Chapter 396: Paying the Bill

Tong Xiaowu stepped forward, pulled the bag on Xiaohu's back, and asked, "Let me ask you two again, what about the half bag of rice I gave you the day before yesterday?" ”

As soon as Xiaohu stretched out his hand and pulled the bag containing the corn kernels, he pulled his sister and walked towards the village, shouting as he went, "I paid the bill, what's wrong?" ”

This kid is quite annoying, and Tong Xiaowu doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

Back to his home, dragged Bichen to the back mountain, and then there is a cliff in the mountain, there is a waterfall in front of the cliff, and it is not small, there is a waterhole under the waterfall, a small river is left in front of the waterhole to the front of the mountain, on both sides of the river, a cluster of lilies blooms, some flowers are white, some flowers are pink, a gust of wind blows, and the fragrance of flowers lingers.

"It's so beautiful here!" Bichen couldn't help but sigh.

Tong Xiaowu looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and nodded, "Although it is worse than our Shanshui Village, it is really good, help me pick flowers, by the way, is it jasmine over there?" ”

She pointed to the eastern hillside, Bi Chen looked at it and replied happily, "Yes, princess, it's jasmine over there, let's pick some and go back to make flower tea, it must be delicious......

"Okay, Xianggong, you have to pay attention to your name, if you do this again, I will be angry! Isn't there a point of contact for the Desireless Gate in Buzhou City? If you don't cooperate with me again, then I can only go to the contact point for a change. Tong Xiaowu threatened.

"I'm gone, I'll pay attention next time, lady......"

"Call ...... again"

"Lady, lady......"

"Keep ......" If you want her to be familiar, you need to keep in touch.

"Lady, lady, lady......" The two laughed, and sure enough, from this time on, Bichen never missed it.

The two picked flowers, washed them with water, put them in a basket, and went home.

Put the stool in the house under the sun in the yard, put a grate on it, and drizzle the picked flowers with water, and when the water is dry, you can make the flower filling. Bichen set aside a part of the jasmine and copied it to make flower tea.

In the fence garden, under the begonia tree, in front of the square table, Tong Xiaowu sat on a chair, and Bi Chen brewed her newly copied flower tea and handed it to her.

Tong Xiaowu lowered her head and sniffed, "Not bad!" ”

"Yes, when I was a child, I watched my master do it, and at that time I especially liked to steal the master's flower tea, and then put honey to make water to drink, now I think about it, it was really interesting at that time......" Bi Chen also sat down, and the two looked at the beautiful mountains together, and tasted tea together.

"Auntie, auntie save my brother......"

Far away, on the other side of the ditch, Xiaohu ran over, waving his hand to this side while running, Tong Xiaowu stood up, walked out of the yard, greeted him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"My sister, my sister was dragged away by the lieutenant ......"

"Sun Lichang? Because of what? ”

"Last year, our family rented the farmland of the Li Chang's family, and the rent was only one or two silver, but after the autumn, after settling the accounts, after deducting the tax for this year, we couldn't even afford to pay the rent of the field, so we wrote an IOU, and it was with interest.

It's a total of 800 Wen, but I don't want to make a profit this year, my family is frugal, my mother went out to work, and she has repaid the principal, but it's still not enough.

Yesterday, the lieutenant came to my house to ask for money, my mother was not at home, we also said that he couldn't do it, he took away all the things that could be eaten at home, today we wanted to grind some cornmeal, but we didn't want the lieutenant to rob us of face, and said that we owed him.

My sister reasoned with him, and he dragged my sister away, and said that he would sell my sister......"

"There's no royal law yet!" Tong Xiaowu walked towards the West Village, followed by Bi Chen.

This is a bright and clear man, a lieutenant chief, and he still has to rob the people's daughters.

When I came to the small yard, a group of people were talking about it together.

"This grandson is getting more and more excessive, in our village, his family has the most land, and the rent is also the highest......"

"But no, this year, let's remove the poll tax, and then remove the rent, what is the balance? It's all for his family. ”

"Now in this world, there is no reason to ......"

A group of people stood in the courtyard and discussed, but no one was willing to stand up and go to the Mayor's house to speak for Xiaolan's sister and brother.

"What about people?" Xiaohu looked at the scene and asked.

Someone pointed to the "...... of the Chief's Family"

"Bi Chen, you go ...... first" Tong Xiaowu heard this, opened her mouth and shouted, turned around and walked towards the chief's house, followed by a group of villagers watching the excitement.

"Which one is this? Are they the two new ones who moved in? ”

"Yes, yes, look, this time someone has cleaned up the ...... of Sun Li"

"Let's take a look......"

Everyone cheered up, Bi Chen ran in front, followed by Xiaohu and Tong Xiaowu.

After a while, everyone came to Sun Lichang's house, and sure enough, he had tied up Xiaolan, and then drove a donkey cart, not knowing where to go?

He was followed by two men, and a woman about his age, who was shouting, "Shut her mouth, let her draw a charge, don't forget to draw a charge, she has to pay back the money her mother owes, it just so happens that the king of the West Village has taken a fancy to her, and it is also her ...... creation"

"What are you doing? Let go of my sister......" Xiaohu rushed forward, and the two men beside Sun Lichang grabbed him.

"What are you doing, little tiger? I tell you, your family owes us money, and it is natural to repay the debt, you can rest assured, I will give you the money your sister sells, but first we have to repay our family's money......"

Saying that, with a force, he pushed Xiaohu out, Xiaohu gasped heavily, his lips were purple, and he looked at the other party angrily, "The money we owe you will be returned to you, let my sister go, you have no right to tie up my sister, you are breaking the law......"

"Hahaha, in Yiyi Village, I am the law, do you think your family owes our family a tael of silver? Let me tell you, when your uncle died, the burial expenses were still paid by our family, which was three taels of silver.

And the year before last, you were sick, and your mother took a tael of silver from me, and it happened that your sister sold it for enough money to pay it back, and besides, we have already asked your mother, and she agreed to sell your sister to Wang Yuanwai......"

Sun Lichang walked over, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smug face.

"It's impossible to ......" Xiaohu's body shook, obviously unable to bear it.

Tong Xiaowu walked over and stroked his back, "Xiaohu, you stand back, Auntie will solve this matter!" ”

"Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Gou Dongyan's Tong family? Why, if you want to rush to the big-tailed wolf and want to stop this, let me tell you, your family's poll tax hasn't been paid yet?

How? Want to stand up for their family? I'm telling you, since you've come to this village, stay honest with me, don't rush to the good people, and be careful of retribution......"
