Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 24

"Since I chose to settle in Nancheng Village, I dare not hide anything." Ding Shitou said sincerely.

"We were originally a wealthy family in Xuzhou, but our mother passed away early, and my father helped my aunt."

"We haven't had a good life since we were young. My father passed away in the fall of the year before last. Not long after, my stepmother kicked us out of the house together with unscrupulous people."

"It's a pity that we don't even have a change of clothes. If it weren't for the scattered money that Dad gave us before he was alive and let us hide it secretly, we wouldn't be able to go to Hangzhou at all..."

As Ding Shitou spoke, his eyes turned red, he forced out a few tears, and his voice choked up.

Sisters Ding Dian, Xiao Fu and Ling Dang behind them also wiped away their tears cooperatively, with extremely aggrieved expressions.

The voices of the villagers were quieted by Ding Shitou's words, and they all looked at them sympathetically.

Although the wealth of the extinct family is a piece of fat, the children of the Ding family are also very pitiful.

What's more, fatty meat requires money to eat, and they have no reason to stop others from spending money to eat it.

"My brothers and sisters never had a meal all the way, and sometimes we were beggars when we were hungry, but as long as we had something to eat, we would not reach out to beg for food. As long as we could find work, we would work hard."

"After a lot of hard work, I finally came to Hangzhou last winter to join my aunt, but my aunt's family has already moved away, and the house has been sold to others. We have no choice."

"There was nowhere to go in the city. I went out of the city and wanted to find a ruined temple to settle down. I walked all the way to Nancheng Village that day. Fortunately, Aunt Li in the village was kind enough to give me food to make me come back to life."

"Thanks to the kindness of the village chief's grandfather, who let us stay here, and what happened next... everyone knows." Ding Shitou rubbed his eyes with his hands again, and his tears became more watery.

"Thirty taels of savings that the few of us have accumulated since we were young is still enough. After all, when my father was alive, my stepmother still had to put on a face."

"If we couldn't find food along the way, we wouldn't have used it. There are two or three taels saved from work, and there are rewards from the rich master yesterday."

"It should be enough to buy the yard, the vegetable plot, the land deed, the household allowance procedures, and treat the villagers to a simple running water mat. After that, if we have spare money to buy some food, we can live on."

Ding Shitou fabricated his life experience fluently, successfully won everyone's sympathy, and then promised the Liushui Mat. As expected, the fierce opposition immediately turned around.

They lamented their difficulty and praised them for being sensible, good people will be rewarded.

Even the village chief smiled, the only one who was unhappy was the woman who caused trouble.

"Who knows if it's true or not, maybe the source of the money is unknown. Don't be fooled by them."

"Sister-in-law Chen, everyone knows what you are thinking, so stop talking about it."

"That's right, it's not a secret, and we don't deny that we have that idea, but now the children of the Ding family need this house more, and they can afford the money, so what's there to object to?"

"Even if they don't settle in our village at 30 taels, they can go to settle down elsewhere, but life is not so stable."

"No, it's rare that they are sensible. They are considered good in our village. Sister Chen, do you have to drive them away to be satisfied?"

"After the people are driven away, the house and the vegetable field are still empty. Maybe the Chen family will be able to spend 30 taels in the year of the monkey."

"..." The villagers started to target Chen Jiang after talking with each other.
