But when he heard the voice of the little girl, he followed him out to see what she was doing here.

When I got to the kitchen door, I heard the gluttonous cat asking Ximei to cook rice for her.

Yuan Man saw her father coming over and called out to her father, but he flicked his forehead and scolded her for being a little slippery, and Yuan Man grinned and was not annoyed.

Yuan Dashuo instructed Xi Mei to make more, and everyone ate stewed rice at noon.

Anyway, there is no shortage of money at home now.

Ximei was busy smiling, and Juju also smiled and squinted her eyes, thinking that she would be happy to eat.

After the chicken food was mixed, Qiao Yu was about to carry it to the hillside, and Yuan Dashuo wanted to follow a piece of the way to see how the chickens were doing, but he happened to be told by Wen that a guest was coming.

The father and daughter glanced at each other, and subconsciously thought that it was another streamer.

Wen said that Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian came over.

I can't go away now.

Let Ximei and Ju Ju cook first, and by the way, Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian's share will also be made, Qiao Yu is going to feed the chickens, and Qiao Mu over there spontaneously comes over to accompany him.

Yuan Dashuo told them to check the chicken coop so that it didn't leak rain, knowing that chickens would also catch a cold.

Qiao Mu Qiao Yu and they all smiled and said don't worry, they will do things well.

Yuan Dashuo took his daughter-in-law back to the front yard, and the drizzle stopped at this time.

Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian were unloading the hats and robes in the front yard.

The stone steps under the eaves were already wet.

The two of them stood outside the hall and took off their clothes before they came in and sat down.

It didn't take long to sit down.

When Yuan Man saw the two of them, he smiled and shouted, "Brother Cao, Brother Gao, why are you here?" ”

When Cao Guanwu saw her, he stood up and smiled: "Yo, the girl hasn't seen her for a while and has grown up, and the child is growing up fast, and she has changed for a while." ”

He is always not serious when he speaks.

Gao Tian was really much, and he got up directly and said straight to the point: "We really have something to do here." ”

I don't mean to play here.

Yuan Dashuo hurriedly beckoned them to sit and talk, Wen also smiled and said sit down, and then went to boil water to make tea, Yuan Man also approached to sit down when he saw this.

I'm going to hear something.

It was still High Heaven who spoke, and he indicated what was happening in the town recently.

Yuan Man knew what was going on in the north, so he said that she had heard about it in general.

Gao Tian asked Yuan Man if they knew about the reluctance of the remaining group of victims to go back.

Yuan Man also nodded and replied, "I know this, but why don't they go back?" Isn't the yamen all subsidized? Wouldn't it be nice to go back to your familiar hometown? ”

Cao Guanwu leaned back on the chair lazily and said with a smile: "How can it be so easy to deal with the aftermath, these people have been running all the way and their wives are separated, most of them are left alone, the fields at home are difficult to cultivate, and the way back is still so far, how can you be willing to go back when you look at the prosperity here?" He also said that it was better to be a slave than to be in the north all day worrying about the drought and not being able to survive. ”

As soon as he talked about this, the Yuanman family probably realized why they were here.

Sure enough, Gao Tian responded and said: "Therefore, we have a group of people on hand who are willing to sell themselves into slavery, Guan Wu thought that your family is clearing the wasteland, and the slaves in other farms are sufficient, and there are not enough people, so he thought of coming over and asking if you need it." ”

Yuan Dashuo and his wife have already understood, and it just so happens that their family is indeed short of people.

Yuan Dashuo opened his mouth and asked, "Then how many people do you have on hand?" ”

Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian are still trustworthy, since they dare to come to the door to find a way out for the victims, presumably these people are not bad people and can be used with confidence.

"I still have thirty-two people on hand, most of them are young men, you must know that the older ones can't walk, and the poor health is gone, and the rest are fine except for not eating well but raising them for a few days.

Cao Guanwu directly explained the situation, and now he is serious.

Yuan Man smiled and said, "If it's all good, we don't mind taking it all." ”

If her family wants to continue to develop in the future, there will definitely be a shortage of manpower, and now there is no shortage of money.

So we can afford to support the workforce.

Yuan Dashuo also said after thinking about it: "It's okay to ask for it, and you don't have to sign a deed of sale, just sign a long-term labor contract, at least three years, and they plan to sign it for a few years, including food and housing, and pay wages every month." ”

They are all ordinary people, and Yuan Dashuo and his wife don't want to be the kind of master who exploits people.

Moreover, it is easy to become a slave, and it is very difficult to restore civilian status.

The children born after the slave are also slaves, which is a terrible thing, so it's good to leave a way for others, there is no need to be so desperate.

Cao Guanwu heard that he was really impressed by the Yuan family, and there are really few ordinary people who can maintain their hearts and kindness after making a fortune, and most of them are very angry with a little silver status.

Therefore, how rare is the kindness of the Yuan family, Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian are also willing to be close to their family because of this, the two of them glanced at each other and then smiled and said to Yuan Man: "It would be better if you could really do this, it is a matter of accumulating virtue." ”

Gao Tian also smiled and said: "Those people are not bad, they only came here to survive, they still have the perseverance to get here, after some persuasion from me and Guan Wu, they have also come to their senses, and now they just want to find a stable place." ”

Cao Guanwu also smiled: "You can rest assured, if the people we sent over commit anything, you can come to us, we will take care of it to the end!" ”

These victims would rather die than go back, and this has always had a bad impact on the town's yamen.

And although I thought these victims were ignorant at first, if I thought about it, why do they have to do this? The people who returned their wives and separated themselves are also a group of poor people.

In fact, they can also find a place to house them at will, even if they are abused to death, they can turn a blind eye and treat them as if they don't see it.

It was really Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian who couldn't bear to find a good way out for them.

And are they from other places, or are they disaster victims, not slaves, who would dare to hire them?

To put it mildly, some of them are stimulated and mentally unstable, and even if they are sold into slavery, no one may dare to ask for them, so it is also tricky.

But some of them have good hearts, and they just want to come over and find a way to live.

didn't do anything bad, but was stimulated by some of the people who made a bad reputation, and no one dared to ask for it.

Seeing that they were all about to starve to death, the people of the Yamen naturally couldn't let them go.

Now that there is a place to settle, it has indeed solved a big problem for them.

Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian also thanked the Yuanman family seriously, and admired their kindness in their hearts.
