As the days passed, the weather gradually warmed up, and the ice in the river finally began to melt, and as the river began to slip normally, the water that kept gushing out of the embankment slowly returned to the river.

But even then, the flooded villages and fields will not be exposed for a while, and the refugees will remain homeless and have nowhere to go.

At this time, the tax grain retained in the county and the grain donated by the wealthy households have also been consumed, and there is still no news about the disaster relief grain.

Shen Jingcheng saw that it was not a way to ask the rich to donate food, so he directly and quietly let people spread a message.

As long as they have the strength and willingness to work, they can go there to earn food, maybe the food earned by one person can still feed the family, and no matter how poor it is, it will not starve to death, so it is a way to live.

If you are interested, you can go to the Gujia grain shop in the county to ask for it, and if you can't, you can go to Qingshan County.

And as some people came to the Gu family's grain shop to inquire, Gu Jin also appeared in the grain shop, and at the same time, there were a few more servants at the door of the grain shop.

Gu Jin directly said the requirements of Qingshan County, if anyone wants to go to Shenjia Village in Qingshan County to work, they can. The Gujia Grain Store is responsible for sending people to Qingshan County, taking care of food and housing, and each person can distribute one liter of grain per day.

This one liter of grain a day can be used by their family members, who are not allowed to go to Qingshan County, to receive the food for the corresponding number of days of work on the 10th, 20th, and 30th days of each month on the basis of this person's household receipt.

Of course, this has to be done by the person who works in the Gujia grain shop to sign and draw a pledge, if the person does not sign and draw, the grain can be picked up by himself in the place where he is working, and no one in Yuhe County can take it.

As soon as such conditions were announced, the refugees were in an uproar.

In other words, they travel thousands of miles to work, so they don't have to take their families with them, and their families can get the food they deserve here.

To be honest, one liter of food a day is not much, but it will never starve to death, right? It would be better if there were many young and strong people in the family, not only would they be able to eat where they worked, but the food they earned would definitely feed the families who stayed here.

Of course, some people think this regulation is very good, some people think that this regulation is not good, and some people even wonder if their county magistrate and wife want to treat them as slaves when they get so many people over.

For those people's doubts, Gu Jin didn't respond to anything, only one sentence.

It's all voluntary, if you love to go, you will go, and if you don't like to go, you won't go.

Anyway, those who don't go have to leave Yuhe County, and there is no food here for them to eat.

Gu Jin's attitude made the skeptical even more suspicious, and he didn't even have an explanation, obviously he was tired.

Those who do not doubt have become more and more firm in their faith. After all, if it was really like what those skeptical people said, then Gu Jin still had to say good things and lie to Qingshan County, how could his attitude be so perfunctory?

As a result, the refugees were divided into two groups, one group immediately took the burden and left with the family, while the other group began to sign up in a hurry, and of course there were some who hesitated to wait and see.

For these people, Gu Jin also gave a time limit.

Three days, after three days, the registration is over, and the refugees who should go to Qingshan County will go to Qingshan County, and those who should leave will leave immediately

Want to sign up after missing these three days? Sorry, no.

If you want to go to Qingshan County, go by yourself, no one will show you the way.

And even if you go, your family can't get food in the Gu family's shop in Yuhe County.

Do you want to give food to your family? Figure it out yourself, the Gu family grain store is not responsible.

As soon as a few rules came out, some of them hesitated but wanted to fight for a way to survive and signed up, while those who felt that freedom was more important than living left Yuhe County with those who doubted.

In less than three days, the people who should have signed up have basically finished registering, and Gu Jin fulfilled his promise and waited in the shop until the evening of the third day.

Now that the refugees outside the city have left, there is nothing to do in the Yali of Shen Jingcheng County, so they will come over to accompany Gu Jin after they get off duty, and by the way, let the officials and shopkeepers who are guarding the grain shop go back to rest.

These days are very busy, and these people are also very tired.

It wasn't until it was getting dark and the two saw that no one had come, so they began to pack up the booklet of the refugees and prepare to go back to the county office.

And just as the two of them were packing up the booklet and preparing to close the door, a person suddenly sneaked in from the shop, a woman wearing patched clothes, and holding a little boy of three or four years old in her arms.

Gu Jin was stunned when he saw this woman, this person was none other than the strange woman who was arguing with Song Lao Er and Mrs. Song on the street that day.

She subconsciously glanced at Shen Jingcheng, why did this person come, and he still looked like a thief.

"Husband, ma'am." The woman didn't dare to look at Shen Jingcheng, her eyes subconsciously fell on Gu Jin, and she asked a little eagerly: "Can you still sign up to go to Qingshan County?" ”

Gu Jin subconsciously looked at Shen Jingcheng, Shen Jingcheng smiled at her slightly, and let her do what she wanted.

Gu Jin asked the woman with a suspicious face: "You want to sign up?" ”

"Hmm." The woman nodded hurriedly.

"With this child?" Gu Jin asked again.

"Can't you?" The woman asked with some trepidation.

"Then do you want to pick up your own food in Qingshan County, or let your family get it from the grain shop here?" Gu Jin didn't answer her question, and continued to ask again.

"Take it yourself, I'll take it yourself." The woman hurriedly said.

"What about your family?" Gu Jinwen meant something.

"We split up, we split up a few years ago, and after I had this child, I separated from them." The woman was very anxious to get rid of the relationship with the Song family: "They are not my family now, I am free." ”

She was really afraid, afraid that Gu Jin would give the food she had earned through her hard work to the Song family.

"Separated? Now a free body? Gu Jin was very surprised.

The family that eats people and doesn't spit out bones will so easily allow a person who still has use value to split up?

"Yes, I coerced the family with my children." Seeing that Gu Jin didn't seem to believe it, the woman hurriedly explained: "They are all very ruthless, if I don't have a child in my belly, I will always be suppressed by that family, because of this child, I used my name as a nominal man who died young." ”

Somehow? She always felt that if she didn't clarify her relationship with the Song family, the wife of the county lord didn't seem to let her sign up to leave. And those things about her and the Song family are not a secret in the village, and there is nothing to hide.

Gu Jin didn't expect this stubble, and after being stunned for a while, he asked her, "Then you...... Don't you want to have anything to do with the Song family anymore? ”

"I don't want to." The woman shook her head, her eyes full of bitterness: "Since I worked hard for that man to be admitted to Tongsheng, but that man married someone else, I don't feel that I owe anything to the Song family?" Moreover, I don't want my son to have such a father, and I don't want my son to be a cow and a horse for that pair of men and women for the rest of his life. ”

Gu Jin was silent when she heard this, and the woman thought that Gu Jin was unwilling to ask for herself, and just wondered if she could beg her, but she suddenly smiled when she saw her.
