The two Niu brothers, who live far away in Niujia Village, Chuzhou, Huainan Road, dragged their exhausted bodies back to their home after another busy day.
Their elder couldn't help but sigh here as he saw the two of them getting more and more tired.
"The new Shangguan is really unkind. He has to ask our two sons-in-law to do everything, and it's so tiring."
Even though the elders of Niu Chicao and Niu Shangshan were talking about the abnormal treatment their son-in-law had suffered, they looked at the two brothers coming from a distance. Although they were extremely tired here, they said to them with smiles on their faces. arrive.
"Dad, we are back. Not only are we back this time, we also brought back a lot of rewards."
As they spoke, the two took out a handful of scattered copper coins from their arms.
For the two Niu brothers who had never seen so many copper coins, the reward was quite a lot.
However, the old men of the two families looked at each other and sighed.
Is this sending beggars away? Even if you do part-time work, you can't earn so little money, not to mention that you only get this little salary for several months of work? I can’t even support my wife and children.
Just when the two of them looked at each other and sighed, not knowing what to do, Zhao, who had been living here, shouted.
"Uncles, the food is ready. Let's go inside and eat together."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao had prepared the food, the two of them stopped talking here. Instead, the two old guys supported each other and went to eat together. When the Niu brothers went over with them, their respective wives My son came here with a little guy.
It's just that outsiders feel pity for this little guy at first glance. He is obviously a newborn baby and should have fine skin and tender flesh, but this is not the case at all.
Not only are these two babies not white and tender, but they are skinny and bones from hunger, and their faces are sallow.
Seeing this scene, the two Niu brothers went forward to tease them honestly, but their wives couldn't tell them what they were suffering from.
Today, after the Niu brothers who were eating finished teasing their little baby, they looked at the table in surprise.
"Hey, why is there no rice today, only vegetables?"
When the two Niu brothers said this, Zhao sighed and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhao will not care how much these people spend on food. Since she is responsible for making food here, she will definitely do it with all her heart and effort. Without rice, it is obvious that she has no money to buy it.
But just when Zhao was here lowering his head and sighing. His son Wang Ergou did quit.
"Mother, I want to go find the general. He set the wages and the system. Why are they overturned by these people? The fields are not allowed to be planted, and they are all used to dry salt. What's going on?"
Although Xu Yunyan was very strict with them in the past, he also allowed them to achieve success in their studies. How could they do such a thing?
After Wang Ergou said this, someone knocked on the courtyard door suddenly.
This time, Mrs. Zhao was so frightened that she hurriedly covered Wang Ergou's mouth.
"Er Gou has some things that we can't say. We can't embarrass the general, let alone cause trouble for him. We didn't listen to people outside saying that our general has a bad background. This is completely taking advantage. If we continue to trouble the general, what will happen to him? It doesn’t necessarily mean that the general will offend anyone.”
Mrs. Zhao was here trying to persuade her children, while the two brothers from the Niu family next to her were still stupidly drinking the porridge made from the wild vegetables that Mrs. Zhao had worked so hard to collect.
And just when they are here, the whole family is thinking about something. Chief Zhao Bo of Zhaojia Village walked in slowly with a basket.
There is a bit of green in this basket, and it looks like a wild vegetable.
After he came in, he looked at the group of people eating and drinking here and said with a smile.
"Hey, are you all here? My family picked some wild vegetables and came here to pay a visit."
When Uncle Zhao said this, the two brothers of the Niu family hurriedly stood up to greet him, and their father-in-law and mother-in-law were also here to greet Uncle Zhao. Although they were about the same age, this was not their original village, let alone Uncle Zhao. Even Xu Yunyan was respectful to him.
It's just that although Uncle Zhao and this group of people live in the same village, there are always some situations that cannot be explained clearly, and there are some things that cannot be discussed in detail together.
There were some polite things to say, but Uncle Zhao saw the two Niu brothers eating here and had no intention of leaving. The Niu brothers asked him to come forward and have a meal together. Decline here.
"No, no, I ate. I just came to sit down after eating. I don't have anything else to do. You can just eat."
Although Uncle Zhao looked kind and friendly here, as if nothing was wrong, he looked like he didn't have three hundred taels of silver here. Then Mrs. Zhao glanced at the elders who were eating cattle and going up the mountain.
The two of them also sighed, and Father Gao stepped forward and asked.
"If you have something to do, Village Chief Zhao, just tell me directly. Who among us is talking to whom? There is no need to be so polite here."
After Father Gao said this, Uncle Zhao sighed again and said to him, "In that case, I have something to tell you."
When Zhao Bo was about to say something, he stood up and looked around, especially since there was no one watching outside the courtyard, so he spoke quietly here.
"Everyone, I'm here to beg you." Uncle Zhao said this, and everyone looked at him curiously and didn't know why.
How to say this?
Just when Uncle Zhao was feeling embarrassed here, everyone looked at him like, "Come on, tell me, it's reasonable to whet our appetites all day long?"
Uncle Zhao felt a little shameless, and finally sighed, "I'm not afraid of death, old guy. Let's put it this way. When Mr. Xu was here, we lived quite happily. It's just that Mr. Xu did this." The salt farm was originally a good thing that benefited the country and the people."
After Uncle Zhao finished speaking, everyone nodded. Indeed, this is a good thing. But after Uncle Zhao finished speaking, everyone looked at him. You said this is a good thing, and you are here to beg us. What do you want to do?
Seeing everyone looking at him again, waiting for his explanation, Uncle Zhao thanked Xu Yunyan again.
"That's what happened, but somehow this new official and the county magistrate are on the same page. They tax us arbitrarily. They not only reduce our wages, but also deduct our wages everywhere. I really see it. The sons and daughters of my hometown can no longer survive.
Although it wasn't so difficult in the past, you could still catch some seafood during the holidays to supplement your family income, but now you can't go to the beach even if you have a salt farm. Look at how we are living today! "
But when Uncle Zhao said this, the people in front of him became even more unhappy when they looked at him.
You also know that you will go to the beach to subsidize your family. Isn’t this all because Mr. Xu is here, and you have such a plan?
While everyone in Xu Yunyan's mansion was looking at Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao was embarrassed and carefully took out a memorial from his arms.
"Everyone, this is a letter I wrote to Mr. Xu. I hope Mr. Xu can provide us with justice. I also ask you to hand it to him when someone has the opportunity to meet Mr. Xu. Please ask Mr. Xu to provide us with justice. ah."
Uncle Zhao turned out to be here for this matter. Father Gao sighed.
"Why don't we want to ask General Xu to make the decision for us and uphold justice? However, General Xu's background is not good and his identity is somewhat problematic. Is it really appropriate for us to take the liberty to trouble him like this? Don't let us be implicated if something goes wrong. I’m an adult now.”
When Father Gao said this, Uncle Zhao didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly started crying and knelt down.
"I beg you all, please arrange for someone to go and talk to General Xu. Can you please ask General Xu to take care of you for the sake of the fellow villagers? We don't have much wrongdoing, we just don't want to Just being bullied like this.”
Just when everyone was wondering what to do, Wang Ergou suddenly jumped out.
"I'm going. I haven't seen the adults for a long time, let alone Sister Yue'er. I'm going to find them."
