Chapter 400: Going Crazy Really Relieves My Anger
Su Nuan looked up and said, "Space Spirit, go and take a look..."
She looked around, but there was no sign of the Space Spirit.
She gritted her teeth and said helplessly: "When did she become so gossipy?"
She had no choice but to put the bowl away and prepare to go out.
Xue called out at the door, "Nuannuan, what happened?"
Su Nuan walked out and said, "I don't know either. I wonder what's going on so late at night. Let's go and take a look."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out.
There were carts parked on the streets of the city, with many people sitting on them. Although many of them were well-dressed, in Su Nuan's eyes, these people were all refugees.
Ling Cang rode over and said, "These people took a boat to the river, and just when the carriage was there, they pulled it back."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "People from the Northern Snow Country?"
She had already seen Mu Jin in the carriage, but Mu Jin didn't recognize her without her makeup.
Ling Cang nodded, "Let's settle them down for now. If they want to leave, we won't stop them."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "If you are smart, you will definitely stay. If you are stupid, you will go out and die. We will definitely not stop you."
"After all, the Yuan Kingdom is not tolerant of people without household registration and travel permits, and they are directly arrested and forced to do hard labor."
Everyone knows this, the laws of every country are similar.
Mu Jin pulled the fat man next to her and said, "Dad, let's settle down here."
The fat man was a little hesitant, his eyes kept scanning around, as if he was looking for someone.
When he saw Xiaotian, his eyes lit up and he nodded, "Okay, let's live here."
The woman next to Mu Jin said with a sad face, "But we have nothing left. We can't afford to buy a house."
The fat man said, "It's okay. I can work and make money."
At this time, Ling Cang said, "Those who want to stay will be given temporary household registration. Those who have no bad records for six months will be given formal household registration and assigned a fixed residence."
"If you want to stay, just register and tell us what you are capable of. We will assign you tasks reasonably."
Li Fengxing acted as a clerk to register these people. He kept shaking his head and no one knew what he was doing.
The Space Spirit said, "Li Fengxing is an old fox. He smiles when he sees people with special talents, but frowns when he sees people without special talents."
Su Nuan understood Li Fengxing's thoughts after thinking about it. He felt that people with special skills could create wealth, while people without special skills had to pay to support them, so he was unhappy.
But there's no need to make a fuss about this matter. I came here but there was nothing exciting to watch.
Xue whispered, "What happened in the Northern Snow Country? These people look like they're fleeing."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'll tell you when I get back."
It’s better not to talk about this in public.
Xue Shi became excited when she heard this and immediately pulled Su Nuan back, "Come on, let's talk when we get home."
She saw the old lady coming and called out, "Mom, go home and listen to stories."
The old lady paused and said, "Okay, is there something going on up ahead?"
Xue replied, "It's okay."
The old lady was a person who didn't mind other people's business, so she immediately followed Xue back.
When they arrived at the homestead, Xue said, "Tuantuan is asleep. Go to your room. I'll make tea first."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I'll find some snacks."
The old lady asked, “What should I do then?”
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Grandma, find another small stool. The table in my room is small, so I only have two small stools."
The old lady nodded, "Okay."
A quarter of an hour later, Su Nuan walked in with fried peanuts, melon seeds, popcorn, dried fish and some dried fruits.
She didn't expect that the old lady brought in a rocking chair. The wooden chair was very heavy. How did she drag it in?
Xue was holding a tray with a clay stove, teapot and teacups on it.
She saw the old lady lying in the rocking chair and couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, you are so amazing."
The old lady smiled and said, "This is because my skills are still sharp. It's just a chair. It can't faze me."
Su Nuan put the snacks on the tray in her hand on the table and said, "Yes, yes, grandma is still amazing."
Then the three women began to talk and listen to gossip.
When Su Nuan mentioned kidnapping the high priest, Xue asked, "Did he take all the gold and silver in the city? How much was that?"
The old lady said, "They have to pay 60,000 taels of silver in taxes every year, so all the gold and silver in the city add up to nearly 300,000 taels."
"All this silver is in the hands of some special people, and ordinary people are lucky to have a few copper coins."
Xue asked, "Have you got them all back?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Whatever is taken back will be confiscated by the government."
Xue knew that Ling Cang was the city lord, and she also knew that the public treasury was her son's storehouse, but she said unhappily, "Why are you so stupid? You put in so much effort and you don't even want a reward."
"Everything has gone into the public treasury. How are you going to get more money in the future? Let me tell you, woman, what's in the public treasury is not as good as what we have in our private treasury. Do you understand?"
Su Nuan was dumbfounded. She had seen people cheating their daughters-in-law, but she had never seen anyone cheating their sons.
The old lady also agreed: "That's right, I know you won't be at peace, and this kind of thing will happen again in the future, so remember to save some money in your private treasury."
Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will definitely not forget it."
The Space Spirit laughed and said, "Ling Cang was picked up, right? You are their biological daughter and granddaughter who have been separated for many years, right?"
Su Nuan smiled secretly and said, "Maybe, but they did remind me that I have to build a private library."
The space spirit said disdainfully: "What a hassle, you can just collect it directly into the space."
"Besides, you got a lot of good stuff this time. How can a private vault outside be as safe as that?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "You don't know this. For example, if I took the money from the robbers this time, where would I put it? I can't hug him to sleep every day, right?"
"So I still have to build a private vault and put the things I get in it. Once they all know that I have a private vault and there are still a lot of good things in it, I can do it secretly."
The space spirit called out, "Hey, hey, hey, watch your words."
Su Nuan secretly rolled her eyes. She no longer wanted to be that lady. Why should she tolerate someone who made her unhappy? If she can beat him, then she will beat him. If she can't, then she will wait and find another opportunity to beat him.
The space spirit said helplessly: "I know, it's not the first day I've known you. Sometimes it's really refreshing to go crazy."
Su Nuan smiled slightly. Life is short. It’s time to go crazy and live a happy life.
At this time, the old lady said: "Oh, it's late. I have to go back to bed. I have to go talk to Old Lady Li tomorrow."
Xue nodded, "Yeah, it's getting late, I'll go back to sleep too."
Su Nuan sent the two of them out and tidied up the house. Although the rocking chair took up some space, Su Nuan did not take it away because she felt that she would still chat about gossip with the old lady and the others in the future.
The space spirit asked: "What are you going to do after waking up? I feel a little bored."
Su Nuan shook her head, "I don't know either. Go to sleep and tell me when you wake up."
However, Su Nuan was awakened by the space spirit after sleeping for only an hour.
The space spirit slapped Su Nuan's forehead fiercely, "Wake up, there's a big melon, do you want to eat it?"
