Chapter 277 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (27)

Xu Yin went home and brought a bag of rice and three bags of sweet potatoes.

“Last time, the county magistrate took away the drawings of the waterwheel, and later rewarded me with a few ingots of silver. I’ll just keep the money and help everyone get through the difficulties first.”

 She explained a few words to Chen Mancang and Shi Feng.

They both sighed with emotion: "Brother Hero, you are so kind."

 In these famine years, who among the ordinary people is willing to share the rewards given by the county magistrate with others? Not to mention the food that can save lives.

 “As long as you are not a truly evil person, please show mercy to others! Life in this world is not easy.”

 Hearing what Xu Yin said, Shi Feng felt complicated.

 He almost went astray in the first place, but Xu Yingxiong kicked him to wake him up.

His parents were also rescued by Xu Yingxiong.

 For his family, Xu Yingxiong is their reborn parent.

“Hero brother.” He looked at Xu Yin seriously and said, “No matter what you need me to do from now on, all you need is one word!”

"Okay! If I need your help, I will definitely ask."

 Fifty catties of rice and two hundred catties of sweet potatoes have bought over a hundred hearts and minds. Is this a good deal?

Xu Yin never thought that just a barely full meal of porridge with roasted sweet potatoes, plus a bowl of soup for each person to prevent wind and cold, would make so many people wholeheartedly express their willingness to follow her and do things for her.

Although this was not her original intention, she was happy to see the result. At least the disharmony between the two groups of people affected by the disaster was resolved.

Xu Yin asked the six young men to divide the victims into six teams, and each of them was responsible for one team.

"You have to build your house as soon as possible. It's going to get cold soon, and there's no guarantee of when it will rain. So sleeping in the open is not an option. You can slowly open up the wasteland, but if that doesn't work, you can farm the land for me. I'll pay you when the time comes." Wages, I don’t need wages but food.”

Once they hear this, how can they refuse to agree?

“Boss, whatever you say is whatever you say! We listen to you!”

Xu Yin twitched her lips: "I told you not to call me boss, I'm not as old as you."

“We recognize you as the boss, not because of your age.”

 Xu Yin: “…”

I thought to myself, if I change into women's clothes one day, I'll see if you guys are still willing to call me that.

 The bricks baked in the back mountains can be used to build a row of two or three large houses.

Xu Yin thought that it would rain and cool down that day, so she quickly consulted with Chen Mancang and Shi Feng.

“Brother Hero, what do you mean, build a big house first for those people to stay?”

"Yes! What do you think? The speed of kiln burning is still too slow. It may take next year to build a brick house for each household. Let's get over the difficulty now. Anyway, the house will be useful after they move out. This big room can be used as a granary.”

 Chen Mancang and Shi Feng have no objection.

It was an unexpected joy for them to make green bricks and tiles with their own hands. If they could build one room, they could build countless rooms. They would be able to live in them sooner or later, so there was no need to rush for this moment.

So, Xu Yin asked Shi Feng to go to the disaster victims to pick up some strong laborers, and help build the brick houses together, so that they could be built as soon as possible.

The victims who followed Shi Feng to help were stunned.

 “Brick, brick house?”

 “A place for us to live?”

"Really?"

"False!" Shi Feng said with an angry look on his face, "Brother Heroes are kind-hearted. We are worried that it will rain to cool down, so I will let you live temporarily. When the rain passes and the weather clears, quickly build your own house and move out. We still have Other uses!”

  “Oh!”     That's it.

That’s not a big deal!

They will not even have the chance to touch bricks or tiles in their entire lives.

It would be satisfying if I could build a big house with these bricks and tiles myself, and then move in there, even if it was just to hide from the rain for a day or two!

 Everyone is very enthusiastic and works very efficiently.

Xu Yin was worried that they would sweat while working and catch cold from the cold wind after work, so she would boil a pot of soup to prevent colds every day.



She took out a piece of silver in front of Erlang, made an account, and said to Erlang:

“My sister-in-law borrowed this silver from her father-in-law. I will pay it back when they make money by helping her open land to grow herbs.”

Erlang muttered: "Sister-in-law, you earned this money, you don't have to do this."

"It's necessary. Sister-in-law, this is considered an investment. In any business, it doesn't matter if you lose money on the initial investment, but if you keep losing money in the long run, there is no need to do it. So sister-in-law writes this account to see what will happen in a few years. Lose or gain.”

 Erlang listened but did not understand everything.

But when it comes to Xu Yin going out to buy rice, flour, oil and salt to help the victims tide over the difficult period, she no longer holds her chest in pain and jumps in opposition as before.

Xu Yin feels that men should not be too stingy. Although she herself is opposed to the Virgin Mary's unbridled kindness to others, she still has to help when she has the ability.

No, she spent money to hire the victims to build houses and open up wasteland, so that they could have food to eat and a house to live in. The victims had hope in life, looked forward to their days, and got along well with everyone.

Not to mention that things like sneaking around don't happen anymore. On the contrary, strong men will still enthusiastically carry firewood and water for those households with insufficient strength; women who work quickly will also help out with whatever they can. thing.

 You help me and I help you, and the two groups of victims merge into one harmonious family.

 The first brick house was built successfully in the eyes of everyone’s expectations!

 Following this came the first rain after autumn.

From the drizzle to the moderate rain, the victims huddled in brick and tile houses felt happy and moved.

 Happily I came here to open up wasteland instead of going to the mountains.

I heard that the victims of land reclamation in the mountains had no time to build houses. When it rained, they had to look for caves. If they couldn't find a cave, they would find a big tree and pull out a few palm leaves to carry them.

 I was moved by Xu Yin.

“I will never forget the kindness of our heroic brothers to our family forever!”

“When I have my own house, I will build an immortal tablet for my benefactor and pray for his happiness and longevity every day.”

 “I will build it too!”

 “I will build it too!”

Everyone has this idea. They might as well not wait until the rain stops to build their own houses. Instead, they huddle in the big tile-roofed house, cut wood and set up memorial tablets.

After hearing this, Xu Yin pinched her forehead speechlessly: "Tell them not to do this!"

“Everyone has good intentions. I hope you live a long life and have both happiness and longevity!” Shi Feng thought it was appropriate, and even he himself was thinking about it.

Xu Yin’s face was expressionless: “Go and tell them that if anyone carves my immortal tablet again, I will not hire him to do work in the future!”

　　　…”

so serious?

Shi Feng hurried home, secretly hid the half-engraved longevity tablet under the bedside quilt, and then went to the big tiled house to tell those people.

 Everyone was puzzled after hearing this: "My benefactor doesn't like the longevity tablet? What do you like?"

"Just do the work assigned to you by your benefactor!" Shi Feng looked annoyed.

 Ask him how he knows!
