She became rich after being dressed as a group pet

Chapter 586 Not Just Helping Her

On such a scorching summer afternoon, several people surrounded a child with young teeth and carefully studied her open mouth. The picture was indeed a bit weird.

But Jiang Zhimian's expression was very serious.

She poked Goudan'er's teeth with clean chopsticks.

After carefully checking each one, he put down his chopsticks and told Goudan to shut up.

"Almost all my teeth have been replaced, so I look like eleven or twelve years old." Jiang Zhimian said.

"You can tell if you change your teeth?" Bai Yule was very surprised.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Yes, generally speaking, children start to lose their teeth when they are six years old, and it is basically over when they are eleven or twelve years old. Don’t pretend to be seven or eight years old.”

Hearing this, Bai Yule became even more confused.

If Goudaner is really not lying, why does he grow so small.

"I'm malnourished. I haven't eaten anything, so my growth and development are relatively slow. If I start supplementing now, I should be able to save it." Jiang Zhimian said.

For example, in poor families, it is common for children in their teens to be as old as they are.

Bai Yule felt a little pitiful, "I didn't expect you to be so miserable, don't worry, from now on, I will follow my brother and eat whatever I want, tell me, when you are better and can eat whatever you want, what do you want to eat?" What!"

Goudaner cautiously asked, "Can you say anything?"

"Of course, who can stop you? Just say it." Bai Yule said directly.

"I want to eat rice, that white rice, one grain at a time." Goudan'er made his request.

But, what kind of request is eating rice?

"What's so delicious about Bai Yule?" Bai Yule was dumbfounded.

Although every meal should not be missed, but if this thing is eaten alone, it has no taste.

Goudan'er's voice became softer, "I've never eaten it before. It was my grandma who said that rice is delicious. When it's ready in the next year and there is surplus food at home, you can take me to eat rice. just escaped..."

Naturally, the rice fell through.

Chi Mohan couldn't help frowning.

He caught the key words from Goudan'er's words.

Years, surplus food.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Jin, peasants would pay part of the grain as tax every year, and keep the rest for themselves.

Of course, if it is the rented land of the landlord, part of it must be given to the landlord.

But even so, there should be surplus food.

Think about the Jiang family, the poorest in Jiangjia Village, with a large population and little land, but if you squeeze them together, you can still eat a meal of white rice during the festival.

Why is Goudan so miserable?
"Where is your ancestral home?" Chi Mohan asked.

When Goudaner was asked where his home was, Goudan'er suddenly became scared again, his eyes were terrified, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Chi Mohan,

"Don't ask him, there is something going on in her family, it's inconvenient to tell you."

Jiang Zhimian stepped forward to smooth things over, walked to Chi Mohan's side, and whispered the whole story.

"This time last year? How many months?" Chi Mohan asked.

This has nothing to do with where the family lives, so Goudaner obediently replied, "Late June."

Just in time to pay your taxes every year!
Could it be that Goudan'er's family can't make up every year and is forced to sell their daughter every year?

Or in other words, the Goudaner family is not the only one in this situation?

"How are other people living in your place?" Chi Mohan asked again.

Goudaner thought for a while, "It's a good life, they all have sorghum porridge to drink, and at this time of year, they will go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables, dry them and mud them to make bricks, and wait until winter. eat!"

She also wanted to do this, but she couldn't compare to others, so she could only pick up a little mushroom and dig a little wild vegetable. In winter, she was too hungry, so she could only go to the river to break the ice and wait for the fish to breathe.

"Isn't that good?" Bai Yule didn't understand the life of the poor, but just hearing it like that made him feel bad.

I finally ate a little, why put it in the mud.

How dirty!
"You don't understand. It can be preserved for a long time. In addition, it will prevent others from stealing it and building a wall. When you want to eat, you can knock on the mud bricks on it. When the winter is over, the wall will be eaten." Jiang Zhimian said. .

"Yes, yes, sister Zhimian, how do you know?" Goudaner nodded in surprise, "My mother told me that it is like this."

"Let's go." Chi Mohan said.

Jiang Zhimian looked up and saw his serious expression, so he stopped talking and got into the car with Goudaner.

As usual, Qilin drove the car, and the others sat inside.

It was a novelty for Goudaner to ride a carriage for the first time, so he looked around, but he drank too much sugar water at noon, so he would easily start to feel sleepy now.

Not long after, he curled up in a corner and fell asleep.

After Chi Mohan made sure that she was asleep, he looked at Jiang Zhimian, "Try to find a way to ask where she is from."

"Why, fifth brother, you want to send him back for a ghost marriage? You are so cruel!" Bai Yule exclaimed.

What I received was naturally Chi Mohan's stinging eyes.

Jiang Zhimian guessed his thoughts, "Do you suspect that Goudaner's hometown has heavy taxes and the people are struggling?"

"It's possible, so ask." Chi Mohan nodded.

Jiang Zhimian said OK, expressing his understanding.

Lian Yun next to her couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect that no matter which country you are in, there will be such a pitiful place. The kings of all dynasties have said to be wise kings, so that the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, but in fact, they have never done it."

"It's not that they haven't done it, it's that they can't do it. There are always exceptions to the officials who are distributed layer by layer. With them, it is impossible for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment."

More importantly, this kind of situation can only be cured partly. Usually, your side stops singing, and our side appears on stage, which emerges endlessly.

All he can do is to see the problem in front of him and then grasp it.

Jiang Zhimian looked at Chi Mohan's brows furrowed into black spots, and felt a little distressed.

Reaching out to smoothen his brows, "Do your best, it will be amazing."

"That's right, Fifth Brother, Goudan'er is just a kid you met on the side of the road, but you thought of her hometown being in dire straits. How many people can have this thought? You are amazing." Bai Yule said.

"It's not just helping her." Chi Mohan said softly.

"I know, of course not only to help her, but also to help her hometown." Bai and Le agreed.

But Chi Mohan still shook his head, "It's more than that."
