Si Mingyu rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to bother with you... We are planning to measure the size and renovate this yard."
"After all, we will be living here for a long time in the future, and we can't let this yard remain so desolate and dilapidated."
At this point, Si Mingyu paused and said, "Su Luo, I have discussed this with a few sisters."
"Although we may not be able to help you too much at this time, we still know some basic things, such as needlework..."
"At least, it can help supplement the family income during this most difficult time."
Su Luo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Si Mingyu to say this.
For a moment, I was actually somewhat moved.
In the previous life, it would have been difficult to find such a virtuous woman even with a lantern, but Su Luo has found seven now.
And, they all became his wives.
Looking at the six girls busying around, Su Luo did not refuse, as this would only dampen their enthusiasm.
He smiled and said, "Okay, let's overcome this difficult time together."
"But don't worry, you become my wife not to suffer, but to enjoy happiness."
Si Mingyu smiled and said, "We all believe you."
Delia popped up, holding an axe in her hand, and said, "I can't do needlework, but I can chop wood."
Her pretty wheat-colored face was full of seriousness as she said to Su Luo, "Sister Mingyu said that I can help you in this way!"
"Su Luo, look, those are all the firewood I chopped, isn't that amazing?!"
Su Luo looked over and saw a mountain of firewood piled in the corner of the yard.
Su Luo and Si Mingyu looked at each other. Si Mingyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Su Luo also smiled slightly.
He reached out and rubbed Delia's head, "Not bad, not bad, very good!"
"I'll reward you by letting you sleep with me tonight!"
After saying that, he strode out of the yard.
Delia's wheat-colored skin was flushed with embarrassment. She stamped her feet and went back to chopping wood.
…
When I got out of the yard, I saw Ye Hu and others waiting outside.
Ye Hu and Shen Laosan were talking about something.
In the back, Zhang Daqiang and several former guards of the Si family were whispering, "The son-in-law is really fierce. Not only did he kill the enemy so fiercely yesterday, but he even married seven wives!"
“He’s truly a role model for my generation!”
"He is simply a fierce general..."
Hearing these voices, Su Luo was not embarrassed, but instead straightened his chest.
As a man, you have to be strong!
"Uncle!"
Seeing Su Luo, Ye Hu took the initiative to greet him.
Su Luo smiled and nodded: "Uncle Hu, how is the matter I asked you to help find out?"
Ye Hu sighed softly, "A harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger!"
"Taxes in Daxia are already high, and local officials use the tax system to exploit the people..."
Ye Hu told Su Luo what he had learned about Xiaoyun Village.
After Su Luo heard this, his brows furrowed immediately, "The former head of Xiaoyun Village was so inhumane?!"
"Not only do they collect high taxes, but they also force villagers to kill chickens and pigs, and even oxen for farming... these are what the villagers use to make a living!"
Shen Lao San said angrily: "Yes, these sons of bitches are simply trying to force the villagers of Xiaoyun Village to death..."
Su Luo was also extremely angry. Only then did he understand why Tang Daniu behaved like that last night.
What made him even more angry was that these corrupt officials, knowing that they could not squeeze any money out of the villagers, did not even let them go? !
All the young people in Xiaoyun Village were arrested!
This is not only about forcing the people of Xiaoyun Village into a dead end, but also about completely destroying Xiaoyun Village!
"No wonder, all we saw along the way last night were the old, weak, sick and disabled..."
Su Luo suddenly realized: "Tang Daniu also deliberately emphasized this point! They are afraid that we will be like those bastards in the past and conscript men!"
Then, Su Luo had another doubt, "However, although Xiaoyun Village is located in a remote area, it is only more than 20 miles away from Yunhai Town."
"Xiaoyun Village is also under the jurisdiction of Yunhai Town. These people are so absurd and unreasonable. Don't the officials in Yunhai Town care about it?"
Ye Hu said, "Sir, who do you think is the village chief who is conscripting the men?"
"He is the current mayor of Yunhai Town, and also... the third son of the Xie family, Xie Changyun."
Hearing this, it was Su Luo's turn to remain silent.
Although I knew that I could guess that this was definitely not part of the reason why Xiaoyun Village was treated like this, I didn't expect it to be so rotten.
"A cruel government is more ferocious than a tiger..."
Su Luo curled his lips. He could still avoid the tiger, but how should he deal with these man-eating officials? !
The tree is rotten at the roots.
A village and a town have become so rotten. I’m afraid the Great Xia Holy Dynasty that I traveled through won’t be much better.
Su Luo shook his head to drive these thoughts out of his mind, and said: "Then Xiaoyun Village should not really be filled with only the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. There should still be some young people..."
"Otherwise, Tang Daniu wouldn't have repeatedly emphasized that those young people should be hiding."
Ye Hu nodded, thinking that what Su Luo said made sense.
Su Luo thought for a moment and said, "For a short period of time, we still have to stay in Xiaoyun Village as our base camp."
“Therefore, it is essential to build good relationships with the villagers.”
"We must let the villagers know that we are different from previous officials..."
