Parents are busy farming

Fang Zheng said: "This is very good. As long as we can survive tonight, we can make two tents with others tomorrow night and arrive at the destination in five days. At that time, the women and children can rest for a day."

Luo Xu couldn't help but look at the fifth man of the Fang family. Originally, he had only heard that the women of the Fang family were very talkative at home, and thought that the men of the Fang family were all as witty as Fang You with a hint of honesty. I didn't expect there to be such smart people.

It must be the Fang family's intention to spread the news that a woman is in charge of the family!

When Luo Xu was talking to everyone in the Fang family, the strong men in the village followed closely behind him, while those with weaker health fell at the back of the team.

When they came to the place where the caravan stopped, they saw Fang Youzheng and Ye Zifen chatting happily.

Fang You was the first to see Luo Xu and hurriedly got up and ran forward.

As soon as I came closer, I caught a glimpse of my daughter-in-law again. I quickly handed her the note I signed and said, "Daughter-in-law, look at this thing I signed."

Fang You's wife didn't think much and took the note.

Fang You greeted Luo Xu warmly and told in detail everything that had happened since the last separation.

At this moment, Ye Zifen also came to them.

She was surprised to find that Luo Xu had brought so many people with him.

Out of curiosity, Ye Zifen asked Fang You's wife: "Do you know how to read?"

Fang You's daughter-in-law nodded unabashedly in response, indicating that she had the ability to read and calculate accounts.

Ye Zifen showed admiration on his face, and then said: "Very good, then you first check whether there is any problem with this IOU. After completing it, please follow my men and write an IOU for everyone. After all, you are A member of the village can be counted as a witness to this incident.”

Fang You's daughter-in-law glanced at Luo Xu and everyone behind her in turn, and then nodded calmly to express her agreement.

Later, Ye Zifen led her to the carriage, pointed to Liu Meng'er in the car and said: "Meng'er will be responsible for writing, and you will be responsible for reading the contents of the IOU to everyone. Come on, you can also sign up. "Get in the car, it will be relatively warm inside."

Fang You's wife looked at the spacious and bright interior of the carriage in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity in her heart.

However, she knew that this was not the time to study the carriage, so she reached out and took out the IOU from her husband Fang You, looked at it carefully and confirmed that there was nothing unusual, then gave Ye Zifen a affirmative look.

After receiving the response, Ye Zifen immediately called Luo Xu to come over and prepared to ask him to write a new IOU.

Surprisingly, Luo Xu not only showed up in person, but also brought his eldest grandson with him.

Luo Xu said with a smile: "Miss Ye, why don't you write me and my grandson into this IOU?"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen first looked at Luo Xu's grandson who was standing aside, and then asked softly: "Do you have any objections to this matter?"

Seeing that the other party quickly and decisively shook his head in agreement, Ye Zifen thought for a moment, nodded lightly and said, "That's fine. It just requires both of you to press your fingerprints."

Luo Xu heard this and responded without hesitation: "It should be so."

At this time, Liu Menger on the side also began to interrogate the specific situation of Luo Xu's family.

After Luo Xu finished answering one by one, Liu Meng'er still turned around and asked Fang You's wife: "Is what he said roughly consistent with what you know?"

Faced with the sudden question, although Fang You's wife didn't know the reason, she still nodded her head honestly in reply.

Everyone was very curious as they watched Liu Meng'er start writing the IOU with a smile on her face.

After she finished writing it, she handed the IOU to Liu Menger without hesitation and motioned for her to read it aloud.

Don’t forget to remind me, “Your voice needs to be louder to ensure that people outside can hear it. This is very important.”

At the same time, Liu Meng'er quickly picked up another piece of paper and imitated the IOU just now - after all, they also needed to keep a copy as evidence.

After everyone pressed their fingerprints to confirm that everything was correct, Liu Menger handed over the loaned money in full.

At this time, Ye Zifen noticed that Luo Xu had already taken care of his family's affairs, so he decided to call him aside to talk privately.

She asked softly: "For those people who have run out of food at home, can you summon them individually?"

When Luo Xu heard this, his expression changed slightly and he replied: "Miss Ye, please come with me. This matter is quite complicated."

Although Ye Zifen had some speculations in his mind, seeing Luo Xu's expression, he stopped saying anything and followed him silently.

The two of them walked to the end of the line together, and what they saw in front of them surprised Ye Zifen - there was a group of old, weak, women and children gathered there! She couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Are these people also going together?"

Luo Xu said: "Only the half-old children of their family went, and the others were let Miss Ye take a look. There were also some who were too young or couldn't walk, so they were not allowed to come. They were the ones who had no food at home. It was really difficult for them to come. The situation at home is too..."

Luo Xu couldn't speak anymore.

But Ye Zifen understood what he meant and the pain of these people, "Stop talking, I understand what you mean."

Then she folded her arms and thought for a long time before saying: "You half-year-old children are not strong enough, and you are still growing, so don't be exhausted. Of course, you can't dig the reservoir with you, but I will help them find some suitable work." . It’s just that they can’t do anything else at their age. It’s better to find a long-term job, but I don’t know if their families are willing.”

After hearing what Ye Zifen said, Luo Xu asked doubtfully: "Do you want them to become apprentices or do work?"

Ye Zifen nodded: "That's right. I have some other businesses, and I should be able to arrange them. But I am a businessman after all. I can't just train people and let them stop doing it. You have to make it clear to their families. . You are from the same village, go and ask!"

Luo Xu nodded.

It stands to reason that Zi Zifen's arrangement is the most appropriate, but if the children are left home for a long time, coupled with their difficult family situation, the family members will definitely be reluctant to part with it.

But she never expected that when Luo Xugang relayed Ye Zifen's suggestion to them, they immediately agreed.

One of the women said: "Let him go! As long as the child can live well, that is our greatest wish. If he is trapped in the village, he may only die. Now that we can still supplement some family income, we are naturally very willing to do so." Yes."

An old man also said quickly: "We also want to thank the steward. We will kowtow to him later."
