Chapter 100: Wholeheartedly
[Chapter 100]
It has been almost a month since the People's Army captured Haifeng County, and in the past nearly a month, the changes have been earth-shaking for the residents of Haifeng County.
Li Daniu's family belongs to the lowest level in Haifeng County, they are ordinary people, and they make a living by growing and selling vegetables on weekdays.
Before the People's Army captured Haifeng County, Li Daniu's family had a difficult life, and the people living outside the city always said how good life was in the city, thinking that all the people in the city were living a good life and had no worries about food and clothing, but only Li Daniu's family deeply felt the difficulties of ordinary people living in the city.
The common people living outside the city, at the bottom are those landless tenants, who can only rely on renting landlords or working for landlords to make a living, these tenants have been oppressed and exploited by the landlords, and they are also bullied by the landlords' doglegs.
In good years, they can survive, but in disaster years, tenants are in danger of starvation, and in times of difficulty, they have to sell their children and daughters to survive.
The life of Li Daniu's family living in the city is not much better than that of the tenants outside the city, who make a living by growing and selling vegetables on weekdays, and Li Daniu is most afraid that those old man's subordinates or officials will come to buy vegetables.
It doesn't matter if you buy vegetables, Li Daniu is most afraid that the people who buy vegetables will not give money, at the earliest, someone will buy vegetables without giving money, Li Daniu will shout for the other party to give money, maybe the other party will give Li Daniu a little money for vegetables, and may also give Li Daniu a beating.
After being beaten several times, Li Daniu slowly learned some things, for example, when the official came to buy vegetables, Li Daniu would say compliments, regardless of whether the other party gave money to buy vegetables or not, Li Daniu directly said that he would give it to the other party, and the official was very satisfied with Li Daniu's compliments and would pay, and sometimes he would give more money, but in general, he still didn't pay mostly, so he didn't have to be beaten.
The official has money, but there are bastards in the county, these things are Li Daniu's trouble, bastards don't have money, they never pay when they come to buy vegetables, Li Daniu doesn't sell them vegetables, they will make trouble, and even smash Li Daniu's stall, it's useless to sue the official, the officials don't care about this little thing at all.
has been bullied for a long time, Li Daniu can't wait to use a knife to stab these bastards who bullied him, but he still has a family, killing people pays for his life, and if he dies, how can his family live.
In order to make a living, Li Daniu and his family struggled to live in this county until the People's Army appeared.
Li Daniu still remembers that day, the sound of shouting and shouting and killing appeared in Haifeng County, and the official who was powerful in front of the people in the past was chased and beaten by the people's army.
On that day, the government that never gave the people the masters was gone, and was replaced by the Haifeng County People's Military Government, Li Daniu didn't know what the "People's Military Government" was, but it was similar to the government, but in the next half a month, Li Daniu personally felt the difference between the People's Military Government and the government.
In just a few days, the big families that Li Daniu knew about were all raided by the People's Army, and those bastards who had bullied Li Daniu were also arrested by the People's Army.
A few days later, the staff of the People's Military Government went door-to-door to inform everyone that they could return to normal life and that vegetable sellers like Li Daniu could continue to sell vegetables on the streets.
Li Da Niu is also a little bold, almost the first batch of vegetable sellers who returned to the street to sell vegetables, there are people from the People's Army who come to sell vegetables, Li Da Niu said flattering words as before, those officials still listened to Li Da Niu's flattering words, except for buying vegetables and disdaining to talk to Li Da Niu, but the people of the People's Army were at home with Li Da Niu, and the words were very cordial.
It's not one person, it's everyone, the People's Army is really very different from the previous government, Li Daniu thought, if the People's Army can always rule Haifeng County, how good it would be, then the damn government will never come back.
Half a month after the People's Army captured Haifeng County, an incident happened that made Li Daniu speechless with excitement, the People's Army Government wanted to establish a school in Haifeng County to teach all school-age teenagers to read and write!
As a city person, Li Da Niu can understand the importance of reading and literacy and the status of a scholar than people outside the city, Li Da Niu very much wants his two children to be able to read and write, but the cost of reading and literacy is too high, Li Da Niu is only the lowest level of the people in the city, and he can't afford the cost of a child's reading and literacy.
Unexpectedly, now that the People's Army is teaching its children to read and write for free, how can there be such a good person in the world who still appears in front of Li Daniu.
The People's Army is a thief, Li Daniu knows it very well, but Li Daniu really hopes that the damn government will never come back, and the People's Army can stay in Haifeng County all the time, if it weren't for his age, and his wife and children are there, Li Daniu would have the idea of joining the People's Army.
In order to support the People's Army, Li Daniu now prepares some dishes every day and gives them to the People's Army for free, but the People's Army will pay every time, even if Li Daniu is unwilling, he will send the money to Li Daniu's house, and Li Daniu, who was moved, burst into tears.
"God willing, the People's Army is invincible, we must overthrow the damn government and let all the people live a good life." Li Daniu prayed to God.
Li Daniu's family is only a member of the middle and bottom of Haifeng County, the entire Haifeng County and Haifeng County are loved by the efforts of the People's Army, and the vast majority of ordinary people are united by the People's Army, and the People's Army is supported by the people.
Fighting local tyrants and dividing up the land is only one reason why the People's Army has won the support of the people, but more importantly, the People's Army's every move itself has been recognized by the people these days.
If the People's Army is the same as the government and the army in the past, even if the People's Army divides land among the people, it will not be able to make the people wholeheartedly support the People's Army.
Compared with these ordinary people who have been united by the People's Army, the surviving large families in Haifeng County are still very repulsive to the People's Army.
At the beginning, the People's Army captured the county seat of Haifeng and raided the homes of the big families who did evil, and those who did not do the evil lived in fear for several days, fearing that their homes would also be raided.
In the end, the People's Army did not come to raid the house, but the People's Military Government sent staff to buy the surplus farmland of the large families, and in order to survive, each family took the initiative to sell the farmland, of course, even if they did not sell, they would not be raided, but the People's Army Government would force the purchase.
The farmland is gone, and there are precedents of other large families having their homes raided, and even if the KPA does not do anything to them now, they are still cautious every day, fearing that the KPA will do it to them.
They hope that the official army can come back as soon as possible and exterminate or drive away the people's army, they don't like the current life, they hope to be able to return to the previous life, they are still a big family in the eyes of ordinary people.
