After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 23 Ingratitude
People didn't know what Shen Jingcheng was going to do, so they walked over with farm tools hesitantly.

When all these people came in front of them, Shen Jingcheng smiled slightly and asked everyone: "Yang Erniu said, you think it's unfair for me to work from the beginning to the end of the year, but I only let you plow more than ten mu of land with oxen. What? Is that what you mean?"

People heard that you look at me and I look at you, but no one said anything.

Gu Jin has been angry since hearing Yang Erniu's questioning, and now seeing the reactions of these people, he is even more angry.

Why?
If it weren't for himself and Shen Jingcheng, these people probably don't even have an acre of land now, and now that every family can have enough to eat, it doesn't feel fair, so what would they have done earlier.

As if sensing that Gu Jin was angry, Shen Jingcheng shook her hand reassuringly, and raised his voice to everyone.

"Since you all think so, I can't disregard your wishes. Well, from now on, you don't have to work for me. Although my wheat this year was eaten by locusts, you didn't do much work, but I still honor it. Promise, you can use cattle to plant your cropland, and after the plowing is completed, those who don’t want to come don’t have to come and work for me.”

After Shen Jingcheng's words fell, everyone was surprised.

so good?

You don't have to work, and you can still use cattle.

"That makes sense. If that's the case, I'll plow our land first." Yang Erniu thought that these people had joined forces to suppress Shen Jingcheng, so he took an ox and carried a plow and went there. Go to your own land.

Seeing this, Yang Shitou hurried to follow, but was grabbed by Gao Dazhuang.

"You let your son do this?" Gao Dazhuang asked in a low voice with a serious face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with that?" Yang Shitou looked nonchalant.

"You really don't plan to work for the chief?"

"Didn't he say he can quit?"

"After that, if you don't work for him, how do you want to plow the land after this season's grain is planted?"

"At that time, can I just ask the village chief again? Just like back then, he didn't use us at the beginning, but he didn't accept us in the end. That's fine, I have to plow quickly."

After finishing speaking, Yang Shitou threw away Gao Dazhuang and hurried to his own field. The other two families hesitated for a while when they heard Yang Shitou's words, and each pulled up a cow and carried the plow and left. The other family saw the cows and were taken away. He handed over the farm tools in Shen Jingcheng's hand and left.

There were a total of five families working for Shen Jingcheng, and seeing that four had already left, Gao Dazhuang was on the spot, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Shen Jingcheng asked in a gentle voice: "Aren't you leaving?"

I don't know why, Shen Jingcheng looked easy to talk at this time, but Gao Dazhuang's heart kept beating wildly, he hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively: "I, can I stay? Continue to work for you."

"They're all gone, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that they will unite to run on you?" Shen Jingcheng asked curiously.

Gao Dazhuang had a stalk in his heart.

How can he not be afraid, it doesn't matter if Shen Jingcheng lives alone on the slope, he and those people look down and see each other every day, once they are ganged up and squeezed out, how can life be easy?
"Go back, I'll go back too." Shen Jingcheng put away the farm tools in his hands and carried them on his shoulders, calling Gu Jin to go back together.

Gao Dazhuang was stunned, and it took him a long time to recover and lead his family back.

The ox and the plow had already been taken away by others, and even if he wanted to cultivate, he had to wait for those houses to be completed.

"Do you think these people will come back to work for us after farming?" Gu Jin asked Shen Jingcheng as he followed Shen Jingcheng home.

"Probably not, even if they want to do it, I don't plan to use them." Shen Jingcheng finally decided to tell Gu Jin what happened that night.

He didn't want Gu Jin to be kept in the dark, if those people became angry because of something in the future, she would be in danger who didn't know anything.

Gu Jin opened his mouth in disbelief, and turned his head to look at the few families who were already busy in the field, angry and disappointed.

Why are these people so cold-blooded?
Even if he and Shen Jingcheng didn't help them much, they didn't hurt them, right?
What kind of deep hatred made them take it for granted to let possible danger happen and ignore it?
"What do you think of those refugees?" Shen Jingcheng didn't want her to be immersed in this matter for too long, and turned to an irrelevant topic.

Gu Jin was taken aback by the question, but didn't react for a moment.

"Those refugees are now on the verge of life and death, but if I give them a way out, they will hold on to it. If anyone dares to cut off their way out, they will really do their best." Shen Jingcheng said with deep eyes, looking straight at Gu Jin was getting more and more puzzled.

"I want to take them in." Shen Jingcheng smiled and explained slowly to Gu Jin.

The people in Shimu Village treat him well on the surface, but judging from the patrol and today's incident, it is estimated that no matter how thoughtful I am for them, these people will not have any gratitude. Jealousy makes my heart unbalanced.

He had already seen those refugees, there were only 80 to [-] people in total, and there were more than a dozen households in total. They stayed here all the time, and they just didn't want to go back to the place where the yellow water was flooding.

It just so happened that the county government had a decree that refugees could settle down and open up wasteland. He could leave those refugees to compete with the people in Shimu Village, so that he and Gu Jin would not be too targeted.

As for how the remaining refugees live, he can completely follow what he did to Yang Shitou's family. As long as they are willing to work for themselves to plant winter wheat, then he will take care of these people to eat until the autumn harvest, and promise to let each refugee use cattle. Cultivate two acres of land.

As long as there are no accidents, these refugees will have their own harvest after the autumn harvest, so there is no need for him to raise them.

And starting from next year, he doesn't want to work with anyone in this way. He wants to hire long-term workers or short-term workers directly. In this way, there will be only interest exchanges, no human relations, and it is completely possible to avoid Yang Shitou and his family. things.

Gu Jin listened deeply, just like Shen Jingcheng said, if only permanent or short-term workers are hired, then they only need to pay wages or food, so that no one will feel that they pay more and get less, and feel unbalanced I want to push my limits.

"Then when are we going to find those refugees?" Gu Jin asked him.

"Let's wait a few days. We'll look for those farms when they're almost done." Seeing her agreement, Shen Jingcheng felt relieved.

Because of offending Shen Jingcheng, Liu Da has not dared to approach Shen Jingcheng in recent years. Now he lives in Yang Shitou's house and still does not have an acre of land.When the farming is slack, I dig some wild vegetables to eat by myself, and when the farming is busy, I mix some food for the children of Yang Shitou and Gao Dazhuang who can’t go out. He accidentally walked over with the youngest child of Yang Shitou's family in his arms.

"Why did you come back?"

Gao Dazhuang gulped cold water, and then told Liu Da what happened today.

"Tell me, isn't Erniu's behavior unreasonable?" Gao Dazhuang asked him.

Not only is it unethical, it's a bit ungrateful.

Liu Da's heart sank when he heard that, he handed over the child to Gao Dazhuang and went to the field to find Yang Shitou.As a result, when he arrived in the field, he told Yang Shitou to bring his family back to work for Shen Jingcheng quickly, but Yang Erniu interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Uncle Liu, our family has our own plans, so don't meddle in your own business if you're a loafer."

Have a free meal?have a finger in the pie?

Liu Da was surprised when he heard it, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Erniu looking at him with disgust, as if he was such a disgusting thing.

Liu Da was surprised. He also knew that Yang Erniu had become more and more impatient with him in the past two years, but he didn't expect that he was just a idler in his heart.

"Yang Shitou, do you think so too? I'm just an idler?" Liu Da couldn't care about a child, so he turned around and asked Yang Shitou.

"Don't ask my father." When Yang Erniu saw him asking Yang Shitou, he immediately strode forward to block him, and said unceremoniously: "Our family only owes you a few taels of silver. You've already taken advantage of it, don't be self-aware, pointing fingers at us like an old man every day, and I'll throw you out if you get annoyed, you have no place to cry."

Just owe him a few taels of silver?Giving him a pension is a big advantage for him?
Liu Da stared blankly at Yang Erniu who was glaring at him, then at Yang Shitou who was hiding behind him, and asked again: "Yang Shitou, come out and say something."

"You're deaf..." Seeing him still asking Yang Shitou, Yang Erniu pushed Liu Da angrily with staring eyes, but Liu Dafei kicked him to the ground without pushing him.

Liu Da has never been easy to provoke, Shen Jingcheng can't really beat him, but Yang Erniu, the two of them are not his size.

Yang Shitou didn't expect him to attack suddenly, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly checked his son's injuries, and seeing that he hadn't been kicked to any serious place, he complained to Liu Da with dissatisfaction: "Brother, you passed, what's the matter with you? Give you a pension?"

Seeing him like this, Liu Da closed his eyes and waved his hands, and only asked, "I, Liu Da, who am I, Liu Da, with you, Yang Shitou, am I just an idler like your son said. "

"Aren't you an idler? You don't have anything to ask for. If Gao Dazhuang and I hadn't provided for you all these years, how could you be where you are now? I can let Er Niu take care of you in the old age. What else do you want?" Son Being kicked, Yang Shitou was so angry that he spoke his mind on the spot.

Liu Da couldn't believe what he heard, and shook his head for a long time, then shook his head again, and finally let out a 'huh', half crying and half laughing, and opened his mouth awkwardly.

"I... won't bother your son Dajia to take care of me for the elderly, and you don't have to pay back the 18 taels of silver. Just treat it as my meal money at your house for the past few years. From then on, you, Yang Shitou, and Liu Da It doesn't matter, and you don't need to say hello when you meet in the future."

After Liu Da finished speaking, he left, with an indescribable sadness in his back.

He never thought about letting Yang Erniu take care of him in the old age. He really regarded Yang Shitou as a family member and stayed in the Yang family. An idler.

How did he come to such a point?

Yang Shitou looked at the back of Liu Da leaving, but he didn't care.

What big talk is he talking about? Liu Da now wants relatives but no relatives, money but no money, land and no land, where can he go?In the end, he didn't come to his house to beg for food.
