Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 193

"I've given up!" Jiang Yipei said to Jiang Suying as he got into bed. Jiang Suying said, "Yeah, I've given up too. I used to have some thoughts about it, but now it's gone."

In the evening, after Jiang Yipei came back, Jiang Suying told him in detail the content of Jiang Xiubai's "nightmare".

Jiang Yipei's first reaction was - come on, stop struggling, just live here peacefully, and you have to be more careful in the future. After all, someone is using their bodies, and even if they go back, they can only be lonely ghosts.

How can being a ghost be as comfortable as being a human?

"Old Jiang..." Jiang Suying turned sideways to face Jiang Yipei, resting her face on her palms: "What do you think is the reason for this? Our family members with the same name and surname from ancient times to the present have been replaced, and this happened when the world is about to fall into chaos.

Do you think that this ancient family is a reincarnation of good people for ten lifetimes, and God couldn't bear to see them suffer, so he sent us here to suffer for them?

Could it be that there really are sons and daughters of good fortune in this world? They must have accumulated virtue for several lifetimes to have God arrange a cannon fodder family for them?"

Jiang Yipei: “…”

He also turned sideways to Jiang Suying and said, "Wife, your imagination is so scary. Did Xiaobai and Xiaomi read novels to you again?"

Jiang Suying shook her head: "I don't have time to read during this period."

When they were in Yunling Mountain, the two little ones were bored and would often read printed online novels to her while she was working. Originally, she didn't think about it in this way, but it just happened that Jiang Xiubai returned to the modern era, and she now summarized it based on the so-called novel routines.

"But we can't rule out this possibility!"

"It is possible, but according to your imagination, everything we do now and all the results we get are for the original owner's family. How pitiful are we? We have suffered, we have been tired, we have overcome all difficulties, and we are living a happy life. But suddenly one day, there is a creak and we return to the modern world. I will really be sick to death!

It's like the fruit tree I planted, the fruits are about to ripen and be picked, but I died and someone came to pick them for me. If I had the conditions, I would definitely want to resurrect! Those who pick my fruits, those who eat my fruits, I will bite them to death one by one!"

Jiang Suying: "I think I can cheat too!"

Who wouldn’t go crazy?

"Actually, there is another way!"

"Ok?"

"Let's just ignore it and live a life of luxury until the disaster is over. Then when the original owner's family comes back, we can go back to modern times and continue our life! This way, we'll be a little more lonely and won't have to suffer like we do now. Oh my god, my legs have become thin from running around these past few days."

Jiang Yipei kicked his legs.

"Your idea is even more terrifying!" Jiang Suying's eyes widened, "You just said you had given up! Are you going to give up again? I just discussed with you the possibility, but it doesn't mean it will really happen. What if it's not true, where will our family survive? How can we really survive forever? Every day I think about why I haven't put it back on, and I look forward to it day and night, but there is no real hope. Let alone surviving for a lifetime, it would be hard to survive for even a year!

I just had a sudden thought and made a random assumption. We still have to live our lives normally. If we want to replace it again, just treat it as a thought. Even if we can't go back, we can live well here. If we go back, we can live well there. After all, we live our own lives. "

"You're almost confusing me with all this life. To put it bluntly, let's just treat the time travel as a game. The natural disasters we're experiencing now are just like fighting monsters. If we can kill the big boss in the end, maybe God will replace us with our family! If not, we won't lose out, after all, the big boss has been eliminated."

"You are really smart." Jiang Suying reached out and touched Jiang Yipei's hair, which was thicker than hers.

"With the amount of hair I have now, it's impossible to have a perfect hair. Okay, okay, let's go to sleep. If you're not tired yet, continue with your wild imagination. I'm going to sleep anyway, ha--" Jiang Yipei yawned and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt. If it weren't for the charcoal fire in the clinic that was kept burning day and night and the moderate temperature in the room, Jiang Yipei would not be able to fall asleep without a kang.

Yawning is not an infectious disease, but it is much more serious than an infectious disease. Jiang Suying saw Jiang Yipei yawning and she yawned too, tears streaming down her face: "Go to sleep."

"These days are really tiring." Jiang Yipei closed his eyes: "I really despise myself. I am annoyed by these things, but I can't help but take on these things! This reminds me that when we were preparing for the disaster, there were also a lot of things to do every day, and we were so tired that we couldn't even lift our hands every day."

"Get well soon, let's all cheer for each other!" Jiang Suying propped herself up and kissed Jiang Yipei. Her husband was a little lazy, but he was really kind.

Jiang Yipei smiled and wanted to say something, but his eyes moved but couldn't open. His mouth also moved and finally he fell asleep.

Jiang Suying tucked the quilt in for him and closed her eyes. She was very busy throughout the day.

"Take a walk and have a look. Cotton is sold at a low price!"

"Twenty-five cents a pound of cotton. Twenty-five cents won't make you lose money or get cheated. This is the price after the subsidy from our county magistrate. It's not available every day, and not everyone can afford it!"

“Buy ten pounds and get one pound free. Buy one pound and get one pound less! Be quick and you will get it. If you hesitate, you will lose!”

"Come back and ask when it's sold out. It won't be out of stock! We won't restock it! We only have so much in stock, so you'll make a profit if you buy it!"

Several young men were standing in front of the shop opposite Baicaotang, waving red flags and shouting.

Shouted over and over again.

Many people came out of Baicao Hall, listened at the door, and talked with those nearby.

"What are you shouting?"

"It seems like you are selling something?"

"I've seen a lot of cars parked in front of that house every day, moving things in and out?"

"Did you see what was being moved?"

"No, there's a car blocking the view."

"Cotton! I heard cotton!"

"Cotton? It's a good thing! But it's too expensive! The cotton-padded clothes at home are no longer warm after years of wearing them, and we are reluctant to buy some new cotton. But who knew it would snow this winter! If I had known earlier, I would have bought some no matter how expensive it was, otherwise my son Shitou wouldn't have been frostbitten! Hey, did you hear how much it costs per pound? If it's still seventy - no, I'll buy it even if it's eighty-one pounds! No matter how hard life is, I can't let my children suffer!"

"Then I'm going to buy some! Lord Jiang said that we have to return the cotton-padded jackets we're wearing now. I'm afraid I can't bear to wear that tattered jacket after wearing such a warm cotton-padded jacket!"

"I would like to buy it, but it's too expensive. In previous years, it cost 70 wen per jin before the snow fell. And now, it's impossible to buy it without 100 wen!"

"No, no, listen carefully, I think I heard it was 25 cents per pound!"

"Duo Shao?! Twenty-five cents? You must have heard it wrong!"

"Did I hear it wrong? I heard it was also twenty-five cents!"

“………”There was silence in Baicao Hall for a moment.

Someone asked Jiang Xiumian: "Master Jiang, do you know whose shop that is over there? Is the cotton sold there 25 yuan per pound?"

“Yes!” Jiang Xiumian said, “The shop over there is rented by my father. It sells cotton and cloth, as well as other daily necessities such as oil and salt. If you buy ten kilograms of cotton, you get one kilogram free. But I heard that there is not much stock—Hey, hey, hey, be careful! Hey, you can’t let your legs get frozen, come back quickly, if you want to rob them, let your family members do it!!”

He rushed out of the counter and wanted to catch the person back, but he didn't even touch the corner of their clothes. He could only look at their backs and stopped.

It was too crazy. Except for those who could not walk anymore, everyone else, whether patients or their families, almost burst the door of Baicaotang. A swarm of people rushed to the opposite side, and the threshold of the shop opposite was almost lowered by two inches.

The shop was rented by Lord Jiang, which meant that the cotton sold at 25 cents per pound was definitely not fake!

Buy ten kilos and get one kilo free!

Two hundred and fifty coins to buy eleven catties of cotton!!!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

You have to know that in the winter without snow, two hundred and eighty cents only buy four kilograms!

If the price is this now, the whole family can buy a cotton coat without spending too much money!

What are you waiting for!

Grab it!

“Queue, queue, queue!”

Jiang Xiubin tried his best to maintain order, but it didn't work. In the end, Jiang Xiaomi yelled, "If you don't queue up, we won't sell it!!!"

In an instant, the team was formed in a second. Some people didn't hear it, and some people hadn't reacted yet, but they were immediately grabbed by the people next to them and stuffed behind them. Although the people behind had some opinions, they didn't say anything.

No one wants to delay buying cheap cotton because of such a small matter, even though there is a risk that the last pound will be bought by the person in front.

The rather large shop opposite Baicaotang was naturally rented by Jiang Yipei. The owner of the shop thought that they could not open the shop for business now, so he had no objection to Jiang Yipei renting the shop. He even wanted to give Jiang Yipei a good deal and not ask for rent.

Jiang Yipei was not such a person. He did not agree and even tried to argue for a long time. After hearing that Jiang Yipei was going to sell cotton cloth and other items at a discount to the people, the shop owner immediately donated some items, saying that he wanted to do his part to help the victims.

Jiang Yipei certainly would not refuse, and he spread the news widely. His main targets were the servants of the wealthy families who had been hiding in the dark to gather information these days. He wanted to make sure that the exaggerated news reached their ears and then let them pass it back to their masters.

What was originally proposed to do by using County Magistrate Chen's name as a banner can now be implemented, because Lord Chen replied in the letter saying "yes".

When the wealthy families learned that Zhao Sheng's family and the shop owners had donated money and materials and were promised by County Magistrate Chen to have a monument engraved on their merits, they could no longer sit still. This led to the scene of supplies being transported to the shops that the patients at Baicaotang saw.

The shop owners donated, and they also donated, and they donated more than him!

Jiang Yipei accepted all donations and registered them all into the warehouse. He recorded the names and the quantities of materials in great detail, even down to the weight of "money". Later, the wealthy families learned another piece of news - the person who donated the most would be the first on the monument of merit!

As a result, the rich also started to roll in, and Jiang Yipei's small shop started to get richer, and finally opened today! !

Isn’t it said that the power of the masses is great!

In just a few days, several batches of donated supplies were enough to help half of the town's victims.

The original shopkeeper was Jiang Xiubai, who was used to the job, but he was not in the mood, had no way to promote the business, and did not have the energy to receive guests, so Jiang Xiubin, Jiang Xiugao and two other young boys were transferred back.

Someone in the queue couldn't wait to ask, "Is cotton really 25 yuan a pound? Buy 10 pounds and get 1 pound free? Buy 20 pounds and get 2 pounds free?"

Jiang Xiubin: "Yes——"

"I want ten pounds!"

"I want twenty pounds!"

"I want 20 kilograms too!"

The word "yes" made people crazy. The whole team was boiling with excitement. They were just about to stuff the money into the arms of these guys!

"Qiangqiang-"

Jiang Xiaomi took out a gong from somewhere and struck it hard: "Calm down!"

Jiang Xiubin stood up when he saw that the team was no longer in a commotion. "It's true that cotton is 25 yuan per catty, and it's also true that you get one catty for free for every 10 catties you buy, but each household can only buy 30 catties of cotton, which means you can get 3 catties for free if you buy 30 catties! You can also get 1.5 catties for free if you buy 15 catties! You can get 2.5 catties for free if you buy 25 catties! But if you buy 12 catties, you can only get one catty for free, there's no 120 catties for free."

"Got it! Can we go in and buy it now?"

"You haven't finished yet!" Jiang Xiubin took a step back and motioned Jiang Xiugao to go up. Although Danniu was a carefree kid in the village, he was still a little nervous when he saw so many strangers. He swallowed his saliva several times before he even opened his mouth.

Jiang Xiubin patted his shoulder.

"I have two points. First, you must have a household registration to buy cotton. Those without household registration must go back and get it before they can buy it! Second, to buy things in our shop, you have to help the town work. There is no salary for the work, but three meals a day are provided. Only those who have both of these points can buy cotton at the price of 25 coins per pound. It is not mandatory. Everyone should think carefully before buying."

"Oh! Little brother, my daughter was in an emergency and we came here by car. I forgot to bring the household registration! Can I buy it and then take the household registration to register?"

"I'm sorry, uncle, you can't do that!"

"Well, well, what should I do when I get home and sell all the cotton?"

"You can tell me your household registration information, and I will register it for you and reserve the quantity you want to buy for you, waiting for you to bring your household registration here."

"Okay, okay! Then I'm relieved. I'll go home and get it now!"

"Uncle, wait a minute, about signing up for work..."

"Report it, I will report it!"

"Don't you want to ask what kind of work you do?"

"I can do any job. If I really don't know how to do it, I will learn it!"
