is she really destined to have such a fate?
Zhang Xiao'e was also excited, "Is it really possible?"
Zhao Zheng nodded and immediately handed two kilograms of corn to Yang Zhaodi. He then went back into the house and took out a bag of rice. "The two kilograms of corn are for returning to my in-laws. Here are ten kilograms of corn as a thank you gift for helping me when I was in trouble. Go back tomorrow, give the rice to your father, and invite them to our house for a meal."
Yang Zhaodi hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, I want these two kilograms of corn. These ten kilograms of rice are too much..."
"I think it's too little." Zhao Zheng didn't think he was a good person, but true colors are revealed in times of crisis. The Yang family's situation would only be worse than the Zhao family's. Even so, he was still willing to squeeze out two kilograms of corn from his teeth to help them. This was a favor.
Secondly, after his son died in the war, the Yang family came to help with the business, which was also a favor.
Third, after their son died, the Yang family did not let Yang Zhaodi go home, which was also a favor.
If the Yang family came to make trouble, Zhao Zheng would have no reason to keep Yang Zhaodi.
In other words, his previous life was ungrateful. Even though his in-laws were helping him with the funeral arrangements, he felt that they were taking away the main event. He even had a quarrel with Father Yang and parted on bad terms.
Now that his family is doing well now, he is willing to help out if he can.
He also needs to support someone in other villages to serve as his spy.
Then why can't this person be one's own relative?
"Zhao Di, since we're family, let's not talk nonsense. When my in-laws came to help me with the funeral, I had an argument with them. Now that I think about it, I regret it so much!"
"Even so, he is still willing to lend me food. I am very grateful in my heart."
"I didn't have the ability before, but now I have the ability. As long as I have something to eat, I won't let my in-laws go hungry."
Yang Zhaodi burst into tears instantly.
The relationship between her husband's family and her own family has always been a knot in her heart.
Now, her father-in-law took the initiative to talk about this matter and show his goodwill, which made her very happy. She no longer refused and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhang Xiao'e was also happy for her sister-in-law.
Zhao Zheng also touched Yang Zhaodi's head. There was no distracting thoughts in his mind. He just wanted to treat his two daughters-in-law well. "Don't cry."
"I'm happy." Yang Zhaodi sniffed, her eyes full of joy. "If my parents knew about this, they would definitely be very happy."
Just then, there was another knock on the gate.
Zhao Zheng frowned. Who the hell is this?
"Uncle Zhao, it's me, Tie Niu."
Yang Zhaodi wiped her tears and took Zhang Xiaoe to the woodshed. Zhao Zheng went to open the door and asked, "Tie Niu, what's wrong so late at night?"
Liu Tieniu clenched his fist and said, "Uncle Zhao, do you really want to accept Yan Dali?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Zhao, you must not accept him. This kid has bad intentions!" Liu Tieniu was anxious. "Besides, Yan Dali has been saying bad things about you behind your back. If he comes to our house, who knows what trouble he will cause!"
