Crossing the Splendid Farmhouse

Chapter 46
Tang Xing'er quickened her hand movements while speaking.

She is very skillful in needlework, as soon as she speeds up, the movements of her hands suddenly look as beautiful as butterflies wearing flowers.

The "work clothes" drawn by Tang Lier are simple in style, just a bib, but there is a big pocket sewn on the front to collect money at any time.Tang Xing'er can sew several pieces of overalls like this in a day.

Tang Kun Tangqiao has built a stove this morning, and it can be put into use as soon as the stove is dry.

Now, the life of their family is on the right track. Tang Kun Tangqiao and Mrs. Zhao dig sweet potatoes in the morning and build shacks at noon and afternoon.After supper, they will make some bamboo sticks under the bright moonlight, so that the villagers can buy them for use at any time.

Tang Li'er and Tang Mei'er even moved all the strip work that Tang Kun and the others did at night from the main room to the side building for storage.Because the main room no longer belongs to them, they don't want to conflict with Mr. Wu because of this.

In addition to feeding chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, Tang Xinger is also responsible for sewing work clothes.

In addition to cooking three meals a day, Tang Lier also led Tang Jie and Tang Meier to actively prepare for selling sugar-fried chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes.In order to avoid producing smoke as much as possible when burning the fire, Tang Lier specially spent a day burning a lot of charcoal with Tang Kun and Tangqiao.

In the active preparation of their whole family, time seemed to pass very quickly.Many villagers in the village have already started harvesting, even Tang Lian has also started to do it.

Tang Kun, the Zhao family and Tang Qiao also specially set aside a day to help Tang Lian fight for a day.The next day, Mr. Tang finally passed a message to Tang Kun, saying that he had already made an agreement with Mr. Wu, saying that the paddy fields allocated to Tang Kun and his family would be returned after the rice was harvested.

In other words, as long as Tang Kun remains the same as in previous years this year, as long as he gives four hundred catties of filial piety to Mr. Tang Wu and the others, the rest will still belong to Tang Kun and the others except for paying taxes.

Tang Kun's eyes immediately turned red, and he was ashamed of his misunderstanding of Wu's at the beginning.However, when Tang Kunzhao and his five children ran to the edge of the field with a sickle to prepare for harvesting, they discovered that there were already more than a dozen people from other villages in the field who were cutting and beating at high speed. Loads of golden and plump rice were carried into the old house by them.

"Tang Kun, you won't forget that these paddy fields are the ancestral property of our old Tang's family, right? Now that you have been kicked out of the old Tang's house, why do you think you are still qualified to eat the rice in this field?"

Standing in the field in a rare coarse cloth, Mrs. Wu looked at Tang Kun's family with mockery.

"You...you planned it long ago, why did you answer...to Tang...Uncle Tang?"

After so many days of adjustments, Tang Kun's mentality has become very peaceful.In particular, the atmosphere at home is getting better day by day, the food has also improved in an all-round way, and Tang Kun's complexion has become much better.

But now, he felt as if he was back in the past.Wu's mocking words made him feel even more embarrassed,

"Yes, I have already called someone to help me harvest. The reason why I agreed to the old man is just to see how thick some people are."

Wu's words became harder to hear.

Tang Kun and Zhao's face turned red, but Tang Xing'er and Tang Qiao were so angry that her legs trembled.Tang Meier wanted to say something but was held back by Tang Lier.

Although Tang Lier was also angry, she was not surprised at all.She pulled Tang Mei'er to prevent her from interrupting, but she leaned over and whispered something in Tang Jie's ear.

Tang Jie's eyes lit up when he heard Tang Lier's words, and then he secretly squeezed out the crowd who had heard Wu's loud voice and ran to Xiao Lizheng's house quietly.

"Meizi, Xiaojie is looking for Lizheng. When you go to the old house now, you must drag Grandpa Tang here, you know? Also, remember, when you go to find Grandpa Tang, you must hide from Tang Ling and Tang Yu found out..."

After explaining to Tang Jie, Tang Lier bit Tang Meier's ear and instructed Tang Meier carefully.

Tang Li'er didn't need to think about it to know that Wu's actions must be behind Mr. Tang's back.And in the old house, no one except Tang Yu could drag Mr. Tang with an excuse to prevent him from discovering any clues.

When the matter was over, Mrs. Wu took all the rice to the old house. Even if Mr. Tang wanted to help Tang Kun's family, he couldn't send the rice to Tang Kun's warehouse under her nose.

Seeing that Tang Jie and Tang Meier were leaving quickly, Tang Lier continued to calm down.Tang Jie walks very fast, but Tang Meier is smart and quick-witted at a young age.With the two of them running errands, Tang Li'er was happy and relaxed.

"Aunt Wu, you have to be conscientious to be a human being. From planting rice seedlings to topdressing and weeding, our husband and wife did it all. How could you... How could you..."

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she almost couldn't even speak.

She knew that Mrs. Wu hated their family, but she didn't know that Mrs. Wu already wanted their family to starve to death...

"It's so funny. I'm just harvesting the crops in my own field. Why don't I have a conscience? Your family is so strong, you must not pay attention to these rice, right? Haven't you bought white rice several times? Then go ahead and buy…”

Mrs. Wu didn't pay attention to Mrs. Zhao's words at all, and still shouted arrogantly and unreasonably.Her words directly made all the villagers who were watching the excitement "chi-" and all laughed.

"Weird things happen every year, especially this year. Aunt Wu can really do it. Seeing her posture, she won't give up until Tang Kun's family can't survive..."

"That's right, it didn't take a little effort, it's really quick to put away the rice..."

The crowd began to whisper.

"Grandma Wu, even though this land is indeed yours. However, our family has worked so hard to grow the crops in this land. We don't want too much, just like ordinary tenant farmers, we only need [-]% of the total harvest. Sample?"

Seeing that Tang Kun was pulling Mrs. Zhao to stop her from speaking, Tang Lier hurriedly spoke with a clear voice. Her voice was clear and penetrating, and almost all the villagers present could hear it.

"Chestnut is right. Even if the tenant farmers grow crops, they can still get [-]% of the harvest. Aunt Wu, Tang Kun's family has made concessions like this, so you just agree..."

Finally, some villagers spoke up to fight the injustice.

"What does a child like her know? If I give [-]% to their family, what else can I have left? Besides, with so many helpers today, almost [-]% of the wages have gone. Except for taxes, you let me drink Northwest wind..."

Wu Shi yelled at the villager who was complaining mercilessly.

When she yelled, no one really spoke for Tang Kun's family anymore.

Seeing this, Tang Kun packed up the things on the ground and prepared to go back to the cave.He really couldn't face such a Wu family who wished to starve their family to death...

"Wu Shi, what are you doing? Hurry up and go back to me..."
