Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 26 Two Choices
Zhang Zhuoyu showed his aunt the handkerchief, and heard that the evaluation was good, but there was no news afterwards, saying that it might be because he was busy during this time, and he would give a clear answer when it was settled later.

This matter is completely in the hands of others, and there is no other way but to wait.

That day, Du Xian and Mrs. Zhao hired a car to go to the town to sell the grain. Even if Du Xiaoyu acted coquettishly, they didn't take her there in the end, saying that the town was too crowded and it was dangerous for children to squeeze in the grain. , she had no choice but to stay at home obediently, and they didn't come back until it was almost dark.

"How about it, how much money did you sell for?" Du Xiaoyu was particularly concerned about this. He heard that farmers in ancient times were very miserable, with heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but the real income was pitifully small.

Du Xian was very happy, "It was sold for six taels of silver, and the land tax was less than usual. The emperor is really good. Everyone is boasting, saying that the emperor reduced the tax, and he is sympathetic to our hard work in farming. Oh, we What a blessing to have such an emperor!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, he was very grateful, and so was Zhao.

Du Xiaoyu grinned straight at the sight, she really couldn't relate to this feeling, this is what the emperor should do, okay, is there any need to be so grateful to Dade?But it is always good to be able to reduce taxes. She prayed silently, hoping that the emperor could live longer, or that he could always maintain such a benevolent heart.

The weather gradually turned cold, and Du Xiaoyu also put on a cotton padded jacket, which was all stitched by Du Huanghua, and it was very warm. As for the square handkerchief, she didn't ask about it, but Du Xiaoyu was relieved. Save time to lie and deceive people.

Recently, Du Wenyuan was always free at home because Mrs. Liu was ill, and Du Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy about it, mainly because of the relationship with Mrs. Zhu.

As it turns out, she was right to be concerned.

At noon that day, the Du family was having dinner when there was a knock on the door.

When Du Xian went out to look, he was startled. He didn't expect that it was the village chief who came, followed by Mrs. Qiu, and the two of them walked in swaggeringly.

Du Xian hurriedly took the chair over, "Please sit down, please sit down, I wonder what's the matter with you, village chief?"

He didn't give Qiu Shi a chair, which caused Qiu Shi to stare blankly.

The village chief took a few puffs of his dry cigarette, "Master Liu is sick and you can still eat?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole family was stunned, but Du Wenyuan replied, "Master, students are naturally worried about being sick."

Mrs. Qiu snorted, "Worried about eating? Mr. Liu has really taught a white-eyed wolf!"

Du Xiaoyu really felt that they were insane, why would they not be able to eat when Mrs. Liu was sick, would they starve to death if they didn't eat?

But then Mrs. Qiu answered her doubts, "If I hadn't met Mrs. Zhu, I wouldn't know that you are so heartless! Mrs. Liu thought of your hard life and specially reduced half of your tuition fees, and you ended up repaying like this The kindness of others? Bah, you are really shameless, and if you pay some money, you don't owe others?"

Seeing that she didn't get to the point, the village chief coughed, "I heard that Mr. Liu was interested in your eldest daughter, isn't it? You don't want to?"

It was all heard by the head of the village. Du Xian was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Mrs. Zhao answered, "Our Huanghua is not worthy of others. How can anyone refuse? Most of them are suitable girls to marry, and a rough girl like Huang Hua really can't get on the stage."

Qiu sneered a few times, "I do have self-knowledge, but Mrs. Liu just fell in love with the rough girl! I heard that he has been ill these days and has not taught a book. We in Beidong Village can count on him to teach more scholars and Juren Woolen cloth!"

Du Xiaoyu's heart tightened when he heard that, the situation seemed to be not very good, so it really got involved in this aspect!

Du Xian rubbed his hands, "Well, didn't you invite a doctor?"

"What's the use of asking for a doctor, isn't it the yellow flowers in your family?" Qiu can say anything, "If you make others lose their souls and throw them aside, you're really low! I want one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhao had already sprayed fire on her head, rushed forward and slapped Mrs. Qiu, "Which one are you calling cheap?"

Mrs. Qiu was dumbfounded by the beating. She did not expect Mrs. Zhao to dare to beat someone in front of the village chief. She immediately rushed over with a roar, and the two of them were immediately locked together.Du Xian was in a hurry and rushed to pull the two of them away. Du Xiaoyu was also in a hurry, but she was so small that she was of no use. Fortunately, Du Wenyuan and Du Xian worked together to pull the two of them away.

Qiu straightened her messy hair and shouted, "Big Cousin, you have to make the decision for me. As you can see, she did it first!"

Mrs. Zhao glared at her, "If you dare to say something about our family, I won't be able to slap you to death!"

Du Xiaoyu clapped her hands secretly, this mother is still brave enough to protect her child unambiguously in front of outsiders.

The village chief knocked his pipe on the table, "What kind of talk is it? I don't have that much energy, I have other things to do," said Qiu, and glanced at her, signaling her not to get excited. Qiu thought of the reason for her visit today. Excited again, he hummed and laughed a few times, "Let's not talk about that cheapness, let's not talk about adultery, anyway, Mr. Liu got sick because of your family."

"Nonsense!" Zhao said angrily.

The village head didn't give a chance to retort, and said sharply, "Shut up, your Du family is repaying grievances with virtue! Back then, Master Liu saw you were poor and exempted half of your tuition fees, and taught your son carefully. Who would have thought that your kindness would not be reciprocated in the end, and you repay it like this Mrs. Liu’s kindness? I planted those barren fields for you because Pang Yong and others said that you are honest and repay your kindness, but I didn’t expect it to be given to the wrong person! This time I’m here to talk about the field. If you If you insist on refusing to marry Du Huanghua to Mrs. Liu, then hand over the ten acres of land, and I will give you five days to think about it!"

These words were no less than a bolt from the blue, and Du Xiaoyu was stunned.

The few taels of silver that the Zhu family asked for before was nothing. After all, as long as there is land, they can still make money, but without the land, what else can they rely on for food?Even if they made 20 taels from selling dried incense before, they can only buy five acres of land. Besides, their family has worked so hard to plant the ten acres of land for many years.

Du Xian shouted, "No way, village chief, we have been planting this field for more than ten years, how can we take it back?"

"Why not? Since I gave it to you, you can take it back!" The village chief snorted coldly, "You should take a good look at the contract back then. If you violated the regulations, I have the right, so you can do it yourself." out the door.

Qiu Shi was very proud, pointed to Du Huanghua and Du Xiaoyu said, "I let you offend me, now you know you regret it?"

Seeing her taking pleasure in other's misfortune, Du Xiaoyu became furious, seeing a dustpan in his hand with a layer of cornmeal in it, he picked it up and threw it at Qiu Shi.

The powder spilled all over her body, Qiu Shi was opening his mouth, a lot of it got into his mouth, choked it into his throat, and it was all powder when he breathed out.She was very angry, coughing and pointing at Du Xiaoyu and scolding, "You, you little bitch, dare to treat me, cough cough, so, look, see if I don't beat you to death..."

"Get out, get out!" Mrs. Zhao couldn't tolerate her any longer, so she picked up a stick from the corner and swung it over.

Luckily, Mrs. Qiu hid in time, otherwise she would have received a stick on her leg. Seeing her aggressiveness, the eldest cousin took another step first. Everyone in this room obviously hated her to death, thinking that she was too weak, so they let go Just leave, still swearing nonsense.

Du Huanghua seemed to have just woken up at this moment, her face was ashen, and her body shook slightly.

Seeing this, Du Xiaoyu hurriedly supported her, and whispered, "Sister, we must have a solution."

Du Xian wandered around the room, not knowing what to do, he slapped his head and rushed into the room to search for the contract. Mrs. Zhao also helped to find it, and finally found it. The two looked carefully for a while, and Du Xian Xian let out an exclamation, and pointed to a very inconspicuous place, "If it is really written, it will be taken back if it is violated, but what kind of rule is it not to marry a daughter?" this contract.

Mrs. Zhao also gritted her teeth with hatred, "It's not up to the village chief to decide what the rules are. They have been looking for opportunities for a long time. Hey, we are farming for others for nothing!" She really didn't expect that Mrs. Teaming up to deal with their family is really hard to guard against villains!

"No, we have to sue him!" Du Xian scolded, the harvest in the barren field was very low at the beginning, and after the efforts of his family, it finally improved a bit, but now it is taken away by others, it is unbearable!
"Where to sue?" Zhao said angrily, "The village head is our official here, I heard that he goes to Feixian Town to give gifts to the county magistrate every year!"

Du Xian was silent for a while, then raised his head for a while, "How about..."

"Don't even think about it!" Zhao said loudly.

She knew that Du Xian wanted to beg his mother Li Shi again, and if there was money over there, things would be much easier, but if she really begged and owed favors, there would inevitably be entanglements in the future, she didn't want to do that.

Hearing the voice inside, Du Huanghua stood up silently to wash the dishes, while Du Xiaoyu was thinking about what to do.

Now things are tricky, and Tian must not be taken away. I don't know if this matter was facilitated by the Qiu family, or was it the combination of the Zhu family and the Qiu family?But no matter what, it's obviously a killer move, and it's hard for them to bear it. Tian can't live without people. At this time, most people will choose to compromise, right?
Seeing that there was no one around, Du Xiaoyu pulled Du Wenyuan and said, "Second brother, what do you think we should do now? My sister must not marry Mrs. Liu." It's the so-called chief, but such a small official, it turned out that they were helpless.

Du Wenyuan only looked at her, "Don't worry, there is always a way."

Du Xiaoyu bit her lip, "Hey, I really don't know what to do. It's useless to ask Mrs. Wu and Uncle Pang for this kind of thing." The barren land is difficult to grow, and it seems like a great favor to their family, but now they want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, it's really despicable!

"Look at Eldest Sister a lot," Du Wenyuan replied irrelevantly, "She must be more uncomfortable than anyone else."

Du Xiaoyu naturally also knows that what she is most worried about is Du Huanghua. She has always been patient and willing to give. Seeing that the family is in such a situation now, you don't need to think about what decision she will make, "I have to persuade Advise sister not to do stupid things, hey, second brother, think about what to do, the village chief only gives five days."

Du Wenyuan nodded, "Okay."

Just as Du Xiaoyu was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered that Du Wenyuan's reaction was too calm. He seemed to be sure, but what backing could their family have?She thought about it hard, and there was no other way out except for the landlord's grandmother. Could it be that he was thinking...

Du Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "Second brother, you can't go to see your mother-in-law! Mother will be sad!"
