In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

"Old Li family, no matter who you ask to judge, it was you, the Li family, who took the initiative to sell the land to our He family. It was you who brought the land deed to the He family and asked the village head to go to the county government to transfer the land to the He family. This is written in black and white, and you can still deny it and confuse right and wrong? Our He family is really wronged!"

"Another point, my Qiudi is still young, and the He family hasn't arranged a marriage for her yet, and you are talking nonsense here and throwing dirty water on her. I will not bother with you because I think you were kicked out by your brother from your mother's family, and you can't stand the blow and are in a bad mood and want to find a place to vent. Otherwise, we will meet at the county government office!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Li rolled on the ground.

"He Meng, you are a bully. You rely on your son's position as a teacher to bully the people and oppress your neighbors! He Meng, if our Li family cannot survive, we will die in front of your house, become a ghost day and night, and haunt your He family for the rest of your lives, so that you will never have peace!"

Li is shameless and has no skin left. He just throws a tantrum and acts like a spoiled brat.

Old Mrs. He really has no way to deal with this kind of scoundrel.

She had no choice but to look at the village head and the elders again.

"Village head, clan elders, please help the He family make the decision on this matter."

"This……"

The village head and several elders looked at each other, and no one expressed their opinion.

He Qiudi knew what was going on.

When the Li family sold their land to the He family and prepared to leave Shiliu Village, the Li family regretted it once when they saw that the old well in Shiliu Village began to produce water again.

I want the He family to add more money.

At that time, everyone in the village helped the He family.

The situation now is similar to that time.

Only the He family made a lot of money by making soap, and everyone's attitude became ambiguous.

He Qiudi understood that the head of the village and the elders wanted to test the bottom line of the He family through the affairs of the Li family.

The He family is now a popular family in the eyes of the people in Shiliu Village.

Everyone wants to use the Li family's farce to test whether they can gain an advantage over the He family, so as to make it easier for them to treat the He family in the future.

It seems that the village head and the elders are silent.

Aunt He Tao said, "Your family has made a lot of money recently. What's wrong with returning the land to them? They are going to have trouble making a living."

Old Mrs. He looked over.

"I see that everyone in your family can have enough food to eat, so why don't you give your food to help those in other villages who are in need of food and clothing?"

He Tao retracted her neck in embarrassment.

"My family just needs to have enough to eat. Not only can your family have enough to eat, but you can also eat meat every meal. What's wrong with helping your fellow villagers? In this troubled time, the people of Pomegranate Village can only work together if we work together as one, and can overcome difficulties together in this stormy time."

He Qiudi: ...

Because Lizhou was a large state of exile.

There were frequent wars.

There is a large population flow.

The villagers of Shiliu Village have many surnames living together.

They are not from the same ethnic group.

Apart from being from the same village, there is no other connection between us.

In ancient times, clan concepts were strong.

In Shiliu Village, the only family members who can be considered as one of the He family are Mr. He’s cousin and his family.

They really have nothing in common with the Li family.

Mr. He knocked on his pipe, took another deep puff, and then said, "The corn that the adults gave me during the He family banquet is almost ripe. I think the yield will be much higher than that of wheat and millet. When the autumn harvest comes, I will give everyone a batch of seeds and tell everyone how to grow corn."

"As for the Li family's land, it was sold to the He family in black and white. It's not that they didn't sell it to other families in the village, but everyone offered a maximum of ten taels. Our He family was willing to offer twelve taels. Only then did we buy it from the Li family. The He family took good care of that piece of land and planted crops. Now it's time for the autumn harvest. No matter what, the He family will not return the land to the Li family. There is no such reason in the world."

"How about this, after the autumn harvest is over, the He family will give the Li family five dan of grain as a gift based on helping fellow villagers in need. The Li family has three sons. If they start to open up wasteland from now on, they will definitely be able to grow their own grain next year. In addition, they can go to the city to work and earn money to buy food during the autumn harvest season, so they won't starve to death this winter. Village head, elders, do you think this is okay?"

Five loads of grain.

Although at the current price, it is only worth one and a half taels of silver.

But it’s good that the He family is willing to pay.

Old Mrs. Li refused.

"My twenty mu of land is worth at least thirty taels now. You cheated us out of twelve taels of silver, and now you are only willing to give us five loads of grain. You are trying to send away beggars. You have to give us another eighteen taels, otherwise, we will see you in court!"

They sold their land and went to live with her brothers from her mother's family.

result.

They misjudged the situation in Lizhou.

Although it is still dry, there has been a drizzle, and the Pomegranate Village in particular is not short of water at all.

I thought the Western Rong people would definitely start a war after the autumn harvest.

But they had been in Lizhou for so long that they had found out a lot of news. The Crown Prince had already sent a general to garrison the city. Not only had he increased the number of troops, he was also said to have collected 400,000 taels of silver to purchase food to resist the drought in Yongning Prefecture this year and to provide disaster relief.

The several counties under Lizhou have made preparations for disaster prevention and war.

Not to mention that the Western Rong people did not dare to invade, even the bandits in Lizhou had been almost wiped out.

The bandits lingering in Phoenix Mountain near Shiliu Village and several other hills farther away had already been wiped out.

The Li family members then realized that they had made a wrong judgment and that they did not need to flee from the famine at all.

A while ago, they met fellow villagers from Shiliu Village in Lizhou. They learned about the situation of Shiliu Village and the He family from them. They immediately packed up their things and returned to Shiliu Village.

Life in the city is really hard.

Because of the drought, many disaster victims went to the city to make a living.

There are few workstations and many workers. The sons of the Li family often have trouble finding work and their wages are low.

But there are more than a dozen people in their family, and everything from food, clothing, and daily necessities costs money. The property that the Li family has saved over the years and the money from selling the land are about to be spent.

In addition, the government issued an order that people from Yongning Prefecture were not allowed to flee the famine and would not be issued travel permits. If they did not want to become refugees, they had no choice but to return.

Of course, Old Lady Li would not say that after her brothers from her natal family took ten taels of silver from her, they saw that she was hoarding the money tightly and could not get any benefit from her, so they drove their whole family out.

They were left on the streets and had to find work for themselves.

Accommodation costs money, food costs even more, and even firewood costs money.

The Li family couldn't stand life in the city and had to return to the village.

Shiliu Village has He Huaizhang and the He family. As long as nothing happens to the He family, the Li family will be able to survive the hard days in Shiliu Village.

"Let the government meet with us."

Seeing that Old Mrs. He and Old Mr. He were too embarrassed to do so, Jin Cuihua came out to take the damage herself.

"You took the land deed to the He family on your own initiative. Who forced you? No matter whether you complained to the county government or anywhere else, you ignored it. The He family was willing to compensate you with five loads of grain, but it was out of pity for you because you were driven back. At the beginning, you thought that there would be a drought and that life in Pomegranate Village could not endure, so you fled to Lizhou!"
