Dressed as a villain's mother

Chapter 43
"What's the matter?"

Tang Yunze took a bite, and seeing Doctor Liu's solemn expression, he put down the spoon and asked inexplicably.

Before Doctor Liu could speak, Jiang Yu patted Tang Yunze, "Eat yours, I'll listen."

Tang Yunze smiled lightly and said, "It's okay."

Dr. Liu who was caught off guard and abused: "..."

"Forget it, you eat first, don't get too hungry and trouble me." Doctor Liu turned to Jiang Yu and said, "The big clan always wants your tofu recipe, so I asked Tang Wen's family, and told other villagers, They can bully you at will, and they won’t care. Whoever can make you hand over the tofu recipe will give him 20 taels of silver.”

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Tang Jingxuan staring at them eagerly, Jiang Yu rubbed his hair and said, "Go play with uncle, be good."

"Okay." Tang Jingxuan didn't understand why his mother wouldn't let him listen, but he obediently left.

Only then did Doctor Liu realize that there was a child sitting here, and he was a little embarrassed. "I forgot……"

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you listen a little bit." The main reason is that their solution can't let the children learn it. Jiang Yu didn't forget that asking her to smash it is a bad villain, so no calculation can make him learn it.

Jiang Yu would rather Tang Jingxuan be a fool than go astray.

Dr. Liu nodded and returned to the topic: "There are quite a few people who should be accepted, what are you going to do?"

After such a short time, Tang Yunze had already eaten almost half of it. He said, "Is it because they drained the water from our paddy field?"

"Are they crazy?!" Jiang Yu looked at Tang Yunze in shock, didn't he say that food is the most important thing for farmers?Why are they still working on their paddy fields?
"Perhaps." Tang Yunze pulled the corner of his lower lip.

Dr. Liu frowned, "This is too much, or talk to the village chief."

"Can the village chief take care of this? He didn't catch anyone." Jiang Yu was furious, but still had some reason.

Tang Yunze added: "If they are caught, someone will excuse them."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips tightly, and said after a while: "Then why are we still living here? We might as well move out, the house is gone anyway."

"There were only a few families who responded, and the others did not."

Dr. Liu didn't want them to move away. If they left, they would have to travel a long way to buy tofu and rice tofu.

"How many families are there?" Jiang Yu was speechless for a while, what else could she say?
Dr. Liu coughed dryly, "Isn't it because of the face of 20 taels?"

"Their calculations are too good. Our tofu recipes cost 200 taels and they can't afford them. If you give us 20 taels, of course I won't sell them. Now they spend 20 taels to hire people to bully us, and finally they want to give us nothing. Take the recipe."

Jiang Yu knew what those people were thinking without even guessing.

Dr. Liu stroked his chin and said, "That's their plan."

"Forget it, it's useless to say more." To the disgust of those people, she just wanted to beat them up.

"As long as you know about it, I suggest, find someone they can't afford to mess with, and sell the prescription."

Jiang Yu sighed, "It can't be sold yet."

"Why?" After subconsciously asking, Dr. Liu realized that he had asked too many questions, and was at a loss for words for a while.

Jiang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong, "I just made an agreement with the shopkeeper of Juhuanlou, and I will sell it in a month. At present, I mainly sell tofu to Juhuanlou, and then you, and no one else wants to sell it. "

"That's it..." Dr. Liu said he knew. "I know the shopkeeper of Juhuanlou. His son is the prefect of Qingping Prefecture next to the capital. He is not bad. You can ask him if he can help you."

Jiang Yu knew that the backstage of the shopkeeper of Juhuanlou might be tough, but he didn't expect it to be this tough.

There is a son who is a magistrate, and ordinary forces dare not provoke him.However, just like this, he was forced to almost close the door, which shows that shopkeeper Li is not a person who likes to use power to oppress people.

"Let's forget it. Shopkeeper Li didn't say that he had a magistrate's son when Juhuanlou was so difficult. Let's not bother him with this kind of thing."

Dr. Liu was a little surprised, he thought Jiang Yu would ask to see, but he didn't expect her to refuse directly. "If you can avoid trouble, it's best not to trouble, it's hard to pay back favors."

"Yeah, I owe you a favor for drinking water."

Thinking of what he heard in the ancestral hall that day, Jiang Yu felt it was funny.

"What kind of favor do you owe for drinking water? It's not a drought." Dr. Liu didn't quite understand what this meant.

"It's nothing." Jiang Yu waved his hand, not wanting to mention it anymore.

She didn't want to say, Doctor Liu didn't have to ask, and she guessed it was not a good experience.

"That's it, you should be more careful on weekdays." After eating and finishing talking, Doctor Liu got up and was about to leave when he saw the rice tofu in the basin and remembered again. "Sell me something?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

In the end, Dr. Liu gave ten Wen and took away a large piece of rice tofu. If the weather wasn't too hot, it wouldn't last long, and Jiang Yu wanted to give him the rest.

After Doctor Liu left, Jiang Yu propped his chin with one hand and looked at Tang Yunze who was full: "What should I do?"

"Go scare them again?" Tang Yunze asked with some uncertainty.

Jiang Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Are you kidding me?"

"Ah."

He even admitted it...

"Report to the officials." Tang Yunze stopped teasing Jiang Yu, and directly stated his solution.

Jiang Yu hesitated: "Isn't the daughter of the owner of Hongfu Restaurant the concubine of the county magistrate? Will it be worse if we report to the government? What if they force us to stay?"

Tang Yunze shook his head, "No."

"why?"

Jiang Yu has seen a lot of high-ranking officials bullying others for concubines on TV. Why is Tang Yunze so sure that he can't?

"The concubine's status is very low... Although the county magistrate is a bit lustful, he has not been sentenced to wrongful convictions. The imperial court will send people to solicit public opinion every year, and visit privately. If the official is not upright, he will be dismissed from his post and exiled."

After listening to this, Jiang Yu was shocked, isn't the imperial court really nice?Will you still spend this effort for the common people?It seems that the prosperity is not without reason.

Corruption is under control, the economy has developed, and the country will not worry about being strong.

"Nowadays, His Majesty hates doting on concubines and destroying his wives very much. If you become a concubine for someone else, you have to sign a document. Whether it is life or death, his family members are not allowed to pursue responsibility."

Under such circumstances, they will report to the officials, and after finding out that it is true, those people will just walk away with nothing to eat.

"...Okay." Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something, "Reporter, what shall we talk about?"

"The house was burned. Article [-] of the law states that anyone who sets fire maliciously will be fined ten taels of silver and imprisoned for twenty days. If the fine is not paid, he will be exiled for a hundred miles."
