Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 29

"It's nothing." Meng Duo glanced at the child on the kang, and hurriedly handed over the duster.

Meng Da took it and patted the shoes, turned around and went out to put the prey into the woodshed, and came back and said: "Who knows who's dog bastard wants one, there is a movement in the guard house, so that no one else can poke around." Ask Meng Duo about going to town.

"The money hasn't been sent out." Meng Duo recounted the matter of going to the Wang's house, "It's also a rough housekeeper, but the Wang's and the Chen's are really different. A woman dares to say that about Douhua, so it can be seen She... oh..."

Meng Da has been listening silently, but the slight frown between his brows obviously went to his heart.

Seeing that he was not very happy, Meng Duo hesitated in his heart to say whether to go to work in Chen's house or not, what to say.

She held back until after dinner, hesitated for a while, and then said it with hesitation.

Meng Da obviously disagreed when he heard this, "People like that are mostly snobbish and rich. They don't talk about it, they don't show it on the face, but they can't get rid of it in their bones. Although our family is poor, it's not so rich. Look at people's faces and beg for food. Besides, even if you are begging for food, you don't need to go!"

Meng Duo bit her lips lightly when she heard the words, knowing that Meng Da was concerned about herself, and what she said made sense, but she still wanted to try.The Chen family is rich and noble, but everyone from the master to the servants is very kind, not as domineering as ordinary big families.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Meng Da couldn't help but soften his heart. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go to the town tomorrow to inquire and see what the Chen family's reputation is like."

"Yeah." Meng Duo's eyes lit up immediately, and his whole face was radiant.

Seeing this, Meng Da shook his head inwardly. Although Meng Duo sometimes spoke profoundly, he was still a child after all. He lived with three children.

The next day, Meng Da couldn't go to the town, because the village assembly was about to divide the land.When the people in the village heard the sound of the gong, they all gathered outside the village office. It was pitch black, and everyone, men, women and children, came here.

Rural people are counting on land to live, and the next land distribution will be in ten years at the earliest. If they suffer a loss this time, they will suffer a lot.The child was held in his arms, the old man leaned on a cane, and a few of them came out in poor health.

Men from every household gathered in front, and Meng Duo pulled his uncle and sister-in-law to watch from the crowd.The village chief and the elders of the clan were sitting on high-backed chairs, talking in low voices.

The land in the village was to be redistributed, and all the villagers gathered at the gate of the village office.The head of the family stands in front and the others surround the back.Everyone was whispering, and Meng Duo felt uneasy.

She knew the face of the village head best, because she had an unpleasant relationship with the village head because of the snake, and later had a rift because of Mr. Lin.A while ago, Pang Da took his wife and children to the village head to complain, and said a lot of bad things about Meng Da.

The village chief was full of anger at Meng Da, but after all, it was just a quarrel between the children, and Meng Da didn't do anything to Fat Aunt. He didn't have a good reason to take the opportunity to retaliate, so he had to hold back.Now that the land is re-divided, there are a lot of tricks in it. I don't know how the village chief will punish people.

As soon as the gong sounded, the village chief stood up and made a gesture towards the crowd, and they immediately fell silent.

"We rural people all live on the land, but there are good and bad land. If the distribution is uneven, it will be a big loss. Since the news of the land division came out, the threshold of my family was almost stepped down by the villagers."

The village head said this in public, and someone immediately said: "Listen to what the village head said, you are still at home, talking about giving gifts to the village head to get good land. What kind of virtue is the village head? You If you dare to say nothing about the village chief, I will smack your mouth." Someone immediately nodded in agreement.

Meng Duo's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.She is not the Meng Duo of her previous life, and she will never be deceived by the village chief's hypocrisy.She knew that the village head must have some kind of conspiracy, but she couldn't find any memory about the division of land even after racking her brains.Meng Duo secretly sighed, since God let me live again, why not let everything repeat itself?That way, she can use the memory to control the direction of things and change the outcome of things.

With her rebirth, many things are quietly changing.She not only thanked God for his pity, but also resented God for being too teasing in her heart.

The village head saw that his words had attracted everyone's surrender, he was secretly proud, coughed and continued solemnly: "In order to show fairness, I have discussed with the elders in the clan, this time we will use the method of drawing lots for the land allocation. Everything is left to God to decide, lest everyone have any opinions. You draw the lottery yourself, and you can't rely on others for good or bad!"

"Drawing lots?" There was a voice of discussion in the crowd again, it seemed that some people were not in favor of this method.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to me." The village chief signaled everyone to be calm and calm, "After the joint discussion of the elders in the clan, the land in our Chenjia Village is roughly divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. Each household Choose a representative and draw lots from the upper, middle, and lower places, so as to avoid excessive differences caused by good or bad luck."

Hearing the village head's explanation, everyone nodded again.This method is good, fair and reasonable, and the difference is not too big and everyone can accept it.Trying to draw lots by chance is better than waiting for the village chief to assign them.Those who gave gifts were turned away, and those who had no money to give gifts were relieved to hear this.

Everyone has equal opportunities, it depends on who has better luck!

The village chief ordered the people to move out three jars with big belly and small mouth, and then ordered everyone to line up and pull out the notes from the jars in an orderly manner.Different marks are drawn on the strips to indicate the location of the land.Wait until the three notes have been drawn, and then bring them to the elders of the clan, and correspond to the land according to the pre-arranged signs.

Everything was carried out under the watchful eyes of the public, and when the results came out, although some people were happy and some were worried, no one raised any objections.As the village chief said beforehand, the lottery was drawn by himself, and seeing that no one was playing tricks, the unsatisfactory result can only be bad luck.

Meng Duo stretched his neck to watch, eager to know what lottery Meng Da had drawn.She saw Meng Da's ugly face from a distance, and her heart sank immediately.

"Now the elders in the clan are registering and making records according to the population and lottery. If there is no change, you can come and register, and you can go back after taking the voucher and pressing the hand. You can exchange each other in private, but only I can wait for you all night, and those who do not register by this time tomorrow will be regarded as giving up the land."

The words of the village chief stirred up waves, and people immediately started running back and forth.A few quite satisfied people went to register quickly, for fear that someone would come to discuss the swap.

Meng Duo took advantage of this time to sneak past, Meng Da saw her and said, "I'm a bit unlucky, but it's not the worst!" After that, he told the location of the land their family was assigned to.
