Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 280 The Shen Family's Long-Term Business Collapses

I originally thought that with so many men in the Qiao family, there was nothing to worry about.

Who would have thought that after Song Lao San returned as a captain, he would choose to make things difficult for the Qiao family.

The two siblings rushed into the Qiao family yard.

Their steps became weak and they all fell to the ground.

Before he could take care of himself, Mu Xinghe looked around nervously and saw the Qiao family members with surprised faces.

"Xinghe, what's wrong with you? Is there a ghost chasing you?" Old man Qiao said in surprise.

Everyone hurried to help the two siblings up.

Mu Xinghe looked around and saw Qiao Xier. She was fine, nothing happened to her.

He was stunned.

Then, the stone in my heart was relieved and I was filled with excitement and joy.

It was as if a large, heavy dark cloud had dispersed, revealing the blue sky and sunshine.

"Wow, it's great that you're still here. I heard that Song Lao San wanted to kill you. Wow." Mu Xingyue burst into tears.

"I am really scared."

Qiao Jianer held her in her arms and touched his head: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a false alarm."

"Where are my uncle and second uncle, and where are my eldest brother and others?" Mu Xinghe discovered that all the men in the Qiao family were not there.

"They have joined the army and are following General Chu. They are now going to the camp to register." Qiao Yunni said.

"Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have become small soldiers."

Mu Xinghe was stunned. He didn't expect that this situation would happen in the blink of an eye.

It's been a roller coaster ride.

He immediately realized that the Qiao family had submitted a letter of allegiance to a general in order to save their lives.

The Qiao family members are naturally strong and good at fighting. Anyone would be willing to recruit them to strengthen the team.

"That's good, that's good." Mu Xinghe took a deep breath and exhaled.

Qiao Jianer gave them the magic water to drink, and the two of them felt that most of their strength had been restored, and their feet were no longer sore. They couldn't help but look surprised.

There must be some strange medicine in this water.

"You guys stay here for lunch." Feng said, putting another bowl of rice into the pot.

"Yeah." Mu Xinghe was still a little frightened.

When we were in Gouzi Village, we heard that the knife was placed on the necks of the Qiao family members, and no matter how the villagers kowtowed to Song Lao San, it was useless.

Many villagers came to the door and brought eggs, ranging from a few to a dozen.

"Although your Qiao family is fine, they were frightened. Their home was just expropriated, and they don't have much left. Please accept these eggs."

"No, no, the children have become soldiers. We are lucky in disguise and are very happy. We are not afraid at all. You can take all the eggs back. We will remember your kindness." Old Mrs. Qiao said firmly.

"So many things were confiscated. Even a little bit is enough to make a meat soup. This time, we definitely won't take any."

"Otherwise, you are just trying to make things difficult for me, an old woman, and want to make me feel uneasy." Old Mrs. Qiao said it a little more seriously.

The villagers had no choice but to put the eggs away.

"It's good that you're still here, it's good that you're still here. Everyone is worried to death."

"Song Lao San became a captain and thought he could protect the villagers, but he turned out to be a beast who came to the village specifically to establish his authority and oppress his fellow villagers."

"Dayong and Dacheng have become leaders of the small army. I hope they will continue to strive for excellence and climb higher to protect their fellow villagers."

"Don't worry, we in the Qiao family won't teach animals to behave like animals." Old Mrs. Qiao said, "If anyone dares to behave like an animal, I'll break his legs first."

These villagers who left had bruises on their foreheads, which were caused by kowtow.

Old man Qiao sighed: "There are still many good people."

The family that was hit the hardest by this tax levy was not the Song family, but the Shen family.

Apart from the Qiao family, the Shen family was the richest family in the village. Of the 8,000 kilograms of grain they harvested, more than 5,000 kilograms were taken away. Of the 3,000 kilograms of rice being sold in the shop, more than 2,000 kilograms were taken away. A total of 400 taels of silver were also taken away, more than 200 taels.

The Shen family was unaware of the risks and did not take precautions in advance, so the family business they had built over the years collapsed.

In addition, the rice is still on credit and the debt needs to be repaid.

There was less than one hundred taels left in the family fortune.

The Shen family originally planned to open another big shop, but it is basically impossible within a few years.

Qiao Jianer did not feel gloating, but instead felt sad.

At this time, no matter how disgusting the person is, he is still an ordinary citizen who works hard to farm and do business. To have so much of his wealth plundered away from him is simply terrifying and chilling.

I also thought of the moment when the knife was at my neck, my life was hanging by a thread, and my whole family was in danger.

Apart from submitting her allegiance to Chu Zhuo, does she have any other options?

I don’t know what progress Zhao Lizheng’s report on bridge building and river digging has made.

She hoped for a good result, and she didn't want the rewards of silver and cloth. It would be best if it could bring a bonus to her status.

In ancient times, identity was really important and could determine life or death.

The collection in Datian Village was completed, and the team left in a horse-drawn carriage pushing grain.

Qiao Jianer found Chu Zhuo and said, "Brother Chu, lunch is almost ready. Let's go to my house for dinner. My uncle and brother will be back soon. Let's all get together."

"Well..." Chu Zhuo hesitated a little: "Miss Qiao, I'm busy at work, I'm afraid it's not convenient. How about next time, when I'm free?"

"That's fine." Qiao Jian'er said, "Then Brother Chu must come next time."

She also knew that Chu Zhuo was inconvenienced, but he had helped the Qiao family a lot. When it was time to eat, she would always come and call him. If he couldn't eat this time, he could eat next time.

A carriage hurried to the intersection. When Chu Zhuo saw the carriage, his face was slightly stunned.

Then, a woman in a goose yellow dress came down. It was Shi Murou.

"I heard something happened to the Qiao family. Someone put a knife to the Qiao family's neck. Chu Zhuo, how did you do it? You actually allowed this to happen. Where are they? How are they now?"

Shi Murou looked anxious.

"Everything is fine. The men of the Qiao family followed me and became my subordinates. Of course I have to do my best to protect them." Chu Zhuo comforted Shi Murou softly.

"really?"

"If you don't believe me, go to the Qiao family and see for yourself. They killed more than 30 of Song Lao San's men."

"That's great! Song Laosan is worse than pigs and dogs. He is from Datian Village, but he treats his own villagers so cruelly."

Qiao Jianer came out from the side: "Sister Shi."

When Shi Murou heard the word "sister" and saw the little girl standing in front of her, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She opened her arms and held Qiao Jianer in her arms.

"Little girl, you don't know how scared I was when I heard the news. I was afraid I would never see you again."

"You are my lucky star, nothing must happen to you."

Qiao Jianer's eyes were hot.

Shi Murou was so worried about her.
