After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

Duan Kunshan stood in the crowd, and when he saw the Du family father and son, he stepped forward with a smile and introduced them: "Du Qingyuan, these are the Duan family members who have returned from the capital. Duan Yuexiu is the son of Master Duan. This is his wife."

In front of the Duan family and the villagers, the Du family did not dare to cause trouble.

Du Qingyuan stepped forward, put on a smile, cupped his hands towards the Duan family and said, "I know, this is a relative of my Du family."

Duan Mingjing looked at the father and son in front of him unhappily. Seeing that the older man's clothes were messy and his shoes were on backwards, he immediately thought that the old man might be lying on the bed and just getting up.

What a grandeur!

The emperor didn't even dare to lie down at this point, this old man can sleep so well! He didn't have to worry about food and clothing by eating their land rent, so he immediately glared at you and said, "Who is related to you? How shameless!"

Duan Mingjing's shameless words made everyone in the village unable to hold back their laughter. The faces of the Du family, father and son, instantly turned blue and white.

Qiao Lan glared at her second son, "Be polite!"

Duan Mingjing immediately put away his anger and stood aside helplessly with his lips curled up.

Qiao Lan: "I wonder which of the two is in charge of the Du family?"

Du Qingyuan stepped forward with a pale face and whispered: "I am."

Now that the person in charge is here, this matter can be settled easily! Qiao Lan immediately revealed her identity and said that she was Duan Yuexiu's wife, "I brought my children and grandchildren here today because I came here for the two hundred acres of land in my hometown."

"My late husband told me about this when he was still alive. Our ancestors were married, so they entrusted the old house in the country to the Du family to take care of. The late husband rented out the land in the old house, and the rent was given to your family.

..." Qiao Lan said slowly.

These words aroused the amazement of the villagers. Most of them knew that the Du and Duan families were related. The Duan family was not in the village, and the rent was collected by the Du family.

But they always thought that the Du family collected the money on behalf of the Duan family. They never expected that Duan Yuexiu was so generous and gave all the land rent to the Du family!

The exclamation made Du Qingyuan's face even more ugly!

He thought that he could not escape and letting the Duan family take back the land would be the biggest concession. Who knew that the woman from the Duan family was so powerful that she brought a whole village of people over and told the story.

Qiao Lan: "My late husband said that the rent for this land would be one year's rent, but he never thought that the villagers would give him the money for several years."

When money was mentioned, Du Qingyuan's expression turned ugly.

"When our family came back this time, we wanted to take back all the land we rented to the village. Unexpectedly, the villagers rented it for several years at a time. It was my late husband's decision to give this money to the Du family. I won't take it. But I owe it to the village.

People’s rent is not what our family should pay.”

"Master Du, I wonder what your plans are?" Qiao Lan asked.

In terms of seniority, she was the same generation as the man in front of her. Calling him Master Du was Qiao Lan's own accomplishment.

But if people are rude, she doesn't need to be polite.

Du Qingyuan's face darkened for a moment and he hesitated: "This... this... money... really should be given to me by my family."

Qiao Lan showed a kind smile: "Then please Master Du, please settle the money today! Return the overcharged rent to the villagers..."

"I..." Du Qingyuan didn't expect Qiao Lan to be so aggressive.

The rent for several years is not a small amount, and most people in the village pay it all at once, fearing that they will not be able to rent it in the coming year. For this reason, Du Qingyuan received many gifts from the villagers in private.

He glanced at the crowd of people standing in his yard, and then at the Duan family.

If he dares to say no today, I am afraid that the Duan family will not let him go easily.

I could only endure it and said: "Okay, I'll go to the backyard to get the money."

Seeing that Du Qingyuan left, Qiao Lan turned to Duan Kunshan and said, "Village chief, please go to the village and call the big guys. If anyone has paid more rent, come to Du's house to collect it."

Duan Kunshan: "Don't worry, old lady, I've asked my descendants to call."

Land is extremely important to the people. Many people who live in the same village are related to each other. When they heard about the Du family's withdrawal of land rent, they all came over to join in the fun.

Duanjia Village is not considered wealthy. The villagers have plenty to eat and have neat clothes.

They have no objection to the Duan family wanting to take their land back. In their hearts, the Duan family is a big official family and is not someone they can afford to offend.

Besides, people from all over the country were envious of the fact that the family rented land to the villagers at a low price. Everyone has been grateful for this benefit for many years.

But there is something that must be mentioned.

A man stood up and said, "Mrs. Duan, if you want to take back the land, what will happen to the rapeseed seedlings I just planted at home? The rapeseed seedlings have just taken root and will have to grow until next spring..."

Qiao Lan naturally understands this man's concerns.

Life is not easy for everyone. Besides, others only rent the land, so there is no reason to give away the food they have worked so hard to grow.

Qiao Lan: "Don't worry. Those who are planting things in your fields will return them to my house after harvesting. I will plant the fields next year, so there is no rush now."

The man was very grateful after hearing this, "Thank you, old lady! The old lady is really kind-hearted!"

After hearing this, people who were still worried at first are now relieved. The Duan family is still easy to talk to.

After Du Qingyuan brought the money box back, he collected the money one by one and went back with peace of mind.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, the Duan family planned to leave and go home for lunch.

There were not many people in the village, and the two hundred acres of land were divided among about twenty households. With Duan Kunshan watching over him, Du Qingyuan paid off the land rent very quickly.

People leave empty, and the money box is also empty.

Du Dalang looked mournful: "Dad, it's gone, the money is gone!"

The rent of two hundred acres is not a lot. After the Du family began to live a rent-collecting life, the sons and daughters of the family became more and more lazy, relying entirely on the land rent to survive.

This field rent was not collected that year!

Most of the money was squandered by the Du family, and a small part was left to educate their children and grandchildren.

Du Qingyuan let go of the money box in his hand, and a few copper coins fell out of the box and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

"No more..." Du Qingyuan murmured in pain.

He clutched his chest, rolled his eyes, and fell straight to the ground. However, Du Qingyuan did not faint, but at this moment, he preferred to faint and nothing would happen.

The Duan family doesn't care about the situation of the Du family.

After lunch, Qiao Lan asked her family to send something to Duan Kunshan.

Duan Mingjing: "Mom, do you really want to send these over?"

Duan Mingjing looked at the bacon and some small gifts on the table. Although they were not expensive, their family was so poor that they didn't even have meat for lunch, but now they wanted to give the meat to other people's homes.

Duan Mingjing felt that Duan Kunshan was just a village chief, and as a member of his own family, there was no need to warm up to them.

There is also the thigh of Mr. He and the token of the Yu family!

Qiao Lan nodded: "Send it over. If there was no help from the village chief today, things would not go so smoothly."
