"There's a wild boar in this trap, it's not big, even if it's a tael or a half.

It's only early summer, and the big worm may still be in the mountains, which means that at least for two or three months, my trap will be empty.

I still have three children to support at home, and I can't afford to lose my income.

The trap would be filled with wild beasts at intervals of three or four days, and the compromise would be counted as a tael of silver.

A month is eight taels of silver, even if it is two and a half months, that is, twenty taels of silver.

As long as Mrs. Wang takes out the twenty-one taels and five coins, this matter will be over. ”

How can she Su Mo's things be so coveted, if she doesn't let Mrs. Wang's family take off her skin, she won't be surnamed Su.

The people in the room were shocked.

More than 20 taels of silver, thanks to what Su Shi said?

In this place of Luoshan Village, how many families can save twenty taels of silver?

Mrs. Wang immediately wanted to scold, but was stopped by Wang Tongsheng with her eyes, and she lowered her head unwillingly.

The patriarch swept Su Mo's figure unhappily:

"Su, everyone is a part of Luoshan Village, and they don't look up and look down on weekdays.

Your opening is twenty-one or two or five dollars, which is excessive! ”

The other elders of the Wang clan also responded one after another:

"That is, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, the Wang family has already known that they are wrong, and they are willing to apologize, you don't want the lion to open his mouth!"

"Who in the world doesn't make mistakes, you are so unforgiving, if you make mistakes in the future, you can feel good if others treat you like this?"

Su Mo didn't back down at all, she raised her slap-sized face and said the most ruthless words with the most pitiful appearance.

"Aren't you clansmen laughing again?

Since I am reasonable, why should I back down, she has done something wrong, and she should not bear the consequences?

If I relented for a moment and forgave her, and spread the word, wouldn't anyone be able to step on our orphans and widows in the future?

If you don't want to, I will lead the three children to the yamen......"

When it came to this, the patriarch didn't dare to say more, so he had to capsize in the gutter in the dark, and he would not be able to look down on the woman with a weak appearance in the future.

Twenty-one taels and five dollars, where did Mrs. Wang take it out, crying and making trouble, and finally Wang Tongsheng threatened to divorce his wife, so he reluctantly went to the bedroom to take out a wooden box.

"Boss, this is all our family......"

She opened the box without tears, and there were some pieces of silver in it, and the title deed and so on.

The fields near Luoshan Village could not grow crops, but it did not mean that there was no owner, but they were all deserted, and the county order reported it, and after the imperial court learned the news, it was specially granted to exempt the tax and rent of these fields.

The total amount of silver was only ten taels, and Wang Tongsheng frowned: "Why is it so much?" ”

Mrs. Wang listened to Wang Tongsheng's questioning, and her breath was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't get up or down.

"What kind of paper, inkstone, pen and ink do you read without costing money?

There are also friends who drink tea with the academy on weekdays and take money from me, and the family eats, drinks and wears everything.

If it weren't for me and Yingying to do some embroidery work, as well as the subsidy from my relatives and my mother's family, we wouldn't even have ten taels of silver. ”

What's more, not long ago, Wang Tongsheng felt that this courtyard was dilapidated, so he asked Mrs. Wang to renovate it, inside and out, and spent a lot of silver.

Wang Tongsheng pulled his face and stopped talking.

Su Mo glanced at the box, and after seeing the title deed, his heart moved.

Left and right also want to buy fields, it is better to take these fields of Wang Pozi, and you can also get a good reputation.

Thinking of this, she coughed lightly, and the eyes of the clan elders suddenly moved away, for fear that she would make some trouble.

Before, it had been rumored in the village that the widows of the Gu family were especially capable of being demons, and they still didn't believe it, but the reputation of the Su family was inexplicable, so they didn't take it seriously.

Now I think that flies don't bite eggs, and there is a certain basis for saying that.

Unexpectedly, Su said: "The silver is not enough, and it is okay to use the fields to make it." ”

Everyone was stunned, and the patriarch was also a little surprised: "Su clan, these fields can't grow crops, are you sure you want them?" ”

Su Mo pretended to be unbearable and said, "What should I do?"

You can't really let Mrs. Wang's family drink the northwest wind! ”

When everyone heard this, they felt a little uncomfortable.

In retrospect, they were biased.

This Wang family cut off the way of life for a family of four, so he gave two taels of silver, and it is understandable that the Su family can say that.

Later, when it came to five taels, the Su family didn't speak, but the princess was reluctant to shout, and she reversed black and white when she opened and closed her mouth.

The clay figure still has three points of fire, and the Su clan will open his mouth widely, which is understandable.

The patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Su Mo with a much kinder gaze.

"Since you want to, do as you say.

Our Wang family does not take advantage of orphans and widows, and if we can't grow anything in this land, we will convert silver according to fifty percent of the market.

The Wang family has fifteen acres of land, do you think you want to neutralize the law? ”

In the first year of Yuan Yong, the imperial court ordered the registration of the population and the division of fields.

At the beginning, there was no village here, and it was only because of the Chen and Wang clans that there was Luoshan Village.

Therefore, the people in the village divided a lot of fields, and according to the head, one person could divide two acres of land.

Wang Tongsheng was a young man at the time, and his parents and brother Wang Dafu were at home, as well as his grandparents and two younger brothers, so he shared a lot of land.

In the spring of the following year, the four of them did not survive, and Wang Tongsheng's father and mother sold some of the land, leaving exactly fifteen acres.

And here is a small county town, the price is not high, one acre of fertile land is worth two taels of silver, according to fifty percent, fifteen acres is only fifteen taels.

Su Mo said decisively: "I want all the fields, and see how much silver is lacking and then make up for it." ”

After this conversion, the princess only paid six taels and five coins of silver.

Inexplicably happy in his heart, Wang Tongsheng handed over the silver money and the title deed, and he couldn't wait for the Su family to quickly take the things and leave.

The elders of the Wang clan looked at the Su clan's gaze and gradually became kind, and their old faces were a little hot.

is a lot older, and it is really embarrassing to maliciously speculate about a weak woman who was forced by them to be anxious.

The matter has been agreed, and Su Mo and Wang Pozi, under the witness of the elders of the Wang clan, promised to write off the matter.

Gu Jinnian had already slipped out in advance.

Su Mo stuffed the field deed and broken silver into his arms, glanced at the courtyard of the royal family, and walked out quietly.

The duo turned, walking side by side on the road.

Most of the Wang family lived at the head of the village, and the Chen family also lived at the end of the village, and the village chief's house was in the middle of the village, that is, next to the well.

Su Mo looked at the road, and only after passing by the well did he speak: "Tell me, what do you think of my actions tonight?" ”

Gu Jinnian was suddenly asked, slightly wrinkled, and was one step behind Su Mo.

He hurriedly followed, his brain was racing, and he blurted out the abdominal manuscript that had already been typed.

"It's dragged on a bit.

The people of the Wang family want to take the career path, and they are afraid of reputation, and the people of the Wang family want to be polished, so they naturally have to protect the Wang family.

That being the case, if you directly report to the officials, they will not dare to have any more objections and obediently offer the silver.

And if they are willing to give money, why do they want the field?

Some of the king's family on the left and right subsidized silver, but those fields could not grow crops, and it was a waste to ask for them. ”
