Chapter 591 The new village will not support useless people!
The village chief waved his pipe and pot to signal the villagers to shut up, then tapped his prosthetic arm and called the lame Uncle Zhao forward.
He then said to the wounded soldiers: "Brothers, you may not know that these old brothers and I are also retired wounded soldiers. When we were guarding the border outside the wall, we also killed many barbarians.
"So, we are very aware of the pain in your hearts at this time. After all, we all came here the same way. But I want to tell you, men, we can be killed by barbarians, but we can't be scared to death by a little difficulty! That's too much Shame on you!
"Isn't it just that I am missing an arm and leg? As long as I am willing to work hard, my life is not necessarily worse than that of people with complete arms and legs! Look at us, how happy our lives are now?! You are younger than us and have better roads than us! Long, I will definitely not go wrong in the future.
"The Marquis trusts our village and has sent you here. We welcome you. But we are all men. Let me tell you something ugly. Our village does not support lazy people. If you want to stay, you will have to work in the future!"
"Have you seen these foundations? They are for you! The autumn harvest is coming soon, and there is a lot of work in the village. I don't know, you have to put more effort into your house. In winter, you lie on the hot kang or squat in the shack. It's up to you to tremble!
"Also, after the house is built, a workshop needs to be built. This is also a good business that the Marquis has specially helped you with to make a lot of money every day in the future. You also have to contribute, otherwise it will be left to us boys in the village. Don't blame them for being jealous. Steal your cornucopia!
"Anyway, work, work! As long as you work, you will have enough food, clothing, and sleep. Don't be afraid of the villagers laughing at you for missing arms and legs. Everyone doesn't have the time and is busy grabbing money. Do you understand?”
The wounded soldiers looked at the old man waving his pipe and pot, and were silent for a moment. Then they all shouted in unison, "Understood! We understand!"
These words were like fire, burning their eyes and making them feel a little more energetic than before.
The village chief laughed and praised: "That's right. We are men, so we have to have this attitude."
At the end, he turned to the Marquis and said: "Master Marquis, these little brothers are still injured and cannot be cured. They cannot live in thatched huts. Why don't they live in the village first?"
The Marquis nodded, "The few who are seriously injured will need to be cared for for a few days. We will arrange them in my yard first, and the rest will be taken care of by each other."
The village chief quickly shouted to the villagers, "Bring the brothers into the village. Each family will have a house. It will be enough to take in five brothers. After one month of work, the houses here will be built! The food these brothers eat will be produced in the village." , when your mother-in-law cooks, she also adds an extra handful of vegetables.
“Also, everyone’s eyes should be brighter. If these brothers are injured, they should quickly find Dr. Zhang, you know? They are all miserable people. If we help each other now, we will live on each other’s shoulders from now on!"
“I understand, village chief, don’t worry.”
“Let’s go, hurry into the village.”
“Little brother, come to my house and I’ll cook white rice for you tonight!”
The villagers responded loudly and stepped forward to crowd the carriage toward the village.
The village chief fell behind and whispered to the Marquis, "Master Marquis, there is actually not much work in the village. Everyone can build this house. However, these little brothers have just lost their limbs and are afraid that they will become useless. If they give more They arrange work so that they feel that they are still useful and no longer want to take a dead end.
“And living in a house they built themselves, they feel at ease. After a while, when work starts in the workshop and they can earn enough money to support themselves, they won’t think about it anymore.”
The Marquis knew the truth of this very well, and of course he would not misunderstand that the village chief was treating these wounded soldiers harshly.
He was filled with gratitude, and he handed over his hand again and said sincerely: "Uncle, when I think of entrusting wounded soldiers, the first thing I think of is you. Thank you for your hard work in the future."
This trust is a great honor for the village chief. The old man straightened his back and beat his chest loudly.
“Don’t worry, Lord Marquis, these boys will be alive and kicking after taking care of them. Maybe next year at this time, they will be thinking about getting a wife again. By then, these two villages will have to build new houses!”
The two of them talked all the way back to the village. It happened that Jiayin brought Shuiling back from Doctor Zhang, holding a new medical book in his arms.
As soon as she saw her adoptive father, Jiayin ran over and complained aggrievedly, "Father, wu wu, you have killed Fu Niu'er! Fu Niu'er is so pitiful, she will be exhausted by Grandpa Zhang!"
She waved the medical book in her hand, "Look, look! It's such a thick book. Grandpa Zhang wants me to memorize it in one day. If I do a spot check tomorrow, if I memorize a wrong prescription, I will be slapped!"
The Marquis frowned in distress. It would have taken him half a month to replace such a thick medical book. This old man was really trying to undermine his efforts!
"I guess I didn't explain it clearly last time. I'll talk to Miracle Doctor Zhang again tonight, and I won't let him squeeze your endorsement like this this time!" Mr. Hou rubbed the little girl's hair. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt This kid is tired and thin...
When he said this, Jiayin felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. After thinking about it, he waved his fist and said, "Forget it, adoptive father, it's better not to settle the score with Grandpa Zhang! Fu Niu'er is very powerful. She will definitely defeat Grandpa Zhang and let her He was impressed and asked me to give him some problems when I start my career in the future!”
After saying this, the Marquis and the village chief both laughed.
The village chief patted the fat **** the back and praised: "Okay, we Fu Niu'er are ambitious! From now on, when people in the village have trouble, they won't ask for help from this weird old man Zhang Shenyi. Let us Fu Niu'er take action. The medicine cures the disease."
"No, no!" Jiayin waved her hands in fear, "I haven't memorized the prescription yet. The village chief can't count on me. What if the medicine kills someone?!"
The village chief and the Marquis burst into laughter, this fat girl is so cute!
While talking and laughing like this, everyone entered the village.
Each family is busy cleaning up their houses and arranging the wounded soldiers assigned to their homes.
Although every family is living a better life now, no one has made extra beddings to wait for guests. The sudden addition of five people also caught them off guard.
Fortunately, it is summer now and there is no need to keep warm.
He burns a fire in the big kang to warm it up, then spreads out a mattress and sleeps on it. At night, he just pulls on a coat and puts it over his belly.
The women were busy cleaning the house, burning the kang, and then went to cook.
The men helped fetch water, and then sat under the eaves of the verandah with the wounded soldiers to chat.
The naughty boys were curious about the wounded soldiers, but were too shy to come forward. They just hid behind the adults and quietly listened to the excitement.
The Li family also wanted to divide a few wounded soldiers to help take care of them, but the villagers did not agree and robbed them all in the blink of an eye.
Old Mrs. Li didn’t insist. She thought about making more noodles, steaming some meat buns tomorrow, and giving them to the wounded soldiers for fun.
At this moment, Sister-in-law Qiong came to the door in a hurry!
