Ke Xuan, is this really not poisonous? ”

"Really, mother, you taste it, I'll make another mushroom soup." After saying that, he stuffed the plate into Yang's hand, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Looking at the fragrant mushrooms, Yang took a deep breath and picked up a little mushroom with the chopsticks that Ke Xuan had eaten just now. When I was in my mouth, I hesitated, but I couldn't bear the fragrance, so I put it in my mouth.

As soon as she imported it, her eyes lit up, she didn't expect it to be really delicious, so she couldn't help but eat some more. Ke Xuan in the kitchen stuck out her head and peeked at it, and couldn't help laughing when she saw that her mother-in-law liked it very much. The mother-in-law completely forgot about the poisonous mushrooms.

……

Since the mushroom incident, she Ye Kexuan has become a celebrity in the village, and everyone says that she is a. Because she actually dared to beat the village chief's wife, but she was afraid that she would have a hard time in the future.

No, as soon as the corn and grain were dried, the tax collector came.

A group of people first came to the house of the village chief Li De, and Li De's daughter-in-law prepared tea for several officials and went down.

The leader took a sip of tea, Li De looked at him and said with a smile: "Official, why is it a few days earlier this year?" ”

"This is not an order from above, and those of us who are small are only under orders. However, I heard that there is going to be a war and there is an urgent need for food, so this year's tax has been increased by 10%. ”

"What? And add a percent? "Li De's whole person is not good.

This year's cost is not very good, I wanted to say if I could do less, but now it's good, not only is there less but more, this is not to the lives of the villagers!

The leader pretended not to see Li De, put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said, "Okay, time is pressing, I won't delay, village chief, let's go." ”

Li De was helpless, and got up in discouragement to go to the house to get the household registration.

Chen Yueniang saw the official come out, but she didn't see her own man come out, so she stepped forward and said, "Official, let's go!" ”

The leader smiled lightly and nodded.

Chen Yueniang glanced into the room, then approached the leader, and whispered: "Official, you have to take good care of this Li Dahai family." ”

The leader frowned and stared at Chen Yueniang.

Chen Yueniang was a little uncomfortable stared at by him like this, so she took two steps back and said with a smile: "A few officials will eat here at noon today, and I will fry a few good dishes for you at noon and prepare good wine." ”

Hearing this, the leader smiled and nodded again and again: "Okay, then there is Sister-in-law Lao, sister-in-law, don't worry, what you said will be done." ”

With this sentence, Chen Yueniang was relieved, and when she thought of Yang Mei at that time, she showed a bad smile.

Li De came out and saw his daughter-in-law's deep face, and walked over and said, "What are you still doing, go buy some meat, get some food, and entertain a few officials at noon." ”

Chen Yueniang was happy now, she didn't bother with him, she turned around and left.

The leader looked at the woman who had entered the house and smiled. Seeing this, Li De frowned slightly, and suddenly felt uneasy.

"Everything?"

"Brought it." Li Deyang raised the household registration book in his hand.

The leader glanced at it and turned around and waved his hand, indicating that work had started.

……

Ke Xuan came back from the mountains, and when he entered the village, he saw some people sighing, and some even wiped their tears.

She frowned and said secretly, "What's the matter?" Why are they all sad. ”

However, she didn't come forward to ask, because if she did, others wouldn't tell her, so she simply went home.

When she passed by Liao's house, she heard the noise, and she hurriedly went in to see the situation.

I saw Liao Po sitting on a chair, crying and scolding: "You who have suffered a thousand knives have all moved away, how can my old woman live!" ”

The leader had long been accustomed to this situation, and said without pain: "Old man, we can't be blamed for this, we are just acting on orders." ”

After saying that, he ordered someone to move things and left, the village chief sighed, and glanced at Ke Xuan when he left.

After they were all gone, Ke Xuan asked Liao Po with concern: "Liao Po, what do they do?" ”

When Liao Po saw her, she wiped her tears and said: "Those who collect taxes, these black-hearted people, the cost of collecting this year is not good, and they actually have to raise taxes, isn't it a human life!" ”

After hearing this, she understood. Expressing helplessness, as the man just said, they are only acting on orders. Seeing that Liao Po was lonely, she expressed sympathy. He put down the basket, peeled off a layer of grass on it, and took a pheasant out of it.

"Po Liao, this is for you." After speaking, he picked up the basket.

Liao Po looked at the pheasant in front of her and waved her hand again and again: "This is not good, you take it back quickly, if you let your mother know, you will be told about it." ”

She smiled and said, "Po Liao, don't you know what my mother looks like?" If my mother knew that I was giving you, she wouldn't say me, okay, I have to go back quickly, lest some people want to bully my mother. ”

Liao Po wanted to put the pheasant in her back basket, but she stood up, and the girl ran away.

Looking at this pheasant with a small head, my heart is warm. This Yang family has found a good daughter-in-law!

Ye Kexuan ran wildly all the way, and soon arrived at home, put down the back basket when he entered the door, and then went to the room where the grain was stacked.

Yang put down the things in his hand and followed, looked at her and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

glanced back at his mother-in-law, his mind turned, and then pushed his mother-in-law out.

"Mother, it's okay, when I just came back, I saw that the tax collector came, mother, go and see if those people are coming."

When Yang heard this, his face was shocked, and he went out without saying a word.

And she stopped inking, closed the door and began to move food into the space. When Yang came back, he knocked on the door and said, "Kexuan, what are you doing inside?" ”

In the space, Ke Xuan heard the voice, turned around and came out, and then opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Yang saw that half of the food was missing, and his eyes were wide open.

"This ...... This...... What happened here? Why is half of the food gone? ”

Ke Xuan hurriedly pulled her mother-in-law and whispered, "Mother, you remember that our family has this little food." ”

Yang looked at her, confused, pulled Ke Xuan and asked, "Ke Xuan, what happened here, where did the missing half go?" ”

"Mother, don't ask, when those people ask, you will say that's all."

Yang understood, but couldn't figure out where the half had gone.

"Sister Yang, is Sister Yang at home?" Li De's voice rang out.

Yang knew that it was the tax collector who came, so he let go of her hand and went out, and she followed.

When Li De saw the Yang family coming out, he turned his head to the leader and said, "This is Li Dahai's family." ”

After listening to this, the leader glanced at the woman in front of him, and couldn't understand why Li De's mother-in-law couldn't get along with this old woman. It's too lazy to care, it's still important to do things.

"Go in and see how much food there is."
