Chapter 1758: Villagers migrate, eating in and out
Su Mingzhe returned home and learned from Alan that only Mr. Gen was left in Sister Gen's family next door, and the fishing village had been moved out of Liangjie Mountain. He immediately said with an indifferent expression:
"It's okay if the fishing village is gone."
"But...there are exorbitant taxes, corrupt officials, and evil spirits outside..."
Alan wanted to argue with the man using the words his elders used to scare him when he was a child, saying that he was not happy for the fishing village to be swallowed up by the Qinghe Kingdom.
Su Mingzhe waited for the woman to finish speaking, then smiled lightly and asked:
"Alan, the problems you mentioned do exist, but have we encountered them since our family came out? And are the villagers really safe if they stay in the fishing village?"
"Um?"
Alan looked at the man incomprehensively:
"Brother, we have only been out for a few days. After some time..."
Seeing that the woman was still stubborn, Su Mingzhe could only sigh and persuade:
"Alan, you have to remember that the reason why the fishing village exists is because the ancestors of the fishing village believed in a saying: The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage. This is not the case with humanity. If there is not enough damage, there is more than enough. How do you understand this sentence?
"
"This sentence is telling us that the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak!"
"The ancestors of the fishing village knew that they were being squeezed by the powerful and unable to resist, so they had no choice but to hide in the Two Boundaries Mountains in order to survive."
"And we are not the ancestors of the fishing village, at least I am not."
"And the fishing villages now are no longer the fishing villages they used to be."
"So, as current events change, it is not necessarily a bad thing for everyone to leave the fishing village!"
…
Alan didn't understand the man's words, so he naturally didn't know how to refute them.
In desperation, she asked another question:
"Brother, when you heard what happened to Sister Gen's family just now, your expression was so cold. Aren't you sad at all?"
In Alan's view, her family and Sister Gen's family are neighbors, and the two families have always had a good relationship. She has also been taken care of by Sister Gen since she was a child.
Now, Mrs. Gen's family has been devoured by the river demon, and only Mr. Gen is left alive. From her point of view, such a miserable thing makes everyone sad and sheds tears.
However, my man was extremely indifferent, with no sad expression on his face.
Faced with the woman's accusation, Su Mingzhe directly refuted:
"Alan, how do you know that I'm not sad?"
…
For Su Mingzhe, the little girl Changsheng was the one he had watched since childhood.
Maybe he wouldn't feel bad about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Changgen.
However, Su Mingzhe will definitely be a little sad about the death of the little girl Changsheng.
However, Chang Gen's parents committed a sin and unjustly killed Sha Monk in his previous life, and wanted to pay for their lives with their own lives. This was something that no one could stop.
After the death of Chang Gen's parents, if Chang Sheng survives, he will follow the villagers to migrate to Qinghe Country.
When the villagers first arrived in Qinghe Country, they might have taken care of Grandpa Gen, Grandpa Changsheng and their grandchildren for the sake of their old neighborly relationship.
However, as time went by, everyone began to be busy with their own lives, Gen Ye got old, and the fate of the little girl Chang Sheng was doomed.
According to the characteristics of this era, those who live forever without a father or mother are most likely to be sold to wealthy businessmen and powerful families as slaves.
Of course, there is still some possibility that they were sold into brothels.
There is only a slim possibility of marrying a well-matched villager and becoming a little daughter-in-law who has no support from her natal family and will be bullied by her mother-in-law.
Su Mingzhe didn't want to tell Alando about the encounters he might encounter in the future if he didn't die.
Because, at this moment, Alan still believed in the simple emotions between the villagers and would not believe that everyone would drift apart in the future.
This means that the two sides have different visions, different patterns, and different perspectives on problems, and it is difficult for both parties to reach a consensus of opinion.
…
In movies and TV dramas, when male and female protagonists encounter situations where they have different opinions, they will frantically present facts and reason to make the other party accept their point of view.
Su Mingzhe handles this kind of problem much more simply and crudely.
Let time speak for everything.
If a woman doesn't agree, then just don't agree.
You can't just let a woman do whatever she wants just because she gets emotional, right?
Are you having trouble getting through life at home?
…
Villagers were moved out very quickly.
The reason why Qinghe Country is so eager to relocate villagers is very simple. There is a severe drought in the country this year.
As ordinary people, they do not have permanent property (houses, fields), and when their people die, they have no place to bury them.
As the drought lasts longer and longer, ordinary people have lost their jobs and can only become refugees and seek refuge in other countries.
Under such circumstances, the leader of the Qinghe Kingdom suddenly learned that just a hundred miles away, there was a fishing village that had not paid taxes or grain for hundreds of years. This was really a big surprise for the leader.
You must know that the Qinghe Kingdom is not large, with only a dozen cities in total, and a total population of only 300,000 people.
Because it is located at the junction of the Eastern Region and the Western Region, local commerce is extremely developed.
To put it simply, the leader of Qinghe Kingdom is not short of money, but short of people.
In the case of serious loss of ordinary people, a thousand more people suddenly appeared under the rule. This was an unexpected surprise for the leader of Qinghe Kingdom.
Soon, the entire fishing village was occupied by the navy sent by the king.
All property in the fishing village was looted.
The villagers were moved out and given to the landlords as tenants.
The tragic fate of nearly a thousand fishermen in Taoyuan Fishing Village is a true reflection of the billions of people in this era.
Su Mingzhe had no intention of helping to change it.
…
This day.
It's not yet noon, and there are no customers in the restaurant.
Su Mingzhe was sitting on the second floor, bragging with a few old customers.
After a while, the waiter ran up and whispered a few words.
When Su Mingzhe heard that another villager from the former fishing village came to ask for help, he immediately frowned and said in a bad way:
"Didn't I say that if these villagers come again, just take some money from the counter and send them away directly?"
…
More than two hundred households of villagers, nearly a thousand people, were moved to Qinghe Country. Those with financial resources took advantage of the severe drought to buy some fields and houses.
But there are also some villagers whose families are poor and have little financial resources. Therefore, they inevitably come to Su Mingzhe, a rich man, to fight against the autumn wind.
For the sake of his previous reputation, Su Mingzhe would also take some money to support the villagers who came to ask for help.
However, as the number of visits gradually increased, Su Mingzhe became too lazy to show up.
After being scolded, the waiter could only smile bitterly:
"Boss, there is an old man. He said that he is your father-in-law and he brought you here."
"My father-in-law?"
Su Mingzhe opened his consciousness and actually saw Alan's father downstairs.
…
"Mingzhe, isn't the store busy yet?"
Alan's father smiled sarcastically when he saw Su Mingzhe coming down from the second floor.
Previously, he was paralyzed and bedridden, which delayed his daughter Alan's marriage.
Later, Su Mingzhe married Alan, and in order to take care of the old man conveniently, he lived in his house.
As a result, the old man mistakenly thought that Su Mingzhe was a bride-in-law.
Some time ago, Alan gave birth to a son, and the old man wanted the child to have his last name.
Su Mingzhe was naturally not used to facing such an ignorant father-in-law.
On weekdays, whenever he didn't need to show up, Su Mingzhe would tap on his sleeping point to let him sleep more.
Now that he has entered the city, the doctor at the medical center gave him acupuncture treatment. He needed to walk around more, so Su Mingzhe asked him to wake up more during the day.
Unexpectedly, the old man was busy looking for trouble for his son-in-law before his legs and feet were ready.
Su Mingzhe snorted coldly in his heart and silently sentenced him to a 'life sentence'.
