012 Selling vegetables
As expected, the Wang family came over to make a fuss, Su Wan asked her brother to tell her mother not to come out, remember to pretend to be sick, Wang had no choice but to scold and go to the field in person.
The three of them were busy harvesting their own fields, and put the grain in the cellar together with the relief grain issued by the imperial court.
Three days later, Su Wan clearly felt the unusual atmosphere in the village, and it was very dignified. I used to go to the mountains and come back to hear the sound of children reading, but I haven't heard it these days, she thinks it's the harvest season, and everyone is busy helping.
"Mother, don't sell Xiaohua, Xiaohua will work hard in the future and eat less, please."
Sister-in-law Zhang wiped her tears on the side, "Flowers! You also know the situation at home, and my mother has no choice but to sell you, otherwise we will not have to pay the taxes of the imperial court, the land will be confiscated, and the whole family will be driven out of the village. ”
"Mother, Brother Zhao don't leave you, woo, I don't want to go."
Looking at this scene, what else did Su Wan not understand? She couldn't help but be grateful to God for crossing into Su Wan's body, although her grandmother didn't hurt, her grandfather didn't love her, at least she had the love of her mother, and she wouldn't fall into the fate of being sold, the situation of Zhang's sister-in-law's family Su Wan was clear, she had three daughters and two sons, there was not much land at home, and her life was tight, Su Wan's sympathy for these girls was useless, she had no ability to help these girls, since the family was poor, don't give birth to so many children? Isn't this a child suffering?
Helplessly, he shook his head and pulled Su Feng's sleeve to go home, if he couldn't help, he should leave! Save yourself from feeling uncomfortable looking at these partings.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You can rest assured that your mother will not sell you, and your brother will not allow it. Su Feng saw that his sister was depressed, since his sister woke up, she has become very smart, and she feels very energetic, and it is the first time he has seen his silent sister.
"No, seeing these girls being sold, the future is uncertain, and some are worried and sad for them."
"Everybody has everybody's life, and when we earn money to help these people."
"Hmm." Su Wan sniffed and nodded. Oh, yes! What's the use of being sad now, the important thing is to find a way to change the current poverty situation in the village, the life of the villagers is better, and this kind of selling children and daughters naturally does not exist.
On this day, Su Limin came to the house with two officials.
"The second family's family has to pay taxes, if your family doesn't have me, I'll give you a cushion first."
Lin came out of the room and said with a smile: "The two officials wait a minute, wait for the little woman to get the food:"
The two officials waved their hands casually, "Go quickly!" We still have a lot of homes to visit, so don't delay our time. ”
"It's really unlucky, the village is too poor, and we haven't received much food, and I don't know if we will be punished when we go back."
"yes!"
Su Limin was waiting for the two officials beside him, and the Lin family took the two children to help load the grain, and the taxes of the imperial court increased by one bucket.
Let's just say that how can the imperial court be free, for this bucket of food, I don't know how many families in the village sell their children and create evil!
I remembered the poem I learned in elementary school, which was a five-character ancient poem written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen: plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn. There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death.
Since ancient times, there have been many corrupt officials, and there are still a few of these taxes that finally fall into the hands of the imperial court, only the people of the imperial court can know, and it is not strange to have layers of deductions, but it is just a pity for those children who have been sold, but who would think of these wandering people when they see the benefits?
Su Wan realized that she had been a little sentimental recently, hehe, my sister wants to change this status quo, my mother and brother's worries are not unseen, Su Wan, these emotions are not your character!
After paying the tax, the remaining grain can last, Su Wan stood in the courtyard with a small chin on her face, with a contemplative expression, her life has been good recently, Su Wan and Su Feng have flesh on their little faces, how cute is this expression.
"Sister Wan, what are you thinking?" Lin nodded his daughter's forehead funny, "Don't learn from adults at a young age, how old are you to be worried?" ”
Su Wan pointed to the courtyard wall of her house seriously, "Mother, it's late autumn, and it's about to be winter, Wanwan is thinking that the people in the village say that the wolves on the mountain will be hungry in winter to come down the mountain to find food, can our earthen wall stop the hungry wolves?" ”
When his daughter said this, Lin's actions were stunned, and he sighed in his heart, and looked at his own earthen wall, yes! How could she forget, it is not impossible for the wolf to enter the village in winter, if, if, she dare not think about it, how can she stop the hungry wolf with the orphan and widow, and her house is some distance from the village, even if it is too late to call for help.
"Sister Wan, don't worry about this matter, my mother will find a way, you go to play with my brother first, and I'll go to Aunt Zhang's house to ask how much money is needed for the courtyard wall."
After speaking, Lin ran out in a hurry.
Huhu, fortunately, my sister thought of it, am I easy? As an eight-year-old child, I still have to worry about this and there, touch my face, will it be old and old if it goes on like this! Ahh Sister, don't want it! I didn't have the opportunity to take care of my face in my previous life, but I must be beautiful in this life.
Quickly ran back to the room where he lived, thinking alone about the plan of how to protect his face, well, in his previous life, he only had a B cup, so God has eyes, in this life, he must have a good figure, good skin, and beautiful appearance, speaking of appearance, I have to say that the Su family, everyone is not an ugly person, as long as you are careful to protect nature, you don't need to worry.
When Lin returned home, he dug out the piggy bank from the corner of the wall, and poured it all on the bed and counted them one by one.
"What if that's not enough? You don't have to worry about winter clothes, well, you don't have new clothes today, even if you cook, you still have to pay more! ”
Su Wan didn't dare to disturb, listening to her mother talking to herself, she sighed, a penny is difficult for a hero, and a penny can force a family to death, in response to the sentence in her previous life: If you have money, you can go all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money.
It still makes sense to think about it, money, money, come to me!
The next day, Lin took the two of them to the town, she planned to hand in the embroidery work first, at least to be able to have some silver money to defend herself, and when the snow closed the road in winter, the embroidery work would be handed in after the snow melted tomorrow.
The three of them first went to Du Wenniang to hand over the embroidery work, and by the way, they received some more, and they embroidered slowly about a winter.
"Mother, is it okay if you want to go out for a walk later?" Su Wan stared at Lin with longing eyes, and Lin nodded, "You and your brother go around together!" ”
Su Wan was very excited, hehe, the greens and honeysuckle in the space can be sold, and as for the elder brother, he can completely support him.
"Brother, I think, I think"
It was the first time Su Feng saw his sister so stumbling, "What? ”
"People want to go to the hut."
"Oh well! There you go! Brother is waiting for you here. Su Feng's face was flushed.
Seeing it, she snickered in her heart, haha, my brother is so cute, I actually blushed, most of the men in ancient times are written in the novel, and they blush at every turn, and my sister finally saw it.
In order to hurry up, Su Wan saw that Su Feng didn't pay attention, so he secretly ran out, first went to Tonghetang to sell the honeysuckle, and then secretly bought a small basket and came to a no-man's corner into the space warehouse, put those many deadly vegetables into the basket, and held some of them to deal with some and found a restaurant to sell.
Su Wan was very helpless, she was afraid of wasting time and didn't bargain, such a good vegetable was sold cheaply by herself, just once, I really sold it cheaply this time, not next time, I must slaughter it well, she thought hatefully.
