Chapter 33 Was he rude to you?
Jasmine took the silver and said to Xiao Yuluo and the others: "Whatever you want to eat, just say, sister has silver today, and I can buy you a lot."

Xiao Yuluo said with a smile: "Sister, I want candied haws, jujube cake, and meat buns."

Lotus said: "You have finished talking, and I don't know what to say."

Jasmine smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll buy these for you."

I bought a few strings of candied haws, some meat buns and jujube cakes, and I bought a few fish and a few catties of meat by the way.

It's not easy to come to town once, so Jasmine thought about buying more to avoid running back and forth all the time.

When they arrived at the appointed place, they just saw Shen Junfeng and the three of them approaching. It seemed that they had already paid the rent, and all three of them had a slight sadness on their faces.

Huh, what happened?
"Uncle, have you paid the rent?"

Shen Junfeng nodded and said, "It's over."

"Then why don't you look happy?"

He Xiaowan said: "Because Master Du said that each household will be taxed by one or two taels of silver."

"Ah, why so much? Isn't there already a rent? Why do you need to add any taxes?"

Shen Junfeng sighed, and said: "I don't know, these rich people just want to search for more rice because we have harvested more rice this year."

Jasmine said harshly: "It seems that Du Shan is really not kind at all!"

Mo Xiaoxiao said angrily: "He has never been a kind person."

Jasmine suddenly remembered what happened just now, and wanted to confirm again, and asked, "Does Du Shan's family have a son named Du Ziteng?"

Mo Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, why did you suddenly ask this?"

He Xiaowan said: "It's not good for a girl like you to ask someone about a man."

Jasmine said: "That's not true. When I was selling bean sprouts, I met him. As expected, I knew he was a playboy."

Xiao Yuluo said: "Yes, that man is so scary, I tremble when I see his feet."

He Xiaowan was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Did he be rude to you?"

Jasmine said, "I ignored him."

Xiao Yuluo said: "Sister is so powerful, I scolded him."

"Candied haws can't stop your mouth."

There was a faint worry in He Xiaowan's eyes. This daughter is also her heart and soul, and she must never tolerate any grievances and hurts.

Jasmine asked: "Uncle, what are you going to do now? Do you really want to give them money?"

Shen Junfeng sighed, and said: "Otherwise, what else can we do? We can't talk to them, they are very familiar with the people in the yamen, if there is trouble, we will become troublemakers, and we will not be able to live."

Jasmine said: "But if it's like this, they will definitely bully us even more, and then there will be more extortionate taxes."

He Xiaowan said: "Jasmine, you don't know how terrifying these rich people are, we can't afford to provoke them."

"I'm going to reason with them."

"Silly boy, since they are doing this, they must be ready. It's useless even if you try to be reasonable. At most, our family will have to drink porridge for half a year."

This year's rice, except for food, can be sold for ten taels of silver at most. In addition to some capital needed for farming in the coming year,
