Chapter 1582: Can’t Be Too Sure

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Such a precious thing was actually taken care of by him and his father. He was proud!

Zhang Dazhu was also very proud of their work. He touched the horse as if it was his son. “Needless to say, when I saw this horse, it was like they were made of money. However, it had been almost two months. Why aren’t they back? They should be here soon. The last time they left, they came back after two months.”

“I don’t know,” Zhang Shoushou said. “We don’t know where their house is. Otherwise, we can go and-”

However, before Zhang Shoushou could finish his words, he saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan coming to the back of the house through a small path on the side. He immediately called out to his father. “Father, Father! It’s them! Xue Yan and Jiang Yue!!”

“Ah, you guys are really here again!” Only then did Zhang Dazhu realize, “Haha, I finally know your timeline. I get to see you guys every time after two months!”

“It’s just a coincidence. We can’t even tell when we’ll be able to come.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I was just guessing.” Zhang Dazhu laughed. “You just arrived. Shouldn’t you take a rest? Are you going to use a carriage?”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.

“Shoushou!” Zhang Dazhu immediately shouted. “Hurry up and bring the wooden cart over!”

“Okay!” Zhang Shoushou ran over in an instant. The wooden cart was actually not far away, and it was brought over in a short while.

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue boarded the carriage.

“My husband and I are going to the prefecture. We’ll only be back in about half a month,” Jiang Yue said as they were pulling up the carriage.

“Oh, oh.” Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou nodded repeatedly, but their hands did not stop moving, helping them.

“If the government wants to collect taxes, don’t start a conflict with them,” Jiang Yue warned them after hesitating for a moment.

No one in Stone Village had a strong background. Once they start a conflict with the government, she and Xue Yan will not be able to stay in Stone Village. The ones who suffer the most will be the people of Stone Village.

As long as they could find irrefutable evidence from the magistrate, the issue of heavy taxes in Lizhou would be resolved very quickly.

Since it could be resolved soon, there was no need to start any conflict with the government.

“We were so poor in the past that we almost ran out of food, but we didn’t get into any conflict with the government. Now, even if we pay taxes, we can still survive. Our days are fine. We won’t get into any conflict with the government.” Zhang Dazhu chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Shoushou too. Shoushou is the most impulsive person in the village, so he needs extra attention. He doesn’t think about anything. If I hadn’t pulled him along, he would have fought with the officers who collected taxes last year.”

Zhang Shoushou felt a little wronged. He huffed and puffed. “They went too far last year. They took all our food and money. We’re almost out of food, and we don’t have money to buy food. We would have starved to death.”

“That’s why,” Zhang Dazhu immediately added, “We won’t starve to death. Besides, it’s better to live than to die. If we can live, we can fight for longer!”

“Father, you’re right.” Zhang Shoushou had a look of admiration on his face. “If those people come to collect taxes again, we will listen to them.”

“Good, good.” Zhang Dazhu was extremely happy that his son had learned something.

Jiang Yue had originally thought that Zhang Shoushou was impulsive and was most likely to have a conflict with the officers who collected taxes. Now that Zhang Shoushou didn’t have that intention, they could focus on their main mission.
