Fierce wife and sister-in-law

Tian Rong thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Cui, what do you think of the upcoming war? Will the court increase taxes this year?"

Doctor Cui looked at Tian Rong and shook his head in his heart after hearing her words.

He had long noticed that the woman in front of him was very unusual, but he didn't expect that she was so extraordinary.

How could a village girl who had lived in the mountains ask such a question?

I am afraid that I will never think about such a national event in my lifetime.

"Xiulian, please send this medicine to Lao Wangtou first, and don't forget to tell him how to take it."

"Oh," Xiulian stood up and looked at Tian Rong with a smile, "Sisters, you guys talk, I will deliver the medicine."

Tian Rong smiled and nodded, watching Sister-in-law Xiulian walk out with the herbs.

Obviously, Dr. Cui sent his wife away deliberately.

"Do you plan to continue doing business in the town?" Doctor Cui asked this question because Tian Rong asked about taxes.

"Ha... I'm afraid I won't be able to do business anymore,"

Tian Rong also smiled helplessly. After all, she really didn't have this experience, and she didn't have so much money to open a grocery store.

Originally, I wanted to wait for my eldest brother to come out and let him take me with him, but now it seems that God's fate is not as good as man's.

"What I mean is, will the court collect more food from the people this year?"

"Well, it's hard to say. It depends on how the battle goes. I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

At this point, Dr. Cui did not continue. Tian Rong also understood, stood up and said with a smile,

"I understand, thank you. My sister-in-law is not at home, so I will leave first."

Seeing that Tian Rong was about to leave, Dr. Cui quickly stood up and asked when he was sending people to the yard. "Are you planning to stock up on food?"

When Tian Rong looked back, she didn't intend to hide it from Dr. Cui, even though Dr. Cui was very cautious.

"I may not be able to store food by myself. I need to discuss this matter with Uncle Li Zheng."

Originally, he wanted to remind Tian Rong, but Tian Rong's words immediately shocked Dr. Cui, and he couldn't help but give her a big female finger in his heart.

"Tian Rong, Xizhu is not at home. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, just ask."

Dr. Cui's words were not perfunctory, Tian Rong could tell, but she also clearly felt that Dr. Cui seemed to avoid anyone disturbing him.

"Yes," Tian Rong nodded, turned and left.

But instead of heading home, she headed directly towards Li Zheng's house.

"Hey, isn't this the second daughter-in-law of the Li family? Is something wrong with you?"

Mrs. Li Zheng, who was about to go out for a walk after dinner, saw Tian Rong and shouted enthusiastically. Her man said that Tian Rong was a powerful woman, so naturally Mrs. Li Zheng also looked up to her.

"Is Uncle Li Zheng here?"

"Oh, yes, yes."

While the woman agreed, she turned her head and shouted loudly into the room, "The boss, the boss, someone is here."

Mrs. Li Zheng's voice was also loud, making Tian Rong's ears buzz.

After a while, someone saw the dark door being pushed open from the inside, "Shout, shout, I told you to take a rest, you have such a loud voice..."

Lord Li Zheng lowered his head and was complaining to himself, but when he looked up, he saw Tian Rong stunned.

"Uncle Li Zheng, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"Oh, it's you, come on, come on, come sit in the room,"

Looking back, he looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Hurry up and let Xizhu's wife into the house and pour some water. What are you looking at? Are you stupid?"

"Oh, okay, okay, wife Xizhu, come in quickly, come in." In this way, Tian Rong stepped into the threshold of the Li Zheng family for the first time after coming to this world.

After all, it is Mr. Satsuma. Although the house is not newly built, more than half of it is made of stone, which is rare in Xuri Village.

Especially the cabinets, tables and various furnishings in the house are much fuller than the empty houses of the villagers.

"Drink water,"

Mrs. Li Zheng poured a cup of hot water for Tian Rong in front of the square table. She looked at her husband and said, "I won't interrupt you while you talk. I had too much for dinner. I'm going out for a walk."

Master Li Zheng looked at his knowledgeable wife and nodded. Tian Rong quickly stood up and watched Mrs. Li Zheng go out before sitting down again.

"I'd better call you Tian Rong." Mr. Li Zheng looked at Tian Rong and was not polite?

"You suddenly came to my house today, there must be something going on, right? Is it something about Xi Zhu?"

When talking about the conscription, Lord Satsuma also scolded his father behind his back.

His eldest son was only 18 or 19 years old, and his marriage had already been decided, so he was taken away. Even though he was upright, he didn't let his eldest son stay.

He couldn't let his youngest son go, could he?

"Oh, it's not about Xi Zhu. It's just something that suddenly occurred to me. After much thought, I still think it would be better to discuss it with Uncle Li Zheng."

"Oh?"

If it wasn't her man's business, Master Li Zheng wouldn't have guessed what Tian Rong was going to do.

"Uncle Li Zheng, if what I say is wrong, you don't have to take it to heart."

Tian Rong was polite at first, and then said,

"I heard people say that once a war breaks out, the food supply of the people will be doubled after the autumn. If this is true, then we really won't be able to survive."

"Ugh!"

After listening to Tian Rong's words, Master Li Zheng also sighed heavily.

"How can we, the common people, have the final say on the issue of additional grain levies? What can we do if we can't survive?"

"Uncle Li Zheng, look, if, I mean, if the court really wants to collect twice as much grain, the people in our village will all starve."

Lord Rizheng nodded, but also shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.

"We are doing better, but the elderly and children may not be able to survive."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Li Zheng shook his head more and more at this time, but he looked very powerless, which made Tian Rong a little unhappy.

He is clearly the leader of Xuri Village, but when a disaster strikes, he will just shake his head and say there is nothing he can do?

Once he felt unhappiness in his heart, Tian Rong's irritable temper became somewhat uncontrollable.

"Uncle Li Zheng, I think we need to prepare for a rainy day."

"What's the plan?" Li Zheng was confused by Tian Rong's words for a moment.

"Oh, what I mean is, no matter whether this thing is true or not, we just need to be adequately prepared. Even if it comes true, we will not be passive."

"Tian Rong, did you come up with some good idea to come to me today?"

Lord Satsuma was finally smart this time. Just now he lowered his head and sighed with a listless look on his face, but now his eyes were shining.

Without concealing the hope in his heart, he looked at Tian Rong hurriedly.

"It may be a little difficult to stock up on food. There are a lot of things, and there will definitely be nothing left after excluding the confiscated items."

"that is,"

Li Zheng agreed, but still looked at Tian Rong closely, wanting to hear what she would say next.
