I am not a lucky star through time travel

At this time, Aunt Li also said loudly, "That's right, 200 taels! It will take another 20 years to build a brick house and buy a cow. Can you earn so much? Is it because of the Chu family?" The bride price? Now that you've gambled away, you're going to make trouble at the Chu family, how shameless you are?"

After Aunt Li finished speaking, several women who usually had a good relationship with her also joined in, accusing the Bai family and his wife of being shameless.

The Bai family couple is still the same way, just crying and wailing.Lin Qiao didn't care, and said loudly, "Last time in the town, blacksmith Zhang can tell. He saw with his own eyes that Uncle Bai lost all 300 taels, and you even said that you gave me a dowry of 100 taels. How dare you brag!"

Blacksmith Zhang in the town is generally known to the villagers. Seeing what Lin Qiao said, many people believed his words, and those who were pointing at Lin Qiao stopped talking.

Lin Qiao said again, "If you really feel that you are too wronged, well, you can return the 300 taels of hire money from the Chu family, ask the Chu family to give me a divorce letter, and I will go back to work with you."

When he said this, the faces of the Bai family couple and the Chu boss couple changed drastically, and the surrounding villagers even talked a lot.

In ancient times, what a married woman feared most was being divorced.And Lin Qiao is not afraid, he is not a woman, and he has space and wood abilities, where can't he live?

And he knew that it was impossible for the Bai family couple to get 300 taels.Even if they could, they would not return the dowry money to the Chu family with their money-greedy hearts.

Seeing that they couldn't get any good, the Bai family couple stopped crying and left in despair.The Chu family couple also breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the yard.

After Lin Qiao thanked Aunt Li and the women who spoke for him, he also returned to the Chu family's courtyard.Quarreling is too tiring, more tiring than going to the mountains for a day.

Putting down the basket, he went to the vegetable field to get some soil, planted the few Polygonum multiflorum in the basket, and watered it again with the water soaked in his hands.After doing this, he went to Li's house again, and asked Dahei to go to the town to find Brother Zhuzi, saying that he wanted to go to the county seat tomorrow, and asked Brother Zhuzi if he would go with him.

Tomorrow is Brother Zhuzi's rest day, and with Brother Zhuzi accompanying him, Lin Qiao felt relieved. After all, he was neither familiar with the people in the pharmacy nor the prices of medicinal materials.

He could have gone to the town to ask questions by himself, but thinking about what happened just now, it's better not to go to the town, lest he be targeted by Uncle Bai's creditors.

After dinner, Dahei came back from the town, bringing brother Zhuzi with him, Lin Qiao was very happy, brother Zhuzi is so kind.

But it's all right, he still talked to Brother Zhuzi about the reward for accompanying him to the county seat, one hundred yuan at a time, he was embarrassed to make Brother Zhuzi busy all day.

Brother Zhuzi didn't want to ask for money, so Lin Qiao had no choice but to say that if you don't want money, you don't need him to accompany you, so Brother Zhuzi agreed.

After seeing the century-old Polygonum multiflorum root dug by Lin Qiao, Brother Zhuzi was very surprised. He only praised Lin Qiao as a lucky star, and he could find such good things every time.

Lin Qiao wrapped the four hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum with dry straw, put it on the bullock cart, and covered it with another layer of straw.

Going to the county this time was a bit harder than the last time. The weather was too hot. Lin Qiao was worried that the Polygonum multiflorum would be sunburned, but he lifted the straw and looked at it a few times on the way, so he was relieved when he found nothing unusual.

When we arrived at Baicao Hall, we still looked for the buddy named Cang Zhu from last time.Cang Zhu's master was also very surprised when he saw Lin Qiao's century-old fleece-flower root. He said that he had never seen such a big one. He weighed it with a scale and found that the heaviest one weighed thirty catties.

Ordinary Polygonum multiflorum is not very valuable, but the ones dug by Lin Qiao are more than a hundred years old, and they are all in human form, so they are worth more.

The last four counted to a total of seven taels of silver.Although it is not as good as Tianma, Lin Qiao is already very satisfied.

After eating, the three of them rushed back in the scorching heat.

Lin Qiao was not afraid of the envy of the Li family when he used Dahei's ox cart so frequently. After all, few people dared to enter the deep mountains, and that was risking their lives.Moreover, there was very little swearing, and he had never traded with Lin Qiao, so he didn't know what he was selling and how much he sold it for.

As for Brother Zhuzi, he is even less worried. He has gone to the town to sell so many things, and he only heard from the villagers that he sells bamboo shoots, mushrooms and vegetables. Very tight.

This time, brother Zhuzi still asked to send Lin Qiao back to Xiaolinzi Village, and then stay at Li's house at night.The next morning Lin Qiao went to the town with Dahei's ox cart. He still had some dried herbs to sell, and he needed to buy some things back from the town.

After selling the medicinal materials, he went to the butcher shop, weighed twenty catties of meat, went to the pastry shop and bought ten catties of mung bean cake, and first went to Zhang Blacksmith's shop to send ten catties of meat, thanking him for his help last time.

After returning to Xiaolinzi Village, Lin Qiao asked Aunt Li to send some meat and mung bean cakes to the women who spoke to him that day.

No matter which era, public opinion plays a very important role. From this incident, it can be seen that the reason why the Bai family couple were disgraced and did not take advantage of it was not that Lin Qiao was justified, but that most of the villagers blamed them.

Lin Qiao is not a person who doesn't know how to be grateful, but if others show him a little kindness, he will definitely return it.

As for the Chu family, Lin Qiao didn't expect them to defend him. It would be good not to join others in accusing him.

By the end of June, the rice is almost mature, and every household is preparing to harvest the rice.Lin Qiao didn't have the courage to stand under the sun to help the Li family harvest rice, so he could only deliver more meat and vegetables to their family. Seeing that the plums had all gone to the field, he took over the cooking work.

Because there are no mechanized tools, the speed of harvesting is very slow. The harvested rice is transported back by ox cart, spread out on the yard in the yard and exposed to the sun. Beating with a flail is physical work anyway, and you have to work overtime until midnight, or if it rains, it will be a year in vain.

After the rice was harvested and the rice was threshed, it was already mid-July, and everyone in the Li family was tanned. Even Lin Qiao was quite dark, but compared with the Li family, they were still very white.

This year's harvest is good, and every household is beaming with joy. After the rice is dried, it is time to start paying the rent. There is an endless stream of tenants who come to Chu's house to pay rent every day.

The Chu family's land rent is not very high, [-]% of the rent.As for the land tax, it is paid by the big landlord of the Chu family, which seems to be a tenth tax.

Of course, for those tenants who do not take the initiative to pay rent, Boss Chu will bring a few aggressive long-term workers to the door to demand rent at this time.

The rice handed over was good and bad. Most of the tenants were honest farmers. The rice was raised cleanly without any other debris, and it was dried in the sun. These can be piled directly to the Chu family. In the barn.

As for those dishonest tenants, those whose rice has broken stones or straw leaves, or those who have not dried in the sun, the Chu family will not be polite, and they will not calculate according to the weighed weight. The rice should also be spread out on the lawn in the big yard and turned over to dry again.

The Chu family has been very busy during this time. They have to collect and weigh the rent, and they have to go out to press for the rent. Even Mrs. Chu and Chu Yao are busy turning and drying the millet.

After all this work, it will be August again, and it is time to collect autumn taxes. This is the time when farmers have sold their surplus grain and have money in their hands. When will they not collect it now?

Li Zheng led the officials in the yamen to go door to door to collect land taxes and poll taxes. Since the vast majority of villagers in Xiaolinzi Village did not own their own fields, the main collection was poll taxes.

The Great Jin Dynasty did not pay a heavy tax on polls. From 15 to 60 years old, regardless of gender, each person was 14 Wen, and from [-] to [-] years old, each person was [-] Wen.

Li is being collected according to the household registration book.Brother Bai's share of poll tax, he had handed over to Mrs. Chu long ago, so as not to be said to be ignorant.

After finishing these trivial matters, Lin Qiao started to go to the mountains every day.Not to mention, in addition to the medicinal materials, he actually found several kinds of mosquito repellent plants for him. He dug them up by their roots and transported them back to Chu's family to raise them in pots.

Although it is August and the weather is a little less hot, there are still as many mosquitoes as densely packed.After trying it all night, the effect of the mosquito repellent was really good. Even with the doors and windows open, he was not bitten by mosquitoes, and his ability also showed that these kinds of mosquito repellent were not poisonous and did not cause any harm to people.

Since it was a good thing, Lin Qiao sent a pot to Boss Chu.When he entered the yard, he saw Boss Chu lying on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed, his complexion was very bad, and he occasionally coughed a few times.While Chu Yao was fanning gently on the side, Lin Qiao was afraid that they would be upset if they saw her, so she left after delivering the things.

Afterwards, another pot was sent to Li's family, and the rest was brought to the town to give to Brother Zhuzi, his master, and Blacksmith Zhang.

In addition to the mosquito repellent, Lin Qiao bought a few catties of wine and a few catties of meat for Blacksmith Zhang.Brother Zhuzi helped him carry the wine and meat into the blacksmith's shop.

Seeing them, Zhang Tiejiang was very happy and insisted on keeping them for dinner.

When the food was on the table, Blacksmith Zhang pulled out four boys, pointed at Lin Qiao and the others, and told them to call them uncles.

Lin Qiao couldn't help complaining, calling him uncle?Are your two eldest children probably older than little brother Bai?

The boys called "Uncle" without shame, and were sent by their father to eat in the kitchen.

After the three of them drank a jug of wine, Brother Zhuzi put down his glass and asked, "Brother Zhang, where's your brother? Why don't you invite him to eat?"

Blacksmith Zhang also put down his wine glass, and sighed, "It's still the same, lying on the bed! Zhuzi, you have to keep an eye on me, as long as you have a hundred-year-old ginseng, tell me right away. "

Lin Qiao didn't understand Zhang Tiejiang's affairs, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and just ate in silence.

While chatting and talking about important national affairs, Zhang Tiejiang sighed, "It is estimated that there will be a war."

Brother Zhuzi nodded, "I've heard that too."

Blacksmith Zhang slammed the table down, and said angrily, "This group of tartars dare to offend us, they deserve to be killed! If I didn't have such a family to take care of, I wish I could kill them right now."
