Chapter 45 The shamelessness of the three village chiefs

These two carriages were used by people in their village after they were injured by Wang Yuanwai's family.

Except for the old lady who was killed, the other people who were injured were all from Qingshui Village, so the carriage and money were naturally distributed to the families of the injured.

Some of the injured people with minor injuries have almost recovered and can walk on the ground, while some still need to sit in a carriage.

Now, what do these three village chiefs want to do when they stare at the carriage in their village?

The old village chief's ominous premonition was quickly verified.

Chen Lizheng said with a smile on his face: "Old Lin, you see, our four villages fled together, we are a whole, right? The people who were hit by Wang Yuanwai's family were not only people from your village, we An old lady from Chenjiacun was hit and killed on the spot, so should one of this carriage be given to us?"

The other two village chiefs also stared at the two carriages with burning eyes, the greed in their eyes was so obvious.

But they were not qualified to ask for carriages, because these two carriages had nothing to do with their two villages.

When the old village chief heard Chen Lizheng's words, he frowned:

"But, didn't we already distribute ten taels of silver to the old lady's family, and the people in our village also helped her family bury the old lady? These two carriages are for the injured in our village. , since you have decided to stay here, why do you need carriages? People in our village still have to move forward, and these two carriages are very important to us."

Chen Lizheng said with a smile: "Old Lin, you are being unreasonable! If we stay here, this carriage will be of great use! If you sell such a good carriage to people in the city, you can earn some money to subsidize it. Buy some grain to grow or something. Otherwise, how will we live in the future if we don’t have anything?"

"Since you still want to move forward, the state capital ahead will definitely be able to take you in and help you, so you don't have to worry about your future life."

The other two village chiefs also echoed: "Yes, and if we stay here, the government may not take us in! Maybe we will continue to follow you to other state capitals, and we will all be hungry by then. If you can't walk anymore, wouldn't it be much more convenient to have a carriage?"

The old village chief almost laughed angrily: "The people who were injured are all from my Qingshui Village. Why do you have the nerve to say that you want to leave the carriage?"

"What you said is wrong. Didn't Li Zheng just say it? We came out to beg for food together, that is, we are a whole. You people from Qingshui Village are also in the same group as us! You bumped into the people from Qingshui Village , which is equivalent to hitting our people, so the carriage should naturally be distributed to us."

This was not the first time that the old village chief had seen the shamelessness of these three village chiefs, but at this moment he still felt very chilled.

When everyone decided to escape, they really thought that they would be safer in numbers.

But along the way, when the people of Qingshui Village encountered danger, they never saw people from the other three villages come forward to help.

When people from other villages are in need, the people from Qingshui Village are always the first to step forward and lend a helping hand.

Unexpectedly, these people were not grateful for their help at all, but shamelessly wanted to take away the property they deserved from Qingshui Village.

"You really want to go this far?"

The old village chief asked in a deep voice.

He glanced at the three village chiefs.

Chen Lizheng met his gaze without any guilt, his eyes were full of greed.

The other two village chiefs avoided his gaze, but kept staring at the two carriages.

"Good! Good! Very good!"

The old village chief was very glad at this time that he agreed to Qiao Ran's suggestion and continued to move forward with the people of Qingshui Village, so that he could have a clear look at the faces of the three village chiefs.

It's better to separate from such people, otherwise, I'm afraid a lot of disgusting things will happen in the future. These people just take advantage of Qingshui Village, but never think of repaying it.

Anyway, there should not be so many refugees ahead, and the road will be safer. Without the strength of these people, as long as the people of Qingshui Village unite, they will definitely reach the next state capital safely.

The old village chief flicked his sleeves and returned to the villagers of Qingshui Village angrily.

When everyone saw the old village chief coming back angrily, they all gathered around and asked with concern what happened.

"Village Chief, are they unwilling to leave with us? You don't have to be angry, just forget it if they don't leave, let's go on our own!"

"Yes, uncle village chief, don't worry, we all listen to you. If you say you want to move forward, we will move forward. If they want to stay, let them stay. Just don't regret it in the future."

Everyone comforted the old village chief. Qiao Ran guessed something when she looked at the old village chief's expression.

"Grandpa Village Chief, did those people say something? Did they want us to leave something for them?"

Everyone looked at Qiao Ran in surprise.

What does this mean? Why do they ask Qingshui Village to leave things to them?

The old village chief nodded: "Yes, they want our carriage."

"What? What qualifications do they have to ask for a carriage? This carriage was paid to us by Wang Yuan's family who injured someone in our village. It's none of their business? How can they have the nerve to come and ask for a carriage?"

"That's right! How shameless! What does this carriage have to do with them? The person it hit was not from their village.

The old village chief sighed: "Chen Lizheng said that the old lady who was killed was from their Chenjia Village, so this carriage also belongs to them."

"They want to eat shit! Didn't the old lady pay ten taels of silver to her family when she was hit? Only one person in their village was hit, but there were more than a dozen injured in our village. How could they have the nerve to say so? Want our carriage?"

"Hey! These shameless bastards! See if I don't scold them bloody!"

Some of the more aggressive women immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed over to scold him.

In the past, they didn't dare to offend Li Zheng. After all, he was only half an official. If he wanted to make them pay more taxes and grains, there was nothing they could do.

But now he is running away from home, and he is a fool!

What's more, they have to part ways with those shameless people, and they are still afraid of birds!

Seeing that everyone was about to rush over to talk to Chen Lizheng and the others, the old village chief quickly stopped the angry people.

The old village chief was also very angry, but since people in the other two villages supported Chen Lizheng's statement, there was nothing he could do.

But these two carriages are also very important to them. There is a long escape road ahead, so having two carriages will be much more convenient.

There are still a few injured people who still need to take a carriage. The old village chief really doesn't want to leave this carriage for the people of those three villages.

But he didn't want to have a conflict with the other three villages at the gate of the city. What if other refugees saw that they were having conflicts and took the opportunity to come over and grab things?
