Chapter 233 Finalization
Regarding the issue of whether to stay or go, everyone has their own opinions, but there is only one person who is most distressed, and that is Lai Fu, the village chief of Aozigou.
In his opinion, since he brought these people out, he must also bring them back safely in the future.
But now some people have made up their minds to leave. I don’t know what they are thinking, but they actually think that leaving the team and starting a new life will definitely make their life better than before.
The old ancestor saw this and gave some advice: "Everyone has their own destiny. If they want to go, then let them go. If your nice words are useless, then why force them?"
"Yes, think about how much injustice you have suffered after you got over it. Now you can't care about so many things anymore. It's time to let go." Seeing the man frowning, Yang also gave him some considerate advice.
Dabao and Erbao could only open their mouths and remain silent. They were also feeling depressed!
Finally, Village Chief Lai Fu coughed, stood up, walked over, pointed at the group preparing to leave, and shouted, "Alright, you go. You're all young and strong. If you leave, the old, weak, and disabled can still survive. From now on, I won't recognize you as people from Aozigou."
The group of people were all silent: "..."
They were stunned for three seconds, then came to their senses and had the same general idea: if they didn't recognize it, then so be it. Anyway, they didn't want to go back to that broken mountain village.
Only when you go out will you realize how big the world outside is. Why not take this opportunity to go out and make a good living, no matter whether he is the village chief or not.
So after a short silence, everyone stopped taking Village Chief Lai Fu seriously.
Wo County is well connected. As long as you leave the city, there are other towns to the east, west, south and north. Are you still worried about not finding a way to make a living?
This scene made Lai Fu so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Uncle Jiu, who was taking notes over there, saw this and shook his head. This group of people don’t know how to be grateful.
Ding Xiaodie and her parents felt mixed emotions watching this scene.
Since you don't know how to be grateful, have no team spirit, and are useless, just go away and you will have peace.
As a result, apart from the Lu family, one-third of the eighty-seven people in Aozigou left, leaving only forty-eight people, and a total of only twelve families.
This is easier now. All twelve families can get a house.
All the families in the county town who starved to death or fled, as long as their houses were empty for half a year, were recorded by Magistrate Hu. One point would be enough now.
The rest of the Hu magistrates were also not shown mercy and were fired immediately. They were sent back to where they came from. From then on, their life and death were determined by fate, and their wealth and honor were in the hands of God.
For easier management, the twelve households are almost all located on the same main street, Fengying Street.
There is no need to say more about the Lu family. They already have a mansion in Wo County, and now they are just returning to another home.
Soon the maids and servants stopped cleaning. The house was already guarded by an old servant, and the necessary expenses were still there. Soon, everything returned to normal.
Although it wasn’t as grand as the old house in Yangliu Town, it was still one of the best houses in Wo County, and it was much better than running around in the woods.
As for the fact that the money in the Lu Mansion had never been stolen, Magistrate Hu still wanted to take credit for it when Mr. Lu went to pay taxes, and he kept saying that if he had not secretly sent yamen runners to guard it, someone would have already set their sights on this house!
Although he said so, he was actually secretly eyeing this house. He was just waiting to see if anyone from the Lu family would show up again.
As a result, now that it has happened, I am very disappointed. The only way is to go with the flow and do a favor.
It’s not that Mr. Lu can’t understand the thoughts of these officials. He has been playing games in the business world all his life. How could he not see through people’s hearts?
But he didn't say anything, just looked grateful and gave Magistrate Hu some money to thank him.
Then, the family finally settled down.
The house allocated to Ding Xiaodie's family was naturally much smaller, but it was much better than other families. She knew that this was because the Lu family had said good things behind the scenes, so their house actually had two rooms in each main wing and a small courtyard.
In this way, her parents can live in the main room, and Ding Xiaodie and her grandmother can live in a side room for easier care.
As for the mattress, Lu Chenhe asked his uncle Jiu to deliver it personally early in the morning.
In short, in this way, they can finally have a good night's rest.
But it was different for other families, like Ding Rong and Ding De's family. They could only use the bedding left by the previous owner, which were naturally left over by the previous owner.
Not to mention where Xinliang went, even if you picked it up and shook it casually, the whole room would be filled with dust.
"Bah, bah, bah, the Lu family is just biased. Look at our house, such a small yard, such a narrow house, how can it compare with the third brother's house." Zhu cursed while shaking the bedding.
Ding Xue and Ding Shan came to help their mother, but they were choked by the dust and could only cough.
Unexpectedly, after she finished scolding him, Ding Rong said, "Be content with what you have. Don't you think about what we have in that poor mountain valley of Aozigou? We never dreamed of owning a house in the city. From what Magistrate Hu said, as long as we pay taxes properly, we can live here forever. Look at this, haven't we become city dwellers overnight?"
"Indeed, when we were in Yangliu Town, Master Lu only said we were staying temporarily and that the house would be returned when the owner returned. Now Wo County is even bigger than Yangliu Town, but the houses that Magistrate Hu allocated were all owned by people who were sure they wouldn't return. As long as we pay taxes properly, we can stay."
Ding Xue smiled happily when talking about this. She had always envied the people in the city since she was a child, thinking that they were both rich and noble. Moreover, if she were also a city dweller, wouldn't she be closer to the young master?
Ding Shan had no expression on his face. He hated the city. It was not fun there. His hometown was better. There were mountains and fields, and not so many rules.
Seeing the father and daughter looking very satisfied, Zhu scolded them, "Have you ever thought about how to pay taxes? Where are we going to make money?"
"Let's take it one day at a time. Which of us who stayed here has the money to pay the tax? Besides, Master Lu has already paid for it. We'll talk about it next time we pay the tax."
Ding Rong was very satisfied with the situation. He turned around and warned Zhu: "From now on, don't cause trouble for me. Get along well with the third family. Don't mess with Xiaodie again. After all, she helped us before."
Zhu's eyes widened immediately: "Oh, the sun is rising from the west."
Ding Xue then said, "Mom, Ding Mei can talk now, which means that all the urine she drank was not in vain."
Talking about this disgusting thing, the mother and daughter couldn't help laughing.
I really don’t know what to say about Ding Mei. She even poisoned herself and got herself involved.
