Now, someone had intercepted her all of a sudden. Liao was furious. But then she thought, what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, they had to pass by their house.

Others collected other people's tolls, and I collected my own. In this way, in a blink of an eye, there were five or six women sitting on the village road, all collecting tolls.

The people from other villages who came in later were miserable. They thought they could pass through smoothly after giving the money, but they had to go through several checkpoints in a row. There were five or six old women sitting on the short village road of a few hundred meters.

After giving one, he had to give a second one. This trip cost him fifty or sixty cents. But if he didn't give them, the grain would have to be taken back. He was hoping to sell the grain and get more silver.

Some villagers were reluctant to give and kept arguing and trying to get the money, which caused traffic jam along the road.

Shen Ping was waiting in the workshop, but no one came. She was wondering why there were so many people here just now and no one here now.

Just as she was thinking about it, two people came in from the door, smiling from ear to ear. They looked familiar, and Shen Ping remembered that they were Huang Jinhua's two brothers, Huang Jinshu and Huang Jinyin.

At that time, I stole food from my own village. I never thought that rice would be brought here to sell.

Shen Ping pointed out something: "It's you two! Why are you still bringing rice here to sell? Didn't we have no seeds at that time?"

"hey-hey……"

When the brothers heard Shen Ping talk about this, their faces turned red. Thinking back to what happened at that time, they felt so embarrassed that they were caught stealing seeds.

Huang Jinshu blushed and said, "Yu'an, thank you so much for that. You are kind enough to forgive me. This time, it is also thanks to my third sister. When you were selling rice seeds, my third sister bought some for my brother and me."

"Oh~ no wonder!"

Shen Ping suddenly realized. She didn't expect that Huang Jinhua still had some brotherly love and was thinking about her parents' home when she had good things. She was wondering before why Huang Jinhua wanted so many rice seeds. It turned out that they were for her parents' home.

Shen Ping took a look at the receipt handed over by Huang Jinshu. It said 1565 jin. After calculation, it was 28 liang 215 wen in total. This was a considerable sum for a farmer.

Shen Ping counted the silver and handed it to them.

"Thank you Yu'an, thank you!" Huang Jinshu took the silver with both hands and thanked him repeatedly.

"These are all the food you grew yourselves, so just thank your sister!" Shen Ping raised her eyebrows.

"I still have to thank you. If it weren't for your pesticides, we would probably have no harvest of rice. And the rice thresher was really a big help." Huang Jinyin interrupted.

This was the truth, and Shen Ping did not refute it this time.

"Okay, both of you get out!"

The two brothers were about to walk out when Huang Jinshu suddenly stopped. Huang Jinyin, who was walking behind them, almost bumped into him and couldn't help but mutter, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Jinshu looked back at Shen Ping, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing his posture, it seemed that he had something to say to her. Shen Ping couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Since Yu'an asked this, Huang Jinshu no longer hesitated and said directly: "Yu'an, you are famous. Kaoshan Village is famous because of you. However, I am afraid that some people will ruin your reputation."

"What! Please explain it clearly!" Shen Ping thought she had misheard and asked again.

The Huang Jinshu brothers repeated the story of Liao's request for tolls, which made Shen Ping's temples throb with anger.

"You are so bad, Liao, that you actually occupied the village road and collected tolls while you were purchasing rice." She had to bear the bad reputation herself, but it actually enriched her pockets.

"Okay, I got it!" Shen Ping said coldly.

Seeing that Shen Ping looked unhappy, the Huang Jinshu brothers quickly retreated.

He was wondering why he didn't see anyone coming, it turned out that they were all stuck on the road.

At this moment, several more people came up to pay the bill. In order to confirm, Shen Ping asked them about their situation again, and it turned out to be consistent with what Huang Jinshu said.

Shen Ping knew that she couldn't just ignore this matter. Not to mention that it would delay her rice harvest, but it would also damage her reputation and the reputation of Kaoshan Village.

After settling the accounts with these people, Shen Ping saw that no one else came. After thinking for a while, she asked Dadong to find the village chief, explain the situation to him, and ask him to come quickly.

When Dadong heard this, he hurried to find the village chief.

In addition, Shen Ping asked someone to go to the village road to find out the situation.

Unexpectedly, Liao Shi was so shameless. Zhang Tiezhu knew about this and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Come on, second son's wife, I'll go with you to take a look!"

"Let's wait for the village chief!" Shen Ping thought that the village chief was the head of the village after all, and it would be easier to talk with him present.

Although she was from Yu'an, she had earned some money, and there were always many people who hated the rich and spoke in a sarcastic tone. They only recognized the village chief and not her.

Of course, I'm not afraid, I just think it's better to have less trouble than more. Besides, if you get bitten by a dog, you can't necessarily bite the dog back.

The best way is to bring along someone you both respect and fear, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Soon, the village chief arrived. As soon as he heard what Dadong said, he hurried over. The Liao family was definitely kidding!

"Madam~"

The people who were sent out came back excitedly, running out of breath.

"Drink some water and take a breath first!" Dadong poured him a glass of water.

The man took a sip of water, calmed down, and then said anxiously: "Madam, you and the village chief should go over and take a look. There are five or six old women sitting on the village road, collecting tolls."

"What!"

Village chief He Guang became anxious when he heard this!

This is outrageous! These people are just fooling around. I thought there was only one Liao family, but I didn't expect everyone to follow suit.

He had to punish them! Otherwise, if the news got out, he would lose face as the village chief.

The village chief's face looked extremely ugly, and he said to Shen Ping, "Dachun Niang, let's go and take a look!" Then he walked out.

On the Liao side, several people were in a stalemate. Someone was collecting tolls ahead, and they thought they could go directly to the workshop after paying it.

Unexpectedly, there were a few old women sitting in the middle of the road behind us, collecting the money one by one, endlessly.

Now everyone was not happy about this. They had not even seen the official yet, but they had already been beaten with dozens of sticks. They had not even earned the money back, but they had already paid out dozens of dollars. The key point was that they felt uncomfortable.

"I gave you the silver, why is there someone collecting it?" a man shouted.

An old lady said confidently: "I don't care about other people's things. I only collect my own money. If you want to pass by my door, you have to pay."

"You are robbers!" The man said angrily, "Be careful or I will report you to the government."

"Go ahead if you're capable!" Liao put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "This is the Yu'an people who are granted the title by the emperor to buy rice. If you bring rice here, you must pay the toll!"

"Ha ha……"

A voice sneered: "How could I not know? I buy rice and collect tolls."

When Liao heard the voice, her whole body drooped. She knew that the voice was none other than Shen Ping, also known as Yu Anren.
