Chapter 829
After that, he said to the Brigade Leader, “If there is such a thing in the future, you will be whipped back. Have all the cadres died off? Are we still playing the same tricks like our ancestors did 800 years ago? I will make it clear today that if a man dies young and leaves his wife, children or younger siblings behind, the brigade will help them out. We can arrange a long-term working opportunity for the wife to earn work points while the more capable children could also earn some work points. At the end of the year, we will also give them some food subsidies. At any rate, we will allow no one to starve to their deaths in this community.”
Finally, he added, “If the women want to remarry, it’s their own business. As long as the children are properly cared for or arranged into the hands of a competent guardian, no one will have the right to interfere.”
His words were formed in a rather avant-garde manner, making a lot of the men start to frown.
Lin Lan smiled.
Liu Wenhu pulled the village doctor to testify that Liu Erhu was going to die. He wanted to prove that he didn’t kill his brother and that Yanyan was merely spouting nonsense.
The doctor said slowly, “Liu Erhu was seriously ill and he wouldn’t have made it past this year. However, I wasn’t there in the afternoon, so I don’t know if you actually strangled him or not.”
What if you’d sped things up since he might have died too slowly?
Liu Wenhu, “Y-you, you! Why are you putting it that way?!”
The village doctor immediately said, “A person’s life and death are both determined by fate. Their wealth and honour, on the other hand, are in the hands of God. Everyone has their own destiny…”
“Okay, that’s about enough, ” Liu Guifa pulled him away. Gosh, was he a doctor or a shaman? Why is he always going about a person’s life and death or wealth and honour?
