After thinking about it for a while, everyone understood Qian Laixing's motives. Back then, the Qian family and his wife were old enough to be supported by his parents, and they not only wanted to take care of the couple, but also provided for two scholars.
Qian Laiwen is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but not in reading.
Maybe they would stop studying if they moved to another family, but the old couple of the Qian family didn't think so, they had to think that their son was smart and would be able to excel in studies. But after reading, they still can't afford to support them, and all of them are on his parents. Therefore, if Qian Laixing is really such a ruthless person, he has every reason to persuade him that once the old man dies, no one will force his parents to take care of him.
His motives are not difficult to detect, and this is not important. What matters is the land that the villagers put under his name.
If he is really guilty, no one knows what will happen to the land under his name.
Maybe it will be confiscated
Just thinking of this made many people in the village unable to sit still.
Hearing this news, Li Qinghe was very surprised. What did the Qian family think? Even if the inside story was true, if she went to file a complaint, wouldn't she be tearing herself apart with the Qian family
No one knew what was going on in her mind. After the mother and daughter went to the town, they lived in the mayor's house because they dared not come back.
At the beginning, there were many people who put the land under Qian Laixing's name through Qian Shi. As long as she showed up, someone would definitely come to her to get the land back.
Such things as exempting food tax from the name of a scholar by themselves are things that the people will not raise officials to investigate, but it is indeed against the law and suspected of tax evasion. Therefore, even if Qian Laixing is taken away, before the judgment comes down, Everyone didn't dare to go and admit it voluntarily, they would only try to get the land back. If you want to get the land, you can only go to Qian Shi.
For a while, people in the village were in a state of panic, not to mention around Qian's house, they were surrounded by people day and night, afraid that they would run away, and some even came to Li's house to ask.
This is actually just asking, and I can't find Li Fu's troubles. If he didn't remarry, maybe he could ask. Now he has a wife and a daughter, and even a new son-in-law, and the new son-in-law runs back every day to help Li Fu's life here is prosperous, so he can't ask him at all.
Soon, Qian Laixing was escorted to the county seat. Because of this, many people in the village who had never been to the county seat in their entire lives also boarded the carriage to the county seat with money in their pockets.
Fortunately, those close to Li Qinghe knew about her grievances with the Qian family, even if they were moved, they didn't hang on to it.
Now that I think about it, I am glad.
Because of this, Li Qinghe deliberately took the child back to Li's house, the autumn harvest was coming soon, Li Fu was sharpening his knife, and there was someone beside him, who was the new son-in-law who often came to help as everyone had heard recently.
"Are you back?" Li Fu got up, turned around while holding his waist, "I'm old, my back is sore, hahahaha..."
It could be seen that he was very happy, Zhao Dashan also got up, "Sister is back."
Zhao Dashan looked burly and his face was tanned.
Seeing him, Li Qinghe felt a little complicated. She didn't expect to become his sister instead of his sister-in-law.
"Yeah." Li Qinghe smiled and said hello. Anyway, he came back to help Li Fu. It is better to have someone else do the work than he does it by himself. You must know that every year when spring plowing and autumn harvesting, it can be exhausting.
Liu Nizi went out with tea, and hurried to cook, insisting on keeping her for dinner.
The life of the Li family is as usual, and it is not affected by Qian's at all, so that's fine.
She didn't ask any more questions when she saw her, and went home after eating.
On the other side of the county seat, the magistrate of Lin County also summoned Hu Yanxi. After all, his testimony was the most effective.
In fact, Hu Yanxi only listened to what Qian Laiwen said, and he didn't know how he discussed with Qian Laixing. All I know is that the money for the funeral was spent by the two of them at the Hualou together.
The county seat is quite big for Luoyue Town, but there are only those flower houses. After checking according to the time, I found that the uncle and nephew did live in the flower houses during that time, but they spent all their money within a few days.
Even though Qian Laixing denied that he had never mentioned these things to him, the two of them spent money together and were still convicted as insiders.
If you do not report what you know, you will be punished as the same crime.
Therefore, Qian Laixing did not report what he knew, and was sentenced to death by hanging. As for the land under his name, because there were too many people begging for mercy, all of them were returned to each family, but each family had to pay the grain tax. In the next three years, the grain tax was doubled.
Speaking of which, the land is under his name, and the tax has not been paid even once, which means that he has not taken advantage of it. On the contrary, he has to pay three more years of grain tax, but everyone dare not make trouble anymore. He can get it back after paying three more years Land, I am very fortunate.
When the judgment over there came down, the villagers had already started harvesting. It was not so early, but the sweet potatoes had to be dug earlier, and the families were already busy.
Li Qinghe really had no choice, only Zhou Chengkang worked alone, not to mention Zhou's mother, the two of them ran to the yard in the town where Mrs. Liu lived, and usually made tofu at home, and now the autumn harvest began. There are many people buying tofu, and they are already busy.
And after they moved, all the land in the family was planted by Zhou's mother. Because of this, they were said to be the same as the second child, and they were not filial.
It means that the Zhou family divided the land into five shares, and Zhou's mother took two shares. Now she has three shares, the third and fourth children each get one share, and Zhou's mother gets most of it.
In fact, Boss Zhou is quite rascal in doing this. Zhou’s second child gave the land to his mother because he was recruiting a wife. He is the eldest son, so he just threw the land back to his mother and left it alone. Can the remaining two also return the land? Mother of Zhou, don't you care about her in the future
This is of course impossible, but if they don't come back, there's nothing they can do here. Everyone is busy now, so it's hard to argue with him.
Fortunately, Zhao Dashan has been helping Li Fu with his work since the autumn harvest, so Zhou Chengkang probably doesn't have to worry about it this year.
Because there are more sweet potatoes, the work of each family in the village is half as much as before. Li Qinghe wanted to hire people, and those people were willing to help her with the work, but they would not come out until their own fields were cleaned up. In the final analysis, their food was the most important thing.
At this time, a group of people came to the village, all of them were dressed in rags and looked dirty. The village chief stepped forward and asked, people are all here looking for work, and they give some wages casually, mainly to take care of the food.
The Yang family went to pick a few first, and Li Qinghe also went to find ten of them. Even other people in the village who were reluctant to invite others also ran to pick one or two. Even if relatives came to help with work, wouldn't they still have to feed
More than a dozen people ate like hungry wolves, and they didn't know how long they had been hungry. Li Qinghe ate up all the steamed buns.
But the work is also very good. After eating, he wiped his mouth and started to work after hearing the piece of land that Zhou Chengkang pointed out.
After five or six days of drying, all the sweet potatoes had been dug into the cellar, all the wheat had been harvested and taken off to dry, even the wheat stalks had been stacked according to Zhou Chengkang's wishes, and all the fields had been turned over. All the grass roots were taken out.
One day's work and one day's food, if the work is done, you can't stay. The more careful the work, the better, but you can't be lazy, so after you dig out the field, there are no large pieces of soil, and everything is fine.
Li Qinghe was also willing, there was still a lot of meat from the pig that was marinated last year, and he used a few catties to fry it with the vegetables every day, and the whole grain bun was enough, so these people became more and more reluctant to leave.
Yu Yan next door saw these people working, so she came over and assigned a few people to go there, and cleaned up the barren grass on her side, planning to plant in the spring next year.
Seeing that they were unwilling to leave, Zhou Chengkang took them up the mountain to cut firewood for two days. Five or six people went to cut firewood, and the woodshed was full in two days.
Now, there's really no reason to stay.
These people have been living in Li Qinghe's empty house for the past few days, and they brought their own bedding, just for food.
After so many days, she also knew that these people came from the county next door. Their homes were hit by disasters, and their crops had no harvest. Last year, they searched everywhere for work to fill their stomachs. This year's spring plowing has been planted. There is also a harvest. After the autumn harvest here is over, there should be food to eat when I go home.
Early the next morning, everyone packed up and left, but a couple inside found her.
In fact, even if people in the village go to the entrance of the village to pick people, they usually don't want women, but Zhou Chengkang is afraid that she will work hard, so he chooses a couple. The main job of the women in that family is to help cook every day, and then go to the fields.
Over the past few days, this woman is really diligent, and occasionally talks to her. Li Qinghe knows her maiden name is Chen.
After Mrs. Chen entered the door, she rubbed her hands and said, "Boss, you have so many jobs in your family, do you need to hire people all year round?"
Li Qinghe was a little surprised, "Sometimes." It was the time of spring plowing and autumn harvest.
"Then, can we stay?" Busily added, "Just like now, give us a place to sleep, and you just need to take care of the food."
