After rebirth, the regent did whatever he wanted to her
Chapter 453: Inviting the Governor
"Old lady, you're awake!"
Uncle Li shouted excitedly.
Feng Qi then took back the silver needle and wanted to write a prescription, but he was stumped for a moment. The furnishings in the room were almost clear at a glance. Besides, they couldn't even eat, so how could they have paper and pen? Even if they were given the prescription, they probably couldn't afford the medicine.
"Old man, please get some food for Auntie first. I'll have someone bring the medicine over later."
Feng Qi sighed.
"Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady! But, the money for the medicine..."
Uncle Li's face suddenly became awkward. He couldn't even take out a penny now.
"Let's wait until Auntie recovers."
Feng Qi waved his hand and said.
Uncle Li was so excited that he kept expressing his gratitude and was even about to kneel down, "No, Uncle Li, we have to go first." Feng Qi quickly supported him.
After leaving Uncle Li's house, Feng Qi said, "Jiang Lin, go and invite the governor here, and let him see with his own eyes what kind of life the people here live!"
Jiang Lin was a little surprised. He thought it would be enough to find the prefect, but he didn't expect that he would have to find the governor as well.
But he didn't dare to object. He turned around and left after receiving the order.
Chen Dashan: Oh my God, the Governor. He must have heard it right. It was the Governor. The highest official he had ever seen in his life was a village headman. He had never even seen a county magistrate, let alone a Governor.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the stunned man, Xiao Qianxuan walked up and waved his hand in front of him.
"Oh, oh, let's go."
Chen Dashan came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly, but he was more curious about their identities. Since the governor said to invite them, they must be not ordinary people!
Feng Qi knew what he was thinking, but said nothing, and soon they returned to the village chief's house.
At this time, many people gathered in the village chief's house. In the middle of the yard was a relatively clean-looking wooden table with a few plates of vegetables on it. There were seven or eight stools of different shapes placed around it.
"Girl, you have come from afar, and we don't have anything good to treat you, so we just made some simple dishes. Please don't mind."
The village chief came over and said nervously.
He knew that the food, clothing and daily necessities of these people in front of him, even if they had left over, were many times better than what they had prepared.
But this is already the best meal their village can offer.
"Thank you, village chief. We are hungry too. Thanks for your help."
After Feng Qi finished speaking, he walked towards the table first.
"Village Chief, let's go together!"
Coming to the table, Feng Qi turned around and said with a smile.
As the host, the village chief did not refuse, but was very grateful to Feng Qi in his heart. He thought she would dislike him, but unexpectedly, not only did she not dislike him, she also took the initiative to invite him.
A smile gradually appeared on the village chief's face.
"You all should go back first and come back after dinner!"
The village chief said loudly to the villagers in the yard that it was not that he did not want to keep them, but that there was no extra food here. Today's table was put together by the villagers with various pieces.
Everyone didn't waste any time, exchanged a few simple polite words and left.
At the dinner table, Si Xuan sat between Feng Qi and the village chief, Qi Qingluo sat next to Feng Qi, followed by Xiao Qianxuan, Situ Ze, Anying, and Chen Dashan.
Eight people sat in a circle around the table.
The village chief glanced at the man sitting next to him and became a little nervous for some reason.
Not to mention Chen Dashan, after knowing that their identities were not simple, he didn't dare to speak casually.
"Everyone, start eating."
Feng Qi looked at everyone, picked up a piece of vegetable that he couldn't name with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Then Si Xuan also picked up some food with chopsticks. The moment he put it in his mouth, his whole mouth was filled with a strong bitterness. He slightly tilted his head to glance at Feng Qi, who had an expressionless face, and started eating as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, the others also picked up their chopsticks and put the food into their mouths. As expected, their faces changed and their brows were twisted into knots.
They are all shouting in their hearts, it’s so miserable!
Feng Qi tasted almost every dish, and as expected, the taste was not very good. Then she picked up a steamed bun made of vegetables and cornmeal, broke it in half and gave half to Si Xuan.
I took a bite, and even after chewing it for a long time, my throat still felt a little sore when I swallowed it.
Feng Qi looked at everyone's ugly faces and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and looked at the village chief, "Village chief, can everyone eat such a meal now?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "Before, the villagers could still fill their stomachs more or less, but now...sigh, they only have one bite to eat in several days, and they are just not starving to death!"
"Last year, there was going to be a war, and the higher-ups said they wanted to collect taxes, so they sent people to go door to door and took away most of the food that the villagers needed for the winter. Before the New Year, they said we had to pay tribute for the New Year, and they came to plunder again. After the New Year this year, they said we had to pay taxes again...Alas!"
"As a result, every household has run out of seeds for spring planting!"
“So everyone sold everything they could and went to the town to exchange it for seeds.”
"But God is unkind to us. We are hit by a severe drought and the harvest is poor. But we can get through it."
"Who would have thought that the villagers would come again before they even had a bite of the newly harvested food?"
The village chief's eyes were red and his voice became choked with sobs, "They won't leave us any chance to survive!"
"Uncle."
Chen Dashan's eyes also turned red when he heard this. In the past, he had tried to snatch food from the officials and was severely beaten by them.
When Xiao Qianxuan heard this, he slammed the table in anger and said, "These dog officials are simply crazy!"
"Don't worry, village chief. We will help the people get redress for the grievances they have suffered."
Feng Qi spoke lightly.
"Girl, as long as I can give them enough to eat, I'm willing to die!"
Hearing this, the village chief stood up excitedly and was about to kneel down in front of Feng Qi.
"Village leader, it's not appropriate for you to kneel before her at your age."
Si Xuan held the village chief's arm with his hand and spoke.
village head:"?"
Then who should I kneel to?
Feng Qi: “?”
When an old man kneels down to beg you, how can you say that he is old? You can't even say a word.
"You're welcome, village chief. This is also our responsibility!"
Feng Qi said softly.
After hearing her say this, the village chief became even more confused. He didn't understand how this became her responsibility!
But he didn't dare to ask, because the aura of the man who had just helped him was somewhat scary.
"Shadow, go get our dry food from the car and distribute it to the folks here."
Feng Qi knew very well that those people who were just driven away by the village chief were not going home to eat, and where could they get food to eat? It was just an excuse to get rid of them.
I don’t know how many families contributed to this table of dishes. These can be considered the lives of the villagers!
The village chief was about to say no, but was frightened by Si Xuan's look and shut up.
