How could she have given birth to two such heartless sons? After such a big thing happened at home, they still had the energy to eat. Is this crazy?
"What a sin, what a sin! How come Que'er has a father and second uncle like you?"
When Que'er comes back, she must tell Que'er what happened at home so that Que'er can have a big future and ignore these heartless things!
The children looked at Mrs. An in the yard, then at the adults who had already entered the house to eat, and then decisively followed her into the house.
All the eldest brother's books were burned today. I guess grandma doesn't have the heart to scold them anymore. They can eat more food. Don't be too happy!

Reading a book in the treehouse
Qian Yiyun also came back, and the family sat around a table and started eating.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I came back from the county government office and got some bad news." Qian Yiyun was holding a chicken wing in her hand. Before she could take a bite, she thought of the news she had received at the county government office.
"what news?"
An Jiuyue gave each of the three children a chicken wing and asked them to continue eating, then raised her head and asked Qian Yiyun.
It is impossible to have a war.
The news that Qian Jiyun is a plane traveler must have been spread to this plane long ago. Which country would dare to cause trouble for Daqing and start a war?
"I heard the officials at the county government saying that Xiangcheng in the north thought that several prefectural cities around Xiangcheng had not seen a few rains since July last year, and that a severe drought had arrived.
Now that the price of food here is very high, the people here are not rushing to grab food. However, the emperor ordered each county government to collect food for use in preparation for supporting Xiangcheng and various difficult cities at any time.
The grain merchants who got the news were driving up grain prices, so I went to check out the rice prices in the grain stores, and they were very high."
Hearing this, An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
Raising the price of grain and going against the court, is this something that ordinary grain merchants can do?
"Only this side?" she asked.
"Definitely not. I asked where I could buy cheap grain, but there was none. People in the county government also said that the price of grain was the same in all nearby counties, which made them very sad. I guess the food price is the same.
It can't be collected anymore.
Therefore, Mr. Shi is now focusing on the wheat that should be harvested recently. He hopes to send people to various places to harvest wheat by then, but there are not enough manpower."
Qian Yiyun said.
"Master Shi is really... haha, it's a beautiful thought."
An Jiuyue commented unceremoniously on Mr. Shi. Now that food prices are skyrocketing, this batch of wheat may not be harvested. People also heard the news and wanted to stock up for emergencies.
Or, the grain dealer purchases it at a higher price, so that the grain dealer can make a bigger profit.
"Here comes someone."
Qian Jiyun looked grave and called a secret guard.
"See the prince, the princess, and the princess."
The secret guard came in and knelt down towards the three of them.
"Get up."
Qian Jiyun asked people to get up and gave direct orders.
"Let's find out, who are the people behind those grain merchants?"
He believed that if no one supported them, grain merchants would not dare to confront the government, at least not openly.
But listening to Yiyun's words, it seems that these grain merchants can't even be controlled by the government.
It can be seen that there must be someone behind these people.
