Chapter 1564: Generational debt (2)
Chapter 1564: Generational debt (2)
Magistrate Li knew that this was Xian Xieren’s way to cause trouble in the fief which was under her control and governance. Everyone knew about the terrible drought that was going on in the country and yet Xian Xieren went ahead and increased the taxes.
She even placed more pressure on Li Wan under the pretext that her fief was doing better than the other fief but the truth was that Xian Xieren was forcing Li Wan to bow her head.
Unless Li Wan admitted defeat and revealed where Xian Zhenya was hiding, she would not leave Li Wan or the Big River Town as well as the rest of the villages that were connected to Li Wan.
As long as she suppressed Li Wan through bitter means by targeting the commoners sooner or later the anger of the commoners was going to burst.
Because of this Li Wan wanted to protect the commoners as much as she could.
Yu Dong was one of the few persons who could help her in this process, so how could Li Wan let her be wronged?
She had to make Yu Linyun suffer and not only did she have to make her suffer, she would do it in such a way that others would think twice before causing trouble for Yu Dong.
Of course, they had to scare the villagers of the Big River Village lest they took side with Yu Linyun as the woman was very good at manipulating others.
Sure enough, when the other women who rushed to Yu Dong heard that they would be in trouble because Yu Dong could not pay the taxes on their account, they were stunned.
But soon their hearts were filled with fear and terror.
This Yu Linyun was not a good thing! She was the one who failed in teaching her son and now that son caused such a big stir. Even now Yu Linyun seemed to be refusing to accept her fault and was acting stubbornly.
Compared to her, Yu Dong was simply a saint. She had been paying taxes for the entire village and never made a show of it.
So how could they let someone who had worked so hard for them to be bullied by Yu Linyun?
Since she could not fight with the villagers, she could only hope that Yu Dong would take pity on her.
"I have an elderly father, a young sister and a bunch of people to take care of. How do you expect me to do everything with my meagre pay?"
Yu Dong said calmly, "I never said that I want to take your entire salary, you can decide the amount that you want to pay me every month and have it recorded in the yamen. They will calculate the number of years it will take you to pay the compensation back and if you cannot pay it then they will push it on to your next generation and the one next to it."
"It’s not like they are asking you to pay everything."
Yu Linyun choked and even the villagers turned silent, they turned to look at the woman who was crying. There was such a thing?
Yu Linyun was crying as if she had to hand out every single penny in her pockets!
"Yu Dong! Do you want my children and grandchildren to work for you like slaves? How could you suggest something so heartless?" Yu Linyun was looking forward to having another daughter and expanding her family.
But if she were to push the burden of paying the debts to her daughters and granddaughters, what would they think of her?
People left generational wealth for their children, don’t tell her that she would be leaving generational debt!
