Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 129 The First Time Being Called "Master"

Back at the village,

Zhuang Tou admired Lu Qingqing to the point of prostration.

The head of the farm said with a fawning expression:

"Madam, you are truly a Bodhisattva reincarnated."

Not only is he a highly skilled doctor, but he is also incredibly kind-hearted.

I have the utmost respect for you.

Lu Qingqing smiled gently.

"The head of the estate is someone who works in the estate."

I was just thinking of helping if I could.

The head of the village nodded repeatedly.

"Madam, after this incident..."

The people of the village will be completely devoted to you.

"Things on this estate will be much easier to manage from now on."

Lu Qingqing nodded slightly.

"We still need everyone to work together."

"Manage the estate well."

The head of the farm quickly agreed:

"You are right, madam. I will do my best."

Just then, several peasant women came over.

They were all holding something in their hands.

The head of the farm immediately stood up and said:

"Madam, although most of the land has been rented out..."

However, a small portion was left.

We grew some fruits and vegetables ourselves.

These are all vegetables and fruits produced on our own farm.

Please try it.

Lu Qingqing looked at the table laden with fruits and vegetables.

I was extremely happy.

She first gave each of Lin Qingshan and his two sons an apple.

Then he took one for himself.

She took a small, gentle bite.

The taste is pretty good.

She watched as the head of the village and the others remained motionless:

"Boss, you should all try some too."

The taste is not bad.

The head of the farm was somewhat flattered and said:

"Madam, this is not appropriate. Please use it first."

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Please don't be shy, everyone, have a taste."

This is also an achievement of our Zhuangzi.

The head of the village watched as Lin Qingshan and his two sons began to eat heartily.

Seeing this, they were no longer restrained.

They all picked up the fruits and began to taste them.

The room was filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.

Zhuang Tou said with a smile:

"lady,

Previously, the fruits and vegetables we grew ourselves were all taken home by our masters.

"What are your plans, Madam?"

Lu Qingqing looked at the fresh fruits and vegetables,

After a moment's thought, he asked:

"About how much?"

The head of the farm answered truthfully:

"Madam, there are several carts."

Moreover, the things they grow are all different.

Almost every month there are different kinds of green vegetables available.

We should be able to receive them until around October.

Lu Qingqing pondered for a moment and said:

"I'll take one carload later, as for the rest..."

A portion was kept for the villagers to use themselves.

Some were taken to the market to sell.

"Exchange some money to subsidize the estate's expenses."

The head of the farm nodded in agreement:

"Madam, that's a good idea."

However, this sale still needs careful planning.

Lu Qingqing nodded slightly:

"I'll leave this matter to you to arrange."

"You can decide what to do."

The head of the farm quickly agreed:

"Please rest assured, Madam, I will certainly handle it well."

Then, Lu Qingqing picked up the ledger again and continued to look through it.

The head of the farm explained in detail the income from these 100 acres of fertile land.

Zhuang Tou said:

"lady,

This year, the yield of rice per mu is about 800 jin.

The profit is about three taels of silver.

After deducting the costs of seeds, fertilizers, and labor,

The net profit per mu can be more than two taels of silver.

Lu Qingqing asked:

"So how much profit did we actually receive?"

How much is left now?

The head of the farm quickly replied:

"lady,

The total income from these 100 mu of fertile land was 320 taels of silver.

Excluding all expenses,

There's also the twenty taels that the Zhao family owes.

There are still about 260 taels left.

Lu Qingqing frowned slightly, thinking to herself,

This year, besides Linjia Village,

No one knows the method for double-cropping rice yet.

Therefore, if the rice harvest is doubled next year,

She can earn at least five hundred taels of silver.

Thinking about it that way, it's actually not so bad.

Even if I do nothing in the future

They earn at least several hundred taels of silver each year.

Zhuang Tou looked at Lu Qingqing's thoughtful expression.

He asked cautiously:

"Madam, are you worried about the profits from the estate?"

Lu Qingqing came to her senses, shook her head, and said:

It's not that I'm bothered, but rather that I'm troubled.

They were just planning for next year.

The head of the farm hurriedly said:

"Your wife is intelligent; she will surely make Zhuangzi better and better."

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly:

"Thank you for the good words, village head."

However, we need to think of more solutions.

The head of the farmhouse asked in surprise:

"Could it be that Madam already has a plan?"

Lu Qingqing then told him about the second crop of rice.

Upon hearing this, the headman's eyes widened in disbelief.

His face was filled with disbelief:

"lady,

Is... is this plan for a second crop of rice really feasible?

Lu Qingqing nodded confidently:

"We've already tried it in Linjia Village this year, and the results are good."

As long as we prepare well

Next year will surely bring a good harvest.

The head of the village was so excited that his hands trembled:

"Madam, if it were truly so..."

That would be a great blessing for Zhuangzi!

Lu Qingqing smiled:

So next year,

We need to prepare seeds and fertilizer in advance.

We also need to make proper arrangements for manpower.

The head of the farm quickly replied:

"Rest assured, Madam, I will make proper arrangements!"

at this time,

Those peasant women who had just left returned.

"Madam, the meal is ready."

You may begin your meal now.

Lu Qingqing nodded:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The head of the village busied himself leading the way:

"Madam, please."

The group arrived at the dining room.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast.

After Lu Qingqing sat down, she said:

"Everyone, don't be shy, come and eat with us."

Lu Qingqing greeted everyone warmly.

The head of the farm hesitated for a moment:

"Madam, this is probably against the rules."

Lu Qingqing smiled:

"Head of the village, what rules and regulations are you talking about?"

There aren't so many rules in this village.

Everyone sit down.

You are here managing this hundred acres of land.

I know it's not easy for you.

Zhuang Tou was moved to tears by Lu Qingqing's few words.

His voice trembled as he said:

"Madam, you are so considerate of us."

We will definitely redouble our efforts.

We will not let you down.

Lu Qingqing said softly:

"I understand, Master Zhuang, please sit down and eat."

Zhuang Tou wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and slowly sat down.

The peasant women also chimed in:

"Madam is such a kind person."

We will definitely work hard.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"good,

Then let's all work together to make the estate even better.

Lu Qingqing served food to Lin Qingshan.

"Dad, you should try this dish too, it's quite delicious."

When Zhuang Tou heard Lu Qingqing call out "Dad,"

Only then did I realize that these people were actually my master's family members.

He had assumed these were all people working for their master.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately stood up and bowed to everyone.

"It's my fault for not recognizing your greatness."

They didn't even know it was the master and his various masters.

I have offended you greatly, and I hope you and your masters will forgive me.

The head of the village apologized with a look of fear on his face.

Lin Qingshan smiled and waved his hand:

"Boss, there's no need to be so polite, please sit down."

The head of the village then carefully sat down.

He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't said anything wrong.

It wasn't until the head of the village saw how harmoniously this family got along that he...

Only then did Zhuang Tou realize that this lady was truly approachable.

He sighed inwardly:

"In the past, which of those masters wasn't high and mighty?"

He bossed his servants around.

This lady is quite something,

They were not only kind to us servants,

They are especially caring towards their own family members.

Being able to follow such a master

"This is truly a blessing from my past life."

As I thought about it,

Zhuang Tou looked at Lu Qingqing with even more admiration and gratitude.

After dinner,

The head of the village went to arrange for people to load fruits and vegetables onto the oxcart.

Only Lu Qingqing and her family remained in the courtyard.

Lin Qingshan said happily:

"My dear, your father has lived most of his life..."

This is the first time I've been called "Master" today.

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Dad, there will be many more days like this in the future."

Lin Qingshan nodded with satisfaction:

"It's all because Qingqing is capable."

"It has brought such a good life to our family."

At this moment, sunlight streamed into the courtyard.

It reflects the happy smiles of the family.
