Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 251 I'm Disappointed
Wang Ying seemed to trust him very much. She nodded and called her daughter over, "Niu'er, please meet the girl soon."

The little girl looked a bit aloof, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Don't call me girl, call me sister. I'm much older than her!"

Wang Yingwei wondered: "How can this happen?"

Shen Qing took out a handful of candies and said, "Girl, come to my sister's place. I'll give you all these."

The girl looked at the candy wrapper and almost drooled. She looked at her mother first. When she saw her nodding, she dared to go over and cautiously stretched out her hand.Shen Qing put the candy in her hand, then grabbed a handful, "Go and share it with other children, don't be stingy!"

Niuer turned to look at her mother again, and after receiving her mother's permission, she clenched her hands and ran away happily.

The little kids in Zhuangzi were all gathered together to watch the adults fight. So many people suddenly appeared. They could only get one and a half candies during the Chinese New Year. They immediately jumped up and swarmed around the girl. .

Like a little adult, Niuer held the candies to her chest to prevent them from grabbing them, "One for each person. If there are too many, others won't be able to share. Come on, I'll give it to you."

Wang Ying wiped her tears, turned around and saluted Shen Qing, "Thank you, girl, my Niuniu hasn't been this happy for a long time. Later...can you bring my man up later? He can't walk."

Wang Wu didn't wait for Shen Qing's reply and said, "Of course I can. I'll carry the elder brother out later. Just help me."

"Thank you very much, Brother Wang Wu."

Wang Ying wiped her tears and left, asking her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to work.

Wang Wu looked at her back and didn't move his eyes for a long time. After a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Girl, are you going to visit Sun's house?"

Shen Qing had nothing to do, so he nodded and called Shen Qi. Luo Qin led the way, Wang Wu followed, and they entered the Sun family's house.

Sun Xingwang is the head of the village assigned to the Sun family. He originally had a house that belonged to him. These all belong to Zhuangzi. If the head of the village is changed, the house will have to stay and be used by the next head of the village. Yes, he only has the right to use it. .

But the Sun family's house has obviously been renovated, and it's not just an ordinary renovation.

From the outside, it doesn’t seem like much, but once inside, it’s an eye-opener.

The courtyard wall is made of blue bricks two meters high, which is strong and resistant to thieves, probably because they are afraid of being retaliated against!

But with a layer of mud on the outside, it looks like an ordinary mud wall.

The ground in the yard is paved with bluestone slabs, and a garden, pavilion, and even a small pond have been built, but no one has taken care of it, and it looks like a smelly ditch.

Facing the main house is the main house, with side houses on both sides, all with blue brick roofs.

The door of the main hall is open, and you can see the magnificent furnishings without going in. There is also a central hall painting hanging directly above, which is a picture of pine and crane.

The Eight Immortals table, the Grand Master's chair, and armchairs on both sides.

Shen Qing only stood at the door and did not go in.

Wang Wu signaled again: "Girl, there are some female relatives of the Sun family in the backyard. What do you think we should do?"

"Bring the people to the front, as well as the servants of the Sun family, why are there not any of them?"

Wang Wu said: "Some heard the news and ran away, and some hid in the backyard and did not dare to come out."

"Then bring everyone out and deal with them quickly." "Yes!"

After lighting a stick of incense, Wang Wu drove some people over like ducks.

There were men and women, old and young, and there were even some little girls wearing women's buns. There were about five or six.

Shen Qing asked: "What happened to them?"

Wang Wu was really embarrassed to say, "They... they were all bought or robbed by Sun from outside."

The women didn't know what happened, thinking that the Sun family was going to resell them, so they knelt down in tears.

But I don’t know how to plead for mercy so as not to be abused.

Shen Qing had a headache from their crying, "You hand them over to Wang Ying. If you have relatives in this village, let them go back if you want. If you don't have relatives, give them some money and let them go home." After that, see you there. Two women looked frightened, so she had to add, "If there is really no place to go, you can stay in the village if you want. Find a place for them to go and take them away as soon as possible!"

She saw that Wang Ying was a capable little daughter-in-law, and she expected to be able to handle these things well.

The sun soon set at the end of the field, and there was a lot of noise in front of Sun's house in Zhuangtou.

Some elderly people with limited mobility were hobbling over, supported by their juniors. When they saw Shen Qing, they hurriedly knelt down.

Shen Qingxu gave me a hand, "You are all about the same age as my grandmother. If you salute me, won't you be offending me?"

Several old people were leaning on crutches, gathered around her, and said in a flurry of words: "Young lady is the owner of Wangjiazhuang, and she is our master. In this world, seniority is ranked first, and we don't dare to go beyond the rules."

"That's right. Besides, the girl who took care of the Sun family is also our benefactor. Otherwise, we might all have died this winter."

"The Sun family is the most evil village head in the world. They eat people without spitting out their bones. If the boss sends the village head to take charge of the village again, they should think more about us. We are really... really..." The old man couldn't continue. .

The tenants are the ones who work in the village, but the village head does not regard them as human beings, even worse than animals. Look at these people, they are old, disabled, and sick. There are dozens of households, and there are countless strong ones. Labor, but not much.

Therefore, whenever the Sun family came out to ask people to work, they had to bring the elderly or children with them. Otherwise, if there were not enough people, they would be whipped.

This place is far away from the county government, and even further away from the emperor. No one can do justice to them or say a word for them even if they kowtow.

Shen Qing looked at the people gathered in the square and sighed. It's true. Most of the farming in ancient times relied on manpower, but some people insisted on squeezing their labor and wanted to squeeze out all the value from them. Wait until they can no longer Nothing can be squeezed out, so just throw people away without caring about their life or death.

In the past dynasties, it was because of such grievances that they accumulated too much, which led to the collapse of the world and the change of dynasties.

Therefore, when Shen Qing was considering the new head of the village, he had to worry about the emotions of the tenants. He would be confused and more likely to make mistakes when looking for strangers.

Several men came over carrying a big fat pig on poles, followed by two people carrying sheep.

Wang Ying directed the younger daughters-in-law to find two of the elder's iron pots from the Sun family, and then built a temporary earthen stove and put the pots on the racks.

Those carrying water carried firewood, those carrying firewood, and the children also helped the adults to carry things, running around, and the sounds of women shouting and telling their children to be careful not to fall could be heard in their ears.

Shen Qing sat back again, looking at the active life scene in front of him, and wanted to sigh.

At least for now, it seems that these tenants do not have high requirements for the quality of life. A bite of meat is simply more satisfying than the New Year.
