Chapter 173: Deliberation

When the old lady heard this, she immediately turned her face, "What? You unfilial thing, I am your mother, and I worked hard to raise you. If you don't help me, just let me work? What have I done to raise you beasts? None of them feel sorry for me? One by one, I can't wait to eat my meat. ”

Wu Chunsheng saw this situation over there, and hurriedly came over, "Mother, what's wrong?" If there is something wrong with Yue'e, you can say that she looks like such a noisy voice? ”

"You get out of the way for me, I'm talking to my daughter, what's the matter with you? It's just that you don't like me all day long, and Yue'e and I are distracted, so you have only lived at home for a few months? You're just muttering about building a house over here, and you're just looking at me as an eyesore, right? The old lady came up and pointed at Wu Chunsheng, but she didn't say anything nice.

Chunsheng's face changed twice, and he finally held back, "Child, I'll go to the field to take a look, you can do it yourself." "He didn't want to see the old lady like this.

When Chunsheng left, Yue'e turned her head to look at her mother, her heart full of helplessness, "Mother, I really regret coming back now." Why do you think I'm dizzy? I forgot what kind of character my mother was. Mother, in your heart, there is no one else, just yourself. It looks like you love the third child, but in fact, you only value yourself. It's just a cooking job, how tiring can it be? The third daughter-in-law can't just let you do it yourself, how much do you help, can you use this? ”

Yue'e was a little angry, "This can't be done, Yuchan and the two have to work at home, and our family's life is not easy, and no one has that idle time." Yue'e categorically rejected her mother's proposal.

As soon as the old lady saw this, she began to scold Yue'e, and all kinds of ugly words came out. "God, why don't you strike a thunderbolt to kill these conscienceless people, I gave birth to her in October, and now she treats me like this? You are a wolf's intestines, no one has a conscience, you wish I was tired to death. ”

Yue'e is really full of anger, she just doesn't want her daughter to come over to help, why do you pull out so much? "Mother, you are my mother, I am raised by you, if you think you are losing, you will kill me. I now understand what kind of life my second brother is having after he comes back. ”

When the old lady heard this, she jumped even higher, "What? What do you say? You tell me again? The old lady raised her hand and wanted to beat her daughter.

Yuxiang is at home, where can the old lady really beat her mother? Yuxiang took a step forward and grabbed the old lady's wrist, "Grandma, how old is my mother, where can you beat her?" ”

The old lady wanted to pull her hand back, but where could she compare to Yuxiang's strength? I didn't pull it back. The old lady came up with a fire, and the other hand was about to hit Yuxiang. At this time, a hand reached out behind her and grabbed her hand.

"Mother, what do you think you're doing? I'm so close behind that I can't catch up with you. Yuxiang is still a child, what are you doing beating a child? It turned out that Han Yi rushed over and stopped his mother's movements. He looked up at Yue'e, "Eldest sister, my mother was also worried that the family would not be able to catch up, so she came up with such an idea." It's okay, it's a big deal to let Yu cook at home, and I'll clean up at home slowly. ”

Han Yi has changed a lot in the past two years. Since Han Yong is gone and Han Ren has also moved away, Han Yi has realized that his mother's partiality can only make his brothers stay farther and farther away from him. Now that my sister is finally back, so close to it, Han Yi doesn't want to mess with her sister anymore.

Wu Chunsheng is very capable, and the Yuxiang brothers are also good children, both of whom are promising. Although it is not to take advantage of anything, it is good to have such relatives, walking around each other, and taking care of everything. So just now he pulled his daughter-in-law over, just because he was afraid that the old lady would make too much trouble and offend the Wu family at that time.

When Yuxiang saw that his little uncle was coming, he naturally let go.

Han Yi took this opportunity and pulled his mother back, "Mother, let's just go home, don't worry, I won't let you work all the time, not even my father." Yun Zhao and Yun Xiao are also older, and it's time to learn to work in the fields. With that, he half-dragged and half-dragged the old lady away.

Yu Shi was a little embarrassed and said to Yue'e, "Eldest sister, I'm really sorry, I didn't stop our mother just now." ”

Yue'e was really full of anger just now, looking at Han Yi and Yu's performance at this time, it was better, "Forget it, my mother is also in a hurry." In this way, our family has little land, wait for our side to finish, and let the Yuxiang brothers come over to help you for a few days. We are serious relatives, where can we watch you over there? "Yue'e is such a temper, if you come hard, she is not used to people, but if people say it well, she will be soft-hearted.

"When the eldest sister says this, I won't shirk it, and I'm really busy." Yu Shi happily agreed. "Okay, eldest sister, I'll go back and take a look first, the old lady has been too angry in the past two years, don't make trouble with the old man again." Yu Shi thanked Yue'e, and then left in a hurry.

Yue'e looked at Yu's back and couldn't help but shake her head. Isn't this old lady's temper getting worse and worse? Fortunately, Yu is a little daughter-in-law, and the old lady is not too embarrassed for her because of Han Yi's face. In addition, Yu Shi is a person who can pretend to be in his heart, although he doesn't like to talk much, but he is very smart. knows the severity and never messes with the old lady, and it has been peaceful all these years.

However, it was also because the old lady was bent on bullying the Liu family before, and later tossed the Li family, so she didn't put her mind on the Yu family. After that, it doesn't have to be what it will look like.

"Mother, do we really want to go over to help then? Sister Yunxue was sick before, and they had a lot of land, so I thought about helping out for a few days in two days. Yuxiang muttered. He really doesn't look down on the old lady of the Han family, he is babbling all day long, taking the shelf of an elder, but he doesn't do anything that an elder should do, he really doesn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Okay, let's not go to the old lady, to your little aunt, we should go over to help for two days. It's a big deal, when the time comes, my mother and your father will go over to help Yunxue and them. Yue'e smiled and patted her son on the shoulder. Go get your dad back, it's time for dinner. After Yue'e finished speaking, she took Sister Yuchan to cook, while Yuxiang went to call her father back.

In the evening, the people of the village met together to discuss the tax, and the village chief Zhao naturally said that the villagers of Shibadaogou rebelled against the servants in the yamen. As soon as the big guys heard this, they were so energetic that they were all gearing up to have a good fight with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

"Uncle Zhao, let's do the same. Damn, what are we doing now? The imperial court still has to collect taxes, why don't you kill us? Rather than being forced to starve to death, it's better to do something with them. The man of the Zheng family said very resentfully.

Many people next to him also agreed, "Yes, no one cares about Gao Li's people coming to rob our food, and when I ask for money, I think of the common people." We can't even take care of our stomachs, where can we have the money to pay taxes? This is still a summer tax that has never been there, grandma is a bear, and Lao Tzu has never heard of this name. If you don't pay it, the big guys don't pay it, how about these dog officials? ”

"I have discussed this matter with the chiefs of the other villages, and the ideas of each village are similar, and no one wants to pay this tax. I also agree with what you said, but we big guys have to understand in our hearts that if there is such a fuss, I'm afraid people will say that we are going to rebel. It's not a trivial matter, and if you can't get it right, you're going to lose your head. Let's all have to think about it. After all, Village Chief Zhao can think more, and he advises everyone to think carefully.

"Rebellion is rebellion, now that the court is dark, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, where is there a way for the people to live? We work hard in the fields all year round, and we have to pay more than half of the taxes for what we grow. Now that this summer tax has been added, if we just give it so smoothly, maybe the winter tax will come out again after a while? Our blood and sweat just got into the pockets of those corrupt officials, but what about us? Who cares how our days come by? If rebellion can have a way to live, then it will be the other way around. The man of the Zheng family was very short-tempered, and he waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Although everyone understands that this is true, but when it comes to the life of the family, everyone has to consider it carefully. "What Brother Zheng said is also reasonable, but we all have families. In case of trouble, we can run, and we can find a mountain to be the king of the mountain, but what about the people in our family? Can you still watch your family die? Some objected.

"If we don't resist, will we be able to live a better life? There is no food this year, and if you pay taxes twice, what will be left? At that time, I am afraid that the whole family will have to go hungry. At that time, didn't it also affect the family? The man of the Zheng family said.

This is really said that the hearts of the people are gone, the original tax is quite heavy, the production of one acre of land, almost to pay 30% to 40% of the tax, the rest is their own. The corn of an acre of land is only 600 catties at most, and it is generally about 500 catties, and it is good to be able to keep 300 catties at the end. Where is there enough food for this? Even when the year is good, if you count this summer tax, the year's income will go out seven or eight out of ten, where is there anything left? What do the people want to point to fill their stomachs?

"Well, it's really hard. Well, when those officials come again, let's discuss it. If you can negotiate and pay less, then we will pay it, if it doesn't work, just call them out. In the end, Village Chief Zhao made such a decision.
