Nongmen Hot Wife

Chapter 251

Seeing that Xie Qi didn't speak, everyone knew what was going on.

"Forget it, you can collect whatever you want. Anyway, everyone has no food this year, so if you want to arrest them, you will be arrested." The old man turned around, shook his sleeves and left.

Anyway, this matter is still the same result, there is nothing to say.

Seeing that the old man left, everyone bid farewell to Xie Qi one after another, and soon the people here disappeared.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Zhang Tian bowed his hand to Xie Qi, and then left here too.

……

When Zhang Tian came back, it happened to be noon, and Liu Yun was cooking in the house. Seeing him coming back, he asked a question.

"Didn't you say you won't be back at noon?"

"I'll be back when I finish talking." Zhang Tian still didn't know how to tell the villagers.

Seeing his frowning face, Liu Yun asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, is the meal ready?" Zhang Tian was unwilling to say.

"Not yet. If you don't come back, I won't make vegetables. When I come back, I will go to the vegetable field to get some vegetables and fry them."

"Forget it, just get some sauerkraut and eat whatever you want." Zhang Tian stopped and said.

Hearing what he said, Liu Yun thought he was starving, so he obeyed and went to the kitchen to grab sour cowpeas in a jar.

After cutting the sour cowpea into small pieces, I also grabbed some sour ginger, garlic and pepper, and then poured oil into a hot pan and stir-fried it.

The rice was left over from the morning, but there was only one bowl, and Liu Yun warmed up the rice after filling it up.

"You eat first, I'll make some gnocchi."

Zhang Tian nodded, and went out with the dishes and rice.

Zhang Tian sat in a daze in the main room, thinking about how to tell everyone about this matter.

Liu Yun came over after finishing the gnocchi, watched his bowl of rice not move, took a bowl of gnocchi, put it on the table and sat down.

"You have been absent-minded since you came back. Tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you think of a way."

Zhang Tian shook his head, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "It's nothing."

Liu Yun's face was serious: "We have been husband and wife for so many years, can I still not see whether you are okay or okay?"

Zhang Tian still smiled, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"Tell me, I'll listen." Liu Yun took a bowl of pimple soup.

"Today, the new town approached us and said that taxes will be raised this year."

"What? Tax increase?" Liu Yun exclaimed, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't the mayor know our situation? The flood has washed away our crops, and this year we even have to pay the original tax I'm sorry, but there is still a tax increase, isn't this killing everyone?"

"Don't get excited." Zhang Tian said.

"Can I not be excited? It's nothing. I think it's those officials who want to make money. These people are really black-hearted, and they are not afraid of being punished by heaven." Liu Yun said angrily.

"Don't say this in the future. If someone with a heart hears and sues you, it will be bad." Zhang Tian reminded.

"I know, I'm sure I won't talk nonsense, but this time it's really too much. It's fine not to reduce taxes, but to increase taxes." Liu Yun was really angry.

Zhang Tian sighed, and then continued to tell her.

"The mayor also said that the court wants to arrest strong men."

Liu Yun was stunned: "If you don't want to fight, what kind of young men are you going to arrest?"

"The mayor didn't say anything, but he said that he wanted to arrest people. Maybe officers and soldiers will come to our side to arrest people soon."

"The tax increase is arresting people. I really don't know what this is doing. Could it be that they still want to fight?" Liu Yun asked.

"I don't know."

"Then what should we do now? Then you won't be arrested too, right?" Liu Yun became worried.

"Historically, young men are arrested between the ages of 15 and 30. What I am worried about is the few people in our village. If they are taken away, what will happen to those women?"

"Yes, especially Li'er. She is still pregnant with Zhang Gazi's child who can't walk yet. If there is no man at home, how will they live?" Liu Yun also frowned.

The more Zhang Tian thought about it, the more he lost his appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"You eat it! I'll go find Daniel, he has a good brain, and see if he can do anything."

"What are you going to do now? If you have something to eat before going there, other people's house is eating at the moment, so it's not good for you to go." Liu Yun pulled him back.

Zhang Tian felt the same after hearing it. It was really not good to go to someone's house when it was time to eat, but he just didn't have an appetite.

Liu Yun saw it, and persuaded him: "I still have to eat this meal, no matter how much I worry about it. Only when I'm full can I have the energy to think about things."

Zhang Tian nodded. Although he came back and sat down to eat, the food was tasteless.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yun was also worried, and became anxious.

After dinner, Liu Yun went to wash the dishes, Zhang Tian sat at the door of the main room, couldn't sit still, got up and walked to Daniel's house.

When he came to Daniel's house, he saw that Daniel and his wife were still eating, so he stopped at the door and prepared to go back.

"Uncle." Zhang Daniu called him, and then came over, "What's the matter, Uncle?"

"I'll come back later, you guys eat first." He was afraid that if he said it himself, they wouldn't even be able to eat.

"It's okay, come in and talk." Zhang Daniu said.

Zhou Yiran picked up the rice in the bowl, and then went out to bring a chair for the village chief to sit on.

"Sit down." Daniel said to the village chief.

Seeing this, Zhang Tian nodded and sat down, and then said to Daniel sitting on the bench.

"Today I went to town."

"En." Daniel replied, seeing the village head like this, he knew there was something wrong, he was waiting for the village head to say.

"The mayor said that the tax will be raised this year, and the court will arrest young men."

Zhou Yiran, who was cleaning up the dishes, frowned when she heard this.

"It's all like this and the tax is raised. Are their hearts dark? What are they going to do with the young men? Are we going to fight?"

"I don't know about this. I haven't heard that there will be a war. Who knows what he wants to do." Zhang Tian said with a worried face, "I will come to collect taxes in two days. Now everyone has no food to pay at all. It can be offset with silver. It's just that I don't know the exact time for the arrest of strong men. Our village is suitable for your age. If you are taken away by then, there are probably only a few women left in this village. What do you think? ?”

After Zhang Daniu heard it, he probably knew what the village head meant, and wanted to ask himself if there was any way.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Village Chief, if the court wants to arrest someone, it will be impossible to hide."

"Yes, you can't hide. You can't live in hiding with your wife and children. Getting caught like that is the death penalty." Zhang Tian said.

"So serious?" Zhou Yiran felt that this place was different from the criminal law of the ancient world she knew.

In the past, she watched TV dramas, this kind of catches a heavy board, and then continued to serve as a soldier.

If caught here, he would be executed directly, which is too terrifying.

Zhang Tian glanced at Zhou Yiran, then nodded.

"Yes, it's that serious."

"Then we can only obey." Zhou Yiran thought of a solution after finishing speaking, she looked at the village chief, "Can we solve it with money?"

"1 taels per person." This was said by Daniel.

"Then let's go! Maybe if you make a general, I can still be the general's wife." Zhou Yiran said jokingly.

Now the family doesn't have a total of 1 taels of silver, even after selling her.

Zhang Daniu's face darkened, and he stared at her: "Don't worry that if something happens to me, I will never come back..."

"You are so capable, how can there be any accidents, Zhang Daniu, you have to believe in yourself, you can. But then again, can you really spend 1 taels of silver to change people?" She just wanted to confirm.

As long as it is confirmed to be true, she can borrow it shamelessly.

Isn't there still Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing can't do her... She can go to Chen's house to borrow it, at most take a risk.

"Yes." Zhang Tian said.

Zhang Daniu looked at Zhou Yiran and guessed what she wanted to do.

Hearing the words of the village chief, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to the kitchen.

……

Stormy town.

Zhou Qing suddenly received a letter from Xiangchu asking him to return to Beijing, and left before saying goodbye to Zhang Daniu and his wife.

At the same time, the Liao brothers also received the letter, and then they also evacuated here.

……

Zhou Yiran came out of the kitchen and walked towards Daniel without seeing the village head.

"Our family has several thousand taels of silver, and we are going to borrow some from Zhou Qing to redeem you."

Zhang Daniu's face darkened, he frowned and said, "It's as if I've betrayed myself."

"Anyway, it's almost the same. I don't want you to be taken away. I can't do without you." She hugged Daniel's arm and looked at him.

Zhang Daniu sighed and touched her head with his other hand.

"We'll have to wait and see. If other people in the village are taken away and I stay alone, it's definitely not good."

She knew that this was not good and would put Daniel in an awkward atmosphere, but what could be done, no matter whether it was a war or not, the court must do something to arrest people like this, and it would definitely be dangerous, so she couldn't let Daniel go.

Daniu looked at her frowning, smiled and said: "Aren't you going to be the general's wife? For your husband and for you."

She gave Da Niu a white look: "I was just joking, who cares about the general's wife, I just want you to be in front of me properly."

Zhang Daniu hugged her and patted her on the back.

Quanzi came over, just happened to see it, and immediately turned his head to the side, and then spoke.

"You two are too tired and crooked, just hug each other in broad daylight."

She quickly pushed Daniel away, blushed and ran into the house.Seeing her like this, Daniel smiled, then turned around and walked towards Quanzi.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you if you want to go to the mountains. My daughter-in-law is resting, and I want to take advantage of this time to go around the mountains." Quanzi promised Chen He not to go hunting in the mountains, but he still couldn't help it.

"Okay, then wait for me for a while and I'll get the bow and arrow."

"Okay, tell your daughter-in-law, and tell her not to tell my daughter-in-law." Quanzi grabbed Daniel and said.

Daniu nodded, and Quanzi let go.

After Daniel went in, Miaozi came behind him at some point.

Miaozi tugged at the hem of his father's clothes with his hands, and said in a low voice, "Father, you are disobedient again."

Quanzi was startled, turned to look at his daughter, rubbed her head, and said, "Father doesn't go deep, besides, your mother's body needs some good supplements."
