Chapter 1185 The Controversy Between the Collateral Lines and the Direct Lines
Everyone sat around the tent for lunch, cooking sake on the stove, Miko snuggled in Liang Yong's arms, and kept delivering all kinds of food into Liang Yong's mouth, which was recognized by Sakai's family. Liang Yong's son-in-law's status was rapidly improved, and he was as noble as Taro and Jiro. In their opinion, women should serve men like this, even Miko was no exception.
The whole afternoon was very leisurely. Men were drinking wine and chatting together. The women who brought the meal didn't go back. They cooked food aside. Some even took photos with their mobile phones and posted on Weibo. Although they were all dressed as fishermen, they actually had jobs outside. Many of them were senior white-collar workers and big engineers in the city, with good education. Every year, they returned to their hometown for vacation during the ice and snow season and became a happy fisherman for a period of time.
But this time the situation is a bit special. Everyone is in a low mood when talking about work outside. Most of them work in the Sakai family's companies. Recently, the company's business was suppressed by the Yamamoto family and suffered heavy losses. The factory was closed and a large number of layoffs were laid off. Even the tribe's children were affected. Many of them were unemployed at home. Koji was originally a tour guide for a tour company, but recently he was also on vacation and returned home to get the lowest guaranteed salary.
Everyone's eyes became complicated when they looked at Miko. It was already an open secret that Ichiro Yamamoto liked Miko. This time, the Yamamoto family suddenly suppressed the Sakai family because Miko refused Yamamoto Ichiro's proposal and was with Liang Yong. Although they accepted Liang Yong to a certain extent and were disgusted with Ichiro Yamamoto's bullying, they still had a lot of complaints about Liang Yong, if it weren't for Liang Yong, they might have been able to climb the Yamamoto family and live a good life.
Jiro even avoided talking about family affairs. He talked about fishing and the climate this year. Miko lowered her head and said nothing, asking Liang Yong to help her peel the skin of the snow rabbit, wash the internal organs and cook on the fire, and add some seasonings from time to time. The ice surface suddenly had a strong aroma of meat. The two sled hunting dogs did not listen to Liang Yong's command, but were masters who caught snow rabbits. From the morning to now, four or five snow rabbits have been caught, enough for everyone to have a meal.
"Okay, everyone get up and move around, and the net will be closed soon." In the evening, everyone had enough food and drinks. Taro suddenly stood up to greet everyone, and everyone showed an excited expression. The annual ice lake fishing is the happiest season for the locals, just like the New Year.
For locals, pulling nets is the most festive thing. The two respected old men from the tribe took the first move. Then everyone pulled two long ropes to pull out the large nets several kilometers from the ground of the ice. Miko and other women were no exception. Everyone wore thick gloves, and some even hung them on the ropes with shoulder straps to force them with their shoulders.
Liang Yong and Miko stood in the middle of the crowd. Miko found a shoulder strap and hung it on his shoulder. She smiled and pulled his shoulder hard: "Come on, use it, use it..."
"Hehe, Miko, why don't you pull the rope," Liang Yong asked with a silly smile.
"Hehe, I'll help you with your strength, and the credit is yours," Miko said with a smile, holding Liang's sleeve and exerting force.
"Oh...wait, if you pull your sleeves, I'm going to take a striptease and you're going to expose yourself," Liang screamed, which attracted a group of kind laughter. Miko didn't care. She stretched out her crystal-clear finger and grabbed Liang Yong's ear and said, "Then I'll pull here..."
"This is even more impossible. The cold and cold ears will fall off..." Liang Yong was so scared that he reached out to Miko's chest to harass her.
After everyone dragged the giant net and walked out a few hundred meters, they could see that there were already many fish in the net, all of which were big fish of more than ten or twenty kilograms. They were all pleasing to the eye. Taro smiled and said, "The harvest this year is good, and this net has at least 50,000 kilograms of fresh fish."
Everyone cheered happily.
Suddenly, the sound of a motor roar came from a distance, and a snow truck rushed towards him with a sled. There were five high-power snowmobile motorcycles behind him. Everyone saw it from afar and their faces changed and they sighed secretly.
The truck stopped in front of everyone, and a short and fat young man in a fur coat walked out of the car under the bodyguard, shrank his neck and cursed: "Grass, it's so fucking cold,"
Then he said to everyone: "Uncle, you have a good harvest today. I think there is no problem with this net fighting ten tons of fish. The tax of 40% is only four tons of fish. My warehouse is considerate that everyone will charge half of the charge. But you have to give me two tons of fresh fish first. I don't want to wait here." His awesome expression is no different from those tax officials Liang Yong has met in China.
Taro and a few older old men walked up and said, "Butler Kurato, the fish here are managed every year. They are also eaten by their own food during the New Year. They never pay taxes. This year... "
"I didn't pay taxes before, but the clan leader sympathized with you. This year's family business is in a downturn, so the tax naturally needs to keep up," Kurasato said impatiently.
"This is our ancestral property. We have not paid taxes since ancient times. Why?" Koji said angrily among the crowd.
"The ancestors are also the ancestors of the Sakai family. They belong to the clan leader. What does it have to do with you side families? Go and look through the government documents. The clan leader is the owner of this mountain forest and lake. It is quite light for you to pay 40% of the tax on the fish in the lake. If you try to make a tax on fish, you will not be able to fish," Kurato reprimanded.
There is still a dispute over there.
Liang Yong and Miko were also muttering in a low voice: "What's the situation? Who is that guy?"
"His name is Kuratoshi, and he is the nephew of the patriarch. He helps manage the family's industry and bullies people all day long," Miko said angrily.
"Now it's all a civilized society. Why do you have such bullies here? It's the same as the feudal society?"
"Oh, our place has been very feudal for hundreds of years. The family's direct descendants have always inherited 95% of the industry. Our side branches have nothing except some of their own private areas. Many people can't stand their anger. They have moved into the city at home and have broken up with the Sakai family. Only the elders of grandfather and the others are still nostalgic for this homeland," Miko sighed.
"My evil old society, don't you resist? They are all the territories passed down by the ancestors of the Sakai family. Why are they inherited by the direct family?" Liang Yong cursed angrily. The three mountains of China back then were still dark.
"This... they are the orthodox family..." Miko was stunned. Obviously, she had never thought about this problem. In her consciousness, the direct descendants should have all this, and they should be governed by the direct descendants. Not only did she think so, but most of the locals thought the same as hers.
