Apocalypse protection little sister-in-law

Chapter 251 Hiring
Seeing that the villagers were all silent, the refugees also understood why.They can't blame the villagers for their lack of compassion, but when life is really hopeless, they will inevitably cry in despair for a while.

The village chief asked his two sons to bring a pot of hot water and pour them each a bowl.

"It's not easy for you, nor is it easy for us. No one can complain, it's all forced by God. But as long as there is a way, people will still live." After they drank the hot water, the whole complexion improved a little, The village head spoke slowly. "How were those people hired before you?"

Hearing the words of the village chief, a ray of hope lit up in the eyes of these people.Immediately replied: "One day's work, two meals, and three catties of rice."

"What? Three catties of rice is not enough and you have to pack two meals?" Someone among the villagers yelled strangely.

This condition was really cheap in the past, but is it in the past now?Rice is so precious now that their own family can't bear to eat three catties of rice a day.Besides, just looking at the appearance of these people, you know that you can't do much. This rice is almost like giving away for nothing.Nobody, no matter how generous, would do such a thing.

Originally, after hearing what the village chief said, they still had a little compassion and wanted to help them, but after hearing everything about it, almost everyone gave up the idea.If there is such a job outside, they still want to do it.

Seeing the face of the villagers change, Qi Qi became silent, and the people in the town became anxious.A woman who looked about five or sixty years old said: "I... I know, we are not capable enough, how about a meal, a catty of rice, can we do it? No matter what kind of work, we will do it, as long as we can pay for it Food. Please show kindness and give us a way to survive! If we were not forced to do nothing, we would not have traveled such a long distance, so we have the cheek to beg you to do the work."

As she spoke, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the villagers while crying.As soon as she took the lead, the others also knelt down one after another, pleading continuously.

The villagers looked at each other, but still hesitated to speak.

"If you're like this, we'll be poor for just one meal. If I hire you, why don't I starve myself?" Duran squeezed into the crowd, his shrill voice becoming more and more mean.

She is the least willing to go to the fields. She would be happy if she could hire someone to do things for her, but she thinks that they ask for too much.So she had to minimize the prices of these people before someone nodded.

"Living two catties of sweet potatoes a day, no more." Dulan quickly quoted a price, with a glimmer of joy in his eyes.

Now it was the town's turn to be silent.

Their physical strength is not as good as those who were selected before, and they should be paid less for the same day's work.Even if someone hires them, they will definitely try their best to do a good job and not let the employer suffer.

But not to mention saving two meals, there is no rice, only two catties of sweet potatoes, the gap is too big.

If it is rice, eat sparingly, a catty of rice is enough for a family of three for a day.But sweet potatoes are too watery, so they are not as full as rice, and two catties of sweet potatoes are not as full as one catty of rice.Besides, if you have to work, you can't do it on an empty stomach.If you don't have the strength to do it well, wouldn't it make people think that you are stealing and playing tricks?Will anyone be willing to hire them to work in the future?

But if they disagree, given their current situation, they might not even be able to return to the town alive.Is this really the only way they can accept it?

For a moment, the eyes of the people in the town were filled with infinite confusion and grief.

"What's the standard for a meal?"

A clear and lively voice sounded from behind the crowd.People moved away one after another, only to find a young girl in a pink and white long tunic down jacket standing there tenderly, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, tender and fresh, with beautiful colors.

She wore a big fluffy hat on her head, and was covered by the hat, revealing only a small face the size of a palm. On her white skin like jade, there was a pair of crystal-clear and moist eyes embedded in her eyes. Clean and innocent, not at all like someone who has experienced a natural disaster, obviously protected by the family very well.

A group of people from the town were stunned.How long has it been since I saw such a clean and spiritual person?
They couldn't help being a little dazed, as if they had returned to before the disaster.At that time, the little girls in the town discussed how to dress up all day long. They laughed openly and happily, walking on the road like a moving scenery.

However, since the first snow fell, life in the town has been in chaos.Waiting for the second snow, it is not wrong to say that it is a hell on earth.

Dongping Town belongs to the southern region, so it can't be too cold in winter.Therefore, the cotton clothes worn in winter are not as thick as those in the north.However, this winter was unexpectedly cold.Without enough food, the body cannot generate enough heat. Even if all the clothes at home that can keep out the cold are taken out and worn on the body, there is no electricity or a stove. After a large number of people fall asleep, they never wake up again.

That's all there is to it, the thing that makes them gnash their teeth the most is the gang of bullies in the town.

Yes, the group of people who used to run rampant in the town have lost the restraint of the government and are becoming more and more lawless.They robbed a hotel in the town as their base camp, and sent people out every day to search for supplies.Whatever they see, regardless of whether there is a master or not, they will forcibly snatch it away.

It's just that they not only rob things, they also rob people.Almost all women who are attractive enough to catch their eyes are ruined by them.And men, either bow their heads and succumb to their lustful power, be treated as thugs by them, or refuse to be tortured to death by them.

So they didn't dare to stay in the town any longer, and either died of starvation, freezing to death, or being beaten to death.

They came out this trip not only to earn a ration, but also to find out a way out.If the whole family can move to a nearby village, even if they are a little bit tired and hungry, at least they don't have to worry about it, and at least they can survive.

But they didn't expect that the countryside is not easy now.Last year's harvest was greatly reduced, and they themselves had to live frugally, so no one was willing to pay for food and hire people.That is to say, those who have a small family and have a little surplus of food, for their poor sake, are willing to pay some rice to hire them to work.

But that is also to pick people.Only those who are strong and able to work are needed, and those who are left can't do much work at first sight, and naturally they don't want to give food for nothing to do good deeds.

Just when they were about to despair, that voice was like a ray of hope, rekindling the dying fire in their eyes.

"As long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter what it is." The woman who knelt down and kowtowed first answered first.

"Full? To put it bluntly. See how long you have been hungry, and your stomach is like a bottomless pit. How much food is needed to fill your stomach." Duran's sharp voice sounded again.

Seeing that what she thought was about to succeed, she was interrupted by someone, and it happened to be from the compound, which made her hate Wu Qingfeng even more.

"No, no, as long as, as long as you don't feel hungry, rice, steamed buns, and sweet potatoes are all fine. I won't eat too much."
