A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous
Chapter 131 Disagreement
This question really stumped Wen Meijiu. She couldn't say that this was how it was recorded in history. Even if she said so, no one would believe her.
Seeing that Wen Meijiu couldn't come up with a decent reason for a while, the village chief's wife sighed, clasped her hands together, and prayed to the sky:
"God, please open your eyes and spare the people of Minhuang County. Please give us some rain in the next two days.
Otherwise, my damned guy would have to take the whole family, young and old, and escape to that unreliable foreign place.
We can’t even handle our own territory, so how can we go to other places and be tolerated by others?”
The village chief's wife's prayer was intentional. On the one hand, she really hoped that God would make it rain, and on the other hand, she was saying it to her husband, hoping that he would change his mind.
The village chief was a little annoyed by her nagging. His wife never went out of the front door or the back door, so she had no idea what the situation was like outside. It was simply impossible for her to survive there. If she didn't leave now, she would not be able to leave even if she wanted to.
"Look at her. She's so mad!"
The village chief stamped his feet suddenly and turned his face away.
"Uncle, do they all agree to go?"
The village chief's four sons have all started families and do not live with them, so Wen Meijiu has no way of knowing their situation.
"I've informed everyone one by one, and the children said they would listen to me."
The old village chief's four sons were all very filial. Their predictions were the same as the village chief's, so there was no disagreement at all on the issue of fleeing famine.
The most difficult person to deal with is his stubborn wife.
Listening to the village chief's wife mumbling over there, Wen Meijiu suddenly had an idea. Since she believed in God so much, why not let God give her a message?
Wen Meijiu was just about to tell the village chief his idea when a group of people rushed in at the village chief's door.
They rushed to discuss ideas with the village chief:
"Village Chief, it's a mess outside, what should we do?"
"Uncle, can you give me some advice?"
"I just passed by Dongwang Village, the nearest village outside the city. I heard that the disaster victims broke into the home of Mr. Liu, the richest man in the village, and robbed everything. That was not the end. Mr. Liu and his son were beaten to death."
"Don't they have a group of thugs at home?"
The village chief was extremely shocked to hear the news. He knew Mr. Liu, but they were not close.
"Uncle, it's already this late. No matter how many thugs he has, can they be more than the disaster victims who are not afraid of death?
They can't even fill their stomachs now, they are doomed to die anyway, and when they see the food, they will fight to the death with Mr. Liu."
"I heard that Mr. Liu had initially agreed to treat the victims to a full meal, but there were too many people and the cooking speed could not keep up with the number of people eating, so he got scared and secretly sent someone to report to the authorities.
This news was heard by one of the victims, who shouted it out loud, and the crowd was so excited that he and his son were beaten to death.
Listening to these people's stories, Wen Meijiu felt that things were developing too fast, beyond her expectations.
But think about it, this situation is also expected.
These disaster victims had all traveled long distances from the northern counties to escape famine. Even if they had brought some food with them, they had walked hundreds of miles with their families and had starved for several days outside the northern city gate. Those who survived were all jealous, and no one was seen robbing anyone else.
"Village chief, this is an emergency. Can you give us some advice?"
If everyone wants to leave Minhuang County, they need time to pack up and discuss with their families. They haven't made up their minds yet. What if the victims come to their village at this time? What should they do?
The victims did not only rob the big households. Those who dared to rob the big households must be large-scale victims causing trouble. However, there were too many victims, and small-scale victims were also wandering around. They had tasted the sweetness and would never give up.
"What can I do? What can I do?"
The village chief clapped his hands and wished he could jump up. So many people came to him for help and he was at a loss. Veins bulged on his forehead with anxiety.
"Grandpa, don't panic. Let's organize the young and strong men in the village and have them take their farm tools to guard the various intersections in the village. At the same time, let's notify the elderly, children, women and children in each household to hurry up and pack up the valuables in their homes.
Please set a suitable time, and when the time comes, everyone will gather at the intersection near the southern avenue. The sooner we leave the village, the better."
The village chief listened to Wen Meijiu's logical words and nodded continuously. He fully agreed with Wen Meijiu's proposal.
The reason why the village chief agreed to Wen Meijiu's proposal was because he understood the current situation outside and he also wanted to escape the famine.
But not everyone in the village thinks this way, especially among those who come to the village chief for advice. Some of them are older and more conservative in their thinking. They just want the village chief to protect their families and have no intention of leaving here immediately.
When Wen Meijiu told their family to pack up and prepare to leave, he suddenly became unhappy.
"Where did you come from, little girl? You have no right to interrupt when adults are talking."
The person who said this was Wen Baoquan, a veterinarian who lived in the east end of the village. Because he had a skill, his family lived a relatively well-off life.
Even at this time, when other families are struggling to make ends meet, their family still has surplus food.
He didn't want to escape famine and steal food from other people's bowls, which was not a good way to make a living.
Wen Meijiu was choked suddenly and looked towards the crowd. She saw veterinarian Wang Baoquan smoking his pipe and glancing at her with a look of disgust.
"Security, you are the elder, how can you talk to a little girl like this?"
The village chief also felt that Wang Baoquan was too harsh in his words, but because Wang Baoquan was about the same age as him, he didn't want to criticize him too harshly.
"Brother, you said it yourself, she is just a girl. How can you listen to a girl when it comes to such a big thing in our village?
Are you saying that all of us men are not as smart as a girl like her?"
I have to say that Wang Baoquan is really good at winning popularity for himself. All the people who came here are men from various families. After he said that, no matter whether they agreed with Wen Meijiu or not, no one was willing to stand up and say a fair word for Wen Meijiu.
For the villagers, in this world, men are the head of the family, and their male chauvinism makes them go against their conscience for the sake of face.
After Wang Baoquan finished speaking, he took a puff of his pipe, turned his head to look at the men around him, and said with a fake smile:
"You are all men, tell me, would you listen to a little girl's mumbling?"
The crowd fell silent, and the village chief was put on the side, not knowing what to say.
Everyone was frightened by his words. Wang Baoquan was smoking his pipe with great pride. He lowered his head and blew out a cloud of smoke on the ground, and said with a smile:
"It seems that everyone thinks what I said makes sense."
Wen Meijiu sneered, folded his arms, moved behind the village chief, and tugged at his sleeve.
