The vicious female supporting role only wants to farm

Mu Chaoge rested for a night, and the next day he asked Uncle Cai to bring the account book of the manor to him for a look.

The thirty acres of land are usually used to grow crops. Fruit trees are planted on the hilltop, and chickens, ducks, geese and more than twenty pigs are raised. These are the output of the villa.

Apart from the food and agricultural products delivered to the Mu family every year, the rest was barely enough to provide food and clothing for the farm’s slaves.

The output from the Mu family's other two villas is still profitable, but this one is barely making it.

Whenever the yield was low or the harvest was poor, Uncle Cai was often scolded, which made him very afraid of the people in the master's family. Therefore, he was very respectful to Shang Mu Chaoge.

Mu Chaoge is still a seven-year-old child, and the way he looks at the account book is quite funny. Sister Dujuan, on the other hand, is looking at it seriously with her brows tightly furrowed.

"Is the little you have left enough to eat? There are twenty-six of you here."

Cai Youcai was in great pain after hearing this, and he managed to say, "It's enough to eat, it's enough to eat."

Mu Chaoge stared at the old man's face and listened attentively to his inner voice.

[Enough to eat? How can we have enough to eat? If everyone hadn't tightened their belts, how could we have enough to eat? The steward of the master's house always asks for food every year, and he is scolded and beaten these two nights.]

As soon as she heard this, she said to Uncle Cai, "You can't say nonsense just because you are afraid of us. Now that my grandmother has given me this farm, if you let me starve, that would be unacceptable. Just say whatever you want to say."

Cai Youcai was frightened when he heard this. He did not expect that the Third Young Lady was so clever. She immediately realized that she was not telling the truth, so she said carefully: "Hey, I dare not lie to you. Normally, there is enough to eat, but we farmers depend on God for our food. If we encounter a bad solar term, the harvest will naturally be less."

It's not enough to eat at this time.

Everyone will go hungry.

Mu Chaoge asked immediately after hearing this: "How many years in those ten years were there with bad weather?"

Cai Youcai paused after hearing this, then smiled bitterly and said, "Ten years can be six or seven years."

When Madam Zhou heard this, she sighed, "We are lucky in Yongning City. We have good weather and good harvests here, unlike other places where there are three years of drought and three years of floods."

Mu Chaoge was also shocked after hearing this. What is Zhou Ba Pi? This is Zhou Ba Pi. The people at the top eat and drink well, while the people below suffer.

If the people above don’t have enough food to eat, many people below will probably starve to death.

Unfortunately, she didn't study at an agricultural college, which was really a headache.

Mu Chaoge's face was wrinkled, which made Madam Zhou feel distressed. She hurriedly coaxed her, "Don't be afraid, Third Miss. Now that the old lady has given you the farm, it is yours. The master will never let you starve."

Du Juan also quickly agreed, "Since the old lady has given this farm to our young lady, there is naturally no need to provide food to the mansion. We should take care of ourselves first. The master will never let our young lady starve. After all, we are blood relatives."

Mu Chaoge snorted coldly when he thought of his unreliable father, "Old man? Forget it, but Sister Dujuan and Nanny Zhou are right. Uncle Cai, you don't have to send food to my father's house anymore. Let's focus on eating first. How can we have the energy to do things if we are not full?"

Cai Youcai was shocked by their words. This Third Miss was usually spoiled and willful, but she was so bold as to not give her father food? ?

Yesterday, the old man thought that the master's family had fallen on hard times, which was why the third young lady came to the farm and demolished the room. It was not until later that he found out that she had a falling out with her father and was sent to the farm to reflect on her mistakes.

Who knows how she can reflect on her mistakes? This is simply occupying the mountain and becoming the king! !

Moreover, she actually had the land deed of Zhuangzi and the indentures of these slaves.

What can be done?

They are slaves who all recognize their masters, and they belong to whoever holds their indenture.

No matter how nervous Cai Youcai was, he had to nod and say "yes" obediently.

After all, it was just a quarrel between father and daughter.

What else can they, the slaves, do?

And what the Third Miss said was good for these slaves. At least they wouldn't have to go hungry. They could eat a full meal first and then sell the remaining food.

Mu Chaoge was very satisfied with this, but then she started to have a headache again when she looked at the annual output. If she relied on this farm, she could make some money in a bumper year. If the harvest was bad, it would only be enough for everyone to eat.

If we don't harvest anything, we will starve, right? How terrible.

Mu Chaoge felt that he should first develop this farm to see if he could make more money, and then think of ways to increase income from other places.

Du Juan and Madam Zhou looked at the little girl thinking seriously. They couldn't help laughing. Although the third young lady was smart, she was still a child after all.

Mu Chaoge couldn't help but feel amused and helpless as she listened to their inner thoughts. However, to outsiders, she was indeed still a young child.

"Okay, the most urgent thing now is to repair the house first. How can we live in this house?"

The houses are all made of loess blocks and have thatched roofs. They really can't withstand the wind and rain.

Cai Youcai was a little embarrassed. For farmers like them, it was common for the house to leak when it rained. "Since the young lady wants to live in the farm, I will ask everyone to put down their work and build a small courtyard for the young lady first."

Mu Chaoge asked him back, "What kind of building do you want? I want it to be made of black tiles and blue bricks. Does Uncle Cai have any money?"

Cai Youcai was stumped by the question. How could he have any money in his pocket? It was a luxury to be able to feed everyone in the village, so how could he have any money left?

His old man was in great distress.

After listening to his inner thoughts, Mu Chaoge was sure that he had not embezzled the money. While lamenting that the old man was too honest, he said, "I was just teasing you. I have some money here. I will repair the house first and build a new courtyard. When I have more money, I will build everything new."

Her impish appearance made Madam Zhou and Du Juan laugh. She might be small in stature, but she had a big mouth. She even wanted to buy a new house in the whole farm?

Cai Youcai was naturally happy and just nodded and agreed. As long as it was good for the farm, it would be fine.

"Then Uncle Cai, you go down first and find some reliable people to discuss how to build a new house." Mu Chaoge had an idea in mind and planned to spend one hundred taels of silver to build a courtyard with two entrances first.

"Okay, then I'll do it right away." Cai Youcai agreed respectfully, nodded goodbye to Dujuan and Nanny Zhou, and then left in a hurry.

As soon as the old steward left.

Nanny Zhou brought some tea to Mu Chaoge and asked her to drink more. "Miss Third has been talking for a long time. You must be thirsty, right? Drink some tea to moisten your throat."

After saying this, the old lady complained that there was no good tea here. What she was drinking now was the tea that Mu Chaoge had people search from her room, and there wasn't much good tea left.

Mu Chaoge didn't know how to taste tea, so she drank it in one gulp and said, "It's okay, as long as it quenches my thirst."
