After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 90 Here Comes a Family (Fifth Watch)
Although Chen Xingyan felt disdainful, he had to agree with some of Wang's views.

For example, if you become the patriarch, you can naturally seek certain benefits for your family in the first place.

Whether it's paying taxes, or arranging Yao's military service, etc., it can make your family take advantage of it.

The poorer the place, the more petty profits the more people will look up to it!
As the saying goes, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and evil waters. Naturally, there is some truth in this statement. If it is not for the fear of poverty, who would be willing to take some crooked paths?
Mrs. Wang mentioned a few more words, saying that Lu Laohan also meant towards the village chief, after all, they were closer and closer in blood.

Chen Xingyan didn't express any opinion on this. It doesn't matter who is the head of the clan to her, since life is like this anyway.

On the contrary, no matter who is the patriarch, it is probably true that he has to come here to curry favor with Daxiong's family.

After all, in the entire Lu family, only Da Xiong wore official clothes, and at least he had a ninth-rank official position.

Compared with the patriarch, Lu Daxiong, the inspector, obviously has more authority.

Besides, the Lu family now has Ruyifang, and most people in the village rely on them for food. No matter who they change, it is impossible to come over to embarrass them.

Chen Xingyan is good at embroidery, but he doesn't know how to fit the soles of shoes. It's cold in winter, so the shoes he wears are thicker than usual, and the soles are also higher.

A while ago, Mrs. Wang also made her a pair of shoes, which made Chen Xingyan panic for a long time.

How can there be any reason to let the elders make shoes for themselves?
But she really didn't know how to wear the soles of shoes, and later Qi took the time to make two pairs of shoes for her, at least there was a replacement.

"Mother, I'm thinking that we have too many things to do at home now, and we can't keep up with it. Do you want to buy a few more people?"

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Is this appropriate? Daxiong still owes 30 taels of foreign debt. If he buys another person now, I'm afraid people will make irresponsible remarks behind his back."

Chen Xingyan didn't think it was a big deal, "We have money in hand, so we just pay it back."

Mrs. Wang didn't agree immediately, but said that she would discuss it after Big Bear came back.

It's just that before Chen Xingyan mentioned the matter of buying someone to Lu Daxiong, several mouths were added to the family.

When Chen Xingyan came out and saw a few people standing in the main room, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Big Bear, what is this?"

Lu Daxiong quickly pointed to one of the men with a broken arm and said, "I met him in the barracks, and he's also from our Gaoyang County, but it's about forty or fifty miles away from us. Back then he broke his arm. Afterwards, the general gave me some subsidies and returned home."

Chen Xingyan nodded, his eyes swept over the people next to him.

A woman who looked at least in her thirties, her face was full of vicissitudes, her eyes were dull, it seemed that she was only numb and confused.

There are also two children, who are not very old, and both are thin and thin.

"This is his wife, and these are his two sons and daughters."

Chen Xingyan nodded, and asked people to sit down and talk.

"Erzhong, sit down and talk."

Wang Erzhong shook his head, looked down at his shoes with exposed toes, and then looked at the mud all over his body. How could he have the nerve to sit on such a clean chair?

Chen Xingyan also saw that they were uncomfortable, so he called Changpu in.

"You call Xiao Liu over, and then go to the stove to boil some more pots of hot water for them to bathe in."

"Yes, ma'am."

Calamus moved nimbly, and Lu Xiaoliu came over in a short while.

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"

"I remember that there is still an empty room in the Westinghouse. You take their family there first, and help the calamus deliver the hot water later, and then see what they lack and come and tell me."

"Understood, sister-in-law."

Lu Xiaoliu led Wang Erzhong's family out. Wang Erzhong's lips pursed a few times, his eyes showed gratitude, and some finally saw the light of hope.

After the person left, Chen Xingyan asked Lu Daxiong to explain the details.

Lu Daxiong sighed and told some things about Wang Erzhong in the barracks at that time.

"I was patrolling the town today, and I saw a child picking up gray pancakes on the ground to eat, so I followed him. I didn't know that Erzhong recognized me first when I saw their family of four crowded in the ruined temple. That's how I knew it was him."

Wang said sympathetically, "It must be difficult for a man of his age to lose an arm. But I remember that the old, weak, and disabled would be placed in the military camp? How could he be reduced to this point? "

Regarding some policies in the barracks, Wang also heard from Lu Daxiong.

Lu Laohan shook his head and said: "The superiors will help, but how much they can get depends on how much conscience the superiors have!"

This is the truth.

Chen Xingyan frowned and said, "Then what are you talking about? How do you plan to arrange them?"

Lu Daxiong hesitated for a moment and said: "He said that he wanted me to buy their family of four, and they had no complaints as slaves. They had just arrived in Qingshui Town for a few days, and they had just heard about me. If you want to try your luck in a few days and ask me to borrow money, you would never expect to meet me in this situation."

"The former comrades, if you really let them be slaves, would you feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Daxiong shook his head, there was nothing awkward about it.

The military camp is also strictly managed and hierarchical. The reason why Wang Erzhong didn't come to him immediately when he heard about him was mainly because he felt that there was a difference between them, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

"It's not easy for you to mention this matter. After all, you used to work together. Let's have a look first and then talk about it."

After Chen Xingyan finished speaking, he looked at Wang again and said, "Mother, I may have to make more for dinner today. I'm afraid Aunt Qi is too busy alone, so I have to trouble you."

Mrs. Wang got up immediately and said: "Yes, yes, there is dinner, look at my memory. You chat first, I will go to the kitchen to have a look."

It's not that Chen Xingyan sent his mother-in-law on purpose, but there are some things that need to be clarified first.

"Big Xiong, what is the character of this Wang Erzhong? Where is his ancestral home? Also, how did he fall to this point? We must find out the ins and outs of the matter clearly!"

Lu Laohan also agreed with his face, and he couldn't rashly take in people who didn't know the basics.

Their family is considered to have some wealth now, but they can't lure wolves into the house.

"Well, I'll have a good chat with him after dinner. I'll ask someone to inquire about it tomorrow."

After Wang Erzhong's family washed up, they all changed into old clothes and shoes brought by Changpu.

The family of four reappeared in the main room, without saying a word, they all knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

Lu Daxiong frowned, stepped forward and forcibly picked up Wang Erzhong, "Speak up if you have something to say, we don't like this."
