Chapter 566 Conscription

妯妯's conversation is full of gunpowder, even if the relationship is quite good on weekdays, at this time, they can't help quarreling with each other.

After all, no one wants their husbands to be drafted into the army.

It's a question of whether it will be possible to come back, not to mention how many years it will take to come back.

The villagers who were in chaos and shrouded in panic and sadness sighed secretly in their hearts, I don't know how many people will never come back after this!

But this is the will of the imperial court. As a subject, you only have to obey. How can there be room for bargaining?

"Alright, alright, let's all leave, go home and discuss with the family. All lists must be reported to the county within five days, and we will leave at the end of the month at the latest."

"You don't have to be too nervous, it's just conscription. I asked about it. It's quite peaceful in the north, and we haven't fought a war for several years. This conscription is just because many veterans are too old and can't serve anymore. We have to be demobilized and return to our hometown, and we need to replenish the number of frontier troops. It doesn’t mean that we have to go to the battlefield. We Daqing Guotai Min’an, how can there be so many battles to fight?”

"At most, the people who go there are just suffering a little while training. But for us country folks, isn't that the case with farm work on weekdays? What's there to be afraid of? We'll be back in a few years. , when the time comes, you'll learn something and come back, what's wrong with it?"

"The relatives who stay at home don't have to worry, I promise, the village will take good care of your family for you!"

"It's all gone, go home and discuss it well. They are all blood relatives. If you have something to say, don't make trouble! They are all big men, there is nothing to say!"

"Go back!"

Listening to Li Zheng's words, everyone who was anxious and anxious, such as those who couldn't find a bird on the branch, felt a little at ease, or shook their heads and sighed, or frowned, or expressed deep sympathy, or secretly rejoiced and went home.

Su Jin smiled and said to Qin Lang: "Fortunately, it has nothing to do with our family. Although our family does not meet the conditions, but we are from outside, we can count as a share and pay two hundred taels of silver."

Qin Lang was a little distracted, he didn't hear Su Jin's words at all, Su Jin said with a smile, and then he came back to his senses, nodded casually and hummed.

The next day, Mrs. Zhao came with her two sons crying and begging Su Jin and Qin Lang for help. She has two sons, and she is reluctant to let either of them go to the army. As long as Su Jin and Qin Lang are willing to help, she would rather let Qin Fang reconcile. But in exchange, Qin Fang had to leave half of the dowry to the Zhao family.

Mrs. Zhao didn't plan to return all the dowry to Qin Fang, but she knew that it was unrealistic to keep all of Qin Fang's dowry despite her pain.

Su Jin and Qin Lang, where are these couples so easy to provoke? If it was really annoying, they would not have driven them away from the farm in Xikou Village at that time.

And how long has Qin Fang been married to their family? It would be impossible to say that all the dowry was spent.

Therefore, she can keep half of Qin Fang's dowry—and she will spend a lot of money to manage it at Li Zheng and the patriarch, maybe she can. It is no doubt a dream to want to keep them all.

These two are rich and powerful, and I heard that they know the high-ranking officials in the city.

If they really want to do something to her Zhao family, she has no chance of winning.

Not to mention, just look at how they dealt with Fang, Liu and Fang's family.

When it comes to relatives, my own family is not even as good as Fang and Liu.

Mrs. Zhao is a very shrewd person. She is good at calculating and knows how to choose. She is definitely not just a lotus flower, and she can only splash.

Now that the matter of conscription has come to an end, their two sons are definitely going to one.

Of course she was reluctant.

The eldest has no son, only one daughter. It will take at least five or six years, or even seven or eight years, right? How old will you be when you come back? How to have a son?

The second child is even worse. If he is here, he will not even have a daughter-in-law.

She couldn't let it go.

Besides, her two sons have such an honest temperament, and if they leave her, they might be bullied to death by outsiders. She had been worried for them since she was a child, and never thought that they would leave her.

Really left her, what can they do?

She won't be able to sleep at home.

Therefore, the two hundred taels of silver are settled.

But when she thought of taking two hundred taels of silver, Mrs. Zhao felt a pain in her flesh.

Two hundred taels, not twenty taels.

Qin Fang's dowry can't be taken up, and another 200 taels has to be spent. How will you live in the future?

Don't say anything else, the second child has no daughter-in-law, so he has to marry another one, right?

Still have to spend money?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhao could only bring Zhao Liang to find Su Jin and Qin Lang.

She was willing to take a step back and give Qin Fang and Li Shu, but the Qin family had to help out with the two hundred taels of silver, and then left half of Qin Fang's dowry to the Zhao family.

Mrs. Zhao felt that she was already very generous, and she was already willing to give He Lishu, so the Qin family couldn't refuse to take any loss.

Mrs. Zhao didn't come here. Su Jin didn't think that it was a good time to persecute the Zhao family. Since Mrs. Zhao came to the door herself, how could she have the final say?

Qin Fang's dowry is still required in full. If it has been spent, it will be converted into silver, and the Zhao family must compensate according to the price.

As for Helishu, she would rather spend one hundred taels of silver in exchange.

If the Zhao family wants to be exempted from conscription, they will pay another hundred taels themselves.

One hundred taels of silver, it is impossible for the Zhao family not to come up with it.

Su Jin gave 100 taels of silver notes to Mrs. Zhao for the compensation from Ruan's family. She hadn't heard of Zhao's family buying fields or building a house. Besides, Mrs. Zhao was so stingy, the money was definitely not spent.

adds up to exactly two hundred taels.

Mrs. Zhao was sobbing and crying. Su Jin negotiated with her and whispered to Qin Lang, asking him to bring a few people to Zhao's house, take the dowry list, and control Qin Fang's dowry first. All those boxes and cages were carried to the main house in Yangliu Village, and they were counted according to the dowry list. Even if Mrs. Zhao went back and wanted to do something, it was too late.

If you don't take this opportunity to do things in one fell swoop, you won't be able to have this store after passing this village.

Qin Lang nodded, called a few tenants, and took Wangchun with him by the way, riding a horse-drawn cart and an ox cart, and headed straight to Yangliu Village.

So, when the mother and son Zhao returned to the village, they almost fainted when they saw Qin Fang's dowry that had been evacuated.

Mrs. Zhao yelled and scolded the eldest son and his wife for being useless. How could they just let people break into the house and **** all the things in the house? Are you wood? Won't stop it?

The eldest son hugged his head with a sad face, and discerned weakly: Stop it, but it's useless, I can't stop it.
