My husband is a coward

Chapter 19

On the first day of October, the government office convened a meeting of Li Zhengjin government office from all townships under the prefecture.

Every household in every village is waiting for this year's tax news. After finishing the tax collection, this year's autumn harvest-related matters can be considered completed.

"I don't know how the taxes will be this year."

Yuan Huiru fed the chickens with rice bran and raised her neck to see if there was any movement in the village.

Normally, after going to the city for a meeting, he would immediately convene a meeting with the people in the village when he came back to announce the tax situation for this year.

Although she now has money on hand, she doesn't have to worry whether taxes increase or decrease, but after all, she has been working as a farmer for her whole life, and the major events of the year can only be tied to these two things.

There was no result for a long time, and I felt uneasy. I was afraid that the whole village was waiting for Li Zheng to come back for the meeting.

Huo Shu chopped two bundles of firewood and stopped when he saw Yuan Huiru still looking around.

There is a lot of rain in the south, and it has been raining every now and then since late autumn. When I woke up early this morning, there was a bit of wind, and the sky was overcast. It was not clearing up until noon, so it was probably going to rain again.

If this continues, there will probably be fewer sunny days in winter.

Huo Shu didn't care too much about taxes. He just felt that he hadn't seen Ji Taoyu for several days.

Ever since I came back from the city crying that day, it seemed like I had never left the house since I got home.

Now there is no news about the Ji family and the You family in the village, and everything seems to be calm.

Fortunately, I had observed it secretly that day, otherwise I would have thought that the Ji family was willing to compromise and continue to hold on to the golden turtle son-in-law.

The whole village seemed to be mainly focused on taxes, and no one in the village was talking about anything else.

"Where will the rally be held?"

Yuan Huiru was stunned when she heard Huo Shu's voice and didn't realize what he was asking.

"You're talking about the tax gathering. Everyone in our village goes to Li Zheng's house, and each household must have at least one representative. If you don't like these chores, I'll just go there when the time comes."

Huo Shu said, "Taxation is the top priority for farmers. I will go with my godmother."

"If you want to go, that's fine."

Yuan Huiru thought that Huo Shu was tough-looking and taciturn. He rarely talked to her when nothing happened, let alone the villagers.

Now that you have settled in the village, it is also good to move around more and attend one or two gatherings to show your face, so that you can integrate into the village faster.

It was almost noon when Ji Yangzong came back from the city. Anyone he met on the way to the village would be notified in advance to go to his home for a gathering in the afternoon.

The long-term worker of the family who had not notified the family went to each house to notify them. However, at noon, every household was preparing for dinner and there were people at home.
