Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 36 The Wen Family

Wen Hao looked at the rain and frowned. It was getting worse every day. Now there are some places in the town where you can't get off your feet. When you go to some roads in the county, the water will reach the calf. If it goes on like this, you really have to get along. Those merchants informed that they could not deliver the goods for the time being.

Although the family has not set up a stall recently, they have been busy in the yard for a while without stopping. The milk sellers in the heavy rain county are really not easy to sell, and the milk from the cows must be squeezed out every day. Wen Wen Well, I wanted to drop by to buy cows.

But the rain was too heavy, and it was too far away to buy and it was not easy to take it back. It happened to happen, so I decided not to buy cows, and spent a little more money to buy milk and go back.

The three of them pulled six barrels of milk and spent two taels of silver, equivalent to a leg of a cow, so be careful.

At this moment in Wenjia Village, all the people in the village and the head of the family gathered in the patriarch's house. Many of them fainted from crying and then woke up again. They continued to cry and fainted after a while. He looked at the patriarch with a brush.

Wen Fuwang, who was sitting in the high hall, was also thinking about countermeasures, but couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.

Now the houses of two families in the village have collapsed, including Wen Fugui's family and three houses were crushed by mudslides, and the roofs of the low-lying houses in the village were flooded, and the food was gone. It was originally a small village, but now we live in The six families on the slope were not affected by the disaster.

Everyone moved to these few families, what if the rain doesn't stop.Grandma Dong stood up, very anxious: "Wen Fuwang, you are farting, you are the head of the clan and the head of the village, you should make some contributions to the village, otherwise, you will collect so many things from everyone during the holidays. Is your conscience okay?"

In this village, Grandma Dong dared to disrespect the patriarch in this way, because the daughter of the family was not afraid of the patriarch wearing small shoes.

The patriarch felt embarrassed, but what could she do if the situation was so serious, unless she told God to stop the rain.There is still one way to go now, just one way: "Now for our Wen family to get through safely, there is only one way, and that is to join the family, gather all the food we have, and eat a big pot of rice. Let's grow some food together after the rainstorm stops, and help the suffering people tide over the difficulties."

But this unlucky person has something to look forward to, but people whose interests have been damaged will naturally not agree.Wen Liu's family was the first to stand up: "I don't agree. According to the patriarch's opinion, the people in our village only eat and drink in our six families? Why, the food in the family is exhausted by ourselves. Saved up hard."

These six families also include Wen Fuwang, she is not happy with what she said, does she just want to?The one with the most food among the six families must be her own. She hasn't said anything, and she is reluctant, but she still clearly distinguishes between food and everyone's lives.

"Wen Liu, am I not one of the six families? My family has the most food among our six families. I am an example. Aren't you from the Wen family? You are so hard-hearted. No one in the village used to help your family? Your second daughter If you can’t pay the tuition fees, it’s because the third uncle asked you to chop firewood to pay for it, otherwise your second child has books to read.”

Wen Liu was speechless after being told this, and the patriarch had set an example, so how could they say no.

The head of the patriarch said with a dark face: "Let's do it like this, let's break up. Those of you who have lost your home live in someone else's house. Don't be cheeky and lazy. If you eat other people's house and live in other people's house, help out more."

Fortunately, the rain stopped three days later and the water receded, but the village was in a mess, and the few families in the village were all straw houses. Where they could stand the big blisters, we could only try our best to put valuables in the residue. Turn things out.

The patriarch looked at the situation and realized that the big pot of rice in the village would not be able to escape, otherwise two-thirds of the families would not have jobs, but the big pot of rice is not delicious.

If this is a big pot meal, Fugui and his family have to be called in, it's all because of the flood, so there's no need to ignore that family.Let my daughter call a representative from Wen Fugui's family in the town to come back for a meeting.

When Wen Fugui heard what was going on in the village, he was so old that he cried and cried: "Then how are you all?".

Wen Tan never let out a smile as soon as he entered the door: "Uncle Fugui, this is the situation, and it is because of this that the patriarch asked me to come here. My mother said that if your family is in trouble, you can go back to the village. There is room for these things." .

Glancing at the cows in their family again, he already knew what was going on. I'm afraid this is unnecessary, and the cows can't afford to live if they can afford it.

Then he added: "If you are alive, I will help you. They are all from the same village of Wen's family."

If you don't do this, you probably won't be able to go back in the future.

Now Wen Hao is the head of the family, Wen Fugui can't make a decision even if she thinks about it, this family is all owned by a little girl, Wen Fugui looked at the silent little girl beside her.Wen Hao didn't expect such a thing to happen. She couldn't take care of herself, and she had the ability to help, but she also thought about the money given by the villagers when she came to study in the town before, and gave food to those who had no money. This kindness she It's worth it, she agreed after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons. "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow and have a meeting with everyone to see what the rules will be in the future."

After sending Wen Tan away, Wen Fugui stared blankly at Wen Haohao for a while, then patted Wen Hao on the shoulder in great relief: "I'm sorry, it was my mother who scolded you by mistake before, and my mother will never scold you again, you He is a good boy who knows how to repay his kindness."

Naturally, Wen Hao did this not entirely because of the reason of knowing how to repay his kindness. On the other hand, it was because he needed manpower to do things, but manpower was not so easy to find. Now that he understood the concept of clan , that can't be completely restricted. If the Wen family is tied up, being a grasshopper on a rope may not be a good thing for oneself.

Wen Hao returned to Wenjia Village the next day, and they all gathered in Wen Fuwang's yard. There were more than two hundred people, but Wen Tan was fine yesterday, but today he looked sad for some reason.After asking this question, I found out that last night, Wen Fuwang was feeling sad when he watched the moon in the yard. He couldn't help but went for a walk in the village to look at the fields, but he stepped on the ground and something happened.

The leg is broken, and the mouth is crooked and the eyes are squinted, but the consciousness is clear. According to Ji Shipo, a tendon was broken, so there is something wrong with the facial nerves. Now on the reclining chair at the gate of the yard, there are silver needles all over his face. , surrounded by slobber, speaking indistinctly.

Wen Fuwang is suffering, it is really suffering, and now he can't protect himself, how can he manage the affairs of the village.He said with difficulty: "Oh, oh, oh, I'm afraid, it doesn't seem to work, you guys, let's choose a patriarch."

After he finished speaking, that face twitched unnaturally, and the people in the village couldn't bear to look at it. Some weak people's hearts were already gloomy. Could it be that God didn't leave Wen's behind.

Wen Lan on the side is Wen Fuwang's eldest daughter, who is translating what her mother said: "My mother asked everyone to choose another person to replace her. My mother is really powerless."

The people in this yard exploded in an instant. How do you choose? If there is something good, someone will definitely stand up, but now it is a mess.

Thinking about it, the most promising one in the village now belongs to Grandma Dong’s family. Everyone looked at Grandma Dong’s family in unison: “Grandma Dong, can the eldest daughter of your family come back to host the host? Officials who leave our village, we can’t ignore our village’s suffering.”

Grandma Dong thought about it, but she wasn't the one who could call the eldest daughter back with just one mouthful. Besides, how did the people in her village know about her family's difficulties? He promised: "It would be great if I could come back, but if I leave my post privately, I will be decapitated, and if it is serious, I will beheaded to punish the nine tribes. Our whole village will have to be beheaded."

No one dared to speak if their lives were involved, but Grandma Dong hadn't finished her sentence yet: "But my letter has already been written, and the village was hit by a disaster. I asked my two children to do their best to help. The food came back for emergency."

Wen Hao has been silent in the back, Grandma Dong rolled her eyes, and her granddaughter Youxin is a good one. Although she didn't get into the official position, Rong'er praised her so much when she was at home. Selfish, it must be because she loves her old best friend, of course, it depends on whether Wen Hao can compete or not.

Wen Hao was thinking about how to recommend himself to be convincing, but he didn't expect someone to help him.Grandma Dong: "I would like to recommend a person. Although he is young in our village, he is capable and insightful. His business has gone to the county seat."

Grandma Dong really didn't know that Wen Hao's business had gone to the county seat, she was just exaggerating a little bit.

Someone immediately asked, when did such a person appear in their village, and no one believed it at all.

Grandma Dong pointed to Wen Hao at the back: "There is a new granddaughter. Didn't she move to the town a while ago? Of course you don't know."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Wen Hao.Wen Hao was not timid about the gazes of so many people, she was calm and content, and nodded in the direction of Grandma Dong. She knew that high-sounding words would be of no use now, she had to let everyone see the benefits directly, success or failure depended on it.

While talking, he slowly walked up to the steps where Wen Fuwang was: "It's not a big business to get more compliments from Grandma Dong. If you trust me, you can follow me. They are all simple things. Overcoming difficulties, you can still make money, as long as you work hard, you can ensure that each of you can earn at least a few hundred yuan a month, and at most it is hard to say, it is possible for one person to earn a few taels.”After finishing talking, Wen Hao just walked up to the steps and looked at everyone in the yard.

After the words were finished, it immediately caused a commotion. Some people were very excited, but who would not be excited if they had this opportunity, but some people didn't believe how it was possible to make so much money.

"Little girl of the Wen family, what do you do for a living, what if it doesn't work?".

Wen Hao's calm answer did not seem to be deceitful at all: "It sells tea and cakes, tea and cakes that cannot be made in other places."
