At the beginning, the abandoned wife brought two children, and became the richest man by farming and

"This... the money she earns is indeed not enough to pay the tax..." The man didn't know what happened to the housekeeper Rui and the shabby little sister-in-law inside, so he could only pick the right words and said truthfully.

"Then what are you going to do with her? She's a pregnant woman with such a big belly. If something happens to her, her family will lift her up and throw her at the gate of the county. Our master won't be promoted!" Housekeeper Rui This is blunt, but it is also the truth, and it is not that I have not encountered the unruly, barefooted and unafraid of wearing shoes.

The people in Shiyi Division were only depressed for a moment, since this woman really didn't have the problem of hiding taxes, and she could sell the butler Rui's face, why not do it?

Just like that, Yi Ren came out in a daze after being brought into the Shi Yi Division for an hour.

Yi Ren wanted to find out why he was suddenly let go from Shi Yisi's population, and Zhang Qian's news, but it was useless, so he had to go to Hongwu Street to try his luck, hoping that Uncle Qing hadn't returned home today.

The old noodle seller at the wharf actually came to Hongwu Street and asked Uncle Qing to pass on a message, but Uncle Qing wanted to wait to see if there was any news about Yiren, so he waited for her.Uncle Qing jumped into the ox cart, took Yi Ren to the rice noodle shop, ordered the ingredients for the Ai Tuan for the Gu family's birthday, and the two of them went to Songjiazhuang together.

Today, I came back a little late because of the delay in Shiyi Division.

When she came back, Aunt Li was guarding in front of Yiren's door, looking forward to it.

"Yi Ren, are you okay today?" Seeing Yi Ren coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, beckoning Sanmao Simao to carry the rice noodles on the ox cart.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that Shi Yisi called me over..." Yi Ren told Aunt Li what happened to Shi Yisi.

After hearing that nothing had happened, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yiren, the demand for mountain goods at Desheng Restaurant increased the day before yesterday, but it hasn't rained here for some days, so we have to go deeper into the forest. This will take a lot of time, I thought about the other half-grown boys in the village, who are also idle a lot, so I asked them to help today, and you can see if it works later?"

"It's okay, but first, their parents have to come and tell me, and second, children who are too young can't have it. If you don't worry about everything, you should be afraid of ten thousand!" Yi Ren nodded.

"Hey! That's for sure." Aunt Li said, and walked out of the courtyard. "I have to go to the woods to see these bastards. I said today to help, don't fool me!"

"Auntie, let me go with you!" Yi Ren stood up and said, holding Aunt Li's arm.

Yi Ren and Aunt Li went straight to the woods next to the village, and when they got closer, they found that there were already more than a dozen rattan baskets placed under the shade of the trees beside the woods, and a few children who looked younger were sitting on them. The small ditch picks and cleans mountain goods.

Seeing Yi Ren approaching, the children gathered around.

Yi Ren took a quick look and felt that there seemed to be more children picking mountain goods these days, but now that he came around, he felt how much "more" there was.

There were many children standing around her, and the one in front was Er Niu from Aunt Li's family. Grandma had told him not to let others touch Aunt Yiren.So he stood in front of Yi Ren at the moment, separated by half a meter, no matter how crowded the children behind him were, he refused to take a step forward, and pretended to be an adult from time to time, turning around and yelling at them.

These children were next to each other, forming three or four circles in front of her.

"Sanmao, what's going on with these little ones?" Yi Ren asked, pointing to the children who seemed to be about the same age as Erniu.

Sanmao scratched her head and said helplessly, "Sister Yiren, everyone in the village knows that we can earn money by picking mountain products with you. The families of these children say they want to be with you, even with less money!"

Yi Ren frowned and wanted to refuse: "These little ones are too small, and they don't look as big as Er Niu. Er Niu followed because of Aunt Li, and I didn't give him the money."

Yi Ren really didn't want to use such a young child.She has a soul from modern times. A child as old as Sanmao must be considered a child laborer. For Erniu who is four or five years old, she can't get past her own level.In addition, safety issues are also considered. What should such a young child do if something happens in the mountains? In addition, the child is too young to distinguish the appearance of the mountain products. Once the poisonous mountain products are picked and sent to the restaurant, then It's a crime!

"Sister, I'm not young anymore. I can wash clothes and cook at home, and take care of my younger siblings!" A dirty little boy said timidly.The child was about five or six years old, with a thin body and a big head. The clothes he was wearing couldn't even be patched, and the cuffs and trousers were frayed or ripped somewhere. They were all thread and frayed edges.He blinked a pair of big bright eyes, looking at Yi Ren.

"Whose child is this?" Yi Ren asked Sanmao.

"He belongs to the Zhang family. His family is an outsider and has no land. His father broke his leg when he built the city wall the year before last. His mother tends the one-and-a-half acre of wasteland by herself, buys medicine for his father, and raises three children. Sanmao touched the child's head, and continued: "Zhang Ergou is the boss, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below him. He is almost seven years old, and he just looks young."

Sanmao clarified the situation in a few words, Yiren listened to Sanmao's words, and then went to see these children. This group of children, except for Er Niu, couldn't make up a complete set of clothes. The best thing is to patch them up. Just no meat.

Yiren sighed and said: "It's not safe in the mountains. If you go deeper, if there is a wild animal or something, you have to go together. You must not go alone, and don't climb high and step down! In addition, you can follow me to make money. But you have to come and tell me with your parents and make a written statement before you can count, otherwise I dare not take you!"

It's not that Yi Ren is cruel and meddlesome, some things must be done first, and some things must be said first, otherwise something will happen, and it will be difficult for everyone to say.

Picking mountain goods sounds leisurely, but this is ancient times. There may be some large beasts in the mountains. If you encounter a rich wolf, tiger or leopard, even an adult man will act alone, and you have to explain it there, let alone children!Even wild boars, mountain deer, and wild sheep with less lethality are still aggressive.

In addition, children's prediction of risks is also limited. If someone's child climbs a tree on a mountain with some mountain products, falls down, or even dies, how can Yiren explain to his family!Can't take that risk!

Hearing that Yi Ren didn't say anything to death, but just asked the parents to talk and sign the certificate, a group of children stopped arguing.

Then, under Sanmao's command, the group of children carried the big baskets full of mountain goods back to the Yiren's courtyard one by one.Yiren also paid today's wages and sent them home.
