The best peasant girl

Chapter 162
The mayor's mansion, the Tao family is still there, they are all waiting, waiting for Yueying to get the silver back.Seeing everything in front of him, Master Yao sat on the side triumphantly, picked up a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip.

He looked smug, but seemed aggrieved and helpless, "Hey, really, why did I hire Tao Yueshan, a female worker with dirty hands and feet, to look at me like that? I am already very worthy of you. Just think about my embroidery. In fact, it should be worth 2000 taels of silver, but I only want you to pay 200 taels."

While Master Yao was talking, it seemed that at that moment he still felt how magnanimous and kind he was.

Tao Mei, who was controlled, also began to complain nonsensically, "Sister-in-law, what did I say back then, your family was already poor, but your brother refused to listen and insisted on having a son, if at that time your family only had a month old Ying and Yueya's two daughters, how could they cause so many troubles."

Taomei looked at Yuexiang and Yuexin, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "If you had listened to me, my sister-in-law would not have paid so much to collect debts. Brother, you did the right thing. If that girl Yueshan stays The Tao family doesn't know what they will come up with, so even if she comes back in the future, you must not let her enter the Tao family again."

Tao Mei spoke indignantly and gritted her teeth, but this matter didn't seem to have much to do with her.

"Shut up, are you such an aunt? You don't know what kind of person my third sister is, but you still help the bad guys to scold my third sister." Yue Xiang looked at Tao Mei angrily, Yue Xin also said angrily, "When you came to our house, we sisters should get together and drive you out."

"You little girl is getting smaller and smaller. I'm your aunt." Tao Mei said unconvinced, and Tao's mother on the other side was not happy, she said, "Sister, no matter how much Shan'er provokes you She is my daughter, and I will never abandon her." With just a few simple words, Mother Tao said it firmly.

"Why are you arguing? Get out of the irrelevant people." The mayor became impatient when he heard their quarrel, so the guards drove Tao Mei and Father Guo out of the mayor's mansion.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, please be polite." Tao Mei said loudly, "Let's go, our mayor is very kind, why do you still want to be arrested?" The sisters of the Guo family also rushed to the door, Seeing the parents who came out, seeing them going up to argue, each of the two daughters pulled one of them back.

"Okay, you guys, what happened?" Guo Jing asked, and Guo Mei also looked anxious, "Why did the mayor even get alarmed?"

"It's not a good thing caused by your cousin Yueshan. The Yao family said that your cousin stole the embroidery from their shop, and they want your cousin Yueshan to pay 200 taels." Father Tao looked angry, and sister Tao also said dissatisfied. "That's right, they're going to take my half as compensation to Master Yao. How can I swallow that?"

"Then we're going to be homeless again?" Guo Jing looked depressed, her face was as pale as paper, and Guo Mei also looked helpless, "If Master Yao really insists on Tao's house To repay the debt, uncle can't do anything."

"Don't worry, you won't be homeless." "That's right," two terrifying voices came from behind them, and Guo Jing and Guo Mei's hearts tightened, their voices were quite familiar to them. That's right, it was those two people who came.

"Good sons-in-law, you are here. You must have heard that the Tao family was in trouble, so you came to help?" Father Guo saw them walking over happily, and the two young masters of the Zhang family also walked towards them. Many servants followed behind.

The two young masters of the Zhang family did have a serious matter. It turned out that the father gradually began to talk to Guo Jing and Guo Mei. It seems that he will definitely ask them to take them back after a while.Two people absolutely cannot have such a thing happen.

The two hurried to the village to look for them, and when they got there, they realized that they had come to the mayor, so they hurried here again.

Guo Jing grabbed her father and said unhappily, "Father, let's go, we have nothing to do with these two people." Guo Mei also said, "That's right, mother, why did we marry them in the first place? ..." When the words came to her lips, Guo Mei couldn't say anything, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Guo's mother looked at the two brothers, she nodded and was about to leave with her daughter, the two young masters of the Zhang family winked, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, lady, we haven't been together for so long, it's rare to see each other, so let's catch up. "The eldest son said with a smile on his face.

The second son also said sincerely, "That's right, take my wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law, let's find a place to catch up together." The servants around him hesitated for a while and rushed over. Jing and Guo Mei, because the moment they met, the family of four was tightly surrounded by the servants of the two young masters of the Zhang family.

The Guo family's parents were also caught by their group. The two young masters of the Zhang family had brilliant smiles on their faces, as if they really wanted to catch up with them, but if they didn't talk about the old days, what would they do?
Yueying ran so fast that the two big men couldn't keep up with him. They were exhausted and out of breath, but Yueying still looked very relaxed.

"I'm back." Yueying's voice came to the mayor's mansion, and then Yueying ran into the house, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Seeing Yueying who came back, although the hour was past, Master Yao But very magnanimous.

Yueying came in front of Master Yao, and in her hand was a calico bag, which was full of scattered silver, Yueying opened the bag, "Here is all the silver we saved before, no matter how much, We can't even get it out."

"Master Yao didn't seem to listen to Yueying's words. He picked up the silver and turned it upside down. 100 taels is not enough here. What should we do?" Master Yao looked helpless.

"What do you think? There are only so many of us, Yao, don't be too ruthless and careful about cutting off your children and grandchildren." Yuexiang couldn't help but said something when he saw Master Yao with such an expression, but Master Yao was still a little bit They don't look angry.

"Hahaha..." Master Yao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. He said, "Miss Yuexiang is right, so I will be kinder. I will only choose the house and the land, and we will settle the matter in the future. In this way, I will give the house to you." The land you keep will be mine."

"Lord mayor, don't you just say a word? Master Yao's actions are obviously to cut off our livelihood." Yueying called out to the mayor who was sitting leisurely drinking tea.

"I, Master Yao, forget it, the mayor of this town is in charge today, let's just forget about it, and I will return the rest to you when Tao Yueshan comes back." After the mayor said this, the other sisters of the Tao family quit. .

"This person surnamed Yao is clearly blackmailing us, mayor, you are too much, we gave 100 taels of silver is not enough, and we want our third sister to come and work for him when the time comes?" Yue Xin said loudly. .

Yueying also objected, "We have already made the biggest concession, we can't retreat again and again, Master Yao, if you still don't know how to stop, then well, we will sue, big deal, let's go to the imperial city to beg for food This incident has caused a lot of trouble in the city.”

"Just don't look at us as weak girls who are easy to bully." Yueya on the side said loudly through gritted teeth.

Master Yao still looked resolute, but the mayor began to waver slowly. It would be bad for him to let his superiors know that something like this happened to him.

"Okay, I'm in charge today, and this matter is over. Don't bother anyone else, or I won't be polite." The mayor firmly stated his intentions, looked at Master Yao, and then I looked at the Tao family.

"Thank you mayor." After hearing the mayor's promise, Yueying's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a rare smile appeared on her face. The Tao family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the mayor winked. , The Tao family was released from the mayor's mansion.

At that time, Master Yao was there alone in a daze. He hadn't achieved his goal yet, so he felt better.

"Forget it, brother Yao, we should accept it as soon as we are good. Those girls of the Tao family, if you really push them into a hurry, it will not do you any good." The mayor beside Yao's father warned. The master finally came to his senses, "Come to the mayor, these 20 taels are for you. It's really hard work for you to take time out of your busy schedule for my affairs."

The mayor had a bright smile on his face, and he readily accepted the money brought by Master Yao. Master Yao put away the package and left the mayor's mansion in stride.

"Hey, silver is really a good thing. It's ten years Qing government, one hundred thousand snowflake silver, who will be an official if you don't have any money." The mayor was full of joy when he got the silver.

"Master, you are really good at it. You have learned to embezzle." The mayor was happily enjoying the fruits of his victory, but a voice came from behind him coldly, and entered the mayor's ears, making the mayor The mayor's back felt cold.

The mayor stood up slowly, and he turned around. At that time, the eldest lady was standing behind him with a cold smile. Now they are standing face to face, "Ma'am, are you angry? Just now I didn't mean to be cruel to you, and you also know that you should save me some face in front of outsiders, right?" The mayor comforted, but his voice trembled a little when he comforted others.

"Face is given by others, face is lost by yourself, how can I give you face?" The lady said coldly, "How did I tell you before, when you become a small mayor, you will not learn well, start greedy."

At that time, the lady's right hand was placed behind her back, and the mayor explained hesitantly, "Ma'am, don't get me wrong. There is no more honest and honest official than me." Immediately, the mayor took out the family law, and the mayor had no time to hide. The braid in the lady's hand hit the mayor with a wave, and the mayor suddenly felt so painful that he wanted to cry.

"Oh madam, please forgive me, please forgive me." The mayor is usually leisurely and carefree. He has a big heart and a fat body. How can he run faster than the eldest lady? At that time, he finally ran to the door. The door, so he can only be beaten. He regretted it to death at this moment, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.
