The aunt didn't expect that Ye Sangwan would dare to say such treacherous words in public. She was so angry that she said "You..." for a long time, but you couldn't explain why.

Ye Sangwan snorted coldly and walked up to the unfamiliar young daughter-in-law: "I, the Ye family in Banyuepo Village, have no relatives, so why not live at my fiancé's house, instead of yours?

But it’s okay to live there. My fiancé’s house entertains me with delicious food and drinks every day. I wonder if my sister-in-law’s house has meat for three meals a day?

As for the beams, I don’t know if the beams in my sister-in-law’s house can withstand my stature!”

Ye Sangwan didn't know the situation of this new daughter-in-law's husband's family, but most of the villagers' families in Banyueppo Village were poor, and having two meals a day was a problem.

Usually when going to town, everyone would change into newer clothes for the sake of dignity, but this young daughter-in-law's old clothes were full of patches, so Ye Sangwan guessed that her husband's family conditions were harsh.

The little daughter-in-law's face turned red when Ye Sangwan said that. She pursed her lips tightly, and her red eyes were filled with tears, which fell instantly.

Ye Sangwan was indifferent and looked at the first woman who spoke, her eyes half-smiling but not smiling, with undisguised mockery and sarcasm: "Auntie, can you lend me your belt?

"

She pressed forward step by step, frightening the woman so much that she clutched her waistband and retreated step by step. Finally, she stumbled and fell flat on her face.

Ye Sangwan laughed exaggeratedly. After laughing, his beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously and glanced at everyone: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. It will be good for you, aunts and sisters-in-law, to be virtuous!"

Everyone was frightened by Ye Sangwan's eyes and stared at her with some fear.

It happened that at this time, Zhu Jizhong led the ox and carried Zhu Chaozhang slowly.

Zhu Chaozhang smiled kindly when he saw Ye Sangwan and patted the seat next to him: "Girl Wan, come up and sit down!"

Ye Sangwan nodded to Zhu Jizhong: Grandpa Zhu, come right now!"

And sweetly shouted: "Uncle Zhong!"

Then he happily jumped onto the bullock cart.

Seeing that the others did not move, Zhu Jizhong glanced at the group of usually irritable women with strange eyes: "Aren't you leaving?"

Everyone huddled together and waved their hands, as if there was a man-eating monster on the bullock cart.

Zhu Jizhong has always been honest and honest. He is naturally happy to be at ease when he sees no one.

The three of them chatted all the way to the gate of the town, and then divided into two groups.

Ye Sangwan and Zhu Chaozhang went to the office to apply for the house deed, while Zhu Jizhong went to the brick and tile factory to inspect the goods.

Zhu Chaozhang was very familiar with the place where he was doing business. He led Ye Sangwan through the troubled streets and arrived at the door of a secluded and majestic house.

After explaining their origins to the official guard at the door, the two were allowed to pass.

This is not a county government office, it is just a temporary office. There is only a "Temporary Affairs Office" sign hanging at the door. It looks like the sign has been hanging there for a few years.

It was a lean year, and there were many people applying for land title deeds, but very few house deeds.

After queuing up two people, Ye Sangwan got a red book with Ye Chuan's name and official seal, and also paid a tael of silver in deed tax.

I have to lament that the taxes in Tianshan Country are really heavy.

First there is the head tax, then there is the house deed tax, there is also the field tax and land tax, and at the autumn harvest, you have to pay 40% of the harvest tax. Isn't this an inappropriate attempt to plunder the people's wealth?

When she and Zhu Chaozhang came out of the processing office, they didn't want to meet the official who reminded her to pay attention to safety that day, Mr. Yang.

This time, he brought his subordinates with him.

Seeing Zhu Chaozhang, the two of them called Zhu Chaozhang familiarly: "Village Chief Zhu."

Then he explained the reason for stopping the two of them, "Village Chief Zhu, Miss Ye, originally we and I received this mission today and went to Banyuepo Village to meet you two.

By chance, I met the two of you here.

The thing is like this, the gangsters who pretended to be fake officials have confessed in full, and the case is almost closed.

In view of the help of Miss Ye and Village Chief Zhu, our county magistrate decided to reward them both."

As Yang Captou said this, he took out two packages of silver wrapped in red paper from his arms, handed the larger piece to Ye Sangwan, and the smaller piece to Zhu Chaozhang: "Our county magistrate is very grateful to you two for your cooperation.

This is a letter of commendation written by your Excellency to the two of you.

Here, I would like to congratulate you both!"

Zhu Chaozhang and Ye Sangwan looked at each other, took the envelope, and handed it over to the county government office to thank them.

"Sorry for the trouble, two young men. Let's have a dinner at home when you have time. Our girl's cooking skills are very good!" Zhu Chaozhang gave the two officials a thumbs up, with sincerity on his face.

Ye Sangwan originally thought that the two officials would politely refuse, but Yang Captou thought for a moment and said rudely: "Then please trouble Village Chief Zhu and Miss Ye to arrange it, and we will shamelessly bother you two tomorrow.

"

After saying that, the two of them smiled honestly at Zhu Chaozhang and Ye Sangwan, and left quickly as they still had official duties.

Zhu Chaozhang stared at the backs of the two men and muttered: "Will there be any new orders?"

Afraid that the old man would think wildly again, Ye Sangwan quickly comforted him: "What other orders can there be for this stall? Grandpa Zhu, please don't think too much. The rules will be the same tomorrow. I will prepare the ingredients and leave everything else to Grandpa Zhu's arrangement."

"Okay, my little girl is getting more and more mature in her work. Grandpa Zhu, I'm looking forward to enjoying a happy life!"

As he spoke, he took out two strings of copper coins from his arms, which were about two hundred coins. "Take these coins and buy more meat, vegetables, and so on. Oh, by the way! I also want two of those good wines."

Altar, such a good thing happened today, we must celebrate it tomorrow."

After saying that, she repeatedly told Ye Sangwan to come to the village and not allow her to spread it around. The general idea was that she was afraid that someone would covet this generous silver reward.

I picked up five taels of silver for nothing! If I am jealous of the people in the village, I am sure those people with evil thoughts may have some bad intentions.

On this point, Ye Sangwan and Zhu Chaozhang have the same idea. It is better to do less than to do more. It is the truth to make a fortune in silence.

After receiving repeated assurances from Ye Sangwan, Zhu Chaozhang met an old acquaintance.

Ye Sangwan agreed to meet him at the gate of the town before sunset on the grounds that he was going to purchase items.

Carrying the basket on his shoulder, Ye Sangwan took out the note and prepared to pay Yun Heng for the game he had recently supplied to the restaurant.

When she opened the note and understood what it said, she immediately blushed.

What does "Can you please bring the silver back to my wife?"

How dare he? Who is her wife? Shameless!

However, Yun Heng told him last night that he must bring the silver back today. He needed it urgently, so Ye Sangwan went to pay the money anyway.

I don’t know how long it took for the money to be settled, but I ended up paying more than 170 taels of silver in one go! If you put this in Banyuepo Village, it would be a real nouveau riche!

No wonder Miao Miao is so obsessed with Yun Heng.

Thinking like this, Ye Sangwan felt a sense of sourness in his heart for no reason.

Walk to a remote alley and transfer the banknotes and house deeds hidden in the sleeves into the space.

When she rushed out with large and small bags hanging on her, Zhu Chaozhang was speechless and received another round of ideological education on diligence and frugality along the way.

The next day, just after breakfast, the Miao family's mother and daughter knocked on the Yun family's door.

As soon as he entered the door, Miao Miao's eyes searched for Yun Heng's figure everywhere in the courtyard. Everyone knew it well, but did not mention a word about Yun Heng.

The baskets they carried contained needlework and an embroidery shed. Chen Ru knew very well that there was another tough battle to be fought today.

Ye Sangwan was going to Zhu Chaozhang's home today to prepare for reception of officials. Seeing that the sun was still early, he heard that Yunxiang and Ye Sangyan were going to dig wild vegetables in the back mountain, so he quickly found a bamboo basket to follow them.

Bringing half a frame of the wild cress that the beauty wanted beside the stream, Ye Sangwan took some space ingredients and went to Zhu Chaozhang's house. He spent an hour and a half with Grandma Zhu and Mrs. Wang to prepare a table of delicious dishes.

Among them are their signature dishes of boiled chicken and steamed fish, as well as several light dishes.

Ye Sangwan added several more flavorful dishes to it, such as braised pork, spicy chicken, and stir-fried pork with spicy cress and pepper.

As soon as the dishes were put on the table, Captain Yang and two of his subordinates, dressed in majestic uniforms, came on horseback.

When he turned over and dismounted, the waist knife was already in his hand.

The government officials were doing business and the idlers quickly backed down. As soon as the officials entered the village, a woman hurriedly took the children who were still playing on the road back to her home, hiding behind the crack in the door and peeking in fear.

Zhu Chaozhang smiled and welcomed the three of them into the house. The room was relatively dark, and the table was placed under the shade of the trees in the yard. The wind was blowing slowly, which felt a bit refreshing in the autumn.

Yang Captou handed the snacks and tea leaves in his hand to Zhu Chaozhang, "Junior, I hope Village Chief Zhu won't refuse."

"Captain Yang is too polite. It's just a common meal. I hope you don't dislike it."

Yang Captou and others looked at the table, which was filled with more than a dozen bowls of different dishes, large and small. When the three of them looked at each other, they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

In times of famine, such dishes are not something that ordinary people can generously prepare, unless they pay enough attention to you.

After a few polite words, a few people took their seats one by one.

Zhu Chaozhang hurriedly asked Zhu Jizhong to fetch a wine jar and fill it with Yang Baotou and others, but he was refused: "Village Chief Zhu, we have important matters to come today and it is not convenient for us to drink.

You don’t need any special care, just treat it as an ordinary family banquet and let the whole family serve it together, and everyone will be lively."

After all the guests said this, Zhu Jizhong asked everyone in his family to come over.

Also coming with him was Ye Sangwan.

Seeing Ye Sangwan, Yang Captou was surprised.

Zhu Chaozhang explained, "Girl Wan is good at cooking. Old man, I shamelessly called this kid over to help." He pointed at the dishes made by Ye Sangwan on the table one by one. "She made these. I

I tasted it secretly just now and it tasted good, just a little spicy..."

Mr. Yang understood that this was a joint banquet hosted by two families. "We young people should be spicy. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ye."

Ye Sangwan smiled modestly: "Grandma Zhu and Aunt Wang's craftsmanship are also very good. Everyone, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Yes, yes, everyone has worked hard!" Yang Captou and others agreed.

In the simple farmhouse courtyard, there is a patch of swaying shade of trees on the ground. When the cool breeze blows, there is a rustling sound above the head.

At the dinner table, people were drinking and drinking happily.

Zhu Chaozhang also received reliable news at the dinner table: no taxes were paid for the first three years of land reclamation, and there was no tax order for autumn planting.
