Traveling through a doctor's daughter to marry a virtuous man

Chapter 710 Only Saved One 5
"What about the taels of silver? Although the merchants have raised the price of rice and grain, at least the taels of silver can last for a while." Lian Guanlang said.

"Bah! What taels of silver!" The county magistrate spat directly on the ground, "Except for the whole box of pebbles, I didn't see a penny!"

"This corrupt person is too lawless, isn't he? At least five tons of food are left, and all the silver has been swallowed?" Lu Ziwan was stunned. It is not uncommon for officials in the 21st century to be corrupt and accept bribes, but they have never seen the courage. As an official like Fei Cheng, the lion opened his mouth wide, leaving no way for others to survive.

"Money, if you don't bring it with you when you die, what do these people do with so much money? This is the life-saving money of the people!" After the food from the imperial court has passed, there is no more food, and if it doesn’t rain anymore, even the grass won’t grow, and the wild vegetables have been dug up long ago, so we have to eat bark and leaves?”

"It's good if you have the bark and leaves to eat. Where can you find bark and leaves in other villages? If you can dig up the roots, you will be robbed." The county magistrate shook his head, "It's really a crime. In this drought, there was also a flood in the south, and it rained for ten days in a row, flooding many places."

"Master, how do you know?"

"One of my relatives took refuge in the south with their children, but they encountered floods and almost drowned. Then they wrote a letter and sent it to me asking me to borrow money to escape to a farther place." County Grandpa sighed, "The imperial court still doesn't know about the waterlogging in the south!"

Everyone fell into silence, and the villagers looked disappointed, because they were disappointed with the court. They pinned their hopes on the court, but their hopes were shattered. With so many victims, what is five tons of food enough for?As the county magistrate said, should each person be given a grain of rice?Even so, this is not necessarily enough.

"I'll ask the yamen servants to come and get the medicine. The county yamen still has something to do. I want to leave first. The rice grains distributed will also be handed out to each village by the yamen servants." The county magistrate got up, shook his head, sighed and left.

Looking at the back of the magistrate leaving, Lu Ziwan thought to herself, although this magistrate is a bit greedy and fearful of death, he is still a clean and honest official. Perhaps it is good for those who are greedy for life and fear of death to be officials, at least they have no guts to embezzle, and they can do as much as they can. He is also a good parent officer to the extent that he does.

"Will there be waterlogging in Fencheng?" He Chunmei asked.

Even Guan Lang and the others shook their heads. They didn't know. They had been staying in this village and didn't know anything about the outside world. Besides, it was a special period, and no one would be willing to go outside. At least there were still trees in this village. have water.

"Mom, are you still angry with me?" After leaving the village chief's house, He Chunmei took Pinellia to go back to the villagers' house where she was temporarily staying. Lu Ziwan quickly grabbed He Chunmei.

"Mother, why aren't you angry? If you dared to agree to go to another village just now, Mother would beat you to death as if you had never given birth to your daughter!" He Chunmei was still angry. Worried about the two of them, she was also angry with Lu Ziwan, who was going to be a mother, and still acted according to her temper.

"Mother, I'm sorry, it's me and my wife who made mother worry." Lian Guanlang and Lu Ziwan followed He Chunmei from left to right, apologizing sincerely.

"Mother, I am a doctor. Seeing that I have snatched back so many lives from Hades, I feel very proud. Mother, didn't you say that to be a man is to be worthy of one's conscience? If I don't have the ability to save them, I will Of course I won’t try to save her, but I can. If I don’t, my conscience will be disturbed for the rest of my life.” Lu Ziwan shook He Chunmei’s arm, “Mother, do you want to watch your daughter become insensitive and heartless? People with lungs?"

"I hope you are heartless! You, just like your father, think about other people's well-being, and don't think about what to do about yourself? This is a plague, not a headache, said Cure it." He Chunmei looked at Lu Ziwan reproachfully, "What if something happens to your mother? Mother doesn't want a white-haired person to give a black-haired person."
