Chapter 59
Seeing the seriousness on Lu Shi's face, she also thought that as their mother, she always valued their daughters more than their lives, and would never harm them.

Jiang Yao stopped asking, and nodded obediently, "Then I will listen to my mother and not rent that shop. When I have time, I will go and look at other places."

"Okay, thank you Yaoer." Lu Shi rubbed Jiang Yao's head, but her expression hadn't returned to normal.

I was very curious, but I decided to see if Mrs. Lu had nothing to say, so I put this matter aside for now.

She believed that when the time came, she would always know.

But there is another thing that cannot be delayed, she held Lu Shi's hand and said earnestly.

"Mother, the business of the shop can be slowed down temporarily, but we must establish a female household as soon as possible. Without a female household, it is always inconvenient for us to do things."

"Okay, you wait, mother will bring you the things." After speaking, Mrs. Lu began to search in the room for the certificates needed by the female household.

These were prepared long before they had the idea of ​​establishing a female household, and now they can just use them directly.

Jiang Yao carefully put away all the paperwork, and early the next morning, after delivering the restaurant's order, she took her second younger sister Jiang Yu to the yamen to handle female household registration.

The yamen servant at the gate heard that they were here to set up a female household, and looked at them with complicated expressions, but didn't say much, and led them directly to the county master.

The county lord learned about their intentions from the yamen servants, seeing that the fabrics they were wearing were very new, he immediately showed a kind smile on his face, and his tone was very approachable.

"Looking at you two little girls is a good thing, your father is really unlucky!"

Suddenly being praised by the county master, Jiang Yao only felt goosebumps all over her body, and a bad intuition rose in her heart.

But she couldn't show it on the surface, she had to respond modestly and generously, and then brought the topic back.

"The county lord has praised you. Here are all the materials for our female household. Please see the lord for a look."

"Put these things aside for now, do you know the other conditions for setting up a female household?" The county lord didn't even look at the materials, so he had the materials pushed back.

"I know, I need to pay 30 taels of silver." Jiang Yao still replied politely, but was very vigilantly watching the change of expression on the county magistrate's face.

Sure enough, when Jiang Yao said 30 taels of silver, the county magistrate's eyes twitched, quite dissatisfied.

"30 taels of silver? It seems that you two little girls still don't know how troublesome it is to set up a female household. 30 taels of silver is not enough, it must be 100 taels!"

"What? 100 taels!" Jiang Yu's pupils shrank in shock, and she subconsciously grasped the elder sister's hand.

Since she was born, she has never seen what 100 taels of silver looks like, and she has never had so much silver in her family.

Sensing the nervousness of her younger sister beside her, Jiang Yao squeezed her hand, and glared at the magistrate in righteous indignation.

"My lord, according to the laws of this dynasty, to establish a female household, you only need to prepare all the documents and pay 30 taels of silver. There is no need for as much as 100 taels."

"Nonsense! I don't know where you listened to the nonsense, you little girl, but you actually brought it up in front of my master!"

"Listen to me, I'm the biggest in the entire county government, and the rules are all set by me! If I say 100 taels, then I must get 100 taels, otherwise I won't talk about it!"

"You're ignoring the law!" Jiang Yao angrily reprimanded, while quietly protecting her second sister behind her back.

"Yo, those who open their mouths and keep their mouths shut about the law, don't they have nothing to do with me?"

The magistrate stood up with a contemptuous smile, his expression full of arrogance, "Listen to this official, if you don't have 100 taels of silver, you will never even think about setting up a female household in this official's hands in this life! Go back and be your poor Ghost!"

Hearing the other party's taunts like this, Jiang Yu became very angry, and it was the first time that he was bold enough to be aggressive.

"You're so blatantly tampering with the law and stealing people's fat and anointing, aren't you afraid that we will sue you?"

"Hey, what did this little slut say?" The magistrate leisurely picked out his ears, and then blew earwax towards the two sisters.

Jiang Yao hurriedly pulled her younger sister away, her eyes were full of disgust and hatred.

"Forget it, since you have no money, I don't bother to tell you more. It's a waste of my energy!"

Hearing this, a yamen servant immediately understood the meaning of Grandpa Xian's words, picked up water and fire sticks, and drove the Jiang Yao sisters out, mocking them as they drove.

"Two dead girls, hurry up! Don't make our yamen look so poor! Let me tell you, if the magistrate is not in a good mood today, you will be thrown out of the county yamen sideways!"

Even a yamen servant dared to intimidate the people so blatantly, Jiang Yao was really furious to the extreme.

She gritted her teeth and stared at the gate of the county government office, secretly swearing in her heart.

One day, she must get rid of these moths!Make them regret what they have done!
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao got up from the ground and helped her younger sister up as well. The two sisters patted each other's ashes.

Jiang Yao obviously felt that her younger sister was unable to exert herself due to fear, so she quickly smiled and took her sister's hand, squatting down and comforting her softly.

"Don't be afraid, with the eldest sister here, even if they really make a move, the eldest sister will not let you have trouble."

"I, I know." Jiang Yu lowered his head in fear, his voice was as low as a mosquito.

"I'm just afraid that if they put us in prison, my mother, grandma, and younger sisters will definitely be worried."

"Silly girl, because we are a family, we must worry about and care about each other."

Seeing that the little girl's complexion is really not very good, Jiang Yao changed the subject, "We won't be able to establish a female household anyway, are you hungry? Big sister will take you to eat something good."

"No need, big sister, I'm not hungry." Jiang Yu quickly waved his hand, and tugged at Jiang Yao again, always timidly.

"Eldest sister, let's go back quickly, mother must be waiting anxiously at home."

"Okay, let's go back then."

Back home, Jiang Yao hinted that Jiang Yue would stay with Jiang Yu, and she went to the house to explain the situation truthfully to Lu Shi.

Hearing what Jiang Yao said, Lu's mind suddenly recalled what he had heard in his previous life, and heaved a heavy sigh, feeling very helpless.

"Well, I guess we will have to wait a long, long time for us to establish a female household."

"It's okay, mother, there are always more ways than difficulties. We can always successfully establish a female household." Jiang Yao comforted with a smile, as if she was not the only one who was bullied in the yamen.

Infected by her daughter's positive attitude, Lu also showed a smile, "You are right, mother will cheer with you."

After unlocking Lu Shi, Jiang Yao walked out of the yard, and saw that a small piece of vegetable that was sowed alone had sprouted.

The tender greenery put her in a good mood. Jiang Yu also observed for a while, and the two sisters planned to go to the vegetable field next door to check the situation.

As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they saw an old woman standing at the door of Wei Chengye's house.
