Tao Ya, who was standing by, knew from hearing her words that she was imitating Rongrong again.

I don’t know what Rongrong will feel when she finds out about this!

At that time, Su Rongrong, who was in the county town, didn't know that her third sister had caused a big fuss in the village.

In order to catch up with the progress, she worked until the end of the night at 11 p.m. before lying down to rest.

The next morning, I got up early in the morning light.

Liu Miao still made the morning meal.

The food was simple, rice porridge with a dish of pickles bought from outside.

Of course, Baili Zheng and his followers were given an extra plate of scrambled eggs.

After dinner, just as she was emptying her mind and gazing into the distance, Da Hu came over.

"Miss Rongrong, my master wants to see you!"

Su Rongrong didn't know why Baili Zheng wanted to see her so early, but she still went to look for him.

When she arrived, she saw Baili Zheng put down the book in his hand, took out a note from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

"have a look!"

Su Rongrong reached out to take it, confused.

When I looked down, I saw it written: There is flooding in Qing'an Prefecture and Funing Prefecture, the situation is serious. Please inform Wang Jianguang and notify the county government to make preparations as soon as possible.

Su Rongrong knew something about the flood from the owner of the embroidery shop, but not much.

Seeing Baili Zheng's serious face, he asked, "Are Qing'an Prefecture and Funing Prefecture far from here?"

"Next to each other, one on the left and one on the right like this!"

Su Rongrong's heart sank when she heard this.

Now that she had just left the Su family, she had nothing at home.

Let’s not talk about whether there will be floods here as well.

As for the price of food, it will inevitably be affected and will rise.

Now, she doesn't have much money.

There are still many things to buy at home.

Not to mention anything else, just the pots and pans, winter clothes and quilts are all necessities.

In fact, the winter quilt is easy to deal with. She has it in her space, and she can just find a chance to take it out when the time comes.

But it’s really time to make winter clothes for Manman and Jinhong.

Apart from these, food is the key point.

Not to mention the money she owed Baili Zheng, she didn't dare to spend the remaining money easily.

After all, Jinhong's hand needs to be treated with other medicines!

The price of food is bound to rise now, and we don’t know what the situation will be like next year. Naturally, the more food we have at home, the better.

Thinking of this, Su Rongrong said, "Thank you, Master Baili, for telling me. I will go out and buy some food right away."

Fortunately, she made a lot of lace last night, otherwise it would be difficult for her to go out at this time.

Baili Zheng heard her turn around and leave after saying this, so he didn't say anything else.

He helped in every way he could, and the other party didn't ask for money, so he naturally couldn't rush to do so.

So after instructing Da Hu to tell Lord Wang about the matter, he no longer cared about it.

When Su Rongrong heard the news, she did not go out directly, but went to Su Jinhong's room first.

Liu Miao was sitting here knitting, and when she saw someone, she said directly:

"Miaomiao, Jinhong, we just received news from Master Baili that there are floods in Funing Prefecture and Qing'an Prefecture, and the situation is quite serious.

You all know the situation in our family.

We don’t have a grain of rice at home right now. We will be affected by the situation over there and the price of food will get higher and higher.

I want to buy more food now."

As the daughter of the village chief, Liu Miao is quite knowledgeable.

Upon hearing this, he took out his purse from his pocket and handed it over.

"Rongrong, I don't have much money, you can use it first.

We don't have to buy good rice, as long as coarse grains and coarse flour can fill our stomachs, buy as much as you can.

Yesterday you said that the owner of the embroidery shop was talking about a flood outside, but I didn’t take it to heart.

It now seems that the situation outside must be very serious.

We have to buy as much as possible, so that we don’t have to worry about food in the next two or three years.

No one knows what the next year will be like.

Whether we will be affected next or not, as it will rain continuously, no one can predict.

Therefore, the more food we have, the more at ease we can be!"

The more she talked, the more uneasy she felt, and she wished she could conjure up a hundred or eighty taels of silver.

Su Jinhong already knew how much money his sister had. Hearing this, he hardened his heart and said:

"Sister, you have used all the money, you don't have to leave any for me.

My hand will gradually get better after I finish using the existing medicines and then take the bone-replenishing ointment. I don’t need to take other medicines together.”

When Liu Miao heard this, she immediately got angry and said, "How can that be possible? No, nothing is more important than your hand."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Rongrong.

"Rongrong, I have a silver hairpin and a pair of silver bracelets at home, which were prepared for me as a coming-of-age gift by my grandmother and mother.

You can first use the existing silver to buy food, and buy as much as you can.

When I get back in a few days, I'll pawn those things, and then we can buy pots, pans, and other things.

Food cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for one more day, the price may go up.

As for those, no matter what, they are unlikely to rise again, and may even fall.”

Su Rongrong had no intention of taking these things from Liu Miao. At worst, she could still sell some things in the space.

“I’ll find a way to deal with the money, Miaomiao, you can keep your things.

I'm here now to tell you about the situation so that you can have an idea.

Besides, I am here with Jinhong, and if worst comes to worst, there is still Master Baili.

Miaomiao, if you have nothing to do, go back first. You have to tell your father about this."

Liu Miao didn't want to go back, but she knew that she had to tell her father about this.

Her father is the village chief. It would be fine if he didn't know about this, but now that he knows, he must have told the villagers.

Not every household in Sujia Village has stored grain, and some people still need to rely on buying food for a living.

Not to mention other families, just talk about Taoya’s family, this is the situation.

So, after struggling for a while, she nodded: "Okay, I'll go back now. I'll come back after my dad finds out."

Su Rongrong: "...Miaomiao, if nothing unexpected happens, Jinhong will be able to go back tomorrow.

I don't know what's going on at home yet, if it's convenient for you, could you help keep an eye on it?"

Liu Miao hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Su Jinhong.

Su Jinhong didn't want her to run around like this, so he said, "Sister Miaomiao, when you go back, please help me take care of Manman and Qiaoqiao.

The most important thing is Qiaoqiao. I heard Aunt He said that the family doesn’t have enough money to exempt from corvée labor, and I’m afraid she will set her sights on Qiaoqiao.”

That girl is a fool and only trusts her silver-tongued adoptive mother.

As the second brother, it's useless no matter what I say to her.

He was afraid that the silly girl would be sold to someone without his knowledge.

No one expected that just after Su Jinhong finished speaking, before Liu Miao and Su Rongrong even left the house, the voice of Butler Wang was heard from outside.

“Miss Su, there is someone outside the door who claims to be your third sister, with a little girl with red and swollen eyes, saying that she wants to see you.

I thought she looked quite similar to you, so I had someone bring her to the small flower hall.

Do you want to go over and check?"
