After walking around, Han Qiao had already figured out the two families’ temperaments.
Regardless of whether they wanted to redeem themselves or not, she did not want to keep them.
What was the use of housing parasites?
When they returned to the hall, Han Qiao saw the two families gathered there.
They were all tidied up neatly, both adults and children.
His days were smooth, and his complexion was naturally very good.
Zhong Yurong had just spoken a few words when Uncle Ming stood up and said, “Young Master, can we redeem ourselves?”
“You can.”
Zhong Yurong couldn’t bear to be too harsh to them.
The family only asked for fifteen taels of silver symbolically.
They wanted the contract returned on the spot.
Both families were very satisfied with this.
If they took back their identities, they would be free men.
Han Qiao opened her mouth and said, “Master Zhong, when you bought this house, did you buy the furniture as well?”
“This…” Zhong Yurong did not expect Han Qiao to ask this question.
Uncle Ming stood up and said, “At that time, when Mr. Hu came to discuss the price of the manor, he didn’t bring any furniture. The grain and fruits this year all belong to the Zhong family.”
“Oh, then I’m curious where the furniture went,” Han Qiao asked lightly.
“I have already converted it into silver and gave it to you,” Uncle Ming said calmly.
Clearly, they were well prepared.
“Then when will you move out?” Han Qiao asked again.
“We will leave once the fruit from the back mountain—”
“Uncle Ming, I’ve given the fruit to Master Heng. You’re no longer a member of the Zhong family, and you’re no longer a member of the Heng family. You should move out as soon as possible.” Zhong Yurong interrupted.
Ming Zhu looked at Zhong Yurong in shock.
This was something he had not expected.
The other servants were also stunned.
“So when are you moving out?” Han Qiao asked again.
Uncle Ming took a deep breath. “Madam, please give me a few more days.”
“Give me an exact time.”
Han Qiao didn’t want to take advantage of Zhong Yurong. She also had her eyes on the fruits at the back of the mountain.
Therefore, if these two families moved away quickly, the fruits would be left behind.
Looking at their expressions, they must have cheated the Zhong family with a lot of money.
There was more than one parasite in the Zhong family, so it was inevitable that the Zhong family would lose a lot of things.
As for Zhong Yurong, he was only exceptionally kind, but he was not stupid. Even though he had seen through the Ming family’s schemes, he still did not expose them, leaving the Ming family with some dignity.
Uncle Ming wanted to stay for a month and a half, but seeing Han Qiao sitting in the main seat, it was obvious that she was not someone easy to fool.
He took a deep breath, “We’ll move out in five days at most.”
“Alright.”
Han Qiao did not force the two farmers.
However, in front of them, he took out five taels of silver and placed them in front of Zhong Yurong.
“Young Master Zhong, if you had given us this fruit when you were rich and glorious, we would have accepted it. However, now that you have fallen from grace, we can’t treat your generosity as a blessing. This silver might not be enough to buy the fruit, but it’s still a little token of our appreciation.”
“No, no, no!” Zhong Yurong quickly shook his head.
“Young Master Zhong’s journey to the north is long. You need silver everywhere you go.”
Zhong Yurong listened to Han Qiao’s words.
He stood up and bowed to Han Qiao. “Thank you for your generosity, Madam.”
He really couldn’t reject this silver.
His grandmother was seriously ill at home, and he had to feed his brothers and sisters who had never worked before.
A single coin could be life-saving.
Taking the silver as a part of the two villages meant that the remaining properties in the village belonged to the Heng family.
The only things that the two families could move away, were the items in their small courtyards, as well as the chickens, ducks, and pigs they raised.
He could forget about touching the fruits at the back of the mountain.
Of course, Han Qiao was a bit more ruthless. Thanks to her, the only thing they could bring was their clothes and not anything else.
After the matter was settled, Han Qiao left Bai Cha in charge.
Bai Cha was very clever, bold, and careful.
“You stay here. I’ll get someone to measure the size of the furniture tomorrow so that you don’t have to run back and forth.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Han Qiao didn’t say anything, but the two farmers understood.
The orange peels by the roadside showed that they had eaten most and had sold most of them.
Naturally, they were a little greedy.
Before she left, Han Qiao went to pick a lot of oranges for Zhong Yurong.
“Thank you.”
Now, Zhong Yurong could not be aloof to what his servants were doing.
“Young Master Zhong, I wish you a smooth journey up north, a great achievement, and a meteoric rise.”
Zhong Yurong was not confident in himself.
However, Han Qiao was the first person to think that he could still make a comeback.
“Young Master Zhong, you can’t harm others when you’re outside, but you can’t be without your guard. You’re too kind.”
If he was a little more ruthless, he could get back more than a hundred taels of silver from these two families.
These two families were too greedy.
“Madam Heng, I will go north the day after tomorrow, and if I really follow your words, I will return to Puyi County and invite you and Master Heng to the best restaurant.”
“Master and I will wait.”
This was how some good karma was formed.
Han Qiao and the others also picked a lot of oranges and brought them back to Xishan Village.
With Bai Cha here, the two families did not dare to act rashly. The children were also ordered not to go to the back of the mountain to pick fruits.
There were some things that should be left between adults, and it would be embarrassing if they were to be made known.
It was fortunate that these two families could retreat with dignity in one piece.
Uncle Ming instructed his family to pack up quickly.
They had already bought land in the nearby village to build a house and could move there at any time.
Uncle Ming chatted with Bai Cha to get some information on the Heng couple.
But Bai Cha was as slippery as a loach, and instead, managed to weasel information out of him. Bai Cha found out about Uncle Ming’s house in Stone Pit Village.
How the man had bought a few mu of land to reclaim.
That the two families had long become in-laws.
His daughter married the other family’s son, and his son married the other family’s daughter. That was why they had cheated the Zhong family with a lot of money.
Bai Cha observed them even more closely.
Zhong Yurong first returned to the small house he rented in the county town. A few sisters-in-law came forward to get oranges to eat.
“Big Brother, look, what is this?”
Zhong Yurong went forward to take it.
It was a pouch.
When he opened it, there was a banknote worth a hundred taels.
Zhong Yurong’s jaw dropped.
Before he suddenly laughed out loud, and his tears rolled down his cheeks.
“Big brother, what’s wrong?”
Zhong Yurong shook his head.
He had a feeling that this purse had been placed there by Madam Heng.
Madam Heng was a very clear-minded person. With just one glance, she didn’t want Uncle Ming and his two families, and she was able to see through the tricks they were hiding.
He was a fool and an average man.
He had been studying for so many years to the point of becoming stupid.
If you don’t know people well, you don’t know how to use people well.
“Big Brother…”
Zhong Yurong shook his head. “It’s fine. Pick a few good oranges and send them to Grandmother.”
“Oh.”
When Han Qiao and Heng Yi brought the oranges back to Xishan Village, the children were the happiest to receive them.
Compared to last year, the family’s lives were much better this year. In addition, they had gone into the mountains to hunt tigers too, so they had earned a lot of money.
The Han family suddenly had an extra thirty taels. Father Han made the decision to let his third son keep it for himself.
He moved the things in his hands and built two more houses before letting his third son split up..
