Chapter 382: Harvesting Grain
Those who dare to say in front of the Zhao family that the Zhao family is eccentric, I am afraid that except for the Ma family, there will be no second person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Second brother and sister, you don't have to say a word." Chen pulled Ma Shi and motioned for Ma Shi not to continue.
Ma only wants to be happy on his lips, where will he care about Chen. blurted out like pouring beans.
"Mother, I always say that I don't work, but when has Ah Li ever worked? Niang can't be too partial, otherwise it will be known by outsiders, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as saying that my mother is eccentric. ”
Zhao asked himself that he had always been fair, but now he was pointed at by Ma and said that he was unfair.
"Didn't Ah Li fix the leaky roof in your house?" Zhao asked.
"It's clear that she was cultivating with Youcheng at the time, and she didn't help much." Ma said dissatisfiedly.
"Your own house is leaking, and you don't know how to figure it out. Now there is still so much nonsense. "Zhao's attitude towards Ma is very disliked.
"Mother, here I and the third brother and sister can be busy, if the second brother and sister are not willing to help, forget it, there is no need to force it." Chen saw that his mother-in-law was really angry, and hurriedly said.
Ma Shi snorted coldly and said: "I don't need you Chen to be a good person here, who doesn't know what kind of heart you have, let me tell you about your little tricks, don't think that I really don't know." ”
Zhao was inexplicably by Ma's family, who was she in the way with a good heart? How can the second brother and sister be so unreasonable?
"Second sister-in-law, sister-in-law is also a good friend of you." Zhou's Road.
"If you don't want to work, then you can go back to your mother's house, go back to your mother's house to be your eldest lady who wears your clothes and stretches out her hands to eat, and we can't afford to support you like this." Zhao directly gave an ultimatum.
Seeing Zhao's ugly face, Ma said that it must be true to let him go back to his parents' house. I regretted it in my heart, and I knew that I should not have used this to squeeze Ah Li. And Ma Shi still remembers how he told his mother's family last time, saying that he would definitely find a way to tell Song Li to his nephew, and now his relationship with Song Li is becoming more and more stiff, and he wants to talk about this family business, but I'm afraid it's not so easy.
"Mother, I'm just joking with you, this washing vegetables is so easy, can't I still do it?" Ma took the vegetable pot in Zhou's hand and smiled flatteringly at Zhao.
Zhao was frightened by the change in Ma's attitude so quickly, "Then hurry up and wash the dishes!" ”
"Holo." Ma, who was originally reluctant to wash vegetables, suddenly went to wash vegetables happily, and he did not dislike the water cold. It's really weird.
"What do you two think?" Zhao asked.
Chen and Zhou both shook their heads at the same time, "I don't understand." ”
"Maybe the second sister-in-law figured it out by herself, but not necessarily, besides, the second sister-in-law is willing to work, and you should be happy." Song left the road.
"Alas. It's not that I have to let her work, but you look at her sloppy appearance, and I looked at the underwear she was wearing just now, as if she hadn't changed for four or five days. You say that women are so lazy that they can take care of their men? ”
When Chen and the others heard Zhao say this, a trace of discomfort flashed on their faces. Why did the mother-in-law still look at the underwear of the second brother and sister, but is what the mother-in-law said true?
Zhao also felt that what he said was a bit excessive, no matter how bad Ma was, he shouldn't expose her shortcomings in front of the other two daughters-in-law.
"I'll go out and take a look, maybe I'm lazy again." Zhao was a little embarrassed.
Ma Shi was holding the vegetables next to the well water, trembling and never started. As soon as the cold wind blew, Ma Shi complained even more bitterly in his heart. It's damn weather, so cold.
"Flowers, come and help my mother." Ma Shi saw Song Hua'er stretch out her head to look at herself, and immediately shouted.
Unfortunately, this scene happened to be seen by Zhao who stepped out of the threshold with half a foot.
"Why are there so many things to let you wash the dishes, how big are the flowers. On such a cold day, you can bear it? Zhao scolded.
Ma's eyes flickered, and he tried to justify: "Mother, I'm just joking with the flowers, how can I let the flowers help me." ”
In order to show Zhao's determination, Ma directly put his hand into the vegetable pot. The water that had just been beaten was still cold, "Hiss." Ma looked at Zhao with a bitter expression.
"Hurry up and wash it, your sister-in-law is still waiting." The Zhao family didn't care much about the Ma family, and after speaking, he took Song Hua'er's hand and entered the house.
The Song family was noisily preparing for the New Year, but a team of officers and soldiers was suddenly stationed in Huangliang Village, not far from Huoshui Village, and the people's houses were expropriated, and the people of Huangliang Village were required to hand over 3,000 deniers of grain within three days.
Although the villagers of Huangliang Village have been farming for generations, it is impossible for a village to gather 3,000 deniers of grain in three days.
"Sir, there are only more than 700 people in our village, where can we get enough food for 3,000 deniers." The village chief of Huangliang Village is negotiating with the leader of the soldiers stationed in the village.
I saw that the general, who was wearing jet-black armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a pair of military boots under his feet, ignored the village chief's pleas.
"This is an order, if you can't get together 3,000 deniers of grain, then exchange it for silver, otherwise I will order someone to burn the village directly."
The village chief said that the general was not only not moved in the slightest, but also threatened to set fire to the village if he didn't make enough money. What is the difference between these errand men and bandits?
The village chief went home in a huff, no, his home had been expropriated by the officials, and now he lived in Qiao's house, which was not far from his home.
"Village chief, what did those officials say?" Qiao Dalang's family has gathered a lot of villagers, and everyone was originally happily welcoming the arrival of the New Year, but the sudden change caught them off guard.
The village chief sighed, "They said that they asked us to prepare three thousand deniers of grain, and if we don't prepare well in three days, we will set fire to the village." The crowd was overwhelmed by this.
"Isn't this trying to force us to death, how can we get so much food, now the family is about to be unable to open the pot, these soldiers are still treating us like this, I don't think they need to set us on fire, let's just get a trouser belt and find a place to hang ourselves." Some villagers who didn't have much food left in their homes shouted.
"Village Chief, what do you think we should do? You can't just sit back at home. "Some families who still have a little surplus food are also worried, if they give this batch, maybe they will come back soon to collect the next batch.
"Everyone listens to me, now that these officials have guarded the entrance to our village, it is impossible for our villagers to get out. What's more, the people don't fight with business, and business doesn't fight with officials. How can we ordinary people be the opponents of these errands? The village chief raised his hand tremblingly.
