Steward Zhang glared at Steward Chen as if he was his enemy. He had a reason to do so. Even the nephew of the emperor didn't treat him that way. Even the third-grade minister didn't treat him that way. How dare you, a small steward of the Chen family, treat me like that?
Steward Chen smiled and looked at Steward Zhang with the eyes of a winner. Steward Zhang had already walked in front of Steward Chen, but he suddenly stopped. After thinking about it, he turned around and went back. He met Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said, "Little Young Master, Little Miss, let's go now."
Steward Zhang just suddenly thought, "Why should I talk to you first? I didn't go to you, so I turned around and came back. Steward Chen, if you want to talk, just say it. If you don't want to talk, then forget it. Anyway, you have to come later."
Steward Chen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and gently patted the invisible dust on his body with his hand. He took the initiative to come over and said to Steward Zhang, "Steward Zhang, my master said that he can give the Zhang family a chance. Go and find someone who can make the decision. If you miss this chance, there won't be a next time. You have to seize it well."
"Who is your master? Do you know me? But why don't I know you? What's your name? " Steward Zhang looked at Steward Chen indifferently and said disdainfully. Now he was the host, not to mention that the little young master and the little miss were beside him.
Steward Chen suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha, Steward Zhang, what's wrong? Are you scared? Do you feel ashamed? You failed to do what you wanted to do, so I came to find someone who can make the decision in your family. You feel ashamed? "
At this time, before Steward Zhang spoke, Zhang Xiaobao asked first, "Steward Zhang, who is this person? Why do I smell the stench of money all over my body? What about you, Cuckoo? "
"Me too. I don't have a good figure, good looks, temperament, talent, and taste. It's not his fault for being born like this, but it's his fault for wandering around." Wang Juan understood. Zhang Xiaobao was letting the butler vent his anger first, so he naturally knew what to say.
When Steward Chen heard what the two kids said and had to face their disdainful eyes, his face turned green and then white.
Steward Zhang, however, burst into laughter at the side. He looked gratefully at the Young Master and Young Madam and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, it's all my fault. In a moment, I'll tell the people over there that they can't let anything in. Please punish them."
At this time, Steward Zhang had an impulse to cry. The Young Master and Young Madam were really good. They helped him say these words that no one would have thought of. He didn't expect that these two little ancestors were not only good at making money, managing, and scheming, but also so good at insulting others. They were really like immortals.
Steward Chen felt bad for a while. Finally, he remembered who had the upper hand now. He tried to suppress the anger in his heart and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a smile, "You are the children of the Zhang family and the Wang family, right? How old are you? Where are your parents? "
"Where are you from?" Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Steward Chen and asked with a sneer.
"I am the steward of the Chen family in Zhuangzi." Steward Chen calmed down. He always felt a little absent-minded when facing the two kids.
"Oh, steward? I thought you were the head of the family. What does your master do? What rank is he? "Zhang Xiaobao asked again.
"My master doesn't have an official position. He specializes in big business." Steward Chen replied.
"Business? Businessman? You're not even a farmer? Don't you know that this is where the government lives? How can you be so unruly? Aiya, Xiao Bao, business is really bad. Look at his steward. How can he be a steward with this kind of appearance? Don't tell me that your sister is your master's concubine? "
At this time, Wang Juan said. Who said that the people of the Second Bureau wouldn't insult others? Wang Juan's innocent appearance made people vomit blood.
Wang Juan was just casually saying. She didn't know that Steward Chen was really her master's concubine. Her words were like a knife that stabbed into Steward Chen's chest. Steward Chen felt his vision go black and he almost fainted.
After shaking his head twice, Steward Chen couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "My master will give you a chance. As long as you promise to sell 30% of the rice to my Chen family at the normal price, my family will give you water and let you pass.
Think about it carefully. After you think about it, go to the Chen family and beg my master. Humph, you two kids, let me tell you, because of you, your family has to give 10% more rice. Originally, 20% was enough, but now it's not enough. "
After he finished speaking, he still felt angry and stared at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Wang Juan turned her head and didn't want to talk to this person. Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips: "Go back quickly. Ah, the outside world is not suitable for you. Now I'm telling you, because of what you said, the Chen family will go bankrupt. Take care of yourself. Steward Zhang, let's go. Why bother with a crazy person?"
As soon as Xiaobao finished speaking, the three of them walked towards the small river. Steward Zhang protected the two little ancestors who helped him vent his anger. From time to time, he would look back and smile at Steward Chen.
Steward Chen really wanted to beat the two kids, but he didn't dare. He felt that if he really rushed over, he might die here. He didn't know why, but he had this kind of idea. After standing there for a while, he turned around and left, waiting for the Zhang family to come to the Chen family to ask for help. Then he would take revenge.
When he turned around and left, in a pile of firewood twenty steps away from where he stood just now, a person put away the longbow in his hand and continued to lie down, half asleep.
In a tree hole on the other side, someone put down the crossbow, spat to the side, narrowed his eyes, and stopped moving.
"Steward Zhang, are you still angry? Later you can still make them angry, even their family head. "Zhang Xiaobao said to Steward Zhang.
"Little Young Master, Little Miss, today I did vent my anger. I didn't expect you and Little Young Master to be so powerful. I admire you. I'm not angry now. Which family's steward was wronged and the Little Young Master and Little Miss of the main family helped him? I'm so old, and I'm most grateful to my father and mother for giving birth to me in the Zhang family. "
Steward Zhang had already vented his anger, so he spoke incoherently. At the same time, he also knew the little ancestor's ability. He estimated that Steward Chen wouldn't be able to eat or sleep when he went back.
Zhang Xiaobao enjoyed Steward Zhang's flattery and said, "I left him for you. Otherwise, Cuckoo and I would have made him angry. Little Young Master."
"Yes, yes, Little Young Master is right." Steward Zhang didn't care whether Little Young Master was talking nonsense or really had the ability. Anyway, Little Young Master was right. The rest was up to him. Humph, was the Zhang family so easy to mess with?
The three of them talked and laughed as they came to the place where the explosion was going to happen. On the other side, there were already people preparing to fill the sandbags. Wang Juan was personally in charge of positioning and estimating the amount of gunpowder. She looked left and right and asked people to empty the place she was sure of. That was the shovel, and then the gunpowder.
A long line of gunpowder was pulled out and only stopped when it was 200 meters away from the other side. Everyone else dispersed. Wang Juan personally lit the fuse and watched as the line of gunpowder flew towards the other side. Accompanied by a loud boom, the remaining area was directly blasted open. Water flowed down the dug river.
The people on the other side threw sandbags down one after another. It didn't take long for the other side to be blocked.
The water in the river disappeared in an instant.
"Okay, now we just need to wait. Steward Zhang, I'll leave the things here to you." Zhang Xiaobao pulled Wang Juan and walked towards Between the Clouds and the Water.
Steward Zhang stood there in high spirits and waited. At first, he waited for a servant of the Chen family, but when he arrived, he didn't say anything. He looked at him and then turned and ran away.
After more than half an hour, more than 50 people appeared. The person in the front was Steward Chen. He walked and said something to the person behind him.
When they arrived, Steward Chen directly shouted to Steward Zhang, "Steward Zhang, what do you mean by this? Why did you block our side? "
"There hasn't been much rain recently. I'm afraid that Zhuangzi is short of water, so I blocked it." Steward Zhang now felt that life was too good. When he went there, that was what Steward Zhang said.
"Your river …"
"My river is jointly owned by the Wang family and the Ge family. This place belongs to both of our families. Why don't you sue us, Steward Ge?"
Steward Zhang wasn't anxious at all. He asked Steward Ge, who also came to help.
"Yes, that's right. There hasn't been much rain recently, so we have to block the river between our two families." Steward Ge said cooperatively.
Steward Zhang then said, "This river really can't be used anymore. Why don't you think of other ways? If you want to dig a well, we can help. We'll pay you the usual wages, and you'll have to eat and drink like how we treat the farmers."
When Steward Zhang said this, he pinched his leg hard with his hand. He was afraid that he couldn't help but laugh, so his face turned red.
This time, the people of the Chen Family were dumbfounded, especially Chen Gengxin and Housekeeper Chen. Housekeeper Chen told the Old Master about what happened that day. Chen Gengxin laughed at that time. He didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly.
Chen Gengxin glared fiercely at Housekeeper Chen and asked him to go up and plead for mercy. Housekeeper Chen had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and said to Housekeeper Zhang, "Housekeeper Zhang, look, our two farms are next to each other. We are neighbors, so we will have to help each other in the future. Do you think you can go easy on us?"
Steward Zhang was waiting for this sentence. He turned back and smiled at the people he brought. When he turned back, he cupped his hands and said to Steward Chen, "No, no.
"Don't, don't. The Zhang family's farmstead doesn't want to have anything to do with your Chen family's farmstead. The two original farmsteads are finished. What if they implicate you? Tomorrow, no, today, I'll get people to plant thorns there. Please be magnanimous and don't have anything to do with the Zhang family's farmstead."
