The Pretty Man I Picked Up [Time Travel]

Chapter 113 Nearing the end

Xu Haorui understood clearly, "She refuses to sell potatoes?"

Luo Mingxuan sighed, "What's more, she has been sold to Treasure Shop Qian."

Xu Haorui asked again: "Do the villagers know that the contract is lost?"

Luo Mingxuan and the village chief shook their heads together.

The village chief said: "Not yet, but someone should have guessed that the fire that day destroyed Mr. Luo's contract."

"Even if Brother Luo's share was burned, there is still a contract in Uncle He's hand. The villagers all know it. Now no one knows that Uncle He's share was stolen. Why did Xu Tang dare to sell it to Jubaolou? She is not afraid Want ten times the compensation?”

"Exactly, before any news of the contract being stolen came out, the only people who knew that the contract was stolen were the thief and his accomplices. Grandma Xu is so confident, maybe she knows something, right?"

The village chief was in a daze and hit the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand. "Oh, I'm so confused. I remembered that just two days before the contract was lost, Xu Xingwen came to me and asked to see the documents and the contract, so I took them out and gave them to him. He looked.

I'm afraid it was that time when he saw where the contract was. How could I have imagined that he would do such a thing, but how did he steal it? "

Xu Xingwen persuaded Xu Tangshi to sell 10,000 kilograms of potatoes to Jubaolou.

The summer harvest totaled 12,000 jins, and the family had 2,000 jins left, of which 1,200 jins were due as grain tax, and their family had four acres of dry land.

The family received two hundred and fifty taels of silver, but only Xu Xingwen and Xu Tangshi felt purely happy, while the others had mixed feelings.

Xu Xingwu was honest and felt that although they sold it to Jubaolou for more than 200 taels of silver, which was much more than selling it to the Yamen for 80 taels, they had lost their credibility and were greedy for profit.

If the people in the village find out, he will definitely be looked down upon. He has a son and a daughter who are still unmarried, and his wife and daughter-in-law don't know how to face their parents' family.

Even Xu Rulan and Xu Haoan knew that their grandmother did this without considering them, and they didn't know if it would have any impact on their future marriage.

Xu Haorui shook his head, "Maybe only he knows this. Uncle, let's hurry up and persuade the other villagers to collect the potatoes first. Then you can analyze the pros and cons with them and sign the contract again. As for Xu Tang's I’ll leave that alone for now.”

"Hey, let's go."

Xu Haorui took Lin Qingjiu's little hand and followed the village chief and Luo Mingxuan to collect potatoes from the remaining houses.

It was particularly lively next to the old trees in the village. People who had sold potatoes yesterday also came out to join in the fun, watching the merchants eloquently persuade the villagers.

The villagers were stunned for a moment after being told this, and their already weak determination began to tilt to one side.

Luo Mingxuan hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle Pan, please think carefully. Let's talk first."

When Uncle Pan saw the village chief and Xu Haorui behind Luo Mingxuan, his eyes dodged and he did not dare to look at them.

The merchants who came to the village with Shopkeeper Qian saw that he was trying to interfere, and they were dissatisfied and said, "Who are you? Don't you know that you have to come first, first served?"
