Chapter 195 Report if you don't tell the truth
Ah Jiu looked back at Dad as if asking for help.
Naturally, you can't talk about this matter casually.
"Master Li Zheng, please sit down." Meng Shaode knew that his daughter was in trouble, so he first brought a stool for Li Zheng to sit in the courtyard. The circle of the courtyard was crowded with villagers.
There is not enough time outside to squeeze in.
"We brought this kind of food with us from our hometown. After all, we had to bring some food to escape the famine, so we managed to escape all the way to your village."
Meng Shaode's lie-telling skills have greatly improved, but he didn't tell lies either. If they hadn't been robbed by bandits on the way, they would still have the seeds now.
"So that's how it is." Satozheng muttered, stroking his beard.
"How is it possible? My distant relatives fled from the north. There is not even a chicken feather growing there. It rained last year and there was no banker. How can you have it?"
Someone in the crowd spoke.
All of a sudden everyone seemed to be in a state of shock.
"I've also heard that if those refugees from the north can have some food, they won't be reduced to robbing their homes. This big brother doesn't tell the truth."
The words sounded polite, but in reality there was a meanness underneath.
"That's right, maybe your family is a refugee who escaped from the city and robbed someone else's wheat. If you don't tell the truth, we can file a complaint with the government."
The person who said this had his hands in his sleeves and his face was full of jealousy and contempt.
Cai Lihua in the kitchen poked her head out, and when she was about to speak, Mao Lihua pulled her in:
"Brothers and sisters, with your temper, if you interrupt, you won't start a fight. Although I don't know what happened in the city, I have also heard about the refugee riots in the past two days. We are refugees from outside, although there are no
If you lose your conscience, don't make the matter bigger. If these people report us, none of us will be able to escape, so we should stay calm."
"Look what this guy said, we didn't touch a needle or a thread while escaping from famine, so how can we rob others of their food?"
Meng Shaode looked at so many people, including at least a hundred people, old and young, and the pressure was not a little bit great.
He is not afraid of fights, but what he fears most is that if these people get hot-headed and report them, it will be over.
Ah Jiu lowered his head and said nothing, wondering in his mind that he had to keep a low profile. If he had known she would not let his father open up wasteland, he could just harvest what he planted at home.
"Don't say a few words." Li Zheng cleared his throat and stood up, but his eyes fell on Ah Jiu:
"Girl Jiu'er, don't forget that it was Niu Dasheng who begged me to help him settle your household registration, but that doesn't mean that your parents are aunts and are also villagers of our Heba Village."
Ah Jiu was afraid that if Li Zheng said this, then his father, mother, aunt, grandma, and the others would be reported, so what would be the use of leaving him here.
"But they are my family. I swear, all my family members are good people." Ah Jiu couldn't find any powerful words to say.
"There are good people and bad people. Now everyone is in a hurry to plant the land. You can't just plant it as a family. You have to plant it together, or else we should plant it separately."
Ah Jiu looked at the person who was speaking. He was a scrawny old man, with an aggressive and mean look on his face, and his eyes looked like they were hiding knives.
"Uncle, what you say is a bit unreasonable. Are you trying to imitate those unscrupulous refugees who steal seeds? Then there is no difference between you and the refugees."
Ah Jiu was so angry that her face turned red.
"Am I being unreasonable? You robbed the food and refused to admit it. From what I see, after you came here, the monster killed three people in the village. Could it be someone in your family did it?"
The uncle's words became more and more outrageous, causing other villagers in Heba Village and Li Zheng to look at him in shock.
"Yes, I used to only hear that people died in Qiming Mountain, but now they have all come to our village, and no one from the government has found the murderer. It is designated that you outsiders have become insiders."
Others followed suit.
Ah Jiu was deeply moved by what he said, and took two steps back uneasily.
"Who said that? If you have the ability, stand up."
Cai Lihua in the kitchen was still not restrained by Mao Junlan. Who could bear these words?
