Chapter 19: The Shen Family Selling Grain

Hearing this, Ms. Zhao mocked and said: "We can't learn from your magnanimity. You can share everything, even your own man on someone else's bed."

Hearing this, everyone covered their mouths and snickered.

There was a widow at the end of the village next door, and many men from nearby villages who were fond of stealing ran to the widow's house and were seen many times.

She caught Ma's man by herself, and the two started fighting in front of the widow's door. When Ma wanted to hit the widow, she let her man slap her twice.

For a while, people who didn't deal with Ma used this incident to ridicule her.

Ma's face turned red with anger, and the two of them started to yell at each other with guns and sticks.

A few people in the crowd who really wanted to borrow some food couldn't help but become anxious when they saw Ma's scolding again.

In the end, several women covered her mouth and pulled her back.

The middle-aged man who had just spoken had to stand up again and said: "We also know that we shouldn't come, but the food at home is almost at the bottom. Shen Xiucai is kind, so please help us."

"Yes, your girl was not in good health when she was little, so we all added some cloth to make her clothes. We won't let you give the food for free, we will pay for it."

"Yes, yes, we will pay for it." After the man finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just that the price can be cheaper than at the grain store."

Today's food prices are already two or three times higher than normal food prices, and some people cannot afford to buy food even if they want to.

When Shen Rong saw his daughter giving him a look, she understood that she was asking him to be a popular person, so he stood next to her and said.

"Our family also knows everyone's difficulties, but our food is only that much, and we can only squeeze out part of the food." Shen Rong glanced at the few people who were clamoring just now, asking them to take out all the food and give it to them for free.

Yes, he continued.

"Just because we are willing to help doesn't mean we are benevolent people, so we only sell this food to some people."

Shen Yun also stood up immediately and said: "Except for the people who collect grain with us at home, we won't sell it. We won't sell the rest, you, you, you... and you."

The ones Shen Yun pointed out happened to be the ones who had just incited the crowd to stir up trouble.

Mrs. Ma happened to be among these people. When she heard this, she shouted: "Why don't you sell it to me? You can avenge your personal revenge."

"Just because this food belongs to our family." Mrs. Song said to her mercilessly.

She has not forgotten that Lin Chunyan pushed her daughter into the river.

"If you want to buy food, you can go home and prepare money and food bags now. You won't wait until it's late." After Shen Yuyu said this, he returned to the yard with the Shen family.

Some of the people outside happily ran home, while others stood outside the door cursing. After a while, the news that Shen Xiucai's family was willing to sell food to everyone spread in Shenjia Village. Even those families who had collected the food

Everyone came to see the fun.

At this time, in the Shen family yard, everyone worked together to move some of the grain from the cellar.

Originally, Xiao Zhang's father, Zhang Mancang, was wondering why they wanted to sell the grain. Xiao Zhang explained to him that they had bought a lot of grain in advance.

There are a total of 108 households in Shenjia Village. Excluding the more than 40 households that have collected grain and the dozen households just listed, there are only about 50 households left.

They have enough food, so they don't have to worry about it. It can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating merit.

People who came to buy food lined up in a queue outside, and whoever's turn it was was let into the yard.

Wulang and Liulang were guarding the door like little doorkeepers, closing the door when someone came in, and letting someone in after the purchase was completed.

Shen Yun has already made it clear in front of everyone outside, and they don't have to worry about going into the Shen family's house through such separation.

And after witnessing Shen Yuyu's ferocity in holding a knife to others' necks without blinking an eye, no one dared to cause trouble.

The Shen family sells grain based on the number of people in the family buying grain. No matter how big or small, one person can buy five more kilograms of grain.

The people who came to buy grain didn't have any objections, and the process of weighing the grain was always filled with thanks.

When he was finally about to call it a day, Lin Chunyan came in with Ma.

Shen Yuyu looked at Lin Chunyan, who was trying hard to smile, expressionlessly, and said, "I remember my third uncle said I won't sell you food, so you can leave."

"Sister Yuyu, don't take it to heart if my mother made you angry this afternoon. She didn't mean it." Lin Chunyan came over and wanted to hold Shen Yuyu's arm, but she dodged it.

She lowered her head sadly, shedding tears, and said in a tearful voice: "I know sister Eucalyptus is still angry with me, but I really accidentally pushed you into the water, the two of us The relationship is the best, how could I do that."

Lin Chunyan was really forced to do this because her family did not have much food. Her mother said that if she could not get Shen Yuyu to agree to sell food to them, she would save her rations for her brother.

But if there were outsiders, Lin Chunyan's behavior would probably make a few people feel distressed, but now there are only the Shen family and Xiao Zhang's natal family in the closed courtyard.

Everyone in the Shen family knew what was going on, but the Zhang family, who didn't know the situation, was the only one who was on the side of the Shen family.

Seeing that her father and elder brother were confused, little Zhang stood aside and told her what Lin Chunyan had done.

Shen Yuyu sneered and said: "If your crying behavior were put in front of Wang Zhicai, it might cause a splash... Oh, by the way, I remember that the people in the town sent a lot of food to Wang Zhicai the day before yesterday. Why didn't you see him giving it to your house? Send some."

Wang Zhicai was still at the county school on the day Li Zheng informed the villagers to collect grain in advance. He did not come back until the third day of harvesting. After inquiring about the situation, he asked his parents to start collecting grain.

But it was too late. Before a quarter of the food in the fields could be recovered, heavy rain began to pour down. Then locusts came again, and all the food in the fields was gone.

The food delivered to Wang's family the day before yesterday was delivered to him by his fiancée in the town.

I just don't know if his fiancée would regret her current behavior if she knew that Wang Zhicai was a half-hearted and ungrateful person.

Lin Chunyan's eyes really lit up when she heard this. She thought that when they were making out that day, Brother Wang said that he would take her as a concubine if he won the imperial examination, so it would be okay to go to him for some food.

Ma didn't know the inside story, so she said, "It doesn't matter what the Wang family does, just tell us whether you are willing to give us food."

The Shen family was disgusted by Ma's shamelessness. It turned out that she didn't want to buy food but wanted to buy nothing.

But they saw that Shen Yuyu had her thoughts, so they didn't answer.

Shen Yuyu looked surprised and asked: "Don't you know? Your daughter has a physical relationship with Wang Xiucai, why is it not worth this food?"

Lin Chunyan's eyes averted. How did Shen Yuyu know that she and Brother Wang had a physical relationship?
