Chapter 2 Sis, you finally woke up
"Mom, how can you say that? I know, I know that you took the money. It was the life-saving money of our family head. The money should belong to our family. Thirty taels of silver, a full thirty taels.
Well, the eldest child is also your grandson. How can you bear not even giving him ten taels of silver for the military conscription tax? How can you be so cruel, how can you be so cruel?"
At the end of the story, Wen Yulan, who had always had a very gentle personality, looked at the old lady with eyes full of hatred.
Not to mention Wen Yulan, even Wen Xia, who came here only halfway, hated the old lady with a bit of hatred after hearing her words.
Wen Yulan was right. The old lady now has at least thirty taels of silver in her hand. And this money should be compensation for their family.
Half a month ago, Qin Erzhu came down from the mountain and went to the county to sell prey.
It was also his bad luck. When he was rushing back after selling the prey, he was innocently involved in the jealousy of several dandy boys, and was accidentally hit on the head.
When he was carried back by people from the same village, he was already unconscious. Qin Shenxing asked a doctor to take a look at him, but was told that even if he was rescued, he would most likely remain in a coma, wasting the family's money.
It would be better to just die and prepare for his funeral.
Qin Erzhu's wife and children didn't want to give up, but the rest of the Qin family didn't want to pay a single coin. With no other choice, Qin Shenxing had no choice but to go to the county town to seek explanations from the two playboys who injured Qin Erzhu and the county magistrate.
Although Qin Shenxing's skills are very good, he is only sixteen years old after all. He grew up in the countryside and cannot imagine how complicated the outside world is.
After he passed, the county magistrate not only did not punish the two dandy boys, but also slapped him ten times for disturbing the court. After he left the Yamen, the two squire's sons hired more than twenty thugs to block him.
He was beaten not far from the Yamen.
If he hadn't frightened the two dandy boys with his life-threatening ferocity, they wouldn't have said anything about giving Qin Erzhu some medical expenses, and the matter would have been kept private.
Qin Shenxing disagreed at first. Although ten taels of silver was a lot for country people like them, it was not enough to pay Qin Erzhu's medical expenses for a long time.
As a result, before Qin Shenxing could reach an agreement with the two squires, the old couple of the Qin family found out about this matter from somewhere, and actually went directly to the two squires and negotiated terms with them. They took thirty taels.
After the money, this matter has changed.
If that's all, that's it. After the Qin family received the thirty taels of silver, they didn't even want to spend a penny on Qin Erzhu.
After Qin Shenxing found out about this incident, he made a big fuss at home. Before he could get the money, the government officials who were forced to recruit soldiers from the imperial court came over.
Although the requirement is that one male per household is required, as long as one can pay the military conscription tax of ten taels of silver, one does not need to perform military service.
As a result, the Qin family paid the conscription tax to the children of the elder and the third family, but they refused to pay it to Qin Shenxing.
Just when Qin Shenxing was about to enter the house and take the money by force, the son of Qin Dazhu's family hit him on the neck with a stick while Qin Shenxing was fighting with the two government officials, causing Qin Shenxing to faint.
Only after passing through the past can the current situation appear.
Qin Shenxing passed out, and Qin Erzhu is now lying unconscious in the room. The original owner was pushed to the table and unconscious while being pulled. Wen Yulan, who is not in good health, and Qin Jinyan, who is only six years old, are left.
I pray that the old couple of the Qin family realize their conscience, but they seem to be unable to do anything.
Thinking of this, Wen Xia couldn't help but feel that this family was really miserable.
No, now she has become a part of the family. If Qin Shenxing is really taken away, their family's future life will definitely be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Wen Xia tried to stand up and wanted to step forward to help. As soon as he took a step, he stumbled and vomited while holding on to the wall uncontrollably.
It's not that she doesn't work hard, it's just that her physical condition doesn't allow it.
The dizziness struck again, and Wen Xia sighed helplessly before losing consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was lying on a wooden bed. After staring at the dark walls and the roof with stars visible, Wen Xia completely gave up the idea of returning to modern times.
Since we can't go back, we have to think about how we can survive in this strange era and live comfortably.
Just when Wen Xia was thinking wildly, he heard a creak, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a little carrot head got in from the door.
Wen Xia recognized him as his younger brother Qin Jinyan.
Because he knelt on the ground and cried for the elderly Qin family, now Qin Jinyan's eyes were red and swollen, and his forehead was bruised.
When he saw Wen Xia lying on the bed with her eyes open, the frowning little guy finally smiled.
He said to Wen Xia with excitement on his face.
"Sister, you finally woke up! How are you now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing Qin Jinyan's words and looking at his eyes full of concern and worry, Wen Xia resisted the discomfort and answered:
"I'm fine now, there's no big problem."
Then she thought of the young man lying on the ground and asked hurriedly: "Where is your brother? How is he?"
Qin Jinyan, who was originally in a relatively calm mood, couldn't help crying again after hearing Wen Xia's words.
"Sister, wuwuwu, my brother was taken away by them."
Although she had thought about this situation before she passed out, Wen Xia still felt a little sad when she actually heard the news.
First, I feel sad for the people in the second house's family. Their only strong worker was taken away like this, and their lives will definitely be even more miserable in the future.
Another reason is that I am worried about my future life.
"Where's mother? How is she now?" Wen Xia asked next.
"Mom is still crying in the house. She is crying very sadly. Just now, I actually asked my mother to go out to cook, but I drove her away. Now that my father and brother are gone, I am a man and I have to protect you."
He was obviously still a little kid, but the expression on his face was full of solemnity when he said this.
Wen Xia knew that Qin Jinyan was not just talking, but really felt that as the only male in the family, he should take the responsibility of protecting the family.
So she said solemnly: "Sister is a little dizzy right now, and it looks like she will need to take care of her for two days. These days, I will ask you to take care of mom. No matter what excessive demands are made by mom or other people in the family, you and mom will definitely do it."
Don’t agree.”
Qin Jinyan nodded very simply and promised: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely take good care of my mother."
