After transmigrating into a book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 65

The big gong on the grain drying ground was sounded. Everyone knew that there was an urgent matter to be announced in the village, so they rushed to the grain drying ground.

All the people in the village who could walk ran away, and the crowd was crowded and noisy.

The village chief stood on the high platform of the grain drying yard, swung the hammer with both hands and hit the gong three times, only to hear a few "dang, dang, dang", and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

"The folks are called here today, mainly because there are three things to announce."

The village chief glanced back at patriarch Mei and several other elders who were sitting on the side, and saw that the other party nodded to him, and then continued: "This is the final decision after our patriarch and elders discussed it together. I hope everyone will listen carefully. use up."

"Village Chief, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it, I have to go home to nurse my baby!" A woman urged from below.

The child is still sleeping before going out. If the time is delayed, the child wakes up and falls out of bed, which will be fatal.

Being interrupted, the village chief said angrily, "Go back if you don't want to listen."

The woman dared not speak, she curled her neck and kept quiet.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, the village chief said: "That's it. The first thing is about Dawa. I think you all know that Dawa's family has been passed down from one generation to the next. It is very difficult for a daughter-in-law to take care of four children alone, so we old guys agreed that this year's output from the family farm will be compensated to the eldest son's family."

The family land belongs to the public property of the villagers of Shuanghe Village.

In Shuanghe Village, the Mei family members have a total of [-] mu of family land, and the annual output belongs to the family, and then the head of the family distributes it to the villagers according to the performance of the villagers.

Now that the patriarchs want to use this year's output to compensate Dawa's family, it is tantamount to taking advantage of the whole village, and many people are immediately unhappy.

"Village chief, I don't agree. Why should we use everyone's things to compensate Dawa's family? Dawa will die when he dies. It doesn't make sense for us to compensate him with our own output after he dies."

No, as soon as the village chief finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang was the first to disagree and immediately jumped out.

Dead people are a normal thing, but if you want to take advantage of yourself, you just can't.

"Yes, you can't give it, you can't start it, otherwise everyone in the village will be compensated if they die, and the rest of us won't be able to survive." Someone echoed.

Mrs. Mei: "The eldest daughter-in-law's child was not born by us. It has nothing to do with us. If you can't afford it, it can be worth a few dollars if you sell it. Why should you use the output of the family farm!"

Mrs. Mei was so good that the scar forgot the pain, and she also refuted.

Zhang Meihua: "That's right, my mother's life is not easy. My daughter-in-law gave birth to a loser and ran away from home. My mother's life is also very difficult and needs compensation from the clan."

Liu Dachui got married two years ago, and the new wife became pregnant in the first year after entering the house, and gave birth to a daughter in the second year.

Zhang Meihua was dissatisfied and spoiled his daughter-in-law every day, causing the daughter-in-law to leave the baby and run away.

This is also taken out, and some people in the know can't help but roll their eyes.

This man is an idiot!

There was a lot of discussion below, and most people were not satisfied with the result.

Seeing that the villagers below were dissatisfied, the village chief's face was dark, and he picked up the gong and hammer again.

With a sound of "clang", the people below were startled.

Looking up, seeing the dark faces of the village head, the patriarch, etc., most of the people immediately quieted down, only a few were still muttering.

"It's really shameless to treat things in the village as good people. Why don't you take your own!" The corners of Xiao Zhang's mouth curled up high, always feeling that he was at a disadvantage.

The village chief listened, and his face turned black, "Xiao Zhang, are you the village chief or I am the village chief, what do you know, a woman? The eldest child sacrificed for the village and should be compensated."

Xiao Zhang: "I didn't ask him to go, so if he dies, can he still be blamed on me?"

village head:"……"

Everyone: "..."

Seeing the situation like this, the patriarch couldn't help but frowned, and glanced at the audience with displeasure: "This is the decision of the clan, and no one else can comment on it."

Seeing Mei Laosan in the crowd, he said angrily: "Take care of your wife, don't let me hear things you shouldn't hear."

Mei Laosan was called out in public, and she was shocked all over. She immediately covered Xiao Zhang's mouth with one hand, and dragged her outside.

Seeing this, the patriarch nodded in satisfaction, and signaled the village chief to continue.

The village head stepped forward and continued: "The second thing is the problem of the river water. The government has issued an order to prohibit Shanghe Village from blocking the river, so we can continue to carry water to irrigate the fields. In addition, regarding the matter of the eldest child, the other two The village has also given a certain amount of compensation, which is an explanation to the village, and I hope that everyone can turn hostility into friendship in the future, and stop making troubles with what happened today."

Seeing everyone nodding, the village head continued: "The last thing is also the most important thing. It is related to the life and death of our whole village. As a village head, I dare not make a decision lightly. After discussing with the patriarch and the others, we decided Let's hear your thoughts."

Life or death?

Everyone was taken aback. You looked at me, I looked at you, and were puzzled for a moment. Is there anything more important than no water and no food?
The village chief saw that everyone was silent, with a heavy expression on his face, he turned his head and looked at the patriarch and the others, and said: "Everyone knows that it has hardly rained since the beginning of spring this year, which has caused the water level to drop and the land to be dry. People were killed because of the water. If it still doesn't rain by the end of the year, the Shuangzi River may stop flowing, and next year will definitely be a year of famine.

"I've been living here for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be sustainable, so after discussing with several of us, we agreed that if it doesn't rain by the end of this year, then we're afraid that the whole village will have to flee famine."

When the village chief finished speaking, everyone froze for a moment, then panicked, restless, and whispered to each other.

Clan [-]: "Fleeing famine? Don't you have to leave here?"

Clan member [-]: "This is the ancestral land of our Mei family. We have lived here for generations, so why not!"

Clan member three: "Falling leaves return to their roots, and we old people can't live for a few years. Sooner or later, there will be such a day, that is, young people... oh..."

Clan [-]: "Can't it rain in the sky? If you flee famine, where should you go?"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, with serious expressions on their faces.

Mei Lao Er turned his head to look at the three daughters and a girl who were following behind him, frowning into a crease.

The four girls, the journey to escape from famine is far away, and there are dangers everywhere. This is not a good thing, but if you don't escape...

Thinking of what happened during the day, Mei Lao Er hesitated for a moment, unable to make up his mind.

Mei Luomei followed behind Mei's second child, thinking of the track that the book should have according to the system, and guessing that the drought might not end easily, so she said:
"Father, since the village chief said so, he must have made a decision in his heart. Let's go back and prepare the things we need on the road. Maybe we have to leave here next spring."

There will be no water at that time, so you have to go if you don't want to.
