Rebirth of the pastoral hot wife

Chapter 117 124: Something happened to the patriarch's house again ([-])

On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, and Jiangjia Village was peaceful.

Now everyone's autumn harvest work is over. Today, the town sent people to start collecting public grain, which means that the people who cultivate the land have come to the tax season of the year.

The tax collectors came with ten officers and soldiers arranged by Zhencheng Hu Sanmao.This first stop was Jiangjia Village, which showed the weight of Jiangjia Village in his heart.

After these people came, they would not collect them directly, but went to the village chief first. After the village chief arranged for them to live, they began to collect grain in the courtyard of Jiang's ancestral hall.

The village chief notified everyone in the village, and then he would help the town officials to do this job, the same every year.

The land in Beiyou country is distributed to people with peasant household registration on the basis of one mu per person. They have land at birth and get it back at death.

In the entire Beiyou country, there are more wasteland and mountainous land, but there is not much land that can be cultivated.Therefore, Beiyou's land property tax is relatively heavy.

For each household with three or fewer people, the public grain tax is paid as one rice;

Once the food is eaten, it is equivalent to one hundred catties.

The government received only two staple foods, rice and corn.Generally, everyone pays half of the corn and half of the rice.

There are also people with a lot of elderly and children, and the only laborers that can work in the family are the husband and wife. After the two-day payment, the remaining family may sometimes not be enough for the family's rations for the next year.

The government has another way, that is, if there is no food, they can pay the tax and food with silver.

Once the grain, one tael of silver.

And most of the people are not willing to take money to pay for it.One tael of silver, it is possible to save it for a year or half a year.

After breakfast, Jiang Luo was about to take Cheng'er and A Shishi to go out when the village chief came.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Jiang Luo knew that there must be something wrong with Jiang Zhenhong coming so early.

"The government in the town started to collect public grain today. Your family has not been allocated land. Uncle is here to tell you about your family." The matter of Jiang Luo's family is special. Those people have mentioned this matter when they came, so Jiang Zhenhong thought it was better to come by himself.

"Okay, uncle went into the room and said."

Jiang Zhenhong and Jiang Luo entered the house, and Jiang Lin also followed.

"Girl Luo, it's like this. The annual tax is divided into two types. Those who have land pay the land and property tax. The three people pay the one-time grain. Those who don't want to pay the grain can pay one tael of silver."

"The other type is people who don't have land. They may have urban household registration and come to the village, or they may be new households. Taxes are collected on a per capita basis. This is the case for your family."

"Okay, uncle, we can follow the rules of the town government. At present, our household registration has 33 people, right? How do you pay for this?" Jiang Luo smiled.

"One person is three hundred Wen. Your family is 33, ten taels. Girl Luo, will it be too much?" Jiang Zhenhong thought of this early in the morning, and the taxes of Jiang Luo's family are too heavy, so he decided Or come and talk to her about it in person.

Jiang Luo and Jiang Lin looked at each other, it was indeed enough.

"Uncle Hong, so the people in those towns pay taxes like this every year?" Jiang Luo didn't know that this is how taxes are calculated before.

Jiang Zhenhong shook his head, "There are none who live in the town."

"Originally, Uncle planned to give you land in the new year, but there is not so much open land yet. You have a lot of family members, so I can only give you a part first. After you have land, there will not be so much next year." Jiang Zhen Macro added.

"Okay, let's go for ten taels. I'll let Brother Jiang Lin go there later. I'm just going to the town. Uncle Hong, please come here for a special trip." Jiang Luo knew Jiang Zhenhong's embarrassment and smiled. said with a smile.

"Oh, don't bother. You are a kind-hearted girl. Uncle is careless about this matter. He should have given you some land earlier." Jiang Zhenhong sighed.

"It's okay, uncle, ten taels is affordable for me. You don't have to worry about the land. There is no 33 mu, but ten or twenty mu will do. Besides, the land in my village will be fine next year." Use it." Jiang Luo smiled.

"Well, that's it. You are busy, uncle has to go over there to take care of it." Jiang Zhenhong felt relieved when he saw that Jiang Luo was in a good mood.After all, Jiang Luo has become the largest household in Jiangjia Village, and it would be bad if there was trouble on her side.But now, she took the lead in paying the tax of ten taels, and those people behind her would have nothing to say and would behave a lot.

People in the village generally have very few families of three people, and there are more than four people in any family including the elderly and children.

Therefore, every family drove an ox cart to the courtyard of the ancestral hall to deliver food.

In the patriarch's family, Song Lian has aged a lot since the patriarch passed away.I was in a bad mood and lack of energy all day long, just sat quietly under the tree in the yard, staring at a certain place in a daze.

Jiang Yuelan was still insane, she was completely taken aback by Jiang Hu.

Song Lian didn't care about her either.

This family is now only supported by Jiang Yuehong.

She locked up Jiang Yuelan, fearing that she would do something bad if she ran out.

Several of the family's servants have left, and now there are only one cook, Mrs. Wang, and one woman, Mrs. Liu, who washes.The two of them continued to stay at the patriarch's house because they were old and had no place to live.

Seeing that the patriarch's family had completely collapsed, those housekeepers and guards begged Jiang Yuehong for freedom, and left with their own contracts.

Jiang Yuehong didn't force her to stay either, and she paid a monthly salary to those who were willing to leave and returned their freedom.

There are now five people in the family.

In the morning, someone came to inform her that the public rations had been paid today.

Where did her family get the public grain payment, so she had to pay with silver.

Looking at the bank deposits at home, there are only three taels left in total.If the public grain is paid today, what will happen to the future life?
She walked up to Song Lian, knelt down, and said softly, "Mother, I'm going to pay the public rations. You have to watch out for the second sister and don't let her run out, okay?"

Song Lian nodded.

Watching Jiang Yuehong's tired figure leave, Song Lian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

All the misfortunes in the family were caused by Jiang Yuelan.If she wasn't so capricious, and wasn't so easily deceived by men, how could Jiang Qingru be so mad?So how could my favorite Yuehong be so tired?
"Jiang Yuelan, you shouldn't be living in this world anymore." Song Lian lowered her head with hatred in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Song Lian supported the tree and stood up, staggering towards Jiang Yuelan's room.

Jiang Yuehong went to the courtyard of the ancestral hall and met Jiang Zhenhong.

"Yuehong, how many people are there in your family?" Jiang Zhenhong asked with a sigh.

"Five." Jiang Yuelan said in a low voice.

Jiang Zhenhong turned his head and said a few words to the officers and soldiers, who nodded and looked at Jiang Yuehong.

"Yuehong, your family's situation is special, so you can just pay one or two taels of silver, and the other two servants don't count for now." Jiang Zhenhong sighed again.

"Yes, thank you brother!" Jiang Yuehong handed over a tael of silver.The people from the government over there recorded it and asked her to press her fingerprints.

Turning around, she saw Jiang Lin coming to pay the tax.

Out of curiosity, she didn't leave, but stood aside to see how much Jiang Lin would pay.

In the end, she saw that Jiang Luo handed over twelve taels.The few people in the government were also very polite and pleasant to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin was about to leave after handing over, Jiang Yuehong quietly followed behind him.

After leaving the gate of the ancestral hall, Jiang Lin stopped and looked back at her, "Go back and take good care of your mother and your second sister. They are your closest relatives now." I have always admired this His little girl, Jiang Lin also didn't know how to face her and get along with her.

Jiang Yuehong stared at Jiang Lin in a daze, her eyes gradually turning red.

It has been more than a month since the accident at home, and her mother sat in the yard every day and did not talk to her.Not to mention the second sister, she has been crazy.

Jiang Yuehong's daily routine was to call her mother back to the house for dinner and sleep.Serve the second sister to wash and feed the second sister.

Jiang Yuehong had secretly cried several times, why did this happen?They did something wrong, why is it themselves who suffer?Dad did something wrong, paid the price with his life, and followed.

The second sister did something wrong, she lost her child, and she is also stupid, but why, she will be the one who suffers.

No one in the family knew what her father had done, only she knew.So all along, she couldn't get close to her father, but kissed her own mother more.

She felt that she had a lot of grievances and wanted to tell others, but unfortunately, since the accident in her family, the little girls who were close to her in the village never came to play with her again.

It has been more than a month, no one can tell her sadness, her sadness, no one is willing to help her, and no one asks if she is tired?Can it be bitter?
Seeing Jiang Lin now, she really wanted to tell him the sadness in her heart, but she knew that he would not listen, because he had already broken his heart to her family.

Looking at the back of Jiang Lin's departure, Jiang Yuehong finally collapsed. She covered her mouth with her hands and squatted on the ground crying in grief. Why did she become like this?Why?
People who came to the ancestral hall to pay the public food on the road looked at the little girl squatting on the ground so miserable and shook their heads helplessly.

This girl is really a hard-working girl, and she has been implicated by her second sister all her life.How can Jiang Yuehong find a good partner now?

Alas, those who see it can only lament along with it!
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang, who was cooking at Jiang Yuehong's family, ran over quickly, "Third Miss, it's not good. Second Miss ran away. We can't stop her. Mrs. Liu has already gone after her. Third Miss, hurry up and chase after her!" , Second Miss ran towards the entrance of the village."

Jiang Yuehong stood up in shock, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and hurriedly asked loudly with red eyes: "Why did the second sister run out, where is my mother?"

"I don't know, Madam is still sitting in the yard!" Mrs. Wang shook her head helplessly.

"Woooo, what is my mother going to do, woooo!" Jiang Yuehong cried and ran to the entrance of the village.

At this time, Jiang Zhenhong had already heard the noise coming out, he thought Jiang Yuehong was pestering Jiang Lin, but saw Jiang Yuehong running away quickly.

"Village chief, the second lady ran to the entrance of the village, and the third lady chased after her." Mrs. Wang said quickly when she saw the village chief.

"What? Alright, go back and take care of your wife. I'll take someone to chase after him." Jiang Zhenhong finished speaking in a hurry, then turned around and said to the few people who had just paid the public rations: "Follow me to the entrance of the village to save people."

"Yes, the village chief!" Five or six men followed the village chief and hurried to the entrance of the village, among them was Jiang Wuhu.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Jiang Yuehong was about to jump into the pond next to Wutong beach.

Jiang Wuhu was fast, and rushed over to grab Jiang Yuehong, "What are you doing?"

"Five Tigers, save my second sister, my second sister has jumped in, woo, my second sister has jumped in." After being pulled back by Wu Hu, Jiang Yuehong cried anxiously while shaking Wu Hu's hand with.

At this time, Jiang Zhenhong and the others also ran over, "Don't worry, who knows how to swim, go down and save people."

"I will, I'll go!" After Jiang Wuhu finished speaking, he let go of Jiang Yuehong's hand, took off his robe, walked to the edge of the pond, and got into the water.

The water in this pond is connected to the creek outside the door, so the pond is very large and the water is very deep.

After Jiang Wuhu entered the water, they all fell into the water soon, and went deep to find someone.

By the pond outside, several people waited anxiously.Some surrounding villagers ran over after knowing that someone had jumped into the pond.

Just after Jiang Wuhu came out of the water to breathe for the fifth time, the next time, he went down for a long time and didn't come up.

The people waiting around are even more anxious!
