Chapter 428 How can you not know?
mi and finally found the Zong family after asking for directions. 。At the thought of soon getting my hands on those five taels of silver, my mood finally brightened a bit. When I entered the house, I...The next morning, the entire Wild Village was in an uproar because of a piece of news.
"Really The village head said we can go to their house to receive grain and seeds" a woman exclaimed in surprise.
"It's true, it's true! Village Head Wang invited several elders over this morning and they are now in the courtyard weighing household members and distributing grain for planting. My husband was even called to help!"
The woman speaking was also very excited. She had lived in the village her whole life, and this was the first time she had encountered such a good fortune.
"Thank goodness, heaven finally opened its eyes!"
At this time, Song Changhe supported his mother and walked past the two of them. "There's no use thanking heaven, it's Sister-in-law Jinxiu who provided the seeds for planting, you should be thanking her."
After finishing his words, Song Changhe continued to support his mother towards the village head's house. Since everyone in the village was getting a share, he naturally had to go and collect his as well.
Although his father is gone, he left two mu of thin farmland for the family. During the day, he works at Zongyu's house, and in the evening, even if he doesn't sleep, he will plant the land.
It's not like we can rely on our wealthy sister-in-law and her family to support us for the rest of our lives, is it
Moreover, her body is getting better day by day. When she has free time, she can even go to the fields and clear the weeds.
Two women smiled without speaking, waiting until Song Changhe and his son were far away before whispering to each other in hushed tones.
“Strange, didn't Old Wu say before that Wang Village Head's seed grain came from their family”
Now their family can use the well to draw water. If they hadn't been given grain to plant, Village Head Wang definitely wouldn't have agreed.
She still thought this grain was really from Old Master Zong's family, so she thanked Old Madam Wu for half a day. Listening to her brag, it almost made her sick.
Love is not it.
"Yeah, I heard about it too. Let's go see what's going on."
Upon arriving at the village head Wang's doorstep, we found that the place was already packed with villagers, so crowded that there was no room to move. Everyone craned their necks to peek into the courtyard.
There, sack after sack of grain seeds, but they were the entire village's hope for survival.
"Village chief, when are we going to start planting the seeds"
"Hey, no need to rush. Village Head Wang said we can start collecting seeds after the weighing is done."
"Each household can only receive one bag. It's no use crowding here now, the weight is divided according to the number of people in each household."
Zongping Kang hid behind the crowd and secretly followed the queue.
Of course, he wouldn't miss out on such a great opportunity to take advantage.
After a while, Wang, the village head, finally propped up the table and began to officially distribute grain. “Don’t crowd, each household only needs one person to come here and line up,” he said.
"Your whole family coming here won't make a difference. We've already allocated the grain according to each household's population. Just send one person to collect it."
As soon as people heard this, they started laughing and forming teams. Those who didn't have to queue all stood on the other side.
At the beginning, things were going pretty well. Everyone knew this was a free handout, so no one dared to say anything for fear of angering the village head and having their grain seeds taken back.
But there were one or two who didn't have eyes, when it was Zongping Kang's turn in line, he instinctively still knew to cover the lower half of his face with a piece of cloth.
When Zongping got the bag of two things, he instinctively picked it up and weighed it in his hand.
The kid in charge of registration kept asking repeatedly, “Hey, who are you from What’s your name”
How can you just take the seeds without a word These are all accounted for.
Sōhei's dissatisfaction with the meager grain in his hand caused him to become angry first. He impulsively ripped off his mask.
"It's your grandpa me!"
"You little brat, what do you mean by giving me such a small bag of seeds Are you taking advantage of our family because no one is here to stop you"
"Isn't it based on the number of people in each household Why is my bag so small"
The kid in charge of keeping records was indeed quite young. He was so scared by Zong Pingkang’s bullying that he stammered and couldn't speak.
"Wang, Village Head Wang told me that there is no grain ration for your clan."
Zongping Kang was already angry, suspecting these people looked down on him and deliberately deducted their family's grain seeds. Now that he heard this, he was furious.
"Well now, you're finally telling the truth, aren't you"
He began to make a ruckus, banging on the table and shouting, "Is there any justice left! Our clan isn't just some random village family! Why don't we get our share of the grain"
Song Changhe stepped forward, "Why doesn't your family have a share Is Grandpa Zong hiding something"
"This kind of grain was given to the village by Sister-in-law Jinxiu."ver!""This five hundred and fifty taels is all the silver you have, spend it all on medicine. How will you get home"The fat businessman's eyes were already bloodshot, "I can't stop now that I've gotte...
