Chapter 376: Ten taels of silver exempts from corvée labor...



Yang Guo stared at Qiao Qiyue with resentful eyes!

"Go and listen! Come back and tell me!" Qiao Qiuyue was ready to continue working!

"Isn't that the old village chief?" Yang Guo shouted at Village Chief Qin who was walking not far away!

"What are you looking at? Go and give them a hand!" Widow Chen suddenly appeared and kicked her unreliable youngest son!

"Old village chief, why are you here!" Yang Guo ran over anxiously!

Even Jiang Laosan and his wife from next door came over!

Zhao Xiaohua supported Widow Chen and watched eagerly!

"Ahem, here come the yamen runners. I came here to tell you that the labor service fee has increased, ten taels of silver per person." Village chief Qin was also worried. In previous years, it was only two taels of silver, and the family had to pay for the tooth. No matter how important money was, it was definitely not as important as having a few sons!

Last year it was five taels, that’s all! This year it was ten taels!

Farmers work hard for one year but can't earn as much as they would in ten years. This is obvious and they are very bad people.

There are only a few families in the village who give money as compensation, and they are all the relatively close families.

"Ten taels? Why doesn't he just rob it?" Widow Chen widened her eyes after hearing this!

"Get the rules, the yamen runners are still waiting, we have to set off tomorrow! A family of six needs to provide two people for labor!" After saying this, Village Chief Qin sighed loudly!

"Oh my god!" Yang Guo felt sick when he heard the word "ten taels"!

"Go to hell!" Widow Chen raised her leg and kicked her youngest son!

"Mom..." After working hard for a year, she only earned more than thirty taels. Now it's not a matter of a few taels, it's ten taels. Yang Guo is heartbroken!

"Let's discuss it properly and don't use force!" Village Chief Qin said, and looked at Qiao Qiyue!

"Master, I want the money!" Qiao Qiuyue ran back to the house quickly. She always liked to put some money in her pocket because she liked the crackling sound. But today she had to go to the fields to work, so she didn't put any money in her pocket!

At some point, Jiang Laosan and his wife also left. Jiang Laosan's wife felt sorry for Shiliang, and she felt even more sorry for her husband. But compared to Shiliang and her husband, she felt even more sorry for her husband!

Jiang Laosan saw what his wife was thinking and dragged her back home! How could ten taels of silver be so easy to earn!

As soon as Qiao Qiyue entered the house, Zhao Xiaohua quickly let go of her mother-in-law and ran back to the house. Ten taels was a huge number for her, but compared to her husband, it was nothing!

You can earn money if you lose it.

"Master, give it to me!" Qiao Qiuyue ran out!

"Look at your pig brain. You are not in good health but you are trying to show off!" Widow Chen scolded her youngest son!

"Village chief, we're in trouble!" Zhao Xiaohua had already taken out ten taels of silver and handed it to Village Chief Qin!

"I..." Yang Guo wanted to grab it immediately!

Village Chief Qin left quickly!

"Xiaohua, close the door!" Widow Chen dragged her stupid son into the house!

"Okay! Mom!" Zhao Xiaohua also felt that her man deserved a beating!

Immediately, Qiao Qiuyue stopped working in the fields and digging sweet potatoes, and decided to wait and see what fun would bring!

"Ouch...."

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"Oh my dear mother!"

"Wife, help!"

After a commotion, Widow Chen stared at her little son kneeling on the ground with burning eyes!

"I'll ask you again, which is more important, money or your own health?"

Zhao Xiaohua endured it again and again and finally managed to restrain herself from going up and beating her husband!

No matter what Yang Guo was thinking, he had learned his lesson now!

"Of course health is important!" But money is important too!

There was also a fierce battle at Jiang Lao San's house next door, but it was between a man and a woman...

Looking at her husband's face full of reluctance, Zhao Xiaohua was extremely anxious. Her father on her mother's side was old, and one of her second and third brothers would definitely have to give birth.

She was worried about whoever she went to, but she also knew that her parents wouldn't give her ten taels of silver! It's not that she didn't feel sorry for her second and third brothers!

But it is really possible that you cannot get it out at home!

"Second brother's family, your father and the others should have known the news, let's go and take a look!" Widow Chen looked at her younger daughter-in-law and said!

Zhao Xiaohua looked at her mother-in-law with gratitude, then turned around and prepared to run!

"Stop, why are you leaving empty-handed?" Widow Chen had hinted as much as she could!

"Mom..." Zhao Xiaohua stood there in a daze!

"Wife, go get the silver!" Yang Guo no longer cared about whether he felt bad or not! At worst, the pain would pass!

"Thank you, Mom!" Zhao Xiaohua slipped back into the house!

"If you yell at me again, I'll break your legs. Go with your wife. You can earn money if you lose it, but no amount of money can make up for the damage you do to your body!" Widow Chen said to her grinning little son!

"Mom, you are worthy of being my mother. Look at your demeanor and magnanimity. Wow, few people can compare with my mother!" Yang Guo got up from the ground and started flattering his mother!

Widow Chen was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Widow Chen's angry and distressed look, Qiao Qiuyue couldn't hold back her laughter any longer!

"Get out!" Widow Chen roared!

"Wife, let's go!" Yang Guo pulled his stunned wife and ran!

As soon as Zhao Xiaohua came out, she saw her mother-in-law roaring and thought she was regretting it!

"Yadan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!" Widow Chen calmed herself down.

"No, no!" Qiao Qiyue's stomach hurt from laughing!

Widow Chen felt heartbroken just thinking about the dozens of taels she had spent!

Halfway!

Zhao Xiaohua felt very lonely when she saw the backs of many people!

The silver in my arms felt even heavier after I took it away!

"Boss! I will treat mom very well from now on!"

When these words came out, Yang Guo was stunned!

"Wife, are you stupid?"

"I don't want to talk to you!" Seeing her husband's dazed look, Zhao Xiaohua shut up.

"I..." Yang Guo scratched his head foolishly. Is he really crying? It's impossible. He just doesn't want to put pressure or burden on his wife!

He is a grown man and the head of the family, and he should take the responsibility himself!

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law..." Wang came back from the village chief's house and rushed home in a hurry!

"What's wrong? Look how anxious you are!" Chen ran to the door with her eldest daughter-in-law!

"Third sister-in-law, this time the corvée labor service is ten taels, it's ten taels!!" Wang's face turned pale!

Chen almost lost his footing!

"Mom!" Qi Yuanyuan panicked!

"Where's Thirty Percent? Why hasn't Thirty Percent come back yet?" Chen asked anxiously!

"Thirty percent of the nominations!" Wang said cautiously!

Upon hearing this, both Chen and Qi Yuanyuan were unable to stand!

"Yuanyuan, third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law." Wang was extremely scared!

"Stinky brat! It's not his turn to make the decision at home!" Chen couldn't deny that when she heard it was ten taels of silver, she was definitely thinking about whether to let her youngest son go or her eldest son! She had never thought about taking out ten taels of silver!

But when she heard that her eldest son was going, her heart ached!
