Crossing the Farmland Happy Events

Ye Chengliang felt that the faces of the people in this clan were not so big, otherwise he would have thought of selling a place in the family tree for a high price of ten taels of silver, so he really regarded himself as a famous family?Ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live frugally for four or five years, but some people can figure it out!

After sending Zhang Dali away, He Yan also felt that this group of people was disgusting when he heard Ye Chengliang say it.Didn't Zhang Guangshan and the former chief secretary's wife get locked up by themselves?How can they be ashamed to say that they will go back after being divorced? They are really shameless, and they really think they don't know the reason of the Central Plains?

The Zhang family really didn't know that the two officials told Situ Chenfei the whole story, so the members of the Zhang family always thought that no one else knew about it, except for the two officials.So most of the people who were in the patriarch's house at that time didn't think about the possibility of selling the qualifications of the family tree to move in, because they now know that Zhang Dazhuang's family is getting better and better, and it is not good to add two fourth-institutions. Is it a big tile house? !That's at least a hundred and eighty taels of silver!So ten taels of silver is not much from Zhang Dazhuang to enter the genealogy. According to them, Zhang Dali's request is too little, and they should ask for more. So no matter how you think, it is Zhang Dazhuang who took advantage of it, right?How could he not agree?

So when Zhang Dali told everyone that Zhang Dazhuang had no intention of entering the family tree again, the group were dumbfounded.No, no entry? !Wouldn't it be worth taking money out of their pockets? !

Zhang Dali's aunts and aunts quit the job first, anyway, whoever they like will pay for it, they will never pay for it!

Su Huilan was not happy when she heard that, "We can't pay for that. If it wasn't for my aunt, my father would be put in jail."

So the group looked at Zhang Dali again.

The patriarch also recovered now, he didn't look like he stepped into the coffin with one foot like yesterday.He said: "Dali, you have to think of a way to do whatever you say about this matter. Your aunt helped you a lot in your affairs back then. You should understand the principle of repaying your kindness. Although ten taels of silver is a lot , but it’s okay if you take out half of it, right?”

The patriarch's second-grandson daughter-in-law said: "Yes, Dali. A few years ago, you passed the entrance examination for renminbi and received renmi every month. In addition, the family land does not have to pay taxes. This family must have saved some money. Five or two pairs For your family, isn't that just a matter of lip-smacking?"

Zhang Dali looked ugly.In fact, since he came out of Zhang Dazhuang's house, his face has never looked good.Asking him to take five taels of silver meant that he would have to fetch Chen Qiufeng back first, or ask his mother for it.But according to his mother's temperament, it is impossible to get the money out, so he has to go to Chen Qiufeng.However, Zhang Guangshan didn't explain Cui Cui's affairs before. If the Chen family knew that he asked for money to redeem Zhang Guangshan and his aunt, would they be happy?

Zhang Dali thought, fortunately, the villagers didn't know about it yet.Unexpectedly, after lunch, he left the house, and before he had walked ten steps, someone asked him, "Hey, isn't this Dali? I heard that your cousin was divorced, but is it true?"

Aunt Mazi next to him said, "Didn't you say that you were sent to prison together with Zhang Guangshan? I heard that's what the official said."

Zhang Dali looked as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, not to mention how exciting it was, but he couldn't refute it with a single word!But at least God has eyes, and the news did not reach the Chen family.So Zhang Dali talked a lot of good things, and spent an afternoon working hard to bring Chen Qiufeng and Cuicui home.

But a new problem came again.Chen Qiufeng is not stupid, if he directly mentions the money, can Chen Qiufeng take it out?

In the evening, Zhang Dali tried every means to curry favor with Chen Qiufeng. At first, Chen Qiufeng ignored him, but then his heart softened somewhat.Unexpectedly, Zhang Dali raised the matter of asking for money as soon as the deposit was finished! ! !

Chen Qiufeng became angry immediately, "Okay Zhang Dali, you brought me back just to ask for money?!"

Zhang Dali quickly put a finger on his lips, "Slow down! Don't wake up the child!"

Chen Qiufeng would be surprised if he could keep his voice down, "I tell you, there is no money at all! How thick is it to get back after being divorced? You asked for it, why should we use money to redeem them! Don't talk about it, I will pack up and go back to my mother's house when the sun rises, so you don't need to mention it!"

"Chen Qiufeng! Don't go too far!" Zhang Dali sat up, "Do you think I'm willing to take this money? But Tang Auntie has helped me several times, if I don't get her out this time, people outside How are you going to talk about me?!"

"Arguing as much as you like, you still want to be famous? You want to be famous and you bring such an ugly person back home?! I'm pissed!"

Zhang Dali gasped, and said, "Don't tell me these things, just say whether you will take the money or not!"

Chen Qiufeng poked her neck and said, "How about not treating you?!"

"Me! I might as well divorce you, you heartless bastard!" Zhang Dali held his breath for two days in a row, now Chen Qiufeng added oil to the fire, Zhang Dali was completely blown up, "You still have the nerve to say you are ugly. No matter how ugly Ah Hong is, at least she knows how to be filial to my mother and how to take good care of her children. She can do anything. What about you?! How many times have you done work since you married me?! They say that marrying a wife is like marrying a virtuous woman. Understood!"

"Zhang Dali...you, you..." Chen Qiufeng was momentarily stunned.After being stunned, his face turned pale, as if all his strength had been drained from his body.She didn't expect that Zhang Dali could say such a thing.She didn't give birth to a son for him, because she didn't work too much because of her poor health, but...but it wasn't he who said back then, did she want to let her live a good life?When he asked her to break the marriage and let her family say that Zhang Dazhuang had died outside, his attitude was not the same as it is now.

"I won't take the money. If you are determined, you will divorce me!" Chen Qiufeng didn't know where he came from, but he didn't want to bow his head.

So the next day, such a scene appeared in the village.Chen Dalong and Chen Erlong chased Zhang Dali all over the village and beat Zhang Dali until he was screaming. Later, Ah Hong came out to protect Zhang Dali with a kitchen knife, saying that she would kill anyone who beat her son's father!Zhang Dali's clothes were scratched, he looked like a homeless man, he shrank his shoulders and hid behind Ah Hong, making people look at him and really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Most people cherish their lives, so Chen Dalong and Chen Erlong calmed down when they saw that Ah Hong was really going to fight to the death.In fact, they didn't really want to beat anyone to death, they just didn't want to see their sister being wronged.But looking at Dali now, I can only say that the sister in the family has lost his eyes, his mother has lost his eyes, and their brothers must have lost their eyes too.Right, after hearing that his father didn't spread the news of Zhang Dazhuang's death indiscriminately, will there be no troubles today?

In the end, I don't know whether it was because he was still thinking about his old relationship or because he was afraid of the two brothers of the Chen family, but Zhang Dali did not divorce his wife.However, Chen Qiufeng took the child back to her mother's house again, and this also led to a lack of money, and naturally no one could take it back.But day by day, the villagers always need someone to help them deal with some things.

On this day, everyone gathered together again, but it was no longer to elect Li Zheng, but to find someone to officially take over Li Zheng's position.Since Lizheng couldn't come back, they can't be blamed, who made Lizheng unpopular.If it's really that good, even if everyone in the family spends a lot of money to join together, I believe there are not many families who are not happy.The blame is to blame Zhang Guangshan himself for not being a thing, and the villagers don't miss him.

Several patriarchs and some prestigious elders of the village came out. It can be said that [-]% of the villagers were present.After everyone's recommendation, there are now two candidates.One is Zhuang Ping's grandfather, and the other is an elder of the Li clan.The two people are similar, and they are quite popular in the village. If there is any difference, the Li clan has been in the village for a long time, and they are natives and here, while the Zhuang family moved here later.But at the end of everyone's talk, it was the elders of the Li clan who made concessions.He said that he was getting old and his eyes were blurry, so let the young ones do it.

In fact, old man Zhuang is not very young, but compared to Mr. Li who is over 70 years old, he is indeed young and ruthless. In the end, the new Li Zheng became Zhuang Ping's grandfather.

On this day, when the higher-ups came to collect the poll tax, Mr. Zhuang took his two young children and the official who came to do the business with him, and began to collect money from house to house by keeping accounts.When we arrived at Zhang Dazhuang's house, Zhang Dazhuang was not there, and Ye Chengliang came out to greet Mr. Zhuang, "Huh? The tax was collected so early this year?" I remember that it didn't seem so early last year.

Seeing that the family is busy, the officials are not contemptuous, and honestly said: "Who knows, it's the arrangement from above, we have to Do this. There are... three people in your family, including an old woman?" The official said according to the previous record.

Young Master Zhuang wiped his sweat, "Now there are more people in his family, three adults and four children."

Ye Chengliang smiled, "That's right, Brother Guancha, the four little ones haven't registered yet. We'll go to register after we're done. But don't worry, we won't lose a penny for how much we have to pay. Please help Let’s figure out how much tax money our family will get this year.”

The official said: "This year's poll tax is the same as in previous years, it is still 740 yuan per person, but the corvee tax has increased to [-] yuan per person. You have a family of seven, and two young and middle-aged people have to pay corvee tax. One hundred Wen, plus the head tax of [-] Wen for each of the seven people, a total of [-] Wen."

Ye Chengliang said: "Okay, those few sit down for a while, I'll get it right away."

The official took the opportunity to take a rest and asked casually, "This family used to be the most difficult to receive money, but in the past two years, it has been the most enjoyable."

Mr. Zhuang smiled, "This family is diligent, and the boy in the family has married a capable daughter-in-law again. Life is just getting better and better."

The official was a little puzzled, "An old woman and two young adults, how can there be a daughter-in-law? Didn't the four say they are still children?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "It's the man who went in just now. Both of them are boys."

The official opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.It's not that they haven't seen such a family when they collected taxes, but it's definitely the first time they have seen such a good life like this one.There is a family in the village, also two men have formed a couple, and it is said that they will not be able to survive.

Ye Chengliang quickly counted 740 words and came out.For convenience, he always strings one hundred copper coins, and then several strings of five hundred copper coins, so it is easy to count, one string of five hundred, two strings of one hundred, and another forty scattered ones. It's over.

The official was thinking about it, and when he felt that it was almost there, he put the money in his pocket. Another official made a note of it, and then changed to another one to collect it.Because the date was advanced without prior notice, many people may not be able to give money immediately.And this counting seems to be very fast, but it is unlikely to be collected in a day.This is seriously going to take two or three days.But the most troublesome thing for everyone is the corvee tax, which has been rising year after year.

Zhang Dazhuang was not at home before because he went to Bai Yousheng's place. When he came back, he already knew about the tax collection from above, so he smiled and said to Ye Chengliang, "Guess what sister-in-law Shi Ling told me?"

Ye Chengliang is harvesting cucumber seeds. They are ground into powder and drunk with water, which can replenish calcium and strengthen bones. He is thinking of getting more. In addition to saving the seeds for next year's planting, he will make some for Li Jinge to drink.Hearing Zhang Dazhuang's question, he turned his head, "What are you talking about?"

"She said that she pays taxes every year, and this year is the happiest."

"That must be the case. In previous years, the family's harvest was only so much. This amount of money was enough to pay one-third of the annual income. Everyone would be heartbroken. But this year, the people who work in our house probably all Can you still take it out?"

"Well, but this year's taxation is always a bit abnormal. The new emperor will definitely have some measures to win the hearts of the people. It is not supposed to increase taxation like this. When you find an opportunity, you should ask Sun Jie how they collect it. .”

Coincidentally, Zhang Hezhi, who went to Jieyi Village to see the progress for the third time, came back. Ye Chengliang asked, hey, the head tax over there is still ten yuan per person, but the corvee tax is only one hundred yuan per person. Pen, Ni Ma Duo handed over hundreds of pens! ! !

Ye Chengliang was depressed at the time, they are all from the same prefecture, why is there such a big difference? !
