Mu Xiwen looked back at the refugees who had fallen far behind them with some concern, ragged and thin.

When she was about to step into Xihe Village, she finally said to the people behind her: "I know what you mean, but I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed, this year, in order to save the Baoning Province, our county has paid double the tax.

Everyone is a common person, and I believe you understand what it means to double the tax. In order to scrape together enough food for taxes, many villagers have little surplus food left.

It's been a few days since the flood, and Boryeong province is definitely already rebuilding after the disaster. It is better for you to return to your homeland now, and to have land and land than to be outcasts. ”

That group of refugees, you look at me, I look at you, and finally a man in his thirties came out.

The man stood a few steps away and whispered, "We...... We don't ask for food for nothing, we can do the work for you. Our hometown of Dianzhou was flooded, and the fields, grain, and houses were all gone, and now even if we go back, there is nothing. ”

Mu Xiwen said in a deep voice: "Although Baoning Mansion has been flooded, in order to recall the displaced people, it will definitely give you a lot of convenience, and maybe you will be exempted from taxes for a few years." Staying in Anyang County has no land and no soil, are you sure? ”

The man hesitated, but finally nodded affirmatively and said, "The magistrate of Anyang County will definitely settle us too, and we can also get the foundation and fields if we stay here." ”

Mu Xiwen glanced at the man with some surprise, he could resist the temptation and resolutely take these refugees to stay in Anyang County, it seems that he is also a person with great ideas and prestige.

She pondered for a while, so she could only take a step back and say, "It's okay to follow us back, but you all have to move to Zhaozhuang Village, where there is just a shortage of people." You go and settle down today, and tomorrow you will send a representative to go with me to Gong Zhixian and ask him to talk about your resettlement. ”

The man nodded excitedly, and the group of refugees let out a burst of cheers.

The group of refugees temporarily followed the people of Zhaozhuang Village to Zhaozhuang Village, Mu Xiwen looked at their distant backs, and couldn't help but whisper to Mu Fuyang: "Tomorrow I will take them to the county, and you will continue to arrange personnel to patrol in the village." ”

Mu Fuyang was stunned for a moment, but he had the advantage of knowing how many catties and taels he had.

After understanding that Sister Arwen is much smarter and more powerful than himself, even if he sometimes doesn't understand the other party's intentions, he will obey her orders as soon as possible.

"Okay."

Mu Xiwen let out a breath of turbidity, 444 did not give her settlement points, indicating that this task is far from over.

The floods have brought a series of dangers, and they are just beginning.

After expressing their gratitude to Mu Xiwen, the villagers scattered and returned home. They all understood that if it weren't for Mu Xiwen's arrangement this time, I am afraid that their taxes and grain would be robbed, and they would also become homeless at that time.

After separating from Zhou Changhe and Wei Ziyin, Mu Xiwen took Mu Fuyang and Mu Hai back to Mu's house. Before she could enter the courtyard, she heard Wang's irrepressible rough laughter.

？

A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and she hurriedly stepped into the courtyard a few steps, and at a glance saw several strangers in the hall.

A sturdy man about the same age as her father, a woman slightly older than her mother, three young men, and a woman a year older than her.

The woman's face was delicate, but the gaze that looked at her was unconcealed malice. The eyes of several others were also full of greed.

Mu Xiwen only felt inexplicable, who are these people, dare to stare at her when she goes to her house to fight the autumn wind, she is sick.

She was not used to this person's stinky temper, so she asked directly: "Grandma, why don't I know that my family still has relatives who are beggars?" ”

Wang's originally smiling face stiffened, and he was about to lose his temper. But I don't know what she thought of, she actually suppressed her angry scolding, and said good-naturedly: "It's not big or small, this is your second aunt's family." Their family was in Fuyuan County, and they suffered and came to join us. ”

Mu Xiwen was surprised, Wang's temper was so picky, he would be kind to the poor relatives who fought the autumn wind?

"This is the little calamity...... Oh, the third uncle's sister, right? I haven't seen each other for many years, but I've changed a lot, and I don't know my cousin anymore. ”

The delicate woman stepped forward with a smirk to greet her, and the instinctive blurt out of the title made the rest of the Mu family feel uneasy.

As the head of the family, Mu Shan took the initiative to stand up and say: "Okay, second sister, you have suffered, everyone is a family, there must be a place for you to eat and sleep in this house." You should rest at home first, but there are not many empty rooms, so you may have to squeeze in a bit. ”

Then he stared at Mu Qiaoniang with a warning in his eyes, "The third child is now the head of the village, you should pay attention to what you say, don't let others despise my Mu family inside and out." ”

Mu Qiaoniang's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, the most unpromising younger brother turned out to be the right one. She immediately greeted her with a smile, "Oh, I know that the third brother is the most capable, and sure enough, this is all right." ”

"Okay, okay, boss, you take a few of your nephews down to rest, and I'll talk to Qiao Niang and Hui Niang." Wang waved his hand, and the others could only retreat.

Mu Xiwen turned his head and saw Liu Huiniang's provocative gaze.

Damn the sand coins.

She turned nobly and walked out of the hall.

When she came to Zhao's room, Zhao asked her about today's grain with concern.

"Rest assured, everything is fine. Mother, what's going on with that second aunt? ”

Zhao sighed softly, "It's normal that you don't know her, she hasn't been back for seven or eight years." It turns out that in addition to the eldest brother, your grandmother hurts your second aunt the most, and she doesn't have to work in the family. Later, she married in the next county, and her husband's business slowly grew, so they moved to the county seat and never came back. ”

Mu Xiwen's expression was strange, "I haven't come back for so many years, and I only came back this time after suffering, so why is my grandmother so happy?" ”

"After all, it is the child whose milk hurts the most, and it is normal for her to be happy when she suddenly comes back from a disaster."

Mu Xiwen pursed her mouth, "It's just that it will coax people, and a few good words will make grandma dizzy." ”

"You kid, how do you arrange the elders." Zhao made a gesture to knock her on the head, "Be polite, it's your second aunt's family after all." ”

In the room, Wang was holding Mu Qiaoniang and Liu Huiniang's hands, and his dry eyes were full of tears.

"Second sister, why haven't you come back for so many years? Let me see, they're all thin. ”

Mu Qiaoniang also wiped her non-existent tears, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and whimpered and said, "A-Niang, I miss you too." Business has been hard over the years, and it seems that we have moved to the county to be beautiful, but who knows the actual hardship. I don't know how many times more expensive the house is than in the village, and I have to spend money to buy vegetables and rice, and I can't wait to break a penny in half.

I've been thinking about earning money to give Ah Niang a gold bracelet to let you have a look. I haven't made any money over the years, but I've posted it upside down, and I don't have the face to come back to see you! ”

Speaking of emotion, he also hammered his leg a few times, looking like he was in pain.
