"Of course. I have never been a good person!" Zhang Yuanli announced readily.

Gu Caining was amused by his arrogant virtue.

Seeing her laughing, Zhang Yuanli also laughed. "I didn't see that, you looked pretty good when you smile. You should really smile more."

Gu Caining skimmed his lips. "You are complimenting the little girl like me, so don't say it anymore."

"Okay!" Zhang Yuanli lowered his shoulders in frustration.

At this time, Gao Feng had already put down the things in the basket and came back to hand him the empty basket. Zhang Yuanli collected the empty basket, then went to the field to collect a basket of vegetables, and then took the two dogs back to town together.

In another two days, all the rice in the field was harvested. Gu Caining and Gao Feng beat the rice off the rice stalks, then dried and dried them. The government sent someone to collect taxes.

60% of the annual grain output will be handed over to the government.

Fortunately, the weather is good this year and the yield is good. In addition, they harvested several acres of land from Tian before harvesting, and now the rice in the fields is ripe. Now even if the tax is paid, the remaining grain is enough for them to eat enough until the harvest is coming. After the land is renovated and wheat is planted after winter, the food for the Black Wind and his son will be almost done.

At least the days ahead are safe enough.

"Thanks to you." The night before paying the tax, Gao Feng, Gu Caining and Wang Weizi settled the accounts together. After coming to this conclusion, he smiled at Gu Caining, "If I hadn't met you, I would have been a cow and a horse for them at that family!"

Gu Caining smiled faintly: "You have the ability to come out and be independent, but because the time is not right, but after meeting me, the time is coming! We will live a good life together in the future. This is the first year, and life will definitely get better and better in the future."

"Of course." Gao Feng nodded quickly.

Wang Xiaozi couldn't stop smiling. While rubbing Tongtong's head, he nodded: "I said earlier that you both are rich and powerful. This is just the beginning. Our lives will definitely be better every year! Ten years later, we will definitely be able to wear clothes and eat to open our mouths!"

"Grandpa, you're thinking too long." Gao Feng shook his head speechlessly.

But Gu Caiwei's eyes lit up. "I think grandpa is right! Dreams always need to be there, and with our ability, it is not impossible to realize them."

"That's it!" Wang Xiaozi nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Gao Feng bent his mouth upwards and showed a faint smile.

No words all night.

The next day, they packed the taxes that were to be handed over to the government in sacks. Gao Feng dragged the cart, Hei Feng continued to pull the cart in front with a child. Gu Caining supported him, and the two dogs pulled the grain to the open space at the door of the village chief's house, waiting in line to scale the grain and hand over it.

Just as everyone was queuing and talking, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in Shuangqiao Village beside them.

Everyone looked at each other immediately.

"At this time, if there is no New Year or Festival, what are they doing?"

Immediately a child ran over to watch the fun. After a while, the person came back and told them all the information he had found: "It's Mr. Chen from Shuangqiao Village. He is going to get engaged to the county magistrate's daughter. Today, their family has just prepared a betrothal gift and will be sent to the county town now!"

coax!

The crowd suddenly exploded.

When Gu Caining and Gao Feng heard this, they exchanged glances with each other, and both of them saw a touch of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Chen Xuran was attracted by the county magistrate and was about to choose a son-in-law. They had heard about this from Zhang Yuanli. However, they always thought that they had to wait until Chen Xuran passed the imperial examination before talking about it. But this year's autumn examination has been ruined, after all, Chen Xuran's arm is just right! As a result, they had already settled the matter so quickly, and they were going to hire now?

Even so, it was so popular that it seemed like I was afraid that others would not know.

Gu Caining thought about it seriously and then she smiled. "If nothing unexpected happens, he deliberately made it for us to see, and it is also for the villagers of Shuangqiao Village."

Gao Feng nodded. "Indeed."

That time, Chen Xuran took the excuse to go to the town because of a dog biting to death, and did not appear in the next few days. Later, when he came out, it was revealed that the villagers' attitude towards him was different from the respectfulness at the beginning.

Such a smart person would not know what the hearts of his fellow villagers are? But he claimed to be a scholar and did not bother to bow his head and apologize to those ants-like untouchables. Then, he could only think of using such high-pressure policies to force the fellow villagers to bow to him.

Originally, he was the only scholar in the village, and he was a noble scholar! Now he has become the prospective son-in-law of the county magistrate. In the future, with the help of the county magistrate, it is absolutely true that he has made great achievements!

Just because of this, what if everyone feels a little unhappy with him? Then shouldn’t they treat him like a Buddha?

He had no intention of solving the problem at all, but simply and roughly used his power to stomp the people's heads, and directly stepped on the head that had just been lifted up a little!

Now it seems that he has indeed succeeded and has suppressed public opinion. What can he do?

Because of this, everyone's dissatisfaction will only deepen. Over time, once it accumulates to a certain level... the consequences will be unimaginable.

Gu Caining has witnessed such things many times, and has captured them in history books. From a family to a country, it is mostly caused by the accumulation of various small problems.

But unfortunately, Chen Xuran is still young and energetic, and he doesn't take these untouchables seriously at all. Then, he will definitely pay the price in the future.

Just as they were thinking this, the sound of gongs and drums had already moved towards them.

Chen Xuran rode a tall horse with a band of beatings and beatings behind him, and then there were ox and donkey carts containing more than a dozen boxes of betrothal gifts. He was about to pass through Shuangliu Village to the county town.

Usually, if someone in the village gets a wife, the betrothal gift or dowry car is overwhelmed. As a result, the Chen family has opened more than a dozen cars in one breath! This is a big bustle, and the villagers of Shuangliu Village can't help but come over to see the new things.

Chen Xuran and his fellow villagers gathered around and pointed at the betrothal gift behind him. He sat on the horse with his chest raised, slowly walked to Gao Feng and his wife before stopping.

He looked down at Gu Caining and Gao Feng with a condescending look on his face: "Hey, we could go directly to the main road from our village to the county town, but there was no way. The main road was not as easy as the newly built road in your village! So we decided to temporarily borrow the road from your village to walk. And maybe we would borrow the road from your village when I get married. This is a great joy, and maybe we can also get you happy. You will definitely agree, right?"

This natural tone seemed to Gao Feng and the villagers of Shuangliu Village had been working on the road for several months, and they were specially built to marry him!

Gao Feng looked at him coldly. "There is nothing to disagree with. Lu Xiu came to walk just to go, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you." Chen Xuran immediately bowed his hand symbolically, turned his head, "Let's go!"

Then he stepped openly on the road in Shuangliu Village without even looking back.
