As the eldest son of the third house, Tang Zheng naturally knew the situation at home.

When it comes to food, the topic is back to making money.

Tang Junjie, who had been silent for a while, continued: "After my son-in-law died in battle, the court gave me a pension silver. We don't know how much, but there are still five taels of silver when I get to A Rou. Because of these five taels of silver and houses, my son-in-law's brothers forced A Rou to remarry.

Arou lost her husband just now and her two children are so young, how could she remarry at this time? She disagreed. The Zhong family used methods to kill people and even smear her reputation. If it weren't for the fact that a few women in the same village could not see it, Xunkong told me when he was in the market, I wouldn't know that her life in the Zhong family was so difficult."

When Tang Jun was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, he slapped the table hard, "Damn it! Second brother, why don't you say such a big thing? If you talk about our brothers and A Zheng and the others, you will definitely deal with the people in the Zhong family so that they don't even dare to let go of their farts!"

Tang Rou even swallowed her teeth to defend Tang Junjie: "Uncle San, I won't let my father tell you... First, if things get bigger, I'm still in the Zhong family and the children are young, and our lives will definitely be even harder after you leave. Second, you are busy, and I don't want to make things difficult for you again..."

"What are you talking about?" Tang Jun was so angry that his beard was about to rise up. Unfortunately, he had no beard. As he said that, he glared at Tang Junjie again and complained: "If you don't say the eldest niece, you can let her do whatever you want, and let someone bully you for nothing!"

Tang Junjie sighed again and said weakly: "What can I do? Arou's parents-in-law are still there, and the word "filial piety" is pressed down. How can she resist? In addition, the two children are surnamed Zhong. As long as the Zhong family threatens Arou with them, Arou can't do anything.

After knowing that the other party only wanted the family fortune, the father and daughter combined it and simply gave them the pension silver as a condition of exchange, both children had to follow us.

If it were a common age, the Zhong family might hesitate, but now every household has no food and cannot raise these two young people. If the children are left, they will sell them. We will make trouble, and the Zhong family will not be easy to be a human being.

After weighing the trade-offs, the Zhong family promised us to take away our two children, on the condition that the pension and the house and land must be kept. Everyone signed the documents and went to the yamen to stamp their handprints. In the future, Arou and her two children completely broke off their relationship with the Zhong family."

When everyone heard this, they were silent and they were cut off. They couldn't make a fuss anymore, but it was really annoying to hold it in their breath.

After a while, Tang Junsheng breathed a long breath and said frustratedly: "Forget it, don't be too sad for the eldest niece. It's better not to have such a relative. It just so happens that the two children changed their surnames to Tang, and my second brother is not afraid of no successors in this room."

"I didn't think so much, but you arranged it clearly." Tang Junjie was a little amused and crying. He looked at Tang Rou and the children and said Youyou: "The problem now is not these, but the war. When the Yamen went to the Zhong family to report the death, he once said a lot, as if this was the defeated battle, and almost all of our troops were wiped out, and even the commander of the army was killed.

The border is very messy now, and there are all kinds of people. What’s more important is that I found out some news that the court seems to be recruiting soldiers again. We are closest to the border, so we will definitely not be able to avoid military service. I am the only one in our family, and it’s not the same. But your family has three, and this year is the fifteenth. If the court documents come out, you father and son must go one.

Not only your family, but also one from my elder brother. This military service is probably going to go but not back. I've been furious these days because of this matter."

Tang Junjie had long wanted to tell Tang Junsheng about this, but he didn't know how to mention it. After all, the news has not been released yet. What if it was fake wouldn't it make people feel scared? If it was true, it wouldn't be able to avoid this matter, which would be worrying and sad.

Tang Junsheng and his son both turned pale because of these words and were speechless for a long time. Tang Ning was quite calm and asked Tang Rou: "Cousin Sister, are those yamen servants saying something else?"

Tang Rou shook her head honestly, "I was hit hard at that time and my whole mind was blank. I remembered that because the other party comforted me, I remembered it in my heart. The more I thought about it, the more I felt wrong, so I said to my father."

Tang Junjie said slowly and sadly: "As soon as A Rou said, I hurried to inquire. I was a train driver, and I had many people, and there were also some rumors. After military service, I also found out other news that the court had to collect grain and iron in addition to recruiting troops."

"What!" This time, even Tang Ning was not calm, and she grew up and exclaimed: "Is the imperial court crazy? The grain in the first half of the year was scattered, and the harvest in the second half of the year was not good. Where can we give food? And what is this iron collection?"

Don’t blame her for not knowing her. She didn’t learn history well before, and she never read the novels and even levies. She is really blank now.

Tang Junjie looked as usual and said, "It is normal for you little girl not to know. The court usually only collects grain. The iron is to charge a few kilograms of iron for each household. This iron can be a kitchen knife, a big pot, or other iron-made farm tools. It is rare to collect iron. I have encountered it once when I grow up so old."

Tang Junsheng has recovered at this moment, but his voice sounds trembling, "It's all the time to conquer the iron, and we don't know if we can still keep it here! Besides, how many iron tools can every household have now? That's all the things that are surviving. They've been collected and how do we want everyone to survive!"

The seven-foot-foot tough guy couldn't help but shed hot tears at this moment. The mature Tang Zheng was so scared that he had no idea.

Tang Ning threw half of his body on the table and looked at Tang Junjie with a gaze, "Uncle Second, what should we do now? My father and my elder brother definitely can't fight. They are okay with a serrated knife. Let them go to the battlefield and kill the enemy is to die!

Besides, my mother worked hard in the fields day and night and couldn't get much food. She didn't know how to spend this winter. If all the food was collected, our family would have to drink the northwest wind!"

"Girl, stop talking..." Tang Junjie winked at Tang Ning helplessly.

Tang Ning then realized that Tang Junsheng was about to faint from worry. She was so scared that she hurried over to hold on to the person and racked her brains to comfort her: "Dad, there is no way out. If we really can't get through, we can escape. Anyway, we will starve to death if we stay here sooner or later."

Perhaps because she is not a native and has no obsession with roots, she is thinking about how to avoid these messy things, and she can say whatever she wants in her heart.
