The reason for the dispute is simple, it all comes down to greed.
Those who wanted to go to the county town had no food, so Kang Hong and Kang Yanshun each took out 100 kilograms of mixed noodles, which the people who originally stayed thought was unfair.
They didn't have to work in the village and they still had food to eat. Maybe they could even get porridge given by the rich families in the county town. Many families were tempted and wanted to follow them to the county town.
Kang Hong disagreed, and the two sides started arguing with each other.
After listening to what Huang said, Kang Yueran ignored her and took Kang Yuanchen to go hunting.
They were very lucky today and hunted a wild boar, two rabbits and two pheasants.
Kang Yueran kept the pheasant for himself, gave Kang Yanshun and Kang Hong a rabbit each, and gave the wild boar to Kang Hong to share with the villagers.
After Kang Yanshun and Kang Hong stewed the pork they were given, they each gave a bowl to Kang Yueran. Kang Yueran accepted it. She had a good impression of the two elderly people. She was willing to help them and also willing to accept their feedback.
The person in the village who had a foot injury had not recovered yet, so we decided to go to the county town three days later.
The villagers wanted to learn Kang Yueran's method to cook the damp grain, but they were afraid that it would not be kept well, so someone came to ask Kang Yueran if he had any solution.
Kang Yueran found a secluded place to enter the space, bought some food preservatives from the mall, put them in porcelain bottles, and gave a little to each family.
For several days, Kang Youzhao brought people back to the village every day to find out the people buried by the houses one by one.
The day before going to the county town, Kang Yanshun and Kang Hong personally led people to the ancestral tomb in Fengtou Village. Kang Yanshun had two large pits dug on a high place, one for men and one for women, and then buried them.
The weather was getting hotter, and leaving corpses unattended could easily lead to an epidemic. If the epidemic spread, the entire village might be buried with them.
Kang Hong had said in advance that conditions were limited and this was the only way to go. If anyone was dissatisfied with this burial method, they could bury it themselves. Many people were dissatisfied, but in the end, no one raised any objections.
The next day, Kang Yanshun stayed in the village to look after the family, while Kang Hong took twelve households of villagers to the county town.
Dayan Mountain is so called because it is shaped like a swallow, with a concave area in the middle like its body and two high areas on both sides like its wings. In fact, the concave area is the dividing point, so it can be said to be two mountains.
Kang Yueran and others were on the top of the mountain in the north. They had to go down the mountain first and then cross the swallow's other wing to reach Daji Town.
There is no one guarding the gate of Daji Town, and anyone can enter.
When I entered, the streets were filled with people: some begging, some selling their children, some bargaining. The sounds of shouting and crying blended together, adding a touch of sadness to the small town.
Two families in the village were going to live with relatives, so they came to say goodbye to Kang Hong, wished each other well, and agreed to reunite in Fengtou Village after the flood was over.
A gong sounded, and Kang Hong loudly announced to the remaining people that they should all go shopping and meet at the south gate of the town in the evening. They would rest outside the south gate for the night and set out again the next day.
No one had much money, so most people didn't wander around the town. They bought the things they needed and hurried to the meeting place.
Kang Yueran looked at the tired looks of the two families and decided to find a restaurant to have a good meal.
Huang was reluctant to spend the money and advised: "You will have to spend money everywhere in the city, so you'd better be frugal."
The things in the mall can be easily exchanged for silver here, so it is not a problem for her to support two families. She now has about 70 taels on her. "It's okay, I have silver."
In front of a restaurant, the waiter stood at the door looking at them, hesitating whether to let them in.
Kang Yueran took out two pieces of silver, about five taels, and said, "Brother, don't look at our shabby clothes, we have silver to pay the bill."
The waiter immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Dear guests, please come in!"
Because they were carrying several bags of grain and the bamboo baskets took up a lot of space, Kang Yueran gave the waiter a dozen copper coins, and the waiter helped them arrange a separate room.
Kang Yueran ordered eight dishes in a row and two bowls of rice, so that everyone could eat their fill.
After dinner, Kang Yueran called over his waiter to ask about the situation. "Brother, how many villages in Daji Town have been affected by the disaster? I feel like it's even worse than our Lu'an Town."
"The two towns are not far from each other, and it's been raining for two months straight, not to mention the complete loss of crops. The heavy rain a few days ago affected more than half of the villages in Daji Town.
That big river alone destroyed five or six villages, and many people died. Everyone fled to the town, and now there are more and more people in the town. I heard that many people are preparing to go to the county."
In ancient times, water transportation was much more convenient than land transportation, so the economy was more prosperous in places with water.
Anzhou has well-developed waterways, but in the face of heavy rain, this becomes a disadvantage.
Kang Yueran thanked them and the group left the restaurant.
On the street, Kang Yueran bought some snacks for Kang Yuanhao, and went to a cloth shop to buy a pair of cloth shoes for each of them.
Huang refused to go shopping anymore, so they went outside the South Gate.
The South Gate was already crowded with people at this time, and Kang Yueran had to walk a long way before he saw the villagers of Fengtou Village.
Seeing Kang Yueran coming back, Gu came over awkwardly, stood three or four steps away from Kang Yueran and asked, "Yueran, do you have any food left at home?"
"No! Isn't your food distributed by the village head every day?"
"The little bread we were given is not enough to eat. Yueran, can you lend us some money?"
Kang Yueran frowned and said, "Grandma is richer than me, why don't you discuss it with her."
"Your grandmother's money was lost on the way. Now we have no money at home and we have run out of food. Please have pity on us."
If Zhao's silver was really lost, she would have made such a noise that every animal in Dayan Mountain could hear her. There was no way they would have kept quiet. "My silver is lost too!"
Gu took a step forward and asked flatteringly, "Can you help us borrow some money? We will definitely pay it back later." Since there was no need to sign a receipt, it was natural that whoever borrowed should pay it back.
"I can't borrow it!" Kang Yueran said impatiently: "Go back and tell them not to bother me. Your business has nothing to do with me."
In fact, Gu had guessed that Kang Yueran would definitely not help, but Zhao and Kang Youping forced her to come over and ask.
Seeing Gu walking back empty-handed, Zhao started cursing from a distance. "What a useless bunch! They can't even borrow some food. Such idiots are better off dead."
Although Kang Youping did not scold Gu, he was also very dissatisfied with her.
He and his son Kang Yuanhua looked at each other. They both knew very well that Zhao's silver was not lost at all.
The father and son reached an agreement without saying a word. Zhao would not easily live outside and take the money, so they had to find a way.
