Chapter 43: Earth Dragon

The matter of Du Wanwan's resignation did not spread in the Thirteen Mile Bridge, and even Du Qiang's father and daughter thought that Du Wanwan was still honestly staying in Licheng and helping in the restaurant.

As soon as Du Yu came back, the people in the village exploded, and a few days ago they were talking about people's unfilial piety, who knew that today the little lady drove the carriage with the maid and returned to her hometown in fine clothes. Because the carriage rushed directly to the door of Du's house, the neighbors didn't know if Du Yu had brought any good New Year's gifts when he went home this year, but the carriage was there, and it wouldn't be too bad.

Du Qiang was looking forward to Du Yu going home soon, but when Du Yu came back, Du Qiang ushered in an even greater disappointment.

"What are you talking about! You still dare to take money from your family?! How can your family have money for you!" Du Qiang never expected that his daughter, who was enjoying happiness in Licheng, would actually go home and stretch out his hand to ask him for money! He had worked hard to support her, and he didn't enjoy any blessings, and now he even wanted to go home and drag him down, there was no reason for this! At this moment, both he and Du Li forgot the silver money given by Bian Cheng before, and forgot the luxurious life they had not long ago.

"Oh! A white-eyed wolf! I wear gold and silver in the city to enjoy happiness, and I don't bring anything good to Lao Tzu Niang when I go home, so I want to pull it into my arms! My conscience has been eaten by dogs! Pity our old couple for raising you with and urine, and you will repay us like this!" Du Li cried miserably, and his voice shook the sky. In fact, she was also aggrieved in her heart, since Du Yu had no news, Du Qiang saw that her nose was not a nose, her eyes were not eyes, and she didn't have a good face all day long. Du Li knew that Du Qiang was careful about wanting his son, but now that he is old and decrepit, even if he has that heart, he has no ability to have another fat son!

Originally, this mother had no status at home, who knew that the daughter she raised as a baby was still so uncompromising, and she lived such a good life in the city, and she still wanted to pick up her mother's money.

"Okay! No, no, why cry! Didn't I give you money some time ago? Now that I'm down, and my mother's family can't borrow any strength, you really ruthlessly let me die outside!" Du Yu became more and more aggrieved the more he spoke. In the end, she sat there sobbing and cried and wiped her tears, crying against her mother.

Since Du Qiang listened to Du Wanwan's words, he didn't believe that his daughter would be down, how could that Bian Langjun be obsessed with his daughter. It's not like he hasn't seen it. He is also a man himself, a stunner like his daughter, which man doesn't want to, how can he be willing to throw it aside?! So, these are all excuses for Du Yu not to take money. It's all a lie!

Du Yu cried for a while, but felt that it was not interesting. Who are her parents, she still knows in her heart, their family is the same character, selfish and cold, only thinking about themselves, even if they are relatives who are connected by blood, they have to stay behind!

"I had a little conflict with Bian Cheng, he was new to other little ladies, so he cut off my expenses. If you really don't want to live a poor life like you used to be, think of ways to get me some money first. I've heard that there are people in the city who sell flour cream and fat powder from the capital. It's useful, when I make Bian Cheng change his mind, you still don't have a good life?"

To say that her father and mother treated her badly in the past, it is false, on the contrary, her father and mother used to be very good to her, and she was also raised as a pearl in her palm. In the past, there were a lot of conditions at home, and life was hard, but her father and mother loved her from the bottom of their hearts. But after the big dry, everything changed. They began to eagerly pursue money and desperately wanted to live a life of superiority. Her parents' love for her has long been less than before, and she is even suspected of selling her daughter for glory.

If it was a suspicion in the past, it is now certain......

Du Qiang saw that what his daughter said didn't look like it was fake. But she was convinced of Du Wanwan's words, after all, she said to let Du Yu come back, wouldn't Du Yu come back?

"Let's believe you again, you will be rich and noble in the future, but remember that you still have a father and mother to raise!" No matter what, my daughter still can't be offended now. Let's believe it again!

Winter in the southwest passed unconsciously, and as the willows pumped, the grass turned green, and the rivers opened, people became more and more nervous because spring was coming.

The capital's new tax law for the southwest began to be implemented shortly after the end of the year. In addition, the southwest was sparsely populated before, and as soon as the spring began this time, there were more people who bought land to go to the official office to build a red deed, and they all wanted to take advantage of the new tax law to buy more money.

Du Qiang didn't know what method he used, so he scraped together some money for Du Yu, and Du Yu left without staying at home for a few days. When the land was divided, Du Qiang did not mention Du Wanwan again, but generously paid more than ten acres of land, which was near the small courtyard where they lived.

Despite the easing of the new tax law, the rumors of the earth dragon turning over are too powerful, coupled with the failure to effectively control it at the beginning, and now that it is spring, people everywhere are panicking, and hoarding grain and salt abound. Didn't you say that the salt-producing places will also suffer!

For a while, the price of grain and salt in Licheng soared, and in this way, the grain and salt on the market were still out of stock.

Du Wanwan's left hand had been raised, but he never returned to the restaurant. Recently, the grain and salt were out of stock, and she originally wanted to get some grain and salt from the system to cash out, but was severely stopped by Yan Shao.

"You won't settle accounts after the autumn when you become the imperial court? No matter how much you earn now, you can't stop the imperial court from making you bleed after the disaster!

What Yan Shao means is that you have sold a lot and made a lot of money now, and when it is time for disaster relief, then you should make a little more effort! What? Don't want to? Okay! Then all your property will be confiscated! This kind of thing is not unprecedented, and it has happened many times in this dynasty alone. However, driven by profits, people often lose their minds, so there are many businessmen who raise food prices now.

Du Wanwan listened to the persuasion and honestly followed Yan Shao to prepare the matter of the shop. She was still a little strange, it seemed that from the very beginning, Yan Shao was sure that it was true that the dragon turned over, and it was not a rumor that the floods continued, everything he was doing now was preparing for the disaster. Du Wanwan didn't go stupid to get to the bottom of it, she did whatever Yan Shao asked her to do, and she didn't complain at all. Yan Shao is still slandering these days, could it be that the incident last time scared this little girl? Obviously, she found something wrong, but she didn't dare to ask.

But that's good, at least, he doesn't have to bother making up stories to perfunctory her......

Just when the people of the southwest were about to forget about the turning of the earth dragon, a serious earthquake occurred in Yongzhou, countless houses collapsed, and the people were killed and injured. This message came true, and it seemed that the emperor of the capital city had also confirmed the reputation of mediocrity and incompetence.

After the earthquake, the courtiers were anxious, who knew that the southeast boundary actually flooded at this moment, and several salt-producing state capitals were all ......

The imperial court had no choice but to issue a new decree again: "Reform the currency system, exchange silver for copper." When the major silver trumpets recycled copper coins, they exchanged nine strings of money for one or two silver!" As soon as the decree came out, the people went crazy......

Du Wanwan sat in Yan Shao's house, counting the copper plates in his hand, and sneered boredly: Sure enough, there is meat to eat with Yan Shao! )
