Chapter 130: Landlord Dad's Trouble 17

Han Maode bought the hillside, and Han Ze hired small workers in the village to start repairing the garden. He drew a garden design drawing that only he could understand. According to the design drawing, he directed How do the small workers fix the cover.

There are several servants in the town, he kept an old man and a boy, the old man guards the garden, the boy works as a book boy for Shubo, and the rest let them come to the village to buy vegetables and cook for the small workers.

With them, Ge Hongbu and Wang Lanhua weren't too tired, not only were they not tired, they didn't need mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all to repair the garden. Later, thinking about the large number of people in the family, Han Ze asked someone to buy three women in their thirties to do some rough work at home.

Now, Han Ze hired people to do the work in the field; repairing the house required cooking, and Han Ze asked his servants to do it; even the housework at home, Han Ze also bought a wife, raised pigs, fed chickens, cooked and cleaned the house, etc. Wait, it's all up to the women.

Ge Hongbu and Wang Lanhua had been working for half their lives, and suddenly they were idle, something was really wrong. It's all right, so I just do needlework at home. Seeing this, Han Ze went to buy more than a dozen bolts of cloth, and all the adults and children replaced them with new ones inside and out.

When the villagers saw that their family had employed servants, they were envious again, especially Liu Juhua, who was not only envious, but also jealous.

How rich is Han Maode's family, that he actually bought a woman to wait on him?

Thinking of this, her eyes were almost red with hatred.

Aunt Pianliu also told the villagers that the woman was bought by Han Ze to serve Wang Lanhua. She was so angry that she couldn't help but went to Han Ze immediately. Ah, then buy a wife for her own mother.

Han Ze looked at her in surprise: "You want me to buy you a maid?"

Liu Juhua said angrily: "You took the rent I owed, and you also took the land I rented, so I won't say anything, after all, even though the land was rented by me, it was also rented by Chengming's father. But you bought a woman to serve Wang Lanhua, so you have to buy a woman to serve me anyway."

Han Ze frowned and said, "The woman bought it to cook and wash for the family, not to serve anyone. Mother, you think too much."

Liu Juhua snorted, "Ge Hongbu and Wang Lanhua didn't do the housework. You bought the mother-in-law back, wouldn't it be cheaper for them?"

Han Ze raised his eyebrows: "Mother, Ge Hongbu and my mother are going to do needlework, where do you have time to do those rough jobs? You think too much."

Liu Juhua grimaced: "How much sewing can I do? Do I need two people? It's just an excuse for not wanting to buy me a wife."

Han Ze couldn't bear it anymore, he said: "Mother, you are right, I really don't want to buy you a wife. You are not with me, and you bought a wife for you. It is Han Chengming and others who benefit. I rely on Why do you want to be taken advantage of? You want a mother-in-law, let Uncle Xingwang buy it for you, and what is going on?"

Liu Juhua choked, her body trembling with anger, pointing at Han Ze: "Hello, you, you white-eyed wolf..."

Han Ze looked at it, and said seriously: "Mother, don't think that I don't care about people. If you are anyone else, you can't do it. If you are divorced from my father and have never been married, you let me It doesn’t matter if I give you a pension, or buy a wife to serve you. But you said that you have remarried, and you keep asking me to buy things for you, to fill Han Chengming and the others, which doesn’t make any sense anywhere.”

Liu Juhua listened to Han Zelai's back and forth words, nothing more than she remarried, no matter what she gave her, it would be cheaper for Han Xingwang and the others, so he would not be taken advantage of.

She asked angrily: "You really don't want to buy me a wife?"

Han Ze said, "I won't buy it."

Liu Juhua knew it was useless to talk too much, and threatened angrily: "Wang Lanhua is just your stepmother, don't regret it in the future."

Han Ze said: "Regret or not, she is my wife. As my son, it is justifiable to be filial to her."

Liu Juhua hated secretly, so it was justified. She divorced Han Maode and remarried again. She broke the relationship with Han Maode's family. It's not right.

Han Ze watched her leave, and drove the ox cart to the town to pick up the book fair. Tomorrow is another day for the book fair to rest and take a bath. On the way, I met Han Chengming again. With the experience of the previous few times, Han Chengming didn't plan to ride in Han Ze's bullock cart again. Seeing that he didn't even say hello, he just hung his head and walked towards the town.

Han Ze chuckled, and drove the bullock cart in front of him, blocking his way.

Han Chengming looked at him angrily. How amazing is it to have a bullock cart? You won't let me ride in an ox cart, I'm avoiding you, why are you here to provoke me?

Han Ze raised his eyebrows, looked at his embarrassing face, and said, "Your mother came to me and asked me to buy her a maid. Do you think I should buy it or not?"

Han Chengming's heart moved, and he said: "My mother is also your mother, since she wants a woman to serve her, you can buy her one."

Han Ze laughed mockingly: "But my mother is married to your father, and we are a family with you. She wants a mother-in-law to take care of her, shouldn't you pay for it?"

Han Chengming also admitted that Han Ze's words were reasonable, but if he wanted money, would he still look at Han Ze's face? He said: "My poor family can't even afford to eat. Where can I get the money to buy a wife? Your son is rich, so what if you buy a wife for your mother?"

Han Ze nodded: "You're right, I have a lot of money. But why would my mother marry your father when she doesn't want me? No matter how much money I have, it's mine, and it has nothing to do with your family. You and your father want more money." If you have a face, don't ask my mother to count my money and my father's money, let people look down on you, and even in the future, if you succeed in school or in the literary examination, you will be poked in the back, saying that they rely on grandma to count my ex-husband's money. Those who pass the exam are talented."

Han Chengming's face turned blue and white. He didn't expect Han Ze to be so ruthless and say such vicious words. Although they really wanted Han Ze to give money for the education of the two children, didn't they fail?

Han Ze said again: "As long as you don't trick your mother to plot against me, I really don't have that much time to talk to you."

Han Chengming blushed. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want anything from Han Ze's family. If there was a chance, he would never give it up. For Han Ze to know the fact that he is not Han Maode's biological son, it was a complete mistake, and it is useless to regret it.

Han Ze didn't look at him anymore, and drove away with the ox cart

Han Ze picked up Han Shubo, and planned to take him to the courtyard of the town to have a look. When Han Chengming saw Han Jixue and Han Jiwen, he asked, "Have you been assessed? Did you get any rewards?"

Han Jixue and Han Jiwen looked at Han Shubo enviously. They were also studying in the school. Why didn't the uncle ask if the book fair won any prizes? Pian Dad would ask every time he went to sleep, did they win an award? It's okay to win the prize, but if they don't win the prize, they will be severely scolded by their father, so that they are afraid every time they go to the holidays. Afraid of dad scolding them.

Han Jixue shrank his head: "No."

Han Chengming stared: "Didn't take the exam, or didn't get the reward?"

Han Jixue whispered, "I didn't get the reward."

Han Chengming's face darkened, and he went to look at Han Jiwen again. Han Jiwen lowered his head: "I didn't get a reward either."

Han Chengming's face could no longer be described as gloomy. If he hadn't been at the entrance of the school, his fist would have landed on the two children immediately. Han Jixue and Han Jiwen were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word.

Han Ze watched from the side, feeling a little sympathetic to the two children.

But Han Shubo said: "Actually, the two cousins, Jixue and Jiwen, are very hardworking in their studies. My husband also praised them for their solid knowledge in our class, but for some reason, their results are not satisfactory every time they are assessed."

In the academy, the rewards are determined according to the ranking in the examination. The top ten in the first exam can get rewards, but now the top three are rewarded.

Han Ze patted him on the head lightly: "Uncle Cheng Ming is getting impatient. Whether you can get rewards is the second priority. The purpose of your studies is the imperial examination. Whether you can pass the exam is the most important thing."

Han Shubo thought about it, and felt that what his father said was right, he cared too much about the gains and losses in front of him, which would easily affect his reading.

...

On this day, Han Ze was resting at home when Yu Anzhi arrived in a carriage.

After Han Ze asked, he found out that he came here for the flowers at home. When Han Ze led him to look at the flowers in the vegetable garden behind the house, he couldn't walk anymore.

Pulling Han Ze's arm, he said excitedly, "Brother Han, do you sell these flowers? I want them all?"

Han Ze smiled: "You also know that I'm an ordinary person. I've ruined this flower. You can give me a price and take them all away."

Yu Anzhi clapped his hands violently: "Brother Han is a straightforward person, and there are still two pots of embarrassing purple here. How about I give you one thousand taels of silver?"

Han Ze said cheerfully, "Okay!"

Yu Anzhi felt relieved, and looked at Han Ze in amazement, "I didn't know Brother Han was so good at growing flowers."

What he didn't say was that the flowering period of the potted flowers he bought had reached their flowering period, and they hadn't bloomed yet, so it was extended for many days, which is strange.

Han Ze smiled and said, "I'm a countryman, and I only know how to grow fields and flowers."

Yu Anzhi said with emotion: "If you can keep growing such precious flowers, it will be considered a skill."

Han Ze smiled and said nothing.

After Yu Anzhi bought flowers, he rushed to take them home, made an appointment with Han Ze to sell them to him next time, and left.

The days passed quickly. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the garden in the village was repaired. The houses there were all brick houses, spacious and bright. After discussing with Han Ze, Han Maode and Han Ze decided to move the whole family to live in the garden.

The two sisters, Han Xiaochun and Han Xiaodong, have learned a lot of characters in nearly a year, and have already started to learn the Four Books. Compared with sisters Shu Xin, they are more diligent, and their handwriting is better than the sisters Shu Xin. Han Xiaochun has been seventeen years old for several years, and Han Xiaodong is younger, also fifteen years old. Both of them should talk about their in-laws.

After teaching them for so long, Han Ze also developed feelings for the two younger sisters. Seeing that their marriages were in vain, he couldn't bear their anxiety, so he went to the town and asked Yu Anzhi to find out if there was a suitable family.

Ever since Yu Anzhi knew that Han Ze was good at growing flowers, the relationship between the two has become close. For such small things, of course he agreed to help.
