Ten dan is not a small number. Even though Zhanyang County is a land of fish and rice, this amount of grain is not enough for ordinary farmers to pay!
Fu Qianhong frowned, "We just came to the village and haven't planted crops yet, so there's no food at home!"
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers looked into the house with a lewd look on their faces and said, "If there is no food, a girl will do."
Although Fu Qianhong had a tough personality, she was a woman after all. As soon as she saw their obscene looks, she guessed what was going on and interrupted them coldly, "If you want girls, go to the kiln. There are none here!"
Several officers and soldiers did not believe it. "If there is no such thing, there must be something. Come on, either hand over the grain or the girl. If you don't hand over anything, you will be sent to the government office!"
What they called going to the yamen meant being taken to the yamen and beaten with thirty sticks. How could ordinary farmers bear such punishment? So they could only obey and live a miserable life.
Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting happened to see this scene when they came back. Both of them frowned, and their patience with these officers and soldiers had reached its limit.
"You want a girl? Okay, I'll go with you!" Chu Chenyin stepped forward and said.
"Sister-in-law!" Fu Kanghong was surprised.
The officers and soldiers also heard the voice and looked at Chu Chenyin.
Chu Chenyin's original incarnation looked exactly like her, a dark-complexioned beauty with picturesque features.
Such a beauty suddenly appeared in this small village, and several officers and soldiers were stunned and almost drooled.
Chu Chenyin raised the corners of his lips and said, "You can let me go if you want, but look, my lord, my family has been fleeing from famine and we haven't had anything to eat for several days. I wonder if I can go with you to your house to beg for food."
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they gathered together and whispered.
"This little beauty, the master will definitely like her."
"That's right. No matter how many people she has, take them all back to the county government first."
"Yes, take them all away. Maybe the master will give us a reward."
"Hurry up then!"
After they discussed it, they smiled at Chu Chenyin and said, "Okay, come with us."
Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Fu Qianhong looked at the fog, walked up behind them and asked, "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you keeping secret? These officers and soldiers can tell at a glance that there is something wrong!"
Fu Yanting whispered something in her ear.
Fu Canghong smiled as he listened, then hurried into the house to tell Lord Fu and Madam Fu about the incident.
Lord Fu and Madam Fu were both smart people. After hearing Fu Yanting's plan, they immediately cooperated.
The family packed up their luggage and loaded it into the carriage exactly as they had done before.
Afterwards, they got on the carriage and followed the officers and soldiers to the residence of County Magistrate Chen in Zhanyang County.
Before they entered, the leading officer went in first and said hello, "Master, we found a beautiful girl for you. She is outside the door now, but she is bringing her family to eat." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
