Chapter 38

After Jiang Dafu notified the first family, he was confident that the next few families were going well, and Jiang Dayin's side was the same, while Jiang Dahe's side was the opposite of these two sons.

Unfavorable start, he got stuck at the first one, failed once, failed twice, and several times in a row, Jiang Dahe lost confidence even more, and Li Shumei, who was retreating, noticed it.

"Dahe, you said that you are a village head anyway, why are you so helpless?" Li Shumei looked at the old man's shrunken appearance, and complained a lot.

Being scolded by his wife, he didn't speak, only sighed.

Li Shumei shook her head, and hurried to the next one. This time she went out in person, and she still didn't believe that these old stubborn people could be dealt with.

"Jin Zhi, I'm Shumei." Li Shumei knocked on the door of Luo Jinzhi's house and shouted inside.

When Luo Jinzhi heard the sound, he quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand and came out to meet him.

"This is you?" Luo Jinzhi opened the door, glanced at Li Shumei who was at the door, and then glanced at Jiang Dahe behind her, who looked like a discouraged man, wondering what the two were doing!
"In this way, Jin Zhi, Li Zheng said that he will no longer pay half the tax this year, do you know?" Li Shumei spoke slowly, explaining why.

When Luo Jinzhi heard this, her complexion changed. During this time, she and the man in the family were worrying about it. There are two children in the family, and the mother-in-law and five people. It's not easy, this year I have paid full tax, and all the food and animals in their family can add up to enough, but it's just like this, life can't be passed...

"Oh, don't worry, our family will definitely find a way to get it all together and hand it in." After Luo Jinzhi finished speaking, he sighed and wanted to close the door and go back to the house.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Shumei quickly pressed against the door:
"Jinzhi, it's like this, Qingcao in our village bought some wasteland and plans to hire people to open up the wasteland, and we will pay 150 renminbi for an acre of land.

You see, it’s not easy for the people in the village right now. If you think about entrusting it to outsiders, it’s better to entrust it to your own people in the village. Therefore, my old man and I will come over and tell you that if you think it’s feasible, you can bring a hoe tomorrow to pick it up. One mu of wasteland, 150 Wen is not a lot, but how much food you have to buy to get this money, you discuss it with your man, I will go to the next one to inform. "

After Li Shumei finished speaking, she pretended to be in a hurry and turned around to leave. Luo Jinzhi looked at the direction Li Shumei left and fell into deep thought.

The next family, Li Shumei, also said the same thing. She didn't want to explore if she disagreed. Anyway, if you want to live a good life, you don't need to say much. If you are stubborn, it's useless to say more, you have to wait until the difficulties only when turning.

After everyone in the village had informed, Jiang Dahe and his sons sat around the square table in the house.

Jiang Dafu and Jiang Dayin looked at their father's frustrated appearance and glanced at each other, but they both agreed silently.

Li Shumei glanced at the old man amusedly, and asked:
"How about you over there, what did they say?"

"Mother, it's going well. Except for Mao Mao's family who can't help it, the other families can figure it out."

Hairy?Li Shumei recalled it in her mind and remembered.

After the grandfather of that boy passed away, he became an orphan. He looked about 12 years old. These days, he also survived by relying on grasshopper roots. It's over, the child is also suffering, she quietly sent food, but this child, like Liu Qingcao, can't survive at a young age, and the money saved by my family has become less and less over the years, and it is not as rich as in previous years , she had no choice but to leave it alone.

"Okay, your father has also notified you in place, that is, the few houses next to us didn't want to talk about life and death, just opened their mouths, and closed the door before they finished speaking.

You take the time to make another trip later, and say that the higher-ups will come to collect taxes in a few days, let them get ready, and then you can take the opportunity to mention the matter of land reclamation. " Li Shumei rubbed the center of her eyebrows, waved her hands with a headache, and let the two sons go.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law had a headache, Jiang Dahe hurriedly called her to rub her temples, but he was too guilty to say anything, so he sat aside and waited.

Li Shumei's eldest son Chunhua's daughter-in-law rubbed her temples for a while, and when she felt better, she let her second daughter-in-law go to work.

As soon as the sophomore daughter-in-law left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. Jiang Dahe looked around with evasive eyes, and Li Shumei's head started to hurt again.

She didn't want this wimpy old man for a day. From the time he realized that he was married and had children, and now he has grandchildren, he still looked timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

When things are not being done, she is very bullish, and when she is going to implement them, she dare not even take a step outside the house. Over the years, she, Li Shumei, pointed her nose and scolded her several times, but nothing changed.

If it wasn't for the natural disasters and man-made disasters back then, my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't give up on me despite all the hardships, or I would have let him leave early with a letter of divorce.

"Jiang Dahe, if you don't want to be the village chief, you should quit. Most people in the village are juniors who dare to think and do things. You are not young, so don't occupy the latrine."

Li Shumei rubbed her temples, and spoke without showing any emotion. When Jiang Dahe heard that he was going to step aside, he hesitated for a long time but couldn't say a word.

Li Shumei is not used to him:
"You think I don't know what's going on in your heart, I advise you, since you're doing nothing in this position, you should withdraw quickly, lest the juniors will become sensible in the future, and the skin on your face won't be able to hang on."

"Here, am I doing something now..."

"Heh, we all know who did it, so don't put gold on your own face.

Let me ask you, Jiang Li's family, why did you get kicked out without saying a word?
What the family said is good, you have to clarify the stakes, what you say you say, for the village to be full of human touch, so that there will be more villagers next year, a few words are not on point, just to save your face, no point Actually, who listens to you, you don't know what Shihe Village is like! ? "

Li Shumei became more and more angry after speaking, and her voice became louder and louder. Jiang Dahe bowed his head and didn't dare to say a word. , and dare not go out to persuade.

Liu Qingcao didn't know what happened to Jiang Dahe's family, and she still walked in the wasteland at the end of the village on her own.

There are [-] acres of land connected to each other. Compared with the suitable one, this piece has a lot less stone and gravel, and the efforts to open up wasteland are not so great. The open up wasteland can grow crops even after being fertilized.

This is the process of fattening the earth, she reckons it will not be easy...

The old man Niu fell behind, looking at this large piece of wasteland, lost in thought, he still didn't understand what Liu Qingcao was planning to do by buying this large piece of wasteland and hiring people to open up the wasteland at a high price.

This newly reclaimed land doesn't have much harvest, so it's better to buy a few acres of fertile land to plant.

Liu Qingcao didn't know what old man Niu was thinking. She walked all the way and planned the composting and crop division of the [-] acres of wasteland.

The seeds she bought this year will not be enough if they are not eaten or sold this season.

And the rest of the land can't always be empty or plant vegetables...

Liu Qingcao: No, I have to go to Zhang Youliang, the shopkeeper of the seed shop, and ask if there are any other novelties, and she doesn't want to grow those ordinary things except rice and wheat.

There are not many vegetables in winter, and if they want to sell them at a good price, they have to be dried. She can't do it alone, so she has to spend a lot of money to build a factory shed.

Liu Qingcao lamented: It’s hard, I only have forty taels of silver in my hand now, and I will get rid of more than a dozen taels after the wasteland is opened up...

Well, I can't get anything done with this little money!
