Chapter 197 Hitting the wall
Lu Dagang didn't expect this either.
His careful plan was ruined by a beast. The family could have had a full meal today, but the food was on their shoulders and was messed up by such a beast. He couldn't accept it!
But now he was caught on the spot, the light of the torches was reflected on his face, and more and more villagers were gathering around him.
The villagers here were already disgusted by the other 500 refugees coming to divide up their already scarce land resources. Now Lu Dagang, a refugee himself, came to steal things, which naturally annoyed the villagers.
He was having a brainstorm and the situation was out of control.
Xu Wenyan was wearing a coat. This time he held the dog's leash and was stroking the dog's head lazily, yawning from time to time.
Soon, Er Mazi came over with a frown on his face: "What's going on?"
"He...ah..." Xu Wenyan couldn't help yawning again: "They are stealing things from the outside house." In fact, he could find his food today whether he was found or not.
Now I am annoyed by these people disturbing my rest, but the good thing is that the dog didn't leave. Thanks to the dog, I can avoid the trouble tomorrow.
Ermazi lowered his head and looked at the two people who were kneeling on the ground and shivering.
"Do you want me to handle it or Xu Wenyan?" Er Mazi said coldly.
Lu Dagang swallowed hard. If Xu Wenyan dealt with him, the end would be miserable. If it was his own things being stolen, he would definitely beat him half crippled first.
Although Lu Dagang has been beaten by Xiaohu.
"Sir, you are the most fair. We are not here to steal anything. We are just here to take back the food that belongs to us!"
It was at this time that Lu Dagang's wife and sister-in-law, both holding their children, knelt beside Lu Dagang.
Xu Wenyan knew this scene, it was just a way to play the victim.
"Oh, sir, the day before yesterday I brought my child here for medical treatment, and Xu Wenyan charged us thirty coins! This is all the savings of our whole family." Cui continued to wipe her tears, her slightly red eyes looked so pitiful: "He didn't find anything after the examination, and sent us away."
Cui was already sobbing, and the people around were watching her performance: "Now there is nothing to eat at home, and we have no money either. The head of the family wants to come and take our share of food back. Wuwuwuwu... It's really not our fault."
The villagers who did not know the truth began to talk about it. Some said that the Lu family was pitiful, while others said that they must be punished for stealing.
Xu Wenyan laughed disdainfully: "Haha, what a good thing that I didn't say anything when I was seeing the doctor, don't you think you don't want to see me now that Doctor Zhao is back?
When she came here, she was crying and begging me to treat her, but when she heard that Doctor Zhao was back, she ran away immediately. I think your family needs to see a doctor."
"You!" Cui glared at Xu Wenyan fiercely. Xiaohu saw it and came to Xu Wenyan and glared back.
Xu Wenyan added: "Doctors always charge for medical treatment, but my family won't have to eat, right? I want to see you for free."
After saying that, Xu Wenyan pointed his finger to the ground again and said, "Even if I charge you twenty cents less, how much are these things you have worth?
You can’t buy a dried rabbit without forty cents, half a bag of potatoes, ten cents, and these dried goods, these are mushrooms, you also know how much mushrooms cost.
Besides, food is in short supply now and the price is naturally not the same as before. You stole so many things from our house just to starve me and my children to death.
You have such a cruel heart!"
"That's right! He is a refugee and yet he dares to steal things. What will happen next?"
"Yes, yes, he must be severely punished. This is life-saving food."
Most of the people who were talking were from Xu Wenyan's former team. They trusted Xu Wenyan as the team leader very much, and Xu Wenyan said that Doctor Zhao would eventually leave.
Xu Wenyan is the village doctor, and he secretly cursed the Lu family for being so stupid. He should at least consider the long-term future of his family.
Really stupid.
Seeing the villagers pointing their spearheads back at them, Cui had no choice but to play the victim. The old and the young cried together: "Oh, look at my poor Dashan. He is still injured and is being bullied. Wuuuuuuu..."
"okay!"
Ermazi was woken up late at night. He didn't care how many children this woman had at home. Even if Xu Wenyan did something wrong, he would still symbolically favor Xu Wenyan.
He didn't want to turn around and be scolded by Wang Zeren.
What's more, there is indeed something wrong with the Lu family. If he doesn't punish them severely at this time, the whole village will be ruined by these bad apples.
There are many refugees who have this mentality, but the Lu family is bold and dares to do such a thing. If we don't "entertain" the Lu family today, there will be more and more troubles in the future.
"I've said before that theft is not allowed in the village. Now you decide whether to settle it privately with Xu Wenyan or let me settle it publicly." Er Mazi looked at Lu Dagang with a cold face. He knew that he had the final say in the Lu family.
"My Lord, I will obey you."
Afterwards, Ermazi was beaten with fifteen sticks on the spot, and his heart-wrenching roars echoed in the night.
In addition, he had to help the village with chores for a month, and would be the last one to receive the land when it was distributed.
You have to know that it is impossible for the country to divide up too much land at one time. Even wasteland is not allowed. The more time goes by, the less land will be allocated.
Even if we were assigned one, it would be to an extremely remote place.
The Lu family is used to being domineering in Guihua Village.
Now that they have come to Jixiang Village, they have hit a wall. They still think that they are in the right because they have more people.
After Ermazi dispersed the villagers, Xu Wenyan squatted down and touched the dog: "Good dog, it can also guard the house."
Seeing that Xu Wenyan was really interested, Chen Sanlin walked forward and said, "Let's tie it up in the yard first. It won't go home this late. Maybe its previous owner is no longer around."
"Yeah." Xu Wenyan nodded and got some water for the dog.
It’s late today, so let the dog rest first, and then I’ll prepare some food for it as a reward tomorrow.
