Chapter 267: Giving Huang Heyu a Gift for Release from Prison
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Don't be angry, second brother. No matter what she is about to face, she will not have a good life in the future."
Song Jinsheng was curious, "Do you have a way to deal with her?"
"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Everything she has is dependent on the Huang family. If the Huang family collapses, she will have nothing."
The harvest was poor this year and many families had no harvest at all.
The Huang family was unable to collect much of the rent from the land they rented out.
Mr. Huang was not a good person either. When he couldn't collect the rent from the fields, he would go to other people's houses, tear down their houses and steal their belongings. Sometimes he even spared the wives and daughters of other people.
In just half a month, two or three lives have been lost.
This matter was no secret in the nearby villages, and she had heard about it in Lushan Village.
But those people had little influence, and they had already defaulted on the land rent, so they were threatened by the Huang family and had no choice but to swallow their anger. After all, they still had to make a living in the village.
The Huang family had been landlords in Shili Village for more than ten years, and the evil things they had done were definitely more than what she had heard this year.
She only needed to come forward to support these people and let them sue Mr. Huang to the county government. She didn't know whether the Huang family would fall, but Mr. Huang would definitely not be able to leave the county government for a while.
Seeing that Huang Heyu and Lin Zhaozhao were about to be released from prison, she had to give Huang Heyu a gift for their release.
Just think of it as getting rid of harm for the people.
Song Jinsheng was a little surprised. "The Huang family is a well-known landowner in the area. How could it be so easy for them to fail?"
"Second brother, just watch." Song Yuntang smiled and turned to look at Tu Shi who was not far away.
"Tu Shi, help me carry two bags of rice to the mule cart."
"Okay."
Tu Shi responded and went to the granary to move rice.
Then he asked Xu Wencheng to hand over the 20 kilograms of lotus roots brought from Huajianzui on the mule cart to Miao. With so many people in the farm, they still need some vegetables to eat every day.
…
It was already the end of the hour of Wei when they returned home. Xu Erniu first helped Xu Wencheng unload the rice.
He cleaned up the mud on the two stones of lotus roots he collected from Erzhu yesterday and did not make the mule cart dirty. There was no need to wash it every day, so Song Yuntang told them to just open the mule cart to let some air in.
When Xu Changgen learned that Xu Wencheng and Xu Erniu had returned home, he hurried over.
"Wencheng, Erniu, did you gain anything in town today?"
"Including my sister-in-law's, the total amount sold is thirteen stones." Xu Wencheng looked at him, "How much did you take?"
Xu Changgen breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have collected nine stones so far. I was worried that I would not be able to sell them all and they would become rotten in my hands. It seems that there is no need to worry now."
"Nine stones, this is not enough." Erniu looked worried.
Xu Changgen said hurriedly, "Don't worry. Some of the people who came back this morning sold me lotus roots and went back to dig lotus roots after lunch. I think it will be no problem to collect thirteen stones. Maybe there will be more."
Xu Wencheng thought about it.
"I'm afraid a mule cart can't hold so many lotus roots. They're long roots. Why don't you go to Erzhu's house and rent his ox cart tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, I'll go first then."
Xu Changgen said this and ran towards the village entrance.
Xu Wencheng turned to look at Song Yuntang again, "Sister-in-law, are you going to use the mule cart tomorrow?"
Song Yuntang shook his head, "Not tomorrow, what's wrong?"
Xu Wencheng scratched the back of his head.
"I want to go to the county town with Erniu after delivering the lotus roots in town tomorrow."
Song Yuntang didn't object. "Okay, you can drive the mule cart, but there are a lot of robbers on the road recently, so you two just need to be careful."
Xu Wencheng smiled happily.
"Okay, we got it, thank you sister-in-law."
"We're a family, so don't thank me."
After Song Yuntang finished speaking, he took some things from the house and ran to the toilet. After washing his hands, he took the tools from the basket under the eaves and began to grind the medicine powder.
Seeing this, Xu Wencheng washed his hands and hurried over to help her.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Xu Changgen went home again in the evening and told Xu Wencheng that he had received a total of 16 stone of lotus roots.
In this way, after delivering the thirteen stones set by the town, there would still be three stones left.
It shouldn't be difficult to go to the county town tomorrow and sell the remaining three stones of lotus roots.
…
Song Yuntang had a dream.
She dreamed that Xu Qingye came back and lay beside her.
Just when she was about to put her hands and feet on him, her body suddenly became suspended in the air and she fell to the ground.
The feeling of weightlessness woke Song Yuntang from his dream, and then he fell to the ground with a "thump".
"hiss!"
Although the house has a flat dirt floor, the kang is higher than an ordinary bed, so it still hurts a bit if you fall off it.
Fortunately, there were no sharp objects on the ground, otherwise it would be dangerous.
Jiang, who was busy in the yard, heard the noise and hurried to the door to ask.
"Tang'er, are you okay?"
Song Yuntang said hurriedly, "It's okay, I accidentally rolled off the bed when I fell asleep, it's nothing serious."
"Qingye's kang was beaten quite hard before..."
Jiang suddenly felt that the bed couldn't be too big, otherwise the young couple would sleep separately, and her wish to hold her grandson would be even more difficult to realize.
"My sister-in-law rolled off the bed?" Xu Wencheng came out of the room in a daze, scratching his head. After yawning, he smiled heartlessly and said, "My mother said before that I was not honest when I slept, but my sister-in-law was even more dishonest than me. She even fell off the bed."
After hearing this, Jiang slapped him on the head.
"Keep your voice down."
Xu Wencheng, who was not yet fully awake, looked aggrieved.
"Mom, I didn't say anything else, why did you hit me?"
"Your sister-in-law is a girl. Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? You'd better be more careful, or you won't be able to find a wife in the future!" Jiang snorted and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Xu Wencheng curled his lips.
"If you can't ask for it, then don't ask for it."
Song Yuntang got up from the ground and sat on the edge of the bed thinking about the dream he had just had.
Could it be that she was possessed by a demon and actually dreamed about Xu Qingye? Do you still want to put your hands and feet on him and hold him to sleep?
I returned home from the county town on the fourth day of the New Year, and today is the ninth day.
It's only been five days, but it feels like we've been apart for a long time. Deep down, I actually still want to see him.
We've only been sleeping in the same bed for more than ten days, and you've already gotten used to having him around?
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Song Yuntang got up, put on his clothes, opened the door and took a deep breath.
It tastes cool and sweet, and instantly makes you feel refreshed.
Gradually, the village began to become lively.
There were the sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, and children playing, and then, smoke rose above the kitchens of every household. The originally quiet little mountain village suddenly "came alive" because of the smell of smoke.
Jiang had steamed egg custard in the morning and heated up the remaining buns and steamed buns.
After breakfast, Xu Wencheng harnessed the mule cart and removed the seat inside, so that it would be easier to load the lotus roots and avoid dirtying the seat.
