The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

It's not abnormal. It turns out that it was caused by the words of the villagers.

It feels great to receive compliments!

After knowing the reason, Wang Chengzi dared to eat the buns with big mouthfuls.

Old Wang even thoughtfully handed Wang Chengzi a bowl of soy milk.

He said to Mrs. Wang earnestly and proudly:

"Look, why is Chengzi so competitive?

It's just that we follow our roots. Our Wang family's roots are good."

Old Mrs. Wang was in a good mood and didn't want to spoil Old Wang's mood.

He nodded and said "hmm", indicating that Old Wang was right.

With the approval of Old Lady Wang, Old Wang spoke even more excitedly.

He looked so excited and proud.

After Wang Chengzi finished his breakfast, he saw that it was almost time.

So he went to the yamen and continued to handle official business.

As for household matters, they were left to Old Lady Wang and the others to take care of.

As soon as Wang Chengzi sat down at the yamen, a yamen runner came over and whispered:

“Sir, Chairman Li is inviting you to a banquet today.

Don’t forget the time.”

Wang Chengzi really forgot that he came here because he was only busy with his family yesterday.

I was so excited that I forgot about this matter.

In fact, a few days ago, countless visiting cards flew onto Wang Chengzi's desk like snowflakes.

Those people even thought of all kinds of excuses, including birthdays, baby's full moon, and flower-viewing banquets.

However, Wang Chengzi turned them all down, leaving only Li Zhiqiang's Xianjiu Club.

Originally, this was going to be rejected, but the county magistrate reminded Wang Chengzi that Li Zhiqiang was the president of the Wudu Chamber of Commerce.

He also controlled most of the restaurants, teahouses, brothels, gambling houses and tea houses in Wudu.

Even Wudu’s food reserves were controlled by Li Zhiqiang at a rate of 50%.

The Chamber of Commerce even lists many of Wudu’s industries.

It is suggested that Wang Chengzi, who has just arrived, should make good friends with Li Zhiqiang.

Anyway, it’s best not to make enemies.

After hearing what the county magistrate said, Wang Chengzi pondered for a moment.

I feel that I should have a proper meeting with the president.

Let’s see what he wants to do this time.

So he nodded, indicating to the bailiff that he understood.

Then he got on the carriage and went to the fairy wine party specially arranged by Li Zhiqiang.

As soon as Wang Chengzi left, Old Lady Wang and the others started to get busy.

Old Lady Wang and Zhang Xing'er went to the pawnshop to see if there were any suitable servants so that they could buy a few.

On the one hand, Wang Chengzi was at least a county magistrate and had no servants in his house.

It's also a joke.

And now there is such a big yard to clean up. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the three of them to clean up such a big yard.

Old Mrs. Wang initially planned to buy two servants and three maids.

Zhang Xing'er is now the wife of the county magistrate, and she can't do everything herself.

At least there should be two maids serving her.

In addition, Xiaomi also needs a little maid to play with her.

Wang Chengzi also needs someone to run errands on weekdays.

After deciding how many people were needed, Old Lady Wang took Zhang Xing'er straight to the dental clinic.

Before leaving, he asked Old Wang to go out and buy some rapeseed and chicken and duck seedlings.

Ask if there are any fish fry and buy some, as Old Mrs. Wang has a pond at home.

It would be a shame not to raise some fish.

When it grows up, you can use it to make fish soup and fried fish cubes.

Xiaomi likes the fish she cooks the most.

Old Mrs. Wang asked Xiaomi to wait at home, thinking that going to the dental clinic would be too difficult for a child of only a few years old.

It was a little too scary, although Grandma Wang knew that Xiaomi was different from other children.

But I still don't want Xiaomi to see such a huge class gap.

A group of people stood aside like animals, waiting to be picked by others.

No self-respect at all.

But I was worried about Xiaomi staying at home alone.

After thinking for a while, I decided to take Xiaomi with me.

But I still reminded him again and again.

You can’t leave the sight of adults, you have to tell them when you are scared, and you have to tell grandma when you are tired.

After Xiaomi made all the promises, Old Lady Wang took the two of them to the street.

The three of them walked towards the dental clinic while strolling.

By the time they reached the street where the dental clinic was located, Xiaomi had already eaten his fill from all the food he had eaten along the way.

He touched his bloated belly and was led by Old Lady Wang into the dental clinic.

While walking, I looked around and saw new things around me.

But soon, Xiaomi couldn't laugh anymore.

As we got closer to the prostitution business, many people selling their bodies appeared on the roadside.

Some of them are still okay, they just stick a piece of straw on their heads.

Kneeling on the ground with head down, with a sign on the chest

"Sell yourself to hide your father, half an ounce of silver."

Others were children who were being held by their parents, and they looked skinny.

They are even more terrifying than the ones that Daya and the others met when Xiaomi was just born.

There wasn't an ounce of flesh on her body, not even the baby fat that's typical of a child's face.

His cheeks were terribly thin.

Some children were still crying, begging their fathers:

"Dad, please don't sell me out.

I'll be obedient and work harder in the future.

I could eat less.

It’s okay if I don’t eat it. I can go out and dig wild vegetables every day.

Please, please don't sell me out."

Seeing that the man didn't say anything, she hugged the man's legs and continued crying.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and fell heavily on her clothes and the ground.

“Dad, I beg you, Mom is not in good health.

If I don't help with the work, Mom will be exhausted to death.

I will definitely earn money to buy you some wine in the future so that you can go to the card room to gamble every day.

Please, don't sell me out."

But the tearful cries did not arouse any fatherly love in the man.

Instead, he kicked the girl impatiently, cursing at her.

"You little money-loser, how much work can you do?

Be quiet and follow me.

It's just to repay Laozi for raising me over the years."

The thin girl was kicked to the ground by the man because she had no flesh on her body to begin with.

The girl felt a sharp pain in her bones, and her sallow face was completely bloodless.

He lay on the ground and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

After a long while, he slowly got up from the ground.

He huddled down on the ground, shivering.

Then the suppressed crying sound slowly came out.

But before the little girl could cry a few times, someone pinched her chin.

Look closely at the girl's face.

I found that although the girl was thin, she had a good foundation.

He nodded with satisfaction and asked the girl's father.

"This little girl is okay, how to sell her?"

The man saw that the person questioning him was dressed very luxuriously.

She wore several gold bracelets on her hands and a gold ring on each finger.

After taking a greedy look, the man said to the visitor flatteringly:

“Madam has a really good eye, my girl takes after her mother.

Even though you can't see it now, it looks like a little chick.

But it will definitely look good when it grows up.

If my family wasn’t poor, I really wouldn’t be willing to sell it.

How about this, you just give me ten taels of silver."
