Chapter 165： female household

Li has long been annoyed with Sun. The Sun family has changed since they became rich. They walk around the village to show off, and dare to look down on her. Every time they see her, they dislike her in all kinds of ways. , Lai Pile's marriage nearby, who made Wang Lao Si's family rich!"

Zhu Lan recalled encountering Wang Lao Si several times. Every time she saw her clothes were different. She was afraid that others would not know that she was rich. Sun's jewelry was also changed. Wang Laosi's family has long been attracting thieves to patronize, "How did you see Wang Laosi's reaction?"

Li shook her head, she really didn't see it. If she hadn't met the Wang family's daughter-in-law, she wouldn't even know about the clan. "No, but there is a good-faith mother-in-law who will go to Wang Laosi's house to watch the fun. Mother, should I go and find out?"

Zhulan didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Lao Si's family, so she stopped Li's hatred, "No need, tomorrow is your grandparents' birthdays, you go back and pack up the clothes you wear tomorrow, don't be in a hurry."

Although Mr. Li was gossiping in his heart, he changed a lot and suppressed his curiosity, "I'll go back and take out the clothes Ming is wearing."

In the afternoon, Zhulan could hear the liveliness of the Wang family without inquiring. Although she didn't really hear it, she also heard Wang Ru's threat in a trance, and the commotion stopped after a while.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but go out for a spin and soon came back, sharing the excitement she saw, "Wang Laosi was so famous that he beat Wang Ru, and the two even took away the jewelry in Wang Ru's bedroom. It's all been robbed, and there was a commotion just now, Wang Ru is a really powerful girl, and people don't really want to set up a female household on their own!"

Zhao shi teased his son, "Wang Laosi must have returned the jewelry again, he can't do without Wang Ru, the cash cow."

Li's heart is not very good. My younger brother and sister can talk about the point every time. Why can't I catch up with my younger brother and sister when I feel depressed? Mrs. Li said sullenly: "Well, not only did I pay it back, but I also beat Mrs. Wang and Zhang. Wang Ru said that their family tree is gone, and Mrs. Wang Zhang is no longer a grandmother, so it's hard to be ruthless!"

Zhulan thought to herself, Wang Ru might not be happy, anyway, she doesn't like her brother, what does her brother's future have to do with her? I was so angry that I wanted to clean up Wang Zhang's family for a long time, but the female household was daydreaming.

It is not easy to establish a female household in the new dynasty. There are strict regulations. Unmarried daughters are required to have no grandparents and parents. As the eldest sister, they have to set up a female household. Married widows can set up a female household. Why is this strict, all because the number of female households will decrease For the land tax, only 1.5 percent of each mu of land needs to be paid, and the sons of female households will be exempted from military service.

Therefore, the two widows in Zhoujia Village have set up female households, and they have no intention of remarrying. Even if there are no men, the annual reduction in land tax is a considerable amount of income. As long as they are not lazy, they can still save money a year. for children to read.

Zhulan really likes this policy and properly protects the weak and weak of women.

It was precisely because of the strict conditions that Wang Ru's idea was in vain.

Early the next morning, there were many Zhou family members, and they borrowed the ox cart from the patriarch’s family. The two ox carts were full of people, and no one at home could look after the house. Zhou Shuren asked the patriarch, and the patriarch brought Zhou Wang’s family and his eldest son to help watch the house. , The Zhou family has a lot of things, and it won't work if you don't keep people watching.

This time, the whole Zhou family was dispatched, and it was rare that there was no one missing.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren spent half a year telling their parents with actual gifts that she really didn't need the subsidy, and the old couple stopped giving heavy gifts in return.

It was the first time that Zhulan's parents held a big birthday banquet, and it was the two of them together. Originally, there were quite a few children and grandchildren, and there were also great-grandchildren. There were enough of their own family. He doesn't bring his family with him, but he also brings one or two sons, as well as in-laws and relatives in the village. The Yang family not only has tables in the yard, but also outside the yard.

In the temporary stove and shed, there are only six people cooking.

The ox cart of Zhulan's family was tied up, and Zhulan and Zhou Shuren took their children into the main room.

Boss Yang greeted him and said, "My sister and brother-in-law are here, and I'll be celebrating my birthday in a while, and I'll be waiting for your family."

Zhulan said, "It rained heavily last night, and the ox-cart was slow, or it would have arrived earlier."

This is the result of the family going out early in the morning, but unfortunately it still took a long time on the road.

Boss Yang, "Mother is still talking about you when she wakes up in the morning, and the road is not easy to go."

Zhulan thought that it was not easy to walk. There were many mud pits, and they walked down a certain way. Fortunately, they were wearing black shoes, otherwise they would be able to see the mud, and they would be very embarrassed.

There are a lot of people in the main room. It's because the children have all gone out, and the younger generation is standing in the room!
