"Mother." Chi Hang pulled Zhou aside and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about, how can we ask for these things?" โ
"Why not?" Zhou looked at Chi Hang with a disgusted face, and said with a cold face, "These classes are all good things, we poor people may not see them in this life, if we pass this village, there will be no such shop." โ
Lin Guyu walked in front of the housekeeper and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that my husband has always been keen to help others, after all, we have received Miss's intentions, and these are really not necessary." โ
The housekeeper listened to Lin Guyu say this, the smile on his face became even brighter, his eyes looked at the Zhou family on the side, and said hesitantly, "This? โ
"My mother-in-law is just joking, you don't have to pay too much attention to it." Lin Guyu said some good things again and sent those people away directly.
Zhou watched those people leave, wanting to catch up, but he didn't want to be stopped by Chi Hang.
"Are you stupid?" Zhou gritted his mouth full of silver teeth angrily, and was angry, "Those things, if we have them, even if we take out the silk on the wooden box and sell it, we can make a lot of silver." โ
Speaking of this, Zhou's face became even more ugly, and he raised his hand and pointed at Chi Hang's forehead, hating that iron is not steel, "Why don't you want so much money." โ
Seeing that those people were getting farther and farther away, Zhou pushed Chi Hang even more resentfully.
When the wound on his chest was not touched, he didn't feel much, but when he was touched by Zhou, Chi Hang's face instantly became ugly, and painful moans overflowed uncontrollably.
Lin Guyu walked quickly in front of Chi Hang, helped Chi Hang, and asked worriedly, "Is the wound cracked?" โ
The cold sweat on Chi Hang's face broke out, and he bit his lip tightly.
Zhou took a step forward to help Chi Hang, the expression on his face was a little uncomfortable, "What's wrong with you?" โ
"Caught by a wild beast." Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang worriedly, holding his arm and walking inside. "Come in and I'll show you."
Zhou's face tensed, and he helped Chi Hang to walk inside.
There was an oil lamp in the house, much brighter than outside.
Zhou's gaze fell on Chi Hang's clothes, and his chest was already dark, which looked very serious.
"I remembered that there was something else, so I'll go first." Zhou didn't dare to look at Chi Hang's clothes, and walked directly outside.
Dousha shook the rattle in his hand, walked to the side of the bed, raised his eyes to look at Zhou, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" โ
"It's fine." Chi Hang wanted to smile at the bean paste, but in the end, he just pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty.
"Bean paste, go over there to play, Daddy is sick, and my mother wants to help Daddy see a doctor." Lin Guyu reached out and touched the head of the bean paste and said with a smile.
"Oh."
Waiting for the bean paste to leave, Lin Guyu sighed lightly, "Take off your clothes, if you don't do it, I'll do it?" โ
"No need, I'll just do it myself."
Chi Hang didn't feel that he would be shy if he took off his shirt, but when Lin Guyu's eyes fell on him, the uneasy desires and desires in his heart always appeared uncontrollably.
Taking off his shirt, Lin Guyu clearly saw that Chi Hang's chest was already dyed red, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he walked to the side to take out the gold sore medicine.
"Really." When Lin Guyu was drugged, he couldn't help but think, "You should be careful in the future." โ
"Yes."
"I just said that I need to get some rest recently and don't go out again." Lin Guyu has been busy with the work in hand, waiting for everything to be wrapped, and then he stopped, "Okay, you will rest at home every day for the past few days." โ
"I don't have much firewood, I'll pick up some firewood tomorrow?" Chi Hang struggled for a while, and cautiously raised his eyes to look at Lin Guyu.
Lin Guyu frowned slightly, and looked at Chi Hang with displeasure.
Being looked at with such stern eyes, Chi Hang lowered his head unconsciously, "Then I won't go." โ
I took the bean paste to take a bath, and when the bean paste was washed, Lin Guyu continued to wash.
"You just wipe it, and don't touch the wound with water." Lin Guyu said uneasily, "If you touch the water, it's slower." โ
When Lin Guyu woke up, Chi Hang was no longer in bed, and when he looked over, he saw that Chi Hang was making breakfast.
The man was busy in the kitchen diligently, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he hurriedly walked over.
"Why don't you sleep more?" Lin Guyu took the spoon from Chi Hang's hand without a trace, and poured the rice inside into the pot, "You are not well yet, you should have a good rest." โ
"Get used to it." Chi Hang said, standing sideways to the side and looking down at Lin Guyu, "You are so busy every day, I should cook occasionally." โ
If in modern times, Lin Guyu thinks it's really great to find a man who can cook, holding a woman in the palm of his hand.
But here, how many men are willing to cook for their own women?
It's just that.
Lin Guyu lowered her eyes slowly, if Chi Hang's cooking was delicious, then she was really happy to help Chi Hang cook every day.
After breakfast, Lin Guyu was taking care of the herbs in the yard, and the bean paste seemed to be very interested in these, and followed behind Lin Guyu's fart and pointed to the herbs on the ground, asking non-stop.
Chi Hang sat aside, holding a wooden stick in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, constantly sharpening, and placing a few sharpened arrows next to him.
"Everyone hurry to the temple in the west of the village, the village chief has something to announce!"
"Hurry up, don't be busy, hurry up."
Zhao Yutian ran to the door of the Chi family, looked at Lin Guyu and Chi Hang, and shouted, "Fifth Brother Chi, hurry up, my grandfather said that there was an order from above." โ
"Hey!" Chi Hang responded, Zhao Yutian had already run away, and he was still informing other people.
Chi Hang put the arrow board in his hand on the ground, got up and walked in front of Lin Guyu, "Let's go over and have a look." โ
Lin Guyu pulled out the weeds, watered them, and then straightened up, "Wait for me to wash my hands, let's go together!" โ
Chi Hang and Lin Guyu walked towards the west side of the village, and many people around them followed them towards that side.
Lin Guyu hugged the bean paste, originally Chi Hang wanted to hold it, but his body was not well yet, and she disagreed.
When I walked to the gate of the temple in the west of the village, there was a bustle all around, and people from the village came.
The Zhou family took the Chi family's belated arrival, held his face high, and walked in front of Chi Hang with a proud face.
"Better?" Zhou's eyes looked in front of Chi Hang, pursed his lips slightly, and asked a little uncomfortably.
Since the separation, Zhou felt that this son was getting farther and farther away from her.
Chi Hang glanced at Zhou with some flattery, and then lowered his head, "It's okay." โ
Zhao Heizi, the head of their village, was standing on a big rock and shouted to everyone: "Be quiet, I have something to say." โ
Most of the people in the village were quite obedient, and when they heard the village chief shouting like this, they were silent, but there were still a few people whispering.
Zhao Heizi opened his eyes hard, glanced at the people below, and sighed, "Everyone, there was smallpox in our village this year, if it weren't for the fifth daughter-in-law of Chi, we wouldn't know if we would have survived until now." โ
This sentence hooks up how many people are sad.
If smallpox hadn't been cured, their village would have been wiped out.
Everyone's eyes looked at Chi Hang and Lin Guyu.
Dousha hugged Lin Guyu's neck with some fear, lay on Lin Guyu's shoulder, and whispered, "Mother." โ
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Lin Guyu stretched out his hand and patted the back of the bean paste, comforting him softly, and then looked at everyone with a sincere tone, "Folks in the big hometown, it is appropriate to help each other." โ
Village Chief Zhao walked down from above, walked in front of Lin Guyu, and said in a sincere voice, "Fifth daughter-in-law Chi, what you did for the people in the village, the people in the village will remember it." โ
"Yes, Dousha Niang, you worked so hard for us and didn't charge a penny, we naturally want to remember you."
"Dousha Niang, if it weren't for you, we might not have survived."
"Yes, you saved the people of our village......"
.......
Lin Guyu's head was dizzy when he heard what those people were saying, and his body subconsciously leaned towards Chi Hang's side, "Don't really care, it's just a matter of raising your hands." โ
Chi Hang also waved his hand, "Everyone, really don't care too much, my lady has always been a kind person, everyone knows each other so well, you don't have to worry about this matter." โ
The men were babbling.
Village Chief Zhao Heizi raised his hands and motioned for everyone to calm down, waiting for the quiet, and then the village chief said, "Although you say so, we still have to show our hearts. โ
"That's right."
"That's right, we still have to have some heart."
.......
I don't know why, Lin Guyu remembered that someone seemed to say that someone wanted to build a temple for her or something, which was absolutely impossible.
Village Chief Zhao Heizi frowned, and glanced at everyone, "The emperor's grace has reduced some taxes, and in the past few years, we have also had a good time, and the life of every family is getting better and better." It's just that a few days ago, the county lord handed us over, saying that the above was going to levy a human tax. โ
The so-called per capita tax is paid according to the number of people in each family, regardless of adults and children.
"According to the head, it will be five hundred dollars." The village chief coughed dryly, and his face was a little embarrassed.
As soon as he said this, almost all the people below exploded, some complained, some couldn't believe it, and they all chattered.
Five hundred dollars, who has so much silver?
Some people have several children alone, and when they hear this number, they all start counting on their fingers.
finally calculated the result, and the expression on the whole person's face became even more ugly, and the complaints were even more in his eyes for a while.
Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao frowned even tighter, and said stubbornly, "If you don't pay for it, you will pay for it, one person is a thousand yuan, that is, two people, we still have a choice, you can consider it." โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to make a fuss.
