Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

But after hearing about Mr. Liu's story, she still decided to check it out.

The main reason is that things are too chaotic. We can't just passively accept every little thing that happens. It's not that we don't have the ability to investigate, but we just don't take it seriously. If.........................

She looked at Mr. Liu thoughtfully. Forget it, it was just her idea.

At the same time, none of the recipes in Wang Shiyu's dowry were wasted. They were all used by Yu Xiuming for investment and opening shops. At the same time, Wang Shiyu's own piggy bank was becoming more and more full.

Yu Xiuming is truly a business genius with a sharp brain. Ever since he opened a shop in Jizhou City, he has taken over almost all the business in Jizhou City, from restaurants and ferries to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is nothing that Yu Xiuming does not get involved in.

Not to mention the surrounding cities, Yu Xiuming had a hand in almost everything that he could get involved in. In fact, the bigger his business grew, the more relaxed he became. All his dissatisfaction came from the bad business. As long as he was busy, he had no time to complain.

I took a bite of the watermelon my mother gave me. This watermelon grown in the sand is so sweet.

At the same time, this watermelon has been all the rage in Jizhou City for a while. It has been in short supply during this period of time. The main reason is that the watermelons are slow to come down and transportation is difficult. So the situation in Jizhou City is still okay, but the situation in other places is not so good.

Not to mention that Yu Xiuming packed it and shipped it directly to other places. Now cement roads have been built everywhere, so it is still possible to transport it. It’s just that the speed is a bit slow and it cannot be bumpy, otherwise it will crack directly and easily break.

You know, the watermelons used to have white flesh and were not very sweet, but the watermelons grown on this sandy land are big, sweet, bright red, juicy and delicious.

It already looks like a modern watermelon. Maybe because there is no pollution here, this watermelon tastes better than the modern ones. Even the sweetness has been increased. There is no pesticide residue at all. It is quite delicious.

In order to make it easier for her to eat, Mo Ru Ru cut it into small pieces, chilled it with ice cubes at the bottom, and put a fork on top, making it particularly convenient to eat.

So it tastes very good when eaten. Not only is it icy and crunchy, but the sweetness is not greasy as if it was injected with saccharin. It just has a refreshing feeling. The most outrageous thing now is that this watermelon can be sold for twenty taels of silver each, and it is still in short supply here, which surprised Yu Xiuming.

Because when the price of the watermelon was set at twenty taels of silver, Wang Shiyu looked at him as if he was a profiteer. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that when it was actually put into practice, it would be so smooth. Some people even felt that the price he set was too low, so it sold so quickly. If the price was higher, more good people would be able to buy more than these.

I also heard that after the sports meeting in Jinling City these few days, people were buying watermelons for fifty taels of silver each. However, after the watermelons are ripe, they are very easy to be bumped and broken if they are hit. This is why the price of watermelons in Jinling City has been rising, and they are even out of stock. Isn't it that they are urging Yu Xiuming to transport them quickly, and they are all waiting for that.

In fact, the watermelons nowadays are different from the ones in the future. The main reason is that even the people in high positions have never tasted such sweet and granulated watermelons. Even the better fruits are rarely tasted. Even lychees are not very sweet, but sour.

After eating the watermelon, she watched little Ruirui study for a while and then she realized that Master Liu had a very upset look on his face. She glanced away and probably understood.

The thing that is bothering Master Liu now must be related to his daughter. It shouldn’t be his daughter, it should be his niece.

You have to know that Master Liu works so hard to make money, not only because he has to pay for his current wife's medical treatment, but more importantly, his daughter's expenses are too high. If he doesn't work hard to make money, he can't afford the family expenses at all. Even though Wang Shiyu paid a high fee, he still taught children in schools and acted as a teacher. He would only come to the Mo family after class to teach Ruirui to read and write. He was very busy every day, not at all as free and easy as when they first met.

But even though life is so difficult, his current wife and daughter have never asked for help. Instead, they still only know how to ask him for money every day. They even start to turn their backs on him when they don't get any money. I don't know where he gets the nerve to turn his back on his God of Wealth.

Sometimes I feel speechless when I see Wang Shiyu. Even though her mother is like a dodder, she is now able to work hard to earn money on her own. Even if she doesn’t earn much, it’s better than asking for money directly.

Even during the hard times, his mother never asked for money directly. Of course, it could also be because Wang Shiyu had never lacked money from Mo Ruru. Usually, before Mo Ruru asked, she would give the money directly to Mo Ruru. She would even arrange everything at home, whether it was Ruirui or Mo Ruru's life, even the needle and thread at home were bought by Wang Shiyu herself.

"Master Liu, come and have some watermelon. Zichuan brought this over just this morning. It's very sweet."

Looking at the man standing at the door in a daze, Wang Shiyu called him directly and asked him to come over, eat some watermelon together and relax. This kind of thing can only be adjusted by Master Liu himself. He knows very well what kind of people his wife and daughter are. Even the situation at home, no one can help. It depends on whether Master Liu can let go of things by himself. Otherwise, there will be no end to supporting a family of vampires.

No one can help him in this kind of situation, especially his wife and daughter who have been brainwashed by a man outside. If he is not the one being taken advantage of, then who is?

Even though he had been a victim from the very beginning, the injustice was not so obvious yet. However, it seems to have become very obvious recently, and even they already know about it. You know, Wang Shiyu has not been here for a long time, but he has already discovered this problem, so he knows what their neighbors will talk about.

Mr. Liu glanced at Wang Shiyu who was leisurely eating watermelon and was speechless for a moment. To be honest, his apprentice was really a capable person. Not only could he earn money to support his family, but he also managed his own affairs in an orderly manner and would not let his life become a mess. He was much better than him as a master. He slowly came to the chair next to Wang Shiyu and sat down. He took a small fork and poked a piece of watermelon on the plate in front of him. The watermelon in it was indeed very sweet.

It has been a long time since I have lived such a leisurely life. Ever since my daughter got engaged, it seems that the family's money is becoming increasingly tight. However, Wang Shiyu receives a salary of more than one hundred taels of silver every year, plus the salary from the school, it is actually not low. His annual income is about two or three hundred taels of silver, which is already very good compared to other families. But in recent years, he can no longer afford good food.

"This watermelon tastes really good, and is well worth the price. What's the matter with you suddenly calling me?"

Wang Shiyu looked at Master Liu who was not polite to her at all, and smiled instantly. When she knew nothing, it was Master Liu who taught her to understand the world step by step, told her the words in the world, and what people should do, completely replacing the responsibilities of a father. He even noticed that her emotions were not right and slowly helped her regulate her emotions. Otherwise, she would not be so cheerful now.

After all, it is very rare for a person who has witnessed natural disasters, man-made tragedies, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and who is almost depressed, to be so peaceful. So in Wang Shiyu's heart, Master Liu is no different from her own father.

"Nothing, I just heard from my mother that something happened to your sister. Is there anything wrong? Do you need me to ask Zichuan to help you deal with it?"

Mr. Liu paused for a moment while eating the watermelon, but did not say anything. In fact, he really wanted to deal with this son-in-law, but he did not want to disturb his apprentice. After all, this matter had nothing to do with his apprentice.

No matter how capable your apprentice is, you cannot force him to do something he doesn't like.

His family was like a thorn in his side. He really didn't like to contact or try to reconcile with them anymore. As for his wife and daughter, let them do whatever they wanted. He didn't want to meddle in their affairs anymore. He also gave up communicating with his cousin. He used to be wary of all the women who approached him, but now he has started to teach his daughter to be more careful with people around his son-in-law. It was suffocating.

She had even said long ago that she only felt sympathy for her cousin, that he already had a lover and would never like anyone else, but his cousin still monitored him like crazy, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Don't worry about them. If you do, they'll easily blame you. We can't let Zichuan's good child be blamed again."
