() Every time she is forced into labor, she, as a mother, has to worry about it once.

In the past, only one son went, but this year she has to go to both, in case there is a good one, how else will she be?

"Auntie, don't worry, there must be a way." It's not a way to see the eldest lady crying like this, Xia Ting has no bottom in his heart, but he can only be so comforted.

It can be said that the time announced this time is different from that announced in previous years, which has caused a panic among the public, for fear that it will be an urgent matter.

Xia Ting still felt that he should not accept his fate so early.

"Let's go to the village chief and talk to it, after all, there is no male in a family, which is indeed a problem." Although the village chief can't say anything, he has been the village chief for so many years, and he should have some experience. Fight for a sympathy score.

Gu Lin pondered for a while and decided: "I'll go to the village chief with Ah Ting to discuss, the second baby is ready to get off the luggage, mother, you can rest assured, I estimate that this matter is so urgent, the location will not be too far, and it is more convenient to take care of it, don't worry." ”

Gu Lin's words can always make people feel at ease, the eldest mother calmed down, and went to the backyard to pick vegetables, she had to prepare some dry food, so as not to be so bitter that she had no food to eat, these can finally withstand her stomach. As a mother, she can only do this, and she is also powerless in the rest.

Xia Ting brought two jars of jam and some silver money to the eldest brother, and followed the eldest brother away. Hopefully, the village chief can help them.

After all, he has been the village chief for so many years, and there must be some channels for communicating with the above, unlike them who have no headless flies and have no way to sue.

When Xia Ting and the others arrived, the village chief was only slightly surprised, "Big baby, it's not that I won't help you in this matter, it's that I really can't help it." ”

Xia Ting gave two jars of jam to the village chief's daughter-in-law, but she didn't take it at first, but only looked at the village chief's eyes.

Xia Ting smiled and said: "It's not worth a few dollars, it's just that there are only a few altars left this year, thinking that you said you liked it before, so I sent it over." ”

The village chief seemed to blame his daughter-in-law and said: "The little daughter-in-law of the family is a heart, why do you let the family take it for so long?" ”

"Eh, good~" The village chief's daughter-in-law accepted it with a smile.

Xia Ting secretly thought, this time, the village chief's attitude is a little rusty, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

"We know you can't talk about it, it's just that it's too difficult for us. This matter came so urgently, we didn't prepare anything, and all of a sudden the two pillars of the family ran away, leaving me and my aunt two weak women, in case there is a good ......" Xia Ting covered his eyes and calmed down, "The two of us can't survive anymore." ”

This is the sadness of this era, and at the end of the day, women have to live on men. Although she can run away when the time comes, this kind of thinking is only before, and now, she already has feelings for this family, and she can't abandon anyone and leave.

Xia Ting gave Gu Lin a look, Gu Lin stuffed some money into the village chief, and said, "Village chief, for my father's sake, help us." ”

"We're not going to make it hard for you. Just give us a little hope. "Xia Ting is very sincere, the only way they can go now is here.

The village chief lowered his head and didn't speak, but the village chief's daughter-in-law said, "This is really unfair." Ah Ting, the little daughter-in-law, has only been in our village for a long time, so she should suffer a lot. ”

The village chief lowered his head and sighed, and avoided with a side face:

"These lists are all assigned by the town, but ah, this general decision is from above. There should be something strange about this, but you can't say it, you can't make a fuss. And don't worry too much, this place is not far away. I can arrive in half a day, and I can still have a response. ”

The decision above? If it is the above decision, it will not be just their family, the list will pass through the town, and their village will be under the jurisdiction of Chunjiang Town, if there is a problem, it will also be here.

"Thank you, village chief. Nothing we do, we won't bother. Gu Lin stuffed some more silver coins and pulled Xia Ting away.

That's all the village chief has to say.

They also probably have a direction.

Is the problem in the town again?

Xia Ting crooked her neck, she really couldn't figure it out, who had she offended?

The high-ranking officials in the town don't seem to have much to do with them, do they? Except for the bandits......

The two of them didn't even eat, so they rushed to the town, and after the last time the thieves happened, for the sake of the situation, they hoped to meet the county official.

When they arrived in town, they found out that they were too naïve. The entrance to the yamen was so surrounded that even the back door was blocked. This incident still caused inconvenience to everyone.

But no matter how much trouble the people outside had, no one came out inside, and the attitude of the officers and soldiers was also very tough, and the people did not dare to make a mistake.

Xia Ting squeezed in and said to the nearest officer and soldier: "Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan!" Okay, let me meet the county magistrate, okay? I have something to discuss with him. ”

The officers and soldiers were full of impatience, and their hands kept pushing the people, and they occasionally glanced at Xia Ting, was stunned, suppressed their temper, and explained: "No, no, no." The county magistrate is busy. It's not negotiable. ”

Xia Ting was squeezed in the crowd, her breathing was a little unsmooth, she calmed down, suddenly burst out of strength, and rushed under the armpits of the officers and soldiers, I don't know if it was a weak area, she really rushed over.

The officers and soldiers didn't have time to react, and Xia Ting hurriedly slipped in.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the officers and soldiers who originally wanted to arrest her became in a hurry, and they didn't have time to take care of Xia Ting. This happened to be exploited by Xia Ting.

Inside, the environment instantly becomes tranquil and unaffected by the outside world.

Halfway through, Xia Ting finally bumped into a person, who was obviously very surprised by Xia Ting's arrival.

"Master, I want to meet the county magistrate."

The master looked a little puzzled, but he still took Xia Ting to see the county official. Maybe the master doesn't know what Xia Ting is here for.

When he saw the county official, the county official and Xia Ting looked at each other for a few seconds and avoided their eyes, which in Xia Ting's opinion, there was something wrong, not like the usual style, but a little like a weak heart.

He must know what he's here for.

"Gu family lady, why are you here?" is worthy of being an official, and the incompetent expression lasted for a long time, and it was adjusted to the usual amiable and people-friendly image.

Xia Ting also smiled and said, "County official, that's the case. I didn't have much idea about this conscription, but suddenly I received a notice that the only two males in our family were going to be conscripted, and the rest of the families only needed one, which was very unfair to us, and I wondered, is there a mistake? ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? "The county magistrate pretended to be very

Surprised, he quickly asked the master to bring the roster over and pretend to look at it.

He furrowed his eyebrows, looking serious and pitiful, "Oh, that's exactly how it was arranged." Specifically, I don't have this authority in this official position. Look at this ......," the county magistrate was embarrassed.

Seeing him so vain and wronged, it was obvious that he was playing Tai Chi, and Xia Ting was not polite, "But what I know is that what is decided above is only a general strategy, and it is treated equally, and this specific roster is decided by you, my lord." I wondered, is it because some adult is overworked and accidentally adds an extra person? A stick and a date, Xia Ting first said that he knew something, told the county official that he didn't have to lie to her, and then gave him face, this mistake was not "deliberate", but "for the country and the people", and accidentally made a mistake.

It's just that sometimes, people don't give them steps, they will go down.

"No, this has been confirmed many times, this is a completed fact, Gu family lady, instead of being entangled here, it is better to go back and prepare well, and there may be less sin in the future." The county magistrate took a sip of tea slowly, quite a kind of broken jar and broken, what can you do with me.

Xia Ting narrowed her eyes, she was sure that even if he was not the mastermind in this matter, he would definitely be an accomplice. Anyway, this county official is one of the insiders.

I couldn't pry some useful words out of his mouth. However, this person is so fearless because he is helpless.

"Don't the county magistrates know my relationship with Young Master Qiu? We're so friendly, don't you want to do this little favor? If I let everyone do this, it will be too chilling. So many people outside refused to agree in the first place. "Xia Ting played a double interest relationship, first of all, Qiu Ye, he is more or less a child of a noble family in the capital, how to say that he also has some power, and then, the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat, and the support of the people outside is also very important. If he really makes the people angry, this official will not stay long.

The county official's eyes, which had always pretended to be kind, became sharp, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling, but he was already sneering, "Little baby, if you want to threaten this official, you must first make your own identity." If you're really as important as you think, you don't have to play with me right now. You go directly to your Young Master Qiu. The county official threw away the teacup, his face changed, he turned his back to Xia Ting, and gave an eviction order: "Master, don't bring anyone over in the future, this official doesn't have such leisure." ”

How dare the master refute, he could only let Xia Ting go out half-invited and half-pushed, and halfway through, the master suddenly said: "Little lady of the Gu family, think about it, have you offended any powerful people recently?" There are a lot of things, and we just do what the above wills. ”

Xia Ting was a little surprised, and the master's kind reminder made her a little surprised and flattered, "Thank you, master, for reminding her." ”

Whether it was the village chief's daughter-in-law, the small officers and soldiers outside, or the master, they were all friendly to her. Xia Ting thought about it, his personality charm could not be so great, it should be the affinity of the system that played a role.

"Upper?" It's the top one, or is it ...... The top of the county magistrate?

Those who can not give Qiu Ye face are either of the same level of identity as Qiu Ye, or...... It's even better than Qiuye.

Xia Ting was a little puzzled, but he seemed to know something, and he wanted to catch it but couldn't.
