Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

After Village Chief Ma distributed the silver, he also told everyone that Xia Shengsheng would sell black noodles and brown rice to everyone at the price of ten cents.

This made everyone in the village very excited.

This price seems like a bargain to them.

After all, it is sold at 30 wen per pound outside, and the price may increase in the future.

So I think everyone should use the money they have to buy as much as they can.

However, Village Chief Ma also told everyone that there were only more than 2000 kilograms in total. If everyone wanted to buy them all, it would be best to distribute them equally according to the population.

Otherwise, if you buy it and he doesn't, there will be trouble again.

The villagers are all sensible and always listen to Village Chief Ma on these matters.

So Village Chief Ma doesn't have to worry about it. Everyone can calculate on their own how much food each household can buy at most.

On the second day, almost everyone gathered at Xia Shengsheng's house with silver.

Xia Shengsheng asked his family to help weigh the grain for everyone, as more people would make the work faster.

In less than one morning, almost every family had bought some food to take back.

However, there are still more than 2000 kilograms of food left.

Even if it's ten cents per pound, it would be a considerable amount if you buy a lot.

Most people used the unexpected money to buy food.

There was indeed not much money left at home, so some people would add some to buy more food, but the most a family bought was only 300 kilograms.

Some people only bought a few dozen kilograms.

Xia Shengsheng also told the villagers that if there was any remaining food, anyone could come to her if they wanted to buy some.

Everyone was very grateful for this.

The girl who was rescued before stayed at Village Chief Ma’s house for several days.

She refused to say which village she was from, and Village Chief Ma became a little anxious.

They don't even know the girl, and they can't just support her for no reason!

If there is one more person, the family will have to eat less food and drink less water, which is something no one wants.

After all, their relatives were living in other villages, and no matter how bad the situation was, they did not ask to bring them to live with them.

What’s more, she is a girl who has no relatives or friends and whom I don’t even know.

The sisters-in-law of the Ma family and the Ma second family tried to dissuade the girl one after another, hoping that she could tell them which village she was from.

So that I can send it back to her.

But every time I talked too much, the girl would sit there and cry bitterly, and would not answer any more questions.

This left the two of them at a loss.

So I specifically asked Xia Shengsheng for help, hoping that Xia Shengsheng could give me some advice.

Xia Shengsheng never expected that after rescuing the man with good intentions, he would end up adding a burden to Village Chief Ma's family.

At the beginning, the girl didn't say which village she was from or what her name was.

Xia Shengsheng thought she was too scared to speak.

But after such a long time, the girl was living and eating for free at Village Chief Ma's house, but she had no intention of going home at all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this guy is trying to take advantage!

I guess he wanted to save food for his family, and seeing that every family in the mountain village is much richer than people outside, he wanted to stay here.

"It's my fault. I was the one who saved the person. I'm sorry for causing trouble to your family!" Xia Shengsheng said embarrassedly.

In fact, on the next day, Xia Shengsheng wanted to take the girl to her home.

However, Village Chief Ma said that although it was Xia Shengsheng who saved the man, after all, he came to their village, and it would not be good for him, as the village chief, to do nothing.

Anyway, she couldn't stay at his place for long. When the girl was no longer so scared, he would ask someone to send her back, so he didn't let Xia Shengsheng take her.

"Sister Xia, what are you talking about? How can you be blamed? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You saved her, she should be grateful to you.

But you see, these days he has been hiding in the guest room of my house, and he never comes out until mealtime, and he hasn't even said a word of thanks.

He is obviously an ungrateful person. Who would have thought that I would save such an ungrateful person? "

"That's right. No one wants to hear her words of thanks without telling her. But in this world, no one is rich. You can just tell her home address as soon as she has rested. We will send someone to escort her back."

What's going on now? Do you want to stay in someone else's house forever?"

The two sisters-in-law of the Ma family complained one after another, but their complaints were only about the girl they didn't even know and had nothing to do with Xia Shengsheng!

If they had the ability to do so and encountered the same situation as Xia Shengsheng, they would also save the girl.

It all depends on the person being rescued.

How can you blame the one who saved the life?

"Oh! I didn't expect that either! I have two ideas, listen to them!"

Xia Shengsheng suddenly thought of two solutions. The Ma family sisters-in-law sat there and listened carefully!

"First, let me take him to my house again, so I don't have to trouble you anymore!"

Before the second point was said, Ma Dajia disagreed with the first one.

"Please don't do that, Sister Xia. Your family is better off. Even if that girl really came to your house, it's impossible for her to want to leave. You can't take the blame!"

Ma Erjia also nodded.

They all really wanted to do good for Xia Shengsheng, so they did not agree to this proposal.

Xia Shengsheng felt very comforted seeing the two people caring so much about her.

Indeed, although she had no shortage of food and drink, she only gave it to those who were willing to give it to her.

She actually doesn't want to get involved with people like this who only want to take advantage of others.

"If this doesn't work, I have another way!" Xia Shengsheng said.

"What method?" The two sisters-in-law of the Ma family stared at Xia Shengsheng intently, both wanting to hear what the second method was.

"The best way is to do it drastically. Just kick her out of the village, close the gate, and let her do whatever she wants outside!

She can't hold out for two days. If everyone ignores her, she has no food or water, and it's cold at night, she will definitely give up and run back home."

Although this is a bit drastic, but when facing this kind of person, if you don't act drastic, she will be like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to you and you can't get rid of her no matter how hard you try!

"Will it be unsafe for her as a girl walking on the street?" Ma Erjia was still a little worried.

"Are you still worried about her safety? If she stays here, it won't be her who's unsafe! Maybe it's either my guy or your guy!"

Ma Er's family was confused by what was said. Xia Shengsheng heard that there was also a melon to eat, so he sat there with questions in his eyes.

When Mr. Ma saw them like this, he sighed, smiled and shook his head.

"Sister Xia is not an outsider, so I will speak frankly."

Xia Shengsheng sat there and talked quietly.

The Ma family's master suddenly pointed his finger at the Ma family's master.

"You! What can I say about you?

Didn’t you see that every time we had a meal, the girl would use her eyes to flirt with the men from our two families?

Even if you didn't notice this, yesterday during dinner, your child suddenly said to the child, "Why are you stepping on him?"

The child was confused by the question, and I saw something wrong in the girl's eyes.

Isn't this obvious? He's eating his meal while his legs and feet are restless.

Otherwise, why would I rush you to discuss this with Sister Xia today?

If we leave that girl here again, I'm afraid our house will be robbed!"
