After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Then those people took out the few farm tools they had, such as hoes and sickles. Although they were very old, they looked like they were used frequently and had been sharpened to be very sharp.

Xu Qinghe asked Zhang Dazhui to go with them and count what was still missing. He planned to ask someone to go to the city to buy them and then send them over together.

Those people gathered around Zhang Dazhui and started talking noisily. He looked at his little daughter who was standing aside with a thoughtful look on her face, and walked over with a smile.

"My daughter, you must be tired these days, right? There is nothing fun to do in this wilderness. You don't have to follow us tomorrow. Dad can bring Zhang Dazhu along."

Xu Qinghe looked at his little girl and felt very guilty when he thought about the days he spent in Xujia Village.

At that time, the whole family was controlled by my mother. Even if the three people in the second room did more work, the food rations they earned were not enough to fill the family's stomachs, and most of the time they went to bed hungry.

Sometimes when they were really hungry, they would take the opportunity to go up the mountain to collect firewood to get some wild fruits and pheasant eggs to eat. Otherwise, the several people in the second room would starve to death if they only relied on the little bit of water and soup given by Old Lady Qin.

So now that life at home is a little better, Xu Qinghe wants to let his wife and daughter have more rest. As a grown man, he doesn't care how hard or tired he is.

"Dad, I'm not tired."

Yuxiu pointed to the horse on the grass in the distance and said:

"Red Cloud is pretty good-natured. I wonder if it can be used to plow the fields?"

When he was in Xujia Village before, the village chief's family was the only one in the entire village that had a cow, and it was an old cow that had been raised for many years. Xu Qinghe had never seen a horse plowing a field, so when he heard Yuxiu's words, he thought about asking other people.

"The boss wants to use horses to plow the fields? Of course, that's fine."

When everyone heard that horses were going to be used to plow the fields, they all gave a positive answer.

"But horses are much more expensive than cows. With the money you spend on a horse, you can probably buy several cows, right?"

The person who spoke was the same thin and dark man as before. Yuxiu heard someone call him Li Qingshi.

Li Qingshi was a tenant farmer who had stayed here before. His wife gave birth to five sons and one daughter. At this time, the first three sons had already married and had children. In addition, he had an old father with limited mobility, so his family had the largest population together.

However, this man was very organized in what he said and did, and the tenants all trusted him and pushed him to represent them in speaking to Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe certainly knew that horses were expensive, but Yuxiu repeatedly assured him that she could buy a horse as soon as possible, so he felt relieved.

As for the horses in the space, it was not a good thing that they kept giving birth to foals. Yuxiu wanted to take this opportunity to let them out and only leave the foals inside.

Xu Qinghe was very optimistic about Li Qingshi and promoted him to be the manager of the manor. He also found a middle-aged man named Xu Chong and an old man named Wei from among the people he bought and made them deputy managers of the manor.

Let them make the arrangements themselves first, and Xu Qinghe took Yuxiu to the previous farm.

When they went there, they found that unlike the previous days, everyone started working in the fields after learning that they had new owners. Some were digging the ground, some were weeding, and there were also a few children around seven or eight years old who were busy picking up gravel and grass roots.

Seeing the Xu father and daughter coming, those people just watched from a distance and did not run back in a swarm. However, the guy named Bao Laogen came running over again.

"The boss is here..."

He was greeting us from a distance, and the wrinkles on his smiling face were enough to kill a mosquito.

"Come and see what's missing here. Buy what you need tomorrow."

We have also recruited a dozen tenants here, but it will take four or five days for them to move in. Yuxiu also bought some young and strong men from Qian Da, and they will be able to move in together tomorrow.

Bao Laogen had been here for many years. He knew everything there was and what was missing. He told her everything without hesitation. Yuxiu listened and found out that there were only grain seeds, farm tools, oxen and some small miscellaneous items, which were basically the same as those in the farm over there.

Fortunately, Zhang Dazhuang was literate, so Xu Qinghe asked him to write down the quantities of the things needed and buy them as soon as possible after returning.

The group walked around the fields again and found that although there were not many people here, the fields were still well maintained. It could be seen that this man named Bao Laogen was a hardworking man and managed the two families very well. Xu Qinghe simply let him be the manager here.

After those people arrive, we will promote a few deputy managers as well. When several people work together, they can not only have someone to discuss things with when encountering problems, but they can also supervise each other. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone.

How could Xu Qinghe understand all this a few months ago? It was on the way to the capital that the old steward of Prince Ning's Mansion was bored and talked to him a lot and taught him many principles.

Today, Zhang Dazhu was driving the carriage, and Xu Qinghe, Yuxiu and Qingdai came out together. When they could see the city gate from a distance, their carriage was stopped by several young men on horseback.

"Come out, everyone inside! I heard that you bought the house and land from Jiang Rui's family?"

Six young men sat high on their horses and surrounded the carriage that Yuxiu and the others were riding in. One of them raised his voice and shouted. He had a pale complexion and looked like a scholar, but there was a ruthless and murderous light in his eyes.

"Did you find the wrong person? We don't know the Rui you mentioned..."

Zhang Dazhu had been with his father for many years and had learned to be tactful. Seeing that these people had ill intentions, he quickly laughed it off and prepared to deal with the matter.

"Haha... I'm not blind. I've been waiting for you here for a whole day. I finally got you. Do you still want to fool me? Get everyone in your car out of here right now..."

The whip in the young man's hand made a crackling sound in the air, and the others laughed arrogantly, driving the horses under them to circle around the carriage, as if they were determined to force the people in the carriage out.

"Don't be afraid, my girl. If you get a chance later, you can just take Qingdai and drive the carriage away. Don't worry about your father..."

Xu Qinghe saw the people outside through the curtain, so he didn't want Yuxiu to show up, and prepared to go out and talk to these people himself.

These people didn't look like good people. Yuxiu had shed the look of a yellow-haired girl. Her face was rosy and shiny, and she looked fair and clean, like a beauty. Xu Qinghe was afraid that these people would harm his daughter, so he thought about getting off the car to deal with them.
