Chapter 143: The more embarrassed he is, the darker he is (four watches)
If the grain is paid to pay the poll tax, only one hundred catties of grain is needed per person.
Therefore, even if the land harvest is poor, or if the land is so poor that there is no land, the peasant households have to rent the landlord's land to grow food, and they will not think about doing anything else to make a living.
According to what Gu Huade just meant, he wanted their family to pay eighty taels of silver.
The village chief patted his thigh and said angrily: "That's what I'm going to say!" Gu Er, are you old and don't know how to count? I don't think you want justice, you want to cheat your eldest brother for money, right?! ”
The village chief is also the head of the Bai family in Osmanthus Village, and what he said is very convincing.
"Also, you said that your father was going to sue your eldest brother for disobedience, let's not talk about what will happen to your eldest brother, do you know how much impact it will have on our village?"
"If there is such a lawsuit, if there is any good thing in the county in the future, the county magistrate will exclude our village! In the future, the big girls and young men in the village will definitely be affected. ”
Gu Laoer's mind was guessed by the village chief, and he was deducted a big hat that affected the marriage of the whole village, of course he didn't dare to admit it, and he wanted to defend it.
At this time, a village elder suddenly stood up and spat on the ground.
"Phew, Gu Er, you came to us, it turned out to help you calculate your eldest brother! Knock on it, I can't control these things of your old Gu family! ”
The old man left after scolding.
The other village elders also felt that they had been tricked, and they scolded and left one after another:
"Day! No wonder people say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather! ”
"Gan Lin Niang! Old man Gu, if you want to sue, go and sue, and let the village chief kick your family out when the time comes. ”
……
They were all croppers, rough people, and it was very ugly to scold people.
Gu Lao Er looked at his father's face and didn't dare to squeak.
Old Man Gu's face is green, his respectable image has been maintained for many years, when has he ever been scolded like this?
The more embarrassed he was, the more dark the village chief became, and he deliberately looked extremely helpless.
"That's it, it's hard for a clean official to cut off family affairs! Raise people, sir, I'm also leaving, today's matter, your family can do whatever you like. But as an old brother, I also advise you, although this person's heart is biased, but if it is too biased, it will not be good to live, don't you say? ”
Old Man Gu was almost dizzy, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "I didn't know about this matter today, it's all because the rebel saw that the crop harvest was not good, and he thought about it for a while, and when I go back, I will teach him well and cause trouble to you!" ”
Then he turned around and shouted at Gu Lao Er and his party with all his might: "Come home with me!" ”
This all, of course, does not include the people of the Gu family's big house.
Gu Yuqiao's family of three and the others walked away, and then turned their heads to thank the village chief who said he was leaving, but he didn't leave.
Although this matter was finally settled, Gu Yuqiao knew that for a long time, Old Man Gu no longer had the face to condone the people of the old Gu family and came to trouble him.
On the way back, Gu Yuqiao saw from a distance that there were many people working in the twenty acres of the old Gu family's field.
After asking my father, I found out that Old Man Gu had been teaching in the countryside for decades, and it was still somewhat useful - the people who came to help were the families of the students he taught.
Although he didn't teach any talents, because he loves face, he is also good to students, and he often makes people owe restraints, reduce restraints or something, and his reputation in this regard is not bad.
It was because Gu Eryi went to find someone to help, and even if those people were busy, they would send people to help him.
It's just that Old Man Gu probably didn't expect that the image he built up in front of the students would be ruined by his second son today, right?
