Chapter 432 Slaves also have conditions

"Hey……"

Professor Worth saw this passage, although it was not the first time he watched it,

But still couldn't help sighing.In such a way, Raleigh, who took away these fields, was given the name of kindness.

It's a bit ironic.

What's even more ironic is that in the article, this Mr. Raleigh really saved the lives of those people.

But the survival of these people should not have depended on Mr. Raleigh's "charity".

They have food in their fields, but they can't harvest it, and they can't keep the original harvest.

In the text, it seems that these people's food was taken away, and the "holy war" that broke out very suddenly was actually not sudden at all.

Think about it, when Mr. Raleigh took away the ten fields mortgaged to him by the Hawes family, as well as other people's fields, and used them to raise sheep,
Even earlier, this 'holy war' was already an inevitable result.

"call……"

After taking a long breath, Professor Worth turned his head and looked at his wife again,

Seeing his wife is still immersed in the stories in the book, reading.

Professor Voss turned back again and continued to read.

……

In the text, the plot continues.

Sitting at the door of the house, little Gerrit looked at Grandpa Burton, who was praising Mr. Raleigh to other village residents on the side of the road.

Grandpa Burton smiled all over his face, but other residents in the village were silent.

"It's a good choice to become Mr. Raleigh's slave. At least you don't have to think about the church collecting food in two months. When it's difficult here, at least you can survive."

"Mr. Raleigh is such a kind person. Even those useless people are willing to spend food to buy their fields."

"Sure enough, everything is the best arrangement of the merciful Lord."

Little Gerrit kept looking at Grandpa Burton and the few villagers,

Among those few residents, Grandpa Burton said that there was some surplus food in the family, but Uncle Scy was unwilling to marry Leina.

Uncle Spencer paused for a while listening to Grandpa Burton's words,
Then left.

"Uncle Burton, I still have to go to the field, let's go first."

"Okay, let's go, ha... If there is not enough food at home, maybe you can also sell some fields like Mr. Raleigh."

Grandpa Burton was gone, and some of the other villagers were off the road.

Little Gerrit looked at it, as if he understood something, but there was still doubt in his eyes.

"Gollum..."

After most of the food was taken away, Little Gerrit and Hoss haven't really had enough for a long time.

Counting the daily food, it can only make little Gerrit feel less hungry after eating it, and it won't be long before he becomes hungry again.

Compared to the first few days,

Now, little Gerrit only felt that he was getting more and more hungry and uncomfortable, and the hunger was getting faster and faster.

Just like Hoss said, the more difficult it is to go to the back,
Sometimes when I think about something, when I think about it, only 'hungry' and 'food' are left in my mind

Clutching his stomach and picking up a hemp rope, little Gerrit strangled his stomach that was screaming again.

Feeling less uncomfortable, I raised my head again.

From the front of the house, looking forward, you can see the sheep of Mr. Raleigh's house that are kept in a large field.

Those sheep have grown up a lot compared to the beginning.

Little Gerrit didn't want to look at it, but when he looked there, he couldn't help but stop.

Sheep, mutton.

Little Gerrit swallowed.

He had forgotten how long the family hadn't eaten meat.

The secretion of saliva cannot be restrained, and the stomach is like a rebellion.

The gastric juice flowed back down the throat of little Grit, and the burning little Grit was extremely uncomfortable.

Those sheep are just around the corner, and there are so many...

"Little Gerrit... come in."

At this time, Hoss, who had been working in the field for a while, came back from the outside.

In his hand, he held a handful of crop seedlings that were probably immature, and some things that were not known to be weeds or wild vegetables.

"In the evening, we will probably be able to eat a little more."

Hoss held the things in his hand and said to Little Gerrit with a smile.

Little Gerrit recovered from his father Hoss' shout, turned his head, and stood up.

"Okay, do you want me to come with you, Hoth?"

"No, if you're hungry, drink some water, sit down, and I'll make our dinner right away."

"Um……"

Little Gerrit watched his father Hoss enter the kitchen.

He turned his head and looked outside the house again.

At this moment,
Suddenly there was a loud commotion outside the house, probably a sound of beating and scolding,

"Smelly bitch, you bitch, you seduce men for food...You bitch, you will go to hell after you die."

It was Aunt Emma in the village who beat and scolded people, and it was Leina who was beaten and scolded.

Aunt Emma seemed to be extremely angry, spitting out a lot of obscenities, slapping Leina with her hands,
There is another man next to him, probably Aunt Emma's husband, who is holding Aunt Emma.

Looking at this scene, little Gerrit stood up and widened his eyes.

At this time, his father Hoss seemed to have heard the movement in the kitchen, and came out,

"what happened?"

"Aunt Emma is scolding Aunt Leina, as if, as if..."

Little Gerrit answered.

Father Hoss frowned and walked out.

Little Gerrit also walked over.

"Damn bitch, why don't you just die. What are you doing alive?"

"Abandoned by your own man, you should return to the Lord's kingdom of heaven, instead of doing things here to go to hell!"

"Stop scolding, it's nothing, what nonsense are you talking about. Don't you feel ashamed when a woman yells at you on the road?"

Aunt Emma was angry, and the man who was pulling Aunt Emma seemed angry too.

Aunt Leina, who was blocked on the road, was very silent, lowered her head, and let Aunt Emma beat and scold her.

"Mrs. Emma, ​​stop beating."

Hoss went over to break the fight,
Then Emma scolded,
"What are you doing, you slept with this bitch too?"

"What nonsense? There are children here!"

Aunt Emma's husband said,

Aunt Emma glanced at little Gretel and restrained herself a little.

Little Gretel looked on, at Aunt Emma, ​​then at Aunt Leina.

Mr. Raleigh came to collect slaves,
There are also conditions, not too old, not too thin.

And Aunt Leina is the kind of too thin, already thin Aunt Leina,

After starving for so long, he was skinny to the bone.

Mr. Rowley is only willing to buy Aunt Leina's field, but not her.

In the end, little Gretel just heard that Aunt Leiena didn't go to Mr. Raleigh's house, but only sold part of the family's field.

The food she got in exchange was not enough for her to last long.

"Mrs. Emma, ​​there may be some misunderstanding, Leina..."

"There is no misunderstanding, there is no misunderstanding at all...Leina, it is best not to let me see what you are doing!"

Aunt Emma probably took care of the presence of little Gretel, so she didn't say too many more exaggerated words,

She was taken away by her husband.

"Leina..."

"Aunt Leina..."

Hoss and Little Gretel called Leina one after another, but they didn't know what to say.

Leina turned her head, with some injuries on her face, smiled at little Gerrit, and then said nothing,

just left.

Little Gretel watched Leina go further and further away.

Then Hoss, who paused beside him for a while, finally spoke again, beckoning little Gerrit back to the house.

"Go back, dinner is about to be ready."
