Nongmen Hot Wife

Chapter 250 Increasing Taxes
After seeing off the doctor, the Li family fell into a lively atmosphere, only Li Cheng left the room full of joy and returned to his own room.

In this home, he felt he would be ignored in the future.

In fact, he himself is quite inferior. Ever since he knew he couldn't, he felt that the world was about to collapse.But then I gradually got used to it, but no matter how I got used to it, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

……

"Okay, let her rest early, Li Shan, you are not allowed to touch her from tonight, do you hear me?" Yin Siniang said to her son.

Li Shan nodded with a smile: "Mom, do you still want to teach me this kind of thing? I know all about it."

"It's good to know." Yin Siniang went out after finishing speaking.

Seeing that the light in her grandson's room was on, Yin Siniang sighed and turned back to her room.

In the room, Liu He saw that he seemed a little redundant here, and went out after looking for a reason.

Li Shan looked at Zhang Xue'er lying on the bed, took the wound medicine left by the doctor, and reached out to take her injured hand while sitting by the bed.

Zhang Xueer resisted a little, but Li Shan didn't care, and said, "I'll apply the medicine on you, and it won't look good if it leaves scars in the future."

Zhang Xueer looked at him and let him apply the medicine.

"Don't do such stupid things in the future. There is nothing better than being alive. I also know that you have a sweetheart, but think about it for yourself. You ruined your life for that man, but that man still won't look at you. Do you think you are worth it?" Li Shan said to her angrily, "I also know that I have wronged you by letting you marry a man of my age, but I promise that I will treat you like my own daughter. , you can say whatever you want, I will definitely agree to it if I can do it, and I, Li Shan, am not an unreasonable person."

"Then can I go out for a walk from tomorrow?" When she came here, she saw that she had never left the gate of Li's house. She felt that she was imprisoned or locked in a cage.

"Okay, but you have to take care of yourself, and you can go anywhere you want." Li Shan readily agreed to her.

Zhang Xueer froze, looking at Li Shan with both eyes.

Seeing her staring at him without speaking, Li Shan touched her face and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Zhang Xueer shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Shan stopped asking, got up and put the medicine on the cabinet, and then turned to look at her.

"Okay, let me get you some hot water to wash."

Zhang Xueer didn't say a word, she lowered her head after watching him go out, and looked at her abdomen, where her hands were resting.

This is her second child. She failed to keep the previous one, but she is very conflicted about this one.

Thinking about it carefully, what my mother said is also true. If I go back, I don't know what the next family I will find will look like.A family like the Li family is easy to meet but hard to find. After all, she is not a big girl, and basically no one will want her.

After thinking about it for a long time, she felt that she wanted to live and live a good life. She wanted to let those who laughed at her see how well Zhang Xueer was living.

Li Shan came in with a basin of warm water, seeing that the expression on Zhang Xueer's face seemed to have improved, he didn't dare to ask, lest she would be unhappy again.

After wringing the veil dry, he handed it to Zhang Xueer.

"Wash your face."

Zhang Xueer took the handkerchief, wiped her face and hands, and gave it to him.

Li Shan poured water into one basin after another, and said, "Soak your feet for a while, and I will pour the water later."

Zhang Xueer nodded slightly, but still didn't say anything.

After several days passed, Liu He still hadn't come back, and Zhang Kai began to feel a little anxious.

Do you think it's really not coming back this time?

At any rate, they have been a couple for decades, so they are still a little worried about her safety.

Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Kai, his expression was not very good, and he asked a question.

"She hasn't come back yet?"

"Well, not yet." Zhang Tian nodded.

"Then go and find out, you two have been a couple for decades, what you should give up is still to let her go." Zhang Tian said.

Zhang Kai nodded: "Yes, I will go to Lijiazhuang to have a look."

"Stop quarreling, and persuade me to come back so angrily." Zhang Tian still didn't want to break up his wife and children with his age.

Zhang Kai nodded, locked the door and left.

Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Kai who left, and sighed.

Seeing him moaning and sighing, Liu Yun behind him opened his mouth all the way.

"I don't think Zhang Kai can bring Mrs. Liu back today. If she wanted to, she would have come back long ago."

Zhang Tian looked back at Liu Yun, and said: "Actually, there is something wrong with opening up this matter. As a man, he shouldn't say that about Liu Shi. Originally, Liu Shi is a little crazy because of Zhang Xueer's matter. His behavior will only make Liu Shi Crazier."

"What you said makes sense." Liu Yun agreed with his man's words very much.

Zhang Kai's reaction to those words really irritated Mrs. Liu.

"However, Mrs. Liu is too much. Who can bear her like that?"

"Let's not talk about this, I'm going to town, maybe I won't come back for lunch."

"Going to town again, what's the matter?" Liu Yun asked curiously.

"Who knows, the new mayor has something to do with everyone. I don't know what he wants to do."

After listening, Liu Yun waved his hand: "Then you go!"

Zhang Tian nodded, and then went to Daniel's house.

At Daniel's house, Daniel was weaving baskets in the yard, and when he saw the village head coming, he got up immediately.

"uncle…"

"I'm going to the town to borrow your horse for use." Zhang Tian said to Daniel.

Without further ado, Zhang Daniu went to lead Heizi, and then handed the horse rope to the village chief.

"Maybe I won't be back until the afternoon." The village head said to Daniel.

"Okay." Daniel nodded.

Just as Zhang Tian led the horse away, Zhou Yiran came out of the house, holding clothes in her hands.

"I'm off to do the laundry."

"Well, I'm going into the mountains later, and I won't be back at noon." Zhang Daniu said to Zhou Yiran.

"Okay, then be careful." Zhou Yiran said.

in town.

Zhang Tian came to the place where the mayor worked. There were already many village chiefs gathered here. When Zhang Tian entered, he heard everyone discussing.

As for what to discuss, it was nothing more than guessing what the mayor asked them to come here.

It was almost noon when Xie Qi came.

As soon as Xie Qi arrived, the place suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the new town.

Xie Qi walked over, sat on his seat and said to the village chiefs.

"You all sit down."

After everyone sat down, one of the village chiefs spoke.

"I don't know why the mayor called everyone here."

Sheki glanced at them, then spoke.

"I just got a notice that might not be a good thing for everyone."

Everyone frowned upon hearing what Xie Qi said.

"Mayor, please tell me."

"The imperial court has increased taxes this year."

"What? Increase taxes? Isn't this killing everyone?" An older man stood up with a look of anger on his face, "This year's floods have flooded the crops. Baogu, you can’t afford the tax, and if you want to increase the tax, it’s better to take everyone’s life away.”

"This is a notice issued by the imperial court. I am the mayor of the town. I can only follow suit. I called everyone here today to let everyone know. I hope that when I go to collect taxes in a few days, there will be no fights. " Xie Qi is also very embarrassed, but there is no way to do it, if the tax is not paid, his problem will be serious.

Today, calling them here is to say hello to them and make them a little bit prepared so that unnecessary things don't happen that day.

Zhang Tian frowned, feeling that the imperial court was really forcing people to death.

"Mayor, can't you tell the people above about this matter? Everyone really can't afford it this year, let alone a tax increase, even the original tax, everyone can't afford it." Another middle-aged man said .

Xie Qi sighed.

"I've said what I can say, but the people above have to ask for so much, and I can't help it."

"Why did the tax increase without a war?" the old man asked.

"Yes."

"Yes."

……

Xie Qi looked at them, getting louder and louder, and his head started to hurt.

"Quiet, quiet."

After two calls in a row, everyone ignored Xie Qi. Seeing them like this, Xie Qi got angry, raised his hand and slapped the table hard, and roared at the same time.

"Quiet."

Everyone was quiet this time. Looking at the angry Xie Qi, they returned to their seats and sat down.

Xie Qi took a deep breath, and then said with a calm face: "I know everyone is in a dilemma, but I am also in a dilemma. I am just like you, but so what, this tax must be paid."

"Anyway, this tax can't be paid, and if you want to collect it, you will take your life." The old man turned his head to the side after he finished speaking, not accepting Xie Qi's tricks, "I have never heard of tax increases after floods. Drive everyone to the road of death."

Xie Qi looked at the old man and frowned.

"This is the imperial court..."

"Don't talk about the court, I think you officials want to be greedy for money." The old man said what everyone wanted to say.

They knew it was true, but no one dared to say it.

After Xie Qi heard this, his face darkened, he scanned everyone, and then told them the truth.

"It seems that you all think so, so let me tell you the truth!"

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard the inside story.

"You don't have to pay this tax, but people have to pay it. The imperial court has already started to arrest young men. It hasn't come to us yet, but it will come soon."

"Arrest strong men? Why are you arresting strong men if you don't fight?" Everyone was puzzled.

"I don't know about this. In short, listening to the wind is to catch the young man." Xie Qi said.

It's boiling again here, what kind of young men are we going to catch if we don't fight?Could it be that there is going to be a war?But in recent years, Guotai Minan, how could there be a sudden war?
A series of questions are in everyone's mind.

Zhang Tian looked at Xie Qi, stepped forward and asked, "Is it true that you pay people without paying taxes?"

Xie Qi did not immediately answer Zhang Tian's question.

This is what the people above said, and he doesn't know exactly what it will be at that time, but based on his understanding of the court, it will definitely not be like this.

Taxes have to be paid, and people have to be arrested. That should be the case.
