Chapter 30 The Lion's Big Opening

"There is a wild boar in this trap, it's not too big, even if it's one, two or five dollars.

It's only early summer now, and the big worm might still be in the mountains, that is to say, for at least two or three months, my trap will be in vain.

There are still three children in my family to support, so it won't be possible to cut off the income.

There will be beasts falling into the trap every three or four days, and the compromise will be counted as one tael of silver.

One month is eight taels of silver, even if it is two and a half months, it is 20 taels of silver.

As long as Mrs. Wang takes out the 21 taels, the matter will be over. "

Her Su Mo's things are so coveted, she won't be surnamed Su if she doesn't let Mrs. Wang's family lose their skins.

Everyone in the room was shocked.

More than 20 taels of silver, thanks to the export that Su said?
Just in Luoshan Village, how many houses can save 20 taels of silver?
Wang Pozi immediately wanted to yell, but Wang Tongsheng stopped her with his eyes, so she lowered her head unwillingly.

The patriarch glanced at Su Mo's figure in displeasure:

"Su Clan, everyone is a member of Luoshan Village, and we usually see each other when we look up.

It's too much for you to ask for 21 taels! "

The other clan elders of the Wang clan also responded one after another:
"That is, you have to forgive others and forgive others. Mrs. Wang already knows her mistake and is willing to make an apology. Don't ask the lion to open his mouth!"

"Who in the world does not make mistakes, you are so unreasonable and unforgiving, if you make a mistake in the future, how can you feel good when others treat you like this?"

Su Mo didn't back down at all, she raised her palm-sized face, and said the most cruel words with the most pitiful appearance.

"Clan elders, are you joking again?
Since I'm reasonable, why should I give in? She did something wrong, shouldn't she bear the consequences?
If I forgive her for a moment and let the word out, wouldn't everyone be able to step on our orphans and widows in the future?
I still say the same thing, the only way of life left and right is cut off, if you don't want to, I will lead the three children to the Yamen..."

After talking about this point, the patriarch didn't dare to say any more, so he had to secretly go overboard in the gutter, and he must not underestimate the weak-looking woman in the future.

21 Two or five dollars, where could Mrs. Wang get it out? She cried and made noises. In the end, Wang Tongsheng threatened to divorce his wife, so he reluctantly went to the bedroom to take out a wooden box.

"Master, this is all our belongings..."

She wanted to cry without tears and opened the box, and there were some pieces of silver in it, as well as house deeds and land deeds.

The fields near Luoshan Village can't grow crops, but it doesn't mean that there is no owner, it's just that they are all deserted. The county magistrate reported it, and after the court heard the news, the tax was exempted for these fields.

The total amount of silver is only ten taels, Wang Tongsheng frowned: "Why is it so little?"

Listening to Wang Tongsheng's questioning, Mrs. Wang felt sullen in her chest, unable to move up or down.

"Which paper, inkstone, pen and ink do you study without spending money?
I also get money from me for drinking tea with friends in the academy on weekdays, and the whole family has to spend money everywhere for food, drink and clothing.

If Yingying and I were not able to do some embroidery work, as well as the subsidies from our relatives and my natal family, we would not even have ten taels of silver. "

What's more, Wang Tongsheng felt that the yard was dilapidated not long ago, so he asked Mrs. Wang to renovate it, and spent a lot of money inside and out.

Wang Tongsheng pulled his face and stopped talking.

Su Mo glanced at the box from the corner of her eye, and when she saw the title deed, her heart moved.

It is also necessary to buy fields from left to right, so it is better to take these fields from Mrs. Wang, so as to gain a good reputation.

Thinking of this, she coughed lightly, and the clan elders immediately turned their eyes away, for fear that she would make trouble again.

It had been rumored in the village before that the widows of the Gu family could act as demons, but they still didn't believe it. It was enough that the Su family's reputation was inexplicable, and they didn't take it seriously.

Now I feel that flies do not bite seamless eggs, and there is a certain basis for those words to be spread.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su said: "Since the money is not enough, it is also possible to use the fields to make up."

Everyone was stunned, and the patriarch was a little surprised: "Master Su, these fields can't grow crops, are you sure you want it?"

Su Mo pretended not to bear it, and said, "Then what should I do?
You can't really let Mrs. Wang's family drink the northwest wind! "

After hearing this, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

In retrospect, they were biased.

The Wang family cut off the livelihood of the family of four, so they only gave two taels of silver. It is understandable that the Su family would say that.

Then when it came to Wuliang, the person Su didn't open his mouth, but Mrs. Wang was very unwilling, and turned black and white when she opened her mouth and closed her mouth.

The clay figurine is still a bit angry, so it is understandable that the Su family would speak loudly like a lion.

The patriarch heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Su Mo with a much kinder look.

"If you want, then do as you say.

Our Wang family does not take advantage of orphans and widowed mothers. If there is nothing to grow in this land, we will use [-]% of the market to convert the silver.

The Wang family has fifteen acres of land, how do you think of a neutral method? "

In the first year of Yuan Yong, the imperial court ordered the registration of population and the division of fields.

At the beginning, there was no village here, but only because the Chen and Wang clans were here, there was Luoshan Village.

Therefore, the people in the village divided a lot of fields, according to the number of people, each person can be divided into two acres of land.

Wang Tongsheng was a young man at the time. In addition to his parents and elder brother Wang Dafu, there were also grandparents and two younger brothers who were on medication, so they shared a lot of land.

In the spring of the following year, none of the four survived, so Wang Tongsheng's parents sold some of the land, leaving exactly fifteen acres.

After all, this is a small county town, and the price of goods is not high. One mu of good land is worth two taels of silver, calculated at 15%, and fifteen mu is only [-] taels.

Su Mo broke his mouth: "I want all the fields, and I will make up for it after seeing how much money is missing."

Calculated now, Mrs. Wang only paid six taels of silver.

Feeling relieved for no reason, Wang Tongsheng handed over the money and the land deed, wishing that the Su family would take the things and leave.

The elders of the Wang clan looked at Su clan gradually with kind eyes, their old faces were a little hot.

It's a shame to be so old, yet to maliciously speculate about a weak woman who was pushed into a hurry by them.

The matter has been agreed, and Su Mo and Mrs. Wang, under the witness of the elders of the Wang clan, promised to write off the matter.

Gu Jinnian had already slipped out early.

Su Mo stuffed Tian Qi and Sui Yin into his arms, glanced at Wang's courtyard from the corner of his eye, and walked out calmly.

The two turned around and walked side by side on the road.

Most of the Wang family lived at the head of the village, the Chen family also lived at the end of the village, and the village chief's house was in the middle of the village, that is, by the well.

Su Mo looked at the road, and after passing the well, he said, "Tell me, what do you think of my actions tonight?"

When Gu Jinnian was asked a question suddenly, he frowned slightly and was a step behind Su Mo.

He hurriedly followed, his brain was running fast, and he blurted out the draft he had already typed.

"Procrastinated.

The members of the Wang family want to pursue official careers and are concerned about their reputation, while the members of the Wang family want to gain fame, so they naturally have to protect the Wang family.

That being the case, if you directly report to the officials, they must not dare to have any objections, and obediently hand over the money.

And since they were willing to give money, why did they want that field?

There are plenty of people in the left and right Wang family to subsidize money, but those fields cannot grow crops, and it is a waste to ask for them. "
