Chapter 91 Marrying a wife counts

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Guan, for your advice." Boss Zeng held the tied man's hand and watched them go away.

"Boss of the Zeng family." Li Zheng came over in a donkey cart, with four gangsters tied up behind the cart. "We've caught him, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have kept the money." He stepped forward and asked The boss took back his cloth bag.

After a brief pause, he took out five cents from it and stuffed it into Boss Zeng's hand.

"No, no, no." Boss Zeng, who had been watching the crowd leave, finally came to his senses and immediately refused the five coins. "This is what I should do. You have already given me money every month, and I can't accept this."

"Take it." Li Zheng forced it into his hand, "This is the money that should be given to you. Just don't think it's too little."

Boss Zeng is not very good at talking. He holds the money in his hand and wants to say something cheap and flattering, but he doesn't know what to say.

At this moment, he was already pulling up the robbers' hair to see what they were doing.

"Boss of the Zeng family, put him on the back of the donkey cart." Li Zheng ordered, "I can tell at a glance that these people are from Yangmen County.

During this period, Yangmen County was very strict in arresting these robbers. These people ran around if they could not get any benefits in Yangmen County.

You tie up the person, this is not far from the Yangmen County Government Office, I have to waste more of your time, please accompany me to the Yangmen County Government Office. "

"No matter what the delay is, I will follow you to do things."

Li Zheng laughed twice and gave him the whip to drive the car, "Then please drive the car."

Yang Zheng and others took Luo Sanmu to Luojia Village, Weishan County.

Luo Sanmu was on tenterhooks all the way, fearing that when he arrived at the village and saw the people who had not yet left, the officials in Beishan County would feel uncomfortable.

He didn't know that Meng Changqing had already told Yang Zheng that they would most likely have to go to Luojia Village to pick him up.Meng Changqing also specifically told him not to ask too many questions along the way, and not to say too much when he arrived at Luojia Village.

Jiang Chan was digging on the ground while thinking about Luo Sanmu.

Thinking about where he should be now and whether he has left Yangmen County.

"Brother and sister." Luo Sanmu's sister-in-law brought a bowl of water to her, "I see you don't look good. Drink some water and go to the side to rest."

Jiang Chan walked away while drinking from the bowl, and waited until she reached the ridge of the field before sitting down to rest. Unexpectedly, Wang Lamei came over as soon as she sat down. She talked to Jiang Chan with a smile on her face, "Your third child is going to have great luck! Your family is going to have great luck!" Now that you are prosperous, don’t forget my old neighbor.”

"What kind of luck is this?"

"You don't know yet?" Wang Lamei likes to deal with people, so he is well-informed. "He went out on horseback with the soldiers in the morning."

Luo Shitou, who had been following behind and beating big clods of earth with a wooden stick, was unhappy and wanted to make a fuss, "Dad is riding a horse without me!"

Luo Sanmu was not here, and Jiang Chan was not used to children. Seeing that he was grinning and about to cry, she picked up the clod of earth and aimed it, "You try howling, I'm very accurate, and I can throw it into your mouth."

Luo Shitou immediately shut up.

Jiang Chan asked Wang Lamei again, "Are you sure?"

"Hey, this is not what I saw, it was what people who went to the ground saw later."

Jiang Chan immediately turned back, not wanting to say more to Wang Lamei, "If you don't know whether it's true or not, why do you say it?"

"How could it be false?" Wang Lamei was unconvinced, "If no one saw this kind of thing, how could someone else make it up?"

"What can't be made up?" Jiang Chan put down the empty bowl and went back to work.

"Hey." Wang Lamei tried to stop her, "I know one more thing. It must be true, but you may not know it." "If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't want to say it, just leave."

"You can find a wife for your family." Wang Lamei said happily, "I just heard from the soldier here that as long as there is one more person in the family, you can get an extra share of the homestead, and marrying a wife counts.

Many people are planning to marry a wife. You can also start planning for your family's stone. You don't have to be from Beishan County. If you marry a woman from outside, the homestead will be divided in the same way. Why don't you ask more about it. "

"My Shitou is still young, so you should take care of your child first."

Jiang Chan completely ignored Wang Lamei and walked next to her sister-in-law.

The two of them were digging the ground together, so naturally they had something to say, and they naturally mentioned what Wang Lamei said.

"I've never heard of people planning to get married in the spring. Even if they do, it should be after the autumn harvest." My sister-in-law said, "Spring planting and autumn harvest are both the most tiring times. At this time, it is difficult for the family to find time to get married. It's time to prepare for the wedding, and the reputation is not good.

If you want to marry someone's daughter during these two periods of time, don't you just want her to work for the family? Anyone who understands etiquette will not get married at these two points of time. "

"Although this village has the same ancestors, people are very different from each other." Jiang Chan said, "Many people have the temperament that if they don't take advantage of it, they will suffer.

Just wait and see, someone is designated to want to get married at this time. "

The sister-in-law said, "If a family marries a daughter at this time, it will have a bad reputation. Others will know that the daughter of this family is mean."

Two days later, Jiang Chan returned home carrying farm tools and saw Luo Sanmu who was repairing the shack. She was pleasantly surprised and asked, "You are back. Have you notified me of the news? Did you suffer along the way?"

Luo Sanmu nodded, "The notice has arrived. Uncle and the others have packed their things and are here. I came back first, and there are several soldiers who are escorting the uncle and the others here."

"Wang Lamei is not talking nonsense, you really rode the government's horse back."

"Yes, if it weren't for the horses, it wouldn't have been possible to come and go so fast."

Luo Shitou hugged his father's legs, "Dad, what does it feel like to ride a horse?"

"Stop talking, that horse is really not something ordinary people can ride. My waist is almost broken."

"Then lie down and have a rest." Jiang Chan took away the mending tools in his hand, "Don't mend this shed. It won't rain anyway, so it won't last long."

After waiting for another two days, the remaining people from Luojia Village also arrived. This time, there was no personal greeting from Meng Changqing, only Yang Zheng arranged it.

Yang Zheng simply pointed out to them the location where they would live in the future, and asked them to ask the people who came earlier if they didn't understand anything.

A while passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-April.

It’s time to plant seeds.

Meng Changqing went to the Liangzhou government office a few days in advance to borrow seeds on credit and planned to lend them to the 200 people in the west.

Most people in Luojia Village have no use for these seeds. Although their harvest is not good, they still have the seeds in their hands because of subsidies from Weishan County.

There are only these 200 people. They were refugees before and had nothing on their hands. What they have now are all obtained through work points.

Ordinarily, Meng Changqing thought a lot about them, and they should be grateful.

But in fact, some of these 200 people complained about Meng Changqing. They complained that Meng Changqing was too good to the people in Luojia Village, but always looked down upon them, who had been in Beishan County.
