After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 128 Doubt and Trust
As the days passed and the weather gradually warmed up, the ice in the river channel finally began to melt. As the river water began to slip away normally, the river water that kept gushing out of the embankment also slowly returned to the river channel.

But even so, the submerged villages and fields will not be exposed for a while, and the refugees are still homeless and have nowhere to go.

At this time, the tax grains left in the county and the grain donated by wealthy households had also been consumed, and there was still no news of the disaster relief grains.

Shen Jingcheng saw that getting rich households to donate food was not an option, so he quietly let people spread a message.

The hometown of their county grandpa hires short-term laborers to farm every year. As long as they are strong and willing to work, they can go there to earn a living. Maybe the food earned by one person can feed the whole family. No matter how poor they are, they will not be hungry. Death, after all, is a way of life.

If you are interested, you can go to the Gujia grain shop in the county to ask for it, and if you don't know, you can go to Qingshan County.

And as people came to Gu's grain store in twos and threes to inquire, Gu Jin also appeared in the grain store, and at the same time, there were a few more yamen servants at the entrance of the grain store.

Gu Jin directly stated the request to go to Qingshan County, if anyone wants to work in Shenjia Village, Qingshan County, it is fine.The Gu family food shop is responsible for sending people to Qingshan County, where they are in charge of food and housing, and each person is given one liter of food per day.

This one liter of grain per day can be provided by their family members who cannot go to Qingshan County. Based on this person's account card, they can receive the grain for the corresponding number of days they work on the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th of each month.

Of course, this is only possible if the person who does the work has to sign and sign at the Gujia Grain Shop. If the person does not sign and sign, the food can be picked up by himself at the place where he works, and no one in Yuhe County can take it.

As soon as such a condition came out, the refugees were in an uproar.

That is to say, they travel thousands of miles to work, so they don't have to bring the whole family with them, and the family can get the food they deserve here.

To be honest, one liter of food a day is not too much, but it will never make people starve to death, right?It would be even better if there were more young people in the family. Not only would they be able to eat enough in the place where they worked, but the food they earned would definitely feed the family members who stayed here.

Of course, some people think this regulation is very good, and some people think it is not good, and some people even wonder if the wife of the county magistrate wants to treat them as slaves by bringing so many people there.

Regarding those people's doubts, Gu Jin did not respond at all, only one sentence.

It's all voluntary, go if you like, and don't go if you don't like it.

Those who don't want to go have to leave Yuhe County anyway, there is no food for them to eat here.

Gu Jin's attitude made the skeptics even more skeptical, without even an explanation, it's obviously something tricky.

Those who do not doubt become more confident.After all, if it was true as those skeptics said, then Gu Jin would have to say good things and go to Qingshan County to deceive people. How could his attitude be so perfunctory?

As a result, the refugees were divided into two groups. One group immediately packed up their bags and left with their families, while the other group started to sign up enthusiastically. Of course, there were still some who were hesitant to wait and see.

For these people, Gu Jin also gave a time limit.

Three days, after three days, the registration will be over, the refugees who should go to Qingshan County go to Qingshan County, and those who should leave immediately leave
Miss these three days and still want to sign up?Sorry, no more.

If you want to go to Qingshan County, go by yourself, no one will show you the way.

And even if you go, your family members will not be able to receive food at the Gu family store in Yuhe County.

Do you want to give the food you earn to your family?Figure out your own way, the Gu Family Food Shop is not responsible.

As soon as the regulations came out, some who hesitated but wanted to fight for a way out signed up, while those who felt that freedom was more important than life left Yuhe County with those who were skeptical.

In less than three days, the applicants who were supposed to sign up were basically all gone. Gu Jin fulfilled his promise and waited in the shop until the evening of the third day.

Now that the refugees outside the city should have left, there was nothing to do in the Shenjingcheng County Yamen, so they came to accompany Gu Jin when they were off duty, and let the yamen servants and shopkeepers guarding the grain shop go back to rest by the way.

These days are very busy, and these people are also very tired.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that the two of them saw that no one had come, so they began to pack up the booklets recording refugees and prepared to go back to the county office.

And just when the two of them packed up the booklets and were about to close the door, a person sneaked in from the shop. It was a woman in patched clothes, holding a three or four-year-old boy in her arms.

Gu Jin was taken aback when he saw this woman. This person was none other than the strange woman who had quarreled with Mr. Song and Mrs. Song on the street that day.

She subconsciously glanced at Shen Jingcheng, why did this man come here, and he still looks like a thief.

"Husband, madam." The woman didn't dare to look at Shen Jingcheng, her gaze subconsciously fell on Gu Jin, and she asked eagerly, "Can I still sign up for Qingshan County?"

Gu Jin looked at Shen Jingcheng subconsciously, and Shen Jingcheng smiled at her, letting her do what she wanted.

Gu Jin then asked the woman suspiciously, "Do you want to sign up?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded quickly.

"With this child?" Gu Jin asked again.

"Can't you?" The woman asked a little nervously.

"Then do you want to pick up your grain in Qingshan County, or let your family pick it up from the grain shop here?" Gu Jin didn't answer her question, and continued to ask.

"Get it yourself, I want to get it myself." The woman said quickly.

"What about your family?" Gu Jin asked with a hint.

"The family is separated. We separated a few years ago. Since Song's second child married another, after I had this child, I separated from them." The woman was very eager to put aside the relationship with the Song family: "They are not my family now, I am free."

She was really afraid that Gu Jin would give the food she had earned through hard work to the Song family.

"Separated? Are you free now?" Gu Jin was very surprised.

As for the family that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, it will so easily allow a person who is still valuable to separate?
"Yes, I used children to coerce me to separate the family." Seeing that Gu Jin didn't seem to believe it, the woman hurriedly explained: "They are very cruel, if I don't have children in my stomach, I will always be suppressed by that family That is, because of this child, I have separated the family in the name of the man who died young in name."

somehow?She always felt that if she didn't clarify her relationship with the Song family, the wife of the county magistrate would not let her sign up to leave.And the things about her and the Song family are not a secret in the village, there is nothing to hide.

Gu Jin didn't expect that there would be such a problem. After a while, he asked her: "Then you... don't you want to have anything to do with the Song family anymore?"

"I don't want to." The woman shook her head, her eyes full of bitterness: "Since I worked so hard for that man to be admitted to Tongsheng, but that man married another person, I don't feel that I owe the Song family anything? Besides, I don't miss my My son has such a father, and I don't want my son to be a cow and a horse for that couple for the rest of his life."

Gu Jin became silent when she heard this, the woman thought that Gu Jin was unwilling to have her, and was just about to ask if she could beg her, but she suddenly smiled.
