"Manager, are we still collecting grain today?" Shitou asked.
"Collect whatever you want, and hurry up and get back!" The steward glanced at the people who were secretly looking towards them, and then gouged out the stone with a fierce glance.
Now that everyone has had enough water, who would give food in exchange for water? They are not crazy.
What's more, after robbing water, these people's families can still save some water. It is estimated that the food harvest will not go smoothly in the past few days.
Just thinking about it makes me angry. Sheng Qingyu dares to go against him like this. He will never make it easy for Sheng Qingyu!
He will go back and write a greeting note and go meet the magistrate of Guangye City tonight!
"You idiot, you can't do anything well. It's for nothing that I support you like this. Go back and look after the yard. If anything goes wrong in the yard, I will be the first to chop you down!"
"Yes, yes, the little one is wrong."
When Shitou was scolded, he only dared to lower his head and admit his mistake, not daring to say anything.
But I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, he was not the only one who did bad things, and the water in other places was probably not guaranteed, so why did you scold him alone?
Could it be that he was dissatisfied just because he was around the manager?
But what can I do if I don't accept it? I can only hold it in and follow the steward back to the yard.
…
At the city gate, An Jiuyue was still sitting in the tea shed.
The soldier leader was still talking to her about things in the city, or how Guangye City acted during the previous drought. Occasionally, An Jiuyue would generously pour a cup of tea for the soldier leader.
But what he knew was only these things at the city gate. He really didn't know about other places.
"Mom, we are back!"
Qian Yinuo got down from his father's arms and rushed towards An Jiuyue. Then he rushed in front of her and hugged her thighs with his two short hands.
"Be careful, don't hit it."
An Jiuyue raised her hand and touched the little guy's head as a reminder.
"No, no, no, Nono won't bump into her. Mom, my father and I are back. Should we go find an inn to stay?" Qian Yinuo raised his head, looked at An Jiuyue, and asked.
"We're not going to the inn."
An Jiuyue replied to her son.
There are only a few guests in the current inn in Guangye City. The owner of the inn doesn't even have enough water for himself. What kind of inn can he open must have closed down.
As for them, she looked up at Qian Jiyun.
"Jiyun, have you found out anything?" she asked.
When the soldier leader saw Qian Jiyun coming back with the child, he had already left quietly and did not dare to disturb them. The couple looked like they were from a wealthy family.
"I found some information."
Qian Jiyun sat down and told An Jiuyue everything about the grain collectors.
"Mom, those people are so bad. They actually exchanged water for food. And Nono heard about it. They only exchanged ten kilograms of food for a large bowl of water. It's so hateful!"
The little milkman also spoke at the side. What he saw was that the big bowls placed on the table in front of the grain collectors were used to hold water, and a bowl of water required ten kilograms of grain to exchange for it.
.
Don't be too evil-minded and treat the common people as the main culprits.
But even so, there are still people who are willing to exchange food, because there is not enough water in the house to drink, and they cannot survive without changing the water.
