Chapter 17
After Mu Hai let go, Mu Shan immediately changed the family tree.

After the pen was written, Mu Yao's identity changed from the second son of Mu Hai to the eldest grandson of Mu Cang.

Moreover, for some reason, before the ancestral hall of Bingming ancestor was opened, both parties spread the news to the whole village.

It also means that there is almost nothing to change about this matter.

No matter what, Mu Yao would never have thought that he had already changed his father at this time.

For the time being, he didn't drink the dog's blood, but he felt that his life was getting more and more exciting.

Xixia Village is only eight miles away from Luo'an Town, which is not too far away, but walking with feet and pushing a cart, it was already an hour later when we arrived at the town.

"Here we are, I'll open the door." Su Dai spoke first.

"Sister-in-law, is this the yard you rented?" Zhao Jia was very envious, "The location is really good, it just falls in the middle, so you can do everything conveniently."

Su Dai smiled without saying a word.

"It's not rent, it's your sister-in-law's dowry," Mu Yao explained, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have the confidence to separate."

"Ah, this..."

The three of them stared wide-eyed, turned their heads at the same time, and looked at Su Dai with shock in their eyes.

After a while, Li Nian sighed, "Brother Yao, you are really lucky to be able to marry a sister-in-law!"

Such a good location costs at least 80 taels of silver.

Mu Yao didn't refute, and looked at Su Dai with the corner of his mouth curled up, his eyes were gentle and affectionate.

Su Dai didn't pay attention to the rear. The moment the lock was unlocked, the system's prompt came out again:
[Achievement: The beginning of a better life, reward, family seat*2, can be bound, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded. 】

"It's interesting," Su Dai was speechless, savoring the information given by the system carefully, "So, a good life means staying away from the heroine and avoiding being cannon fodder, I understand!"

Although she was very curious about the family seats mentioned above, she also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so she only paused for a moment, then opened the door as if nothing had happened, and led Nan Zai in.

Mu Yao followed closely behind, took two steps and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you don't need to pull the brick in, I don't need it here, you can use it."

"Here," Li Nian couldn't help looking around the yard, "does sister-in-law agree?"

There are more than 300 bricks, worth more than 600 Wen, which is more than Brother Yao's division.

Just very guilty.

"You think your sister-in-law cares about these rags?" Mu Yao gave Li Nian a serious look, "She just doesn't want the old house to take advantage of it!"

"Then, did you really accept it?"

"Well, you have already opened the door, put away the bricks and come over to eat quickly, don't wait for me to call someone."

"Uh-huh!"

Waving their hands hastily, Li Nian and the three happily pushed the brick away.

After Mu Yao entered, Su Dai looked back and found him alone, "Where are they?"

"Going back to my own home, I will come over for dinner later."

"Daddy, who are those uncles?"

Nan Zai asked Su Dai's doubts.

She also wanted to know the identities of the three.

"They are Zhao Jia, Li Nian, and Ding Yi." Although Mu Yao answered his son, he looked at his wife. "We met six years ago when we served in the army. They are all orphans and... hooligans."

After a pause, Mu Yao took a sneak peek at the two people's reactions, and then continued to explain after realizing that there was no rejection or disdain as imagined, "They are refugees, with no household registration, no land, and no relatives. Most people don't ask them to work. Make a living by unconventional means."

"Such as serving in place of someone else?"

"That's right, they relied on this for their main income back then. Later, when they became close friends, I brought them into the mountains."

"What about secondary income?"

Mu Yao couldn't say anything, he hesitated for a while before mumbled, "That's right, black and white."

After finishing speaking, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to face his wife and children's eyes.

"Daddy, what do you mean black eat black?"

Nan Zai stared with black eyes, very curious.

Mu Yao was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked his wife for help.

Su Dai was also quite curious about this matter, and instead urged her together, "Tell me, why are you cheating on black tricks?"

If it is true that murder, arson, stealing and looting...

Mu Yao was very sensitive to his wife's strangeness, and he carefully organized his words before opening his mouth, "The population of our Luo'an town is about [-], of which, [-]% are ordinary peasant households, [-]% are country gentry and landlords, and the rest are complicated. .

In addition to merchants, there are also artisan households, humble households, and refugees without household registration.

Whether it is a craftsman or a servant, others will look down on them, but they will not be too defensive, because they have a way to live and a place to live.

But refugees are different. They have no house, no land, and no fixed source of income. Even if they just want to survive, they will use all means. "

Seeing that Su Dai listened seriously, she pursed her lips, and Mu Yao continued to explain, "The three of Zhao Jia and the others are refugees, like him, there are still about [-] people in Luo'an Town, and the younger ones are fine, and their strength hasn't grown up yet. , can’t make trouble, but the older ones form cliques, and they only pick out those who are alone, and they basically do everything except not daring to kill people.”

"But that's the case," Su Dai was a little confused, "Zhao Jia and the others are not afraid of being retaliated? And these gangsters, how come no one takes care of them?"

"The local ruffian bosses in Luo'an Town have a relationship with Zhao Jia and the three of them. Revenge is what they do. At most, they will beat them up. They won't kill anyone. Moreover, they have a sense of propriety, and they only dare to take what they can't starve to death.

As for why no one cares, because these people are still a bit smart, they won't do things to the extreme, and they don't provoke people they can't afford. "

"Bullying the weak and fearing the hard?"

Mu Yao choked, and immediately agreed with constipated expression, "You can say that too!"

"There is another question," Su Dai continued to ask after thinking carefully, "Is it because the government doesn't allow entry or they don't want to?"

"There are two reasons.

If the government wants to arrange them, in order to prevent gathering and causing trouble, they can only disperse people into each village, but this kind of stabbing, as long as the village is not a fool, it will not accept it.

Conversely, after entering the household, you have to pay taxes and serve in the military. For a bachelor like Zhao Jia, who can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, it is really a disadvantage, and it is normal if he does not want to. "

After listening, Su Dai couldn't help feeling, "Sure enough, the most indispensable thing in the world is smart people, and no one is a fool."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Mu Yao.

The one who can analyze these things clearly and logically should not be underestimated.

"Don't look at me like that," Mu Yao, who felt Su Dai's gaze, couldn't help shaking his arms, "Luo'an Town is only this big, and it's not a secret."

"Really!"

Saying this noncommittal, Su Dai continued to walk forward.

After putting everything in order, he hesitated to ask the last question, "Isn't it okay for them to dawdle like this?"

"Yes." When this topic was mentioned, Mu Yao's expression became heavy, "In the end, there are only a few ways out. Those who are capable find a way to enter the household, and then buy a house or enlist in the army. Those who are incapable will either sell themselves. Or flee to the mountain nest and become a bandit."
