The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 272: Old Man Zhao's Family Left Behind

Su He whispered a few words to Liu Bai, who nodded and drove away in the carriage.

"What are your names? Bring us some stools."

Old man Zhao's daughter-in-law, Huang, quickly ran into the house and moved a stool.

"Miss, please sit down."

Huang carefully moved three small stools, wiped them clean, and then invited Su He and the other two to sit down.

"Miss, my name is Zhao Xiaogou. This is my family. These are my two sons, two daughters-in-law, and my five grandsons and one granddaughter."

That's 12 people. Su He counted the number of people and asked, "Why are there only 11?"

Old man Zhao was stunned for a moment and said bitterly.

"My grandson was buried. He didn't have anything to eat for a month. The child didn't survive."

Huang ran back into the house, covered her face and cried bitterly. Datou was gone just like that.

He actually starved to death?

Su He frowned and looked at He Huiru, "Don't you have any food stored?"

"No, after the grain was harvested, Manager Zhou only left two months' worth of food for us and took away the rest. He sent us food every month afterwards. This time, Manager Zhou didn't send us any food for two months."

Su He was silent for a long time. If this was a villain like Manager Zhou, she would just let Liu Bai beat him out.

But this family lived no better than beggars. She couldn't bring herself to drive them away, as that would be like letting them die.

"I want to rebuild these two manors. I can keep you here temporarily. When I build the houses, if you can work, I will pay you. After the construction is completed, if you still want to stay, you will have to sign a contract to sell your bodies. How do you think?"

Old man Zhao knelt down with a thud, and the others followed suit.

"Thank you, Miss. We are willing to sign as long as we are given a place to live and don't starve to death. We are willing to do any job."

Su He touched the stool under his buttocks, "Did you make this stool?"

Old man Zhao wiped his tears and said, "My younger son made it. My two sons can do it, too. Manager Zhou said he would pay me three cents for each wardrobe I make. I can make 3 wardrobes every month. I can use the money to buy some clothes and salt, and even have some meat for the New Year."

Su He was so angry that she laughed when she saw the satisfied look on Old Man Zhao's family's faces.

"Aunt, did Manager Zhou die in pain?"

"He died after a day and night of pain."

Su He was satisfied, "That's good."

"Okay, you guys stay here for now, and I'll make arrangements for you later."

Su He noticed that Liu Bai had already returned, and she had no intention of staying here anymore.

"Here, this is for you. It's two months' worth of food. I'm lending this to you temporarily. Help me build a house later."

Liu Bai took out four large bags of old grain from the carriage. These were bought for her by the villagers. It was agreed that the villagers would provide Su He with food for the next year. Now Su He's family still had 1,000 kilograms of old rice.

Liu Bai carried a bundle and handed it to Old Man Zhao's son, "Salt, oil."

Su He and the other two did not stay long and got on the carriage directly. Liu Bai gave them instructions and drove away quickly.

Old man Zhao ran out of the farm holding his grandson and kowtowed to the carriage as it drove away.

Zhou Chuchu stretched her head and looked at the family who were still kowtowing, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Mom, Manager Zhou is going too far."

He Huiru tapped her daughter's head gently to educate her.

"Chu Chu, this is how weak people are, they are bullied by others. From now on, you should learn how to do business from your mother. You should grow up."

Zhou Chuchu stared at her mother in a daze and nodded silently.

Su He didn't pay attention to the conversation between the mother and daughter. She was thinking about how to renovate the two farms.

The location of this manor is not bad. There are mountains and forests not far away. The nearest manor is two miles away, and there is a large paddy field in front of the manor.

She didn't want a paddy field, she wanted to build a pond, raise some fish and shrimp, plant some lotus leaves, etc., and be self-sufficient in the future.

The good thing about this place is that it’s close, and they returned home ten minutes later.

Su He went home and prepared for the meeting, and everyone was there in ten minutes.

"There are three things to announce at today's meeting. The first thing is that we have two new people joining Tianyuan Village. I'm sure everyone knows about them. They are Aunt He Huiru and He Chuchu, mother and daughter. Please welcome them."

The people in the kitchen immediately applauded in welcome. He Huiru and her daughter felt all of this with curiosity. This village seemed a little different.

"Okay, let's not waste any more time talking. The four thousand taels of joining fee given by Aunt He is already here with me. Miaomiao, tell everyone, how many people are there in our village, not counting Aunt He and the other person?"

Miaomiao stood up seriously and answered loudly.

"Including the one in my aunt's belly and my cousin's belly, that's 77 people."

Su He nodded with satisfaction and gave Miaomiao a thumbs up.

"Okay, then if we divide 77 taels among people, how much taels does each person get?"

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the hope for the future of Tianyuan Village and the little kids sitting in the front row.

Among them, Mu Tou, He Gong, Miao Miao and Tian Tian are the main ones.

Everyone in the room waited attentively for Mu Tou and the others to answer. They were all used to Su He's way of holding meetings, only He Huiru and the other two were still a little confused.

"Mother, how much silver is it?"

He Chuchu, who took her mother's surname, asked her mother excitedly. He Huiru rolled her eyes at her. She had figured it out, but she didn't say it.

"You figure it out yourself."

He Chuchu whispered that there was no abacus around her.

"Sister, add another four taels, and each person can get 52 taels."

Mu Tou calmly raised his hand to answer the question.

Su He smiled and nodded, but did not stop.

"Aunt, each of us gets 51 taels, and the remaining 71 taels can be given to Master Liu as a tuition. Master Liu's annual tuition is 60 taels, and if we buy some gifts, it should be enough."

Tiantian stood up and expressed her thoughts.

He Gong stood up and said, "Sister Lotus, I think that if each person gets 50 taels, there will be 150 taels left. We should celebrate in Tianyuan Village to celebrate the new people joining us. We welcome them. And, we can add the rest to our village's reserve fund. We can also buy some New Year gifts for the New Year to let everyone feel the warmth of our Tianyuan Village."

Miaomiao also stood up suddenly, and Su He was stunned.

No way, Miaomiao is going to use her ultimate move?

"Sister, I think what they said was very good. I suggest that everyone applaud."

After Miaomiao finished speaking, she started to lead the applause. Su He laughed. This sister always wanted to make a conspicuous bag.

Everyone laughed at once and started clapping in unison.

"Well, the dolls said it very well."

The atmosphere in the kitchen was quite lively. Grandma and grandpa were smiling from ear to ear. All three of them were their children, wasn't that great?

Su He let everyone get excited, then he put his left hand horizontally and his right hand vertically in a T shape.

After a while everyone fell silent.
