Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 165 Make it clear

Since becoming a grandmother, Cheng's temper has been restrained a lot, and no one has forgotten her aggressive appearance back then.

You must know that Cheng Shi was the one who dared to chase the thief by the river with a kitchen knife.

After the Cheng family incident happened, Tang Mi also learned the news from Peng Cui.

"Sister, I'm really sorry about this, my mother-in-law is also... oh..." Peng Cui naturally felt guilty about Tang Mi.

As a daughter-in-law, it's not easy for her to talk about Mrs. Cheng behind Mrs. Cheng's back, but this time Mrs. Cheng did something wrong, so Peng Cui came to apologize.

Seeing Peng Cui like this, Tang Mi smiled and said, "To be honest, I was quite unhappy when Aunt Cheng came to tell me about this, but later Aunt Cheng also said that there was a reason for this, so I understood! Actually This thing will happen sooner or later, even if it's not Aunt Cheng today, maybe Li Zheng will find it in the future!"

"But sister Peng, you also know that I don't really have any skills. I'm just a girl from the countryside, and I don't come from a family. I don't even have an official in my family. How can I help so many people!"

"That's all I can do!"

Peng Cui nodded again and again, "You are right!"

"Before, an aunt named Tao Hong also came to my house and asked my family to buy them!" When Tang Mi said this, Peng Cui's frightened face changed.

She and her mother-in-law Cheng really didn't know that Tao Hong would come to the Tang family.

"My family has a little money now, so it's okay to buy a few people, but you also know that country people depend on the sky for their food, and no one knows what the next year will be like. What if there is a severe drought? What if there is a plague of locusts!" Tang Mi continued Said, "So I told Aunt Taohong that if you want to sell yourself to my Tang family, it's not impossible, but you have to sign a death contract!"

"In a few years, when my Tang family has no money and has to sell people, I will definitely sell them first! This one can be regarded as a master and servant, and give them a good time. Second, it can be regarded as a servant who helped us. Give me a hand!"

This is easy to say, but Peng Cui also knows that the so-called death contract means that this good citizen will become a lowly citizen for the rest of his life.

If Aunt Taohong really sold herself to the Tang family, her son would not be able to take the imperial examination, and if her son did not leave his lowly status, her grandchildren would not be able to take the imperial examination.

Ordinary people, who wants to be a lowly person?

If it's just cheap, forget it.

But the so-called death contract can control their life and death.

Even if the Tang family beat them to death in the future, these people can only be grateful to Dade, and cannot say anything against the master's family!
Aunt Taohong's family must want to sell the contract of living, and they also want to climb the high branches of the Tang family. I heard that Aunt Taohong's daughter wants to marry Tang Liang.

The Tang family was not confused, so naturally they did not agree to this marriage.

"You did the right thing!" Peng Cui thought for a while, then replied, "I will help you spread the word about this!"

"Otherwise, this cat and dog will come to your house to beg to buy them. Sister Xia He is pregnant now, how can she be troubled by these people!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Mi smiled and said, "Then thank you, Sister Peng!"

"When you go back later, tell the dog that Xiaoshu asked him to come over early tomorrow. When Uncle Xia came yesterday, he brought some books for Xiaoshu!"

When old man Xia came to visit Xia He, he bought a few books for Tang Shu in the town.

This cost old man Xia a lot of coffin money, but old man Xia was very happy.

He is kind to the Tang family, and the Jiang family and Tang Dashi will definitely be kind to Xia He. The two families are mutual!
"Okay!" Seeing what Tang Mi said, Peng Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very afraid that if her mother-in-law and father-in-law did something wrong this time, the friendship between the two families would completely fade away, so she fell in Luo's heart.

Fortunately, the Tang family didn't care too much about them this time, so Peng Cui felt relieved.

Peng Cui was not familiar with the bad-mouthed women in the village, but Zhou Lian was in—

Since giving birth to her daughter, Zhou Lian rarely went out throughout the winter.It's not because her temperament changed drastically after giving birth, but because she couldn't leave at all.

Now that she was finally given the chance to go out and gossip, Zhou Lian went out with a smile after listening to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's orders.

Because of the big suona Zhou Lian, the village soon knew that if they wanted to sell themselves to the Tang family, there were still so many rules.

There are many poor families in Xiahe Village, and many people are somewhat envious when they see that the Che family sells themselves to the Tang family, can still eat and drink, and even live in big brick houses.

Later, some people thought, anyway, they are in the same village as the Tang family, so they would not refuse to save them, so why don't they follow the example of the Che family, and after they get through this period, ask the Tang family to let them go for the sake of the same village? leave.

Maybe you can eat and drink for free all winter!

In private, many people commented that the Tang family was too mean.

Zhou Lian would retort when she heard this, "Then if you want to sell yourself, you can go to the county. I heard people say that the men who buy these teeth are sent to mines. As for the girls... most of them are sent to mines. Those low places!"

"Who knows how many years this will live?"

"If I'm really desperate, I'd rather sell it to the Tang family, at least there will be no accident for the time being!"

"Then sell yourself!" someone retorted.

Zhou Lian sneered, "I have my father-in-law and mother-in-law to protect me, my husband and daughter, why should I sell myself? But you, who have hands and feet, will not starve to death when you go up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it! You just want to be a servant , lazybones!"

The man's eyes were rounded by Zhou Lian angrily.

Zhou Lian, such a lazy woman, dares to call him lazy!

But he really didn't dare to do anything. Although Zhou Lian was not very good, she had sharp eyes. Not only did she find a good wife, but she also found a good husband.

Even if Zhou Lian gave birth to a daughter, the Li family would not be displeased at all.

Last time he saw Zhou Lian's husband go to Tang's house to buy fish, saying that it was to nourish Zhou Lian's body and give milk to feed his daughter.

Except Zhou Lian would lose in the quarrel in front of Cheng Shi, she was really messing around outside and was invincible.

She didn't deliberately release the news, because most people would come to her to test out the news, so the news about the Tang family spread quickly.

Now, no one dared to really think about selling themselves into slavery.

The Tang family became quiet.

The Che family is very diligent. Now not only the yard is always clean, but Che Wu and Che Dachun often accompany Tang Dashi to the mountains to see how many chickens, ducks and geese they will raise next year.

A few days before New Year's Eve, Hu Sanmu and the Rong family visited the Tang family.

"I've made a lot of money this year, and I'm thinking about buying another shop in the town to do business!" Hu Sanmu said to Tang Dashi, "I remember Miss Mi said before that she wanted to buy a shop in the town. Now is a great opportunity!"

"The shopkeeper Xu who used to be a teahouse is going to the county, and his shop is going to be sold now!"

"Is it the tea house on East Street?" Tang Dashi asked, "Xu Ji Tea House?"
