There is a good husband in the crossing house

Looking at the tense group of people in front of him, there are ten people, young and old, among them are two middle-aged men and two middle-aged husbands. These should be two couples.

Then there is another elderly couple with four children, among the four children there are three boys and one elder brother.

When Qi Lan looked at these people, these people were also nervously looking at the little boss in front of them.

"How about Brother Qi, are these people satisfied?"

Shopkeeper Wang finished his work at the moment, and greeted Qi Lan with a smile when he arrived in the backyard.

"Master Wang." Qi Lan stood up and returned the salute, "What I want is someone who can work, but you..."

Qi Lan looked at the people in front of him dumbfounded. These people looked like they were chronically malnourished, and they were all skinny, just like that skinny skeleton. It was hard for Qi Lan to imagine asking such a person to help with work. situation.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't understand what Qi Lan meant, but he and Qi Lan had different ideas: "Brother Qi, this is because your requirements are too high. What you want is that the whole family go to work in your place." , but anyone who can live at home, why would they leave their hometown and go to other places?"

"These two families have no land in their hometown, and they can only work as farm laborers for the landlords and lords. This time, if the landlords and lords really don't give them a way to survive, they wouldn't come all the way to our place."

Qi Lan was a little hesitant after listening to shopkeeper Wang's words, but he forgot about it.

Then shopkeeper Wang explained the situation of the two families. One of the two men was named Li Mu and the other Zhang Da. Li Mu's husband was a little taller named Li Qiu. Ten years old this year, Li Tie, eight years old this year.

Mr. Zhang's husband is called Sun Lin. They have a son and an elder brother. The son is already 12 years old and his name is Zhang Yuan. The younger brother is also ten years old and his name is Zhang Shui'er. The old couple are their father and Ah Mo.

They originally lived in a place far away from Qinghe Town, and the two families knew each other well.

Because the family has no land, they live by working and farming for a landlord. In the past, the landlord would let them keep [-]% of the food as a reward. Although [-]% is small, at least it can keep the whole family from starving to death. This year, he opened his mouth and only gave [-]% of the food.

Doesn't this directly cut off their way of life?Just when the two families were in despair, shopkeeper Wang, no, to be precise, it should be Qiao Mingyue's people who found them and told them about Qi Lan, and the two families were moved at that time.

Then, after Qiao Mingyue's people directly gave them a sum of money to move, they resolutely set out to find Qinghe Town.

After all, whether they go or not, they can directly give money to the moving house, which is enough to prove that they don't care about them at all, and even say that they should go as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they would have to find someone new, so the two families discussed it and set off directly.

And now, when they heard Qi Lan hesitate, the group panicked even more.If Qi Lan didn't keep them, they would have nowhere to go. Now that they have left their home, the money given by that person has been spent, and they can't even go back.

[Plop] With a sound, Zhang Da directly knelt down, followed by a group of people who knelt down, making Qi Lan jump in fright, and before he could react, Zhang Da kowtowed repeatedly: "Master Qi, please stay Let us down, we don't want money. As long as we don't go hungry, please, please."

"Please, please..."

Qi Lan was shocking these people, how could they live such a miserable life, she was frightened by the actions of these people in front of her, she was stunned for a while before waving her hands again and again: "Get up, get up, what are you doing?"

Fortunately, Xiao Fang didn't come today because he wanted to watch the corn planting in the field, otherwise he might be frightened.

I don't know if Qi Lan is too young, or if those people want to make Qi Lan agree with them to stay in this way, they just kowtow all the time, and it seems that Qi Lan didn't hear them get up.

"Shut up! Master Qi told you to get up, didn't you hear me?" At this time, shopkeeper Wang was more aura, and when he shouted in a cold voice, everyone immediately silenced, but still looked at Qi Lan cautiously and nervously.

"Brother Qi, look?" Shopkeeper Wang looked at Qi Lan again. He heard Qi Lan's request before and thought that Qi Lan understood these things, but only found out today that this little brother Qi didn't seem to be satisfied with such a result. So satisfied, at this moment, he didn't know what to do.

Qi Lan did not expect this matter, but what he did not expect was that these farm laborers worked so hard to help others, but they could only get [-]% of the food all year round.

Regarding the world's food production, Qi Lan didn't say it was very clear, but she also got a rough idea.

Every family in the village has seven or eight acres of land. Throughout the year, they dare not even eat food at will. Thinking about the output of these grains, the landlord actually only gives [-]% of the harvest to the farm laborers. Isn't this forcing people to die?

Looking at these people in front of him, although they are all sallow and thin, they still have sound hands and feet, Qi Lan thought about it seriously.

Such a person doesn't have to worry about betrayal, does he?

After thinking about this, Qi Lan straightened his expression, and his gentle demeanor instantly became severe.Even shopkeeper Wang at the side couldn't help but look sideways, thinking that this little brother Qi doesn't seem to be as good-natured as he appears on the surface, and then he heard Qi Lan even speak with a bit of coldness :

"It's okay to let you stay, but I have a few points to ask you to listen carefully. In my place, it is not a problem to have enough food and clothing. There is also a new house for you to live in. If you do well, you will get wages.

But remember, I don't need the kind of lazy people, and I don't need the kind of people who eat inside and outside, understand? "

"Understood, I understand Master Qi." Although Qi Lan's words were harsh, everyone could tell that Qi Lan had left them behind, and they were all pleasantly surprised, as if they were left to work, what a big deal As good as it is.

Seeing this scene, Qi Lan suddenly felt a little sad. He always thought that Qijia Village was already poor enough.

After all, last year, those people were still in a state of not daring to have enough food every day, and not daring to eat more meat, but now, after comparing them, they realized that there were no so-called landlords in Qijia Village.

Because every household has a few acres of land, it is already considered very good.

"Shopkeeper Wang, help get them something to eat. I'll go buy something and take them home after they have eaten."

Since these people are going to be kept, it is necessary to buy some grains, coarse grains, miscellaneous grains and fine grains.

As for the salary, Qi Lan plans to see how to pay it when the time comes.

After all, these people don't seem to be able to work like Wang Shi and Li Sheng, and there are old people and children together.
