My new medieval family (Patreon)

- They what? ... Are they leaving ?! (Joanna asked, right)
- Looks like that (muttered little girl Margarita)
- Do something (Joanna turned to her husband Howard)
- What can I do?
- But we can't stay here! That's bullshit! It is not right! Hey! Stop!
Under the wary glances of the already disgruntled crowd of people from the village, Joanna ran to the side cursing her long hair, which covered her eyes and uncomfortable medieval wooden shoes, on the way, but two of them on horseback had already galloped into the forest.
- Stop, stupid woman! It will only get worse! You can't do this with the Lord's guards! You will make us worse! (Shouted different people from the crowd in the village square)
Joanna, Margaret and Howard are a middle war family of peasants living on the land of the lord and forced to give the earl almost everything they had due to high taxes. They weren't always like this, two days ago they were one of a group of time travel volunteers. Under the contract, they had to simply participate in the experiment and live only one day in the Middle Ages. Such experiments were not rare in the 21st century, but few people took part in them. We can say this was the first experiment in which civilians were allowed.
As usual, things went a little off plan. Howard's body was supposed to be received by Mark, an 18-year-old darling of fate and the son of one of the richest people, but by coincidence, he ended up in Joanna's body, which Anna, a 20-year-old history student, was supposed to receive. Anna was surprised to find herself in the body of a little girl, but she was not as hysterical as Mark, who in the beginning was just wildly shocked by this and threatened that he would sue everyone and go to jail. In Howard's body was Suzanne, a 38-year-old woman who also thought she would end up in the body of a peasant woman. Everyone knew that they would receive the bodies of these people, but deviations in the physics of time travel are possible, and for this, experiments were needed.
According to legend, horse riders officially came to this family to collect taxes, but in reality there were employees of the time travel bureau in their bodies. It was all over today. It was a difficult day for a new family, but even Mark in Joanna's body still coped with the task and with disgust, but put on Joanna's dress in the morning and pretended to all their neighbors that he was Joanna, although on that day he did nothing and went outside only a few times.
The riders gathered everyone on the square, collected a tax, and when they were next to them, they said that there were some problems and they needed to continue living here for some time. It was not the time and place to argue and the riders foreordained them, but Mark could not resist and began to shout. It was strange for all those present that the behavior of a peasant woman who shouted at the Lord's riders so much - it was simply unthinkable, she could be immediately killed here for such behavior. If the riders hadn't calmed Mark in Joanna's body, things could have been worse, so one of them just hit her and told her husband loudly to calm his stupid wife.
- It is the lord's grace! If you talk like that again, then I will not stand on ceremony
It was enough for the people and everyone thanked the rider for his mercy and at the same time disliked Joanna for her bad temper, which in the future did not badly affect Joanna's reputation.
