Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

In fact, it was not Wang Shiyu who did this. She just asked someone to give Zhang Xiuli a hint, making Zhang Xiuli think that she saw a real snake. Zhou Guichun did not do anything at all. It was just that she didn't know what she was thinking. No matter how cruel she was, she would not directly cut off someone's livelihood.

As far as Wang Shiyu knew, Second Aunt might not be able to hold up an embroidery stand in her lifetime. After all, her injured tendons and veins made her entire left hand less flexible, and she could not embroider at all.

Wang Yixian was not in a much better condition at the moment. He accidentally sprained his leg while going up the mountain to chop wood. He lost his balance and rolled down the hillside, finally hitting a tree. Fortunately, he did not break any bones, but a big bump still appeared on his foot, which made him dare not move.

As a result, he was unable to do anything during this period and could only lie in bed with Zhang Xiuli to recuperate. In fact, the only healthy people left in the family were the old man and Wang Yizhuo. Wang Yizhuo was busy serving Zhou Guichun and had no time to take care of his eldest brother's family.

Wang Shiyi has not been very happy these past two days. Not only has the food been getting worse and worse, but his mother's hand is also disabled. It seems that since the Zhangs came into the house, nothing good has happened, only disasters. He doesn't know why his uncle likes this person. How can he compare to his aunt? And his sister, he misses his sister. He doesn't want to study at home all day. He is only three years old. Who would force such a young child to start reading Thousand Character Classic?

The old man's side was not in a good situation either. The grain stores that had already reached an agreement with him now all went back on their word, and some even swallowed up the deposits that had been paid before, claiming that he had contacted criminals from the imperial court. The old man did not dare to continue reasoning with these grain stores. Those who could still open a grain store at this time all had strong backgrounds.

The old man couldn't afford to offend these people, so he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose. He didn't even dare to refute how he had come into contact with criminals of the court. After all, with just a word from them, the old man, who now had no power, could die directly in the prison of Jizhou City. It was even possible that on the day he went to prison, his body would be wrapped in a torn straw mat and brought out.

The Zhang family was not having a good time either. Although they had 20,000 trained migrant soldiers, for some reason they had been unlucky recently. It seemed that all kinds of troubles could find them. Zhou Island was a place full of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Originally when they were training well, some people would faint for unknown reasons. Now even the food supply from the Wang family was running out. The Wang family could no longer buy food. It seemed as if someone was doing this on purpose, forcing them to rebel. However, they had none of the advantages of time, place and people. If they were forced to revolt, they would most likely fail.

The weather now is a little abnormal, because the vegetable seeds and grain seeds they planted have not sprouted. It seems that the previous disasters were not illusions. You know, it is a new year now. Even if it is impossible to have a double harvest in a year, one harvest is also possible. However, the seeds planted in the ground will not sprout at all. They now have to rely on sea fish to survive, but if they keep eating sea fish instead of grain, they will not have the energy to train. If they don't train, they can't revolt.

Now because the crops in the fields are not producing, the price of grain has started to rise. Wang Shiyu was lazy, so she rented a carriage in advance and bought a lot of grain to stockpile. At that time, fine grains were not very expensive, so she bought more. Now there is no need to follow the trend to buy grain.

It's just that the seasonings were a little scarce, so I bought a lot of them, not to mention the meat. Except for those raised at home, all the animals from other places started to be slaughtered, just to eat less food and leave more for others.

Wang Shiyu took this opportunity to buy a lot of half-grown chickens and ducks and threw them into the backyard to raise them for the time being. She also took out a lot of bran from the space for the chickens and ducks to eat.

After dealing with these survivors, she started to deal with her own affairs. Ever since the old man suddenly came, she had an idea to buy a house of her own. The house here is not hers, and the title deed is in the old man's name. If the old man uses this to cause trouble, they can't do anything.

However, her current situation is a little special. Because she is too young, Wang Shiyu decided to give the newly bought house directly to Mo Ruru. Even if she is not around or something happens in the future, Mo Ruru will at least have the capital to fight against the Wang family.

In order to distance herself from the Wang family, when looking for a house, she deliberately avoided this area and went directly to the prosperous area in the east of the city. This way, even if Mo Ru Ru did some small business in the future, she would be able to support herself.

In this era, the biggest expense is renting a house. In fact, the money spent on food and drink is not much. As long as the weather is good, a person can spend half a tael of silver a month.

Some farmers can live for a year with only four or five taels of silver, which is enough to prove that if you save money, there is enough money. With the money Mo Ruru has, it is not a problem for her to live alone for a few years. In addition, with Wang Shiyu's occasional subsidies, even if Mo Ruru really leaves the Wang family, she can still live a good life, even better than being a nanny in the Wang family. After all, she has Ruirui now and she has to live well.

Buying a house is not a trivial matter. When coupled with the fact that it has to be registered under Mo Ru Ru's name, things become even more difficult. It's not that Wang Shiyu was brought with her, and the house-hunting agents were a little tired. They had already looked at more than a dozen houses, and Wang Shiyu could find many problems with each one.

Because Wang Shiyu's requirements are relatively high. She wants a house where no one has died, and it would be best if the surroundings are quiet and without any bad people. After all, Mo Ruru is just a weak woman who has lived in a life of oppression for a long time, so it is easy for her to have mental problems. The neighbors must be kind people, so that when something happens to Mo Ruru, there will be someone to lend a hand and hold on until she comes back, just like Aunt Niu.

Because of her amnesia, Mo Ru Ru was a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment and people around her. If she encountered neighbors who liked to bully others, it would be better for her not to buy the house.
