On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

When the villagers from Linjia Village who came with them heard that they could also share pumpkins, they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

They followed Song Xile to get the pumpkins as excitedly as if they were walking on clouds.

The group was so happy that when they saw the pumpkin, they were dumbfounded.

There were at least a hundred pumpkins distributed to them. How could they get them back?

When they went out today, a few people only brought a cloth bag. Now there were suddenly so many big things, and the people in Linjia Village were at a loss as to how to take them back.

Song Xile heard the discussion and saw that they looked troubled, so he suggested, "How about I help you borrow two carts in the village? After you transport the pumpkins back, you can send the carts back to me."

The villagers of Linjia Village were delighted when they heard this. One of them was about to agree, but was stopped by Village Chief Lin. "No, if we run into the disaster victims from Nanyang County on the way with so many pumpkins, how can we possibly protect them?"

"Let's leave three people here to guard, and the other three go back and call for help!"

When Song Xile, who was standing by, heard this, alarm bells suddenly went off in his heart. What did they mean by disaster victims from Nanyang County?

She tried to suppress the beating of her heart, and after Village Chief Lin arranged for the villagers, she asked in a low voice: "What did Village Chief Lin mean just now? What disaster victims?"

Village Chief Lin did not choose to hide anything in response to Song Xile's question. He looked around, then lowered his voice and told Song Xile what happened last night.

"I came late today so I went to the county government office to report this matter to the county magistrate. It is still unknown whether there are any disaster victims coming to our county."

"These pumpkins are related to our livelihood in the second half of the year, so it's always better to be cautious."

Song Xile suddenly felt uneasy, thinking that what he feared would come true.

After asking Village Chief Lin for some details, she immediately returned home to find Old Song and her husband to discuss the matter.

After hearing what his daughter said, Old Song stood up from his chair in shock.

He asked anxiously: "What...what should we do? Will the disaster victims come to us to steal our food?"

After a rational analysis, Song Xile nodded, "Theoretically, it's possible!"

Old Song's face turned pale with fright. Even the county magistrate dared to kill the victims. What would he do if he robbed them?

Chen Yunyou watched his father-in-law pace back and forth anxiously and comforted him, "Father-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. Xile just said it was just a possibility. The city is so prosperous now. If I were them, I would definitely go to the city."

"Besides, there are still so many people in our village. Xile also hired dozens of people to patrol here yesterday. Those disaster victims don't dare to rob easily."

Old Song's tense mood eased a little thanks to his son-in-law's comforting words.

Gradually calming down, he said to the two men, "This matter is of great importance. I will go talk to the tribe leader first and ask the villagers to prepare in advance. You should also tell the people you invited so that they can be mentally prepared."

Song Xile nodded, "Dad, go ahead, I will take care of these things myself."

She understood what her father meant. Now that such a dangerous situation had occurred, it was better to inform them in advance and give these people room to choose.

Otherwise, once the victims really come, they will cause chaos from within.

After Old Song left, the couple also wanted to go to the back mountain.

The two of them temporarily handed the sales matter over to Second Brother Song. He had set up a stall in the city before and after a whole morning of sales, he had already become familiar with handling such a situation.

Song Xile called the Qiao brothers to the foot of the mountain, and then asked them to gather the villagers who were picking pumpkins in the fields or reclaiming land in the mountains.

When everyone was present, Song Xile, who was standing in the crowd, said to everyone: "Uncles, I just heard a piece of news that there are disaster victims in the neighboring Nanyang County..."

When the crowd heard this, they immediately exploded, and Song Xile's words were instantly drowned out by the noisy exclamations.

"What? There are disaster victims. What should we do? Will the disaster victims come to our county?"

"The victims are very cruel. Oh my God, what should we do?"

"Should we go back?"

"Why go back? We came here to work because we have no food at home. If we go back like this, what will our wives and children eat and drink?"

“…”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Song Xile continued, "Uncles, if you feel it is dangerous to stay here, you can go back. I can settle the wages for the two days right away."

When people encounter danger, it is their instinctive reaction to seek benefits and avoid harm.

After realizing their situation, everyone said they would not go back.

Chen Ying smiled and explained, "Madam, it's still uncertain whether the disaster victims will come. We can't just stop eating because of choking. We will stay here and do the work and not go back."

"Who knows, the victims may not dare to rob us when they see our large numbers!"

Someone echoed: "Yes, with so many of us, how can we be afraid of him?"

Song Xile smiled and nodded, "Xile, thank you all uncles for your willingness to help!"

"Well, no matter if the victims come or not, as long as the uncles and aunts do their best to guard this place during this period, I will give each of them 100 kilograms of food as a reward after the pumpkin sales are over."

The eyes of the villagers in Songjia Village lit up with excitement.

If they could get 100 kilograms of grain, as long as they ate sparingly, it would certainly not be a problem for a family of five to survive until the autumn harvest.

At this moment, the villagers of Songjia Village were extremely grateful that they did not leave.

Someone confirmed again in disbelief: "Is there really a hundred kilograms of food? Can we return the pumpkin seeds to us?"

Song Xile nodded, "Of course, how can I break my promise?"

The villagers immediately cheered, and the sound attracted many villagers from Chenjia Village to look over here.

Several team leaders spoke up to stop them, saying, "Okay, stop yelling and get back to work."

The villagers immediately took hoes and sickles and went to the fields and hilltops in groups of three or two.

At this moment, their faces were filled with smiles, and there was no sign of the uneasiness just now.

It turns out that as long as the benefits are big enough, people can overcome the fear of the unknown!

After all the villagers of Songjia Village left, Song Xile looked at the Qiao brothers.

"I also want to ask you about this matter. If both of you stay here, it's really worrying that only women and children are left at home."

Song Xile's words hit the nail on the heads of the two brothers. Now only their mother, wife and children were at home in the county town. If the victims attacked the county town, they would be no match for them.

Qiao Da took a step forward, clasped his fists towards Song Xile and said, "My brothers and I have an unwelcome request. We would like to bring our family members to live with us. I wonder if my lady can accommodate us?"

In the eyes of the two brothers of the Qiao family, although the county government has runners, it is also the richest place. There are risks wherever they stay, so it is safest to bring their families to live with them!

Moreover, after spending these days together, the Qiao brothers also realized that the other party was a kind and righteous person, and it was not easy to find such an employer, so the two were unwilling to give up this job.

At this time, Song Xile was reluctant to let the two people with martial arts skills leave, and saw that they were willing to stay.

Song Xile couldn't ask for more. She responded, "There is an empty room in the west wing of my house. My sister-in-law and her family can stay at my house when they arrive."

Qiao Da did not refuse, but bowed and thanked him, saying, "In that case, I am sorry to bother you!"
