Chapter 25: Shock, Verification
Zhao Fucheng, his surname is Zhao!
Li's spirit was excited, and a dense layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
She swallowed her saliva with a frightened face, thinking of the dissatisfaction of the indigenous villagers of Shangwa Village with their outsiders in recent years, and her heart suddenly stopped.
Oh, Zhao Fucheng is small, and the entire Zhao family is big!
If this matter is not handled properly, it will implicate the entire Zhao family in Shangwa Village...... What a sin.
The Li family's divergent thinking has been associated with the entire Zhao family from Zhao Fucheng.
As soon as he thought of his family or being implicated, the Li family couldn't wait to tear Zhao Fucheng to relieve his hatred.
Zhao Shanhe on the other side endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and he opened his mouth and kept struggling.
"Mother, I don't say it outside, can't I say it at home?"
"You don't know how infuriating it is!"
Zhao Shanhe held his breath in his heart and said, "What people do is right, and they don't admit it,"
"What do you say about the fish that you send are all the fish that have no spirit, half-dead or dead, no one buys them left and right, they stink, they can't be sold anyway, what's wrong with giving them away,"
"Mother, listen, this person didn't mean it."
Damn!
The fish they brought to the market for sale were all bumpy for a long time, and there were a few dead fish that were not normal.
Even if the fate is great, there are not a few who are half-dead.
According to Zhao Fucheng, then their fish don't need to be sold, and it would be good to give them away.
"Hmph, that's farting!"
Li followed with a "bah", and the mother and son sat in the room and scolded Zhao Fucheng for doing this kind of thing, which is really shameless.
Zhao Shanhe scolded him simply to vent, who let him because of Zhao Fucheng, who is carrying the burden to walk the streets and alleys today to sell fish, now he is sore and tight, it is all caused by Zhao Fucheng, and he should be scolded.
The Li family was different, she scolded Zhao Fucheng because she thought of the entire Zhao family.
Zhao Fucheng only thought that what he did was just a trivial matter, even if he was discovered, he would be scolded at most, and nothing would happen.
In fact, this is not the case, this matter can be big or small, it depends on what Zou Li is trying to deal with.
If Zou Li is handled lightly, Zhao Fucheng may not be able to do anything, and he will not let him sell fish again this year.
But if Zou Li wants to get bigger, Zhao Fucheng's matter is a good reason.
Zhao Fucheng is in a hurry to hand over the handle of their Zhao clan to the other party, wishing to let them die!
Zhao Fuxiang sat aside and listened, and he didn't stop him.
In his heart, although Li and Zhao Shanhe's mother and son scolded a little fiercely, he thought that Zhao Fucheng should be scolded.
Not to mention that they didn't take advantage of it, they still have to take responsibility for no reason, and they are not cheap skins who rush to stick their faces.
For a moment, there was no other voice in the room, only bursts of scolding could be heard.
The mother and son scolded for a long time, and the fire in their hearts went out, and then they gasped.
Zhao Fuxiang opened his mouth and said to the Li family,
"This matter, with the patriarch here, there is no problem to solve it, but the situation in the village will definitely not be much better in the past few days."
"You are at home, pay more attention, go out less if you have nothing to do, especially to the east."
The eastern part of the area is basically inhabited by the natives or relatives of Shangwa Village, and it is also the place where they are most malicious to outsiders.
"I know that there is nothing I won't go, and the rest of the family won't go."
Needless to say than Zhao Fuxiang said, the Li family would not want to go over to find abuse.
Others don't want to see her, she won't be like Chen, and she will be bored with her eyes.
"Well, don't spread the word, we just need to know."
Zhao Fuxiang smacked his lips and added another sentence.
Obviously, this was directed at the other four people in the room.
Li Shi grimaced and nodded, "I know everything." ”
She still knows the priorities, Li is not a talkative person, especially now that Zhao Fuxiang specially instructed her, she will not talk nonsense.
The three Zhao Shanlin brothers stood on the ground, staring at the ground with their eyes, and nodded in unison.
A few of them are juniors, and they won't talk nonsense.
The matter of selling fish has come to an end.
Zhao Fuxiang turned to speak and asked about other things in the family.
Li replied while rubbing the hemp rope.
The atmosphere in the room gradually recovered.
"In a few days, the wheat and soybeans will be harvested, and the vacated fields will have to be replanted with wheat, grains and sesame seeds.
The people take food as the sky, and the fields at home must not be lost, thinking that in a few days, the summer grain will be harvested, Zhao Fuxiang's dry old face showed a happy smile.
The land boundary of Shangwa Village is good, and the grain grown can reach two harvests a year.
Although the taxes they have to pay will be a little higher, it seems that the taxes they need to pay are acceptable compared to the grain they harvest.
Farm tools are used to collect grain, Zhao Fuxiang thought of some dilapidated farm tools at home, and explained two sentences to Zhao Shanlin.
"Boss, you go to Changle Town with the second child in two days, take the family's farm tools to the blacksmith shop, and let people help repair them, and by the way, you are buying two sickles and coming back, the sickles at home can't be used, and you have to buy new ones."
"By the way, bring some more money, see what is still missing at home, and buy it all back."
"Hey," Zhao Shanlin quickly nodded and replied, "Dad, I know." ”
After saying this for a while, Zhao Fuxiang waved his hand, his expression was a little tired, "Okay, it's nothing, just go back, Ming'er won't go out, rest at home for a day, and collect food." ”
Their old Zhao family has a lot of land, and they are extremely busy when they harvest grain every year.
Ordinary dealers do not have much money income on weekdays, and generally do not hire short-term workers to help, after all, dozens of dollars a day will be distressed.
After all, it is necessary to complete the dual task of harvesting and planting grain within half a month, so the old and young masters of the old Zhao family are very physically exhausted after they are busy with this stubble.
Zhao Fuxiang asked a few people to rest more, and there was nothing wrong with taking care of their bodies.
The three Zhao Shanlin brothers know the importance of this harvest and understand that this harvest is important to their family, in other words, whether the family can eat enough this year depends on the grain in the field.
The three of them left the house together and turned around to go back to their own house.
In the blink of an eye, only Li and Zhao Fuxiang were left in the main house.
After a busy day without a good rest, Zhao Fuxiang was a little tired.
Leaning against the wall, Zhao Fuxiang tilted his head, intending to squint for a while.
As a result, as soon as Li Shi spoke, he directly disturbed Zhao Fuxiang's sleepiness.
"What? Taxes? ”
Zhao Fuxiang was so excited that he couldn't control the sound of his speech, which startled the Li family.
Li Shi hurriedly patted his chest, glanced at him and said, "That's right, it's not that it's undecided." ”
Li Shixin said that if it was really confirmed, she would not just whisper to Zhao Fuxiang behind her back, but would say it directly in front of the three brothers of Zhao Shanlin, and hurry up to get things done.
"Then what are you doing nonsense," Zhao Fuxiang darkened his face, looked around, and asked Li Shi to come over, and said in a low voice, "You can't talk nonsense, if you hear it, we can't eat and walk around." ”
After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he still looked at the Li family, and said in his heart, isn't the old woman dizzy? This kind of thing can still spread rumors, I'm afraid I don't want to be beaten by the official.
As far as Zhao Fuxiang's expression was concerned, how could the Li family not see it, and stretched out his hand to push him, "I don't dare to say this, the news was said by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family, and the mother's family is from Changping County, and it has begun to be collected there." ”
Changping County is the county seat of their Changle County.
The distance is not close, and it takes almost half a day to drive the ox cart back and forth.
The news came from Changping County, and there is a high probability that it cannot be faked.
"Do you know about this, the patriarch and Lizheng?"
Zhao Fuxiang sat up straight, his mind alive.
"Then how do I know, but, according to the Shi family's mother-in-law's personality, I'm afraid I don't know."
Li shook his head, and said in his heart that if this news is true, who must take care of his own family first, according to the temperament of the Shi family's mother-in-law, it is estimated that he can only think of others after he is busy with his own family.
After hearing this, Zhao Fuxiang did it silently for a while before he said, "Then I have to go to Changping County tomorrow, and I have to go to see the specific situation." ”
Zhao Fuxiang, who originally planned to rest for a day, couldn't sit still.
If the news of this tax increase is true, it is really a sin.
Rush to come before the harvest of grain, this is to see that they will not starve to death, want the lion to open his mouth.
"Okay, then you be careful, we can't spread this, at least, there is no movement on the Shi family's side, and we can't say it first."
The Li family was very relieved of Zhao Fuxiang, and he was afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family would be difficult to do, after all, the news was kindly mentioned by the other party, and it was not a matter if it really wanted to be passed on from their family.
Zhao Fuxiang glared, "Of course I know the severity, of course we can't say this, forget it, you don't care, leave it to me, wait for me to find out tomorrow." ”
"By the way, don't forget to load two buckets of fish for me tomorrow, I'll bring them over together, and I have to have an excuse to go to Changping County, and I can't just run away dry."
After all, Changping County is far away from them, for no reason, what are you going to do in Changping County.
Li felt that what Zhao Fuxiang said was reasonable, and his brain was moving quickly, and he helped to come up with an idea and said, "Then bring some silver money by the way, the blacksmith shop in Changping County is cheaper than that in Changle County, and by the way, you can buy some farm tools and pull them back." ”
Otherwise, when all the farm tools at home are repaired and replenished at the blacksmith shop in Changle County, it will cost at least dozens of dollars more.
Li calculated the account in his heart, and felt that it was quite cost-effective for Zhao Fuxiang to go to Changping County.
Zhao Fuxiang has nothing to do with Li's requirements, anyway, he doesn't have much other work to do when he goes to Changping County, so he can save a little bit.
"Okay, as you say."
Speaking of which, there is basically nothing to say, Zhao Fuxiang directly made a decision on tomorrow's matter.
When Li Shi heard this, he also closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing that Zhao Fuxiang was really tired, Li put away the hemp rope and hurriedly went to the ground.
She planned to clean up the side of the kang so that she could let Zhao Fuxiang sleep earlier.
When Ming'er goes to Changping County, she must get up early in the morning, and she won't be able to do any more work tonight.
