In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 455 - 454 You Should Take This Silver Money!_1

This delighted Su Pan’er no end!

No wonder she particularly liked Fei’er the first time she saw him. Now that she knows he’s her cousin, it’s an unexpected joy!

"Since my eldest brother is returning to the Capital City, he can bring some small gifts for Fei’er on his way. If I get a chance, I will surely go and visit him." What she didn’t know was if she’d ever get the chance.

"Rest assured, I’ll definitely deliver them."

Ye Han came and left like a gust of wind, arriving quickly and leaving just as fast!

On the second day after his departure, he left Yongze and returned directly to the Capital City.

Ye Han’s departure didn’t bring the slightest change to Luoyan Village.

People were still busy with the Autumn Harvest, and Hwa Diexiang, who was in charge of grain collection, arrived.

The Great Zhou Dynasty’s present level of taxation wasn’t particularly high, but it wasn’t low, either.

There were so many types of tribute taxes! All these taxes added up to a significant expenditure, causing many families to lament, almost at the expense of everything they owned.

These past days had been non-stop busy for Su Pan’er!

Since Qin Yi held an official position, he naturally didn’t need to pay taxes. From dawn till dusk, people kept coming to her, offering their lands to be registered in her name. After all, she had thousands of food salaries to receive.

She had the urge to refuse, but in the end, she couldn’t bear it, and almost half of the fertile lands in the vicinity were registered to her name.

It made her break a sweat.

However, this also led to trouble; Hwa Diexiang even personally came to her door!

Unlike Ye Han, Hwa Diexiang came bearing a smiling face, and greeted Su Pan’er in a familiar way: "Mrs. Qin, Hwa is here to bother you again!"

"You jest, Mr. Hwa County Official, please have a seat!"

As Su Pan’er ordered refreshments, she wondered about Hwa Diexiang’s intentions.

Hwa Diexiang directly waved his hand: "No need for refreshments. Today, I am here concerning the tribute taxes of Luoyan and Luoshan Villages. Now that the taxes of Luoyan and Luoshan Villages cannot be completed, it would be hard for me to explain to the County Magistrate. So, I had to make this trip!"

"Ah, it’s about that."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Su Pan’er replied: "It’s my lack of consideration that has caused trouble for the Hwa County Official!"

"It’s not that troublesome. However, this matter is indeed difficult right now. I kindly request Mrs. Qin to come up with a good solution."

Su Pan’er quickly clasped her fist: "I’d appreciate it if the Hwa County Official would pass a clear path."

With a faint smile, Hwa Diexiang moved his lips slightly and stated his suggestion.

Hearing this, Su Pan’er kept nodding in agreement.

"Good, we will act according to Hwa County Official’s plan!"

The next day, Su Pan’er announced that Luoyan and Luoshan Villages, which had nurtured her and husband Qin Yi, will have their taxes paid for by the Qin Family in gratitude. The two villages would be exempted from tribute taxes for three years!

This plan was the result of the discussions between Su Pan’er and Hwa Diexiang.

As the saying goes, "Clear liquor flatters the face, wealth captivates the heart!"

With the Qin family’s prominence and their offer to pay everyone’s taxes, they embodied the meaning of wealth bringing peace and happiness!

As expected!

As soon as the news spread, every time the villagers saw Su Pan’er, they wore warm smiles on their faces.

Her prestige in the village increased even more.

Meanwhile, the results of the Su Family’s separation process were also finalised!

Due to Su Pan’er’s arrangement, Su Lao Si, who was originally planning to accept a smaller share, ended up with his deserved portion in the end. His family moved out of the Su Family’s residence and into the house that Su Pan’er had prepared for Ke’er.

Along with them, Su Hai also moved out.

Everyone had originally thought that Su Hai would either follow the second or youngest household. His choice to follow the fourth households in the middle was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations!

But, it was also within reason!

After all, if a real problem occurred, the only ones he could rely on were from the fourth house!

Su Pan’er was naturally overjoyed at her grandfather’s arrival!

Upon learning of this news, she immediately went to welcome Su Hai, her face full of smiles. That night, she even hosted a small welcome banquet, entertaining everyone.

Su Hai appeared increasingly old. His hand holding the chopsticks trembled continuously, and he did not eat much, but his energy seemed to be fine.

"Pan’er! I’ve told you before, you have a good heart, and you are blessed..."

Su Hai sighed sentimentally.

If it wasn’t for Su Lao Si saving this foolish girl back then, who knows how the Su family would have fallen apart by now!

"Grandfather,’ Pan’er said solemnly, ’don’t ever say that again. After all, Pan’er is a member of the Su family."

"From now on, please stay here comfortably, eat and drink well. Don’t worry, future generations will have their own blessings. You should enjoy your peace and happiness."

"Good, good! Only the foolish girl knows how to talk, ha ha!"

Su Hai burst into laughter: "I’ve gotten old. From now on, I’ll take care of myself, waiting for the day I can hold my great-grandchildren and live out my old age peacefully."

Saying this, his eyes showed a touch of sadness.

It seemed like he was reminded of some past events.

"Good! You have to keep your word, grandfather!"

Su Pan’er laughed happily.

The grandfather she had been worried about, had finally moved in with her. This made her feel extremely joyful.

But the subsequent matter concerning Liu Zikang made her feel extremely uncomfortable!

Originally, Su Pan’er had thought that Liu Zikang would leave after being rejected.

But what she didn’t expect was that after being rejected by her, Liu Zikang first went and spoke to Su Lao Si and Mrs. Su-Hua.

Su Lao Si did not voice out his thoughts on the matter from beginning to end, but Mrs. Su-Hua mentioned this incident casually one afternoon, her face filled with rage!

"He unexpectedly threw out five hundred silver banknotes, it angered me until I was speechless! I couldn’t wait to take the silver and smack him in the face! My daughter whom I raised with great hardship is not for sale. It was only because I remembered he is your biological father, that I managed to hold back. What kind of people are they..."

Thinking again that Pan’er was someone else’s real biological daughter, Mrs. Su-Hua couldn’t help but give an apologetic smile.

"What about the banknotes?"

"Of course I didn’t take them, I left them there." Saying this, Mrs. Su-Hua was still rather furious.

"Mother, you really are silly!"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but laugh and say: "If he throws money at you next time, remember to take it. This money is rightfully yours. Since he can afford it, it proves that he doesn’t care about this amount of silver at all! Then why are you leaving the money for him? Instead, keep it and donate to the villagers for their taxes!"

"Oh my! How did I not consider this?"

Mrs. Su-Hua had a regretful expression, really pondering over the idea of keeping the silver banknotes: "Now that you mention it, it occurs to me. If truly kept, that silver would be enough for our family’s expenses for several years. I’m really not that silly!"

Su Pan’er nodded seriously!

"So, you should take the money!"

"But mother doesn’t want to accept it, especially since this money is..."

Mrs. Su-Hua spoke again, persuasively: "Enough, don’t mention it. Pan’er, don’t be upset. No matter what, he is after all, your biological father. If you wish to acknowledge him, your mother and father will definitely support you. Although I wouldn’t want to let you go..."

"Mother, please never ever say that again!"

Su Pan’er was somewhat irritated and changed her sitting position: "Pan’er is very satisfied with her life now and has no plans of acknowledging him!"

She was not a masochist, why would she want to acknowledge him?
