Chapter 82 Reception of Refugees
Thinking of this, she resolutely stood up and contradicted Mu Xiwen: "Awen, I think they are quite pitiful, they just want to stay for a while, and the villagers can also make a little money through this." Everyone is mutually beneficial, so why not?
A tael of silver may not be much to you, but there are indeed many villagers who are in dire need of it. After paying taxes, every family tightens their belts to get by, and this money can undoubtedly alleviate everyone's difficulties. ”
"Yes, Miss Arwen, just keep them eating and sleeping, my family really needs this money."
"My family too, I have spent a lot of money on taxes, and my mother is still waiting for money to buy medicine."
Many people were originally moved, but based on Mu Xiwen's reputation now, they didn't dare to object. As soon as Wang Peiyun stood up to refute, they immediately followed in solidarity with her.
Mu Xiwen looked around patiently, most of the opponents were from Donghe Village, and she said to Wang Peiyun seriously: "Miss Peiyun, you shouldn't be the kind of person who only looks at the small profits in front of you.
There are too many refugees in this group, and most of them are young and middle-aged, and the proportion of old and weak women and children is too small, and it is not quite right at first glance. For the sake of the safety of the entire village, I will never allow them to enter Xihe Village to threaten my family. ”
Wang Peiyun smiled calmly, "There were already a lot of hardships on the way to escape, isn't it normal for the number of old, weak, women and children to be scarce?" And there are so many men in our village, and we are their saviors, they will definitely not have two hearts. Why do you think so much of these miserable people? ”
"No way!" Mu Xiwen looked at Mu Yue and said solemnly: "Daddy, it's really too dangerous to let so many refugees into the village. They could have moved into Zhaozhuang Village like those refugees a few days ago. ”
"Everyone is a poor family, Awen, do you have to be so ruthless? If everyone is as cold-blooded as you, if Anyang County was flooded in the first place, then everyone fled to other villages, and I am afraid that they will also be expelled. ”
These words undoubtedly resonated with a lot, and more people in Donghe Village whispered their support for Wang Peiyunlai.
Wang Peiyun covered his eyes and smiled lightly, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Since you resolutely disagree with these refugees entering your village, it is better to manage Dongxihe Village separately."
Originally, the two villages had their own districts, but they were later merged. Now that we have a difference in ideas, it is better to be the same as before, Donghe Village will choose Lizheng again, and Xihe Village will be divided into two. ”
As soon as these words came out, both the silent people of Xihe Village and the people of Donghe Village who held opposing opinions instantly fell silent.
East and West River Village divided in two?
In the past few decades in Hecun, there have indeed been frequent disputes between the two villages, and many people have scolded for dividing the village. But now that everything is getting better and better, are they really going to divide the village?
Mu Xiwen sneered, and instantly understood what Wang Peiyun was thinking.
"Gong Zhixian is your godfather, he will definitely agree to your arrangement. Let me just say that it is absolutely not safe to let these refugees into the village. If you are still stubborn and choose to divide the villages to take them in, then I will dig a trench where the two villages are connected. I don't trust them. ”
The people of Donghe Village were still hesitating and hesitating, and the Wang family couldn't hold back the ecstasy in their hearts, and hurriedly beckoned the group of refugees into Donghe Village.
"Come with me, and I'll arrange for you to live in someone's house."
When the people of Donghe Village saw Wang Datian say this, they were afraid that their family would lose this opportunity to make money, so they hurriedly followed him and walked back.
"Uncle Datian, my family, remember my family, my family can live at least three people!"
"I can live more people in my house, I can live five people in my house!"
Wang Datian felt the long-lost taste of the stars holding the moon, and his heart was very happy.
Wang Peiyun showed a faintly smug smile, "Awen, tomorrow I will go to the county to find my godfather and tell him about dividing the village." ”
Of course, not all of the more than 100 refugees chose to enter Donghe Village, and more than 30 people chose to go to Zhaozhuang Village, all of whom brought their families with them.
Mu Xiwen was a little angry and helpless in his heart. The refugees obviously have problems, but the villagers are willing to gamble for a silver tael.
But she has no position to complain about them, there is no way, a tael of silver is too attractive to ordinary farmers, not to mention that these villagers have just been squeezed by double taxes.
Therefore, she could only lament and instruct Mu Fuyang, "Organize all the young people in the village and patrol the village in pairs." Once you find any accidents, immediately light a fire to warn. ”
"Okay."
The next day, as Mu Xiwen expected, Gong Qi agreed to Wang Peiyun's proposal to divide the village without saying a word, and directly appointed Wang Datian, the head of Donghe Village.
Since then, Donghe Village and Xihe Village have been separated, and the two villages have really become independent villages.
Yang Guang sat in the room and watched coldly as the other Donghe villagers were enthusiastically distributing the residence rights of the group of refugees.
"Photon, won't our family take in a refugee?" Inside the house, his mother asked in a low voice.
"No, I agree with Miss Arwen that there is something wrong with this group of refugees."
His mother was a little panicked, and coughed a few times anxiously, "Then, do you want to talk to Miss Peiyun?" ”
Yang Guang frowned, although he felt useless, he still went to find Wang Peiyun.
Unexpectedly, Wang Peiyun was very calm, but comforted him: "Godfather knows that Donghe Village has taken in a group of refugees and rewarded us, and each family can get one or two pieces of silver." And those refugees also know that Lord Zhixian is my godfather, and they don't dare to mess around, don't worry. ”
When she said this, Wang Peiyun did not avoid the leader of the refugee group living in her home, or she deliberately said it to the man.
The man smiled indifferently, "We're just looking for a place to live temporarily, you are all our benefactors, and you have something to do with Gong Zhi County, we don't dare to cause trouble after eating the bear's heart and leopard gall." ”
Wang Peiyun smiled with satisfaction, but Yang Guang looked at the disdainful cold light in the man's eyes when he spoke, but he couldn't let go of his heart.
For this reason, he quietly came to Xihe Village to find Mu Xiwen.
Walking to the junction of East and West River Villages, a deep ravine has been dug here.
A villager from Xihe Village was patrolling the border, and when he saw him, he said with some indignation: "Yang Guang, what are you Donghe Village people doing here?" ”
"Da Jiang, I have something to do with Miss Arwen, you let me go."
The one named Da Jiang only wrote about the relocation of the angry village, and seeing that the panic on Yang Guang's face did not seem to be fake, he could only reluctantly put down the longboard and let him cross the ravine.
Seeing Mu Xiwen, Yang Guang said straight to the point: "Miss Awen, I also suspect that there is something wrong with that group of refugees. Especially the one named Ji Kang who took the lead, he looked at it and saw blood. If they really make trouble and become neighbors with such people, Miss Arwen must not be at ease. ”
