Chapter 568

"Daddy! What is this?" Die'er forgot about being beaten by her father at this moment, but picked up the thing and asked her father curiously.

Father saw the emerald green thing in Die'er's hand and carefully identified it. It was a jade pendant worn with red silk rope.

This is a piece of natural jadeite with a transparent texture and a glossy surface. After careful observation, it is found that there are four words "Heirloom Treasure" on the back of this jade pendant.

It turned out to be a treasure left by the ancestors!

My father remembered that when my father died, he said that there is a family heirloom in the family, please take care to preserve it, and after he finished speaking, he died.

This makes me very regretful, where is the family heirloom?
Unexpectedly, a pair of sons and daughters played hide-and-seek today, and accidentally discovered that this heirloom was hidden in the head of the Buddha statue.

Thinking of this, the father quickly put away the iron ring, and replied seriously to the two children: "This is a family heirloom left by your grandfather!"

The mother came over, looked closely, and was very excited, and said, "That's great! This jade pendant is too precious!"

When a pair of children and a couple cheered and rejoiced for discovering this heirloom by accident, something unexpected happened.

"My lord! This is Zhang Erwan's home." Obviously, it was the village head's voice.

"Quick! Go in and collect grain for me!" was the voice of the tax collector urging.

Soon, Zhang Erwan discovered that after the village head led the paunchy tax collectors, a group of ruffians they bought were behind him.

"Are you Zhang Erwan?" The tax collector asked Zhang Erwan, drunk and staggering, with his hands on his round belly.

"Yes!" Zhang Erwan, an honest farmer, replied.

"The village chief! Let's settle the accounts with him! See how much grain tax you pay this time!" said the tax collector, reeking of alcohol.

The village head then took an abacus, played it up and down, and said, "Zhang Erwan, this time we have to requisition 100 dan of grain!"

"Village head! We only produce 150 tans of grain throughout the year! If we are expropriated for [-] tans, we only have [-] tans left, and we have to change some other oil and salt, and we have to save some rations. How can our family of four live?" what!"

Zhang Erwan hurriedly begged.

"Huh! That's pretty cheap!" The tax collector interjected, "Zhang Erwan! Last year's was still 150 tans short, and we didn't pay all of them! This year, let's pay one lump sum! Pay [-] tans!" the tax collector said arrogantly.

"Officer! I beg you! Don't confiscate all our family's food! You should give us a way to survive! I beg you!"

Zhang Erwan's wife was so anxious that she knelt down and begged the tax collector, but the tax collector ignored him with a straight face, and ordered to the gangsters behind him: "Move them all!".

Five hooligans swarmed up, broke into the main room and began to carry the neatly stacked grain.

"Don't! Don't! Village chief! Help us to speak!" Zhang Erwan's wife used her body to block the local ruffians from carrying food.

A gangster kicked her in the stomach, ouch, with a scream, Zhang Erwan's wife fell to the ground in pain, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands.

"Mother! Mother!" Both Jun'er and Die'er hurried over to support their mother.

"You guys are going too far! You guys are really driving people to a dead end! I'll fight with you!" The honest and responsible Zhang Erwan rushed towards these hooligans as if he had been greatly stimulated.
