Chapter 22: Discrimination
Chapter 22 Discrimination
Relying on the strength of their numbers, the villagers somewhat disregarded Ye Anlan, who had a bad reputation.
The villager who was slapped on the wrist by Ye Anlan took a step towards her viciously, "You have no place to talk here, you brat! You give it to me!"
Before he finished speaking, he flew upside down without warning.
Ye Anlan put her foot down, "Don't get so close to me, the stinking guy must learn to stay away from the crowd consciously."
Everyone: .
Without waiting for everyone to react, Ye Anlan said again: "My house does not welcome guests today, you better not step into my door, or don't blame me for treating you as trespassers."
"Yo, your family is even more remarkable than the Liu family? You don't even allow people to enter the door. Are you planning to cut off contact with everyone in the village? Then don't ask us if you have anything to do with your family in the future."
"That's right! He even considers himself a character!"
"The Liu family is not as crazy as their Ye family, and I don't know where they got this confidence!"
"After a while, I think I can go to heaven, and I don't even look at my identity! The little girl is so crazy like this"
"Isn't it just that there are two stinky money, the Liu family is much richer than them, and I haven't seen them like this."
"Then you should go to the Liu family to 'borrow' money!" Ye Anlan elongated her voice, saying the word "borrow" with a lot of meaning.
She looked at the group of villagers who were talking about denouncing the Ye family with a half-smile, "Let me guess."
"We have not been in the village for more than two days, you must have been idle, right? Now you have come to my house to make trouble, because you are afraid of the master of the Liu family, and you dare not go to his house to make trouble, or you went, but in the end Can't really borrow the money?"
"Otherwise, you think it would be troublesome to 'borrow' money from the Liu family if you renege on the debt, but our family is regarded as a soft persimmon by you."
"You think that with my father's character, you can surely eat a piece of meat from him as long as you cry and say a few words casually. After all, this is not the first time you have done this kind of thing. You are very experienced in dealing with him."
"But unfortunately, it is I, Ye Anlan, who is in charge of our family now. It is not my honest father who has always taken good care of you, but was rewarded by you."
"And you don't have to coerce the whole village to threaten us." Ye Anlan raised her chin slightly, motioning for everyone to look at Li Zheng's grandfather and grandson who rushed over, "You still can't represent all the villagers in the whole village."
Everyone followed her gaze, and when they saw Lao Lizheng with an angry face, the villagers who were aggressive before suddenly retreated.
"These **** don't do their business, but think about these crooked ways every day!" After scolding the villagers away, Lao Li was holding his grandson's arm, panting heavily.
Ye Anlan, who had already prepared snacks, hot tea, and gifts for him, stepped forward with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Lizheng."
Old Li waved his hand, "It's all my job."
That's what I said, but how many grassroots officials are there who can really do all their duties well like Lao Lizheng?
Not to mention that in the current troubled times where rituals are broken and music is broken, even in the Taiping years when officials are governed by Qingming, there are not as many officials who eat vegetarian meals as corpses.
Seeing that the other party had helped her solve several troubles with due diligence, Ye Anlan generously packed a lot of extra gifts for Lao Lizheng.
"We bought these in the county seat, and I'll give you a fresh taste." Put two bolts of soft muslin cloth with light anthocyanin, two boxes of soft pastries suitable for the elderly, a roast chicken, and a pack of stewed pork , a jug of good wine, and a catty of brown sugar were put on the wooden cart belonging to Lizheng's family. Ye Anlan turned to look at Lao Lizheng's eldest grandson, "Brother Baosheng, please drive the cart home by yourself."
Lao Lizheng's eldest grandson gave way several times, seeing the sincerity of Ye's family, he laughed and drove home with Lao Lizheng.
As for Erzhu and Huzi who helped Ye's family look at the house for a few days, these two families had a hard time, and Ye Anlan didn't give them any fuss.
Ye Anlan gave each of them a big bag of coarse grain noodles that was originally stored at home, which should weigh about a hundred catties by visual estimation.
In addition, Ye Anlan also gave them two bolts of coarse cloth, ten catties of cotton, a small bag of white flour, a small bag of round-grained rice, a live chicken, a frozen fish, ten catties of pork belly, and ten catties of pork suet.
With these things, the two of them can have a good year this year.
"This, this is too much." A steady stream of various things, the eyes of the two tough men were red, and their hands were shaking.
Ye Jinkui patted the two of them on the shoulders, following his daughter's instructions, dutifully buying people's hearts, "You two and Baogen are brother's good brothers. Back then, my Yuan Niang became ill like that, if you hadn't helped my brother hire a doctor and advance money , Yuanniang can't survive the day when brother sells the old house in the family to raise money."
When the two heard this, they immediately had a better impression of the Ye family.
Money, when they sold the house, they paid it back immediately. Before the refugees entered the village, they also borrowed food to help their two families survive the difficulties. The most important thing is that they have not yet repaid the food.
They originally thought that the matter would be settled here, but they didn't expect the Ye family to always remember their kindness of helping them back then.
The two of them were warm in their hearts, and when they left the Ye family's door, they heard someone deliberately saying that the Ye family was bad and that was bad. Before Ye Jinkui rushed up, the two of them had already automatically maintained the reputation of the Ye family.
On the contrary, Ye Jinkui, who was secretly admiring his daughter, seemed to be calmly driving the ox cart, directly carrying the two people who were filled with righteous indignation and a small half of their belongings.
Erzhu, Huzi and all kinds of things given to them were sent to their homes respectively, and Ye Jinkui drove the ox cart to Baogen's house again.
While returning the car, Ye Jinkui also brought two bolts of fine cloth, two bolts of coarse cloth, two boxes of snacks, ten catties of white flour, ten catties of round-grained rice, a roast chicken, a pack of braised pork, a pack of brown sugar, and a pack of maltose cubes. These things were his thanks to Baogen for lending him the ox cart.
What Ye Jinkui didn't know was that Baogen's wife was also one of the villagers who wanted to borrow money from his family. If Baogen hadn't threatened his wife with "If you dare to ask your natal family to borrow money, you will go back to my natal family for me" and Ye Jinkui would not It's not that easy to get out.
"This day is more tiring than hunting in the mountains." After finally getting rid of the entanglements of the villagers and returning to his home, Ye Jinkui was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the kang and stay still.
As Ye Anlan said, Ye Jinkui took care of the villagers as much as possible in the past few years, so that everyone regarded him as a soft persimmon. Still not guilty.
Having recited Ye Anlan, they still dared to go to Ye Jinkui to find a sense of presence.
