Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 419 Villagers Being Beaten

In this way, the family goes out early and comes back late every day.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

In the shop, when An Yue has some free time, she will teach Chunzhi how to check out customers.

Although Chunzhi is illiterate, she is quite smart. An Yue only needs to give her a few pointers and Chunzhi will remember them quickly.

I heard two days ago that officials would come to Baili Village to collect taxes today.

An Yue was afraid that her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer would be unable to handle the situation at home with Xiaobao.

So, An Yue arranged for Chunzhi Ale, grandmother and aunt to go to the shop first.

She and Daniu stayed at home, waiting for the officials to come and collect taxes.

It was just the hour of Chen.

From the yard, I could hear someone shouting on the road.

An Yue walked out of the courtyard gate and saw that the villagers and the officials were arguing.

An Yue and Daniu walked towards the main road, only to hear a young man from the village shouting, "Hurry up! The police are beating people."

"Someone come quickly! The police are beating people!"

An Yue stopped the boy who was shouting and asked quickly, "Brother Erping, what happened in front?"

"Sister An Yue, you should go home and hide! A group of officials came to the village to collect taxes, and the Wang family stopped them on the main road. Without saying a word, the officials started beating them."

After hearing this, An Yue was very puzzled.

"Let's not talk about it for now. I have to go inform the village chief first." The boy shouted as he ran.

Upon hearing this, the villagers all rushed to the east end of the village with their farm tools.

When An Yue heard the young man talking about the Wang family, she muttered, "Could it be..."

In the past, when officials came to collect taxes, they never beat anyone even if the villagers refused to pay.

Why are the officers so ruthless this time?

She ran towards the group of people, and Da Niu followed closely behind her.

An Yue heard someone crying from afar, "Someone, come quickly! The police are beating people, come quickly!"

An Yue ran two steps at a time and soon arrived at the scene.

Wang Keer's father, Wang Zhengmin, was lying on the ground. Aunt Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, cried out, "Hurry up and help! The police are beating people."

An Yue ran up and asked with concern: "Auntie, what happened to uncle?"

Aunt Wang cried and pointed at the officials and cursed, "Yueyue, go home! These sons of bitches are totally unreasonable."

An Yue frowned and asked, "Did they beat up my uncle?"

"Yes! They asked us to pay grain tax and taxes. Your uncle only said that we should wait until the village chief arrives before paying the grain tax."

"They were not happy to hear this and forced us to hand over the grain and taxes immediately."

"Your uncle started yelling at them, and then out of nowhere, a group of them suddenly rushed over and started beating and kicking your uncle."

When An Yue heard this, she became furious.

She stood up and faced the group of officials, and asked loudly: "Everyone, you are so arrogant in broad daylight, do you still have the law?"

The leading officer glanced at An Yue and sneered, "Where did you come from, you country girl? I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business here!"

"Paying taxes is a matter of course, but they are shirking their responsibilities and hindering us from performing our duties. Shouldn't we teach them a lesson?"

An Yue asked back without flinching, "Even if it's about paying taxes, there should be reasonable rules. How can you beat people up at will?"

At this time, a man walked out from behind the officer.

An Yue felt that the man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

The man slowly walked up to An Yue and asked provocatively, "Little bitch! You gave me a hard time looking for you! Humph! I didn't expect you to live in this village!"

At this time, Daniu stepped forward and stood in front of An Yue, and said to the man unceremoniously: "You...you keep your mouth...clean!"

The man looked nonchalant and asked provocatively, "What will you do if I don't?"

An Yue listened carefully to the man's voice and then she remembered.

It turned out that before the natural disaster, An Yue and Chun Zhi were selling raspberries in the town, and he brought a few people to collect protection fees for the stall.

As a result, the son of the salt merchant did not receive any stall fee, but was beaten up by An Yue instead.

An Yue snorted coldly and said with disdain: "You street thug! Do you want to be beaten again?"

The man felt extremely humiliated when he heard An Yue call him a 'street thug'.

He gritted his teeth and gestured with his fist towards Anyue.

As Daniu's tall and sturdy body approached him, the man couldn't help but shrink his neck and took a few steps back. He bravely said, "Just wait!"

An Yue laughed and said, "What's the matter? You are no longer a little rascal? Instead, you have changed your career to become a lackey of the great official?"

The man was a little mad and said, "How can a man endure this?"

Just at this moment, the village chief Li Huairen led a group of villagers, young and old, men, women, and children, and rushed over from the west end of the village.

When Aunt Wang saw the village chief coming, she cried even louder: "Village chief! You are finally here, you have to make a decision for us! These lackeys are unreasonable and just beat people up as soon as they come up."

The village chief rushed over and went to see Wang Zhengmin.

The village chief squatted down and asked with concern: "Zhengmin, where are you injured?"

"Uncle Li, they asked us to pay taxes, and I just told them to wait for you. Without saying a word, they rushed up to me..." Wang Zhengmin recounted the story with a painful look on his face.

The village chief turned to his son Li Jing and said, "Jing'er, help your brother Wang up quickly. The ground is cold, don't let him get cold."

Li Jing and two other men from the village came forward and gently helped Wang Zhengmin up.

The village chief walked up to the official and asked angrily, "What are you doing? Are you planning to rob us?"

The leading official bowed and said, "Calm down, village chief. It's all my fault for not supervising my men well enough."

The village chief put his hands behind his back and asked, "Just saying this is the end of it?"

"Village head, we didn't mean to hit anyone, but... it's just that this time the county magistrate issued a strict order to us, ordering us to transport all the taxes back to the county."

The village chief snorted coldly and said, "The county magistrate's strict order is not a reason for you to beat people up!"

A woman standing in the crowd cried and lamented, "Oh, God! The weather is getting colder now. If there is no food at home, how can we, the old and the young, survive?"

Another woman also stood up and cried out in response, "These rotten assholes who rely on others for power come here to plunder every once in a while. It would be better for them to kill me with a knife!"

A group of officers were so angry at the woman's curses that they drew their swords from their waists and pointed them at her.

One of the officers shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, you shrew!"

A group of villagers behind him were not to be outdone and also picked up farm tools.
