She just had to wait for that wild woman to fall into her trap.

However, what Song Yu didn't expect was that she knew that woman. She was the one who came to her house to report the news and drink water, and who had long harbored ill intentions towards her second brother.

In October, a drizzle was falling in the streets and alleys of Changshu County. The rain scene looked pretty good. Song Yu lay in the room, watching the rapids in the river with his consciousness.

After it rained for several weeks, floods occurred in many places. The court paid special attention to it and sent relief food and soldiers to fight the floods.

This was the first time that Song Yu had seen such a large number of female soldiers. Not only were they all tall, they were also good-looking, and the muscular bodies were comparable to her mother's.

However, the female official who was sent down seemed to know Mo Jiang. She glanced at Mo Jiang in the crowd and quickly looked away, but this did not escape Song Yu's discerning eyes.

There were many people watching the excitement. The rapids had submerged the bottom of the bridge and were about to overflow. People living in low-lying areas had already suffered. Song Xin and Mo Jiang, led by Chang Wei, stood on a high place to watch the flood.

"What's so great about this? It's better to go to your house and eat more jerky."

Mo Jiang complained a little.

Song Xin ignored his complaints. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the rapids. This was the first time he saw the water rising. There had never been a flood in his hometown, Luoshan Village, and it rarely rained.

The main thing is that it's strange, as if this country bumpkin has never been to the city.

There are many landslides and it looks like the rain will not stop.

Song Yu frowned. Usually, a virus would break out after a flood, which is what people call a plague.

She is not afraid of her family, but she is afraid of those ignorant people causing trouble and disrupting the rare peace.

By November, the rain stopped, but a blizzard followed. This year's natural disaster was particularly severe.

Every household was busy cleaning up the snow in front of their own door. Famine was spreading everywhere, and everyone in the county was extra cautious and vigilant.

Pan Xiaofu never opened the shop again. After settling the girl's wages, he closed the shop and embroidered clothes at home.

Overnight, the price of firewood and charcoal in the city skyrocketed. Rich families had no shortage of charcoal, but most of the poor civilians tried to go out as little as possible, and the whole family huddled together in dilapidated houses to keep warm.

Song Yu's family prepared a lot of charcoal, and there was also some sent by the Wu family, so this severe winter was not a threat at all.

The students of Bailu Academy suffered a lot. Not only was the academy located in the windward side, but the surrounding mountains were quite high and the temperature was also several degrees lower than other places.

Every time Chang Feng came home, his lips turned purple due to the cold. Chang Wei thought that he was too weak, so when the others were on vacation, Chang Wei would take care of them as much as she could.

God is cruel and natural disasters are merciless. A group of beggars in the county town died of cold, including men, women, young and old, and some even starved to death.

In December, there were almost no people walking on the streets, and the vegetable market was full of people. Everyone was looking at the grain shops and some vegetables and fruits.

The Wu family has many grain shops, and this year's harvest was exceptionally good under Song Yi's management, but Wu Wenxuan did not sell any of it.

"Wenxuan, don't we sell food?"

Song Yi looked at Wu Wenxuan with some confusion. Their granary had a lot of grain, but Wenxuan closed all the grain.

"Sister Yi, you can't sell it. This grain is very useful. Just wait and wait for my grandmother's notice."

Wu Wenxuan did not explain too much. Talking about politics with Song Yi? It would be better to let her go to the field to dig some soil!

The Song Yu family had so much food and vegetables that they could not finish eating them. They were so generous that not only did Chang Wei benefit from it, but even Wei Yuan did not want to leave the Song family.

What a blessing this is! She'd be happy if she ran ten more laps.

"Bump bump..."

When there was a knock on the door, Chang Wei never asked any questions and just opened the door. If she started fighting, don't blame her, because swords have no eyes.

Zhu Jie stood in front of the door somewhat nervously. He really had no other choice. In his opinion, Ma Taozhi's family must have food.

His daughter married the grandson of a wealthy man. There were two scholars in the family. Many people gave him money in order to marry Song Jushu, a juren. He didn't believe that the Song family had no money.

"Who are you looking for?"

Chang Wei asked.

"I...I'm looking for Taozhi, Ma Taozhi."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to go into the house, but was blocked outside by Chang Wei's tall and mighty figure.

Chang Wei felt a little unhappy. This person wanted to sneak into someone else's house without the owner's consent. He must not be a good person.

"Wait a minute, I'll go call the master out."

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed the door, went to the backyard, found her husband and told him what had happened.

Huang Xiaorui knocked on Ma Taozhi's door, and Ma Taozhi opened the door without asking.

"Brother Taozhi, there is a boy named Zhu Jie at the door looking for you. He said he has something to tell you."

Huang Xiaorui conveyed Chang Wei's words word for word, and saw Ma Taozhi's face froze, then she closed the door and went to the front door.

Chang Wei opened the door. Zhu Jie felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Ma Taozhi dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. Moreover, the clothes looked expensive, and he also wanted a dress made of such good fabric.

"What do you find me for?"

Ma Taozhi didn't even call him by his name, and acted like a complete stranger. This made Zhu Jie very angry. What a stingy person! He even thought he was good to him, so he came to borrow food from him.

But in order to survive, he still spoke.

"Taozhi, can you lend me some food? I have several people in my family, and there is no food to buy right now. I really have no other choice but to come to you."

Ma Taozhi didn't expect this man to be so thick-skinned. The two of them had obviously broken up, but he still had the nerve to come and borrow food. Such magnanimity made him feel ashamed of himself.

"No, I don't have enough food at home, where can I lend you food?"

After Ma Taozhi finished speaking, she turned around and left without even looking at his ugly face. Chang Wei slammed the door shut.

"Tsk! You said you were borrowing, but you're just trying to take advantage of me. And you said you have no grain to sell? Aren't the three grain stores of Mr. Lu open?"

Chang Wei spoke very loudly, and as she was a martial artist, her voice was deep and powerful.

Zhu Jie's face looked extremely ugly, and he walked away unwillingly, looking back every few steps. He had no choice but to go to the Lu's grain shop in the county town to buy grain. Normally, he could buy 100 kilograms of grain for ten taels of silver, but now there were only 40 kilograms of grain, which was half the amount, okay?

But there is no other way. If you don’t buy it, you will starve to death. How can people in the county town have land? Even if there are fields in the countryside, some people will starve to death.

However, his wife had a job, so he gritted his teeth and took out ten taels of silver.

For a man like him who had done hard work, carrying 40 kilograms of food home was not a big deal, but he was afraid that it would be robbed along the way.

Carrying the food, he walked very fast, but he didn't expect that halfway through, he was surrounded by several children.

Looking at the skinny child, he became very alert and shouted loudly.

"What do you want to do? Get out of the way."

There was something vicious in his look of disdain.

But those children were not afraid at all. They were almost starving to death, so who would care about anything else? So several children looked at the food on his back with green eyes.
