Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Chapter 42 Seeking Justice

"Old man, what's the matter? The village chief came to talk to you about something. Why do you look so worried when you come back?" In the morning, the village chief sent people to notify people door to door, asking the head of the family to go to the village chief's house to talk about the matter. , Old Man Han hurried over and came back with a frown on his face.

"Hey, let's go back to the house and talk. Call everyone in. It's something that concerns our family. Come in and listen and think of some ideas. These days are getting more and more sad."

Everyone arrived at the main house. Old Man Han saw that everyone had arrived, and then told them the reason why the village chief came to them. It turned out that there was an official notice from above, saying that this year's tax would be increased by 20%. Originally, they were farmers. It's not easy. The Han family is pretty good. They have several acres of land. They don't have to go to the landlord's house to rent it, and they don't have to pay rent, which makes their life easier. But even so, in addition to paying taxes, there is only enough food for the family. Now there is a 20% tax added. With so many people in the family, the food is definitely not enough. It is conceivable that the life of the family must be more difficult.

"Why? We are going to raise taxes so that we, the farmers who rely on farming for a living, can't live, and will we not be able to survive!" Yang asked angrily. The world is getting more and more chaotic now. , the people above did not care about the life and death of the people at all, and blindly suppressed them.

"Why, it's just a few reasons. This time, it's to chase down the rebels. There's going to be a war, so we need to prepare food. Anyway, the government is going to impose it. We, the common people, have no choice but to follow suit. How can we not listen?" No, hey!" Old Man Han smoked his dry cigarette louder as he spoke, as if this could vent his frustration.

Yang didn't say anything after hearing what Old Man Han said. Isn't that what happened in the government? They, ordinary people, can still fight against each other. They can only hope that there will be better masters above who can think more about the people. If this battle ends If we really fight, there will be more difficult days in the future.

After listening to what Old Man Han and Yang said, the brothers of the Han family also had serious expressions on their faces, and the daughters-in-law did not dare to say anything and were worried in their hearts, except of course Su Wenyue, who knew what would happen in the future and had been there for a long time. I started to figure out what to do, but now the world is starting to become chaotic. Seeing that Han Yu also looks worried, I wonder if it’s time to reveal some things to Han Yu.

"Mom and Dad, there is nothing we can do about the world like this. The government wants to increase taxes and we have to pay them. But this year's food will definitely not be enough. I will go to the county to do odd jobs. I can earn some money to support my family. You guys Don't worry too much. "Han Hu deserves to be the boss of the Han family, and he expressed his thoughts first.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, we brothers all have hands and feet and strength. We can support our family by working more. Don't worry too much. Life should be lived as it should be. We all have to live it. It's not the same for everyone. Our family is not the only one who has to pay taxes to live, everyone is the same." The second eldest son of the Han family also expressed his attitude. Speaking of it, the second eldest son of the Han family seemed dull and just worked hard, and he was also optimistic and able to endure hardships. .

On the other hand, Han Lin, the third eldest son of the Han family, who was originally angry because his wife left, is now more depressed. He lowers his head and stares at the ground without knowing what he is looking at, and does not say anything.

Han Yu did not speak in a hurry. Seeing Han Lin like this, a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "It's better for the eldest brother and the second brother to take care of some families. The more chaotic the world is, the more people are sneaking around, and now everyone is probably working with the eldest brother. The second brother generally thinks that it is not easy to find odd jobs, and the money earned from odd jobs is not much. It is better for me to go to the mountains more often, catch some wild animals and sell them to restaurants, so that my family can make more money. "

"It's too dangerous to go into the mountains. It's okay to go there once in a while, but it's not appropriate to go often." Although Yang knew that her son had martial arts skills, she was still worried. There were many wild animals in the mountains. If she ran into that bear What to do with the blind man and the big insect?

"Mom, you don't know what the fourth brother is capable of. What could be wrong with such a capable person entering the mountains? Moreover, the fourth daughter-in-law is so rich and expensive, it is not easy to support her. The fourth brother must work harder." Han Lin suddenly said I cried out, thinking that his mother always scolded him for being useless and praised the fourth child for his ability. Since he had the ability, let him see it. He didn't feel guilty at all for saying such things.

When Xiao Xi heard what Han Lin said, she immediately refuted it: "Don't talk nonsense. My lady has not burdened the family. When will you use an extra penny from the public for food, accommodation and expenses? My uncle will have more money." "You have the ability, the mountains are also dangerous places, so you can never be too careful."

"Xiao Xi, shut up. When will it be your turn to speak about family matters? Your father-in-law and mother-in-law will naturally tell what kind of person you are and ask you to talk too much." Seeing that Xiao Xi had finished speaking, Su Wenyue scolded her. One sentence.

Originally, Su Wenyue thought that there was work in the Su family that the Han brothers could do, but one was from her husband's family, and the other was from her natal family. If they were involved together, there would be no help from either side, and the eldest brother and the second brother from the Han family were not good either. Just pay it off, they are all honest and willing people, and they will not look for trouble. Only Han Lin, if he really gets the Su family, he will cause trouble for his father and brother. It would not be good to leave Han Lin alone. Although her mother-in-law always dislikes seeing Han Lin, she is her biological son. She would have objections if she treated her mother-in-law differently, so after thinking about it, Su Wenyue still did not say this.

"Third, don't talk nonsense. The fourth's daughter-in-law has the same food and clothing expenses as the rest of the family, no more, no less. What do you, a grown man, do to others? Besides, why does the fourth have to go hunting in the mountains to feed everyone? What do you do for food! We are all members of the Han family, and no one has more responsibilities than the other. You will say these things, why not work more? You are so old, and you still look like you are idle, and you are lazy all day long. , it’s embarrassing for me to say that you are from the Han family.”

Han Hu said with hatred, after all, he is the eldest brother and has a strong sense of responsibility in his heart. He scolded Han Lin for the benefit of his younger brother. It was a pity that Han Lin didn't appreciate it, but he didn't say anything anymore. As the saying goes, an eldest brother is like a father. What brother said still has some weight, Han Lin has to listen.

"People from the Han family, come out! Are you bullying the daughter of my old Wang family? Do you think our old Wang family has no one? Come out here. I, Wang Chenglin, must seek justice for my sister today, otherwise this matter will never end!"

Wang Chenglin shouted at the top of his lungs outside the yard. Not only the Han family sitting in the house, but also the neighbors in the countryside near the Han family heard it and ran out to watch the fun.
