Nongmen Medical Fragrance: Fortune is very sweet

Chapter 217

Because they will live in the village in the future, it is impossible for Xia Dong and the others to hide it from the villagers. They must give a reason.

"We didn't become deserters." Xia Dong replied.

The village chief and the others looked at Xia Dong's family in bewilderment.

Didn't become a deserter?

How is it possible, unless they...

Suddenly, everyone stared at the Xia family with wide eyes.

"You...you can cancel the quota?!" The village chief said in disbelief.

Didn't it mean that this time it was mandatory conscription, only one male could be left in the family, and everyone else had to join the army?

"What's going on here?" Everyone asked anxiously, apparently also wanting to cancel the quota of their own men.

Xia Dong had already thought up his excuses, and said in a low voice, "We spent a lot of money."

"Didn't it mean that no matter how much money you spend, it's useless?" The village chief was a little puzzled.

They also wanted to spend several times the money to buy quotas before, but the officers and soldiers did not accept it at all.

"Because there are not enough flowers." Xia Dong could only continue to answer.

"Then...how much will it cost?" The village chief's voice trembled, and he probably guessed how much.

"We borrowed a lot of money from the bank." Xia Dong didn't say it clearly, but gritted his teeth and replied.

Everyone took a breath.

They knew that Xia Dong and his shop made a lot of money, but during this period of time, the shop did not make enough money for them to buy quotas, and they needed to borrow so much money from the bank. One can imagine how much money they spent.

There are hundreds if not thousands!
This is a number they can't even imagine!

Is it really worth it to owe so much money to buy a few places?
For people who can't earn so much money in their lifetime, it is completely worthless, after all, their family still has to live.

Xia Dong's face was exhausted, obviously he was also out of breath due to the huge debt, "We are going to the county seat, so let's not talk for now."

This sentence gives people the feeling that they must go to the county town to make money desperately, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

Seeing the backs of Xia's family leaving, the villagers felt mixed feelings.

With so much money, maybe the Xia family can bear it, but they can't bear it at all, so they can only push their son and husband out, which is really helpless.

All of them went back dejectedly. They had to think about what to do in the field next spring.

Without so many men, they might not be able to stand up.

Originally, I thought that the land could be used to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs. This kind of work would be much easier than growing food. However, looking at the Xia family's state, it was obvious that they couldn't stand it anymore, and they would definitely not harvest it at that time.

Thinking of the hardships ahead, the villagers all looked sad, more uncomfortable than sending the men away.

Because the people who left only left with nostalgia, but those who stayed behind were even more difficult, because they still had to find a way to survive.

Xia Qingge naturally knew what the villagers thought, and she couldn't really care about the life and death of the villagers, so she asked Xia Dong to pass on the word to the villagers that the vegetables they planted would still be harvested, because they still wanted to make money.

As for where the money came from, since they have borrowed everything, they don't mind borrowing more, or they still have the land deed to sell.

After hearing the news, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and they all looked at Xia Dong gratefully.

This is their savior!

Maybe they can survive too...
