Chapter 154 Second Miss is a Big Evil

Looking at this scene, Yingchu frowned, and before she could speak, Hua Yu was so angry that she almost jumped up.

"What's the matter with you?" He pointed at the field manager and said angrily, "How can a group of children be allowed to farm? Where did these children come from? Are you oppressing them?"

"Tian Guanshi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!" Yingchu also turned cold.

Steward Tian waved his hands again and again, and said, "Second Miss, Eldest Young Master, don't misunderstand! The young ones have children, how can they do such immoral things! These children are from Yujia Village across the river, they are all poor children what!"

The field manager explained that this field went east, and there was a village in Yujia Village, which lived in the lower reaches of the small river. This piece of land was rented and planted by people from Yujia Village.

In summer, the river swelled and flooded the vegetable fields on the bank. People in Yujia Village ventured into the water to harvest vegetables. Unexpectedly, the dam upstream suddenly burst, and the flood flooded down, washing away many people, and they were all in their prime. labor force.

Tian Guanshi lamented: "That small river is not too wide. In previous years, people were rarely drowned when flooded. Who would have thought that such a big disaster would happen suddenly this year!"

The sudden loss of so many labor forces in Yujia Village is naturally a major event that the whole village mourns. Needless to say, the grief is overwhelming. Funerals and disability treatment cost money.In the autumn harvest, all the old and weak, women and children went to the fields to harvest. The heavy labor overwhelmed the adults, and they fell ill and died. In the end, only these children were left.

Hua Yu's eyes turned red when he heard this: "Then you can't let a group of children farm! Why didn't you report such a big thing to the government? What about the court? Didn't the court help Yujia Village?"

Steward Tian remained silent.

Yingchu knew that he must have reported it to the Huafu, but the old lady and the Marquis of Huajun would definitely ignore it, they were just a group of tenants who rented the land, they only cared about the harvest in the field, no matter how many tenants died people.

Not to mention the imperial court, Yujia Village, a small village of more than 100 people, the death of a few people is just a trivial matter in the eyes of the government, and they don't even bother to look at it.

It's hard to tell Guanshi Tian, ​​his sons and daughters don't care about any taboos, so they told Hua Yu in a hurry, and the facts are exactly as Yingchu thought, no one cares.

Hua Yu clenched his fists angrily, he wanted to deny that this was not the case, but considering how his father and grandmother were, it was not surprising that they would do this.

He glanced at the children who were stumbling and pushing the plow, his chest rose and fell sharply: "No, we can't just watch like this!" He turned to look at Yingchu, "Sister, they are so pitiful, we have to help them! "

"How do you want to help?" Yingchu asked calmly.

"I," Hua Yu said, "I don't know either. At least I have to help them till the land well, and the sick people at home must be healed, and I will give them some money and food!"

Yingchu said: "The things you said are all easy to handle. What about next year? Do you have to help them cultivate the land again? If someone is sick, you have to give them treatment? If they have no food or money, do they have to pay? Then if there are other tenants There is a disaster in the family, and you still want to help? In this way, can the Hua family support so many people?"

Hua Yu was dumbfounded, "But, you can't just watch like this!"

Yingchu glanced at the nervous Steward Tian, ​​and said, "Tian Steward, the grain production of these tens of acres of land is really as low as the book? I'll give you one last chance to tell the truth!"

Steward Tian broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, saying: "Second miss, forgive me! Little one, the little one did conceal the production, but the people in Yujia Village are sick and hungry, and they can't live without food. Ah! If you are a little bold, you will make a good idea and give all the hidden food to Yujia Village!"

Yingchu looked at him coldly.

Steward Tian hurriedly begged Hua Yu: "Master, I swear that I have not lied, and I have not given a grain of food, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die! I beg the elder master to show mercy for these poor children. Forgive everyone!"

"Sister, anyway, our family doesn't lack that little food, let's forget it." Hua Yu said softly.

Hearing what he said, Guanshi Tian's family begged him harder.

But Yingchu sneered, and said: "Since Guanshi Tian is so kind-hearted, I will not pursue the people in Yujia Village, but the food that has been concealed will be made up by Tian Guanshi himself, and nothing will be missing! Otherwise, I will send you Send it to prison!"

Steward Tian was dumbfounded immediately, and knelt down with a plop: "Second Miss, forgive me! Second Miss, please forgive me! I really can't afford that much food!"

Hua Yu was also a little surprised by Yingchu's decision: "Sister..."

He just opened his mouth, but was pulled back by Qinghe: "Don't talk, sister has her own opinion."

Hua Yu kept silent, but frowned, her eyes full of disapproval.

Tian Guanshi's family all knelt down to intercede, and the two children even cried.

"One more word, and the food will be doubled!" Yingchu said coldly.

Tian Guanshi didn't dare to say any more, but his face was full of sadness, as if the sky had fallen.

Although the children in the fields were working, they all listened to the movement with their ears upright.At this moment, all of them ran over and knelt down: "Miss, young master, please don't blame Guanshi Tian! He is a good man and he is here to save the people in our village. Please don't blame Guanshi Tian! Kowtow to you, please!"

Yingchu looked at the group of skinny children, some of them knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Take back these dozens of acres of land," Yingchu said, "How can a group of children grow so much land?"

A group of children stared wide-eyed, some were terrified, some looked at her ignorantly.

The woman in charge of the field cried and begged: "Second Miss, without these fields, they will starve to death! Please do me a favor, don't do such a terrible thing!"

The children also burst into tears: "Don't! Don't take our fields! Huh..."

"You scoundrel! Big villain!" A black and thin child ran towards Yingchu angrily, "I'll kill you!"

Qing He reached out to stop him, and pushed him to the ground.

"Black egg!" the children yelled, staring angrily at Yingchu and the others, two of them rushed forward while cursing.

Qinghe kicked them down one by one.

In this way, it was more like stabbing a hornet's nest. A group of children rushed over screaming angrily as if they wanted to eat them.

These refugee-like children have been exhausted for a long time. Where is Qinghe's opponent, they are easily knocked down.

Yingchu intends to let these children suffer a little bit, to sharpen their tempers, otherwise if they bump into a bad-tempered nobleman in the future, they might lose their lives.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and a group of people rode towards this side, and someone shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing?"
