Chapter 18: Orphans

The boy's name was Ren Yong, and his father, like most people in Fengtong County, raised chickens for a living and had his own small workshop.

The Ren family has been raising chickens for generations, and when it comes to Ren Yong's father's generation, he has a lot of experience in this work.

In just ten years, it has not only expanded its own workshop several times, but also improved the chicken coop, reconfigured the feed, and raised high-quality chickens with delicious meat and well-proportioned body.

A good product represents a better income, and the Ren family's chicken workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and all over the country is vying to recite it. However, the blessings are incomparable, and the disasters are not one-way, and the Ren family, who is too strong, has been targeted by people with a heart.

Coincidentally, the person who did not allow the Ren family to be big was the one who had a conflict with the two Ruoshui siblings, known as the largest workshop in Fengtong County.

is so arrogant, it must be tough backstage. Ruoshui inquired a little, and learned that the owner of the workshop was named Xu Rangli, who was the younger brother of the seventh concubine of the county lord of Fengtong County. The county magistrate is the most fortunate concubine of the seventh room, and even the brother-in-law named "Concession" but is really a dime a dime has ascended to heaven.

The county magistrate has been an official for several years, and he was diligent before. In addition to planting crops, Fengtong County's sideline business of raising chickens is developing in a good way, and in terms of economic strength, it is even much stronger than the surrounding counties and districts.

But who knows that since the county lord accepted the "red face and troubled water", the wind on the pillow blew through, and the brother-in-law's workshop was together, but other chicken farmers suffered.

Xu Rangli coaxed and frightened, and successively annexed several shops around the workshop, and changed all the huge places into his own chicken coops. If that's all it takes, it's also cost-effective to raise chickens and serve as a landmark building in Fengtong County.

But that Xu Rangli is not a material for raising chickens at all, before he climbed the high branch of the county master, he was a social tumor that was lazy and lazy but ate, drunk, prostituted and gambled.

He didn't dare to fool around by himself, but the "wisdom" looked really crooked.

In the name of the county magistrate, he requisitioned the owners of several nearby chicken workshops for free, forcing them to work in their own workshops.

The so-called peers are light, even if they give money, they may not be willing to do their best, not to mention that the unstoppable concession is to make people contribute in vain.

The result is naturally obvious, the chickens are not all so neatly dead, but most of them are sick and crooked, not fat or long, not as good as ordinary domestic chickens, how can they be sold at a good price.

At this moment, Xu Rangli was not happy, not only drove everyone out, but also smashed all the workshops that people relied on for survival. As for himself, he has found a new group of people to work for day jobs.

In order to keep their own inheritance, these people don't care about making it bad, and they have to be more dedicated to the Xu family's inheritance. But in the farming industry, it is impossible to live without a handful of sick or dead livestock.

The huge chicken workshop, the death of the moon is very normal, but in Xu Rangli's eyes, it is blatantly giving him eye medicine.

Dare to give the county master's brother-in-law eye medicine, then you have it! So a new round of "smashing and grabbing" began......

Not long after this happened, the people of Fengtong County understood. Thus, a massive career change movement began.

Eighty percent of the chicken workshops have closed their doors, some of them have started growing grain, some have started short-term work such as running boats and building houses, and most of the rest have been converted to raising ducks and geese. In the past few months, in the entire Fengtong County, except for Xu Rangli, there was only one chicken workshop left in the Ren family.

The workshop of the Ren family is remote, and it has always been with the well water of the Xu family. Ren Yong's father also heard a little about Xu Rangli's approach, but he was stubborn by nature, and he thought that he was not afraid of shadows, so he didn't care about it.

It's a pity that for his own selfish interests, he can make a sideline business that has been inherited for a hundred years in Fengtong County in a short period of time, how can he let them go to the Ren family.

Ren Yong's father has a strong temperament, so he is naturally resolutely unwilling to give in. Xu Rangli is used to being rampant and domineering, how can he bear the disobedience of others.

You don't listen? Good! Then I'll fight! Hit until you listen!

After a few violent beatings, Ren Yong's father died like this.

What's even more hateful is that there was a life lawsuit under the rule, and the county magistrate who was stunned was still pressed down by his cowardly concubine, and Xu Rangli was even more lawless.

The man died, and there was a woman, and Ren Yong's mother was also called.

Bringing her to her dead husband, Xu Rangli originally wanted to make her afraid and dare not fool at will, but she didn't expect that this woman was also a strong character. As soon as she saw her husband's corpse, she was already stunned, and before Xu Rangli could finish his words, she spat on his face and died on the pillar.

killed two people in one day, and Xu Rangli was still a little worried no matter how shameless he was. He saw that Ren Yong was the only one left in the Ren family, a seven or eight-year-old Huangkou child, and he also lost interest in smashing the Ren family's workshop, so he found two people and pulled the bodies of the Ren family and his wife to the door of Ren's house with a straw mat, without even a word or a dime, leaving Ren Yong to fend for himself.

Poor Ren Yong became an orphan within a day, and he was left alone in the blink of an eye in the warm family of three.

He also cried, but in this deep mountain and dense forest, who can see the crying.

He didn't know the way to Fengtong County, and he didn't know where to go to tell his grievances, so he could only endure his grief, and dug two pits behind the courtyard, and he couldn't even buy a coffin, so he wrapped his father and mother in a straw mat and put it into the ground.

Fortunately, Ren Yong's mother had an insight into her upcoming ending before she was called away. She didn't care whether Ren Yong could understand it or not, so she told Ren Yong what happened to the Ren family, and told her son to live strong no matter what. With his mother's entrustment, although Ren Yong was young, he also ignorantly followed his mother's meaning and worked hard to live.

It's just that in the days to come, it seems to him to be meaningless.

He didn't know why he was born, but he didn't know what it meant to die. The only thing that accompanied him was a group of chickens left by his father, who fed the chickens and caught fish every day, and even let him survive such a young child.

Ren Yong's story was told at the dinner table, and he hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, so this miserable story was about intermittent mess. But this did not prevent Ruoshui from crying silently because of this, even the tall and strong had red circles in his eyes, and his throat seemed to be blocked.
