"Don't dare, we don't dare." Uncle Hu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I really don't have so much money at home, I beg you, sir, you can forgive me a few days!" ”

The fat man kicked Uncle Hu to the ground, and the people of the Hu family were so frightened that they hurried over, "Dad, how are you?" ”

Boss Hu looked at the fat man and said, "How can you do it?" If my dad had something to do, I wouldn't let you go. ”

The fat man was directly unhappy when he was threatened like this, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to talk to me like this, don't you want to live anymore, come here, teach him a lesson to me." ”

The people who followed behind hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Boss Hu aside, and several people began to beat people, and the rest of the brothers, of course, couldn't watch it anymore, and also rushed up, so for a while, the courtyard was in chaos.

The village chief got the news and hurriedly came over, he looked at the fat man and said, "The mayor asked you to collect the poll tax?" ”

The fat man snorted coldly and said, "That's right, it's good to know, pay the money quickly." ”

The village chief looked at him and said in a cold voice: "Since you are here to collect money, you can just collect money, why are you beating people here?" ”

The fat man looked at him and said, "I can't get the money out and I have been slandering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here and saying bad things about the Prince, how can I do it if I don't teach them a lesson?" ”

The village chief glanced at Uncle Hu, "Really?" ”

Uncle Hu hurriedly said: "No, we didn't say anything bad about His Highness, we just begged him to give us a period of grace, he didn't agree to kick me, and the children couldn't help but do it with him." ”

The village chief's face changed, and he looked at the fat man and said, "This old man Hu is already so old, if something happens to him, are you responsible?" ”

When the fat man heard the village chief's words, he also stood up angrily and said, "Are you questioning me?" I'm telling you, I'm the mayor's nephew, and if you provoke me, do you know the consequences? ”

The village chief's face was also very ugly, "The town chief is a very righteous person, if what you did was known to him, what do you think he would do?" ”

He is also an old acquaintance with the mayor of the town, of course he knows who he is, and this fat man wants to rely on the mayor to bully people, which is simply not good.

The fat man's face changed suddenly, and he also knew about his uncle, if he really knew that he was bullying, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

Seeing his face, the village chief knew that what he said was right, and hurriedly said: "No matter what, it's not right for you to beat someone, don't care about this matter, the family should give more time, right?" ”

The fat man stared at the village chief and said, "You said so much just to delay time?" I'm telling you no, if I don't give money today, I will never leave, and their family can't leave. ”

The village chief looked at him and said, "Aren't you worried that the mayor will know about this?" ”

The fat man looked at him, smiled and said, "My uncle knows about this, otherwise how do you think we can come to your village to collect money?" ”

Hearing this, the village chief stopped talking, what this person said must be true, the town mayor knew that it was very difficult to collect money, so he didn't come forward, and directly ordered these people to come, if they were really timid, they must have been frightened.

These people are so vicious, and his nephew is still a scoundrel, so he left the matter to him.

The matter of Uncle Hu's family soon spread to the village, and some people just sighed, their family was already bankrupt because of this incident, and some people still went to see the excitement.

Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er were in their own home, and when they heard this, Tang Zhi'an couldn't sit still all of a sudden, "Daughter-in-law, give me ten taels of silver." ”

Lin Qiu'er was a little puzzled, you must know that although the family has earned so much money, Tang Zhian can't spend a few pennies a month, and the money spent is all needed by the family, or to buy things for her, and he himself does not spend money.

Now it was the first time to ask for ten taels of silver, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Zhian looked at her and said: "Uncle Hu is my benefactor, at that time my grandparents died, I was hungry, and the people in the village did not interact with me, I was hungry in the winter when it snowed, so I went to the mountains to find food, but I didn't find anything, and I was almost frozen to death on the mountain, it was Uncle Hu who saved me and gave me a small bag of food." ”

Lin Qiu'er was taken aback, she didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

Tang Zhi'an continued: "Uncle Hu is kind, at that time, the people in the village were afraid to deal with me because of rumors, so their family has not had anything to do with me, and I also asked his eldest son to come when I was working this time, probably because they have many families, so the money is still not enough." ”

Lin Qiu'er nodded when she heard his words and said, "Since it is kind to you, then okay, let's give them ten taels of silver!" Let's take a look. “

When the two rushed to Uncle Hu's house, they saw that the village chief and the group of officers and soldiers were confronting each other, they hurried over, handed over the silver to the village chief, and said, "Village chief, we gave the money from Uncle Hu's family." ”

The village chief took the silver and nodded, "Okay." ”

In fact, he had already asked Lin Xiaoshan to go to his house to get the silver, but as soon as he left, Tang Zhi'an and they came.

The village chief gave the silver to the fat man and said, "Here, this is their family's silver, you can take it and leave, right?" ”

The fat man asked the person behind him to bring the silver, and snorted coldly and said, "You know each other." ”

They took the money and left, and this family was the last one, and the rest of the village had paid it, and now they could leave when they had finished collecting it.

When those people left, the women of the Hu family hurriedly came over and helped the men of the family to get up.

"Are you alright?" The village chief asked.

Uncle Hu shook his head, looked at Tang Zhi'an gratefully and said, "It's okay, Zhi'an, thank you so much, I will definitely pay you back when I have saved enough money." ”

Tang Zhian looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Hu, have you forgotten?" You saved my life when I was little. ”

Uncle Hu closed his eyes and said, "I'm ashamed, at that time, because of the rumors in the village, I only gave a small bag of grain, and I didn't do anything at all. ”

Tang Zhian looked at him and said, "It's a very simple thing for Uncle Hu, but it helped me at that time!" ”

Uncle Hu said: "I know that you are kind-hearted, so it must be your idea for our boss to work, I know it in my heart!" ”

Lin Qiu'er came over and said, "Uncle, we should do this too, so let's do it!" Next time you work, your sons will follow! ”

Uncle Hu hurriedly said, "No, where do you need so many people?" ”

The rest of the Hu family was very happy to hear Lin Qiu'er's words, because this man earns more money than a woman when he goes to work, and if their family goes to four at once, they can earn twenty taels of silver at a time.

Otherwise, it won't be long before the family will be much better, not the poorest in the whole village.

But when they heard their father's words, they also felt that their thoughts just now were a little too much, so they quickly lowered their heads.

Lin Qiu'er looked at them, and could see at a glance that these were all honest people, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we need people, I think the brothers are capable people, so let's go and work with us!" “

Tang Zhian also followed and said, "Yes! Uncle Hu, just let them go! We really need people. ”

The village chief finally came over to persuade him, "Okay, don't keep refusing, let's let the children go!" They don't take advantage of it, but make money with their own strength, since Zhi'an and they all said so, don't refuse. ”

Uncle Hu nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll agree." After speaking, he looked at his sons and said, "You must work hard after you pass, and you can't cause trouble and be lazy, you know?" ”

The four sons kept nodding, "Yes, we know." ”

"Okay, then it's settled." Tang Zhian said.

Uncle Hu smiled and said: "I know that you have a good heart, after so many years, you still remember the little things I did before!" ”

Tang Zhian looked at him and said, "I will definitely remember those who are kind to me." ”

The matter was settled, the village chief and Tang Zhian and they left, the people of the Hu family hurriedly packed up their things at home, and Dr. Zhang also came, he heard that Uncle Hu was kicked, and he still felt a little uneasy.

So I hurried over to take a look, this person can't be the same as a young man when he's old, and he still has to see a doctor if he is beaten.

After Dr. Zhang came over to check Uncle Hu's pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, you, pay attention in the future, don't rush forward with this kind of thing, you said it's okay this time, if you really get beaten up, what should I do?" ”

Uncle Hu smiled and said, "This is also a matter of no choice!" You said that there are so many people in the family, we have to pay twenty-five taels of silver, and the food at home can only be eaten for more than half a year, and we have to drink porridge every day, otherwise we will definitely be hungry, but this is not enough! ”

Doctor Zhang sighed and said: "It's also that there are too many things this time, from last year to this year, but it will be fine in the future, didn't Zhi'an let the four sons of your family go to work?" This time, it's twenty taels of silver, and your family's life will always be better. “

Uncle Hu smiled and said, "It's all those two children who have good hearts!" I used to just help out and didn't do much, but they remember it now. ”

Dr. Zhang smiled and said: "It's not that you don't know, those two children are like that, others treat them well, they keep it in mind, and if they can help, they will reach out without hesitation." “

Uncle Hu agrees with this, Tang Zhian and Lin Qiu'er are indeed two very good children!

Dr. Zhang went back after seeing Uncle Hu, and by the way, he told the village chief that Uncle Hu had no problems with his health.
