Sister-in-law Huang sighed and explained, "Huang Ye's legs have hollowed out the family's foundation, Huang Ye's daughter-in-law's dowry is not counted, and the cotton clothes and pants have also been changed for medicine soup, and their family doesn't have many good clothes." ”

"Actually, that's the case," Jiang Nuan couldn't believe what she heard, "Sister-in-law, our Huangjiakou, how is such a person?" ”

"It's not much," Sister-in-law Huang thought for a while and spoke, "There are only two or three families, the wharf in front of our village, when the flood season comes, the water can be used, I heard that you can go to Fucheng, and the gentlemen of our village can carry sacks, which is better than the surrounding villages." ”

"That dock hasn't been abandoned yet?" Jiang Nuan's eyes were full of surprise.

It's not that she thinks so, but the dock is very simple.

There were a few large rocks in the river with a few wooden posts, only an arm's width and a little stronger than a single-plank bridge.

"Of course not," Sister-in-law Huang raised her chin slightly, looking proud, "This dock in our village has helped us earn a lot of silver." Look at the houses in our village, neat adobe houses, and a few tiles on the roof, which is not something that ordinary villages can do. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan sweated slightly.

If she hadn't seen the low and dilapidated adobe house in Huangjiakou with her own eyes, she would have thought that she was living in a small villa.

When will adobe houses become a source of pride?

However, Jiang Nuan didn't dare to say this.

"This dock is really hard work."

"That's not it," Sister-in-law Huang smiled, "It's also the blessing of our ancestors, who found such a blessed land for us, and the surrounding villages are envious, and they also want to move goods at the wharf, why do we let them take advantage of our wharf?" There were several fights before no one dared to make an idea. ”

"And got into a fight?" Jiang Nuan felt incredible, "How did you fight?" ”

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Sister-in-law Huang turned her head suspiciously, "You forgot about this?" ”

"Yes, yes," Jiang Nuan touched his nose and said his reason, "Maybe I was scared and forgot." ”

"It's really scary, there are several dead," Sister-in-law Huang sighed, "Fortunately, the masters of our village are strong and there are no casualties." ”

"Still dead?" Jiang Nuan tightened her throat, "Sister-in-law, the government doesn't care?" ”

"How?" Sister-in-law Huang explained, "This kind of struggle between the two villages relies on fists to speak, and the government can't control it, and the government will break the rules if it gets involved." ”

"This ......" Jiang Nuan was speechless in shock.

When did the government's deterrent power be so low?

"Don't do this or that," Sister-in-law Huang knocked Jiang Nuan's head, "Don't think about it so much, the government usually doesn't care much about us, what they care about most is taxation and servitude, as long as these two things are not wrong, they won't interfere in other things at all." ”

"Why?" Jiang Nuan asked blankly, "It's not a good thing for people to be killed or injured, won't it affect taxes?" ”

"Of course not," Sister-in-law Huang looked at Jiang Nuan strangely, "Our taxes are based on the number of land, not per head, although we serve as a servant per household, but there are so many people in a large family, there are not one or two, and the impact is not great." ”

"I see!" Jiang Nuan really felt that he had seen a lot.

"Don't think about it too much," Sister-in-law Huang thought that her words scared Jiang Nuan, and hurriedly comforted, "The gentlemen in our village are all strong, and nothing will happen, just put your heart in your stomach and live your own life in peace." ”

"I know," Jiang Nuan pulled out a very reluctant smile, "Sister-in-law, where are we going?" ”
