Chapter 230
Chapter 230
The yard, which was still busy, suddenly became quiet. The village head who followed him jumped in his heart and subconsciously looked at Lao Zhou's head.
The question was asked too suddenly. Lao Zhou couldn't control his facial expression for a moment, twitched and didn't speak.
After a while, there was a sob.
Old Zhou turned his head rigidly and saw that his old wife was covering his face and crying. He finally recovered and lowered his head to wipe his tears, but his hands trembled slightly.
Qian raised his hand to beat him, lay down on him and said, "you are incompetent, otherwise my uncle can't sell himself. Why don't you have the ability to have so many children? How can you let me see my mother-in-law in the future..."
Qian became more and more angry and used more and more strength. Lao Zhou didn't resist. He squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and was beaten by her.
"My mother-in-law told me to take good care of my uncle before she left..."
Zhou Dalang and others cried.
Man Bao, who knew nothing, was stunned. Then he regained his mind and hurriedly stopped his mother to help her father block some attacks. "Mom, don't hit your father..."
But man Bao didn't stop Qian for the first time. Qian, who had been lying in the hospital bed for a long time, suddenly became very strong. He pushed man Bao aside and slapped Lao Zhou's head. Two slaps directly hit his face. His cheeks turned red and the slap marks were clear.
But the three people who asked were indifferent and frowned.
One of them couldn't help yelling, "stop and ask you. Honestly, where's your brother named Zhou yin?"
The village head also recovered. He hurriedly said, "officer, officer, Zhou Yin, I know. He sold himself as a slave when he was 14. After so many years, I don't know where he has been. Don't you stab my uncle and aunt in the heart?"
His eyes fell on the village head's face and asked with a calm face, "really?"
"Yes, yes, the whole village knows this, and what's there to hide about selling?" The village head said, "you don't know. In the seventeen years of Dade, we had a severe drought. It wasn't just a drought for a month or two. It was directly from the beginning of spring drought to the beginning of autumn. There was no harvest in the field. Everyone had no way to live. You can see that uncle Jin's family was crowded. It wasn't fatal at that time? Seeing that the family was going to die, Zhou Yin sold herself and came back in exchange for a bag of grain. "
Man Bao knew for the first time that she had an uncle, and she was still such a poor uncle.
Selling himself as a slave, my uncle still doesn't know where to suffer. No wonder my mother is so sad. No wonder my father doesn't hide.
Seeing that the three were still aggressive, man Bao was not happy. He directly blocked in front of the village head, raised his cerebellar bag and asked, "didn't you come to count the number of people and give subsidies? Why do you ask so many questions? "
Man Bao also vaguely felt wrong and asked Koko in his heart, "are they from the government?"
Corcorton said after a moment, "yes."
Man Bao was very surprised. "Are you really here to give subsidies? They won't give my family a subsidy because I quarrel with them? "
"No, so not."
"Ah?" Man Bao thought for a while before she understood the meaning of this. She stared round her eyes and jumped up directly. When she was about to shout something, she remembered that master Bai had just taught her. When she came to her mouth, she became, "are you a liar? Otherwise, why don't you go to the ground and only come home to check the disaster?"
In fact, there was no need for man Bao to shout. When they asked Zhou Yin, the villagers knew that most of them had been cheated. Who came from the government, let alone to check the disaster.
They didn't know what the drunken man meant. They were not at home. They only knew that their purpose was impure, so everyone's complexion changed and looked at the three with a wary face.
At the same time, the news spread quickly. The villagers who were waiting for the official at home or had been checked and had gone home to prepare evening food put down their work and drove the women and children home. The young men all made hoes and rushed to the Zhou family.
Some old people who heard the news also calmly rushed to Lao Zhou's house.
The three people who had wanted to use the force to suppress people couldn't help pausing when they saw the villagers gathering outside the wall.
The three of them know kung fu, but their fists can't rival four legs. Besides, it's not just four legs. The men of the whole village came and surrounded the wall.
Even the big donkey, who was not very harmonious with the man Bao family, came with a hoe.
The atmosphere was stagnant and neither side spoke for a moment.
Mr. Zhuang pushed the crowd to the front, frowned and asked them, "you said you came down to check the disaster under the instructions of the imperial court. Do you have official documents? Who delegated it? "
"Who are you? Do I need to tell you?"
"I'm just a white man, but unfortunately I've studied in the government. Maybe I know the person you say."
Of course, the three know Mr. Zhuang. They checked it before they came, but that doesn't mean they will answer him.
Seeing that the three did not answer Mr. Zhuang, Zhou Dazhu took a step forward and said aggressively, "you shouldn't really be a liar?"
"I'm afraid it's really a liar. How can there be such a good thing that everyone can get subsidies, even dolls? It's obviously a lie."
"We've all been so miserable. It's too shameful for you to cheat."
"That's right. Catch the people and send them to the county government!"
Seeing that they were losing control, they immediately put their swords in front of them and said, "what do you want to do? I tell you, we are the imperial court officials. If you dare to hurt you, the imperial court will send a large army to annihilate you. "
"Who are you kidding? You said you were the imperial court's appointed officials. Then you told Mr. Zhuang, who are you? Do you have official documents and who appointed you?" Zhou Silang wanted to make things big. Mr. Zhuang said it again. He remembered it, followed it again, and then encouraged everyone, "villagers, let's catch people first. Maybe the county government is still wanted for them. If we catch them, we may receive a reward."
As soon as everyone listened, their eyes turned from anger to light. Reward~~
The three people were startled, pushed away the crowd and were about to run. They stopped quickly, and the scene was out of control for a moment.
Qian finally stopped crying. He took man Bao into his arms and protected her from the battlefield. Seeing Bai Shanbao standing foolishly on one side, she pulled it over. Little Qian and others immediately stuffed their own children into the house.
Liu did not expect to get out of control so quickly. He was anxious to find his grandson. He saw Qian stuffed man Bao in one hand and Shanbao in the other.
She breathed a sigh of relief, clenched Mammy's hand and whispered, "let's go out and let them."
At this time, old Zhou tou was grasping Zhou Dalang's hand and said quietly, "you can't let them go, you have to leave them."
Zhou Dalang trembled, "can you stay later?"
"Leave it alone. You must leave people behind."
