After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Yuntao sold grain in the county town on and off for almost a month, but as time went on, it harmed the interests of some people.

In addition to the favor of gratitude and the grudge against others, for some people, they just can't stand seeing you living a better life than them.

Daniu was very worried when he saw that his family's food supply was decreasing day by day. "Mom, the food in our warehouse is getting less and less. I wonder if it will have a big impact on us if we continue to sell it like this. After all, we also need to provide food to sell in the capital city."

Yun Tao knew very well that the food in her space was more than enough for the people in the town to eat in this lifetime, and selling it would earn her money. She would just sell it, and it was an emergency now.

"Don't worry, Daniu. The grain in the county town is not always available for sale. County Magistrate Wu has told me that the relief grain from the imperial court has already arrived. It is only a matter of time before it reaches the county town. Once the relief grain arrives, mother will no longer sell her own grain."

"Now mother is doing Magistrate Wu a favor. After all, we will need Magistrate Wu to take care of us in the future. We are just ordinary people. We have no power or influence, so it is definitely better to have a backer."

"Mom, I understand this, but I'm worried that there won't be enough food at home for me to sell. I'm telling you. People should be a little selfish. They can't always think about others. They should also think about themselves."

Daniu repeated Yuntao's words in a very low voice.

Yun Tao looked at Daniu and thought to herself that this guy has grown up a lot and knows that he should be more selfish.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Nothing will go wrong. Even if something does go wrong, Magistrate Wu will take care of it. I'm not afraid, so don't worry."

When Daniu heard his mother say this, he didn't say anything else.

"We are going to the county town to sell grain tomorrow, so you should prepare the grain. Also, if people ask about white rice, just say we don't have it. We only have brown rice. If you want white rice, go to the grain store and buy it."

The next day, Yuntao took Daniu to the county town and sold grain at the same place as before.

I saw many ordinary people waiting there in advance. Yun Tao felt very uncomfortable when looking at these people's posture. I don't know why, I just had this feeling.

"Mom, why are all the villagers so enthusiastic today? When we came here before, there were a lot of people. But not as many as today. Moreover, all the people who came today were men, not even a single woman. Why do I feel weird? Weren't there more women before?"

Yuntao had already felt something was wrong, but after hearing what Daniu said, she knew more clearly what was wrong.

"Daniu, go and call Magistrate Wu here and tell him that I have something urgent to ask him. Ask Magistrate Wu to come quickly."

Yuntao's face was full of anxiety.

Seeing that his mother looked unwell, Daniu knew something must have happened, so he immediately went to find Magistrate Wu.

Yun Tao and others were opening the grain and preparing to sell it.

At this time, a bearded man in front of me said loudly, "Boss, you have been selling here for so long. You can still bring so much food to sell every time. It's really hard for you. Why don't you just sell it all to us at once? We will help you share the burden. You don't have to travel so far to sell food."

"Look at a man like me. Five kilograms of potatoes a day is not enough to fill me up. What if I eat ten kilograms a day? I am hungry every day. Can you bear to see that? Just be a good person and don't restrict us from buying food for a day. Anyway, you have a lot of food at home and we can't eat it all."

"Besides, you are so rich that you don't need that little bit of silver. Why are you selling it so expensively? You charge eight copper coins for one pound. Even in normal times, you would have to buy two or three pounds of food. You are being rich but unkind."

Yuntao looked at the man in front of her. He was big and strong, and he didn't look hungry at all. It was obvious that he had eaten a lot of food all day.

No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a refugee, but rather a thug from a rich family.

The common people behind him thought it was nothing, but after hearing what the bearded man said, they all agreed, "This big brother is right, boss. You have so much food at home that we can't even eat it all. Please be kind and sell it to us at a lower price. 8 cents a pound for potatoes and brown rice is really too expensive. We are all ordinary people. It's okay to buy it occasionally, but we can't afford it for a long time."

Da Niu was also very angry at this time. He was unwilling to do so in the first place, but he was willing to sell the grain only for the sake of County Magistrate Wu. These people really didn't know what was good for them.

"You don't have to eat it if you don't want to. We sell it very cheaply anyway. If you think it's expensive, you can go to the food store and buy it. We won't stop you."

The bearded man was not someone to be trifled with, and he immediately shouted at Daniu, "Little brother, don't think that I won't deal with you just because you're standing next to the shopkeeper. I can crush a weakling like you in a matter of minutes."

"You, you, you are so unreasonable. I always speak to you in a nice way. How can you be like this? You are buying my family's food. You provoke me. Be careful, or we won't sell it to you."

Everyone was unhappy when they heard this.

"Little brother, you are being unkind. You should keep selling food. We have nothing to eat. We are starving to death. We just want to buy more and spend less money. Do we have enough? Besides, you are the young masters, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but we have to eat from time to time. Look at this bearded brother, didn't you hear what he said? He can't even eat enough, how can he, with his size, have a full meal?"

"He's right. You shouldn't limit yourself to buying five catties per person. You should sell more and make the price more attractive. I don't ask for much. It's okay to sell three or four cents less per catty. You have a big family and a big business, so it won't affect you if you sell less."

After this person finished speaking, everyone around him said it was a good idea, and more and more people joined in.

Da Niu became more and more nervous and didn't know what to do. At this time, County Magistrate Wu had not arrived yet.

"Mother, when I went there, Magistrate Wu was not there. He said he had not come yet, so the bailiff went to his house to call him back for me."
