Along the way, Xia Yiruo listened to the conversations of some villagers one after another, it turned out that the north was going to fight again, the court ordered the recruitment of new soldiers, the number of men in each household is two to one, if there are no men, then silver must be replaced, and like them, the old Xia family, who gave birth to four boys, naturally wants to produce two men, the fifth is a scholar, and he will take the top exam in the future, so it is naturally impossible to count in it, and finally the old man Xia decided to draw lots to decide which two of the remaining three sons will be soldiers.

As a result, the eldest and the third child just won the lottery, and the old family cried and shouted, and finally Xia Chen's was a little reluctant, so he gave out a piece of silver to replace a man's number, which was eight taels of silver, and it had already made Xia Chen's heart ache.

He Yinglian saw that her mother-in-law helped the boss with money, and also wanted to say that the old Xia family could give money and not let Xia Dongliang go, but the old woman was naturally unwilling, she had just hemorrhaged once, where was she willing to take out the silver again, and the last family kept instigating, the old woman saw that Xia Dongliang's family has been getting more and more moisturized recently, and thought to herself, don't you have the ability, eat and drink well every day, and you don't respect her as a mother, and suddenly she was angry, and the result was that He Yinglian was beaten, and the old man Xia was suffocated in Xia Yiruo. That's why I just turned a blind eye.

What's more, they don't have much money at home, and they have to take the fifth child to study for the exam! If they take out another eight taels of silver, then they will wait to drink the northwest wind.

When Xia Yiruo arrived at Lao Xia's house, there were many villagers watching the excitement outside the courtyard of Lao Xia's house.

There are sympathizers among them, some helpless, and some watching, but none of them go up to dissuade anything, after all, their own family is also a man who produces silver, and a man who produces a man.

"Mother, don't fight, I'll go!" Xia Dongliang closed his eyes in pain and knelt in front of Xia Chen, only hoping that Xia Chen's would stop beating He Yinglian.

When the few kneeling children next to He Yinglian heard their father say this, they immediately burst into tears.

"Dad, don't want Dad!"

"Daddy, kid! How can you agree, what will we do with our orphans and widows when you leave! He Yinglian cried heartbreakingly.

"What are you yelling about! You poisonous woman! When the people of our Lao Xia family are all dead, and the third child is gone, of course you are raised by the Lao Xia family! What else can I do! Xia Chen's anger hit He Yinglian again.

Hmph, that's a nice thing to say! If the old Xia family doesn't sell them, and those who are slaves become slaves, then it's not the Lao Xia family!

Xia Yixian pinched his palms and glared at Xia Chen with hatred.

"Mother, don't fight!" Xia Dongliang stood in front of He Yinglian and let Xia Chen beat him.

"San'er, don't blame your mother, your mother can't help it!" The old man Xia on the side sighed helplessly while knocking on the cigarette pouch.

"That's right, third brother, that's eight taels of silver, where is there so much silver at home." The Lin family of the old family on the side said hypocritically.

Xia Dongliang's family glared at the Lin family indignantly, there was no silver at home, so why didn't Xia Maosheng go to be a soldier!

"The eldest aunt lied to people, obviously I saw that the grandmother secretly gave the big brother with the knife silver, and then the uncle didn't have to go to war." Xia Yiyu is still just a child, he only knows that his father is leaving them, and the only way to let his father stay is to let his grandmother take out the silver again.

The people inside and outside the courtyard who said this sentence had different looks on their faces.
