Chapter 512 I really want to thank you, a bunch of vagrants!

The farm, which used to be peaceful and quiet, was now filled with countless noises as the wind grew stronger. The deliberately suppressed voices of discussion mixed together with the chill of the grass and trees being blown by the cold wind.

A long queue that stretched as far as the eye could see formed in the open space at the entrance of the farm, and the people standing in it all had nervous and panic-stricken faces.

These people decided to leave anyway.

Half an hour ago, the surface of the granary that was burned by the fire was roughly cleared, and what came into view was a huge iron plate with a few large characters written on it in blood-red cinnabar. The viciousness and coldness stung everyone's eyes.

The entire Xu family will be destroyed.

Every word was vicious, like the most shameful murderous intent and evil thoughts gushing out from the depths of hell, making people feel inexplicably cold in their hearts. It also completely confirmed the rumor that the Xu family was being retaliated against, and became the final force that pushed people to make a choice.

If most people were skeptical about the claim that the Xu family was being targeted for revenge before this piece of iron plate was discovered, then when it was confirmed at this moment, the last bit of hesitation in their hearts also dissipated.

Making money to survive is important, but the premise of everything is that you are still alive.

No one knows who the Xu family's enemy is, nor can anyone guess how powerful the enemy hiding in the dark is, but it is obviously not worth it to throw away one's life here for a little money.

If you leave here and go somewhere else, you can continue to make money and survive, but if you continue to stay here without knowing the consequences, your fate may be uncertain.

It was difficult for the people with restless minds to calm down. Suspicion and fear were like a spark that fell on a haystack and ignited when it encountered wind.

The leaping fire swept away the last bit of calmness in people's hearts. Many people seemed to feel ashamed to face their former employers. When they walked into the queue, they subconsciously turned their heads away and did not look at the reactions of the Xu family and others not far away.

But the number of people waiting in line for registration has visibly increased...

Xu Wenxiu and others had no choice but to be busy for a long time, settling the injured and distributing things. They had just stopped to take a break when they saw this scene and their eyes turned red out of control.

I feel angry and heartbroken, panicked and helpless.

It's not surprising that people want to survive, and it's also normal to be afraid.

But knowing full well the current situation of the farm, he ignored the many favors the owner had given in the past and the life-saving grace during the disaster years in the past, and even refused to give three to five days of relief. This is simply a living wolf's heart and dog's lungs!

Aunt Xu said instinctively: "We can't let them go!"

"Xia Xia's greenhouse was just built, and they're short of manpower. We had agreed earlier that they would stay, but now they're gone. So..."

“Let them go!”

Second Aunt Xu's eyes were filled with haggard bloodshot. She grabbed Third Aunt Xu's trembling hand and said through gritted teeth, "If people's hearts are not united, it's useless to force them to stay."

"If we stop them now, the trouble will only get worse."

The current situation is so urgent that they have no time to think about the future.

So many people were in a hurry to leave. If they showed any intention of stopping them, the already raging and scorching scene would only become more chaotic.

The situation that has finally stabilized cannot be broken!

Aunt Xu took a deep breath and turned her head away, unable to bear looking any longer.

Second Aunt Xu's red eyes slid across the face of the person who dared not look her in the eye, and her voice was hoarse: "It's just that if you leave now, it won't be so easy to get a repeat customer in the future."

"Her second aunt is right."

Xu Wenxiu took out the last piece of candy she had and placed it in the hands of a crying little kid, saying softly, "Our Xia Xia is soft-hearted. From the past to now, she has never been able to gain any benefits from these people."

"It's good that the child has a kind heart, but how can all the people who come out of the same house be good people?"

If the harmonious and prosperous society that Sang Zhixia wants to create becomes a fantasy, the lady of the house who comes from a wealthy family will not have to worry about not being able to find ways to control her subordinates and intimidate them.

A cold expression crossed Xu Wenxiu's usually soft and smiling face, and she spoke each word with emphasis: "Those who leave today will be forgiven for their past."

"If you want to come in again in the future and can't produce the indenture, then don't bother making a fuss."

If Sang Zhixia had been more ruthless before and collected the indentures one by one according to the rules, why would we be in such a mess today?

Servants whose indentures are held by their masters have no control over their own life and death. How could they be allowed to turn against their masters and add fuel to the fire of Sang Zhixia's efforts?

Xu Wenxiu's rare ruthlessness made Mrs. Xie, who had been following him all night, stunned for no reason. Then, a sudden realization came to her mind that this was how it should be.

Although the people standing beside her treat others kindly now, they were all once the mistresses of wealthy families. How could they lack means?

It's just that I didn't want to say much in the past. How could I endure such humiliation today?

No one heard the conversation in this corner, but as the line in front of the farm gate continued to move forward, a completely different scene was unfolding in the other corner of the farm.

Most of the people here were covered in black ash and smoke, and their tattered clothes were dirty and wrinkled from being rolled in mud and black ash.

Even the original marks on his eyebrows and eyes could not be seen. He looked as if he had just been taken out of the stove, and traces of fire could still be found on his body.

Some people's hair was mostly burnt, and only half of their eyebrows were left, making it difficult to tell their appearance.

Their eyes were also filled with unspeakable fear and tension. They were so scared that they could not speak clearly, but they did not join the noisy crowd in front of them. They just buried their heads here and spontaneously did some work to help, without stopping their hands at all.

The man, his hair a mess from the fire, flew up in agitation. His fingers were cracked, blood mixed with black and gray. He wiped his face, leaving an indistinguishable black and red mark. He said in a hoarse voice, choked by smoke, "Let's go?"

"Where are you going?"

"There was a severe famine that year. My father starved to death at home in order to save a mouthful of food. It seemed that none of our seven family members could survive, but we are all alive now."

"It was the Sang family who didn't think our lives were worthless and gave us something to eat. We had a bowl of porridge every day, and our whole family survived on that bowl of porridge."

"Without the Sangdong family and the Xu family, where would my family come from?"

The man sniffed and struggled to move the pillar that had collapsed and was blocking the way. He grinned, trying to find joy in the midst of suffering: "The lives of all seven of us in my family were saved from the brink of death by the Sang family with just a bowl of porridge."

"If I really die here, then at the very least, it's just repaying her for saving my life. What do scholars call that?"

An illiterate boy raised his hand excitedly and said, "I pledge my love to you!"

"Fuck your father! Is this how you promise your body to someone?! Aren't you afraid that the men from the Sang family will come and kill me, your uncle?"

The people sitting randomly in the open space to catch their breath burst into laughter, and in the rare moment of relaxation that had occurred that day and night, they echoed, "That won't do. The Xu family kid is targeting our Sangdong family. You're definitely going to get ripped off if you have such a crooked idea."

"Boy, this is called repaying a favor, you know?"

"Our lives were saved by the Sang family, and now that they're in trouble, we can repay them with our lives. This is... what's it called?"

"Eat grass and build a ring?"

"Blood splattered three feet?"

Xu Tongsheng: “…”

"I really want to thank you, a bunch of vagrants."

Xu Tongsheng, also covered in black smoke, passed by and clutched his pen, saying angrily, "That's called tying a ring with grass! Pay with your life!"

"Don't teach the little boy bad things! Giving yourself to someone isn't repaying a favor, it's revenge!"

"You guys hope our boss is doing well!"
