Chapter 1019: Help
As soon as Le Wei left on the front foot, a steward of the Qi family came to the door on the back foot.
Lin Chengzhi walked out of the door and saw the old man standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "Manager Pang, why are you here?" Come in, come in. ”
Steward Pang said with a smile: "No, I came this time to send food to Boss Lin on the order of my second master." ”
Lin Chengzhi was a little confused: "What kind of food?" ”
Steward Pang explained: "My cousin wrote to my second master, asking him to buy 20,000 catties of grain and send it to Taohua Village. Boss Lin, the grain has been delivered to the dock, you see if we can leave now. ”
Lin Chengzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was really sleepy and sent a pillow: "Okay, let's go now, go now." ”
In order to send 20,000 catties of food, the Qi Mansion dispatched more than 20 guards, and this is also the reason why Qingshu begged Qi Wangming.
got on the boat, Steward Pang handed a letter to Lin Chengzhi: "This is a letter from your cousin, read the letter first!" ”
Lin Chengzhi has been communicating with Qingshu for so many years, and he has never received such a thick letter. This letter is as heavy as the previous five letters.
After reading this letter, Lin Chengzhi also had a bottom in his heart.
Steward Pang waited for him to finish reading the letter and said, "Boss Lin, you have a good niece!" Look at the girl of this family, when she heard that her hometown was in trouble, she would help the whole clan. ”
There are countless people who have helped their mother's family, but the one who has given relief to the entire clan and also gave the women of the same clan who founded a female school to study for free, his eldest cousin and grandmother are definitely the first.
So the family still has to produce talents! Regardless of men and women, as long as they become talents, they can give back to the family.
Lin Chengzhi said with a smile when he heard this: "Yes, our Lin family is blessed. ”
Lin Chengzhi directly asked the guards to transport these grains to his home. Several large rooms in his family were empty, enough to put down 20,000 catties of grain.
As soon as the food was delivered, Steward Pang had to go back.
Lin Chengzhi earnestly retained: "Steward Pang, let's leave after you eat!"
"No, we still have a lot of things to do in our house and we have to go back quickly. Boss Lin, our second master said that if you go to Pingzhou in the future, he will invite you to dinner. ”
Lin Chengzhi was suddenly a little flattered. As long as you have a relationship with the Qi family, you don't need to be afraid of the peeling county order in the future.
After the group left, the patriarch and several clan elders came to find Lin Chengzhi: "Chengzhi, why did you suddenly buy so much food?" ”
Lin Chengzhi explained: "I didn't buy these grains, they were bought by the second master of the Qi family in Qingshutuo. Patriarch, breakfast and dinner will be served in the school from today, and the children will not be able to go back until they have finished eating. ”
The patriarch was stunned and said, "All this food is for those girls in the academy?" ”
He also thought that the grain was for the relief of the tribesmen.
Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said: "There is no rice in the village, so each family sent two hundred catties of grain to help them survive this difficulty." ”
The patriarch's expression was slightly better.
But with such a distribution plan, some people are not happy. When the food was delivered, a family in the village also shouted that they had no rice to cook, and asked Lin Chengzhi to help them.
Without waiting for Lin Chengzhi to speak, Lin Chengan began to shout angrily: "Daping's family has no food because Uncle Gui was sick at the beginning of the year, and they sold it to make up for medical expenses. Where's your home? You are watching the price of food rise sharply, and you sell all the food in your family for the two dollars, and you deserve to starve to death. ”
Who thought that the mother-in-law of this family was a bastard, she knelt in front of Lin Chengzhi: "Brother Chengzhi, please give us some food!" Without food, our two dolls will not be able to live. ”
Lin Chengzhi thought it was funny. When he is stupid, the beggars in the city will not give him food to the beggars in the city.
Peng squirted the woman: "I said, why are you so shameless? Return the baby, your eldest man is twelve years old, and he will marry a wife in a few years. ”
The woman didn't care, and begged while kowtowing to Lin Chengzhi: "Brother Chengzhi, please save our family!" Without food, our family is going to starve to death. ”
At this time, a woman carrying a bamboo basket on her back said, "Brother Chengzhi, I smelled a smell of meat last night. I'm sure the scent came from their house. ”
When the woman heard this, she scolded angrily: "Ma Vanilla, you spew blood. ”
Ma Vanilla scolded: "Black-hearted and rotten things, you dare to be greedy for these life foods, and you are not afraid of going to the eighteenth layer of hell." ”
In fact, the disaster in Taohua Village was not particularly serious, and most of the villagers were able to survive until the autumn harvest, and only a few who were particularly difficult or had an accident like Daping broke off their cooking.
Lin Chengzhi didn't entangle with the woman, he just said to the patriarch: "Qingshu knew that the clan had suffered a disaster, so he specially asked someone to buy food and send it. Patriarch, we can't ignore Qingshu's intentions in vain, otherwise she won't care if anything happens to the Lin family in the future. ”
Then the patriarch rebuked the woman: "What are you doing noisy, if you dare to make any more trouble, I will drive you out of the village." ”
The woman suddenly did not dare to make any more trouble.
The patriarch called Lin Chengzhi into the house and said to her: "There are actually some more difficult ones in the clan, Chengzhi, see if you can help them." ”
Lin Chengzhi said: "Patriarch, everyone has difficulties. I left a shop and closed five and only left one, and this one is also losing money. Then, today he was forced by the government to donate 200. I'm having a hard time now, but I can't shut up the girls' school and sell this grain just because I lack money. Patriarch, if there are difficulties, overcome them yourself. Only if we really can't get through it can we help them, otherwise we will contribute to that crooked wind and the atmosphere in the entire clan of the Lin family will be ruined. ”
The patriarch was silent.
At this time, Lin Chengan came over: "Ah Zhi, my father has something to say to you, you can go with me!" ”
When Uncle Lin saw him, he took two puffs of cigarette and sighed and said, "Chengzhi, some families in the village see that there is not enough food at home and only feed the male baby, regardless of whether the female baby lives or dies. How can they survive like this, Chengzhi, see if you can give it to those girls in one bite. ”
It's also that he saw so much food being transported, otherwise he wouldn't have opened this mouth.
Lin Chengzhi was stunned.
Peng explained: "Chengzhi, the youngest daughter of Lai Tou's family starved to death two days ago, and the little girl is less than three years old this year!" There are also the two big ones, which are also so thin that there are only a handful of bones left. ”
At this point, her eyes turned red.
This Laitou family has three daughters and one son, and everything delicious in the family is close to the son. As for the daughter, it's all good to stutter at a loss, and I want to eat well. Now that they have suffered a disaster, the two of them will not care about them, the two eldest ones can go to the mountains to find wild vegetables to eat by themselves, and the younger ones will starve to death if they don't survive.
Seeing that Lin Chengzhi was silent, Uncle Lin said: "If you can't be the master, write to ask Qingshu, I believe she will agree." ”
Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said: "There is no need to write a letter about this, Qingshu knows that the girl in the clan will definitely reach out when this kind of thing happens." But we have to come up with a charter for this, otherwise someone will make trouble again. ”
Uncle Lin was relieved when he saw him agree: "Then you can make a good calculation, as long as you get through this period of time, and wait for the autumn harvest." ”
