Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

If a piece of rice paper can be sold for one hundred wen, then one hundred pieces would be worth one tael of silver. The price of one hundred pieces of rice paper in the mall is twelve yuan, which means that twelve yuan can be exchanged for one tael of silver. The current balance in the mall is more than fifty thousand, which is more than four thousand taels of silver.

Accidentally becoming a wealthy woman, she excitedly hugged Taohua and said, "My daughter, maybe in less than a month we can build a brick house and live in a villa."

"Mother, I want my second sister to accompany you to the city tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Taohua lowered her head and pursed her lips. She was very happy that her mother thought of taking her to the city, but her second sister had never been to the city. As the eldest sister in the family, she had to consider her younger sisters when doing things. Although she also wanted to go to the city, she had already been there once and should not be too greedy.

Moreover, this time when A Niang went to the city, she brought expensive rice paper with her. My second sister is strong, so I feel more at ease having her accompany A Niang.

When Yang Xiuying saw her sensible eldest daughter, she felt indescribable emotions in her heart. Should she be happy that her eldest daughter was sensible, or should she feel sorry for her because she was pushed to grow up by her status as the eldest sister?

From ancient times to the present, the eldest child in the family has always taken on the most responsibilities and has always been pushed to grow up. When younger sisters have problems, they go to the eldest sister, and when parents have problems, they go to the eldest child in the family.

But everyone forgets that the eldest child in the family is still just a child.

Yang Xiuying leaned over and kissed Taohua on the cheek: "Good boy, tomorrow when I make money I will buy you some candy."

When Taohua heard that Yang Xiuying wanted to buy her some candy, her nose felt sore.

My mother actually wanted to buy candy for herself. As the eldest in the family, shouldn't she let her younger sisters have the delicious food? Can she really have it?

Early in the morning, the villagers of Futian Village took Ma Ergun to the dam of the old village chief's house and started arguing.

"Old Village Chief, Ma Ergun, this is retaliation."

"He caused trouble yesterday and didn't get any rice in exchange. He held a grudge and cut down the milk fruit trees on the mountain."

"Do you think what he did is humane? The land here is barren and there's nothing to eat. He even dug up the milk apples on the mountain by the roots. Not only will they not bear fruit next year, they won't grow again in the future."

"Food is our life. He is killing us."

The old village chief looked at the imprisoned Ma Ergun with a stern expression: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Ma Ergun was escorted by several strong men. When he returned home yesterday, he was not only scolded by his wife, but also beaten up. As a result, even his children did not help him. His wife Wang Fuping was a strong woman, and he could not beat her. He was holding a lot of resentment in his heart but had no place to vent it.

He simply went up the mountain early in the morning before dawn, and started chopping down the milk apple trees indiscriminately. In the end, he even dug out the roots. Unexpectedly, he was seen by the villagers who went up the mountain to pick milk apples. Without saying a word, they took him to the village chief.

But he was not afraid at all. He was tied up by several strong men and could not move. He could only shout: "What do you want to do! The milk apples on the mountain are not yours. You picked them, but I can't dig them?

The mountains belong to everyone, and everyone touches them. Whether I dig them up or use them as firewood, you have no right to interfere."

Some elderly people in the village had experienced years of famine, and when they heard what Ma Ergun said, they pointed at him and started cursing.

"If you waste food, we can take care of it!"

"Ergun, during the famine, most of the people in our village starved to death. The few who remained survived by eating tree bark and wild vegetables from the mountains."

"My youngest son died after eating dirt... If he had eaten a piece of milk fruit, he might have survived. If he were still alive, he would be fifty-eight now... wuwuwu..."

When talking about their relatives who starved to death during the famine years and died from eating Guanyin soil, the elderly villagers choked up and wiped their tears with their sleeves.

Ma Ergun had never experienced a famine. Even if the food at home was not so good, he would not starve. He could eat wild vegetable porridge to his heart's content. Who made him marry a wife who loved him?

"Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong. It was you two who all listened to a widow and were led by her by the nose.

We have to change from being passive to being active. Now she is begging you to exchange for rice. Since she is begging you, we have to act like she is begging you.

I, Ma Ergun, am making this clear today. I must have a share in the exchange of milk fruit and bracken for rice, and I have the final say on how much to exchange!

Three pounds of milk fruit for one pound of rice, two pounds of fern for one pound of rice, bah! Widow Yang is too stingy! She is exploiting us. "

The women standing by couldn't stand it any longer.

"How can you talk like that? Xiuying is doing a good deed. She herself has benefited, but she also remembers to help the people in our village, so that everyone can get rice."

"Yes, without Sister Xiuying, we would still only be able to eat milk apples and bracken. My family exchanged 20 kilograms of rice, and yesterday the head of the family went to the city to exchange for 120 kilograms of black flour. Now we have enough food for the whole year."

"Thanks to Xiuying's sister, my family has enough food. I'll pick some milk apples and bracken to exchange for rice, then go to the city to exchange for some salt. I'll plant rice soon to replenish my energy."

Hearing the women praising Yang Xiuying, Ma Ergun became displeased. They were just a bunch of idiots who could never make money. This was such a good opportunity. Since Yang Xiuying wanted milk apples and bracken, why didn't she seize the chance and extort money from her?

"Anyway, I did nothing wrong. Even if you send me to see the officials, the county magistrate can't stop me from going up the mountain to dig milk apples. There's no law prohibiting cutting down trees."

Ma Ergun was cheering himself up in his heart. Even the law couldn't control him, so how could these idiots control him? He was just born at the wrong time and was stuck in this remote place. Otherwise, he would have become rich long ago.

The fortune teller said that I was destined to be very rich and powerful!

But when he saw the old village chief's eyes as dark as ink, Ma Ergun felt a little scared. He was digging wild fruits that had no owner on the mountain. Even the village chief couldn't do anything to him. Maybe the village chief was in an embarrassing situation now.

Thinking of this, Ma Ergun raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The old village chief never dreamed that he would fall into his own hands!

Before the smile faded, the old village chief's cold and low voice came: "It's okay for you to act arrogantly in your own home, but now you want to take other people's money.

Yesterday I wanted to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you to repent and now you are harming everyone's interests. Yes, there is no law that prohibits cutting down milk fruit trees.

Of course we can't do anything to you, but as the head of the village, I naturally have the right to let you open the village.

Pack up and leave Futian Village!"
