Chapter 260: Wang Lishi as always
Gan Tian looked at her and saw an old acquaintance, Wang Lishi.
If it weren't for Wang Lishi's powerful voice, Gan Tian almost didn't recognize this old hag.
[Others were so hungry that they staggered, but she was still quite strong.]
[Such a severe famine didn't starve her to death. Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.]
Gan Tian couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Wang Lishi also saw Gan Fanren and Gan Tian on the side.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Gan Fanren was still the same as before, elegant and gentle.
There was no trace of the savage in the famine era.
Everyone was so savage, how could Gan Fanren live so freely?
She was not convinced.
Seeing Gan Fanren standing next to the cart carrying food, he immediately shouted: "Li Zheng, why did you bring back a freeloader!"
"We have worked so hard for so long, why do we let a person who does nothing come back to eat for free!" Li
Zheng was sweating coldly when he heard Wang Li's words.
"Wang Li, can you shut your mouth!"
The villagers who went out with Li Zheng to find food were sweating coldly.
Although Gan Fanren did not tell them what happened after leaving Wangjia Village, they could see that Gan Fanren was no longer the same as before. There were many people around him.
One or two of them called him Lord. They almost didn't dare to think deeply about
who could be called Lord
.
"All this food was found for us by Scholar Gan. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten a single grain of rice."
Wang Li didn't believe it at all. She looked at Gan Fanren and said, "Forget it?"
"Just him?"
"He's just a scholar. At most, he can buy some water-soaked food. How can he have such a great ability to get so much food?"
Others looked at Gan Fanren with doubt.
Although Gan Fanren was not a native of Wangjia Village, he had lived in Wangjia Village for ten years.
If Gan Fanren had such a great ability, how could he have lived in Wangjia Village for ten years?
"Li Zheng! What time is it now? Don't act like a good person!"
Wang Li glanced at Gan Fanren, and the wrinkles on his face became even more wrinkled, like an old monster in a storybook.
She held her drooling grandson in her arms and said in a sinister tone, "I know you are afraid that giving the food directly to Gan Fanren will cause opposition from everyone, so you said that the food was given by Gan Fanren."
"But this food belongs to our village and all the villagers of Wangjia Village. You can't give the food to him without authorization."
Some villagers chose to believe Li Zheng, and some chose to believe Wang Li.
Most of those who believed in Wang Li were selfish.
They didn't want to know the truth, they just knew that if there was one more mouth, they would get less food.
They didn't want to share the white rice like this.
This rice was a rare commodity even when there was no famine, and ordinary people were reluctant to eat it, not to mention that the famine was so severe now.
"Yes, Li Zheng, if you want to spare us and send out the food, you must get our consent!"
Gan Tian didn't feel angry when she saw these skinny villagers, but felt sad.
The famine lasted for so long, and many people in the village were gone. Those who were rich and capable had left.
The remaining ones were ordinary villagers who were poor and destitute.
They had never been to school, could not read, and did not know any great principles. They just sadly guarded their own meager interests.
They were not bad, but simply stupid.
"Li Zheng, since I am the one giving the food, I also have several conditions."
"First, this food cannot be given to Wang Li!"
"Second, if I find out that someone gave the food to Wang Li, I will not help that family in the future."
"Third, I hope you can help me find a few people who know about Qingtai Pass and lead me to Qingtai Pass. Please ask for me. The reward will not be small, but there is a risk of losing your head."
Wang Li heard what happened two days ago and did not hold back at all. She still shouted recklessly: "Stop pretending to be rich. If you are really doing well outside, why would you come back to the village?"
"I see that you can't make it outside, so I beg Li Zheng to give you a decent treatment."
For the first time, Gan Tian personally experienced what it meant to be a frog in a well.
[This old woman is too noisy, so annoying.]
Gan Fanren only glanced at her, stopped arguing with her, and followed Li Zheng to leave.
Most of the people Gan Fanren brought stayed to maintain order and distribute food.
When Wang Li saw that food was being distributed, she hurriedly pushed aside other villagers and took the first seat.
"Me, me, me, give it to me first."
The soldier glanced at Wang Li, with a complicated expression on his face: "Didn't you hear me just now?"
"Our lord said that we can't give you food."
Wang Li didn't expect that these people would actually listen to Gan Fanren.
"Young man, you look good and energetic, why do you follow Gan Fanren to work?"
"What benefits did he give you? I'll give you double!"
The soldier couldn't help but sneer: "Can you afford it?"
"Get out, don't delay the next person to get food."
How could Wang Li be willing to leave without getting food!
If Wang Li doesn't leave, she won't get food.
Seeing Wang Li like this, others couldn't help but get anxious: "Wang Li, you should leave quickly, don't delay us from getting food."
"Don't delay us if you can't get it yourself!"
"When Gan Fanren lived here, you bullied him a lot. Now that he has become rich and brought back food, you still scold him. If I were him, I would not give you food either."
An old widower in the village had always been at odds with Wang Li, so he simply dragged Wang Li out of the team.
Wang Li refused to leave and insisted on going back to the queue.
"Let me go, why don't you let me get food!"
"I am also a member of Wangjia Village!"
This time, no one stood on Wang Li's side.
Everyone hoped that Wang Li would not get any food and would share the food with them.
Wang Li saw that she really could not get any food, so she could only leave in anger.
When the little grandson saw that Wang Li was going back empty-handed, he immediately stretched out his little fist and hit Wang Li.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, I want to eat rice, I want to eat rice."
"You damn old woman, go get me some rice!"
Seeing her grandson making such a fuss, Wang Li had to go back to the team.
The people distributing food were very sharp-eyed, and as soon as they saw Wang Li, they would stop distributing food.
The villagers were fed up with Wang Li.
"Go away, go away, don't delay us from getting food."
"If you come again, don't blame us for beating you."
Wang Li was chased away by the crowd and could only watch from a distance, not daring to go forward at all.
In order to let her precious grandson eat rice, Wang Li had to buy food from other people.
