On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

When Song Xile heard that the grandparents and grandchildren who were selling the sheep had arrived and were waiting outside the door, she quickly asked the cook to bring them in.

She called out her second brother who was feeding the animals in the stable. As soon as they came out of the stable, they saw the Zhang family's grandparents and grandchildren following the cook into the yard.

Song Xile smiled and came forward, politely inviting the grandfather and grandson to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and then politely asked: "I didn't expect that the father-in-law came so early, I wonder if the father-in-law has had breakfast?"

Old man Zhang followed the cook into the yard. He was very nervous at first, but when he saw Song Xile's smiling face, he finally felt relieved.

Seeing Song Xile asking him a question, Old Man Zhang stood up hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Madam. We'll go out after we finish eating!"

Seeing the other party's nervousness, Song Xile's expression eased a little, "Father-in-law, please sit down. There's no need to be so formal here!"

After that, he sat down opposite the grandfather and grandson and said directly, "I guess you came here today to sell the sheep. Do you have any questions?"

Old man Zhang was still thinking about how to start the conversation, but when he saw the other party bring it up directly, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard from Zhuzi that Madam wants to buy my sheep at eight cents per pound. Is this true?"

Song Xile nodded, "It is true."

"However, I need you to kill the sheep according to my requirements and send them to Liu'er Hutong after processing them properly. I wonder if these old men have any objections?"

What opinion could Old Man Zhang have?

He has absolutely no opinion.

According to his original expectation, he would lose at least three or four hundred coins for each of these sheep, and they might not even be sold. Now that he can sell them at the price of previous years, what else is there to be unwilling about?

Old man Zhang tried hard to suppress his excitement and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No objection, ma'am."

"Don't worry. I can't guarantee that I'm proficient in other jobs, but I've been doing jobs like killing sheep and skinning sheep for more than ten years. I won't interfere with Madam's work."

Seeing that the other party was straightforward, Song Xile simply suggested: "In that case, I wonder if you can take us to see your sheep. After we determine the weight, we can finalize the deal!"

At this time, Old Man Zhang could no longer suppress the smile on his face. He quickly stood up and said, "That's convenient. That's convenient."

Song Xile asked her second brother to go to the stable to pull the horses, while she went to the backyard to talk to Yun You first.

As they had already discussed it yesterday, although Chen Yunyou really wanted to go with his wife, he finally endured it.

He and Qian Feng sent a few people out of Liu'er Hutong, and only until the carriage disappeared around the corner did he reluctantly let Qian Feng take them back.

Seeing his friend looking disappointed, Qian Feng couldn't help but tease, "You and your sister-in-law have such a good relationship. People say that a day without seeing each other feels like a long time. Your sister-in-law just left, why do you look so absent-minded?"

The tip of Chen Yun's right ear was slightly red. He put his hand to his lips and coughed awkwardly, "You should know that the people are living in hardship now. I'm just a little worried..."

Qian Feng patted his shoulder complacently, stopping Chen Yunyou from making amends.

Seeing his friend's eyes that said "I understand everything", Chen Yunyou didn't say anything else.

Since carriages leaving the city did not need to be checked as carefully as those entering the city, the group quickly left the city.

Chang'an sat at the shaft of the carriage and drove the cart, while Old Man Zhang sat beside him and gave him directions.

Along the way, Song Xile deliberately inquired about the situation around the city.

"Father, has your village been badly affected by the drought?"

Old man Zhang sighed when he heard this. "How can it not be heavy? Our village is remote and not close to a water source. Many ponds in the village have long been dry. A few families rely on wells for irrigation, and most people's crops in the fields are probably gone."

After hearing this, Song Xile couldn't help but sigh.

Her eyes passed through the slits in the car window, sweeping across the withered and dying crops on both sides of the road, and her mood became increasingly heavy.

A voice sounded in her mind that she should find a way to exchange more food.

But ever since she last bought vegetable seeds, she no longer faced any crisis and had been taking things as they came.

After buying bean seeds and pumpkin seeds, the points in the system are barely at the initial upgrade state.

Thinking about it this way, it’s a shame that she never took the initiative to earn points!

She communicated with Ah Li in her mind, "Ah Li, the livestock that the system raised last time may have been sold?"

Ah Li, "Host, the feeding time is too short. It's not time yet."

"If you want to redeem it now, you can, but the points you can redeem are not high!"

The reason why Song Xile placed it in the system for foster care was that she felt it was not cost-effective to redeem it now. Instead of redeeming only one or two thousand points, she might as well wait and find a way to earn more by collecting new species.

She suppressed the regret in her heart and looked at the system to see that there were only about two thousand points left.

She wants to exchange points for food, but she has a long way to go!

Although the food in the system is cheap, even if all her points were exchanged for rice, it would only be more than 2,000 kilograms.

If she redeems them all, her system will be downgraded.

This amount of food may be a lot for a family, but it would not be enough in a year of disaster.

It’s really not cost-effective to do this. It’s really not cost-effective!

Just when she was about to ask Ali if there were any other ways to quickly gain points besides recording species, the carriage suddenly stopped.

After Song An got off the carriage, he saw that his little sister hadn't moved yet, so he couldn't help but stick his head out and called out, "Xile, we're here!"

Song Xile came back to his senses from his daze, put the matter aside for the time being, and got out of the carriage.

Because Majia Village is close to the mountains, there are not many fields suitable for farming in the village. Because the village is not big, there are only about twenty households in the whole village.

The villagers saw a carriage slowly driving into the village, causing a commotion.

Everyone liked to watch the fun, so they came out of their homes and followed the carriage curiously.

Along the way, the villagers followed the carriage until it stopped.

The villagers saw a group of strangers getting off a car in front of Old Man Ma’s door, and saw the Ma family’s grandfather and grandson following among them.

He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Ma, who are these people?"

Old Man Ma did not hide it and said bluntly: "This is a guest who came to my house to pick sheep. He came to my house to buy sheep." After that, he invited the man into his home.

When the villagers saw the other party driving a horse-drawn carriage to buy sheep, they thought he must be a wealthy family.

Some people who were quick-witted immediately went home and brought over the chickens and ducks they raised at home, intending to ask the benefactor if he wanted them later.

Seeing that some people brought chickens and ducks, some people simply went home and brought a cage with four or five rabbits in it, wanting to try their luck.

Maybe you will buy it?

A group of villagers carried poultry from their homes and stood in front of Old Man Ma's house, stretching their heads and waiting for Song Xile and his group to come out.
