Chapter 31: Mandatory Grabbing

Doctor Ji crushed the halva with a pestle and carefully looked at the powdered sugar residue. There was nothing wrong with the halva.

"I will give you conservative treatment first and prepare a medicine for you to take internally and externally."

"Doctor, is there something wrong with the halva?" The woman expected a definite answer.

Doctor Ji shook his head. There was nothing wrong with the candy, so he had to ask about other details of the problem.

When Wang and his family returned home, Liu Chunlan soaked the hard steamed buns until soft, mashed them up, mixed them with wheat husks, and fed them to the rabbits.

Unexpectedly, the rabbit also picked his mouth and ate the fragrant wheat husks in the basin, leaving behind those mashed hard buns.

"Is Wang Changyi at home?"

There was an energetic shout outside the door. The person coming was wearing the clothes of a government official, and each person had a big knife on his waist.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Wang Yonglin said politely and wanted to find out what it was.

"Zheng Ding, who is your family? Tell us your name!"

The Wang family was extremely surprised. Did they hear it right?

"Master Cha, didn't you say that the tax would be collected after the beginning of the new year? Or you should pay ten loads of grain."

The leading yamen servant was impatient and took out an official document, which was the latest red-headed document.

It is said that the war in the south is extremely tight, and the most lacking thing is men, and we can't wait to capture them.

I don't know who had the bad idea, but I took advantage of the New Year's Eve when everyone was here to catch me off guard to avoid a large number of people escaping.

"Can I still pay for the food?"

"No, you need to send someone out quickly, otherwise we'll base it on your household registration."

The Wang family was dissatisfied because they had already harvested their food after spring as promised, but now they were told they couldn't do it.

Wang Yongye immediately gave some of his money to the government officials and asked about the situation outside.

When they saw the money in their hands, the government officials relented and their attitude changed drastically, telling them that they had to hand over the person today, and the officer at the post station would take the person away tonight.

If anyone resists, the superiors can kill them on the spot and be charged with disobeying the Holy Order.

"No, no! Let's discuss it right away!"

The yamen servant gave Yizhu Xiang some time to discuss with the Wang family.

Meeting a family with only one child like Granny Hua was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, but I didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

When encountering people who resist and cry, the government officials will draw their swords, and the people will not dare to say a word.

The people were complaining, and on the first day of the new year, their families were forced to disperse, and weeping and howling could be heard from every house.

Father Wang summoned his family members into the house, and they only had one stick of incense to decide who would go.

"Dad, you are getting older. We have agreed before that we will draw lots."

Father Wang let out a long sigh, found a thin bamboo stick, and asked several people to turn their backs.

The bamboo strip in his hand was folded into four sections, including the longest one. Mr. Wang aligned the upper ends and the lower ends were of different lengths.

"Smoke it, no matter who it is, you guys will feel uncomfortable."

If you don't have a country, you don't have a home. So many soldiers on the frontier have sacrificed their lives and shed blood. Now that their country has reached such a state, the good man has to go, not only to defend the country, but at least to fight for his wife, children and relatives in the rear.

You must know how humble the slaves of the subjugated country are. They have no dignity at all and are trampled and trampled by other countries.

The women stood outside the door, moving back and forth restlessly like ants on a hot pot.

"Mom, are the officials outside here to arrest someone? Uncle Fengping was also taken away, and Grandma Hua cried."

The boys were also restless. They had just seen a lot of people with big knives on the road outside, arresting people from house to house.

When several women heard what was going on outside, they couldn't help but feel sore in their eyes. What kind of year is this!

When the men came out of the room, the women looked at their men to see if it was him.

"It's the fourth child, go and pack his things." Father Wang spoke a little more seriously.

After hearing this, Li Zhenxiang swayed and almost fainted.

"Don't worry, I will come back well." Wang Yonglin hugged his wife tightly. In fact, he was not afraid of going to war, but he could not die. His wife and children were still waiting for him.

When An Ran heard the final result, she reached out to Father Wang.

Father Wang understood, picked An Ran up and carried him into the house.

An Ran took out two things, a military dagger, a bottle of life-saving pills, and a bottle of healing water.

The amount on her panel is already in single digits, especially the bottle of life-saving pills, which was unlocked yesterday. There are only three pills in the bottle.

Father Wang held the things given by Fubao tightly in his hands. These are life-saving things.

Li Zhenxiang had no time to feel sad and hurriedly packed her best clothes and shoes.

Liu Chunlan hurriedly opened her hidden money box, gritted her teeth and took out five taels of silver.

Fang Cuiying rummaged through the box and found the shoes she had made for Wang Yongye.

Zhang Guihua took a clean cloth bag and stuffed the buns steamed at home today and the sesame candies for worship into the bag.

Soon the official shouted outside the door. The people waiting outside had just come out from home and were carrying large and small packages.

"Yong Lin, be sure to put these things away. Life-saving things, we will wait for you to come back."

Wang Yonglin looked at what his father gave him and felt a little more at ease. The two of them held hands tightly, and Father Wang turned his back and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Fengping, you two take care of each other."

The smiling man in the team had a thin baggage in his hand, and his family really couldn't give him anything.

"Brother, I'll get you the baggage. Uncle Wang, please go back. We will look after each other."

Relatives from various families followed the conscripted team, but they were driven away by the officers and soldiers. They could only watch from a distance as the team went further and further away.

The village chief's family was also standing at the entrance of the village crying. Sister-in-law Qiu's eyes were swollen from crying, and there was only one seedling in their house.

"Oops! I have to go home and take a look."

Only then did Fang Cuiying remember that their family was divided, so wouldn't it mean that several men from her family would be expropriated?

If a household has two doors, it will be difficult for people and money to survive. This is the concept of most people. They do not easily divide the family, which makes families with many children avoid disaster.

But Butcher Fang was different. He felt that if a tree is divided into branches, the family will be divided. As soon as the younger son marries a wife, the family will be separated.

Especially her father. Her father didn't want anyone to follow him at first, so he lived alone with his old wife, and it was enough to give each family some food or money every month.

In this situation, wouldn't her father's old bones be sent to the battlefield?

Speaking of which, the women in this family realized that the Fang family was in such a bad situation.

Today, among the women in the Wang family, only Fang Cuiying’s mother’s family has many brothers. Liu Chunlan originally sold her body to bury her father in the Wang family. At that time, the Wang family was very poor and all the men were single.

Many families with daughters look down on the Wang family because they are too poor.

Fang Cuiying and Wang Yongye were life-savers, and they developed a liking for each other over time. In addition, Wang Yongye was sweet-tongued and could coax people, so Fang's family was not willing to marry her but they were willing to marry her.

Zhang Guihua is an only daughter. She and Wang Yongping have been childhood sweethearts since they were children. The two have been in love with each other. The Zhang family is also a small household in the village. Once, the mainstay of the Zhang family became seriously ill and had no money for treatment. They borrowed money from all over the village, but only Wang’s family borrowed it.

Give them a lot of money.

Although no one was retained in the end, Zhang Guihua's mother immediately agreed to the matter between the two, and later her mother also followed her father.

Not to mention Li Zhenxiang's family, which is located in a poor mountain valley. The Wang family is a wealthy family for them, and they lost contact with each other after their sisters got married.

"Let's go back and check the situation first." Father Wang also became anxious for this in-laws.

Fang Cuiying didn't stay for a moment, and quickly ran to her house. She knew that her family lived in another town and had to take a boat.

She has three brothers and two younger brothers, and countless other cousins.

If her family's household registration was assigned by arresting Ding, six of them would have to be arrested.
