The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 113

The youngest Su came back to the Su family with the envious and jealous eyes of others, so he was a little flustered.

Before reaching the door of the house, he saw Bai's head from a distance, followed by the eldest brother and the second brother's family, looking forward to it at the door.

Su Laosan subconsciously turned his head back, thinking that they were welcoming some distinguished guests, but there was no one in front of him, only the folks who followed him to watch the fun behind him, could it be that they were waiting for him?
The youngest Su was overwhelmed by the flattery. He quickened his pace and came to Bai Shi, and knelt down in front of Bai Shi with a plop, "Mother, my son is back."

Mrs. Bai was watching the two daughter-in-laws doing things at home, and heard that the grandson of the old man came back and said that the third uncle rescued the rich old man outside, gave him 20 taels of silver, and gave him a lucrative job, bragging outside Woolen cloth.

Without further ado, Mrs. Bai quickly called everyone at home over, making sure that the third child felt that the family treated him well.

Originally, Mrs. Bai was thinking that the third son Su was angry with her before leaving. This time, he must come back to show off the money he made. I am afraid that it will take a lot of coaxing to get his money. I don't want to meet He accepted his head and bowed, and Bai's heart became clear.

He wiped his tear-free eyes with his sleeve, and when he looked at Su Laosan again, his eyes were full of distress, and he slapped Su Laosan on the head, "You still know to come back? You left without a word. You know how worried my mother has been these past few months? I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat well or sleep well outside, and that no one knows what's going on when you're sick. Fortunately, you don't know how to send a letter back when you're well-off."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bai covered her face and began to cry, making Laosan Su, who was still wondering how Mrs. Bai knew that he was prosperous, messed up all of a sudden, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to bring the letter, it's really I can't find anyone who can bring the letter, it's not the end of the year, the boss gave me a leave, so I hurried back."

Bai Shi just kept crying, and only secretly gestured towards Boss Su who was next to him.Boss Su comprehended, took two steps forward, helped Third Third Su who was still kneeling on the ground, took the bacon and cloth bag from his hand, and stuffed them into the hands of his wife behind him, then said to Oldest Su: " Third brother, mother really misses you too much. Ever since you left, mother has been worried day and night. She just got better and got sick again. A while ago, she spent more than two taels of money on medical treatment and medicine. Besides, she paid five taels of land tax. It's hard at home right now."

Su Laosan was surprised, "Why did you pay five taels of land tax? Didn't you say that the new emperor ascended the throne, seeing that the people here can't afford food due to the drought, so they will be exempted from this year's land tax?"

This hurts my heart!After hearing what Su Laosan said, the Su family was silent, and Su Laoer said angrily: "Then who knew that the imperial court could exempt the land tax? The tax collector in the yamen said that paying grain tax in advance can exempt [-]%, and the family thought about it." Anyway, you have to pay it, saving [-]% ​​is [-]%, how do you know that the new emperor changed this year, and the land tax will be exempted? If you want to go to the Yamen to get it back, there is nothing you can do if they refuse to pay it."

Youngest Su nodded, "That is, how can I get back the money that has entered the yamen? Besides, maybe the yamen knew that the land tax would be exempted this year, so they would first fool people into paying the land tax before the imperial decree came down. Yes. In this kind of situation, someone should have thought of it, or the family still has money."

The Su family did not expect that the third son Su, who has always been the most honest and uninitiated, would say such words, and he was obviously so stunned that he didn't know how to refute for a while.
