Chapter 809: [Bonus chapter]
" We understand," Tan Mo and Xiao Yu agreed.When Yu Dong saw that Old Madam Hu had thought it through, she turned to look at Village Head Gu who nodded and then rushed to bring the cloth mask which Yu Dong had asked the mers of the village to sew. She took the small tray from Village Head Gu and then placed it at a distance from the two families which came from the Big Stone Village.
" Your families are suffering from the flu, for the time being, I cannot allocate you the empty houses nor the farming lands which can be opened by your family, you will stay with the family of Old Madam Hu in the shack next to her, make sure to wear your masks and never take them off unless you are inside the shack, as for food and everything else," Yu Dong turned to look at Village head Gu who understood her meaning and then faced the families of Tan Mo and Xiao Yu before she said,
" Food will be given three times a day, because it\'s something that is arranged by the village owner, Miss Yu, it will be only simple meals and the women of the village have built a temporary water vat for those who are sick near the shack, cleaning, washing and everything else will be done there… as for your dirty water and waste, there is a dump yard away from the village living area, make sure to dump it all there, in case you make a mistake, I will drive you out of the village do you understand?"
When Tan Mo and Xiao Yu heard that they will get three meals a day, they were stunned, they looked at Yu Dong and did not know what to say, the people of Big River village must have done some real good deeds in their past lives to have such a good village owner as well as such a sensible and understanding Village head who did not have her head filled with water and knew that she needed to follow Yu Dong more than trying to emphasis her power and authority.
They were completely different from Village Head Chou who was vile, selfish and a tyrant.
It was not that Village head Chou did not have the grains when the flood struck but she was used to living a lavish life and instead of sharing the food with the villagers, she ate and slept without a worry thinking that the price of grains will go down sooner or later because the flood only stayed for a few weeks but what she missed to realise that even if the flood was a small one, it was bigger than the one which took place years ago thus the damage was greater than they all anticipated.
The grains stock finished up and everyone soon started to die from hunger, a few women did grit their teeth and brought the expensive grains but they were snatched away by Village Head Chou who started to act more and more like a tyrant with the lack of grains in the village.
But in the end what they feared still happened with no rules and proper management the grain stock soon finished up and they had nothing to eat.
Village head Chou who was used to eating three meals a day couldn\'t withstand the hunger and killed her husband before her children, at first she only killed the one who was least liked by her but then one by one every single child and husband in the Chou house was killed.
Right now, Village head Chou had only allowed two of her daughters to survive, though she said that she could not bear to kill them, everyone knew that she was saving them as the last resort.
But here in the Big River village, the people who did not have stocked up food can actually borrow from Yu Dong. How good was this! This way no one had to worry about getting starved to death!
" We thank you for your grace!" Tan Mo and Xiao Yu bowed and kowtowed on the ground but Yu Dong did not stay there, instead, she asked Old Madam Hu to take her daughters-in-law and mer sons to the shack next to her.
Though the shack was small, it was better than nothing.
It was not like she could also make sure that they make it out of this situation alive and even give them a comfortable life right?
She then turned to leave but then her gaze fell on the ten-year-old girl who was lying unconscious on the back of Tan Mo and her eyes softened before she turned to look at Village head Gu and then said, " Send out some fine rice and medicinal herbs to their shack for that child," she then turned to look at Tan Mo who was now getting up from the ground and added, " If the child does not wake up by tomorrow, send a word with the women who patrol near the shacks, I will send a doctor. Just so you know, this is all not free, once you open the land, I will have you all pay back the debt which you owe."
