Chapter 213 Relatives Come to Seek Refuge 8
On the way, two old men wanted to take a ride, but he also dragged his younger brother who was also injured and refused to give them space.
When the other party glared at him, he said bluntly: "Grandpa and grandma are in good hands and feet, so please walk on your own. Qixing and I just fought with someone and are now covered in wounds. We really can't walk."
His grandfather was so angry that he loudly accused him of being unfilial. He sneered and retorted, "Why don't we not leave first and ask the neighbors to judge the matter and see who is unkind or who is unfilial?"
The old man was silent when he heard this. He also knew that what he did was not decent.
But he did not give up. After leaving the town, he and his wife started crying and cursing.
In the end, it was Ningda and his son, who were originally responsible for driving the cart, who could not bear the strange looks from strangers who were attracted by the two old guys crying and cursing, so they endured the pain in their bodies, gave up their seats on the handlebars, and let the two old guys sit for a while.
After hearing the whole story, Ning Cuizhi was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Liulin Town is very close to Baijia Village. Her parents could easily walk here on their own, but how did they do it?
First they watched their children and grandchildren fighting with others, and then they forced the injured children and grandchildren to give up their seats on the bus. Are they still human? Are they worthy of being called father, mother, grandparents?
Bai Chong treated Ning Da's wound, washed his hands, came over and patted the furious Ning Cuizhi, "Okay, don't be angry, it's not worth it to make yourself angry."
How could Ning Cuizhi not be angry? She said, "If I knew about this, I would not have let them into the village just now."
Bai Chong sighed, "Then you should thank your sister-in-law for not telling you about this right away."
Bai Chong was also disgusted by the behavior of the old couple of the Ning family, but the old couple were Ning Cuizhi and Ning Da's biological parents after all. If Ning Cuizhi and Ning Da really ignored the old couple, others would still blame them.
Bai Jingzhou did not express a different opinion. After all, this was not the apocalyptic era of natural disasters where he and Gu Wenxuan had lived before, but a feudal society that believed in the bizarre creed that "there are no wrong parents in the world."
Not to mention just abandoning your grandchildren, watching them fight with others, letting your injured grandchildren walk while you take a car, even if you directly beat your grandchildren to death, neither of these two will be sentenced to death.
The world is like this, what can he say?
Of course, the reason he could think this way was largely because the victims were his uncle's family and he had no right to make decisions for them.
If those two old men provoked him, he would not swallow his anger like his uncle's family.
After all, if he can’t come openly, can’t he come secretly?
While he was thinking about it, another patrolman came to his house to report the news.
This time, it was the farmers that he and Gu Wenxuan had previously told about who came.
One after another, all the farmers on the farms they bought came in groups to Baijia Village to seek refuge with them.
According to them, the safety of Baijia Village is now well-known throughout Qingshan County. Even the people in the county town who are troubled by refugees and for whom County Magistrate Peng is clearly unable to cope, envy the safety of Baijia Village.
When the farmers heard this, they no longer wanted to stay in the county town and simply headed straight to Baijia Village.
Thanks to the training that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou had arranged for them, their belongings were not robbed by the refugees, and there was no loss of personnel. Only about one-third of the people were injured in the previous battle to defend the property.
Because they were worried that more refugees would come and steal their things, causing them greater harm, they left the village after driving them away.
Moreover, they traveled to Baijia Village overnight. In their words, "There is no one on the road at night, so at least we don't have to worry about being robbed."
Because the distances between each village and Baijia Village were different, the time they came was also different. Some came on the same day as Ningda's family, while some came the next day, still feeling cold.
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou treated these people equally. After treating the wounds of the injured, they sent all the farmers directly to Jiajia Village.
On the third day after the second group of farmers left Baijia Village, more refugees poured into Liulin Town. Many families in the town were robbed on the same day, including Bai Jingzhou's aunt's family.
Her husband was seriously injured, and her parents-in-law were beaten to death by the refugees. All the money and property in her house were looted. She had nowhere to go, so she brought her husband, children, and her eldest sister-in-law's family, who had also been looted, to Baijia Village to seek refuge with Bai Jingzhou and his men.
Of course Ning Cuizhi would not take them in. She didn't even know what was going on in the mind of her sister, with whom she had long lost contact, that she would come to her for help at this time.
Ning Cuizhi's parents always spoke for her sister and asked her to take in her sister's family.
Ning Cuizhi responded bluntly, "I can't just move out and let them move in, right? I only have a few rooms in my house, and they're all full now. How can I have any extra room for a dozen people like them?"
Her mother thought it was OK. "We women live in one room, the men live in another room, and if we let the children live in the same room, won't it be enough?"
Now Bai Jingzhou's parents and his sister live in one room. Bai Chong put a partition in the middle of the kang, pretending that there are two rooms so that his daughter can have an independent space.
Bai Jingzhou and his two brothers lived in one room with their cousin. Five of them were squeezed together, so the room was actually quite narrow.
Then the remaining two livable rooms were occupied by the old couple in one and Bai Jingzhou's uncle and aunt in the other.
To be honest, the small courtyard of Bai Jingzhou's house is already crowded enough with so many people living in it. Now Ning Cuizhi's mother actually plans to let her recruit more than ten people to live in it together. What is she thinking?
Ning Cuizhi glared at her, "Why should I sacrifice myself to this extent for them? Do I owe them anything?"
"Besides, they have nothing. Even if they don't mind the stench, they will just wear the same clothes as they have. Can they not eat, not cover themselves with blankets, and not burn firewood for warmth? Where do all these come from?"
Bai Chong was afraid that his wife would get angry and hurt herself, so he patted Ning Cuizhi on the shoulder and said, "Mother-in-law, my house has a small yard and few houses. It is really not suitable for a strange man to live in. It will be bad for the reputation of my daughter and my wife."
Ning Cuizhi's mother still felt a little guilty in front of Bai Chong. She said, "Then, then at least let your sister and her family..."
Bai Chong waved his hands and said bluntly: "Their family is even worse. I feel upset when I see them."
