Splendid Farm: Niangzi loves farming

Chapter 189 Li Zheng
Before the words were finished, Shuanzi's daughter-in-law just opened the door and walked in. Hearing what Aunt Dao said, her face turned red.He looked at Mo Qianqian and Shuanzi's aunt in embarrassment.

Shuanzi's aunt watched her walk in and didn't stop talking, but looked at Shuanzi's daughter-in-law again and said, "Xiaoli! Go back and tell your mother. Don't always come to our house for nothing. It's not from the wind."

After hearing what her aunt said, Xiaoli blushed and lowered her head.Seeing this, Mo Qianqian hurriedly said, "Auntie, what are you talking about! This is so difficult for Xiaoli."

Hearing what Mo Qianqian said, Shuanzi's aunt walked into the room coldly.Mo Qianqian came to Xiaoli's side and sighed, "Xiaoli! Don't listen to what my aunt says, he just has no intentions and forgets what he says."

After Xiaoli listened, she nodded her head and said nothing. She was busy, and Mo Qianqian wiped the wall again.

Time passed and another day passed. Early the next morning, Mo Qianqian got up before dawn, walked out of the house, and went to the elk shed to add some grass to the elk, preparing to feed the elk before dawn. Haohe Shuanzi sells the rice.

After groping in the dark and busying around for a while, the sky finally brightened. Mo Qianqian made breakfast, fed the elk, packed up all odd jobs, and waited for breakfast and Shuanzi to sell grain. At this time, Master Li Zheng pushed open the fence door of their house and walked in.

Walking into the room, seeing Mo Qianqian and his two mothers, with a half-smile on his face, he said, "It's pretty early for you guys, are you having breakfast now?"

Seeing Li Zheng coming, Mo Qianqian's two mothers were beating drums in their hearts, thinking about what they were doing here, early in the morning.

Just as they were thinking about it, Mo Qianqian smiled and said, "Lord Lizheng, why are you here so early?"

Hearing Mo Qianqian's question, Lord Lizheng smiled and said, "Yes! It's not a big deal not to stay overnight, but I just wanted to tell your family that the tax your family collected a few days ago was a little higher. I'll go to the government When I reported it, I told you about your family’s situation, and the government agreed to exempt your family from taxation as a child. It’s enough for you to pay another four taels of silver.”

Hearing what Lizheng said, Mo Qianqian didn't show a happy smile on his face, but frowned slightly unconsciously, thinking, Lizheng couldn't do this for no reason, what's wrong with him? idea.

While she was thinking about it, the two mothers came over in a hurry, and said with smiles on their faces: "Then I really appreciate Mrs. Lizheng's concern, thank you so much, otherwise we would all be together." I don't know how to live."

Lizheng heard Mo Qianqian's mother and Shuanzi's mother say this, smiled and said, "Thank you for what, this is what I should do as a Lizheng."

Li Zheng's words warmed the hearts of the two mothers. Looking at Li Lizheng, he said, "There, I'm all thankful to you. It's not easy for us to have such a good official for the people like you. "

Li Zheng also had a smile on his face when he heard it.But Mo Qianqian, who was standing aside, did not relax her vigilance at all. She always felt that there must be a reason for Lizheng to come to such a place suddenly.

Just as she was thinking about it, Li Zheng suddenly said: "Since I have come, you should pay the rest of the tax bill! It will save me a trip."

After hearing this, the two mothers looked at each other and said, "Lord Lizheng, it's not that we don't want to pay, but there aren't that many right now, look...

After listening, Lizheng thought for a while, with a troubled expression on his face, and said, "Well then, just pay as much as you have now, and give me the rest in a few days."

Hearing that Lizheng had said everything for this sake, the two mother-in-law Ye had no choice but to agree, and the two took out the only two and a half taels of money in the family and handed it to Lizheng.

Li Zheng took the money, chatted a few more gossips, and left Mo Qianqian's house not long after.After he left, the two mothers praised him as a good official.

Although Mo Qianqian thought that Lizheng would not be so kind suddenly, but seeing that he didn't embarrass himself and his family for the time being, he didn't think much about it.

After breakfast, he and Shuanzi harnessed the elk cart, and went out with the rice.

When he reached the door of Zuo Yishu's house, Mo Qianqian asked Shuanzi to stop the car, pushed open the door of their house and walked in, pushed open the door of the house, and saw Zuo Yishu lying on the kang Shang Huhu fell asleep, and heard that someone opened the door, so he raised his head to look, and asked, "Qian Yu, why did you come so early?"

After hearing this, Mo Qianqian glanced at him and said, "Shuanzi and I are going to sell rice, you will come to my house after dinner, and help my mother kiss the rest of the mud on the wall."

Hearing what Mo Qianqian said, Zuo Yishu lay there with an aggrieved expression on his face and said, "I have injuries on my body, how can you still exploit me."

Mo Qianqian glared at him and said, "It's not that heavy, don't be so lucky for a big man, hurry up." After speaking, he walked out.

Mo Qianqian and Shuanzi drove the elk cart to the neighboring village to buy all the rice.After she left, Zuo Yishu got up slowly, got dressed, took good medicine, and went to Mo Qianqian's house.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw that Li was leading several people who looked like officials standing in the courtyard of Mo Qianqian's house.Zuo Yishu subconsciously stopped.After stopping, Li Zheng, who was standing in the yard, said: "These two are servants of the government. They heard that your family Qianyu planted rice this year and it was very successful. They came to your house on the orders of the superior officials. Check to see if it's true."

Hearing Daoli Zheng's words, the two mothers stood in the yard and took a look and said: "Master, our family Qianyu has planted rice and harvested a little bit, but you came late, our two A child has been dragged to sell."

After hearing this, the two officials frowned and said, "It's sold, how can this be? The people in the lower reaches have been flooded this year. We are raising food for disaster relief. I heard that your family has a lot of surplus food, so my lord will come here." Let's check it out, since your family has it, then it's ready, in addition to keeping enough for your own food, you must donate it for disaster relief this year, and if you keep it privately, you will be imprisoned."

Hearing this, the faces of the two mothers understood why Mr. Li Zheng was so kind in the morning, asking for tax money from his own house, and being so easy to talk to if he paid less.

After the officers and soldiers finished speaking, they walked out of Mo Qianqian's house with Li Zheng.The two mothers were dumbfounded all of a sudden, thinking what to do!The delivery of the remaining grain, this is how to do it.
