Chapter 689: The Art of Controlling People

As the saying goes, youth is a good time, but idleness is a waste of time.

"Shuren has been with you in the duck farm for a while, so he should have no problem taking care of the ducks. Since you want to buy some more ducklings, go to the Zhao family workshop tomorrow morning to check, for fear that they will not dare to hatch after the season has passed."

Ducks are the most troublesome when they are young. Once they grow up and adapt to the environment, they will be fine.

Hearing his mother's tone, Xiao Si scratched his head, "Hey~, I'll go early tomorrow morning."

I thought his mother would say he bit off more than he could chew, but I didn't expect her to agree immediately.

Hearing Xiao Si's voice, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of her lips, turned back home, and prepared a purse for him with five strings of money in it. This is the first time he goes out of the town, so let Wenyou accompany him first.

When he is familiar with it and has more experience, he can be assigned a servant to follow him, and that will be fine.

Bai Yunxi looked up, saw that the weather was good, took the fishing rod and the bench, called Ruanruan, and went to the river together.

I haven't been fishing for a while, so I just went to the river to get some fresh air today.

As an adult dog, he has an IQ as high as that of an eight or nine-year-old child, and he is no longer as easy to fool as he was at the beginning.

Occasionally, when the family is busy, the soft dog can be responsible for delivering meals.

Whether it is in the field or the duck farm, as long as he is told, he will never make mistakes.

In a flash, Bai Yunxi felt the fishing rod in his hand tremble, and he quickly lifted it up. A crucian carp with a green-gray luster jumped out of the water, was thrown on the grass, and fluttered over.

Without waiting for Bai Yunxi to get up, the soft dog pounced over and directly brought the crucian carp to the owner.

"You are smart. The first one is a meat for you. Take it and eat it." Bai Yunxi removed the hook and looked at the drooling at the corner of its mouth, and couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.

After re-hanging the bait and throwing it into the river, Bai Yunxi turned his head to watch the soft dog eating happily, and then went back to continue fishing.

Until Wenyou drove the ox cart and turned into the village, Bai Yunxi looked at the bucket and saw that there were more than ten palm-sized fish.

In addition, there were a few yellow horseradish, just enough to make a soup.

"Wenyou, here."

Bai Yunxi waved at her, packed up the fishing rod, and carried the bench. Wenyou came over with the bucket, and they went home together.

"Wow, mother, so many fish."

Li stared at the bucket with sparkling eyes, almost swallowing her saliva,

"We caught a lot of fish today, go back and pack them up, and grill the fish in the yard in the afternoon. Kill a chicken and make some ribs to celebrate our increase in industry."

Bai Yunxi saw her greedy look and suggested with a smile.

"Okay, okay, we haven't had barbecue for a while. I can't help drooling when I think of the delicious smell.

In front of her mother-in-law, Li has never been polite.

Looking at her greedy eyes, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but gently pinch her cheek,

"Little greedy cat, just like I'm starving you."

"Hehe... Mother is the best to us." Li persuaded Bai Yunxi's arm, tilted her head and rubbed her shoulder, looking intimate.

Wenyou looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her eyes softened a lot. It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but when it comes to Aunt Bai, everything seems to be non-existent.

Back home, Wenyou brought the bucket to the well, and Bai Yunxi told Du,

"Let's have barbecue tonight, let's get ready. I see there are a lot of fish, so I'll send two to your third grandmother and Aunt Song. We'll grill the rest."

"Hey~, mother, don't worry, I'll go prepare it now. "

Mrs. Du tied on an apron and started to work. Mrs. Li came over to help, but she sent her away.

"You are too heavy now, so you don't need to do these. Chunhua is enough to help you. You can rest and don't bump into anything."

Mrs. Li stroked her belly, looking embarrassed. "Since I got pregnant, my sister-in-law won't let me help. I have to eat ready-made food every day. I have become thick-skinned."

"Pfft~, don't talk nonsense to me. Yaya is the only grandchild in our family. She is indeed lonely. We are waiting for you to give Yaya a companion."

Mrs. Du gave her a glare, quickly picked up four fish of similar size and put them in a basket, and gave it away.

Bai Yunxi saw that they had a good relationship with each other, so she didn't participate in the topic. She sat down on the porch to rest her feet and drink some water to moisten her throat before looking at Bai Anyan.

"How is it? Is it going well? "

"Don't worry, mother, we have replaced all the new rent documents, and it went smoothly... There was a little problem in the middle, but we handled it."

Bai Anyan said, looking at Sister Wen who was sitting by the flower bed and playing with the dog, his eyes full of admiration and worship.

It must be said that mother has a good vision, and she met such a powerful person as Sister Wen.

When the tenants in Xiaowangzhuang learned that they had bought the land of Mr. Wang's family, they immediately asked whether they would rent it for a long time. Only two families wanted to reduce the rent when the rent documents were replaced.

Unfortunately, as soon as the man acted arrogantly, Sister Wen grabbed his arm and made him kneel down and beg for mercy without saying a word.

Thinking of this, Bai Anyan puffed out his chest and stared at Bai Yunxi with full momentum, his eyes burning.

"It was still mother who had foresight to let Sister Wen follow me to show strength. I didn't expect that there were also people with ulterior motives among the tenants, thinking that they would fish in troubled waters because of the change of the owner. "

Sister Wen used only one move to shock the entire Xiaowang Village, and no one dared to make trouble anymore.

Listening to the second brother's tone, Bai Yunxi raised an eyebrow, "Is there really someone who dares to make trouble?"

"It's not really a disturbance. There was a man named Wang Huzi who thought that the owner had changed, and wanted to persuade us to reduce the rent for them. I didn't agree, and the rent remained the same. He then joined forces with the tenants to refuse to sign the document."

Bai Yunxi was silent. Joining the tenants to embarrass the boss? You are so brave. Aren't you afraid that she will be angry and take back the land directly?

Ha~, that's right. The second son looks honest and simple, and he has been doing farm work all year round. In their eyes, they may think that the second son is a nouveau riche and want to scheme against him.

Sure enough, no matter who they are, they like to bully the weak and fear the strong, and pick the weak persimmons.

It's really ridiculous to think about it. At present, the land belongs to their Bai family. If they don't sign a new lease document, they will automatically give up the lease, which will save them trouble.

At worst, they can recruit a few more tenants, or hire a few long-term workers to work first. A hundred acres of land is not just one hectare. It's stupid to want to unite and isolate the boss.

"These are all small things, just treat them as training. In the future, when the family has more land and more people of all kinds, you will get used to it."

"Mother is right. Today, my son has learned a lot. If it weren't for their clan leader who stopped the clan members and scolded them, and begged for my forgiveness, we would have returned at that time and not spoiled them."

Bai Anyan chuckled. The family has land, so are you afraid that it can't be rented out?

At most, you can hire a few long-term workers to work, anyway, it won't be abandoned.

Listening to the second son's voice, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of his lips. It's good to have such awareness.
