Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 54 It’s true that there is no king’s law anymore
Cheng Xiaosi never expected that her elder brother rescued the business from the disaster.

She also thought that she was too naive. Just now she really thought that her eldest brother was moved by compassion when he saw how poor the family was, and wanted to use the money to build new houses for free for the people in Changxingfang.

"Tell me, brother, what are you going to do?"

Being a developer in ancient times is new.

Cheng Yi pondered over the drawings in front of him, made gestures for a while, and said that he wanted to tear down the entire piece. "I don't know Feng Shui, but this piece doesn't look bad."

Cheng Youyi said that he wanted to build a whole block into a house, and Xiaosi Niang suggested that he could plan a street. After all, compared with houses, "Then the shop must be very profitable."

"Nowadays, the houses are connected together in a cluster of low and narrow buildings. If the houses are rebuilt and lanes are left, how many houses will be built?"

"It won't work."

Cheng Yi thought about it again, and the young lady didn't say anything, thinking that this matter would not be easy to accomplish, the land was owned by the Yamen, and there must be many nail households on it, if he compensated by himself, he might end up losing money.

At this time, Cheng Yousan came back, filled with indignation and swearing. He slapped the table as soon as he entered the door, "It's really not a thing!"

The fourth lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't know if I thought you had any objections to me and my eldest brother."

Cheng Yousan gritted his teeth, "The other parts are simply shameless!"

Cheng Daqi is in charge of Changxingfang, and other adults are in charge of other places. People like Cheng Daqi are busy with disaster relief, but in some places, they not only fail to save the people, but also rush to rescue them.

"In the Jinrenfang area, there were two floods last night. The houses that were not destroyed were completely burned by fire. Some yards were obviously very strong, but they fell down in the middle of the night. My friend secretly inquired and found out that It was the Liu family who did it.”

"I've been thinking about other people's shops and houses for a long time, but now I let them get it because of the earthquake."

"After the house was completely burned, I pretended to take people out to put out the fire. In the morning, only a few pillars were still standing. The people who were affected were crying hard. The Liu family pretended to be relieved and said they were willing to give some money. To compensate, the money is not enough to buy half a piece of land. It’s really like a human in front of you and a dog behind you!”

Cheng Yousan, a passionate young man, was furious, "This is just the beginning. I don't know how much benefit those people are going to get for themselves in the name of saving the people. It's really no good and I can't afford it early. I'm heartbroken."

The young lady was once again shocked in this decadent feudal society, "It is true that there is no royal law."

When Cheng Yi asked those people, they didn't find out, so they didn't make a fuss?

Without waiting for Cheng Yousan's answer, Xiao Si Niang told him the answer, "The word 'earthquake' is enough to make those people feel at ease, it's a natural disaster."

"People have already suffered losses. If they want to make trouble with Ken again, they won't even have the 'compensation'. They don't dare, and they can't."

Cheng Yi got angry, "That's too bullying."

He wanted to rebuild this area, but he also wanted to discuss with each household, and those who were willing to take the money could take the money, and those who wanted to buy it back in the future could do it without taking advantage of others.

It was not at all thinking of taking advantage of the fire.At most, um, I want to take advantage of it, just a little bit.

Cheng Xiaosi sighed, "In my opinion, we can't stop with the beginning, and I'm afraid others will have to follow suit."

The brothers and sisters all frowned slightly, they couldn't handle this matter, and the Shunyi House didn't have that much ability to handle it.

When Uncle Wang came, he said that merchants who had received errands came to report the disaster situation one after another, "Uncle, please ask the eldest son and the second girl to listen."

".It has been in disrepair for a long time. Even if there is no earthquake, it will not last long. Some of the buried ones have been rescued by family members. The injured have been sent to the hospital for treatment"

"...Some people were not seriously affected by the disaster and could save themselves, but when they heard that we were going to take care of them, they cried on the spot, saying that they had no food or drink."

"We have already made a list of those families who are really in difficulty. Each of our families has prepared some food and money. The next step is to ask the uncle to decide."

The situation is simpler than what Xiao Si Niang thought. After all, the houses here are all made of wood, which is much easier to rescue than the reinforced concrete ones in the previous life. As for the food loss, it is not big. Even if the kitchen collapses, it can be dug out.

Cheng Daqi has already been charged with the crime, so he started giving porridge from this evening, "It will only last three days. After three days, only the severely affected families can eat porridge. Each household will allocate manpower to make the victims more honest."

This was not the first time for the Cheng family to serve porridge, and of course they knew it would not be so peaceful. After a while, Xiao He took the fourth lady to the big stove. Looking at the thick porridge being cooked, he directly had half of it scooped out, and the remaining half. He also added a bucket of water, so that the thick porridge became clear, and Xiao He had someone add wheat bran to it. Although it didn't look so clear, the appetite must be quite different.

Seeing the confusion of the young lady, Xiao He slowly explained that no matter where he was, there were many people taking advantage. If the porridge was cooked thick and fragrant, those who were not affected by the disaster would also come to ask for it. In this way, the rice grain consumption would be extremely high. It's so big that it won't last long.

"If the porridge is unpalatable, those who take advantage of it will not come. Those who are really affected by the disaster don't care whether it is unpalatable or not. What they want is not to be hungry."

"Compared with adding sediment to the porridge, this is much gentler."

They were all done out of necessity, and Xiao Si Niang expressed her understanding.

When the sun went down, a lot of people gathered in an open space in Changxingfang, each holding a bowl and waiting for the porridge to be distributed. When they saw the rice porridge that was not in white flowers, many people looked disgusted and started to make a fuss, "Just give us this?" "

"Didn't you say that Uncle Shunyi's Mansion is very rich, so you just give us these to eat?"

"The world is as dark as crows. Do you really expect people to save us sincerely?"

Someone again talked about Jinrenfang, and many people's expressions changed, and they whispered something like "not being kind for the sake of wealth". At this time, Cheng Yousan came in handy and said cheerfully, "I am Not as wealthy as everyone else, my family has never seen white rice twice throughout the year. I see there is still a lot of rice in the porridge bucket, and it will definitely taste better than my multi-grain rice."

"Me too, me too, I can smell the fragrance of rice. I don't eat multi-grain rice all the time. I don't know if it's so good just today or if I will eat it in the next few days."

Several people's eyes met, and they said to the people who just disliked them, "I heard that the food at your home should be good, so why are you here to eat this? Oops, is the food buried? Brother, tell me, All of us will help you dig it out."

"Ah, yes, yes, we are all from the same place. We need to take care of each other at this time. Brother, wherever you live, I will help you after I have some porridge."

The eyes of a few people were sincere, as if they really wanted to help for free, and the expressions of those who disliked them suddenly changed. They are all poor people, and they can come here to line up if they have a pile of polished rice at home?
