Chapter 332

When Fang Qing and Zhang Zelin came to Xia Ye's house, they happened to see Yang Xiangrong and his wife there. Fang Qing saw that everyone was there, and once again told what he saw in the city today.

Fang Qing: "I heard people say that the refugees who fled to our prefecture are not only from one prefecture, but from two or three prefectures, so I am worried that there will be more and more people in two days, and some hungry people will come to the village Find something to eat."

After all, it is impossible for those who escaped to have food in their hands. It is not difficult to imagine what these people can do when they go to villages where every household has surplus food.

"Yes, what my sister-in-law said is exactly what I thought. Our village is very close to Fucheng. If refugees want to enter the village, our village will be the first to bear the brunt of these people." Yang Xiangrong said in a low voice.

Xia Ye was so frightened by the words of his two daughters-in-law that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he was a child, he also encountered refugees entering the village. At that time, the refugees who entered the village robbed the village of food and clashed with the villagers. Several people in the village died.

Xia Ye didn't expect that the refugees she met when she was young would experience such a thing again after decades.

Zhang Jingfan is fine, she has been eating well for the past two years, and she is quite tall. If she really encounters refugees, she can handle them completely.

It's just that her father is getting old, and she didn't want to take the risk of letting him stay in the village with her, so before Xia Ye could say anything, she said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I will stay in the village and let daddy go with you to the city."

Then Zhang Jingfan looked at Fang Qing and said, "Sister-in-law, you and my elder brother have a lot of children, so let daddy take care of the children for you and my elder brother for a while."

There are more and more refugees in the city. She knows that the elder sister-in-law will definitely be busy in a while. There is only the eldest brother in the family with five children. Even if there are servants, the elder brother will still be too busy. At this juncture, it is okay for the father to help out. good.

As for the second brother, there are the parents of the second sister-in-law. She believes that the two old people will take good care of the two nieces.

It was precisely because the second brother had his parents-in-law, she suggested that her father go to the sister-in-law's side. If she went to the second sister-in-law's side, she worried that the second brother would be in trouble if she went there for a long time.

Fang Qing didn't come to her father-in-law's house, she had already discussed with her husband about Xia Ye's going to their house, and now that her sister-in-law said so, she didn't say much.

Anyway, she will definitely have a lot of things to deal with in two days. It's good for her father-in-law to go home to help Fu Lang look after the children.

As for my sister-in-law, hey, my sister-in-law is married when she grows up, and she is worried that her fiancé will stay in the village.

In this way, Xia Ye and Yang Baiyang were about to be taken to the city by the two daughters-in-law.

Before they entered the city, when they were queuing to enter the city, they saw refugees and beggars forming a team in twos and threes.

Xia Ye opened the curtain and looked at the people outside, worried: "I don't know if something else will happen to your sister if she stays alone in the village." She said sullenly, "I don't know what your sister thinks, We must insist on staying in the village."

Zhang Zelin took his five children in a carriage with his father. At this time, he heard his father's words to comfort him: "There are still grandpa, aunt, and Li family members in the village. It is good for the younger sister to stay in the village. The wife owner has explained to the younger sister that if the situation in the village No, let my younger sister go to the city with the servants of the family."

Xia Ye just knew that the eldest daughter-in-law's family still had servants staying in the village, and not only the servants, but when he was at home, he heard the eldest daughter-in-law tell his daughter that there were about twenty thugs left in the two farms and the villa.

It is precisely because of these people that he can safely keep his daughter in the village, otherwise he will bring this dead girl to the city no matter what.

Sitting outside the carriage, Fang Qing frowned, thinking that the number of refugees today seemed to have doubled compared to yesterday. Yesterday, only a few people in ragged clothes were occasionally seen outside the city gate. Today, there are five or sixty more people at the gate of the city.

After Fang Qing entered the city, she asked her husband to look after several children. She went to various grain shops to check whether the price of grain had risen.

Fortunately, Sun Yinhao is in good control now, and the food prices in various grain shops are still the same as before, and the food prices have not increased due to the increase in refugees.

On the third day Fang Qing and the others returned to the city, Jin Dayuan hurried in this morning and said, "Master, I went out this morning to check the situation outside the city gate. The number of refugees outside the city has increased again."

Fang Qing tapped on the table and said, "I see, you go down first!"

After Jin Dayuan retreated, Fang Qing sighed slightly. When they entered the city the day before yesterday, the city allowed refugees outside the gate to enter the city. Since yesterday, more than 300 refugees have appeared from nowhere. Prefect, we can no longer allow refugees outside the city gate to enter the city, so as not to endanger the safety of the people in the city.

Even here, she has received invitations from rich families in the city. She is also afraid that the more refugees the city takes in, the safety of her family will be endangered, so she heartily wrote a letter to these rich families.

She felt a little sore in her heart at this moment.

In the previous world, she had experienced the dangers of natural disasters, and she knew the helplessness of the refugees outside the city gate, fleeing from the place where they lived since childhood to another place.

It would be fine if the place where they fled took them in, if not, the adults would be fine, but the young children would be pitiful.

Thinking of the pair of bright, dark and ignorant eyes outside the city gate, Fang Qing stood by the study window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. Suddenly, he lifted his feet and walked outside.

Zhang Zelin didn't sleep well in the past two nights, worried that the refugees outside the city gate would go to several nearby villages to find food or climb the wall into the city in the middle of the night.

In the past two nights, except that I personally took the twins to sleep, the three eldest daughters have been let their father help them to sleep.

Zhang Zelin had just told his father that those poor people outside the city gate saw the wife-lord walking in.

Fang Qing went back to the courtyard where they lived, saw his father-in-law and husband-in-law were there, and said, "Brother Lin, go to the kitchen and ask the kitchen staff to prepare more food. Later, I will go with you to serve porridge outside the city gate."

"Okay, I'll let the kitchen prepare it now." Zhang Zelin did not object to the decision made by his wife and boss. He has lived through a hard life and knows the pain of refugees suffering from hunger and cold.

Xia Ye felt that her daughter-in-law did a good job, and her son's family now has no worries about food and drink, and food and clothing.

Now that such natural disasters and man-made disasters are encountered, it is good for the son, wife and husband to do more good deeds, so as to accumulate some blessings for the little grandchildren.

He is old and can't help much. He can only help his son take care of several grandchildren, so that the daughter-in-law and son have no worries, and the young couple can go to work.

Fang Qing and Zhang Zelin asked the kitchen to cook two large pots of porridge, prepared more than 500 steamed buns, and marched out of the city gate with a dozen thugs and five or six servants.

Refugees outside the city gate were not allowed to enter the city, and people with connections in the city like Fang Qing were still allowed to leave the city.

Fang Qing and Zhang Zelin took people to fetch porridge and steamed buns, and went outside the city gate. The guards guarding the gate didn't say anything, but instead found a stable place for the couple to serve porridge.

The refugees gathered outside the city heard that there were kind-hearted people giving porridge at the gate of the city, and rushed to the gate of the city with their bowls of food, waiting for the kind-hearted people to give them porridge.

The thugs who followed came out to maintain the order of the refugee queue, Zhang Zelin served porridge for these people with his own hands, and the servant man who followed gave steamed buns next to Zhang Zelin.

Among the people who came to beg for porridge, there were old people over half a hundred years old, and children who were two or three years old who were ignorant.
