Chapter 10 Lost Money
I have to say that people like Huang have an indescribable stubbornness. And this stubbornness is obviously offensive. Not to mention that in this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, even in modern society, women's self-assertion will also make men dissatisfied.
This time, it was obvious that Huang was carried away by the interests and acted in a play with her brothers to cheat the family of money. After being exposed by Yang Qingnian, the Huang family not only did not admit his mistake, but was justified! At this point, not only Yang Qingnian, but also Yang Shan felt that this woman was really weird.
And Yang Qingnian said that the person surnamed Qian will not be like this for no reason, Yang Shan also agrees, everything has a reason, to paraphrase a Buddhist saying: there must be a cause if there is an effect.
Not to mention the family surnamed Qian, even a young man like Yang Shan, who claims to be a "good person", will also care about gains and losses when doing things, which is the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I'm afraid that Huang's trouble is still to come.
Yang Qingnian and the Huang family quarreled for two days, and Yang Shan and Yang Yu had a hard time in the past two days. One is a father and the other is a mother, and neither of them wants to offend. Although they knew who was wrong, Yang Shan and Yang Yu dared to point at Huang's nose and say that she was wrong?
On the third day, Yang Shan and Yang Yu came home from school. Hearing someone discussing something at the entrance of the village, Yang Shan didn't care about it, but when he heard the "Qian family", he naturally slowed down.
"Yes, the people of this Qian family must have heard something, otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly sold the land at a low price." This person Yang Shan doesn't know, and he probably isn't from Yangjiazhuang.
Another person also sighed twice: "That's for sure, now that the imperial court wants to expropriate the land back, what can we do in the future?" This person Yang Shan remembers as if he was from the village.
However, Yang Shan was obviously stunned when he heard the conversation between the two of them, where did he bother to think about who these two people were? Yang Shan's mind is now spinning fast: the Qian family knew in advance that the imperial court was going to requisition the land, so they sold the land at a low price first. Huang and her family have now bought a field, and this land cannot be taken for themselves, so all the money spent on buying the land has been wasted.
Yang Shan's mind turned for a while, frowning and thinking: Then the imperial court won't give a penny? If that happens, how will the people who have lost their fields live?
Yang Shan was thinking about this question, and someone replied to her, and the two people who had discussed it before spoke: "Only 30% of one acre of land will be given according to last year's harvest...... Isn't this about pushing us to a dead end? These words were worried, and Yang Shan felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
It's time to hear it, Yang Shan didn't mean to stay any longer, and when he raised his eyes, he didn't know where Yang Yu was going at this time. Yang Shan tightened his speed and hurriedly walked back.
Yang Shan felt that the atmosphere was not right when he got home, and after walking into the bedroom, Yang Yu also sat honestly on the edge of the bed without making a sound. And the Huang family was crying with a sad face at this time. Yang Qingnian smoked a dry cigarette, and for a while, only Yang Qingnian's rattling sound was heard in the whole room.
Yang Shan saw Huang's appearance like this, and he didn't know whether he was happy or distressed for a while. After thinking about it, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and sure enough, there was not the slightest smell of fireworks in the kitchen, Yang Shan thought about it and shouted: "Yang Food!" Come out and help me cook. β
Let's talk about other things later, it's important to save Huang's face first. If the two quarrel and they are in it, Huang will lose face, and the score will outweigh the losses.
Yang Yu came out obediently, the sister and brother squatted behind the stove to make a fire, Yang Yu asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's wrong?" β
Yang Shan glanced at him angrily, Yang Yu would only call his eldest sister every time he was flattering Yang Shan. Yang Shan didn't know how to reply to him at this time, so he simply said, "I don't know." After thinking about it, he said: "You are honest in the past two days, you have never seen your father and mother like that, if you are greedy and make them unhappy, be careful of your skin." β
Yang Yu responded.
After that, it was to raise the fire to cook, Yang Shan still didn't have the ability to raise the fire, and in the end, Yang Yu couldn't stand it and did it. Yang Shan knew that he would, so he simply handed over this task to him and went to choose vegetables and wash rice by himself.
It's one thing to haven't done it, it's another thing to see it or not. Now that the Huang family is obviously in no mood to cook, Yang Shan can only draw a scoop according to the gourd.
The two sisters and brothers tossed for a while, and the Huang family came in, and seeing that the two sisters and brothers were busy, it was rare to speak in a good voice at this time: "I'll come, you guys go play first." The sister and brother were stunned, and then Yang Shan went out of the kitchen without looking back, and Yang Shan thought about it and went out.
Yang Yu really went out, there was a big mulberry tree at the door of his house, and Yang Yu was picking mulberries to eat at this time. Yang Shan looked at him and turned around and entered the house where Yang Qingnian was, Yang Qingnian was still smoking dry cigarettes, and when he saw Yang Shan coming in, he raised his eyes and looked at him without speaking.
Yang Shan tentatively said: "When we came back, we heard at the entrance of the village that the imperial court was going to expropriate the fields, and my father was angry because the money that my mother took out was not returned?" β
Yang Qingnian sighed and said, "I am already prepared to get back the money that your mother took out." After a pause, he said, "I'm just thinking about what we'll eat in the future without the fields...... How can the villagers live? β
Yang Shan didn't know how to answer Yang Qingnian, so he could only be silent with Yang Qingnian at this time.
Yang Shan didn't understand anything, what history, what coup d'Γ©tat Yang Shan listened to as a story when he was in school, and he forgot it after hearing it. Even now because of this matter, some ideas pop up in Yang Shan's mind, but they are all vetoed because of different national conditions.
In the end, Yang Shan can't solve this problem at all.
The father and daughter were silent for a long time, and Yang Yu shouted outside, "It's time to eat." β
Yang Qingnian took another puff of dry cigarettes, stood up and went to the kitchen. The family of four sat at the small table in the kitchen, and the meal was extremely depressing.
After lunch, Yang Qingnian went out, and Yang Shan guessed that he should have gone to the house of someone who could speak in the village. I don't know if there will be any solution.
As for the Huang family, today is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he has no energy at all, and he went to the field silently after eating.
Yang Shan has been here for a long time, and he has always had the mentality of getting by, because he is young with this body, so he is a little less elegant. Now because the Huang family is involved in the expropriation of the land by the imperial court, Yang Shan is also worried.
For the croppers, the most important thing is not that one acre and three points of land? Without land, wouldn't Chengdu let the people drink the northwest wind? Yang Shan didn't know what the minds of the people in the court were thinking? Didn't they take back the fields and ask someone to plant them?
Wait a minute!
Yang Shan's brain flashed, and he suddenly had an idea. But one idea came out, and other ideas followed, and Yang Shan's main purpose now was to inquire about what was going on.
