After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 38
The rain was affectionate and seemingly ruthless. It drenched the two people who were supporting each other into drowned chickens, but it also washed away Zhao Tieshu's wounds, saving a lot of trouble.

After a simple cleaning, Zhao Tieshu's wound was disinfected with medicinal wine, and then wrapped up with cloth strips, and Shen Xian tied a bow tie childishly.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Zhao Tieshu shook his head with a light smile, his expression was not a trace of pain, and he looked at Shen Xian with sincere and loving eyes.

However, in fact, his wound was 'moisturized' by the medicinal wine, and the pain was as painful as cooking oil with a raging fire.

But a man can bear it if he can, how can he show timidity in front of his daughter-in-law!
"That's good."

Hearing his answer, Shen Xian patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief, Zhao Tieshu's injury was caused by her, he didn't hurt so much, Shen Xian felt much better.

The wind and rain outside made the door creak, and the candles in the room flickered, but it looked a little warm.

The orange candlelight smudged Shen Xian's delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the light in his eyes flickered, adding a bit of tenderness to his eccentric face.

Zhao Tieshu stretched out his good hand, and grabbed Shen Xian's Rou Yi, kneading and pinching in his hand, liking him tightly.

A light red color climbed onto Shen Xian's cheeks, her beautiful eyes were shy, but because of Zhao Tieshu's injury, she could only let him go.

There is a little ambiguity in the warm atmosphere, two hot hearts, two pairs of fiery eyes.

After a long time, Zhao Tieshu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Xian solemnly.

"Daughter-in-law, I will protect you, love you, love you..."

Hearing the nasty love words, Shen Xian was heartbroken, and quickly reached out to cover Zhao Tieshu's mouth, wishing to put his head into his chest.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, don't talk about it, are you ashamed..."

Somewhere in the room there was a wind leak, the candle flickered a few times and was submerged in darkness.

Shen Xian's hands tightly clutched her long skirt, the sudden courage in the darkness made her stand up, and put a shy kiss on Zhao Tieshu's lips.

night, so long.

……

early morning.

The panic and tenderness fade away, and a new day begins.

Zhao Tieshu got up early, and because of his injury, he didn't go hunting in the mountains. If the wound burst open, the little daughter-in-law would be sad again.

With nothing to do, he went to buy hot Hu spicy soup and came back.

Shen Xian is like a greedy cat, only getting up after smelling the fragrance.

Seeing Zhao Tieshu pouring water from the bowl, Shen Xian felt a little distressed, pulled Zhao Tieshu to his side and told him: "You should not do these things until the injury is healed."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Looking at the distressed expression of the little daughter-in-law, Zhao Tieshu felt beautiful in his heart.

When the two of you were talking about each other, the door of the yard slammed 'bang bang bang'. Judging from the force of the knock on the door, it seemed that the visitor was not kind.

Zhao Tieshu frowned, exchanged a glance with Shen Xian, then got up to open the door.

And Shen Xian hid behind Zhao Tieshu, worried that it was the uncle's family who came to make trouble again.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Yulian and four strong men stood in front of the door proudly.

"What are you here for?"

Zhao Tieshu's body tensed up, and he looked at the visitor without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Shen Xian frowned, just met Lin Yulian yesterday, and came to her door today, it was indeed as Xu Wanqing said, this coquettish fox is indeed narrow-minded.

"What? Huh."

Lin Yulian folded her hands pretentiously, rolled her eyes upwards, and her eyes were higher than the top.

"I'm Li Zheng's wife, so naturally I'm here to collect taxes."

"Taxation?"

Shen Xian was puzzled, at this time it was just spring, and there was no farmer's harvest, so the tax should be collected in autumn.

Xu Shi saw the doubt in Shen Xian's eyes, and Li Yulian said with a sneer: "Your Shen family has not paid taxes for two years, and I see that the marriage contract between the two families has been suppressed, but now that you are married, The taxes for the past two years should be paid up.”

Shen Xian didn't get angry when he heard the words, this uncle's family is too thug, they took father's military salary, but they didn't even pay her the tax, most likely they had already made up their mind to pay it by themselves when she got married Tax.

Lin Yulian came here with reason and evidence, and Shen Xian was not easy to rely on, but felt a little depressed and flustered.

"How much do you have to pay?"

Lin Yulian flipped through the account book and said, "You can rent two stones, two zhangs of silk, and three taels of cotton, and the money will be three hundred cash, which is twice as much in two years."

Shen Xian thought about it in his heart, and when converted into silver, it would be around one tael, but fortunately, he still had more than two taels at home.

Lin Yulian was quite surprised to see Shen Xian's expression as usual, she didn't expect that the two of them still had money in their family, it seems that they are living a good life.

With a sneer, Lin Yulian continued to add: "This is only a part. This year's border war, the imperial court has increased the military service tax. The total is two taels, and the total is three and a half."

Shen Xian's heart sank, and he fixed his eyes on Lin Yulian, feeling that she was targeting him.

"What do you look at me like that? This is the imperial court's request. If you don't believe me, go to the county seat to read the imperial list."

Lin Yulian twisted two steps on the spot as she spoke, and said with a sneer: "Could it be that you two poor people don't have so much money?"

Zhao Tieshu snorted coldly and pressed forward, saying that he could do it, but that the young daughter-in-law couldn't.

Lin Yulian was startled by him, and took a few steps back. Four strong men rushed forward and blocked Zhao Tieshu.

"Shen Xian, you still don't care about the men in your family, beating the family members of officials is a felony!" Lin Yulian threatened confidently.

"Brother Zhao, don't pay any attention to her. Let's pay the tax that we should pay to her."

Shen Xian took out two taels of silver from her bosom as she spoke, and said in a cold voice: "You take these two taels first, and I will find a way to make up for the rest."

"Oh, think of a way? I have to pay all the taxes today!"

Lin Yulian came here today to find trouble and embarrass Shen Xian, so how could she kindly give her time to raise money.

"If you can't pay the tax today, you two just refuse to pay the tax. You can't escape with [-] bills each, but my wife is kind. As long as you are willing to kneel at the door of Lin's house and beg for mercy, I can give you a few days .”

Lin Yulian calculated that Shen Xian had no money, and her attitude became more and more arrogant.

Zhao Tieshu's pair of iron fists rattled, if Shen Xian hadn't been pulling his clothes corner all the time, he would have trampled down this annoying fly long ago.

"Lin Yulian, you are too self-righteous, right? The imperial court has a rule that from the date of tax collection, the tax can be collected within three days. Do you want to avenge yourself?"

Shen Xian was not in a panic at all at the moment, thanks to the original body who had read the tax regulations on the imperial list before, otherwise she would have been fooled.

Lin Yulian showed dissatisfaction, she didn't expect Shen Xian to know quite a lot.

"You're so ridiculous. Is it possible that you can raise a tael of silver in three days? You've lost your mind."

"Whether you can or not, you will know in three days."

Touching the medicinal material distribution map in his bosom, Shen Xian was not worried at all, do you know what cheating is?
