Chapter 66 Prepaid Wages

Liu Yiang put down the basket, then turned to Li Dechen and said, "There is no need to be too polite to Li Laozhan. Our Liu family does not have the rules of other families. If you have any questions, let's talk about it."

"Yes, let's sit down and talk about it if you have anything to do. Brother Li loves to abide by some rules. It's almost an hour since you came, but you still refuse to enter the house. It seems like the threshold of our Liu family is so high. Aren't you scolding our Liu family for not knowing how to treat guests?" Old Liu also persuaded him.

"No, no, Mr. Liu is so serious. The little old man has no such intention." Li Dechen waved his hand and explained: "The tenant farmers do not enter the hall. This is a rule passed down over the years. The boss is kind enough to take us in and give us food. The little old man really doesn't want to bring any bad luck to the boss. I just stand in the yard and say it. The boss has Master Liu and he doesn't need to care for me."

There are also such messy rules? When Liu Yi saw Li Dechen's stubborn look, he knew that he would definitely not enter the house again, so he asked Lao Liu to enter the house and moved out two stools and said, "Since Li Laozhan refuses to enter the house, let's talk in the yard. Please sit down."

Liu Yiuan reached out to signal to Li Dechen, then sat down first, and spoke, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Li came here?"

Li Dechen bowed to Liu Yi, then sat down on the stool, and said, "If you go back to the boss, the old man is here to make this year's spring plowing. Seeing that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the farmers in the village urged the old man to come here to find out when the boss will start plowing? We tenants are also ready."

Li Dechen said it very well and very tactful, but Liu Yiu still understood the meaning. The tenants were anxious to start work and had no money in their hands.

Think about it, it has been half a month since I last helped them, and the few hundred cents should not be spent much.

Liu Yi pondered for a while and said, "This year is a warm spring. It's just the first month of the year, and the land is showing signs of freezing. I think in another three or five days, the construction will almost start. At that time, Li Laozhan will gather more than a hundred male men and share them with the fields according to the number of people. Well, my thirty hectares of land are all wastelands and need to be reclaimed. At that time, I will have to work day and night to try to get all the land ready before spring planting. Go back and tell the villagers, so that they can all be prepared to grow their strength."

"Please rest assured that we tenant farmers are not good enough, but we have the strength to endure hardships and will never disappoint our boss." Hearing that there was work, Li Dechen smiled on his face full of frils. What's the fear of processing? When he was working with other farmers in the past, he didn't go to bed until midnight. Moreover, Liu Yi gave him overtime pay, so the more he added, the happier the tenant farmers would be.

"Well, that would be better." Liu Yiu stood up and said to Li Dechen: "Old Li will stay here for a while first. Liu enters the house to get something, and then go."

Li Dechen immediately stood up and bent down and said, "People please do whatever you want, don't care about the old man."

Liu Yi smiled and turned around and entered the house. In a moment, he walked out with a purse.

He handed the purse to Li Dechen and said, "There are 316 cents of silver here. You can take it back and distribute it to each tenant at two cents per person. It is my advance wage. Let each household spend this period of time first. I will pay the rest in one time in the next month."

Li Dechen took the purse and said with trembling hands: "Boss, why is this good? We haven't done anything yet? How about it?"

The purpose of his visit this time was actually for this. The hundreds of cents left by Liu Yi last time had been eaten up by hundreds of mouths. If Liu Yi didn't start work for them, they would have to be hungry.

But Li Dechen really couldn't speak out. It was not that he couldn't ignore his face, but that he had been rejected too much before and really didn't want to suffer this humiliation anymore. So just now he heard that the work would start in three or five days, so Li Dechen thought about letting the villagers get over for a few more days and then it would pass.

Now, Liu Yiu-yong is willing to give him the money on his own initiative, which makes him feel a little unaware of what to do. He is also grateful in his heart. Although the money will be deducted from his wages in the future, it will be difficult to get over these two days.

"Don't stop this and that one." Liu Yi said with a smile: "Although I, Liu Yi, is just a poor little lord, I cannot let my tenant farmer farm on hungry days. You can take this money back and give it to each family, so that they can take care of their family first. Well, in five days, you can bring them all here, and I will distribute the farm tools to you and recognize the land first."

"Thank you, my boss, remember the kindness of the boss." Li Dechen carefully put his wallet in his arms and promised Liu Yi: "Please rest assured about the farming land. The boss is here to make a guarantee for the boss. In the future, every family will do their best to farm for the boss. If anyone dares to neglect, I will not be the first to let him go."

"Haha, then it's a blessing for Li Laozhan." Liu Yi smiled. To put it bluntly, he was just a matter of the tenant farmers' dedication.

"You are welcome." After the matter was completed and the purpose was achieved, Li Dechen bowed to Liu Yiuan and said, "The old man is in a hurry to go back and tell all the villagers that he will not disturb the boss here. The old man will say goodbye first."

"Well," Liu Yi nodded and bowed to Li Dechen, "Then Li Laozhan will walk slowly, and you won't send him away."

When Li Dechen walked away, Lao Liu came up from the house and asked Liu Yi: "Yi, is the tenant who was going to farm for you just now? Well, right, farming is a good person. I feel relieved if you have such people in your tenant farmer."

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Dad, you are not familiar with him, how could you know he is a good farmer? Could it be that Dad can also show people's appearance? You can tell a person's past and future with a glance?"

Liu Laoshi didn't care about Liu Yi's jokes and said to Liu Yi: "Not as mysterious as you said. Dad always relies on these eyes when he sees people. Brother Li and I talked to him for nearly an hour in the yard, and I could see some clues."

Liu Yi smiled and said nothing. If Lao Liu knew how to see people, she would not have been coaxed by Xia Dezhang to buy a sick cow. He brought up the stool and said to Lao Liu: "Dad, let's talk about it later. I feel a little cold after being outside for so long."

"Yes." Lao Liu responded and followed him into the room.
