The blessed girl of rebirth comes to the door
Chapter 149 Borrowing Food
While they were eating, there was a knock on the gate and Lingzhi ran to open it.
After a while, Lingzhi came running over and said, "Miss, there are a few villagers outside who want to borrow food."
Borrow your mother? Everyone was stunned!
Wang Ruixue put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll go take a look."
When Wang Ruixue and Lingzhi came out of the yard and saw several villagers waiting at the door, his heart sank.
Among the villagers, Tie and Tao were the two people she disliked.
"I wonder why you all come to my house?" Wang Ruixue asked knowing the answer.
One of the villagers spoke up, rubbing his hands, "Ruixue, ah, no, County Lord, it's like this, we are out of food at home, so we want to come to your house to borrow some."
"Yes, yes," the other villagers nodded.
I, Wang Ruixue, sneered. When I was hoarding food, these people laughed at her behind her back. Don't think she doesn't know.
"I remember that everyone in the village stockpiled food before the blizzard. Why? Didn't you stockpile food?"
When several villagers heard this, a trace of guilt flashed across their eyes.
Tao was afraid that others would say something wrong, so she stepped forward quickly and said, "Hey, County Lord, we have stockpiled. It's not that we don't have enough money. No, we haven't stockpiled much."
"Oh, really?" Wang Ruixue didn't expose it, "I'm sorry, we don't have much food at home.
I think you all know that my grandfather's family and Uncle Yang's family are now living in my house. So many people need to feed, and there is not enough food. I am also worried."
The villagers' faces froze; of course they had heard about it.
"Hehe, County Lord, we have heard about it. Now we really have no surplus food at all, so we have no choice but to come to your house with a shameless face to borrow food." Another villager spoke up.
"Some time ago, I borrowed some from Li Zheng, the village chief, and other villagers. I have borrowed from almost everyone."
Tie also spoke at this time, and her meaning was very clear: everyone in the village had borrowed money, and now only your family was left.
Wang Ruixue was really shocked by Tie's shamelessness. Did he want to blackmail her morally? "I'm afraid I'll disappoint her. I won't lend it to her."
Wang Ruixue turned and left. One of the villagers became anxious and said angrily, "County Lord, we are from the same village after all. You are too cruel."
Wang Ruixue responded bluntly, "Do I have to be responsible for you as a member of the same village?
I am your father and mother. When we were hoarding food, you guys always said bad things about me behind my back. Why are you here to borrow food with such a smug face now? "
Tao and others were immediately angry, annoyed and guilty.
The noise here soon attracted the people in the house. Yao was the first to rush out and started cursing at Tao and others.
"You are a bunch of heartless people. My daughter asked you to stockpile food, but you didn't. Now I am angry that I don't want to lend you food. How can I owe you anything?"
Wang Dashan picked up a broom and hit them with it, "Get out of here now, or I'll beat you to death."
A group of people were so scared that they fled away.
"Bah, what a shameless bunch." Yao spat at the backs of those people.
Wang Ruixue thought of a serious problem: the villagers are now short of food.
I think other people should also start to run out of food. If they have food, they will become popular.
Back in the house, Wang Ruixue called everyone to a meeting.
Wang Ruixue said with a serious face, "Today is probably just the beginning, and more and more people will come to borrow grain in the future.
Uncle Yang, Grandfather, you trust me, hide all the food for me, and only keep enough food for a few days."
After hearing this, everyone's faces became solemn.
Yang Tu: "Rui Xue, look at what you said, we believe you."
Yao Chen: "If I don't trust my granddaughter, who should I trust?"
Wang Ruixue: "Okay, without further ado, you put the food in the cellar of the ear room, and I will hide it."
The others immediately began to carry the food into the ear room cellar.
Wang Ruixue only kept some of the food at night and stored the rest in the RV.
As the snow fell, other houses in the village also collapsed and covered the ground. Some people were crushed to death in their sleep, and their bodies were already stiff when they were found.
Many houses in the village were in danger of collapse, so people had to move to the ancestral hall, which was suddenly overcrowded.
There were only three earthen kangs, and everyone wanted to sleep on one. They fought over it until they were bloody. In the end, the village chief came out to mediate.
In order to be fair, everyone took turns sleeping on the earthen kang. Now that the issue of the earthen kang was resolved, a new problem arose for me.
Today this family’s food was stolen, tomorrow that family’s firewood was stolen…
More and more villagers were short of food. Many hadn’t eaten for three days and were dizzy with hunger.
Wang Ruixue soon discovered a new problem. Many surrounding villages had no surplus food. When they were stockpiling food, they had more or less heard that their village was stockpiling food.
But now the villagers are afraid that their food has run out. When other villages come to grab food, they won’t have the physical strength to keep up. This is a dangerous signal.
Wang Ruixue asked Wang Dashan to build a stove on the back floor to cook porridge for the villagers who had no surplus food.
At first, the family didn’t understand. Wang Ruixue explained the pros and cons to them, and everyone was scared.
Now that her family is the only one with a lot of food, it will definitely be coveted by others. If she gives porridge to the villagers, when other villages come to grab food, the villagers will definitely help drive them away.
Once her family’s food is stolen, the villagers will lose their food rations, and since it concerns their food rations, they will definitely protect them.
Only when their interests are involved will they risk their lives to stop it. This is human nature.
Wang Zifu went to the village to inform those who had no surplus food to come to his home to get porridge.
Soon a long line formed outside Wang Ruixue's house to get porridge.
Of course, this porridge was not given to them for free. Wang Ruixue knew very well that a little bit of rice would be followed by a grudge.
A bowl of thick porridge cost one penny, and it also came with a black steamed bun.
When the villagers learned that it only cost a penny, no one objected. Instead, they were very grateful to Wang Ruixue.
"Oh, our village is so lucky to have a county lord!"
"Yes, it's only one penny. What can you buy with one penny nowadays?"
"..."
The villagers who had come to Wang Ruixue's house to borrow grain and had an unpleasant experience before were now quietly mixed in the team.
Several people whispered to each other, "Humph, you refused to lend us food in the beginning, but now you want to make money."
"That's right, you're not afraid of retribution for making such dirty money."
When it was their turn soon, Wang Ruixue simply refused to give it.
"next."
"I haven't yet?" the villager reminded.
"No sale," Wang Ruixue refused directly.
"Why don't you sell it?" the villagers asked, their tone filled with anger.
Wang Ruixue snorted coldly, "Don't you know why I don't sell it? You failed to borrow grain and still scolded me. I must be mentally ill to sell it to you."
What? The other villagers were very surprised when they heard this!
As soon as they came to their senses, someone stood up for Wang Ruixue.
"Wang Caogen, you guys are going too far."
"That's right, you failed to borrow food and still cursed me, who gave you the courage?"
"We didn't curse, she was the one who slandered us." Wang Caogen retorted with his neck stiff.
"Get out of here now, don't block me, or I'll break your legs."
The other villagers immediately surrounded them, and several villagers fled in fear.
