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

But in the end, what's wrong with them, the common people?

Not to mention the war, not to mention the famine, how can people like them survive with these levels of checkpoints asking for money?

Even if there is the ability to survive, it is still the money that the family has worked hard to save.

If they were handed over like this, how could they have the money to rebuild their home, and how could they survive?

They don't have much money right now, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to pay enough for such people to settle down.

But if they don't hand it over, where should they go?

I definitely can’t go back to my hometown. If I go forward...

He sighed and asked, "Can we go over there and move forward?"

The expression on Chen Dalin's face became more serious. He shook his head and replied, "The official said that we can only go here and can't go any further. After registering from here, we will be assigned to Each village may also be assigned to another provincial capital, in which case you can go directly, but you still have to pay money."

Village Chief Chen sighed, "What should we do?"

Then he hurriedly turned to Aunt Niu and asked, "Old lady, how much money do we have left? Is it enough for so many of us to go there?"

Although Aunt Niu was a little reluctant to give up, she still took out a small handkerchief with some money inside.

She keeps all the money in the family, and she knows how much money there is.

Right now, I have enough money to settle down, but if I want to build a house or something in the future, I'm afraid I will really have no money.

Village Chief Chen sighed, took it and counted it, and then said, "There are seven taels of silver in total here."

Village Chief Chen’s family includes Chief Chen, Aunt Niu, Chen Dalin, Chen Erlin, Sister Chen, Second Sister Chen. Chen Dalin has two sons, and Chen Erlin has one son, a total of nine people.

Chen Daya's family has a son and a daughter, plus her husband, a total of four people.

There are thirteen people in total, and a total of more than six taels of silver is needed. If all the silver is handed over, I'm afraid their life will be difficult.

Chen Daya looked at the silver in her mother's hand, gritted her teeth, and took out a small handkerchief from her arms.

"Mom, this is ours."

There were three taels of silver wrapped in her veil, not much more.

Right now, their combined total is only ten taels of silver.

Village Chief Chen sighed and said, "That's all, let's take it as much as we can. Get through this first, and then slowly make money later. You will eventually make it back."

Finally, he handed all the money to Chen Dalin, "Dalin, keep this money. You can pay it later and help us register!"

Ye Lingyao thought for a while, then took out a tael of silver from the space and handed it over, "This belongs to both of us."

Village Chief Chen looked at them in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"

Is their family really not an ordinary family?A child actually has so much money on his body?

If the money before was earned by selling wolf skins, now this tael of silver was actually taken out of themselves.

For a child over ten years old to have so much money on his person, it is hard not to make people suspicious.

It's not that big of a deal.

After all, the child got it through her own ability, whether it was given by her parents or how she got it, if she didn't steal or rob, the rest doesn't matter.

But he still pushed the money back, "You two kids don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Just keep the money and live a good life in the future."

Ye Lingyao was very grateful and put the money into Chen Dalin's hand, "Grandpa, village chief, don't worry, we still have money on hand, and we will live our lives well in the future. If there is a day when we really can't survive, Let me ask you for help again!”

The village chief sighed, unable to resist, and finally let Chen Dalin accept the money.

In fact, Chen Dalin secretly hoped to accept the money. After all, their family's life was not easy. If they really paid this money, their future life would be even more difficult.

If it had been the case, they would have gritted their teeth and given it one tael of silver, but now, one tael of silver was their annual ration.

It cannot be given away easily.

He collected the money and nodded at Ye Lingyao.

"Girl of the Ye family, don't worry. If anything happens in the future, I can come to you. I will definitely help Uncle Chen if he can."

Ye Lingyao smiled and replied, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

As they talked, everyone lined up, and within a short time they were already there.

Chen Dalin walked at the front, talking to the household registration officer about their situation and handing over money.

Say it one by one.

My flesh hurts like something.

When it was finally the turn of the Ye family brothers and sisters, Chen Dalin was slightly stunned.

"Boy from the Ye family, you know your family's situation yourself, so tell me!"

Ye Lingyao hurriedly stopped Ye Lingzhi and took two steps forward, "Second brother, let me tell you!"

Ye Lingzhi also knew that it was not easy for him to say this, so he finally nodded, "Okay, you tell me."

And this behavior, in the eyes of others, is that the younger sister wants to say that her brother is just being humble, and has not thought about anything else.

Ye Lingyao thought for a while, then stepped forward and asked, "Sir, I haven't found my parents yet. Can I settle down now? What should my parents do?"

The man was stunned, but nodded, "You can settle down, you can also settle your parents' household here together, and wait until you find it in the future. If you can't find it, you can cancel the household."

Then I thought about it and felt that it was not good to say this to a child, so I added, "If your parents have settled elsewhere, you can also come to us to transfer your household registration to your parents' names. ,It is all acceptable."

Ye Lingyao nodded after hearing this man's explanation. "Thank you very much, sir."

So he reported everyone in his family.

As the man took notes, he felt something was wrong, "Why are there so many people in your family? If so many people are being recorded, you can't just pay one tael of silver!"

The corner of Ye Lingyao's mouth twitched, "Sir, you also said that it is not certain whether my parents can be found back. If they are found back, I will definitely go to the Yamen to make up for the money. If not... "

As she said this, she looked aggrieved, and everyone who looked at her was at a loss.

How can they, a group of grown men, control a little child from crying?

All he could do was say hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I'll just take you brothers and sisters. When the time comes to find your parents, remember to come to the Yamen and say something, remember?"
