The Jinhua man did not die and was rescued by Doctor Zhao.
It's just that he is crazy and his IQ is like that of a three-year-old child.
After this incident, the Su family fell out with the Jin family, and the two families didn't even say hello to each other when they met!
It was drizzling today and the weather suddenly became cold.
Su Yun had just finished breakfast when she heard a noise at the door.
"I want Brother Su Bing, I don't want to get on the sedan chair!"
The canal was almost dug and the Su family was at home.
When Su Huaiyi heard Jinhua's voice, his expression did not look so good.
Two days ago, he and the village head went to Jin's house and saw Jinhua hitting her head against the wall.
Jinhua's mother made a big fuss.
If the Jin family had been unreasonable, they would have blackmailed his family long ago!
Now he feels upset whenever he sees the Jin family.
With this kind of noise, he has no choice but to go out!
"Boss, don't go out later. Just stay at home and accompany your wife!" Su Huaiyi gave the order and stood up.
[This Jinhua is so stupid, but she still doesn't forget to look for my dad. I'm really impressed! ]
Su Yun hurriedly followed.
Jinhua's elder brother held her tightly and said, "Let's go. The Sun family's sedan chair will be here soon!"
"I don't want to get on the sedan chair, I want Brother Su Bing!"
Jinhua was wearing a pink wedding dress, and the earrings she usually wore on her ears were nowhere to be seen.
Her eyes were as clear as a child's and her words were silly.
Seeing that he couldn't struggle free, he bit down hard on Brother Jin's wrist.
"Let go!" Brother Jin slapped Jinhua on the back of the head.
A piece of meat was bitten off and blood gushed out.
Brother Jin was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It’s all his mother’s fault. She couldn’t even keep an idiot under control.
This idiot ran away while getting ready in the morning. If he hadn't run so fast, no one would have been able to catch up with him.
At this time, Jinhua's parents and two other brothers also arrived.
"Creaky~" the door was pushed open.
Jinhua's eyes lit up when she saw the door open, "Brother Su Bing!"
Her eyes dimmed when she saw that it was not the person she wanted to see.
Su Huaiyi's face darkened. "If you want to make trouble, don't do it in front of my house. Take him away quickly!"
"Let's go!"
Jinhua's father was not in the right, and he felt ashamed when he saw Aunt Liu leaning forward to look at him, so he shouted at his three sons.
"Why don't you take him back? What a mess he is in every day!"
The three sons were tall and strong, and they easily carried Jinhua away.
"I don't want to leave. You are all bad people, bad people!"
Jinhua cried.
Jinhua's father raised his leg and kicked her.
"Old man, don't kick him to death! Manager Sun is still counting on our Huasheng to give birth to a big fat boy!" Jinhua's mother advised.
After everyone left, Su Huaiyi's expression eased a little.
Aunt Liu held the melon seeds in her mouth and spat out a melon seed shell, looking like she had just watched a good show.
…
"Dongdongdong~"
There was a knock on the Su family's door again.
"The government is collecting taxes! Gather at the entrance of the village!"
Every household was notified and everyone came to the entrance of Qingshan Village.
Su Yun had nothing to do at home, so she followed her grandfather here.
A dozen yamen runners pulled ten horse-drawn carriages.
The carriage does not have a carriage, but a cart used to pull goods.
[Strange, why are there so many carts collecting taxes this year?] Su Yun was puzzled.
The village head thought to himself that this was not a good thing when he saw the cart. He stepped forward and clasped his hands, "My dear officers, how are we going to collect the taxes this year?"
"The higher-ups have given the order to only accept food, no money!"
The yamen runners and the village head were old acquaintances. In previous years, when Qingshan Village paid taxes, they were always the first to pay, and they didn't have to come in person.
But this year is different. The higher-ups have ordered that they can only come to collect grain a few days in advance.
The head of the village stuffed a dime into the hands of the chief runner and said, "Can't you use money to pay for it?"
"I have no choice but to obey the order from above! If the grain we collect doesn't meet the standard, we brothers will suffer!"
He lowered his voice.
"Don't you have a hundred households in Qingshan Village? Seventy households pay grain, and the remaining thirty households can pay silver as compensation, but the silver will be taxed at 60%."
The head of the village nodded. It seemed that someone above him had noticed that something was wrong on this day.
Otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
He raised his voice.
"Fellow villagers, those who are willing to use silver to pay taxes must pay 60% of the tax. Those who do not want to use silver must use grain as in previous years!"
"Who is willing to pay with silver? This is 10% more money!" Aunt Liu muttered.
Old Liu knows the truth. When the weather gets colder, you won’t be able to buy food even if you have money.
When he went to town to buy food yesterday, the price of grain had doubled.
He was the first to speak, "My family pays with silver!"
"Are you crazy? That's 10% more!" Aunt Liu hit Old Liu on the head.
Old Liu glared and said, "We don't have any children, what do we need so much money for?"
These words touched Aunt Liu's heart. She was so guilty that she dared not say a word. She could only watch her old man go home to get the silver.
Su Huaiyi also paid the same amount of silver.
Many heads of households knew what was going on but they could not blame their wives for making trouble. They had no way to express their grievances and could only hand over the grain.
With those tough words, the woman remained silent and finally paid the money.
More than ten carts were loaded with grain, covered with a layer of straw.
After paying the tax, the Su family actually did not have much money left.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of food at home.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The sky cleared up, but it was exceptionally cold.
Although wheat seedlings have been planted in the field, they have not yet sprouted.
The price of food in the town has skyrocketed.
Fortunately, the village head had already stored away most of the food.
The sun is shining today and it’s still quite warm sitting in the sun.
Li cut some cloth and cotton to make a dress for Su Yun.
Liu Xia was never idle, she sat in the yard sewing shoes with needle and thread.
"Xiao Lin."
The courtyard gate was not closed, and Su Yun saw Wang Lin from a distance.
Wang Lin trotted, "Yun'er."
The two little guys hugged each other.
Wang Erniu walked into the yard carrying a basket and smiling innocently.
"Auntie, I would like you to make a thick cotton jacket for Linlin."
He took out the cloth from the basket.
Li took it, touched the bright red cloth and smiled.
"This cloth is festive, just right for wearing during the upcoming Chinese New Year!"
"Use the rest to make one for Yun!" Wang Erniu brought a lot of cloth. He was afraid that Li would not accept the money, so he bought some more cloth and cotton.
"That's great, two sisters wearing the same thing!" Li was not polite either.
If she doesn't accept it, Erniu will definitely not let her help!
Wang Erniu poked his head in and asked, "Auntie, is Su Bing home?"
"Yes, he's studying in the room!" Li smiled from the bottom of her heart. It was a good thing that her eldest son was making progress.
With his in-laws watching over him, he is sure to pass the exam and get top spot.
Li was still very confident in her eldest son! Liu Quanzheng also heard the conversation outside. He patted Su Bing three times in a row before Su Bing came back to his senses from the book.
"Father-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Erniu is looking for you. You will review later. You can't read books all day. Relax appropriately."
"Okay." Su Bing put down the book.
Wang Erniu didn't want to disturb him, but Su Bing came out.
"Brother Erniu, why didn't you call me when you came?"
"I've just been here for a short time." Wang Erniu scratched the back of his head feeling a little embarrassed.
His beard hid the blush on his face.
"Brother Su, I'm going to the mountains to hunt tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"
[How can I make my Uncle Erniu give up hunting? Uncle Erniu will be in trouble when winter comes. I don’t want Xiaolin to lose her father and be sold by her uncle to the stupid son of County Magistrate Zhao to become a child bride.] Su Yun held Wang Lin’s hand, but her eyes were on her father and Uncle Erniu.
