Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Listening to Aunt Hehua's narration and supplemented by other aunts and uncles nearby, Bai Zhizhi gradually understood the reason.

Yanghe Village was indeed the richest village in the surrounding area, but it was too rich and was always targeted by others.

A few years ago, their area was not very safe. Bandits often appeared in the mountains and robbed passers-by.

Somehow, Yanghe Village became the target of these bandits.

Then one day, when everyone in Yanghe Village was asleep, bandits rushed into the village.

They held weapons in their hands and shouted slogans. They attacked anyone they saw, regardless of gender, and robbed anything they saw. Almost every household suffered.

The men in the village wanted to resist, but they were no match for the bandits and many of them were injured.

After they had robbed everything, the bandits set fire to the place and fled, leaving the people of Yanghe Village to look at the mess on the ground, crying out to heaven and earth for help, but no one could help them.

But life has to go on. Because of the sudden arrival of the bandits, many people in the village were injured. In order to provide medical treatment and medicine for the injured at home, and also to survive, some people in Yanghe Village began to think about selling land.

Land is the lifeblood of farmers, but when their lives are in danger, who cares about those things? That’s why the first person in the village sold land.

Maybe God saw that the people in their village had such a hard life, so he gave them a way to survive.

The family's land was bought by a landlord, who not only gave them the money from the sale of the land, but also promised that they could rent the land and become tenants of their family.

The family took the silver, saw the doctor and got medicine, bought some things, and began to promote the landlord in the village.

Soon, other families in the village who were also having a hard time became ruthless and followed suit by selling their land to survive the difficult times.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, most people were unwilling to lose the land on which they depended for their survival, so the other people in the village gritted their teeth and stopped.

Just when their lives were getting better, God played a joke on them again and the bandits came again.

The same night, the same tactics, the bandits clamored to leave, and the villagers cried and hung up white flags.

After two encounters with bandits, life in the village became even more difficult. Even though they were reluctant, they had to make the decision in order to keep their family alive.

More people in the village went to sell their land.

"Fortunately, our lives aren't too hard. Our land was bought by that kind-hearted Mr. Wang. He not only gave us money, but also let us rent his land and become his tenants. Although life is a little hard, we can still get by."

Aunt Hehua had a smile on her face when she said this.

It wasn't just her. Bai Zhizhi looked at the other people around her and found that they all had more or less satisfied smiles on their faces.

Bai Zhizhi couldn't understand why they were so happy when they heard that the tenants weren't having a good time.

Bai Zhizhi couldn't figure it out, so she simply asked, "Auntie, Mr. Wang bought your land and made you tenants. You can only work hard for him every day. Don't you feel sad?"

Because of the free tasting, they have unknowingly attracted most of the people in Yanghe Village.

Hearing Bai Zhizhi's question, an old man with white hair and beard, who was squinting in the sun, slowly sat up straight with his hunched body.

"Well, life is life, no matter how you live it is still life."

The people around him immediately nodded in agreement and fell silent, waiting for the old man to continue speaking.

Bai Zhizhi also realized that this old man must have a high status in Yanghe Village, so she smiled and handed the few remaining pieces of braised meat to him.

Old Man Yang waved his hand and forced a smile, revealing his few remaining teeth. "I'm old, I can't bite anymore."

Bai Zhizhi smiled and distributed the meat to the children surrounding the old man.

Several children immediately said thank you obediently, and it was obvious that they were well-educated children.
