The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub
Chapter 36 Return to the Village
Before he could finish his words, Chen blocked his mouth, "Mother gave you this stupid mouth, not for you to use to offend your sister. Drink your milk tea, and don't talk too much."
This child was taught before not to show his emotions on his face, and to try not to speak when he is not sure whether he should or not. It seems that he has failed in the end.
He is a complete idiot who can't understand what others are saying.
"Mother, didn't you say before that you would protect Miss Yun? Why didn't you let Hu San and the others protect her? That county magistrate is so infuriating that he actually dared to go against our Hu family! Mother, how about sending someone to rush back to the capital to get Miss Yun a proper treatment so that she can enter the capital as soon as possible?"
He's really a chatterbox.
There is a Miss Yun on the left and a Miss Yun on the right.
It turns out that one should not underestimate country women.
"We have sent people to protect Miss Yun, don't worry, Jing'er." Chen patted her silly son's hand, signaling him to rest assured.
Just be perfunctory for now.
She is just a quirky little girl. After a long time, Jing'er will encounter other new things and naturally forget about this little girl.
What she had to do was to reduce this girl's presence.
Five hundred miles away in Cangzhou, five lines of people dressed in black and covered with black scarves were marching in unison through the mountains and forests like a well-trained army. There were so many of them that it was impossible to see the end of the team at a glance, as if it was endless.
These mysterious men in black were silent, leaving only a series of light footsteps echoing in the air, revealing a frightening atmosphere. Each of them was tall and straight, with a strong and agile posture, and was obviously a veteran of many battles.
They held various weapons in their hands, some of which were extremely sharp, and some of which were hidden secrets, but without exception, they all emitted a cold light. In this quiet forest, this group of black-clad masked men stood out, making people wonder what their purpose was.
At this moment, no one knows how much change this group of people will bring to the current situation in the future.
At the same time, Yunli looked at the new look in his yard and was very satisfied.
The courtyard wall was doubled in height to about 3.5 meters. Yunli stood under the wall and stretched out his hand, but could not reach half of it.
"There is enough sunlight during the day, and the bricks are drying faster than usual. The house only needs a roof to be completed."
Yun Daqiang was busy while explaining to Yunli.
In the past, it was impossible to build the walls and houses so quickly. It was because Yunli had a lot of money. If the wages were sufficient, it would be the same if 100 people finished the work in two days or 10 people finished the work in 20 days.
Making mud bricks is not a technical job. A large group of men, women, young and old can work together to finish all the work in one day.
"This room is just like a cowshed. Just make a thatched roof." Yunli waved his hand and said nothing more. "Uncle Qiangzi, you go ahead. I'm going to look for the clan leader."
"Girl, wait a minute!"
Yun Daqiang patted the dust off his hands, hesitated for a while and then said: "Your aunt came back from her parents' home yesterday and said that the world has been a bit chaotic recently, and there have been several robberies on the road outside the town. Girl, listen to your uncle's advice. Although the people in the village may say harsh words, they are not bad people. In this world, you should try to come back. It is safer for everyone to live together. Your ox cart is conspicuous, and you are a girl, so you should be more careful."
Yunli nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Qiang, I will be careful."
When she found him again at the old patriarch's house, the old man seemed a little impatient and waved her over. "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"
Yunli didn't answer, but was a little curious, "Why am I the troublemaker in grandpa's eyes?"
"Why not? Look at you, you have such a bad temper and cannot stand even the slightest bit of grievance. You are definitely a troublemaker."
Yunli disagreed with this view, "If we didn't work hard to protect ourselves, our family of four would have starved to death."
The old patriarch did not argue with her, but just tapped Yunli's shoes with his cane. "When your mother passed away, so many people in the village helped her. Your family owed several taels of silver, and the village watched you starve to death and let those taels of silver become a bad debt? You ruined your reputation just to fight for a breath of air. Why bother?"
Yunli waved his hands. "Reputation is neither good for food nor clothes. It's like having the words 'easy to be bullied' carved on your forehead. Everyone wants to step on you. What's the point of having it?"
"Your brother is already like this, and you are like this again. Never mind, your siblings are still young. I think your reputation as a tough guy won't have much of an impact on them in a dozen years. But you must remember not to teach your siblings to be bad."
Yunli curled his lips, too lazy to argue with the old man.
As for her younger siblings, she would naturally teach them well and teach them to be able to protect themselves.
"Grandpa, I'm not here to argue with you today. The price of grain in town has more than doubled. I think the harvest here won't be very good. Please decide whether to buy or sell grain and warn the villagers."
"The price has increased again?"
"New rice is ten cents, old rice is eight cents, I don't know how much it has increased."
"Oh no! New rice was only 8 cents yesterday, but things are going to change!" The old man frowned, worried, "Your house is almost finished, you should move back in the next two days. It's not safe in town anymore!"
After waving his hand to tell Yunli to leave quickly, the old patriarch turned around and stared at the puppy in the yard, watching it chasing its tail.
In the clouds???
Are you okay, old man?
Is it more important to play with dogs than to have the weather change?
The problem is that the dog wasn’t playing with him, it was just playing by itself!
It’s true, there is no decent person in this village!
But since the yard at home is almost built and she can't stay in the town, she can indeed consider coming back.
First, she went to the grain store to buy another 100 kilograms of glutinous rice. Considering that her own ox cart could not carry so much food, she asked the store to help deliver the rice and flour she had bought earlier to the village. Then she sorted out the belongings of the rented place, and finally asked Aunt Lanhua to help leave a message for the craftsman who made straw mats and hand over the key to the courtyard to the dealer. Yunli then returned to the village with her brothers and sisters.
In the yard, Yun Daqiang asked as he helped unload the grain, "Rice is so expensive now, why are you buying so much?"
Yunli looked at Uncle Qiang with a meaningful look, "Uncle Qiang, the price of rice and flour has increased for a reason. My family has been hungry for the past few months, so we want to save enough food for at least two years. If we don't buy more now, what if the price of food doesn't come down in one or two years, and keeps rising? Wouldn't we have to spend more money then?"
Yun Daqiang shook his head in disapproval, but didn't say anything else.
It was understandable that a little girl less than ten years old, who suddenly had money in her hands and was afraid of being hungry, bought more food.
Never mind, after all, the whole family can eat all the food, so I still reminded him, "Be careful when storing rice and flour, be careful of moisture, or the rice will go bad if it gets infested with insects."
