The whole village flees famine and gnaws bark, I have a system to not panic

Chapter 202 None of them want to contribute

Qin Xinyi saw it in her eyes and knew that they had changed a lot now than before before they fled, but she felt that it was not enough.

The second child looked at the third child as if he was watching a good show.

Qin Xinyi said angrily, "Second brother, the job of serving food is yours. If you didn't distribute it well, is it also your responsibility?"

The second child was wailing in his heart and muttering, "Let me watch the show, just watch it, I deserve it."

He felt aggrieved today, but could he speak out?No, otherwise my mother will fix her even more, so she quickly admits her mistake, "Mom, I admit my mistake, I didn't do my job well, I just wanted to eat!"

Qin Xinyi looked at everyone and saw that they didn't say anything, and then said, "Our family has enough food, but I don't want you all to become selfish. Not only the third and second children, but also the others." Think about it.”

"Okay, let's all disperse! Go and do whatever you have to do."

Everyone else lowered their heads and no one dared to raise their heads.

Not long after in this low-pressure atmosphere, I heard the sound of the village chief beating the gong.

"Boss, follow me to the village chief, while the others pack their things." Qin Xinyi took the boss out after giving instructions.

The others silently went about their work without saying much.

When we arrived at the open space near the village chief's house, many people had already gathered.

There are still some people coming here one after another.

It didn't take long for everyone in the village to arrive.

Everyone was talking quietly, discussing what the village chief wanted to do with them this time.

When Village Chief Feng saw that people had almost arrived, he cleared his throat and said, "Today, I have something to say, so everyone should be quiet."

The voices were much quieter, but there were still people whispering.

"It's like this. Two days ago, Mrs. Qin said that she wanted to build a waterwheel to collect water for irrigating the fields."

"Qin made the picture today, let me show it to everyone." Village Chief Feng said and asked for the picture in Carpenter Feng's hand to show it to everyone.

Everyone looked at it from a distance and couldn’t understand what it was?
Even those who were closer could not understand how this water tanker fetched water.

"What is this? We can't understand it either!"

"Yes, it is!"

"How does the village chief use this? Can it really divert water?"

Village Chief Feng heard that everyone was mainly discussing this issue.

"Carpenter Feng, come and tell everyone." Village Chief Feng asked.

Carpenter Feng scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law Qin painted this, so let her explain it!"

Qin Xinyi heard this and said quickly, "Carpenter Feng, I just love reading. When I went to the capital some time ago, I found such a book in a bookstore. I improved it. I don't quite understand how to do it. Let’s talk about Carpenter Feng.”

Feng Carpenter heard Qin Xinyi's words and knew that Qin Xinyi didn't want to appear in public, so he agreed to talk to him himself.

As he spoke, he walked to Village Chief Feng and faced the villagers.

Pointing to the picture, he said, "This is a small bucket for fetching water. This long handle is the branch connecting the small bucket. Here is the pedal, which needs people to step on. If the wind direction is right, the wind can also take the place of people to fetch water."

After Feng Carpenter's explanation, the villagers were still confused. They knew that if this was done, they could get water to irrigate the fields.

Carpenter Feng added that he had never done this before, so he had to fumble around while doing it, and it was still unknown whether he would be able to do it in the end.

Everyone sighed after hearing this.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Village Chief Feng continued, "It's like this. Carpenter Feng's family has no labor force. If he wants to study this waterwheel at home, the wasteland will probably not be able to drive much!" "If this waterwheel is built, If so, then our village will all benefit, so I think our village will help Carpenter Feng’s family to open up wasteland in proportion to the family’s population.”

Village Chief Feng's words were like a thunder on the ground, causing everyone to be silent.

But what followed immediately was a louder backlash.

Everyone said, "Why should I help his family open up wasteland?"

"I think the village chief is right. This will benefit everyone, and Carpenter Feng doesn't have to work alone."

"My back hurts when I stand and talk, why don't you help yourself?"

"Then this isn't something I can do with my help alone."

"Tch, I think you want to pretend to be a good person!"

"Hahaha."

One of the villagers said, "Village Chief Feng, if we can't do it, wouldn't our help be in vain?"

Everyone agreed, thinking that's it. If it can be done, it doesn't matter if you put in the effort. If it can't be done, then your hard work has been in vain.

Village Chief Feng was very angry when he saw that the villagers did not want to suffer any losses. He shouted loudly, "Jing Jing, if you don't want to help, then if it is done, you won't use it?"

"Village chief, how can that be done? Qin asked us to dig ditches at that time. We have already dug ditches. How can we not let them use them?"

Village Chief Feng became even angrier when he heard what everyone said, and said angrily, "Why are the ditches dug for the Qin family or for the villagers? Aren't they dug for you yourself?"

"But it was Qin's request that we dig it. Otherwise, how much more land could we dig?"

"That's right, village chief, could you please be reasonable?"

Village Chief Feng was so angry that he fell down.

Seeing that Village Chief Feng was very angry, Qin Xinyi also walked forward and said loudly, "Since no one is willing to contribute, then Carpenter Feng and I will do the water tanker work. My family will help open their land, but I won't let you know." Here, if everyone wants to use it, I won’t let you use it.”

"If someone uses it secretly and I find out about it, then you should think carefully about it. I will ask my unsatisfied brother to ask the government how long the sentence will be for such behavior."

"It's these wastelands. I said a lot of good things to my brother so that everyone didn't spend money. Other villages have spent money. Why do you think I'm taking advantage of you when I give you benefits?" That’s the mentality of a bastard, no matter how hard you ask everyone to put in some effort, they won’t even do it.”

"Okay, since you are unjust, don't blame me for being ruthless. If anything good happens in the future, it won't be a part of our village. I can find people from other villages to cooperate. I guess they will be very happy."

"When the time comes, we will water the ground easily, and you can use your own load to carry water!"

As soon as Qin Xinyi said these words, she originally wanted to help with the work, so she was directly expressing her stance.

Dazhu, Goudan'er, Zhao Orion, etc., who were close to Qin Xinyi, all said that they would provide people to do the work, and asked the village chief to count how many people their family would provide.

Qin Xinyi feels that most people are still good, and she is very pleased to see these people expressing their opinions.

Seeing that what Qin said was effective, Village Chief Feng took advantage of the victory and said, "Such a huge benefit is in front of us, but you don't even want it. If you just put in some effort, you can get it."

"You are so short-sighted. Otherwise, why can Mrs. Qin live a good life? You see, you are not as broad-minded as a woman. Mrs. Qin planned to study this waterwheel with Carpenter Feng, but she did not ask everyone to help open up wasteland. , although Mrs. Qin is a woman, she is also a whole person."

"Carpenter Feng originally didn't want everyone to help open up wasteland. He also knew that it was not easy for everyone, but it was easy for his family. Only his wife and eldest son could do some work. How much could the others do?"

"Okay, that's all I've said. If you want to help, sign up and I'll figure out how many days I can help you. You're not asked to help every day, and only one person from the family can help for a day and a half."

After Village Chief Feng said this, basically everyone in the village signed up. At first, they didn't understand and thought they were going to help their family every day!
Hearing the village chief's explanation, he felt more at ease. Even Zhang Laizi agreed. He probably made a bet with Qin and didn't dare to disagree.

He all agreed, and those who were hanging out with him could only agree.

The dispute ended quietly.
