The ugly daughter-in-law of a peasant family wants to shake things up

Chapter 168 The Great Favor

"If there were no taxes, my family's life would definitely be much better than it is now!"

Today's meal was full of oil and water, and the old lady was afraid of having an upset stomach at night, so she walked around in circles in the yard.

Jiang Ran followed and circled.

"Then what if grandma puts all the land in Rokuro's name?"

The old lady paused.

She understood Jiang Ran's words, but she didn't understand them.

"Fourth, come here!"

Zhou Dechang wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and ran to his mother in a few steps.

The old lady pointed at Jiang Ran: "This girl just said that our land will be in Liulang's name. Do you mean this?"

"A Ran, are you kidding me?" Drool stuck in Zhou Dechang's throat.

He was so suffocated that his eyes widened.

Jiang Ran nodded: "I thought our family has this resource and we don't need to use it in vain, so I just wanted to ask you!"

"Uncle, I have no other intention. I just want you to relax. I definitely don't mean to care about you. If you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't say anything!"

Zhou Dechang turned around and shouted: "Brother, come here, it's a great thing!"

With one voice, he called all the men and women of the Zhou family over.

Zhou Dechang repeated Jiang Ran's words.

Everyone in the Zhou family couldn't believe it.

There was already a smile between his eyebrows.

Zhou Deren is now a grandfather, but he is still trembling with excitement.

His lips trembled for a long time.

"Aran, this is not a joke! Our paddy and dry fields total more than [-] acres!"

Jiang Ran patted his chest and said, "Uncle, I'm not kidding at all. I asked Liu Lang, and I came to ask you after Liu Lang agreed!"

Zhou Deren told himself not to be too excited, but he still shed tears of joy.

To outsiders, their family may seem prosperous, but in fact, if they have more people, the annual tax will be two to three taels more than that of other families.

The whole family lived frugally and paid taxes on all the money they saved in a year.

The days always have no end in sight.

If there were no taxes, their family's life would surely gradually improve.

But they still have to see Rokuro nodding his head before they believe it.

Zhou Deren didn't feel that he was losing face, so he said directly: "Aran, this is a big deal. My uncle wants to hear Liu Lang's personal consent!"

"Okay, then uncle, go to the house!"

Jiang Ran took Zhou Dechang into the house. The rest of the Zhou family stopped eating. They put down their bowls and chopsticks and leaned on the door and windows to listen.

Everyone felt so excited that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

"Liu Lang, this is uncle!" Jiang Ran brought someone in, and Xie Siheng sat up.

When Zhou Deren heard that Liu Lang was injured, he quickly asked Liu Lang to lie down: "Liu Lang, lie down quickly!"

"Jiang Ran said that you agreed to let us put the land in your name. This matter is really big. My uncle wants to hear it from you personally!"

Zhou Deren kept his posture very low.

There is no air of uncle at all.

Xie Siheng said quietly: "Uncle, I proposed it on my own initiative. Since I have this convenience, I might as well give it to my own family!"

"I just listened to what you said. The Zhou family has about thirty people, big and small. The taxes cost three to four taels of silver a year, not counting food!"

"The farmers have about two taels of silver in their hands throughout the year if they are good, and one tael of silver if they are not good, which is barely enough to fill their stomachs!"

"Once there is a natural disaster, I'm afraid my stomach won't be full!" "So I want to lighten the burden on my uncle. Jiang Ran has always remembered how good you were to them, so I want to help you lighten the burden!"

Zhou Deren looked at Jiang Ran, feeling warm in his heart.

My eyes are wet too.

He was so excited that he kept sniffing and still cried.

"Liu Lang, your words have helped my uncle's family a great help. Uncle, thank you and Aran!"

"Three or four taels of silver a year, or three or four taels of silver in ten years. This is a lot of money!"

"The money you save can help your children study and your grandparents eat better!"

Zhou Deren calmed down his emotions as he spoke.

"Liu Lang, our Zhou family will remember your great kindness. If you need help in the future, just ask!"

Just as he finished speaking, he thought about his brother-in-law.

"Aran, I heard your parents said you were going to build a house for them in Shitang Village. Don't worry when you go back!"

"Your family can't live in it. We will go back in a while. We will come early tomorrow morning to help your parents thresh the grain. When our crops are harvested, the family will have nothing to do. We will all go over and help build the house!"

"Look at our family, which has so many people, big and small. Do you think it would be okay if we could save just one person?"

Xie Siheng gave them a great favor. No matter how long this favor lasted, Zhou Deren wanted to repay them as much as he could.

Only in this way will they feel at ease.

Jiang Ran squinted his eyes and said: "Everything depends on my uncle's arrangements. I don't understand the matter of building a house. I just need to discuss it with my father!"

"Originally, Liulang planned to go back alone tomorrow. Since I have uncle to help me, I am not afraid anymore. I will go back with Liulang tomorrow. You can go back to Shitang Village to find us!"

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Zhou Deren came out of the house happily.

The women of the Zhou family cried excitedly, and the men shouted in the yard.

The old lady yelled at them: "Shut up, all of you. Only our family knows about this. If anyone spreads the word and causes trouble for Rokuro, get out of this house!"

The cheering people immediately shut up.

The old lady struck while the iron was hot: "You guys!"

She pointed at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law: "Don't be jealous, and don't tell your parents about this!"

"Since you are married, you must first consider your husband's family's affairs. Only when your husband's family's life is better can you be able to support your mother's family!"

"I know you have suffered a lot these years. If you can put the fields in Liulang's name before the autumn harvest, you will save this year's taxes. You can buy more things to go back to your parents' home during the Chinese New Year, so that you will have the confidence!"

"If any of you is lax and feels it's unfair in your heart, and insists on telling your mother-in-law and causing any trouble to Liu Lang, then you have no choice but to leave our Zhou family!"

"Our Zhou family does not raise people who stir up trouble!"

The little old lady's voice was clear and firm, and every word hit the hearts of the Zhou family.

Jiang Ran felt warm in his heart.

There is a difference between people.

The old lady of the Zhou family is at the helm, and if she grasps the direction well, the Zhou family's life will get better and better.

After the meal, the women of the Zhou family helped clean up the kitchen, and a large group of people went back.

Jiang Ran asked Uncle Chen to drive a carriage and pull a cart of people, and Zhou Deren drove an ox cart to pull a cart of people.

When I left, I brought meals to those who stayed at home.

The moon and stars were sparse, and everyone in the Zhou family felt warm in their hearts.

The Zhou Deren brothers crowded into the bullock cart.

"Mom has just said what I should have said. Let's talk about it after you two go back. Watch the people in your house and don't cause trouble for Rokuro!"

"Especially if you don't let the old Jiang family members know!"
