Chapter 194 The whole family is dirty and smelly

Although Mr. Zhang was very angry, he was still thinking about the land tax on the thirty acres of land.

Just help, he doesn’t have to go to the fields himself anyway.

Of course, it was impossible to hire a long-term worker, so I could only ask two servants at home to do the work.

The next morning, Mr. Zhang really asked He Ma and the servant Daxing to report to the Li family.

There was nothing wrong with the servant Daxing, because he was the one who did the hard work at home.

But He's mother was feeling very angry in her heart, wondering why her life was so miserable!

Others are servants, and the roughest work they have done is just washing clothes, cooking, and moving things!

But as a servant of the Zhang family, he had to give dozens of acres of land to his master!

After cutting off the master's family, they even have to cut off the son-in-law's family. What kind of people are they? They are simply a big skinner! If you love to dig so much, why don’t you dig to death these shameless stingy people!

When Zhang Shuiniang saw the two men come in, she raised her chin proudly.

It seems that even if she gets married, she is still the daughter of the Zhang family and her parents are reluctant to let her suffer even a little bit.

Li Zhiyuan gently pulled Zhang Shuiniang to his side: "Shuiniang, thank you."

"That's nothing. Even if I didn't ask, my parents would have sent someone over."

"Shui Niang, it's great to marry you."

When Ye Caiping's brothers came to help, Li Zhiyuan thought that was shabby and was their due.

But when the Zhang family sent two servants, Li Zhiyuan felt proud, because they were real servants!

It was his blessing to marry Zhang Shuiniang, a wealthy lady, and he benefited from Shuiniang's influence.

Li Zhiyuan, like a master, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Go quickly!"

As Mother He walked, she cursed in her heart, "Why are you pretending!" Cough and spit, how shameless!

…

Mrs. Zhao walked into Ye Caiping's house excitedly.

Old Mrs. Ye was making clothes in the corridor. When she saw her, she immediately perked up!

He put down the work in his hands, went back to the house and got out a basin of melon seeds.

"Hehe." Mrs. Zhao sat down on a small stool in the corridor. "I tell you, the old Li family is almost laughing to death."

As he spoke, he told Old Mrs. Ye that Li Zhiyuan's fields were overgrown with weeds and half of the crops had died.

Old Lady Ye cursed inwardly, "Speaking of which, how come you are so well-informed? You already know about something that just happened yesterday afternoon."

"Well, my sister came to tell me this overnight."

The corner of Old Mrs. Ye's mouth twitched slightly. What kind of gossiping spirit is this!

With you two old sisters around, this area will be lively!

As he was speaking, Ye Yong and Ye Xuan came in with their feet in mud, their trouser legs rolled up to their knees. Ye Xuan was holding a small bucket in his hand, which was half filled with snails.

"Did you go to the fields?" Mrs. Zhao smelled the smell of dirt on the two of them.

Ye Yong smiled and said, "Well, we have finished planting the rice seedlings in our paddy fields today."

"Why is Ye Xuan going too? Isn't he in school? He is a good scholar, but he is working in the fields."

Ye Xuan said: "I'm not a son of an aristocratic family. My family is originally a farmer. How can I not work in the fields?"

"Isn't it said that scholars don't work in the fields?"

"Where did you get that?"

"That must mean that scholars cannot work in the fields. That's what Li Zhiyuan said."

Ye Xuan laughed, "Nonsense. Mr. Shen said that farming is the foundation of a country. Every year during the busy farming season, both the county school and the private school will let students take a few days off. Does Grandma Zhao think that the county school's holiday is to let students go home and play?"

Mrs. Zhao was surprised and said, "Is it possible that even the county school is giving students a holiday to go home and work in the fields?"

"Um."

"What about the scholar..."

"Many scholars also study in the county school. If there is farm work at home, they will go home to work. But some are lazy and don't want to go to the fields because they care about their hands and feet."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she seemed to have obtained some important information. Her eyes lit up, and she turned around and ran away without even bothering to crack melon seeds.

Ye Xuan was stunned when he saw Mrs. Zhao suddenly running away.

…

After someone harvested the crops, Li Zhiyuan's family was very happy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Li Zhiyuan happened to be playing chess with Zhang Shuiniang in the courtyard. He walked to the door and was about to open it.

Suddenly, he remembered the two bad experiences last time. This time he was cautious, peeked through the crack in the door, and then took a breath.

Why is that damn nagging old woman here again?

Humph, luckily he was careful!

Just stand outside. Only a fool would open the door and cause trouble for himself!

Li Zhiyuan returned to his seat, and Zhang Shuiniang asked, "Who?"

"It's that nagging old woman. Let's pretend she's not here and ignore her."

Zhang Shuiniang's face changed and she gritted her teeth in hatred. Every time this old woman appeared, she would be humiliated from head to toe!

"Open the door, open the door. Li Xiucai, why don't you open the door? I know you are at home!"

Li Zhiyuan: “…”

"Hey, why are you so stingy? You're afraid of hearing any good news from your ex-wife's family."

"Open the door..."

Li Zhiyuan and Zhang Shuiniang felt very proud when they saw Mrs. Zhao cursing. They just refused to open the door. What could she do to them?

Mrs. Zhao took pictures for a while and then left.

Li Zhiyuan and Zhang Shuiniang breathed a sigh of relief.

But they didn't know that they were about to pay the price.

When Mrs. Zhao saw that they didn't open the door, she ran directly to sit under a big locust tree not far from their house.

The big locust tree is the favorite gathering place for the villagers of Lijia Village. The spring plowing has just been completed and everyone is free. A group of wives and young women are chatting and playing dominoes.

Mrs. Zhao is a very outgoing person. She doesn't care who is sitting in front of her and just starts talking.

"Oh, let me tell you, this Li Xiucai family is really lazy. In the past, Caiping's family did farm work for his family, and now they let Zhang's family do it for him. Why does he like to be supported by his wife's family so much?"

The villagers were stunned: "It's just asking my mother's family to help with the work..."

"How can you let your mother's family do the work and not do anything at all in your own family?"

When the villagers heard this, they thought it made sense!

"In the past, people said that we Caiping emptied our mother's family and made our husband's family poor. But what does the Li family have? Even the land is cultivated by Caiping's family."

Villagers: "It is true! The crops from these fields are the foundation of our farmers and the biggest source of income. If even these are grown by my wife's family, then I am being supported by my wife's family!"

"Of course not." Mrs. Zhao nodded. "In this family, the oldest, Mrs. Li, is only fifty. The youngest, Li Jiaojiao, is already fourteen. They are not disabled. They are all healthy. They do nothing. They are really possessed by lazy ghosts."

When the villagers listened, they felt that it was hard to describe the situation of Mr. Li’s family.

Plus, the daughter-in-law asked the mother-in-law to help her wash clothes before, and the mother-in-law likes to be a servant. Now she is possessed by a lazy ghost. It's really... Anyway, she looks dirty and smelly.

"Where did this old woman come from? She dares to slander my uncle, the scholar!" A sharp voice sounded, it was Li Gou Wa.
