A week later.
Charmaine Sheh finally agreed to let Charmaine Sheh marry Li Xiaojun.
However, because Charmaine Sheh is the wife, Charmaine Sheh can only be a concubine.
Of course, for She Shihan, as long as she can be with Brother Xiaojun, she is willing to do anything.
A few days later, Li Xiaojun married She Rujie's second daughter.
This news immediately caused a sensation in the entire Xiaowan Village.
No one had expected that Li Xiaojun, a refugee, could actually marry the two daughters of the She family!
A few months later, She Shihan gave birth to a daughter.
Such a situation naturally caused some criticism among the villagers.
However, Li Xiaojun, the person involved, did not take this matter to heart.
Just the criticism of a bunch of ordinary people.
However, the sisters Charmaine Sheh and Shihan Charmaine Sheh cared a lot about it, so Li Xiaojun actually coaxed them for a while.
"Have you heard? There's a flood in the neighboring Xingnan Prefecture."
"I heard that many people were drowned and many refugees came to our county."
During this period, the most talked about topic among the villagers of Xiaowan was the flood in the neighboring state.
A few days later, a group of refugees came to Xiaowan Village. They included men, women, young and old. Almost everyone of them was skinny and dirty.
"Good people, please be kind and give us some food."
On this day, a mother brought three children of different ages, the oldest was only five or six years old, and the youngest was only two or three years old, knocked on the gate of Li Xiaojun's house.
The one who opened the door was Charmaine Sheh. She felt sorry for the refugee family, perhaps because she thought of her husband who also fled here.
So she said to them, "Wait a moment, I'll get you something to eat."
After saying that, Charmaine Sheh went to the kitchen, took out some food and gave it to the mother who was taking care of the child.
"Kind man, are you still in need of slaves? Please buy my two daughters. I really can't support them."
Perhaps because they thought Charmaine Sheh was a good person, the mothers of several children immediately knelt down in front of her.
"Sister, don't be like this."
Charmaine Sheh was shocked by the woman's behavior.
"Kind man, please, buy my two daughters. As long as you can give them food to eat, when they grow up, they can work for your family..." The woman said pleadingly.
Just then, Li Xiaojun and She Shihan, who was holding the child, came out.
"Shiyun, what's going on?" Li Xiaojun asked She Shiyun.
After hearing what Li Xiaojun said, Charmaine Sheh briefly explained the situation.
After hearing what She Shiyun said, She Shihan quickly said: "This family is so pitiful, let's buy them."
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and said, "Our family is still short of a worker, so why not let this elder sister stay?"
Hearing Li Xiaojun's words, the mother with three children immediately kowtowed to Li Xiaojun.
"Kind-hearted people, I will do anything as long as you can give us something to eat." The child's mother said to Li Xiaojun with sobs.
"Shiyun, what do you think?" Li Xiaojun looked at She Shiyun.
Hearing this, She Shiyun thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Sister, please come in first. From now on, you just have to listen to them and do whatever they tell you to do." Li Xiaojun said, pointing at She Shiyun and She Shihan.
"Thank you, benefactor. Thank you, benefactor."
"Dabao, Erya, Sanya, quickly kowtow to your benefactors."
On this day, Li Xiaojun's family welcomed a family of four!
Seeing that it was not easy for the other party to raise three children, he just gave them something to eat.
However, just after Li Xiaojun's family took in the mother with three children, several more waves of refugees begging for food soon came to their door.
Charmaine Sheh and Natalie Tong were kind-hearted towards these refugees and provided them with relief whenever they could at the beginning.
However, as news of their refugee relief efforts spread, more and more refugees came to their home.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiaojun's family was somewhat troubled.
Moreover, not only Li Xiaojun's family was harassed, but other people in the village, including Charmaine Sheh's family, were harassed by the refugees.
In this situation, the village finally organized itself and drove away all the refugees.
Because if more refugees were allowed to gather in their village, God knows what would happen next.
Now, farmers make up the majority of the population in Xiaowan Village. If the number of refugees were allowed to make up the majority, it would be very likely that the villagers would be robbed if someone instigated them a little.
So rather than letting the future become uncontrollable, it is better to expel the refugees now to avoid future troubles.
Moreover, providing relief to refugees should be the responsibility of the imperial court, not the responsibility of ordinary villagers like them.
Faced with so many refugees, if the imperial court does not provide relief, how many people can ordinary villagers help?
When the villagers of Xiaowan Village united and drove all the refugees out of the village.
Soon, all the refugees went to other villages!
However, other villages, like Xiaowan Village, reject refugees from outside.
So in the end, the refugees could only gather outside the county town.
And as time goes by, the number of refugees outside the city is increasing.
With so many refugees gathering near the county town, the county magistrate had already ordered the city gates to be closed, not allowing any refugees to enter the city!
The county magistrate only ordered the city gates to be closed, but did not order the distribution of porridge.
So as more and more refugees came outside the city, they had no food, and many of them could only eat the flesh of starving people, or even eat their own children.
