After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

When Su Rongrong heard this, the moment she opened the car curtain, a gust of cold wind blew in.

She shivered subconsciously before looking outside.

Then I saw thirty or forty strong laborers from Sujia Village coming towards me.

They came towards this side one by one, carrying empty baskets on shoulder poles.

She moved to the shaft of the cart and shouted to Chen Dashan, who was walking in front: "Uncle Dashan, are you going into the city to buy food?"

Yes, Taoya’s father Chen Dazhuang was among the group of people leading the group.

He came back from hunting in the morning, and after hearing about the situation in the county town, he didn't even have time to rest, and immediately followed the villagers out.

The baskets carried by others were all empty, except his, which contained not only pheasants and rabbits, but also roe deer and the furs he had accumulated over the years.

The villagers of Sujia Village saw the oncoming carriage early on, and just as they were curious, they suddenly heard Su Rongrong's voice.

Remembering that she had been in the county town for the past few days and must be aware of the current situation in the county town, she hurried over.

When they got closer, Chen Dashan asked, "Rong girl, you're back? How's Hong boy? Is he okay?"

“Uncle Dazhuang, I’m back. Jinhong’s condition is much better, but before that even Doctor Min from Jishidiang was helpless.

In the end, I had to ask Master Baili for help and use his connections to buy a bottle of scar removal cream and bone repairing cream for more than one hundred taels.

But you know my family's situation, and I always trouble Master Baili, so it's not easy for me to ask him to borrow the money.

Fortunately, Doctor Min knew my father and knew that Jinhong had a talent for studying, so he helped me out first.

I wrote him an IOU and promised to pay him back within ten years.

If you still don’t pay it back by then, I’ll use my land and house as collateral.”

When the people in Sujia Village heard that some ointment cost more than one hundred taels, their eyes widened.

Someone even whispered: "What kind of magic medicine is this? It has to be so high?"

Su Rongrong glanced at the man and saw that he had no ill intentions, so she said, “One of those two bottles of ointment is said to be used exclusively by the nobles in the palace.

The other bottle was used by the court to reward generals who had made great contributions.

When Jinhong arrived in the county, Doctor Min examined him and said that even if his face was cured, there would be scars left.

And my hand, the bones of which were broken by Qin. If I hadn't used the bone-repairing ointment, I wouldn't be able to lift a pen even if I recovered.

Our Jinhong is a scholar. He cannot fail to write, and he cannot have scars on his face.

As long as it gets better, I think it's worth spending any amount of money.

Jinhong is more talented than my father. My father was able to pass the examination and become a scholar, and he was a student on government stipend, so Jinhong will definitely be able to pass the examination and become a juren.

I think you all have a clear idea of ​​which is more important, money or fame.

What's more, if it weren't for Master Baili, we wouldn't be able to buy those ointments even if we had the money.

At the beginning, Doctor Min told me directly that there was no way, and said that Jinhong would only be left with scars, and that he would not even be able to hold a pen, let alone lift heavy objects. "

When the people in Sujia Village heard the seriousness of the situation, they all fell silent.

They are farmers. Regardless of whether they have scars on their faces, just looking at their hands, if they can't lift heavy objects, they will definitely be useless.

Therefore, the look he gave Su Rongrong at this moment was filled with admiration and sympathy.

After all, that was a debt of more than one hundred taels. If it stayed in their family, they would probably never be able to pay it off in their lifetime.

That Qin family has really done a lot of harm to people.

Fortunately, Hong has a good elder sister who is willing to fight with Suda's family for him and even owe so much debt...

Su Rongrong noticed the expressions of these people and did not continue the topic. She changed the subject and said:

"Uncle Dazhuang, the county town is in chaos right now. Many refugees came early this morning, and they were stealing and robbing on the streets.

In the end, ordinary people didn't dare to take to the streets.

Later, the government stepped in and drove everyone out of the city.

The city gates are now heavily guarded and they are not allowed to enter.

And they were all gathered not far outside the city.

The longer this time is, the more people there will be.

When we came back, there were at least hundreds or thousands of disaster victims gathered outside the city.

In addition, the temperature has dropped rather quickly in the past two days, so it won’t be a good thing if it continues like this.

If the issue of refugees is not resolved, problems will arise sooner or later.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Dazhuang nodded with a heavy expression.

Su Rongrong continued, "A few days ago, I drew a few patterns and sold them to an embroidery shop, and then I took the money to buy food.

At the beginning, the price of grain was normal, with coarse grains and coarse flour costing fifteen cents per dou.

But now, the price of one dou has risen to 24 wen. The price of refined rice and white flour has risen even more sharply, with one dou directly becoming 50 wen.

Even the meat was priced at forty-five yuan per pound before we came back.

You guys should go quickly, I’m afraid if we delay any longer, the price of rice and flour will continue to rise.

Also, if you can buy as much as you can, don’t be stingy with your money.

I’m afraid if you don’t buy it now, you won’t be able to buy it later even if you have money!”

As Su Rongrong said this, Chen Dazhuang and others took a deep breath.

The price of a dou of coarse grains and coarse flour has increased by nine wen, which is equivalent to an increase of more than two wen per jin.

How long has it been taking?

If they delay any further, by the time they get to the county town, won’t the price of one pound increase by three cents?

Thinking of this, they were not in the mood to continue talking. After thanking Su Rongrong, they hurriedly left.

After Da Hu and others had walked far away, they drove on to Sujia Village.

The weather is really abnormal. At this time yesterday, there was still some sunshine, but now it is gloomy.

Even the wind that blew was chilly.

Su Rongrong returned to the carriage and immediately said, "Jinhong, your winter clothes, Miaomiao and I will rush out for you as soon as possible.

When you get back, wrap yourself in a blanket first to prevent your hands from getting cold.

Manman and Qiaoqiao, forget it, you two. Qiaoqiao, you stay at home and clean the house. Manman and I will go up the mountain to chop firewood.

This day really cannot be delayed.

I'm worried about the firewood for the winter. We haven't prepared it yet and it started to rain and snow."

Liu Miao was in a hurry to rush Su Jinhong to get clothes done. When she heard this, she said, "Rongrong, you and Manman and Qiaoqiao go chop wood. I'll help you clean up the house.

When I finish making the clothes for Jinhong and Manman, I will come back to help you."

Her family had a lot of firewood, and her parents and others would chop it and pile it there whenever they had time.

If she wasn't afraid of what her family would say, she would have moved some things over there for Rongrong.

Su Rongrong didn't know what she was thinking. She was afraid of what the Liu family would say, and she didn't want Liu Miao to work like a slave in her house, so she said:

"Qiaoqiao, when you go back, take a hair flower and ask the skillful sisters in the village to come and help us clean the house.

Miaomiao, you help keep an eye on it, I'll take Qiaoqiao and Manman to chop wood."

Su Manman was naturally willing and agreed immediately.

Only Su Qiaoqiao felt her scalp tingling when she heard about chopping wood.

She would rather stay at home and clean the house than go up the mountain.

Not only would it be exhausting, but her hands would also become rough from chopping too much wood.

Her hands are rough, so is there still hope for her to marry into a wealthy family?

But she couldn't say she disagreed, for she was afraid that her elder sister would get angry and ask Da Hu to take her back to the county town and throw her among the refugees.

She was terrified when she thought of the malicious looks those people gave her, and how she was hungry, cold, and had to sleep outdoors.

Forget it, just chop wood. She is the youngest anyway, so she can’t chop much or carry much. It’s understandable, right?
