Splendid blessing girl has space

Chapter 183 Living Without Human Rights
They all asked to wait for the weather to re-dry the grain, and then how much should be paid.

Unexpectedly, the villagers who screamed the loudest were directly arrested by the officials, and now no one dared to make a sound.

I can only watch helplessly as the hard-earned food is taken away, leaving less than one-third of the original amount for my family.

I thought this would be the end of it, but at least I left some food, and when the fields are tidied up, I will replant some sweet potatoes and the like, so I should be able to barely survive the cold winter.

I didn't want to receive another notice the next day, saying that the severe drought in other areas requires food collection, and every household must pay according to the head!
This was fatal, and the villagers started to riot. If they were not given a way to survive, then they would die too!
Not to mention the village chief, he didn't even suppress the officials, he directly transferred soldiers from the nearby military camps and arrested many villagers.

In those two days, Xu Lele and the others didn't even dare to go out, for fear of being affected.

In the end, Chief Zhou from the county came down to talk to Xiao Chaolong. I don't know what Chief Zhou said, but maybe he was afraid that the prefect would not look good if things got bigger.

Anyway, Xiao Chaolong let go, and only took [-]% of each household's charge before taking people away.

Watching the dark mass of people go away with lingering fear, Xu Lele once again lamented the miserable situation like locusts crossing the border, the ancient people at the bottom really lived without human rights!
"Don't look at it, don't you feel bad after watching it?" Master Zhou, who sent Xiao Chaolong away, took the money for the previous painting to Xu Lele by the way.

Seeing that she was so serious that she didn't even notice that she came over, she frowned and called out.

"Master Zhou?" When did this man come? She was so busy looking far away that she didn't notice him coming. Xu Lele hurriedly invited him into the room.

Mr. Li and the others warmly came forward to salute Master Zhou and thanked him. If he hadn't helped to speak, the days that followed would be impossible!

"You're welcome, you just have to live with peace of mind." Master Zhou smiled and waved his hands to tell them not to be too polite, "Okay, I'll talk to this girl, you can do your work."

Xu Lele, who was named, was a little at a loss. What can I say to her?

Master Zhou first asked Xu Lele to take him to see Zhang Xiaohu. Seeing that the wound on his shoulder had scabbed over and his complexion was much better than the previous two days, he knew that the Li family took good care of him.

Nodding with a smile, "It seems that I can go home in a few days."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard that he was going home, his cheerful face immediately collapsed, Master Zhou laughed and teased him: "Is it so comfortable to live here that you don't even want your own home?"

"My lord, stop teasing him. He's only one child. Why don't you tell me what you want from me?"

Xu Lele went out to make tea for him, and heard this just as the tea came in. Seeing that Zhang Dahu's face was blushing, she couldn't help but defend him.

"Haha, you girl, you are still a child yourself, all right, I won't tease him anymore."

Master Zhou restrained his smile when he thought that he came here not only to pay for the painting, but also to remind her of something.

"I'll give you this first." Master Zhou took out a wrapped red envelope from his wide cuff.

Xu Lele was puzzled, "Master Zhou, isn't it too early to give the New Year's money?"

Master Zhou didn't realize all of a sudden, New Year's money?After he came back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing and said: "What lucky money, this is the painting money that Mr. Xie specially asked me to bring here!"

Xu Lele suddenly realized and blushed.

Seeing that Xu Lele hadn't moved, Master Zhou took the red envelope as a gesture to accept it, "Why? Don't you?"
