Chapter 84 Daily life II

Ren Tingting thought about it and realized that she was right. In a year of great disaster, having water and fields is a blessing: "Come for blessings, come for gold!"

"Yes, miss!"

"How many people do we have now?"

Thinking about these days, Laifu thought about the loyal servants who had returned from selling off their properties in other places. He made some calculations and said: "There are more than 20 families who have returned from various places and have children, and there are more than [-] people, old and young."

"Well, in this case, you let them move their families to Shangren Village! There are houses, fields, food, and shops there."

"Ah, Miss, now that we have houses, fields and property, they will not loyally follow our Ren family in the future."

Of course Ren Tingting understands this truth. If you want people to be obedient, you have to be like animals, half poor and half hungry, and only if you give them a little bit of sustenance will they be manipulated. "I know, times are different now. Besides, I don't need so many people here anymore. Anyone who wants to leave can leave. Since the Republic of China, you are not slaves, you are just long-term workers. Now you have the opportunity to take over land and houses. It’s time to live your own little life, now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, why not seize it, you go and make arrangements now, except for Zhuzhu’s family’s fields, mountains and forests, the rest of the land is taken by the bastards.”

"This... Miss."

"Okay, no need to say more. If you care about my Ren family, you can move around more in the future and treat me as a relative."

"Yes, Miss, I will arrange them, but please don't drive me and Laijin away. We are still willing to follow the Ren family and work as long-term workers for Miss."

Emancipating slaves is in line with the trend of the times. If you insist on holding on to them, you will be in trouble sooner or later. The two sisters of the Ren family who have been abroad and have seen the world in various places naturally see further than these country bumpkins.

When Lai Fulaijin went to do some work, several female servants also hurried home and asked the family members who were long-term workers and tenant farmers to occupy a piece of land. With land and houses, they would also be people with roots in the future.

The news hasn't spread yet, so there won't be so many twists and turns. As for whether there will be a fight over the farmland, I believe that Laifle King's steward status still has the prestige to handle it well. After three generations of children, the family has basically forgotten about themselves. His original surname was adopted from the family owner’s surname.

After everyone had left, He Xiu sat on the sofa and took Ren Zhuzhu's hand.

His eyes blinked and shone. Last night, the devil Yue Qiluo broke his guard. Today, he wanted to regain his confidence for his secret glances.

"Zhuzhu, you are the only one left in your family now. I, He Xiu, can protect your safety in this troubled world. If you are willing, you can follow me from now on, okay? Otherwise, you are a girl, and sooner or later... They were eaten alive by this troubled world."

Ren Zhuzhu, whose hand was held by He Xiu, was very embarrassed. She just felt like she wanted to pounce on him now, and was held down by He Xiu and whipped severely. However, Ren Tingting was aside, flipping through the account book, and was very embarrassed.

He had no choice but to lower his head, let his hand be grabbed by He Xiu, and shouted to Ren Tingting next to him: "Sister Tingting, this...what do you think of this!"

"Zhuzhu, now we sisters can only depend on each other, but you have to make the decision on your own marriage. I have no objection." What can Ren Tingting say? Every capable head of the family these days has several aunts and wives. Look, Look at those millions of people fleeing famine in droves. They are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs. They are not qualified. No matter what human rights and ethics are, they are of no use to them.

Ren Zhuzhu didn't know what to do. She looked around and just nodded.

When He Xiu saw it, it was done. He quickly picked it up one by one and ran upstairs. He couldn't make a decision.Then let me help you make the decision. As for whether it is voluntary or not, it doesn’t matter what age it is. Does it matter whether you are voluntary or not?

I'll make sense to you about everything. Why did I travel through time? I could just go back to my hometown and farm with the old man.

One day is one day, one day is one day, and the Ren family also fell into tranquility as night fell, with weak candlelight illuminating the small room. "Tingting, Zhuzhu, you all sold all your property! Let's go live somewhere else."

"Brother Xiu, I will go wherever you go. But after everything is sold, we will be left with nothing. There are shops and industries, but it is also a steady stream of income."

"Don't worry! I have found a peach blossom land, where we will settle down. When the world becomes stable, we can go wherever we want."

Zhuzhu hid under the quilt, not daring to poke her head out. It was really embarrassing to do this and that with Ren Tingting. "Isn't it gradually settling down now?"

He Xiu smiled, stretched out his hand under the quilt, and pinched a soft thing. : "Fool, a lot of things happened in our Flower Country this year. It's just that our traffic in western Hunan is blocked and we don't have good information. The Japanese pirates in the Northeast have started a big operation. The bald man in Xi'an was held up by two guns. Agree. A full-scale war was declared, and the fighting in Songhu was extremely fierce. I don’t know how many compatriots were sacrificed, and the puppet braided emperor had fled from Tianjin to the north to build the country. It was a mess. According to my estimation, after the New Year , a large-scale war will probably be launched, and how many people will be able to escape."

"Brother Xiu, I heard that the Japanese are very fierce. Can we defeat them?"

"Of course we can fight them. They have been coveting the land of our Flower Country for thousands of years. Our ancestors were able to fight them out. Of course our generation can also fight them. I am ready to form a team to fight guerrillas against them."

"Well, Brother Xiu, we don't understand these big things. Whatever ideas you have, husband, we will follow you. If you want to fight the Japanese, we will give you a baby and spread the incense to you."

"Pass the incense, you are hoping that something will happen to me."

"No way, I'm thinking of just in case. I believe you can come back alive, okay?"

"That's pretty much it. Then we have to have two children, one with your surname Ren, and one with my surname He, so that we can leave a lasting impression on your Ren family, okay!"

"Zhong, I know Brother Xiu is the best."

"Now our top priority is to get rid of our belongings as soon as possible. Let's go to Sichuan. It's safe there. The most the Japanese can do is fly there. I've chosen a good place. The scenery is beautiful and we can herd sheep and cattle. Let's exchange our energy for it." If it turns into gold, turn it all into gold, and just keep some small money as a spare."

"Well, tomorrow I will ask the accountant to clear out the Zhuzhu family's account books. The land is easy to sell, but the shops..."

He Xiu thought for a while, now was not the time to hesitate.With the outbreak of the war, the price of this shop must at least be cut down: "Everything that can be sold at a low price is sold at a low price. It is useless to keep it, so it is replaced by gold, silver and soft antiques."

"Oh, sister, brother Xiu, let's talk about it tomorrow. Isn't it time to do something about leaving incense now?"

"Bah! You little girl, I haven't fed you all afternoon. I'll do it first."
