Ugly Peasant Wife: Money Grubber

"So much!" This time it's Yang Xinyu's turn to cry out.

Gu Jingzhou sighed, "now the monarch of the Northern Dynasty is in a state of mediocrity. The imperial court is corrupt and decadent. The tax and silver of a year is higher than that of a year. You should buy it earlier, girl!"

Yang Xinyu has long heard that the old emperor of the Northern Dynasty was fatuous, and the princes were fighting for the throne, and the people were in dire straits.

I thought it had nothing to do with myself, but it was in front of me.

The high land tax leads to the poor getting poorer; on the contrary, the rich get richer.

The children of senior officials depend on the children of poor families to support themselves, but they still laugh at the poor people at the bottom.

No wonder Gu Jingzhou sighs that such a policy is not friendly at all to their common people.

Yang Xinyu did not hesitate to take out five liang of silver, said, "this is no way, Gu grandfather you take all the money, but also trouble you to go to the county tomorrow."

"What's the trouble, girl? What are you doing with me?" Gu Jingzhou put fifty-five taels of silver into a room, took paper and ink, and wrote a note on the spot.

"Grandfather Gu, what are you doing?" Yang Xinyu asked.

Gu Jingzhou said, "for the sake of justice, I'll write you a note as the evidence for you to pay for the land. When I get the title deed, you can get it by the note."

Yang Xinyu was not very happy and said, "do I need to be like this with grandfather Gu?"

It seems that she doesn't trust Gu Jingzhou.

Gu Jingzhou looked at her one eye, no good airway, "you this wench sometimes is clever, sometimes brain how turn not curved?"

Yang Xinyu said blankly, "what does grandfather Gu mean?"

Gu Jingzhou, with a helpless look on his face, explained, "I'll leave you a note to prevent the people over there from making trouble, saying that the land belongs to them, so you can have your credentials."

Yang Xinyu suddenly realized and said with a smile, "look at me, the people in the old house haven't come home for a long time. I almost forget them."

Gu Jingzhou glanced at Yang Xinyu and said, "bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. You're afraid of what you're afraid of at that time."

Two people look at each other and smile.

He Zijun is afraid that Yang Xinyu will forget the boar meat and drags her sleeve.

Yang Xinyu then lifted the rag and said, "grandfather Gu, I got some wild boars today, and I just brought you some wild boar meat to eat."

Gu Jingzhou saw that the pork had to be ten jin, and then he said with a smile, "you are still a girl. If only my smelly boy would come back to see my old man once in a while."

Yang Xinyu asked, "how long has brother Gu not come back?"

Gu Jingzhou pulled his finger and said, "since he went to the academy to be a teacher, he seldom went home. I calculate that this time it will take half a year."

This time, he Zijun was afraid of making a joke like that before, and said, "I said, why haven't you seen elder brother Gu for a long time."

Gu Jingzhou sighed deeply, "I think he's used to being wild outside. He's forgetting me."

Yang Xinyu and he Zijun looked at each other. He Zijun said, "brother Gu has always respected my grandfather. In the past, he was close to my fifth brother. I know best."

Gu Jingzhou was coaxed by this, and his face soon wrinkled with laughter.

He didn't really feel bad about his grandson, or he was worried about his grandson's delay in returning home.

Yang Xinyu said a few words again, and then he left to take care of his family.

The sister and brother walked back side by side, and no one spoke along the way.

After a while, he Zijun said, "sister, is there enough money at home?"

Although he was too expensive to buy the field this time, he didn't think that his fifth sister-in-law was a waste of money.

Indeed, as Mr. Gu said, taxes will only be heavier and heavier in the future, and the earlier you buy, the more cost-effective it will be.

But he knew that sister-in-law Wu must have spent a lot of money this time.

Even if you have money to sell tremella, you can't spend it like this.

"It's enough. There's more than ten taels of silver left!" Yang Xinyu knew that he would ask. He was a servant.

More than ten liang of silver He Zijun made a calculation in his heart.

One day's wages cost 170 Wen, and the construction period is still so long. Won't ten liang of silver be spent soon?

He also wants to contribute to the family.

But the firewood room is not available, and he can't help.

Now all he can think of is to wash and slice the fruits picked by Yang Xinyu, and then take them out to dry.

When Yang Xinyu saw that he Zijun didn't speak, he knew what he was thinking. He said with a smile, "don't worry, brother. Don't you have boar meat at home? Tomorrow we'll sell it in the county. "

"All for sale?" He Zijun asked.

It's still in the village. Yang Xinyu, fearing that the walls have ears, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "it's 800 Jin to sell all the pork. I've thought about it for a long time. I'll go home and marinate 100 Jin of pork for the winter, and then sell the rest."

That's more than 700 Jin. The normal price of pork is 25 Wen per Jin, which can earn more than 20 Liang silver at one time.

He Zijun thought the idea was wonderful, and he began to smile again.When they got home, Yang Xinyu pickled the boar meat.

He Zijun didn't want to be idle either. He took all the dried fruits out of the sun into the house and prepared to use a small pot to make preserved jam.

Yang Xinyu had just returned home. Before salt was put on the wild pork, he heard a woman shouting outside.

She vaguely heard the word seduction.

At this time, Zhao Xueying panted and ran in and said, "no, sister Yu, elder brother asked me to tell you that there is a crazy woman talking bad about you outside!"

Zhao Sheng was panting after her.

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with her ears. There was a woman swearing.

Yang Xinyu raised her ears, only to hear her scold, "ten thousand people riding things, you should take advantage of my inattention, seduce my man, you still don't give me die!"

Seduce her man, dare to ask her who the man is?

Yang Xinyu suddenly became interested in this woman and said to Zhao Xueying, "take me to have a look."

When she came closer, she saw a peasant woman in her early thirties.

She's dressed in flowery clothes, but she can't flatter what she says in her mouth.

"I said why you didn't come back to eat today. It turned out that you were fascinated by this fox spirit. Are you right for me, for Da le and for this family? When you died, I promised to marry you. I didn't expect you to be such a person. " She was training the man in front of her.

I saw that the man was dejected and didn't dare to say a word. When I looked carefully, wasn't it Xu Daniu?

She said that it was the mother-in-law of which family. It turned out that it was the rumored Hu family.

Yang Xinyu has long wanted to meet Hu. She came at the right time.

"Cough." Yang Xinyu first coughed heavily and interrupted Hu's lecture.

Then she took out her ears and said in a loud voice, "where are these flies coming from? They are buzzing in front of my house. It's really noisy! Do you want people to rest at noon? "
