Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 11

After Li Ermazi left, the village head came up and looked at Tian Liusu up and down, and said, "Miss Su, you beat Li Ermazi like that? When did you learn martial arts?"

"It was me who beat me. I was suffering from illnesses all the time. After waking up last time, I asked Lao Liangtou to prescribe some medicine. I felt much better. I had practiced some rough martial arts before, but I couldn't perform them due to my weak body. Today is just right." He came to the door again to bully our mother and son, and I beat him up in a hurry."

"Oh? Have you practiced martial arts? Why haven't you heard of it before?" the village head asked her suspiciously.

"Do I want to report everything to you?" Tian Liusu looked at the village chief with some disgust.

The village chief was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing awkwardly: "Of course not."

"Since it's not, everyone, please go back. The little lady has been tired all day and wants to rest earlier."

The crowd originally came to watch the excitement, but seeing Tian Liusu actually beat Li Er away, they all felt bored, and Tian Liusu ordered him to evict them, so they also slowly dispersed, but they all suspected Tian Liusu in their hearts.

Seeing this, Sister Song came up to comfort her, Tian Liusu thanked her for bringing some dried bacon to Zao Ya, and Sister Song also left with a trace of doubt.

Tian Liusu went back to the house and saw An'an and Lele lying on the crack of the door watching, their little fists clenched tightly, their expressions were both excited and fearful, and secretly thought how weak the deity was before, look at bringing the two children together what happened.

"An'an Lele, don't be afraid of bad people in the future, mother will protect you, did you see that mother beat up bad people just now?"

"I see, mother, you are so powerful. From now on, we will no longer be afraid of being bullied by bad people." The two children shouted excitedly, tugging on her skirt.

"Well, mother wants to stand up, protect An'an and Lele, and live a good life." Tian Liusu clenched his fists and raised them up.

"Mother rises up." An'an and Lele also stretched out their small fists and clenched them upwards. The cheerful and lively temperament of the two gradually revealed. They felt that their mother had become much stronger after recovering from illness. Such a mother let them Very happy.

These days, Tian Liusu secretly observed the two children, and felt that the two children were lively and active, but they were controlled too strictly by the deity before, and they were a little timid and afraid. During this time, under her subtle guidance, they felt that the two children People are gradually changing, and they have revealed their original temperament, so they gradually let go of their hearts.

Children should develop according to their own personalities according to local conditions, and they should not be restrained too much, otherwise it will not be conducive to their growth.

After the autumn harvest, when it was time to collect the rent, Tian Liusu harvested [-] catties of corn and [-] catties of sorghum per acre of land. She calculated that the remaining rations after paying the rent would not last until next spring, one winter. Just finished eating.

She made a plan, boiled a pot of Poria cocos paste and sent it to Tong Ren Tang for a trial sale, and then planted the small half bag of sweet potatoes in a few days to see the effect.

That night, she took out the tuckahoe paste that had been sealed in the jar the day before, added honey and goat's milk, and boiled it over low heat for a while.

Three days later, she found time to send a jar of Poria cocos jelly to Tongrentang. The shopkeeper Zhu tasted the taste and applauded on the spot, saying that it was better than the ones he sold in the past. He would try it for a while to see the effect. If it is good, it will be divided into her.

Tian Liusu immediately asked shopkeeper Zhu to make some exquisite small porcelain jars to pack the poria cocos paste in a small jar, which is beautiful and can earn more money, and got the approval of shopkeeper Zhu. After filling a large jar, shopkeeper Zhu must have staff in the pharmacy, and letting them pack it separately will save a lot of trouble.

After returning from the town, Tian Liusu went to the field again. It took four days to remove all the harvested sorghum stubble and corn stubble, and re-loosen the soil and make it ready for use.

After the ground was leveled, Tian Liusu cut the small half bag of sweet potatoes according to the bud eyes, cut them into small pieces and used them as seeds, dug a hole about fifteen centimeters with a hoe and planted it, and covered it with soil.

The small half bag of sweet potatoes was cut into seeds and actually planted a whole plot of land. Tian Liusu felt the soil warm and warm when she touched it with her hands, but she didn't feel cold at all. , if new shoots can grow, it means that the temperature of the land can be planted.

After planting the sweet potatoes, she thought of the paradise, and thought about asking Song Xi to go to the mountains some other day, find that place, and dig some sweet potatoes to store food for the winter.

Tian Liusu planted sweet potatoes while making poria cocos paste, and now she is waiting for the fruit. On the day she planted sweet potatoes, several villagers came to watch and laughed at her stupidity, saying that she didn't know what she dug a hole from the ground to bury. She is poor and crazy, and wants to use that land as a cornucopia, she scoffs.

Two days later, Li Er led the village chief and the servants of Qinjiazhuang to start collecting rent from house to house. From time to time, Tian Liusu heard noises, cursing and faint gasps coming from afar. Xindao what is this person doing again?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching. It sounded like a lot of people had gathered towards her house. Tian Liusu frowned, went out and stood in the middle of the yard.

Li Ermazi led six or seven servants, followed by Niu San's daughter-in-law Osmanthus, Ma Zhuang's daughter-in-law Yulan and Cuiying from the east of the village, and other tenants came towards her house aggressively.

When he arrived at her courtyard, Li Er didn't say a word, and walked up with a wave of his hand. A servant handed Tian Liusu a small wooden sign. Tian Liusu took it and looked at it, only to see that it read: The land rent of Mrs. Su at the west end of the village, confiscating sorghum and corn A total of 630 catties.

"Isn't it [-]% of the total harvest? Why so much? My family has a total of [-] catties of grain. If you take [-]% of it, won't it cut off our mother and child's livelihood?" Tian Liusu asked angrily after seeing the sign.

Li Er knew that she would be like this, so he grinned grimly. The swollen mouth of the sausage was not as high as the previous two days, but it was still not completely healed. He walked to the fence and pointed at Tian Liusu: "Miss Su, since you came to Tianshui Village You pay [-]% more rent than others, don’t you want to deny it? This year’s harvest is not good, our son said, all foreigners will pay [-]% more rent.”

"Why? If the harvest is not good and you need to increase the rent, what kind of theory is this?" Tian Liusu was angry and angry, feeling resentful in his heart.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Not only do you have to increase the rent, but all the tenants in Tianshui Village charge [-]% more rent." Li Er smiled triumphantly.

"Why? What does it have to do with all the tenants in Tianshui Village?" Tian Liusu looked at the villagers behind Li Ermazi who were glaring at her and finally understood.

"What's the matter? When you hurt the servant of the Qin Family Mansion, you slapped the son in the face indirectly. This is the son's punishment for you, and they took you in, so naturally they have to bear the mistakes you made."
