C1810 Poor Villagers

"The main thing we do is plant our land. Every year, there will be someone in the city to give us seeds and then plant our grain. However, every year, after it matures, it will be taken away by 70%."2

"What, take away seventy percent? Wouldn't you only be able to keep 30% of it? Is this enough for you? " Yang Tao frowned.

"There's nothing we can do if we don't have enough to eat. Sometimes, it's not enough to eat if we don't harvest well. We can only starve." Lin Qing said.

"Then why must you pay them seventy percent? Can't you pay them?" Yang Tao asked.

"We can't, we have to get the seeds from that side every year. If we can't get a certain amount of seeds, then they won't give us the seeds from the second year. By then, we will have to starve to death and leave the seeds from the second year." Lin Qing said.

Yang Tao thought, isn't this exploitation?

But there are very few beasts at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there are no dare to go in, and this year's harvest was not good, so yesterday, Uncle Lee from our village went out to hunt wild beasts. Until now, he hasn't come back, but I wonder how things are going? Lin Qing said worriedly.

"It will be fine, you are all good people, good people will be fine." Yang Tao comforted her.

"Lin Qing, I heard that you picked up a stranger outside and came to our village?" Just then, an old man's voice sounded. Yang Tao turned around and saw an old man with some wrinkles on his face walking towards them.

"Village Chief, why are you here?" Lin Qing hurriedly said when he saw the person. So this old man was the village chief of Yu Village.

"You're the one that Lin Qing saved?" The Village Head looked at Yang Tao and asked.

"Yes, I'm Yang Tao. I don't know what to call you." Yang Tao was also very polite. In his opinion, the people here were all very pitiful people.

"My name is Lee Dagui, I'm the village chief of Yu Village." Lee Dagui said, then said to Lin Qing, "Lin Qing, I know you have a kind heart, but this is a special period. A few days ago, I went to the city to hand in the food, and I saw a notice saying that Rebel would be apprehended.

"Village Head, Yang Tao is not Rebel." Lin Qing quickly said.

"Hmph, of course Rebel said he's not Rebel." At this time, a voice came from behind the village chief. It was Heihu, who had just left Lin Qing's house.

When he saw Lin Qing and Yang Tao chatting passionately, he felt jealous in his heart. He snorted coldly and then left, directly going to the Village Head's house, saying that a person of unknown origin came from the village and brought the Village Head over. Lin Qing did not listen to his words, but she did not dare to disobey the Village Head's words.

"Heihu, how can you be like this? Isn't it too despicable for you to be so secretive?" Lin Qing said unhappily.

"Sigh, Heihu is thinking for the village. No matter if it's Rebel or not, for the safety of the village, it's better not to leave strangers like you with unknown origins. Since you've recovered now, quickly leave our village." Lee Dagui said.

When Heihu heard this, a trace of pride appeared on his face. Lin Qing panicked and quickly said, "Village Head, Yang Tao hasn't completely recovered. He's lost his memory now. If you let him leave now, wouldn't you harm him?"

"Hmph, you even believe in the excuse of amnesia. If he did, how would he know his name?" Heihu said.

"If you lose your memory, you can also remember some things, especially your own name. It's very normal to remember it." Lin Qing said.
