The village chief felt that what Tang Wanwan said made some sense. Only a fool would not want such a good opportunity. Who wouldn’t want wealth that fell from the sky? What’s more, everyone knew about the situation of Tang Wanwan’s family. Their family
But they were short of money. Although Tang Wanwan generously bought Xishan with five taels of silver, who knows if this will be their entire property.
"Hey, that's such a pity. Tell me what tricks that Wang family has done. One moment they say there is a master behind them, and the next moment there is a problem in the salt factory, and they are helpless."
"Then what will they do if they still can't figure out a way at the end? Do they really have to be imprisoned for the rest of their lives?" Tang Wanwan asked to see how Chief Tang and the others would deal with those who deceived them.
Wang family.
"It's not that easy. Of course, it will be sent directly to the government. But in this way, we in Tangjiacun will be in bad luck. We took the salt order from the court but couldn't hand it over. Isn't that the crime of deceiving the emperor?
But he wants to destroy the nine tribes."
"What if I spend money to buy it elsewhere?"
The village chief couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Who dares to eat such a large amount of fine salt? Ten thousand taels a year, which does not include the amount needed by the people of this tribe. You can calculate for yourself how big a vacancy this is."
"Ah Wan, I know you are very smart. I don't care what grudges you had with your uncle and aunt in the past. Please put the overall situation first. If this matter passes, everyone will have something to eat. If you can't get through it, everyone will have to pay attention.
Let’s go to the guillotine together.”
"Okay, the little girl will do her best." After Tang Wanwan came out from the village chief, she went to find Tang Ruyue.
Tang Wanwan asked Tang Xiaoyi to go back and tell her mother that she was doing errands for the village chief and would go back later. Tang Xiaoyi couldn't help but look at her sister and pursed her lips and said: "Sister, where is my little man? Aren't you going to teach me how to do it?"
"I'll teach you how to do it, but Tan Ji, as you saw, is closed. My sister has to go to another carpenter's shop to buy wood for you. So I'm going back later today."
"Then why didn't you tell mother directly that you went to the carpenter's shop?" Tang Xiaoyi looked at her sister with two big grape-like eyes and asked in confusion.
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but glance at her brother and said, "Kid, don't ask so many questions, just do as I say."
Tang Xiaoyi couldn't help but curled her lips and said, "I understand everything you said. I'll go back and tell my mother right now."
"Hmph. You always say that I am a child, so why don't you say that I am a child when you ask me to do things."
"Then let Golden Retriever accompany you, so you won't be angry."
"That's pretty much it." Tang Xiaoyi was indeed happy.
Tang Wanwan went to knock on the door. Before Tang Ruyue came out, she saw Mr. Tang coming out. He looked at her and said, "Girl, come here."
Seeing that it was grandpa calling her? She walked over. "Grandpa, do you have anything to do with me?"
When the old man saw Tang Wanwan coming, he couldn't help but said: "Ah Wan? Grandpa has watched you grow up and knows how smart you are. But what you did this time is indeed a bit too much.
Sorry. Are you making things difficult for Xiaoyue like that today? The folks in the village are watching. What on earth do you want to do?"
"I do what I should do. Xiaoyue volunteered to help me chop bamboo? No one forced her."
The old man couldn't help but look at his granddaughter, and said meaningfully again: "Ah Wan, I know you have complaints about your family, and grandpa also wants to complain to you, but your grandma has always been in charge of me. I will definitely speak for you if I have the chance.
"
Finished? He then said: "When you go in later? Be polite and just say a few words to her. Don't make her angry."
Tang Wanwan was also speechless about her hands-off grandpa. He was obviously useless, but he still pretended to be righteous. What do you mean, I am being controlled by your mother? You, a grown man, can really be controlled by a woman.
Are you stuck, as a parent? You want a bowl of water to be balanced, do you understand?
Tang Wanwan didn't say anything anymore. Instead, she opened the curtain and walked into the house.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw something dark in front of her. Tang Wanwan felt a strong wind hit her face. She immediately dwarfed and hid.
Then there was another sound, and a big broom was hit on her head. This time, Tang Wanwan did not avoid it, but grabbed her directly, and faced off with Mrs. Zhang.
"Mistress, what do you mean? You hit me when you come in. You have to give me a name. If you hit me when you come up without knowing it, people who don't know will think you are guilty of committing a crime?"
"What did you say, you stinky girl? Just repeat what you just said." In fact, Mrs. Zhang's meaning was indeed correct by Tang Wanwan. She just wanted to give Tang Wanwan a blow so that she could continue in the future.
Honor her. When she knocked on the door of the old man's house, he asked the old man to call Tang Wanwan over.
She was waiting in the room with her things, just waiting to catch her by surprise first and then by surprise as soon as she entered the door.
But she didn't expect that Tang Wanwan was no longer the little girl who knew nothing, and how could she be bullied by this pious mother-in-law.
"I said, if you dare to lay a finger on me again, I will immediately make Tang Jianshu lose his job in the Yamen."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Zhang's voice rose in her throat.
"Do you need me to repeat it again? I am very familiar with Mr. Feng. Today, I went out with Wang Dagui and the brothers to do something. Unfortunately, I also made a small contribution. You think if I were here
Let me mention the family affairs in front of the adults, how you treated our family and how you deducted my father’s funeral expenses. Will they suspect that there is something wrong with my fourth uncle’s tutoring and his character?”
"How dare you?" The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face changed obviously. The hand holding the broom kept shaking.
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle, and took the broom out of the old lady's hand. She continued: "The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Anyway, I have no scruples now. There is nothing I dare not say. Also
Ah, I also heard that my fourth uncle often made mistakes in the yamen. Do you think that if I mentioned this again, Mr. Feng would fire him immediately?"
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but slowly raised her head and looked at the beautiful girl standing in front of her, as if she had never known her before. She had porcelain white skin, a beautiful face, and even a pair of very cunning eyes.
"You are not my Awan, who are you?" Mrs. Zhang suddenly said sharply.
Tang Wanwan continued to laugh. "Mom, you are so confused. I am no longer your granddaughter. You don't remember. We have already separated."
"So you see, if I accidentally said something or did something, it was completely unintentional."
"You, get out of here."
Seeing Mrs. Zhang frantically holding a broom to drive her away, Tang Wanwan ran away faster than anyone else.
"I'm leaving. Once I walk out of this door, don't regret it."
