The officer took it, weighed it in his hand, and stuffed it into his arms. His attitude improved a little, but he was still contemptuous. "You are smart. If you want to blame someone, blame the unlucky star in your Zhaojia Village."
He waved his hand, motioning her to come closer, whispered a few words in her ear, and at the person's shocked expression, reached out and patted her shoulder heavily.
"For the sake of the whole village, I don't need to teach you what to do. Once you've made up your mind, come find me at the county government office and we'll go."
A group of officers came with bad intentions and left arrogantly.
"Sister An, what did that officer just say?"
"Yeah, what jinx? There's no jinx in our village."
"That 40% of grain is too much. The cost of grain harvesting in Zhaojia Village is getting lower and lower every year. Is it God's punishment to starve us to death?"
Several sentimental old men have shed sad tears, their cloudy eyes filled with sadness.
"Sister An, tell me, what did they tell you?"
Zhao Xiu'an clenched her fists, her eyes red and furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "They're really going too far."
The unlucky star the officer was referring to was Zhao Chuchu's family.
They said that Zhao Chuchu's family had offended the big boss in the government, so the big boss punished Zhaojia Village.
If we want to keep Zhaojia Village safe, we must let Zhao Chuchu's family atone for their sins. They are very arrogant and their demands are very clear.
The Zhao Chuchu family was required to give 80% of the money they earned from selling vegetables and cakes to the master. Otherwise, the people of Zhaojia Village would have to wait for the government to collect 40% in rent.
"What kind of damn master is this? He's trying to suck the blood of Sister Chu's family. He saw that his family's business was making money, so he wanted to steal people's wealth."
"Isn't this using us to force Chu Jie'er and the others? No, I won't agree to it."
"Sister Chu is also from our Zhaojia Village."
Everyone disagreed, but when they thought about the 40% of food being lost, they couldn't help feeling sad.
"But how are we going to live in the future?"
At this moment, Zhao Xiu'an, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
She looked resolute and said firmly, "Anyway, my family will not harm Zhao Chuchu's family because of that old master."
Zhao Xiu'an is the fourth sister of Zhao Xiuqing and others.
She could not forget the joy of her second and third sisters when they came back with their wages from working for the Zhao family; she could not forget the hardships her three sisters had endured over the years; she could not forget the joy of her second sister when she learned that her wedding date had been set; she could not forget the delicious dishes and sweet pastries, which her family had never eaten before.
And these were all brought to them by Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Xiu'an didn't understand so many profound principles, but she also knew that even if she couldn't repay the favor, she couldn't be ungrateful.
She believed that even if her sisters knew about it, they would definitely think the same as her.
…
"Brother, brother and sister-in-law, has our family offended the government?" Sister Lin, who was on leave, hurried home and asked anxiously as soon as she stepped into the house.
Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan were about to go out at that time and almost knocked Lin Jie'er down.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Chuchu quickly reached out to support the panting Sister Lin.
Sister Lin raised her eyes in confusion, "Brother, brother and sister-in-law, don't you know yet?"
"What happened?" Mr. Zhang and others came out after hearing the noise.
Zhang Xiulin sighed slightly, "Something really happened."
