Chapter 610 Take the opportunity to find out
The village chief's face was so wrinkled that he almost smiled.
"What, we finally have new people in our village?"
"Great, I've been looking forward to this day!"
The refugees from Beihe County were immersed in joy. They followed the Jiang family into the village and greeted the village chief until they heard the laughter.
The village chief was smiling, but after seeing their disabled bodies, he froze, and there was only heartache in his eyes.
The refugees followed his gaze, thinking that he was worried that they were disabled and couldn't do their work.
So they all patted their bodies and said in a lame accent, "Being blind and deaf doesn't stop you from farming. Even if you lose an arm, you still have the other hand. You can still hoe, take care of the rice fields, and do anything."
The village chief's eyes were wet and he patted their shoulders.
"We farmers are willing to endure hardships. I believe that!"
"Don't worry, the Jiang family is the kindest. You have fallen into a blessed nest when you come here. There are still good days ahead!" The village chief was moved and encouraged everyone.
Old Li and Widow Gu also came out at this time. After learning about their situation, no one was dissatisfied and took the initiative to take everyone to familiarize themselves with the village first.
Doctor Wu had just finished drying herbs and was carrying a basket. He was shocked when he saw them.
Where did so many disabled people come from?
It was too pitiful.
Seeing this, Jiang Fengze hurried forward to explain the situation and begged, "Doctor Wu, if you have time, please make some prosthetic limbs for them, so that they can live a better life."
How could Doctor Wu not be willing? After wiping his eyes, he suddenly felt energetic and said, "Okay, a doctor should cure diseases and save lives. It seems that my old man will be of great use now."
The rice fields on the farm are neatly arranged. When the spring breeze blows, the breath of the earth with vitality blows on your face, which makes people feel excited.
At this time, the original tenants of the manor came out to watch the excitement, unaware that they were about to be caught.
Mrs. Feng took out the money bag from her sleeve and handed it to Fengnian.
"Big brother, we don't keep idle people in our manor. These lazy people can be sent away now and let them vacate the land!"
The tenants leaned against the door frame, eating melon seeds, and laughing at how those people were physically disabled.
"Look, where did the boss find these useless people? How can they farm?"
"They got some disabled people. If you don't know, you would think they were beggars who were dismembered." They laughed loudly. After staying in the lower level for a long time, it was rare to see people worse off than them.
Jiang Fengnian was furious. He walked over and interrupted him coldly, "So what if he is not healthy? He is better than you guys who have all the limbs but only know how to be cunning and sly!"
"That's right. My wife always says an old saying, jade may have flaws, but the flaws do not hide the beauty. As long as people are down-to-earth and hardworking, they are better than you guys. Get out of the manor!" Jiang Fenghu also shouted in a rough voice.
The tenants turned pale at this time. They
realized that their jobs were in danger.
They rushed forward to beg, but Jiang Fengnian was unmoved. He only gave each of them a severance pay of 100 coins and asked them to pack up and leave.
Although one hundred coins is not much, it is enough for them to survive for half a month, and then find another employer or a job.
Compared with other employers, the Jiang family is already very generous.
The tenant knew that he could not move, so he could only look bitter and go back to the house to pack up his things, regretting that he had underestimated the Jiang family before.
The most important thing next is to let the people of Beihe County move into the house before dark.
Feng called Feng Hu and said, "Throw away all the tenants' beddings. Go buy some new ones, and buy 50 kilograms of food, 10 kilograms of eggs, and two sets of new clothes for everyone. Make sure they can sleep well tonight."
As for the houses here, they will be allocated by the village chief.
Each family will live in one place. Those with more people will live in the bigger one, and those with fewer people will live in the smaller one.
But most of them had lost their families and were alone, so more than 30 people would need at least 20 houses.
After all the houses were distributed, there were still a few people who didn't get
one. Feng Shi was not vague, so she gave away the house she had reserved for them so that they could squeeze in for the time being.
As for the future, she would build a few more houses as soon as possible, and the Jiang family would pay for it, so they wouldn't have to worry.
Looking at the houses that were finally vacated, and the clothes and rice in front of everyone, the faces of the Beihe refugees showed joy. This was not only food and shelter, but also their hope of life!
When they came out of Xiaoliu Village, the Jiang family was very satisfied.
They had also suffered and had been through the rain. Now that they had the ability, they should hold an umbrella for others.
On the way back in the carriage, the Jiang family discussed building a house, and at this time, Xiao Nuobao's stomach finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a series of rumbling sounds were heard.
Once this sound came out, it was particularly conspicuous in the small carriage, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Nuobao stuck out her tongue and patted her belly to protest, "No one is allowed to laugh. I was in a hurry to come out at noon, so I didn't eat enough. It's abnormal not to be hungry now."
Feng hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I know our fat girl is hungry, and there must be a lot of lunch dishes left. When we get back, we will heat them up and have dinner, okay?"
Xiao Nuobao obediently said "um", swayed her chubby legs like carrots, and acted coquettishly in her mother's arms again.
Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi were driving the carriage, listening to the laughter in the carriage and thinking about the refugees' settlement. Their faces were full of joy.
But at this moment, the carriage suddenly braked and was blocked by the crowd.
Xiao Lanyi tightened the reins and jumped down quickly, "Let me see what's going on in front!"
When he pushed through the crowd, he found that the Pei family had a new member, so they were distributing red eggs and wedding cakes all over the street.
Old Pei had another grandson, and he changed his recent listlessness and planned to hold a banquet two days later to add some joy to the family.
Xiao Lanyi pouted and shook her head, and when she came back she said helplessly, "The Pei family is really a conspicuous family. It would be fine if they just distributed wedding cakes, but they had to block the main road. The carriage can't pass now. Let's wait a while."
Xiao Nuobao suddenly thought of something, and with his soft white hands he stretched out the curtain of the carriage.
She hurriedly tugged at Xiao Lanyi's sleeve, "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? Is it the Pei Mansion
, the family of the Minister of Rites, that's the one inviting us to dinner?" Xiao Lanyi turned around and nodded, "It's their family, Nuobao. They are the only famous Pei family in the whole capital. What's the matter?"
Little Nuobao clenched his fists, and his eyes lit up.
It just so happened that she originally wanted to check on the young master Pei's wife, but she didn't know how to find an excuse to visit her. Why
not take this opportunity to go to the Pei Mansion and take a look, maybe there will be some clues!
