Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 34 The General Ledger
hum-

As soon as the words fell, everyone's ears were buzzing.

Xia Xiaoqiao's words are pearls, pointing directly at people's hearts.

The eyes of the villagers were instantly moistened, and they looked at Mrs. Lu with knives in their eyes.

"God damn Mrs. Lu, Qilang is such a good child, why is she so cruel?"

"Oh, I saw it when Shichiro got out of the car, the clothes were all stained with blood!"

"Yeah, what a good boy, I still remember that last winter was very cold, and it was nine cold days. I just saw the little boy Qilang when he came home with firewood and heavy snow, what a crime!!!"

While wiping their tears, the villagers talked about Mrs. Lu's viciousness, and after a while, they made up the whole story, and then they scolded people again.

Her three daughters-in-law were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Because they know that this is the truth, a child without a mother is like a grass, and it is a blessing that a child with no one to protect will not starve to death.

But so what if there is a mother to protect her?
When Hao Shi, the third resident of the Lu family, thought of his daughter who was about the same age as Qilang and died young, he collapsed instantly and wept uncontrollably.

And Mrs. Lu's eyes widened in horror.

"You, you nonsense—"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked at her coldly, "I'm not talking nonsense, you know it in your heart, if you want people to know, you have to do nothing."

"you--"

Mrs. Lu didn't know whether she was angry or frightened, her face turned pale, and the fingers that pointed at her were trembling.

But at this moment, there was a scolding sound suddenly.

"Shut up for me."

As soon as these words were said, two people stood at the gate of the courtyard. The leader was an old man with a stern face, followed by a middle-aged man in a long gown and a beard.

Seeing this, everyone immediately gave way. The old man was none other than Lu Jingyuan's grandfather. He looked quite energetic, but unfortunately his words were fatal.

"Master Xia, is this how your Xia family teaches their daughters to talk to their elders? Hmph, our Lu family can't afford to be so unreasonable and unfilial."

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Zheng: "Brother Third, I think it's better to send her back to Xia's family, as well as the two evils she gave birth to."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem——"

Suddenly there was a heart-piercing cough, which instantly interrupted Old Man Lu's words.

Everyone looked around after hearing the reputation, and saw Lu Jingyuan wearing a moon-white gown, leaning against the door frame to breathe hard at this moment, with his palms covering his chest, black hair scattered randomly on his shoulders, his pale face was bloodless, his eyes were scarlet, and his eyes were like knives , the cinnabar mole at the end of the eye is even more coquettish and cruel.

"Grandfather, I'm not dead yet, cough cough cough cough cough—"

Seeing this, Xia Xiaoqiao hurried over to support him, and said with concern and anxiety in her eyes, "Why did you come out? Didn't you say that?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"what?"

Xia Xiaoqiao was stunned by the nonsensical words, but she soon understood.

Lu Jingyuan suddenly took a big step forward, put his hands on his chest, bowed down with red eyes.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I would like to donate the tax quota of the 25 mu of land left under my name to the clan for free to help the children of the clan to study. When I am in better health, I can run a private school, and the children can go to the temple during the temple. Come study."

"A gentleman of Tian Xingjian strives for self-improvement. Although I am physically disabled, I am willing to do my best for Luxi Village, which gave birth to me and raised me."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked, and some were ecstatic and moved.

Taxes are nothing more than more wolves and less meat, but reading is different. Everything is inferior but reading is high. They know that their family can't afford a scholar, but knowing two more words is better than being illiterate!
What if if it is a study material, and a scholar comes back from the test?

Isn't that a good thing for Guangzong Yaozu?
Everyone was overwhelmed with excitement, and Li Zheng said hello again and again, holding Lu Jingyuan's hand tightly and choked up:
"Good boy, you are a good man who strives for self-improvement. He is indeed a young man who has studied and passed the exam. He is different from others. Don't worry, you can recuperate in peace. If someone dares to touch your family, let alone the old man!" If the first one disagrees, all the villagers in Luxi Village will disagree."

Sure enough, the older you get, the better you become. Wen Xian knows the meaning of elegance, Lu Jingyuan dropped the words, and he immediately made a promise. You must know that he is not only the Lizheng of the village, but also the patriarch of the clan. His words carry great weight .

As soon as he said this, other villagers immediately shouted: "I don't agree, I don't agree——"

"Whoever dares to bully the kid from the Lu family, I will be the first to spare him."

"Yes, when I catch someone bullying Shichiro, I will definitely break his dog's legs—"

The villagers shouted and looked at the Lu family with unkind eyes.

Lu Jingming hugged his head again in fright, and the others also wanted to turn themselves into invisible people.

Seeing this, the old man Lu's face was unusually ugly. He never expected that Lu Jingyuan not only refused to obey, but also came to the bottom of the pot. The little one went to win Lizheng and the villagers with courtesy and affection. Do you want to confront him even if you lose your face?

But Mrs. Lu was more straightforward, and rushed over regardless.

"You son of a bitch, are you crazy? Do you know the annual tax on 25 acres of land? You just donate it, are you stupid?"

This made Mrs. Lu so angry that she reached out to hit her, but how could Xia Xiaoqiao at the side let her succeed?
Without further ado, he stood in front of Lu Jingyuan, grabbed his wrist and said coldly, "Speaking of money, I just want to settle the score with you."

"Didn't you say that our second wife eats yours and wears yours, and my husband spends your money on studying? Then let's do the math today, not to mention how much money my father-in-law took from the family when he was alive. It is obvious to all that the big house you live in has not collapsed yet!"

"Let's say that since my father-in-law passed away and my husband was a scholar, the imperial court has reduced the tax on [-] acres of land every year in order to encourage him to study and improve himself so as to contribute to the country. Let's say that an acre of land is normally worth a stone and a half Is the harvest done? Ten taxes are one, how can there be a penny per mu of land, ten mu of land is consistent, and fifty mu of land is worth five pennies a year. My husband has been a scholar for three years. Counting down to fifteen hits."

"And every month, the imperial court will distribute one taels of silver for living expenses and rice noodles. This is 12 taels in the first year, and 36 taels of silver in three years, plus the previous fifteen taels. After these three years, There are more than fifty taels of silver alone, and this is not counting the extra money that my husband gives to the family every month for his hard copying of books."

"With so much money, how many children are there for a woman in our second room? How many second rooms can we support? Where do you have the face to say that we cut down on food and clothing to provide for us?"
