Chapter 248 Of course not

One or two hundred pounds, enough to eat for a month or two!
After hearing this, the villagers in Lizi Village felt as hot as having boiling water poured on them.

A villager asked: "Village Chief, what should we do if we don't dig enough [-] kilograms? Will your family provide us with supplies?"

The current village chief is not the one who begged everyone to plant ginger. He said with a sharp look in his eyes: "You don't have to dig it. If you starve to death by then, you won't have to eat."

It’s funny. It’s good to find food these days. One pound is lucky, one hundred pounds is blessing. How can I get more than 100 pounds of yams after working hard, and he still needs to make up for it?Better not to dig!This way each household can dig more.

The man was scolded by the village chief so much that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. He retreated to the back of the crowd and was too embarrassed to face the village chief.

"Village Chief, now that we have found food, let's go dig it quickly. What are we waiting for!"

"Let's go, finish digging the food and go home early, and feel at ease early!"

The people who gathered were as enthusiastic as if their buttocks were on fire.

The village chief took the opportunity and said seriously: "Everyone, please be quiet. Although digging food this time is a lot of work, I have a selfish idea. Please listen carefully. Our Lizi Village is a big family. We all have prosperity and loss." Everyone will suffer. The incident of Granny Lin starving to death some time ago caused panic in the whole village, so I proposed that all villagers who participated in digging yams must hand over a certain amount of yams to each household and put them in the ancestral hall to provide for the elderly, weak and sick who have no relatives. If the amount is less than [-] jins, each family will get [-] jins; if the amount is more than [-] jins but not more than [-] jins, each family will get [-] jins; if the amount is more than [-] jins, [-] jins will be given out!"

The village chief did not want to see the old people in the village starving to death. Even if it aroused the resistance and anger of the villagers, he had to express his thoughts. Then he took out a contract from his pocket and placed it in front of him.

"This is a commitment document. If you are willing to donate food to support the widows and widowers in the village, come forward and put your fingerprints. Then go home and pick up tools and prepare to go up the mountain. If you don't want to, just go home and wash and sleep. There is no need to go up the mountain!"

Once the village chief said this, how could there be any objections?If you could really dig up a hundred kilograms, it would be nothing to put five kilograms away in the ancestral hall. So people who figured it out stepped forward to press their fingerprints, and then went home to get tools.

Liu Xianhua came forward with Taolu and asked dissatisfiedly, "Village chief, my big tiger is injured, and my ancestral roots are young. I and a maid are the only ones running the house. Two ladies can't dig much, otherwise Can you please be accommodating and stop collecting food from my family?"

"Then your family can stop digging in the mountains, okay?"

"Of course not!" Liu Xianhua was so excited that foam flew from her mouth, directly onto the village chief's face.

The village chief's face turned dark and he returned her words unchanged, "Of course not!"

Anyone who digs food in the mountains must pay part of it to prepare for emergencies. Why should Liu Xianhua’s family be so special?

The family's conditions are so good that they can use a maid, but they still argue with the villagers about the few kilograms of life-saving food. Sure enough, it is unkind to be rich! !
The village chief shook his head in disappointment, ignored Liu Xianhua, and greeted Jin Zhong, asking him to take the Jin family's sons up the mountain to dig for a while. This was considered a special treatment for the Jin family.

After that, he waited at the entrance of the village. After a while, except for the idle scoundrels chasing cats and dogs, all the people in the village who were able to work went up the mountain with the village chief.

When Yuan Bao knew that all the adults in the village had gone to dig for food, he untied Xiao Hong's reins tied to the pillar, awkwardly climbed onto the horse's back, and grabbed Xiao Hong's mane. The maroon horse immediately became like a flash of red lightning. , rushing towards Lanzhou Town.
