Wen Nuan insisted on giving money, all Deng Shi could do was to help her do the work well as soon as possible, and do the work carefully.

That night, Nuan Nuan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard the shouts of villagers from outside.

As soon as Nuan Nuan opened the door, he saw his shirtless father grabbing the hoe by the courtyard wall and rushing out.

"What happened?" Luo Shi came out of the room in surprise.

"Mother, you and Wulang stay at home, lock the door, I'll go and have a look with dad." Wen Nuan said and ran out.

Luo Shi wanted to stop her own daughter, but how could anyone be seen here?
"Mother?" Goro nervously grabbed his mother's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid, Wulang, let's go inside." Luo knew that she couldn't help if she went out, and the only thing she could do was to take good care of her youngest son.

Nuan Nuan rushed out of the house after her father, and almost all the men in the village came out.

Seeing that everyone was holding tools and torches in their hands, Wen Xingye asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Dozens of refugees have come to steal water from our well!" Someone replied.

It turned out that Deng Shi rushed to work overnight in order to make the things that Wen Nuan wanted as soon as possible. His house was close to the No. 2 well. As soon as he came out, he saw a figure by the well. refugees.

After being blocked by the villagers of Qing'ao Village, those refugees begged the villagers: "Please do me a favor, we are almost dying of thirst, please give us some water to drink."

The old village head looked around, saw the warm figure, and called out to her.

Wen Nuan walked up to the crowd: "Grandpa, the village chief."

The old village chief handed over the decision to Nuan Nuan: "Nuan Nuan, you tapped the well water, do you want to give them some water?"

"I can't give it!" Wen Nuan's tone was firm, and his eyes swept across the faces of these refugees: "They had a choice, but they didn't want to stay. Now they want to pick up ready-made ones. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

This Anping County is not as dry as their Zhongzhou. If you look farther away, you can still find some water sources, but these people just want to opportunistic!
Who is used to them!
"That's right!" Yang Dazhu and Deng Shi were the most angry: "If you were willing to stay and help back then, you would have had a share in our good life, but you not only didn't want to stay and help, but also made sarcastic remarks behind your back. Water is impossible for you!"

If San Lang hadn't been pulled by his father, he would have rushed forward to fight these people.

Wen Nuan looked at the old village head again, and said sternly, "Grandpa Village Chief, it's not that I'm cruel, but that there are more and more refugees now. If we start this way, more and more refugees will flock to our village in the future. Water, the situation at that time may not be under our control.”

These people can keep an eye on their water sources, and they can covet the crops in their villages in the future. This kind of thing must be put an end to!

The old village head looked solemn: "You are right, we really cannot condone these people."

Liao Yong frowned: "Then how do we deal with these people?"

Warm and cold face: "Send off to the official!"

They now need the government to come forward to help deter those refugees who secretly try their best.

The old village head hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Right now there is a lack of food everywhere, the yamen cannot detain these people, send them to the yamen, the county magistrate will beat them a few times at most, and then release them."

These people have become so thin, how can they stand up to a few boards?
"Grandpa the village chief, I already understand what I mean, but you are the village chief of our Xinqing'ao Village, so it's up to you to decide what to do in the end." Nuan Nuan just wants to protect the people around her, but she won't do it for her.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Nuan Nuan is right, indulging them is tantamount to harming ourselves, send them to officials!" Sanlang yelled out of anxiety.

When the refugees who stole water heard that they were going to be sent to the government, their legs were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to them: "No! Please don't send us to the government..."

"All of us need to be taken care of by the old and the young. Please do me a favor and don't send us to officials..."

"We won't dare again in the future, we promise we won't come to steal water again, please don't send us to officials..."

The cries of these people quickly made the villagers who had the same experience empathize with them, and felt pity for them. Some women even wiped their tears, and even Su Shi, who came late, showed sympathy.

Sending these people to the government is tantamount to directly killing these people!
After all, the old village head and the villagers relented.

Wen Nuan couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or anger, she glanced over there indifferently, turned and left.

Saburo supported sending these people to the government, but no one responded to him, and he ran to find warmth angrily.

Nuan Nuan and his family were still awake. The torch was stuck on a mud block specially used for torches, and they were talking in the living room.

Saburo opened the door cursingly and walked in: "Nuan Nuan, the village head grandpa is really stupid, ouch~~"

Before he finished speaking, his head was slapped hard by his father who followed him: "It's not big or small!"

"Father, why do you agree to let those people go?" San Lang said angrily, "They are just a bunch of bad guys who specialize in stealing things!"

Saburo still remembers those refugees who robbed them of money at the city gate.

Of course, people like Yang Dazhu and Deng Shi were already in the same group as him, so he didn't complain.

"You have no eyesight, didn't you see that the villagers don't want to send those people to the government?" Wen Xing's family said angrily: "This village is not only our former villagers, but also people who are close to Qing'ao Village. The village chief also has his concerns, so can't you be considerate?"

"What's the use of being considerate, when the water will be robbed, the whole village will die of thirst, and the crops will die of drought!"

"What are you father and son arguing about? You can hear it from across the house!" Old Man Wen's voice sounded at the door, followed by the boss Wen Xingzu and Da Lang.

"It's so late, why is everyone here?" Wen Xingye helped the old man to sit on the newly made stool.

"What do you think of what happened tonight?" Mr. Wen asked his sons straight to the point.

The three brothers exchanged glances without saying a word.

"You all think those people shouldn't be let go, right?" Mr. Wen sighed worriedly: "Actually, I don't agree either."

Now Sanlang has found an ally: "Father, you see, grandpa doesn't like letting those people go, the village chief grandpa is too kind of a woman!"

Wen Xingjia couldn't take it anymore: "Shut up!"

Letting those people go is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Don't they know this?

It has been said that the village chief has his difficulties, why can't this brat listen to him?

Saburo wanted to retort, but was stopped by Mr. Wen: "Okay, you two are going to quarrel and go back to quarrel, we still have to discuss things."
