Chapter 29
"We will go to town tomorrow to buy some fabrics and come back. We need to prepare some clothes for Xie Zhan to leave. It might be winter when he comes back, so we need to prepare some thick clothes."
Clothes, dry food, etc., there were quite a lot of things to prepare. Mingxiu felt a toothache just looking at them.
"With no car to follow, how much can he withstand alone? Mom, if you bring too many things for him, it will be eye-catching. Why don't you just bring two pieces of clothes and dry food, and convert the rest into money, and go out and let him
If you are missing anything, you can buy it yourself, right?"
From a poor family to a wealthy family, even if the Ming family didn't have much money now, for the one hundred taels of silver, Mingxiu had to scrape together a little bit and bring it to Xie Zhan.
Apart from anything else, it must at least allow him to get somewhere without running out of money when he is still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from his destination.
In the end, Xie Zhan left with two pieces of replacement clothes and ten taels of silver. Although it was not much, it was the limit of what the Ming family could afford, and Xie Zhan did not intend it to be too little.
"Don't worry, I'll be back when the first snow falls at the beginning of winter."
Mingxiu nodded slightly. At that time, it was time to buy new year's goods, and he could also start preparing to build a house.
Originally, around twenty taels of silver could build a nice brick house, but Mingxiu thought about the one hundred taels of silver. If she had the money, she might as well make the house better so that she could live comfortably.
Not two days after Xie Zhan left, Ming's father went to the fields to take care of the vegetables. Now the only plants that can be planted are some cold-resistant plants. There are not many things in the fields, and it is easy to take care of them.
But when he came back, his face was extremely ugly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"The vegetables in our fields have all been stripped, and the newly opened acres of land have also been littered with manure."
There is less planting, so the fields can produce less, but there is not much loss, it is just a little disgusting.
Mingxiu felt angry after hearing this, "Who did it?"
"Who knows," Ming's father sighed, "how many people come and go in our place every day? No one is watching over there."
If you are serious about it, you can do it casually and no one will notice it at all.
Mingxiu was angry because she didn't understand why someone would come from her land to cause trouble.
The people in the village are all farmers, and even if they have a grudge against someone, they will definitely not touch the things in their fields. Isn’t this to destroy people’s livelihoods and kill people?
Most of their family's money was given to Xie Zhan, and the remaining money was originally planned to be spent this winter with some money earned in the town. If they were lucky, they could save some.
Now that the things in the field have been destroyed, their family is going to be in dire straits again.
Mingxiu really couldn't understand that although their family's relationship with the villagers was not very good, it definitely did not lead to a deadly feud.
However, at this moment, Wang Daya next door was talking to the woman he had become friends with.
"The Ming family's land was demolished. Do you know about this?"
"Why don't you know? I just saw it when I came here, and someone threw feces on it. It's really miserable."
Although she said she was sympathetic, it would be more credible if there was no gloating in her eyes.
Wang Daya curled her lips and said, "If you ask me, the Ming family deserves it. We are all from the village. Who told his family to only care about their own wealth? If they brought us villagers with them, wouldn't this problem be solved?
?”
"I heard that the village chief went to the Ming family. It seemed that he wanted them to tell us how to raise the land. Will they agree? That silly girl from the Ming family is a miser."
"How dare she disagree! If she is unwilling to do that, we will kick them out of their house! Let's see what they can do!"
Some people are like this. It's obviously someone else's thing. If you give it to them, you should be grateful. If you don't give it to them, it's natural.
But people like Wang Daya think that it is the right thing for the Ming family to help them, and it is a heinous crime not to help them!
Looking at the village chief in front of him, Mingxiu said with ridicule in his eyes, "It seems that the request made by my family made the villagers very dissatisfied. My family's land was all torn down."
"This... every village has a few grains of mouse droppings, isn't it? I'll explain it to my family. It doesn't matter if I tell the villagers. We all remember your family's goodness!"
The village chief couldn't help it, what he did was indeed unethical, but he didn't know who did it!
If he knew it, he would have to find out and teach him a lesson, even for the method of raising land.
Mingxiu hummed, "Look at this, even if we hand over the law to them, they will take it for granted. Otherwise, why would they raise the ground as soon as we give money? You are the village chief. You probably know the laws of our court and don't know how to destroy farmland."
What crime is it?”
When he mentioned giving money, it was as if the Ming family owed them something. Mingxiu felt really disgusted with such a person.
If you want something, you should exchange it for money. The price they offered is one hundred cents, which is already considered a favor price.
If it weren't for the fact that Ming's father and Ming's mother still had feelings for Tubao Village, and Mingxiu also thought that it would be a good thing for her family to have a better relationship with the villagers, she would have refused outright when the village chief came.
I didn’t expect that I would leave room for bad things to happen?
"This... what is going on in our village is not a crime. Don't worry, I, as the village chief, will find out whoever did this and deal with it as I should."
Seeing that the village chief was confused, he could only bite the bullet and deal with the matter first.
Anyway, no one could be found even if they tried. The village chief's words were like a blank check, but they did make Ming's father and Ming's mother feel better.
"This is what you said. If we can't find the person, we will report it to Master Qingtian. I think he will support us people." Mingxiu smiled. She was not a threat. She really thought so.
.
In fact, if it weren't for the arrival of the village chief, she would be on her way to report to the official.
Mingxiu's idea was beyond the comprehension of the village chief. Generally speaking, no matter what happened in the village, as long as there was no life-threatening lawsuit, it would not leave the village. Most of the cases were resolved in the village. Farmers originally had a strong interest in the government.
Instinctively reverent, if you don't bother the great master, you won't bother him.
Even if their own family suffered a big loss, few people would think of reporting it to the official.
The village chief only thought that Mingxiu mentioned this matter on purpose to make him hurry up and find someone. He was unhappy, but at this time he could only coax him.
