266 Taking Advantage Of Her
“This time, I used a different seasoning. Si Bao, the world is so big that there are countless delicacies. The same dish will taste different when cooked by different people. It’s not just the heat control but also the ingredients used. Sometimes, even the pot and side dishes will affect the final taste of the dish.”
Mo Ruyue explained in detail.
“Mother, is it the same logic to see a doctor and get medicine? Different people who are seeing the same illness may have an increase or decrease in a certain medicine, which will have different effects on the illness.”
Tang Tang suddenly interjected.
“Yes, in the end, personal experience and judgment are the most critical factors that will affect the final outcome of this matter. So, you must remember this when you do things in the future.”
The babies nodded their heads in agreement.
During the free time after the meal to digest the food, Da Bao found Mo Ruyue and handed her the ledger in his hand, saying, “Mother, today is the first time I collected rent. I feel that our original tenant, Old Li, is a dutiful person. He pays the rent on time and in quantity, so it’s not wrong to give him the land.”
“However, our Qin family’s two relatives, Fifth Uncle and Third Uncle, are not so honest. Especially Third Uncle. He took advantage of my young age. Not only did he tamper with the rent, but he also took the initiative and directly cut it in half. I was thinking that I won’t let them plant the land next year.”
He was talking about serious business, and he looked like he could make decisions.
“Aren’t you afraid that they’ll use their kinship and seniority to pressure you?”
Mo Ruyue asked with a smile.
“If they’re afraid, I’ll just take their rent and say nothing.”
Mo Ruyue was very satisfied with Da Bao’s answer. She immediately nodded and said, “I’ve already said that you’ll be fully in charge of this matter. I have no opinion on how to deal with it.”
When third uncle Qin came to pay the rent the next day, he was shocked when he heard the bad news that he wouldn’t be allowed to rent the land next year.
“Da Bao, what did you just say? You’re just playing with Third Uncle right?”
He asked in disbelief, eager to hear a definite answer.
“Third Uncle, why would I joke with you? It’s just that we only sign this contract once a year, and we’ll be signing a new contract after this year, so I decided not to sign it first.”
Da Bao still left some face for third Uncle Qin. Speaking of which, they were all relatives, so it would be easier to meet in the future if he left a line for them.
“Da Bao, don’t tell me you hate Third Uncle for what happened yesterday? Isn’t it just a little less rent? I’ve already made it up for you today, why are you still wasting money?”
Third uncle Qin was anxious. If he lost the land of the Qin family’s first branch, then it would be impossible for his family to even live in poverty.
“Third Uncle, how can you say that I hate you? We originally signed a one-year contract, which can be terminated at any time. Our land can’t be rented to you just because it’s dead. Da Bao can’t afford to bear the crime of bearing a grudge.”
Da Bao shook his head. It seemed that third uncle Qin was still the same as yesterday. He didn’t take him seriously at all.
“Then tell me, I’ve been managing this land for five to six years and it’s always been fine. Why do you want to take it back when it’s suddenly handed over to your family? You don’t even give me a reason.”
Third uncle Qin continued to ask, as if he had forgotten what he had done yesterday.
The smile on Da Bao’s face faded a little, and he could not help but sigh.
“Third Uncle, this land originally belonged to my first branch, but it had always been in Grandma’s Hands. Have you forgotten that my first branch is the real owner of these few acres of land?”
“It’s my own land, and I need the permission of the tenant before I give it to anyone. Do you want me to understand this? ”
“No, no, Da Bao, you’ve misunderstood.”
Third uncle Qin immediately came back to his senses and explained to Da Bao. Although he didn’t want to lower himself to a little kid, he could only endure it for the time being under the current circumstances.
“Third Uncle, what you mean is that although the contract was signed for a year, there was no problem. Now that you suddenly say that you can’t give me the land, how can I not be anxious? ”
“The whole family is relying on these extra acres of land to have a little food. Da Bao, can you bear to see Third Uncle’s family starve?”
Third uncle Qin changed his method and immediately softened his attitude. He began to use the trick of injuring himself.
He didn’t believe that if he put down his face and begged for mercy, Da Bao would take back his decision on account of their relationship as relatives.
“Third Uncle, you only harvested a little more than six piculs of corn from the three acres of land you planted. After deducting the rent you paid us, how much food do you have left? How many days will it be enough for you to eat? ”
“Do I have to apply half of it every time you pay rent? Third Uncle, if that’s the case, why would we need to sell our land? The grain we grow can only be recovered by a small amount. Even you can’t accept such a loss-making business, right?”
“If our land isn’t fertile enough, we can just take it back and think of a way to raise it. When it’s fertile enough, we can harvest more grain, right?”
Every word that Da Bao said was very reasonable, making third uncle Qin unable to refute at all.
It was only now that he realized that he had really looked down on Da Bao. the act of cutting the rent in half yesterday was the real reason for today’s outcome.
“Da Bao, Third Uncle was wrong. It was Third Uncle who was wrong! I shouldn’t have acted on my own accord yesterday. Can you forgive Third Uncle this time? Third Uncle knows how to farm and also know how to raise land. I guarantee that I can raise those three acres of land to be fertile. Next year, I’ll definitely give you a full amount of land to pay rent, okay?”
Third uncle Qin kept pleading, but Da Bao had already made up his mind, so he would not be swayed by his pleading.
If he had only hidden a small amount of rent yesterday, it would have been fine. After all, his family had a large population and there was not enough food to eat, but he could also give them a chance to redeem themselves.
But later on, he had taken the liberty to cut the rent by half. He had only informed them instead of discussing it, which had violated Da Bao’s taboo.
Since third uncle Qin couldn’t figure out who was the real master, Da Bao didn’t mind teaching him.
Indulging him once was giving him a chance to take advantage of him. Da Bao would never make such a mistake.
“Third Uncle, you don’t have to say anything. I’m just telling you the result, not asking for your consent. Don’t get it wrong.”
Seeing that Da Bao was determined to take back the three acres of land, third uncle Qin immediately jumped up with blood-red eyes.
“Da Bao, you little brat. You’re trying to take the lives of my entire family!”
As he spoke, he raised his fan-sized palm and was about to hit Da Bao’s face.
Originally, Da Bao thought that after they had made things clear, everyone would part on good terms. He didn’t expect that third uncle Qin would actually say that he couldn’t reason and still wanted to fight.
He stood firmly on the lower part of his body and easily dodged the slap with his waist strength. Then, he grabbed third uncle Qin’s arm and twisted it, putting his arm behind his waist.
