Rascal Zhao is not dead.

This was something Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't expect.

Should she say that this man has a great destiny, or should she say that the evil man will be infamy for eternity and the King of Hell is unwilling to accept him.

"...You don't know that when the villagers went to dig wild vegetables this morning and found him at the foot of the hillside, there was not a single piece of intact meat on Zhao Lailai's body. He was covered in blood, and even the clothes he was wearing were torn apart by wild wolves. Tattered…”

Li Zheng was talking nonchalantly.

Sister-in-law Zhao, who was listening on the side, turned pale and even dropped the cabbage she was picking on the ground.

"Then how is he now?" Chunmiao picked up the cabbage and handed it to her mother again.

Li Zheng took a sip of the brown sugar tea handed over by Jiang Xiaoxiao and moistened his throat before saying: "This rogue Zhao is considered lucky. He was besieged by so many wild wolves and rolled down the hillside to save his life. When the villagers found him, they saw his nose He was carried back when he was still alive... Now Widow Xu is accompanying her to the town to see the doctor."

"Widow Xu is willing to accompany him to see the doctor?" Chunya on the side asked in surprise.

"You have to be willing even if you don't want to. Such a big thing happened, and Zhao Lailai's own mother came from the neighboring village!" Li Zheng took another sip of brown sugar tea and said, "You don't know, Zhao Lailai's face Several pieces of skin and flesh were bitten off. Widow Xu was frightened to death when she saw what he looked like. Naturally, she was unwilling to follow him. She even hugged her belly and said that she was pregnant with a child and couldn't see the blood. Then Rascal Zhao's mother could not Regardless of this, I just pulled Widow Xu’s hair and went..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Okay, this Widow Xu has met her opponent, and there will be great drama to come.

"I think this scoundrel Zhao has done too many bad things and is getting retribution!" Qiu Lianniang spat, and turned to look at Sister-in-law Zhao who was silent at the side, "Sister-in-law Zhao, you have nothing to do with scoundrel Zhao now. Come on, don’t be so soft-hearted and interfere with this mess in his family.”

Sister-in-law Zhao lowered her head and said nothing.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at it and frowned almost invisible.

Sister-in-law Zhao was probably feeling distressed. After all, she had lived with a man for more than ten years and had children for him. If such a big thing happened, it would be strange not to feel distressed.

But a beast like Rascal Zhao deserves no sympathy at all!

He deserves this outcome!

She must find a way to prevent this kind of thing. Sister-in-law Zhao's life has just improved. She must not help a scum like rogue Zhao out of distress.

"Uncle Li Zheng, Rascal Zhao is so seriously injured. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to cure him. Can his mother afford it?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Zheng shook his head: "Rascal Zhao's mother lives with his eldest brother, so of course his eldest brother is not willing to give him this money. This morning, his mother borrowed money from the village, and the villagers reluctantly scraped together a tael of silver to give him. ...But, with this little money, let alone a cure, it would be good to be able to save his life."

"Hey, I don't think his injury can be cured without a dozen taels of silver." Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed deliberately, then took Chun Ya's hand and said: "Sister Chun Ya, fortunately you have separated from Zhao Rascal, otherwise In order to raise the money, his family will definitely sell you and Sister Chunmiao to Ren Yazi..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao stood up suddenly as if waking up from a dream and said: "How dare he! I have divorced him. He has nothing to do with my family. Chun Miao and Chun Ya are not his daughters." , if he dares to sell my daughter, I will go to the county government to sue him!"

After saying that, she ordered with a fierce face: "Chun Miao Chun Ya, if you see Mrs. Wang come to our house in the future, don't care what she says, close the door of our house tightly and don't let her in! If she dares If you ask for money from our family, blow them out with a broom!"

Mrs. Wang is the biological mother of Chao Lai, who is willing to compete with the old lady of the Li family. "Okay!" Chun Miao and Chun Ya nodded vigorously.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Very good, mother and daughter are both sober now.

When Li Zheng came to Jiang's house this time, in addition to talking about rogue Zhao, he also said that the county government would send people to the village tomorrow to collect taxes and food, so that everyone could make preparations.

This is a big deal. After the autumn harvest every year, the county government will send people to each village to collect grain and poll tax, and personally inspect and accept it, without any falsehood.

After saying that, Li Zheng immediately got up and left. Time was tight, and he had to go door to door to notify, so he couldn't delay.

Knowing that tomorrow is the day to pay taxes, everyone feels a little heavy.

Turning over 15% of the grain is nothing, but it is the poll tax. This year, the tax threshold for children has been raised to six years old, which has really made many already poor families even worse.

In order to give birth to a boy, many families with four or five girls have to pay a head tax of 200 cents per child. This child head tax alone can crush many families.

"Well, if Xiaoxiao hadn't helped our village find water sources and Xiaoxiao's mother taught us how to dig ditches, our village might not even be able to pay the food tax." Some men who came to work in Jiang's family lamented, having experienced the drought in the previous two years. They couldn't even pay the food tax, but this time they expressed their gratitude to the Jiang family and their daughter from the bottom of their hearts.

"It should be." Jiang Wei smiled lightly.

"We should thank you even more." Qiu Lianniang held Jiang Wei's hand heavily, "Just talking about the fact that you asked us to use the kang to dry the rice this time. If you don't think of a way, our rice will be When I collected it, it was also covered up by the rainy weather, so I couldn't sell it at all."

"That's right, Xiaoxiao Niang, you and Xiaoxiao are both great benefactors to our village." Everyone cheered.

Master Zheng, who was quietly arranging people to work aside, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard these words.

Looking for water?

Dig a trench?

He lived in the town before and heard that in some villages around Yong'an Town, a lot of crops died in the fields due to drought. However, only people from one village found the water source and dug ditches to divert the water down the mountain, thus saving the whole village. The crops in the village...it turns out that this great thing was done by the Jiang family and her daughter.

As far as he knew, the Jiang family did not have any land in the village, and the benefits of diverting water to irrigate the fields were not half as good as hers, but her family still racked their brains to think of ways to save the crops for the sake of the villagers. The Jiang family was really A good person with good intentions...

Master Zheng sighed repeatedly in his heart for a while, and even looked at Jiang's mother and daughter with a bit of respect.

It was soon afternoon, and it was almost time for those who came to work at Jiang's house to finish their work and go home.

At this moment, a burst of crying suddenly sounded in the yard of the house closest to the Jiang family.

"Dad, please don't betray me..."

In the yard, a fourteen-year-old girl knelt on the ground, banging her head on the ground, pleading with the man in front of her.

The man in front of him had a cold face and didn't say a word, but the woman next to him had already burst into tears: "The child's father, how about we think of another way? Yanzi is our daughter, are you willing to sell it?" Got her?"
