The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 118 Interests Present
After Lu Youcheng finished crying, Mrs. Cao cried again: "Sure enough, it's difficult for the stepmother. Anyway, it's right to push everything on me, the stepmother. Don't even think about it, Xiao Wei is already a teenager. In two years It's time to get married and have children, the land and property left by his father are all his, as long as he doesn't agree, who can take it away?"

"Oh, his mother can take it away. Anyway, he only listens to his mother. If his mother asks him to sell the land, he will sell it. If his mother asks him to move away, he will move. Don't even think about it. After all, his surname is Lu. Lu The family village is his root! Think it’s all for his own good, and help count the money after selling him, and regret it when he finally finds out in the future, but it will be too late!”

Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu also chimed in, "Isn't it just two hundred Wen a month? Even if we can't find anyone in the future, or refuse to give it to us, we will still support our parents, our own parents and grandparents, and be the source of support for our children and grandchildren." It’s justified. Your grandfather is not afraid of the issue of retirement in the future, he is really just afraid that you will be cheated when you are young, and you will have nothing in the future. Xiaowei, you are a scholar, why can’t you understand his heart?”

The latter words were addressed to Lu Weiwei.

Lu Weiwei just wanted to sneer, she had seen with her own eyes today what it means to turn black and white, pointing a deer into a horse!
She comforted Mrs. Li with her eyes, then looked at Lu Youcheng again, and said coldly: "Grandfather, I know exactly what is on your mind. I will tell you in public today that our mother and son are sold out. Feelings are beyond reason, and no one can control them. From now on, we will pay your money every month, and we will fulfill our responsibilities. No matter where we go or what the situation is, it will not change. Who told you What about my father? Although you don’t take him as your own, we believe in having a clear conscience.”

"As for the idea you made with outsiders, please dispel it as soon as possible. The adults in the county will not listen to your one-sided words, and will definitely investigate and visit in many ways. If you are punished for a false accusation at that time, you Isn’t stealing chickens worth a handful of rice back?”

Lu Youcheng didn't know that Lu Weiwei knew about this, it was obviously their family's secret, the little bastard had only been back to the village for two days, how did he know, could it be that he was a thief?
I couldn't help being shocked and angry for a while, not knowing what to say.

He had no choice but to put on a painful look, and covered his chest, "You, you want to piss me off, don't you..."

Anyway, he is going to be "passed out" in public today, and now is just the time to set the stage.

Seeing this, Second Uncle Lu came to his senses first, hurriedly supported Lu Youcheng, and said anxiously: "Father, what's wrong with you, don't scare me...Xiaowei, what's wrong with you, you made your grandpa so angry, You have read all the books for so many years, can't you go to the stomach of a dog? No matter how dare you contradict your grandfather, no matter how unfilial you are, even though I am only an uncle, I can beat you just the same, so don't blame me for being rude!"

When Lu Weiwei heard that Second Uncle Lu, an illiterate villager, opened his mouth as 'unfilial', she felt it was ridiculous.

She first said to Li Shi who was about to run away quickly in a low voice: "Don't worry, mother, I have a way to solve it, just look at it."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Second Uncle Lu, and looked directly at the patriarch, "Grandfather, my father left early, these years we are orphans and widows, only relying on the care and help of the uncles and aunts in the clan to have such a stable life for so many years However, my mother and I really don’t know how to be grateful. Grandpa should also know that in February next year, I will take the county exam, right? My grades are not bad on weekdays, and I can get the top of the county exam from time to time. As long as there are no accidents, it should not be a big problem to be a scholar in the middle of next year."

"After I become a scholar, I will be exempted from two corvée quotas and [-] acres of land tax. So I thought, it would be better to take one corvée quota plus [-] acres of land tax and give it to the clan Each family will be exempted from corvee this year, and next year it will be exempted from three or five mu of tax. After a long time, every family in the Yu clan will be a subsidy, which will always make everyone's life easier, grandpa how do you feel?"

If you don't believe that the benefits are present, the patriarch and elders and the onlookers will watch Lu Youcheng talk nonsense and put shit on their heads, so as to achieve their own shameful goals!

It also happens to solve the problem that after she wins in the future, the quota reduction and exemption that she has earned through hard work, but wants to take advantage of the people she hates the most, but let them live a good life by relying on her. .

Now that it is Lu Youcheng who insists on giving the opportunity to her, of course she can't live up to Lu Youcheng's intentions!
Sure enough, the patriarch's face was full of joy, "Ha, Xiaowei, you child is really selfless and thoughtful. This is a great thing for the whole clan!"

The elders of the clan are also all smiling.

The annual corvee is really tiring. Not only is it tiring, but you don’t get any wages, and you often have to pay for your own food. When you have that time, even if you go to the town to carry big bags, you can earn dozens of cash a day. One discount, how is it possible without one or two taels of silver?

Besides taxes, one mu of land has to pay a tax of one and a half stones. How much grain can one mu of land produce in one year?Twenty mu of land costs thirty stones of grain a year. Even if a family can only save a stone and a half, it is not a small amount.

The point is not just a matter of one or two years, but good things that will happen every year in the future——it’s just a piece of cake from the sky!
Especially Lu Weiwei added: "When I go back to school, I will work harder. After I win the scholar, I will pass the Juren exam as soon as possible. Once I win the Juren, I will be exempted from ten corvees and taxes on four hundred acres of land." , At that time, there will be no need for uncles and aunts to take turns in each family, and we can directly reduce more taxes for everyone, and really live a good life."

The onlookers were even happier.

Haha, Mr. Juren can reduce or exempt the tax of [-] acres of land, and ten corvee quotas. Isn't it true that in a few years, their families will be rich?
Even if everything Lu Weiwei said is still a mirror image, whether it can be realized or not, only God knows.

But it doesn't prevent the clansmen from treating stuffed pies as their own food. After all, it's always good to have hope, and the hope is quite high. They all know that Xiao Wei's studies are excellent, and he is in the county school. They are all top notch.

Now there is no need for Lu Weiwei and Li Shi to speak again, they have already spontaneously condemned Lu Youcheng, "Brother Youcheng, I am not talking about you, Ren Aqian and his wife earned the land and family business after they separated, you are your own father Yes, you can't control it, can you?"

"That is, when Aqian passed away more than ten years ago, we don't remember what happened back then? You never regarded Aqian as your own son back then. The child grew up soaked in tears."

"It means that Xiaowei's mother has a good temper, and Xiaowei is also a filial person. These years, I have been orphaned and widowed. Life is hard, and I have to give you money and food on a monthly basis. I have never missed a month. If it were me , so you won’t give some people a penny, anyway, if you say it’s broken, some people just ignore it!”

The patriarch also said with a sullen face: "Youcheng, is there anyone like you who is a father-in-law and a grandfather? Aqian's daughter-in-law has been guarding Aqian for so many years, and she has taught Xiaowei so well. She has never done her filial piety." Xiaowei is also smart and filial, and she looks promising in the future. Not only did you not appreciate it, you were not kind to their mother and son, and you always asked about their mother and son, and said you were going to divorce Aqian's wife, so you Aren’t you afraid that Ah Qian will come back to find you in the middle of the night? People are doing their work and the sky is watching, so it’s better to keep some of them!”

Lu Youcheng, father and son, and the Cao family were all dumbfounded.

Why did it suddenly become like this, just now they clearly had the upper hand, why did everyone blame them in the blink of an eye, even the patriarch didn't give them a good look?
Still looking at Lu Weiwei's half-smile face and mocking eyes, Lu Youcheng suddenly understood.

With the benefits in hand, why don't everyone from the patriarch to the people just put the benefits in their own bowls and don't care about anything else?Unless their family can promise you a greater benefit, everyone will talk to their family again. The problem is that his own life is hard, and he wants to make a fortune in his dreams. How can there be a greater benefit to everyone?

In this way, even if he was really "pissed off" by the little bastard, besides his own family, people from his clan and those around him must be willing to testify for him, in order to punish the little bastard for his crime of "unfilial piety".

What's more, looking at the current situation, he is afraid that he will have no chance to be "outraged" at all. As long as he dares to "stun" in the past, someone will immediately use various methods to make him have to "wake up" Bar?

Lu Weiwei saw that Lu Youcheng's face changed a few times, and knew that he had already reacted.

With a malicious smile, he decided to add fuel to the flames, "Grandpa, even though my grandfather doesn't regard my father as his son or me as his grandson, he is still my father's real father. I should take care of him, but I still have to take care of him. Look at this, When I enter the middle school next year and start exempting from corvee and taxes in rotation, my grandfather and others will be exempted first, okay? Although everyone is a family from the same ancestor, there are still subtle differences in closeness. I will take care of them more. My grandfather and the rest of the uncles and aunts will not disagree, right?"

Lu Youcheng was probably still thinking, she only took [-] mu of land in taxes and a quota of corvee workers, the remaining half must be their father and son's share, right?

It's a pity that she left it for her own family and her uncle's family, and their father and son would never want to be contaminated in the slightest.

Anyway, from the patriarch to the clan members, they can only speak on the side of their mother and daughter. It is useless for Lu Youcheng and his son to try to ruin her reputation by saying that they are breaking the sky!
