Apocalypse protection little sister-in-law

Chapter 252
Seeing that Lian Yao was about to nod his head, Du Lan jumped out anxiously and shouted: "One meal can at most be two taels of rice or half a catty of sweet potatoes, nothing more. You can only get a catty of rice if you cook it for a full day. If it is less than a full day, There is only one meal without rice. If it is not full for half a day, there is nothing."

The harsh conditions made the faces of the people in the town very ugly.But they had no choice.

In order to avoid people, they took their belongings and set off early in the morning before dawn. After walking for a long time, the village head kindly gave a bowl of hot water just now, and now they are sleepy and tired.None of them could go back without food in their stomachs.

The other villagers had no objection to Duran's proposal.Although it is indeed harsh, but after all, if they can give them a way to survive, they will also benefit from it.Good thing!
Lian Yao frowned, and opened her mouth to refute, but Wu Qingfeng reached out and patted her shoulder lightly, shaking her head invisibly when she looked over.Although Lian Yao didn't understand what it meant, she obediently kept silent.

When she looked back at the people present, she saw that they all seemed to agree with her. After thinking about it, she seemed to understand what the senior brother meant.

The townspeople had no choice but to bow their heads and accept such conditions.After the two parties reached an agreement, the woman who stood up to speak several times said again: "We still have half a day to work for you today. Can you let us eat first? Only when we have strength can we do a good job, right?"

Dulan frowned first, and then let go: "It's only half a day now, so we can just have a meal for you, there is no rice."

The people in the town reluctantly nodded: "Yes, I know."

Seeing people who used to live in the town who were superior to him, now could only bend down in front of him, Dulan's mood that had been gloomy for a long time finally felt elated.

"Just you, you come with me."

Before anyone else, Duran pointedly picked out the strongest-looking one in the group.Although he is a bit old, he is tall and powerful, and he should have a good foundation.Anyway, it's only two or two meters, so I can save myself a lot of energy.

The person who was picked stood up silently, turned around but helped a thin woman to follow behind Duran.

When Dulan turned around and saw this scene, he quickly stopped, pointed at the thin woman and screamed, "Hey, I only need one. This woman can't do things when she sees it. I won't waste money."

The man's face was ugly, but he insisted on not letting go: "This is my wife. She is sick, and I can't let her go. It's me who does the work. You only need to pay my share, and we both share a share. "

Although this is true, but who is Duran, he can still disturb three points if he doesn't care!
"To make you full, you have to work for me. You gave her all the food, so how can you get the strength to work? No, I spent a lot of rice to feed two people, but you only put in half the effort. How can there be such a good thing in the matter?"

What he said made the couple turn pale at the same time.The man was trembling with anger, and he squeezed the corners of his mouth tightly and held on to his wife's hand tightly.The wife coughed fiercely with her hunched and emaciated body, and then shook her husband's hand with all her strength: "You...you go, don't...don't...I..."

But no matter how hard the wife breaks it off, it is obvious that the husband is just like what he said, and he will never leave his sick wife alone.

Dulan saw the scene, and immediately waved his hand: "Okay, since this is the case, you go and take care of your wife, I can't afford you, a great god here. Can't I find another one?"

As he spoke, he passed the couple and looked into the crowd again.His eyes circled around these people, and the naked eyes made people uncomfortable.This uncomfortable person is not only a person from the town, but also a person from Chitose Village.

Although they agree with Dulan's behavior of lowering prices, they do not agree with all of Duran's behaviors.What she said before was too hurtful and too much.This is not the slave market in ancient times, how can people be treated like livestock?No matter how hard life is, it is impossible to be without a little humanity.That man took care of his wife wholeheartedly in such a difficult situation, and his rare affection alone was admirable.

Therefore, when Dulan went to pick someone again, the people in the town avoided her eyes one by one, and didn't want to be picked by her at all.

The village chief shook his head, stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder: "Come with me!"

As soon as he turned around, he saw Lian Yao standing in front of him with a smile: "Uncle Village Chief, I think he should be quite capable, why don't you give it to me."

As he spoke, he glanced at the wife.

The village chief was stunned for a while, followed her gaze, and then suddenly realized, nodded again and again: "Okay, you can take it."

The couple was confused, but seeing Lian Yao smiling kindly at them, they didn't refuse.

The other villagers picked their own people and left, and there were about a dozen left.Dulan picked for a long time but was not satisfied with anyone, and was about to order one at random, when Lian Yao walked up to those people and waved his hand: "All of you come with me."

Looking at the last two people in front of them, the townspeople followed Lian Yao without thinking.Although they didn't understand why she wanted so many people, none of them wanted to work at that tricky woman's house.

"You, you..."

Seeing the backs of everyone leaving, Duran was a little confused for a moment.She hasn't picked yet, why did they all run away?

She trotted two steps to La Lianyao, wanting to reason with her, but Wu Qingfeng turned his head and gave her a gloomy look. For some reason, she felt cold all over.The outstretched hand froze in the air, but he didn't dare to pull Lianyao again.After everyone had left, she cursed in a low voice and went home with a resentful expression.

No one was hired, so she still had to do the work in the field.Now that her father-in-law is lying in bed, the burden on her is even heavier.

Lian Yao brought a group of people back to the compound, asked them to sit in the main room, and then went into the kitchen to find Aunt Fat.

Seeing such a spacious yard, and a clean and warm house, a group of people twisted their dirty and torn clothes, their dirty feet shrank back unconsciously, and stood stiffly. door, dare not go in.

After a while, Lianyao and Fat Aunt came over with a large bowl of hot noodles, followed by Mother Qi with a dozen empty bowls.

The noodles were placed on the dining table, Lian Yao and Fat Aunt took the empty bowls and filled them up one by one, Mother Qi greeted them with a moved face: "Everyone, come and eat some noodles to fill your stomach first."

Seeing the delicious noodles on the table, and the delicious aroma of food permeating the room, the sound of swallowing and borborygmus sounded one after another.

Lian Yao divided the noodles and waved to them with a smile: "You have been hungry for a long time, your stomach is weak, and the noodles are easy to digest. Eat some to warm your stomach first."

Seeing such a beautiful little girl talking to me with a smile, her clear eyes were clean and warm, without any disgust, everyone blurred their eyes.My heart, which has been frozen for a winter, finally feels the warmth.

They moved around the table.

Just when Lian Yao thought they would sit down and eat noodles, they all took out their bowls and chopsticks and poured the noodles into the bowls they brought.Even children sensibly do the same thing as adults.

Seeing them like this, Lian Yao was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at them very puzzled.

But I saw that they did not sit down on the chairs after pouring the noodles, but instead found an empty corner not far from the door, squatted on the ground together and ate big mouthfuls.
