Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 196 Don't you want to be a person with a conscience?
Chapter 196 Don't you want to be a person with a conscience?
Just when Gong Qiqi was applying compresses to her hands, Gong Chengliang briefly explained the situation.
After she went to Qingyuan Town, Li San went up the mountain to check the charcoal kiln. On the hillside, he saw a large number of refugees walking toward the village.
Li San rushed down the mountain and distributed the weapons.
Li Si made a move and gathered the men from each family. They all took weapons and went to the entrance of the village to resist the refugees.
When the refugees saw that each of them had a weapon, they did not forcefully break into the village. However, they refused to leave, so they started a fire and settled outside the village, begging for food.
Li San did not agree.
Just arrange a lot of people with weapons to guard the entrance of the village, and they are not allowed to enter the village.
Li Si was on the side again, and someone was patrolling the village to prevent refugees from sneaking into the village from other places.
That's why when Lin Tao came down from the back mountain, she bumped into Li Si leading a patrol.
After understanding the whole situation, Lin Tao was very pleased.
It has to be said that Li San's calmness and Li Si's intelligence complement each other at this time.
This prevented Gongjiazhai from making the same mistake as Wangjiawan.
After Gong Chengliang finished speaking, the interviewer stood up and said: "Village Chief Li! Do you have any humanity? Although their surname is not Gong, they are still human beings! Their demands are not high! They are just looking for a place to commit themselves to!"
"
The people sitting there also had their own opinions.
There are those who support the interviewer, and there are those who support Li San.
Everyone was arguing.
"Ah? How many times have I told her, her surname is Lin! Not Ren!" The person who spoke was still the old man who had trouble hearing.
But this ridiculous statement suddenly made the atmosphere awkward.
Lin Tao, who was sitting not far away, raised her eyebrows and sighed: Hey! This old man was still alive when the village chief was elected!
After a long silence, Gong Chengliang brought the topic back on track.
The interviewer continued: "I know some of them from nearby villages! They are poor people just like us! We all have a conscience, we can't just die without saving them!"
"No! We must not let them enter the village!" Li San said again.
"Village Chief Li, although your family is respected by everyone, you can't waste the lives of others because of your selfishness!"
Listening to the interviewer's aggressive words, Lin Tao coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.
"If you are not selfish, then take out your own food, give it to them, and let them find somewhere else to commit themselves!"
The interviewer's face was gloomy and he didn't answer.
Lin Tao said again: "I'm afraid they want more than just a place to stay! Second Uncle Gong, did they promise you that as long as you let them into the village, not only will they not rob your family of good food, but they will not hurt your family when they leave."
, will you share some of the stolen food with you? Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"If it were me, I would be tempted by this condition! No wonder you worked so hard to speak for them."
The interviewer's eyes were not accurate, and he was wandering around with a guilty conscience: "Ms. Lin, please don't say nonsense if there is no basis or basis!"
Lin Tao took off the handkerchief, stood up slowly, and walked to the interviewer.
"Second Uncle Gong, don't you want to be a conscientious person? How about taking your food and sharing it with them?"
"You...me, my family doesn't have much food to begin with. Even if we are crowded, we can only share very little."
"Oh? So you mean my uncle's family has a lot of food?" Lin Tao turned her attention to one of the old men.
The old man immediately panicked, waving his hands and saying, "How can my family have so much food? It's good if it can survive the winter!"
Lin Tao nodded and looked at the other old man.
Before she could speak, the old man almost shook his head.
"No, no, my family doesn't have much food left!"
So he looked at each other one by one, and everyone he looked at said that there was no extra food to share.
Until Lin Tao looked at the last old man, the old man stood up directly.
He shouted loudly: "I support Village Chief Li! It's not certain whether our own food can survive this cold winter. Where can we get the food to share with them! Just as Village Chief Li said, we must strictly guard the entrance to the village and never let them go."
Enter the village!”
After shouting, except for the deaf old man, several others immediately stood on Li San's side.
Lin Tao turned around and sat back.
My shoes were already soaked after walking all day, so I simply took them off and dried them by the fire in front of me.
At this time, Gong Chengliang took charge of the overall situation and said: "According to our new clan rules, the minority obeys the majority. Then this matter is settled! Village Chief Li is still in charge of the overall situation."
Now, Uncle Gong, who was the interviewer, did not dare to say anything anymore.
When they were leaving, Uncle Gong kept his head down, not knowing whether it was because he was wrong or because he was afraid of her.
After sending those people away, Li San came over and squatted down.
"Mom, don't wear your shoes if they get wet. I'll carry you home."
"Aunt, let Third Brother carry you! I'll help you get your shoes." Gong Qiqi picked up her soaked shoes.
Before Lin Tao could refuse, Li San directly supported her knees with his backhand and lifted her off the stool.
Gong Qiqi carried her shoes, held her back with one hand, and followed her out the door.
Wang Qiuyue came out of the kitchen shed happily.
"Old man, look at our Xiaoqi, she is a perfect match for San'er! I asked from Mrs. Xu that the eldest sister wants to accept Mrs. Zhou as her daughter. When the matter at the entrance of the village is settled, can we mention our family to the eldest sister?
What’s the matter with Xiaoqi?”
"You can't hide the matter between Zhou and Lao San from Xiao Qi. Tell Xiao Qi about it. If she is willing, you can mention it."
Wang Qiuyue nodded, walked to the courtyard gate, and looked at Li San who was walking away. It was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became.
If Xiao Qi can really marry Li San, she will not have to endure hardship for the rest of her life!
When she got home, Gong Qiqi didn't even enter the door, but handed the shoes to Zhou Xiaohe at the door.
He also asked: "Sister Xiaohe, hurry up and get hot water to soak Auntie's feet."
Zhou Xiaohe nodded: "Seventh sister, would you like to come in and sit down?"
"No, it's getting late, I'm going back." After saying that, he glanced at Li San's back and turned to leave.
The women in the Li family courtyard got busy.
Those who raise fire raise fire, those who boil water boil water.
In the main room, Mrs. Xu hurriedly found dry clothes and helped Lin Tao change them.
Lin Tao asked about Li Yi and Li Er.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly replied: "My brother-in-law said that I am not worried about Gong's people, so I asked my uncle and the child's father to go out to patrol the village."
Lin Tao nodded and felt relieved.
There was a knock on the door.
Mrs. Xu took the wet clothes she had changed and went out to open the door. Li San came in with hot porridge.
"Mom, my son has something to tell you."
Lin Tao said yes, and Li Sancai stepped in.
He put the hot porridge in her hand and sat down.
"Mom, what should we do with the people at the entrance of the village?"
Lin Tao almost choked on the porridge in her mouth.
"You are the village chief, shouldn't this be your job to solve?"
"I can't help it."
Li San is indeed still Li San. He talks straightforwardly and sees things straightforwardly!
