After the village chief Gu Changan and Zhao Dezhi left, the people of Anle Village were furious again. Everyone looked at Lin Jiuniang with admiration. Taxes have been reduced for three years. Do you know how much food and money this saves for everyone? Now plant crops.
For example, when growing rice, one acre of land can only produce two to three shi of grain. It still requires a good harvest year to produce three shi, but one shi will be levied in taxes. Therefore, once there is a disaster year, heavy taxes will force the people to
If you can't survive, you have to sell your daughter, son or other things to survive. Lin Jiuniang fought for three years of tax exemption for everyone. For the people of Anle Village, it was a matter of universal celebration. In the next three years, they will not have to worry about taxes.
He was so worried that he couldn't straighten his waist, let alone sell his son or daughter. Zhao Dahai was now completely convinced and looked at Lin Jiuniang with a serious face, "Lin Jiuniang, from today on, I, Zhao Dahai, will obey you. Who will say anything in the future?"
If you say anything bad, I, Zhao Dahai, will be the first one not to let him go."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Others expressed their opinions one after another, and they all looked at Lin Jiuniang with admiration. No matter how many things you do, it is not as important as being exempt from taxes for a few years. Lin Jiuniang waved her hand, disgusted, "Don't talk so eloquently, so as not to be slapped in the face. I'm not here for this.
You guys, I’m doing this for myself.”
She did not forget that her family still had four acres of good paddy fields and two acres of wasteland. "No matter what you say, we will remember this kindness."
Zhao Dahai looked serious. After the disaster, what was the most difficult thing? Having nothing to eat and having to pay taxes. Unknowingly, most people in Anle Village regarded Lin Jiuniang as their backbone and praised her for her good deeds.
Of course, there are also people who dislike Lin Jiuniang. For example, Li Dazui. Seeing how everyone was respectful to Lin Jiuniang, Li Dazui became so angry that his face twisted. The prouder Lin Jiuniang is, the more recognized she gets by others.
She became even more unhappy. She couldn't help but said angrily, "Obviously, we all contributed to bringing the water down. Now it seems that Lin Jiuniang is the only one to take the credit. Isn't this a bit too big a face?"
Are you here to torture me again? Lin Jiuniang was about to speak, but Zhao Dahai interrupted her first. "Li Dazui, I found that you deserve to be beaten! You were punished for breaking the ditch, and you still don't know how to repent. Now.
Jiuniang has fought for us not to have to pay taxes for three years, but you are also bitter. If you are asked to pay taxes, you will be happy, right?"
"I really don't know what you are so upset about! Besides, it was Jiuniang who found the source of the water, and it was Jiuniang who came up with the method of diverting the water. The credit is not hers, could it be this woman with a long tongue?"
Others echoed, accusing Li Dazui of deliberately looking for trouble. Li Dazui's face turned red with anger, and he yelled unwillingly: "Didn't I chop the bamboo or help? Aren't these achievements?"
"Yes, I cut less than two bamboos in one day, so I have the nerve to say it," one of the aunts said angrily, "Li Dazui, if I were you, I would shut up and say nothing.
.When you work, everyone knows what you are doing and how much work you do."
"So, please stop it. Jiuniang is kind to the village now. Whether you admit it or not, just stop being troublesome, okay?"
Faced with the accusations from everyone, Li Dazui was completely speechless this time, but his body was shaking with anger. Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows. Now that she is silent, many people are speaking for her. Is this considered a success? Her eyes are a little bit
He looked at Li Dazui sympathetically and said, "Li Dazui, if you really don't want to be punished, you can."
Seeing her eyes light up, Lin Jiuniang smiled: "As long as you and your family don't drink this water, you don't have to do it."
After saying that, under her angry gaze, Shi Shiran left. Why did she spend so much effort and do so many things? Naturally, it was just for this moment. When someone made things difficult for her, someone would step forward to help her.
Speak for yourself. The so-called kindness without asking for anything in return. Sorry, she must be rewarded. Under the admiring gaze of everyone, Lin Jiuniang returned home slowly. As soon as she lay down on the bamboo chair, Liu Sanni brought a
A bowl of cold water came over and he said, "Mom, drink some water."
Lin Jiuniang took the water and was about to drink it when she suddenly stopped and stretched her neck to call Liu Silang out. Then she whispered in his ear and asked him to pass on the message. "Mother,
Why do you want Shiro to tell them that the water flowing from the mountain must be boiled before they can drink it?"
After Liu Silang went out, Liu Sanni asked curiously. After all, when they were thirsty in the past, they would just scoop water from the water jar or well and drink it. If they boiled it, they would only do so in winter. "It's not just the water in the mountains that needs to be boiled.
Before you can drink it, water from wells and rivers must be boiled before you can drink it, because it is considered raw water. And raw water contains a large number of microorganisms, pathogens and bacteria that you cannot see, especially
Now that there is a drought, there are more of these things, and if you drink them regularly, you will easily get sick."
Lin Jiuniang chatted for a long time, and then she realized that Liu Sanni was looking at her blankly, and immediately rolled her eyes. What was she talking about? She waved her hand, "I don't understand, forget it, you just need to
Just remember to boil the water before drinking it."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and continued: "Go and take out the hoes and shovels at home and sharpen them."
The next morning, unlike others who were looking for food to fill their stomachs, Lin Jiuniang took Liu Silang and his sister and brother to look for food. Along the way, many people in the village greeted Lin Jiuniang enthusiastically.
Lin Jiuniang also responded slowly. She didn't stop until there was no one in the field. Liu Silang looked admiring, "Mom, you are so popular in the village now, everyone likes me."
Liu Sanni was also very excited and nodded sharply in agreement. She was happy that my mother was welcome. "That's because your mother and I are valuable," Lin Jiuniang replied a little casually, "So you two remember, if you want to be liked and respected by others,
You have to work hard to make yourself valuable.”
"When you have value, others will naturally respect you and want to curry favor with you, do you understand?"
"I don't really understand," Liu Silang said honestly, shaking my head. "Stupid, with a dull brain, not enlightened."
Lin Jiuniang was disgusted and said, "Think about it when you have time. Now start working. Plow the ground for me, pull out the roots of these plants and throw them away."
After saying that, he waved the hoe. The land should be cleared first, and planting can be done directly when there is water. This weather should not last for too long. It will take a lot of time to cultivate six acres of land. Hoe the land, naturally.
It was not difficult for Liu Sanni and her brother. But after hoeing for a while, Liu Silang, who transformed into a hundred thousand reasons, had another problem. Looking at the empty surroundings, Liu Silang was curious, "Mom, there is no water now.
, why do we need to hoe the ground at this time? No one else is hoeing the ground, right?"
Lin Jiuniang gave him a disgusted look, "Where did you get so many? Why? You just need to know that you can do whatever I say. Do you understand?"
Under the sharp gaze of Lin Jiuniang, Liu Silang was frightened, trembled, and quickly lowered his head to hoe the ground. After all, had he angered his mother again? When Liu Silang was wondering whether to apologize, Gu Dajun came from
He ran towards her not far away. As soon as he saw Lin Jiuniang, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Jiuniang, something happened over there at the water source. The village chief asked you to go over and help deal with it."
