In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Xi'er's eyes widened and she looked at the candy in her hand. She liked it but didn't dare to take it.

He could only turn his attention to Village Chief Chen and ask for his opinion.

Village Chief Chen also waved his hand and said, "No, no, you can keep this candy for yourself. We originally walked together, so let's go together next time. How do you say thank you or not?"

Ye Lingyao shook her head, "Village Chief, I'm going to have to trouble the Village Chief along the way. It's just two candies. The Village Chief must not refuse."

He forcefully stuffed the candy into Xi'er's hand, "My sister gave this candy to Xi'er. Xi'er can decide whether to eat it or not. If you like it, you can eat it yourself. If you don't like it, you can." Xi'er can decide on her own whether to give it to others."

The village chief also didn't expect that this girl could actually say such words.

Wei Wei looked at her in surprise, thinking to himself, could it be that he had made a mistake?

Maybe this girl is not a child from an ordinary family. Otherwise, how could she say such a thing?

These people are all living in confusion.

A few years ago, he also studied for two years and understood some principles, but in the end he was just living along the trajectory of others.

Do things according to your own wishes?

He didn't seem to have taught his juniors this way, and his elders had never said such things to him.

Looking at Xi'er now, he thought about it, nodded, and when he accepted the candy, he suddenly felt that this was not bad.

Children will eventually grow up, and one day they will have their own thoughts and live their own lives. If they don't understand anything, they will inevitably be bullied in the future.

That is to say, you must have your own thoughts and not be easily influenced by others, so that you can live a happy life in the future.

Especially female dolls.

In the future, you will always get married and become a member of someone else's family. If you don't have any thoughts of your own, you will probably be rubbed to death by your husband's family.

After spending the past few days together, he fell in love with Xi'er even more. She was really smart and well-behaved.

Although he is not as mature and steady as Ye Lingyao, it is not much different.

After all, being smart is the same.

Now when he thinks of Xi'er being bullied by her husband's family like a doormat, he feels a throbbing pain in his heart.

In the end, he didn't say anything, and just watched Xier happily go to find his brother with two candies.

Ye Lingyao looked at him happily, "Village chief, should we set off directly now?"

The village chief nodded, "Let's go. We are still a little far away now. It will probably take about ten days to get to Dongyang Mansion."

Ye Lingyao thought to herself that it was difficult to buy horses in ancient times, but it was still possible to buy a donkey.

If she had a little donkey to ride on her, she would probably be able to reach Dongyang Mansion in only six or seven days at most, right?

After saying that, he felt a little resentful again, and turned to look at Ye Lingzhi, accusing him of being unkind with his eyes.

Ye Lingzhi didn't seem to notice anything and was still on his way.

Only his slightly quickened pace gave him away.

Ye Lingzhi felt guilty, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

To be honest, it was really difficult for my sister to walk so much.

But when he thought about having no money to live in the future, he felt that the little donkey was not in such urgent need.

If you keep the money now, you can build a small house in the future. You can also slowly save money to buy a donkey.

With this thought in my mind, I became even more determined to work hard to make money and support my sister in the future.

He would never let his sister look at him like this again just because he was a little bitch.

It was so scary, he always felt that there was a hint of murderous intent in those eyes.

He felt that if he didn't run faster, he would definitely get a kick on the butt.

In this way, a group of people walked for more than ten days and finally arrived at Dongyang Mansion, which they had longed for.

They could have arrived earlier, but because Aunt Niu was ill for two days on the way, their journey was delayed a bit.

It wasn't until she arrived at Dongyang Mansion that Aunt Niu regained some energy.

But she was still very guilty, feeling that she had dragged them down.

When her illness was at its worst, she even wanted them to leave first and leave her alone.

But these people are all relatives, and their families are very close. How can they leave Aunt Niu and go on her own?

In the end, everyone found a doctor in a nearby town, treated their illness, and stayed for two days before continuing their journey.

It was just a minor cold, and it would have been fine if I stayed for two more days.

It was also because I didn't stay too long and was tired from the long journey on the road, so I started to feel better intermittently until I got near Dongyang Mansion.

Fortunately, things are getting better. I heard that the investigation is stricter here.

Most of the people who were sick were stopped, for fear that they might be carrying illness.

After all, it is also a lean year, and someone may be carrying the plague if they are not careful.

If you contract the plague, it is an infectious disease. In this era, people can easily die even if a cold is not cured.

If he got the plague, he would probably die before he could be rescued.

After arriving at the city gate, everyone stopped.

There were many people gathered at the city gate, but they were still in good order.

Of course, perhaps the reason why the order is so good is also because there are a large number of soldiers with swords standing around.

This is not like the guard at the county gate before. This is a serious soldier wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand.

If someone dares to cause trouble at this time, they will really kill that person directly without any mercy.

It wasn't until everyone got closer that they saw many people queuing up.

Village Chief Chen thought of sending someone over to inquire about the situation.

He asked Chen Dalin to go over there and ask first. They would line up here first and wait to see the situation.

Chen Dalin came back soon after he left.

Bring back a message.

"Dad, the official over there said that the people queuing up now are all here to settle down in Dongyang Mansion. If we want to settle here, we need to register in front and hand over five hundred coins each, and then we can settle in Here it is.”

Village Chief Chen swayed twice and almost lost his balance, "Why do we have to hand over the money again? Didn't we pay one or two before? Why do we still have to hand over the money?"

Chen Dalin sighed, "I heard from the people in line in front that it was to select a group of people. Those who have money in their hands now have the ability to survive. When the time comes, they can settle down and support themselves. If they even If we can’t get this little money out, we won’t be able to survive even if we settle down.”

Village Chief Chen didn't know what to say. The government was a little ruthless in doing this, but it was also reasonable.
