Traveling through 1942 with space

As the words "release them" were spoken, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

However, officials have two mouths to open, and since the government has come to deal with the problem, it is natural that they will not return empty-handed.

After Xiaoge's side released the manager of the Fan Mansion, the manager of the Fan Mansion ran to the black-skinned Sheriff like he was looking for his mother and started to act pitiful.

After selling his misery, Hou Xiaoge used his mental power to scan and saw the butler of the Fan family took out ten dollars from the bag on his back and stuffed them into the pocket of the black-skinned Sheriff.

On the other side, the eldest cousin had been untied from the carriage and was hugging her uncle and crying, while Hou Yangmin had a smile on his face.

After receiving the money, the dark-skinned sheriff became obviously more friendly towards the housekeeper of the Fan residence, and kept saying comforting words, but he still patted his pockets and looked towards Hou Xiaoge.

Hou Xiaoge looked at the black dog that was looking at him and his group of people, sighed and endured it, took out three dollars from his pocket and walked up to his uncle.

"Uncle, here are three dollars, use them to get rid of the black dog!

The Fan family has spent money, and we still have to camp in Guanyintang Town today, so we have to give the black dog some benefits." Hou Xiaoge said in a low voice.

"Oh! Heiwa, thanks to you this time." Hou Yangmin knew how terrible the government was. He sighed, took the money and quickly walked up to Sheriff Heipi.

……

Sheriff Hei Pi knew that these refugees might not have money, but they never returned empty-handed when they went out to do business.

Although the shopkeeper of the Fan Mansion gave money, the more money the better. Who would complain about having too much money? He still stared at the group of Hou family members for a few seconds.

I hope these country bumpkins can be sensible, otherwise I might have to cause trouble for them today.

But I didn’t expect that I would get such a pleasant surprise and earn three oceans.

Three dollars can buy 40 kilograms of cornmeal through their internal government channels, which is enough to feed a family of three or four people for half a month.

However, Sheriff Darkskin also knew that he could not be the only one to benefit from the mission. He also had to take care of his subordinates, otherwise he would not know when they would be shot in the back.

So out of the thirteen dollars that Chief Inspector Liu collected today, he kept ten for himself, and the remaining three were exchanged for forty kilograms of cornmeal to distribute to his men. He was very happy.

"That's right, Hou Yangmin! I'll ask you to keep the people in your village in line. Guanyintang Town doesn't welcome people who like to stir up trouble. You should leave as soon as possible!"

After collecting the money, Sheriff Liu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the crowd in Nanjiagou, then warned Hou Yangmin a few words, waved his hand, and left with a group of his men.

After the officials walked away, the noise from the street, which had been suppressed just now, gradually became louder.

The steward of the Fan Mansion bandaged the wound with the help of the guards. He did not say anything harsh, but just looked at Hou Yangmin and Hou Xiaoge seriously.

Finally, under the gaze of Hou Xiaoge and the people in Nanjiagou, he shouted at the coachman to drive the horses away.

"Come on, let's go back too."

Hou Yangmin looked at the villagers around him and felt a little moved, but at the same time he felt very proud and he waved his hand, asking everyone to leave this place of trouble.

After the Nanjiagou team escorted Hou Xiaoge's family away, the voices of pointing and judging from the onlookers gradually grew louder, and the conflict came to an end.

"Dear relatives and elders, today I, Hou Yangmin, and my family would like to thank you for your help to our family.

Chunhua, kowtow to all the uncles and brothers. If it weren't for you today, Dad would not be able to redeem you." As soon as Hou Yangmin returned to the camp, he bowed to the tribesmen who followed him, and then quickly asked his eldest daughter to kowtow.

"Hey! Yangmin, you are so polite. We both have the surname Hou, so this is only natural."

"Yes, Brother Yangmin, you are still the elder of our Hou family! Can we, the Hou family, watch our elders being bullied by others?"

"Uncle Yangmin has helped our village a lot during this period. I admire Uncle Yangmin."

"Yeah!"

.........

The clan members did not stop my eldest cousin from kowtow. After all, this was still an era that valued etiquette.

But as the uncle bowed and the eldest cousin kowtowed three times, the clansmen around them felt honored, and a sense of clan unity instantly filled the entire camp.

Hou Xiaoge also stood in the crowd and watched silently. Looking at the people around him who were both strangers and united, he felt a sense of pride and belonging as a member of the Hou family.

"Everyone, according to the old custom of our village, we should kill a pig and hold a banquet to thank everyone today.

But now in this situation, I can only shamelessly apologize to everyone, but my family will never forget this friendship.

When we get to Qin Province and everyone settles down, I will definitely buy a pig and hold a banquet to thank everyone." After his daughter kowtowed, Hou Yangmin solemnly assured everyone.

"it is good!"

"I'm just waiting for Brother Yangmin's fat pork. Let me tell you in advance, I won't allow it to be less than three fingers fat."

"Yes, we won't allow anyone who is less than three fingers fat."

"Ha ha!"

.........

As the words "Fat Pork" appeared, the crowd became more lively. Everyone teased Hou Xiaoge's family and laughed from ear to ear, as if they had forgotten their temporary troubled lives.

After the crowd dispersed, Hou Xiaoge and his family sat together and talked about the thrilling scenes that had happened not long ago.

As the topic shifted, the uncle also asked about the reason why Hou Chunhua was sold.

It turned out that my eldest cousin was sold to the Zheng family as a child bride (actually a concubine) at the beginning of the year. After arriving at the Zheng family, Hou Chunhua became pregnant in the fourth month.

Nian Jin was not well off. Although the Zheng family opened a grocery store in the city, life was still very tight.

Hou Chunhua did not have a high status in the family and could only eat two steamed buns a day, which led to severe malnutrition. She had a miscarriage last month.

At the end of last month, Zheng’s grocery store could no longer operate, so he sold his property and fled to Guanyintang Town.

Hou Chunhua was very weak due to the long journey, poor nutrition, hot weather and miscarriage.

At the beginning of the month, when the Zheng family used their connections to buy train tickets, they found that the prices were ridiculously high. Hou Chunhua was just a purchased concubine, so the Zheng family naturally couldn't bear to buy expensive train tickets for Hou Chunhua. In the end, they sold Hou Chunhua to Fan's dental clinic.

After listening to Hou Chunhua's explanation, the older people in the Hou family fell silent, and the younger aunt couldn't help but burst into tears.

Hou Xiaoge couldn't help feeling sad when he saw Hou Chunhua, who was only fourteen years old and looked extremely thin and childish.

"Alas! The people suffer when the country prospers, and they suffer when the country perishes. The common people have it so hard." Looking at his family members who were dressed in rags around him, Hou Xiaoge felt mixed emotions and wanted to escape to Qin Province as soon as possible.

"Heiwa, I saw my third aunt a few days ago. How come she was sold? By the way, where is my third uncle?" Hou Chunhua suddenly asked.

"My mother? Big sister, where did you see my mother?" Before Hou Xiaoge could ask, Hou Xiazhu, who was standing beside her, leaned forward with excitement and asked,

"I also saw it at Fan's Dental Shop in Guanyin Town, but it was sold to Qin Province the day before yesterday. I don't know what happened to the rest." Hou Chunhua said with a sigh.

"Oh! If I had known earlier, I would have stopped the manager of the Fan Mansion and asked him about it.

Now that we have offended the Fan family, we have to find someone to go to the Fan pawnshop to find out where my mother was sold to in Qin Province." Hou Xiaoge said with a sigh.
