Mulberry Town is not too far from Jiangzhou, the road is quite flat, and there are green mulberry leaves on both sides, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

A carriage came slowly.

"Brother-in-law, look! So many mulberry leaves! ”

Su Lingyue poked her head out of the carriage, her face full of surprise, like a dirt bun.

"Look at your little bit of talent!"

Lin Bai rolled his eyes.

I wanted to travel at public expense, but as a result, I was caught by this girl and had to follow.

The key is that the old mother-in-law actually agreed, according to Siniang, the old mother-in-law can't manage it anyway, so let him, who is the brother-in-law, take care of it.

Who let the brother-in-law write poems and fight, the little girl wears.

All right!

The old mother-in-law said so, Lin Bai dared not to bring it, after all, the mother had spoken, and this time she would get married afterwards, but the key was that the old mother-in-law nodded, so ......

can only be flattered in all directions.

"Uncle, the front is Mulberry Town, let's go to the town first or ......"

Chasing Moon asked while catching the car.

She was specially sent by Su Mingyue, and she has been by Su Mingyue's side, and she has been here with Su Mingyue, so she is relatively familiar with this place.

Second, she can use martial arts, and she can ensure Lin Bai's safety when she goes out.

Although Chasing Yue herself didn't feel that the events of that day were still fresh in her memory, and it was not certain who would protect whom, she was still happy to come.

"Let's go to town first."

I don't know anything about the situation here, so I can only start with the original channels of the Su family.

"Look! There are silkworm farmers there, and they are picking mulberry leaves. ”

The little girl was shocked.

Lin Bai gave her a brain meltdown.

Look away.

There are many silkworm farmers picking mulberry leaves on both sides of the road, and there is a small village in the distance, with smoke curling, naughty children chasing and fighting.

In addition to this, there was the sound of a woman crying.

"What's going on?"

Su Lingyue's curiosity was offended.

As the carriage drew closer, several men were surrounding a woman, who was sitting on the ground and weeping, not knowing what she was talking about.

"Damn, how many big men bully a woman?"

The little girl is full of chivalry, and it seems that she is about to rush out.

Very good!

There is a lot of potential to cause trouble!

Lin Bai grabbed her by the collar and said with a straight face: "You little girl, what did you say when you came?" ”

"Brother-in-law, they bully people, don't you scholars all say that the road is uneven, draw a knife to help?"

"Second Miss, that's what people who practice martial arts said."

Chasing the moon interjected.

"It's all the same anyway."

Lin Bai said angrily: "Why are you bullying people?" People stood there, and they didn't do anything. ”

"Use your brains, this is the village, and outsiders don't dare to come nonsense."

Saying this, Lin Bai was also a little curious in his heart, and the little girl kept chattering, so he decided to take a look, and by the way, he learned about the market of silkworm cocoons.

When the three of them approached, they heard the woman's crying voice becoming clearer and clearer, "You guys are good, the family can't open the pot anymore, you can't lower the price anymore, we won't be able to live anymore, Xiaohu is still lying on the hospital bed, and the village chief ......"

"Don't cry, outsiders still think that we have what happened to you, love to sign or not, and now I don't want to inquire about any market."

"It's just that if you don't sign it now, you won't be able to sign it later."

"Brother and sister! Everyone is the same, it's not your family, think about it yourself! ”

The man known as the village chief waved his hand, "Let's go to the next house first!" ”

The little girl originally wanted to be chivalrous, but when everyone left, she was a little disappointed.

But the woman's weeping did not stop, but grew more and more grieved.

"Auntie, did they bully you? Don't be afraid, we'll stand up for you. ”

The little girl wanted to chase her out as she spoke, but Lin Bai grabbed her collar, and her two hands could only punch Wang Ba indiscriminately into the air, "Brother-in-law, let go of me!" ”

The woman finally stopped crying, glanced at a few people, seemed not to say anything, and struggled to get up.

Chasing Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said, "Auntie, do you have any difficulties?" Say it, maybe my aunt can help you. ”

I just heard the other party crying, what is the price down, chasing the moon has already roughly guessed what is going on.

That's what the group came here for.

When the woman heard this, she looked at the people seriously, "Who are you?" ”

Chasing the moon said: "We are from Sujia Buzhuang, this is my uncle." ”

"Buzhuang?"

Hearing these two words, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down directly, "Childe, childe, you can do well, the price can't be lower, the women really can't live anymore, the women are orphans and widows, ......"

"Auntie, don't do this."

Lin Bai was completely blinded, and hurriedly supported him, "You get up first, you have something to say!" ”

"Yes! Auntie, my aunt and those people just now are not together. Chasing Moon also hurriedly explained.

The two talked so much that they finally persuaded the woman.

"Auntie, what kind of agreement did they sign for you, and did the price press down a lot?"

Lin Bai asked.

The woman nodded, "Childe, it's not that the women are greedy for money, we really can't live anymore, the young silkworms are easy to get sick, they will die if they are not careful, they will be busy all year round, and there are all kinds of taxes, and it is good to be able to stutter when the year is good......"

The woman seemed to have found an outlet and brought about the hardships one by one.

Lin Bai was also born as a farmer in his previous life, although he was not so bitter, but he could understand it some, the little girl had been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she couldn't understand it at all, and her eyes were full of incredibleness.

"Auntie, even so, life won't be unbearable, right?"

When the woman asked, she sobbed again, "It's all because of the people's wife, he was originally a soldier, he had been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, but then he was seriously injured, his legs were wasted, he couldn't work anymore in bed, and the medicine didn't leave his mouth for many years, plus the head tax of the court couldn't be less, year after year, life couldn't go on." ”

"Isn't there a pension in the imperial court?"

Chasing the moon couldn't help but say.

"I said yes, but the women didn't see a lot of money, most of them were greedy."

"Damn, these corrupt officials!"

Su Lingyue gritted her teeth and asked, "That uncle, he?" ”

When people asked about her husband, the woman's tears seemed to burst.

"Gone! When the tax collector came last month, the family couldn't come up with the money, and the husband didn't want to drag down the women and children, so he secretly hanged himself at the head of the bed in the middle of the night. ”

What!!

The little girl's face instantly turned pale, and she was stunned.

Chasing the moon was not much better, and he trembled.

Even Lin Bai couldn't hold back a little, although this kind of thing is not uncommon in history books, but this is Jiangnan!

The prosperous Jiangnan since ancient times!

If this is the case in Jiangnan, isn't it ...... other places

"Childe, you are doing well, the women really can't live anymore, the husband is gone, and the women can't lose their children anymore."

When she mentioned the child, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly ran home, "Huzi Huzi!" ”
