Farming and reading family

Those people spoke with righteous indignation, as if the Chen family had done something that was hated by God and man.

In the end, we have to go to the Chen family to ask for an explanation.

"Let's see who dares to go!" Zheng Fengan roared and stood up.

As soon as Zheng Fengan stood up, other people in the village also stood up, blocking the way for those people to go to Chen's house.

"Uncle." Zheng Wang had previously thought his uncle was silent because he wanted to see the Chen family's attitude through them. "You have to make the decision for us. You can't let the Chen family force us to death."

Zheng Fengan had seen through Zheng Wang's thoughts long ago: "I didn't say anything because I wanted to hear what kind of cruel words you all could say."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of those families became embarrassed.

"You joined the village collective voluntarily, but now you are betraying us. You say that what we are doing today is not your family's work. Are you going to eat your own food throughout the winter?" Zheng Fengan questioned.

Those people's faces looked even uglier.

"Zheng Wang, have you cleared all the land? Did you clean it up by yourselves? Did the Chen family say anything? Did the villagers say anything?" Zheng Fengan stared at Zheng Wang.

Zheng Wang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Let me say this today. Our Baotou Village is now a village collective headed by the Chen family. If you want to trouble the Chen family, you must trouble Baotou Village." Zheng Fengan said in a resounding voice.

"You should have a conscience. What the Chen family gave you last year wasn't food, it was your lives," Zheng Fengan said excitedly. "Go out and see what the villages along the Wangba River are like now."

Everyone was silent. Although they rarely went out, they had heard a little about the situation outside.

Take the Chen family's in-laws, the Yang family, for example. Although they are not a wealthy family, they have their own land and many children and grandchildren.

Now only Yang Jizong and Yang Ernao are left. If they hadn't come to rely on his daughter, the Yang family would probably have lost the only heir.

In their Baotou Village, except for those who did not run back to the old village at the beginning, everyone survived and is living well.

Zheng Wang and the others didn't dare to say anything else. After all, they didn't dare to confront the entire village.

"You families have made it very clear during the day that you will have nothing to do with the village collective in the future. I will not drive you out of the village for the time being, but you will have nothing to do with the village in the future." Zheng Fengan made the conclusion.

Zheng Wang heard his uncle's resolute words: "We are hungry too. We have been working for half a day..."

"Just starve if you want. You are just ungrateful wolves who can never be fed." Zheng Fengan didn't give them any face at all.

Zheng Wang and his friends didn't dare to look for the Chen family again. They planned to stay up all night. Anyway, there were many people looking for long-term workers now, so the worst that could happen was that they could go out and work as long-term workers.

However, farmhands only need strong laborers, and the elderly and children in the family are still a problem.

Soon the news reached the Chen family, and the Chen family sat together to discuss the matter.

"After this incident, Zheng Wang and the others may have to go out and work as long-term laborers," Chen Qing analyzed.

"They can go wherever they want, and they have the nerve to come to our house and ask for an explanation." Chen Jie was angry.

Chen Qing looked at Gao E and said, "Those families have quite a few strong laborers, so clearing the slopes for planting trees will probably take a while."

"It's okay." Gao E had already figured it out. "I'm definitely not going to win this year. No one can predict what will happen next."

Chen Qing could only think this way: "We are rushing to plant the summer crops now, and we are short of manpower. I am afraid there will be trouble."

Gao E frowned when she heard Chen Qing say this.

Peng Can had said before that those landlords who paid high wages would definitely work their workers to death. She always felt like she seemed to have overlooked something.

Gao E arranged a night watch before going to bed. Since something like this happened during the day, it would be better to be careful at night.

After arranging the night watch, Gao E went to check on the pepper and tomato seeds, and plant them when the temperature was right.

Lei was a little disgusted: "Second sister-in-law said that this pepper is choking and hurts the mouth, but it looks a little better."

Gao E smiled. People nowadays eat very little salt and have a light taste. It is normal that they cannot accept strong-tasting foods like chili peppers for a while.

"Add more sesame seeds and peanuts after frying, it will be fragrant." Gao E explained.

"Peanuts and sesame seeds are naturally fragrant." Lei disagreed, then sneezed due to being choked.

When Gao E saw Lei laughing like this, she suddenly realized what she had overlooked.

Spring is the peak season for colds, and it is easy to catch a cold if you are overly tired and catch a cold.

In this era, typhoid fever can be fatal.

Thinking of this, her expression became serious, and Lei was so scared that she rubbed her nose and dared not sneeze again.

She didn't notice anything unusual about Lei's family, and immediately wrote a prescription for Lianhua Qingwen.

This was due to the fact that medicine was unavailable at the time, so she just went to the pharmacy to get it prepared and cooked it herself. She was deeply impressed by this recipe.

"What are these?" Lei didn't recognize all the words on it.

"A prescription." Gao E said as she put it away. "Go check on Yu Ning and the others in their cave. Don't let them catch a cold. Also tell them to be careful with the cave where the third brother lives."

"Okay." Lei nodded.

Early in the morning, Zheng Wang and his group discussed working as long-term farmhands, but the elderly and children at home still had to be taken care of by the villagers.

The relationship was good before, but the villagers were unwilling to take this job.

What help take care of?

They go out and make a ton of money and let other people help them?

Besides, everyone has a fixed daily food ration, and no one has extra food to help others.

Just as they were trying to refuse, Gao E brought Lu Hao over.

Zheng Wang looked at Gao E with some unfriendly eyes.

"Uncle Sun." Gao E ignored Zheng Wang and the others because she was not familiar with them.

Doctor Sun was drying bamboo shoots when Gao E called him over. "What's going on?"

"Come with me to the city to buy some medicine." Gao E said directly.

"It's so unlucky to buy medicine when you have nothing to do." Zheng Wang's wife rolled her eyes.

"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Old man Feng on the side retorted directly.

Zheng Wang's wife didn't dare to say anything, because Old Man Feng was older.

"Okay." Doctor Sun agreed directly. "When you are ready, call me. I will be waiting here."

Gao E nodded and left.

Zheng Wang quickly blocked Gao E's way. Gao E took a step back and the villagers in the cave immediately stood up.

Zheng Wang was a little embarrassed when he saw the villagers' reactions. "I just... want you to help take care of my mother and son for a few days."

"I'm busy." Gao E refused bluntly. She really didn't expect Zheng Wang to have the nerve to find her.

"It's no big deal. Just give them something to eat." Zheng Wang said shamelessly.

"Are you addicted to freeloading?" Gao E glared at Zheng Wang mockingly. "Do you think my Chen family's food was blown in by the wind?"

Zheng Wang blushed when he heard this, but they had already made this choice and had already withdrawn from the village collective, so they had no choice but to go on.

"What? You want to eat without pooping, and make a profit without losing anything?" Gao E's eyes were sharp. "Whoever wants to be the sucker can do it. We in the Chen family are kind to others, but we are not easy to bully. Besides, if you are unfaithful once, you will never be used again."
