Since the other party is a landlord, the land he owns must not be a small amount, so he will have to pay a lot more taxes.

The less food you have, the less taxes you have to pay.

For this way of evading taxes, osmanthus originally disagreed.

However, now it is different from the past, even if the landlord pays the tax, he may not have these two or three catties.

And if you can't raise enough food to survive the winter, then you can only wait for the imperial court to allocate food.

But with this allocation of grain, no one can say how much 10,000 catties of grain can finally reach in their hands.

In this way, it is better to fulfill the landlord now, and it can be regarded as helping Mu Shaohua solve a problem, although it costs some money, but he has the bottom in his heart, and he has to say that it is a win-win thing.

Mu Shaohua saw that Osmanthus did not immediately agree, although he was disappointed in his heart, he also felt that it was okay, "There are two kinds of old grain, one is two years of old grain, and the other is three years." The landlord's family said that two years of old grain cost 20 yuan a catty, and three years, 15 yuan a catty. ”

It's not cheap.

Osmanthus pursed her lips in her heart, secretly thinking that the landlord was really not an ordinary black heart, and the price of old grain was so high.

"Cheng, Uncle Mu, you first help me inquire about how much food there is, and then I have to calculate the money I have in hand, if it is not enough, I am afraid it will be gone." Osmanthus didn't say anything to death, he didn't expect that it would involve the landlord or something, so he dared to say that he wanted food, but now, Osmanthus has to keep an eye on it.

Mu Shaohua responded, and in the past two days, he really wanted to ask how many catties of grain there were, otherwise even if he wanted to work hard to sell out, he would not have the confidence in his heart!

Coming out of Mu's house, Chu Yannian drove the ox cart back to Qinhe Village directly.

And when I arrived at the gate of Qinhe Village, I heard that Chu Yanyi was back.

Chu Yanyi, who is now a Xiucai, can be said to be the pride of the old Chu family, and in the entire Qinhe Village, it is the first glory.

As soon as Chu Yanyi came back this time, Chu Zhenghai and Xu were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and when they walked on weekdays, their waists were obviously straighter.

As usual, Chu Yannian washed the ox cart, fed the cattle, and then sent it back to Guan Dashan's house, while Osmanthus went home directly with an empty basket.

As soon as she was at the gate of the Chu family, Osmanthus heard bursts of laughter from the main house, and it was not difficult to hear from the laughter that the three people in the main house were there, and there should be a few elders in the mountain and the village.

Osmanthus shrugged, not feeling anything, just put the empty basket under the window, and then entered the house.

"Mother, I'm back!" Osmanthus shouted, and then directly opened the door curtain and walked into the big house.

But as soon as Osmanthus entered the house, she was startled by the scene in front of her.

I saw Mo's, Meihua and Chu Yande sitting on the kang, and Yu's and her two girls were also sitting on the side of the kang.

Almost all of these six people had the same facial expression, that is, they were holding handkerchiefs, or they were directly wiping their faces with their hands, and they were all there to wipe their tears.

"What's going on?" Osmanthus was taken aback, it was obviously fine at noon, why did it become like this in a blink of an eye?

When Mo Shi saw that Osmanthus was back, he hurriedly wiped his eyes twice with a handkerchief, while the others also wiped their tears and looked up at Osmanthus one after another.

"Say! What the hell is going on? What's wrong? Also, what about my father and my fourth uncle? Osmanthus noticed that none of the men in the family were there, but the women and children were crying in the house, which was not good.
