Chapter 169 Unrealistic
After Su Dai finished speaking, she left directly regardless of Mu San's reaction.

After the three of them left, Mu Ye's face turned cold, and he stared gloomily at the backs of the two and one, expressionless.

After standing there for a while, he stamped his foot and left.

After arriving at Patriarch Mu's house, Su Dai deliberately told the patriarch's wife about it, "Auntie, what's the situation with Mu San now?"

"He won't stay in the village for long," the patriarch's daughter-in-law sighed. "A few days ago, no one was willing to help build a house, so we just let it go. The big guys don't want to deal with him."

"why?"

Hearing this, the patriarch's wife looked at Liu Hui in embarrassment, not knowing whether she should answer or not.

"Auntie just said, don't worry about scaring her, Liu Hui's family has more troubles, so stay strong."

"That's all right," the patriarch's wife said the reason, "When the three-bedroom family was separated, someone listened to the corner and passed on Mu Ye's performance. Although the villagers didn't believe it all, they still murmured. Mu Ye was the only one left when he left, and he was only skeptical and confirmed, but he was afraid that he would suddenly stab a knife in the back, so he didn't dare to associate with him."

Admittedly, the whole old house doesn't have a good reputation.

However, even if Mu Hai has been in business for decades, even if he is a big disappointment, the villagers will not criticize him too much when they look at his age.

On the contrary, not only does Mu San not have an advantage in status, but his honest and honest image is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that people can't accept that he has hidden traitors in his heart.

Liu Hui is very sensitive in this regard, and can make up the general idea with just a few words, "People have one face in front of them, and another face behind them. No matter who finds out, they dare not deal with this kind of person. Who knows when Stabbed by him!"

"That's not true," the patriarch's wife echoed, "Country people behave vulgarly, and they will offend people at any time, so it's better not to associate with them."

Although she wasn't afraid of this nephew, she didn't want to make trouble for herself either.

Su Dai was thoughtful, "Parents and elder brothers abandoned him, and the villagers in Xixia rejected him, so why do you want to save his wife and children?"

"That's the way it is. It's a pity that the troubles became like that at the beginning. Even if he wanted to make up, no one would want to!"

When the three of them were eating watermelon and discussing Mu San, Mu Yao was sweating profusely in the field.

"Take a break first," Patriarch Mu stopped him from working, "have some tea before continuing."

"Row."

Mu Yao wiped his sweat with a towel, walked to the ground and sat under the shade of a tree, "This year's harvest is much better than last year's, so I finally don't have to worry about not getting enough taxes and rations."

"That has to be paid," Patriarch Mu said very painfully, "In the end, studying is the right way. If you take the exam for Juren, Jinshi, etc., the whole village will be named under your name, and the food saved every year can be filled up. granary."

After listening, Mu Yao smiled, "What do you mean, is scholar so unpopular?"

"That's not true," Patriarch Mu smacked his lips and explained, "One scholar is tax-free for 36 acres, which is not enough, and it takes a dozen or so, which is unrealistic."

In the entire Pingyang County, no village has ever heard of more than three scholars.

The possibility is too small, he'd better hope for something realistic.

Mu Yao: ...

It sounds okay at first glance, but it seems like this shouldn't be the case, right?

After thinking about it, he sincerely suggested, "Uncle, I don't think it's as difficult as I imagined to confess ten scholars. For some famous academies, the threshold has to be a child student. You have a little confidence in yourself, Lao Mu's family, and Xixia Village. "

"But let's put it down, there are not many seedlings with the surname Mu who are talented in reading. Even if there are, no one is willing to spend this money. Let's take the example of Mu Xing and Mu Zhizhi. Who would think so hard?"

"Uncle thinks so too?"

Mu Yao frowned.

Most of the negative people are scholars. This sentence makes sense to a certain extent.

With more knowledge and truth, some people urge themselves to become better, while some people will use these to satisfy their own selfish desires.

These two people may be an exception, but they cannot be the last batch.

Xixia Village is different from other places. Even if there is tax pressure, there is no need to worry about whether the last meal will not be finished. Instead of facing the unknown, more people just want to maintain the status quo.

However, the shade of the ancestors is limited, the population has doubled in 30 years, what will happen in another 30 years, I can hardly imagine.

"I don't want to, but people have to accept their fate." Patriarch Mu was already numb, "Your cousin and I have all been sent to the school, but you can also see that none of them are famous."

"There are many children of the right age in the long room, and they can continue to be trained."

"People are not at home, so you have to train a hammer. You haven't noticed yet? Boss and the others have hardened wings, and they don't want to nest in Xixia Village."

In the end, Patriarch Mu had mixed feelings.

Obviously hope that the child will get better and better, but after realizing that the bird has left the nest, it will still be entangled and reluctant.

When the two chatted, the resentful eyes of the doctors almost turned into substance.

"It's not that labor is glorious, why did the two of them fall?"

"I also want to take a break. I have been working honestly in the afternoon, and the meat I ate has long been consumed."

"I'm so tired, my hands hurt, my feet hurt, my waist hurts, my whole body hurts."

"How about we rest too?"

"Will the head of the Mu family agree?"

"It doesn't matter, the old man really can't do it, it's more tiring than being an apprentice back then."

"Kill the old man if you have the ability, I want to rest!"

As a result, the doctors went on strike in groups.

Patriarch Mu was very satisfied that the doctors were finally willing to work hard, but when he found them lazy, his face turned green, "What are you doing?"

"Rest with you!"

"The work you do is not heavy, just hold things and stuff them in."

"That's what you think. In fact, we old men are about to die of exhaustion."

"Impossible, I have a measure."

He has arranged jobs for decades and has never had a problem.

"I can't work anyway."

The doctors simply played tricks.

Seeing this, Mu Yao said in a deep voice, "If you want to rest, you can exchange it with money, not much, just ten taels."

"You want money again? Are you crazy about money?"

"Twelve taels at every turn, can't it be less?"

"One or two at most, or we'd rather work!"

"As you like," Mu Yao spread his hands, "We will never buy or sell by force."

Hearing this, someone plucked up the courage to retort, "If you are really as good as you say, you should let us go back to Fucheng!"

"Miss Liu is still here, do you want her to give you a ride?"

With just one sentence, everyone dared not speak again.

Compared to doing some work, they were more afraid of the torture methods of the Liu family. Even if they could breathe, they would still be half dead.

That's why he kept yelling and running away but didn't take action.

After a long time, someone gritted their teeth and complained:
"It's just ten taels of silver!"

"It's not 100 taels, 1000 taels!!"

"The old man doesn't take out!!!"

After speaking, as if afraid of regretting himself, he hurried to the threshing machine and started to work.

"No," Patriarch Mu was speechless, "They speak harshly, just to confess faster?"

 In Kawen, I try to update it stably, woo woo woo~
