Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Wang's eldest sister-in-law happily held the chicken coop.

"Last time, someone offered 200 wen to buy my chicken. Luckily, Mrs. Cui reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have known that the price of chicken in the city had risen so high."

Yu said gently, "I never thought it would happen. It was my third sister-in-law who advised me not to sell it yet. She even went to inquire about the price."

"You sisters-in-law get along so well. It's really enviable."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family has a crisp voice and speaks kind words as if they are free of charge.

Her family raised four chickens, and the difference in price was 800 wen, so she wanted to praise Lin to the sky.

Lin smiled and said, "Scarcity makes things valuable. The more serious the chicken plague is, the higher the price of chicken will be. If we wait a few more days, I'm afraid it will be even more expensive."

Lin gave a subtle reminder that the price of chicken would definitely skyrocket, and four hundred coins was definitely not the highest price.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family waved her hand nonchalantly: "Who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe the chickens will die of disease before the price goes up. It's better to exchange them for money as soon as possible, otherwise I will worry every day and lose the appetite."

After saying this, he covered his chest, pretended to be in pain, and then laughed.

He is a straightforward person.

Lin couldn't help but smile.

Chatting and laughing, they soon arrived at the city gate.

Lin asked Silang and Wulang to set up the stall first, and she accompanied Yu and Wang's eldest sister-in-law to Ruyi Restaurant.

The restaurant was not open yet, the front was deserted, but the back door was bustling with activity.

Baskets of vegetables and meat were continuously carried into the restaurant.

Lin found the manager and explained his purpose.

The steward had an impression of her and looked up at the two Yus not far away. The chickens in the bamboo cages seemed to sense their fate, their wings struggling desperately, and feathers flying everywhere.

The steward's eyes lit up instantly.

The food that the restaurant is most short of now is chicken. There are at least six chickens in two cages.

"Not bad, not bad." The steward was very happy. "There are actually two roosters. They are really beautiful."

Yu pursed her lips tightly and dared not speak.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family said cautiously, "The chickens are all carefully raised by our family. They have never gone hungry. Look at this comb, boss. It's red and bright, and the body is full of meat. It is definitely worth the price."

The steward nodded repeatedly: "We'll take all of these. The hens are four hundred coins, and the roosters are really good, so we'll charge them five hundred coins."

Wang's eldest sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't stop laughing, and Yu was also very excited.

One hundred more than expected.

The manager asked the waiter to carry the chicken in and paid for it happily.

Yu received one tael and three wen, and Wang's eldest sister-in-law received one tael and seven wen.

It didn’t sell for such a high price even during the Chinese New Year.

The two men carefully hid the money and were about to leave when suddenly a shrill cry from afar, like thunder in the clear sky, reached their ears.

Along with the crying, there was also the sound of a group of people shouting and cursing. It sounded like they were coming from across the street, but I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Lin frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

The steward scoffed, "Those restaurants sell sick chickens to customers, and many people have stomach problems after eating them. I heard a child died yesterday, and the commotion started last night. Tsk tsk, they really have no conscience."

In the same industry, this kind of thing spreads quickly.

"so serious?"

"Of course not." Thinking of the miserable state after eating the diseased chicken, the manager was still terrified. "I heard that several people have been vomiting blood, and the clinic is helpless. You know, even Dr. Xu is not sure he can cure it. It's really dangerous."

Because of this, the clinic is overcrowded.

In addition to the bad restaurants, there were also chickens raised by ordinary people at home, which were stewed and eaten after they died of illness, and the whole family was carried into the clinic.

Yu took a breath and said, "Then Wu Lao Er and Er Zhu must be..."

The three of them walked out of the alley with sad hearts and stood on the street. The crying sounds in the distance became more obvious.

Yu was still in shock: "This is so scary. What kind of disease is this? It's so serious."

Every family in the village has raised chickens, and they eat the dead chickens themselves. Who would have thought that this time they would kill people.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family sighed and said, "Don't think about it. We have sold all our chickens. No matter how serious the disease is, it has nothing to do with us."

Thinking of the money from selling the chickens, Yu's mood improved a little. She planned to go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth and make new clothes for Lichun and Liqiu.

Lin went to the blacksmith shop alone and ordered five sets of farm tools.

We agreed to pick it up the day after tomorrow, and then went out of town to the stall.

Business was as brisk as ever, and by the time Lin arrived, most of the items had already been sold.

Silang was like a top, busy collecting money and refilling bowls, sweating profusely.

But I am happy in my heart.

He found that he really liked the feeling of a heavy wallet, and he felt indescribably proud.

After Lin arrived, he took over the job of collecting money, and everything was sold out in a short while.

Wu Lang was squatting on the ground packing and didn't even see Lin come back. He only looked up after he finished.

"Third aunt!"

Lin pulled his sleeve to wipe his sweat: "Are you tired?"

Wu Lang nodded, then quickly shook his head: "Not tired, quite relaxed."

Lin pulled his little hand over. Although Wulang's palms were rough, he was only ten years old after all, and his fingers were scratched by the straw rope with countless small cuts.

It's heartbreaking to watch.

Wu Lang put his hands behind his back and said with a simple smile, "Aunt San, I'm not in pain."

Although the wound is not bleeding, there is still a risk of infection.

Lin spent two cents to buy a bucket of water from a stall not far away, paid a deposit of three cents to borrow the bucket and ladle, and washed Wulang's hands without any explanation.

Shiro used the remaining water to wash his face.

Silang felt a little sorry for spending the two cents, but he had already spent it. If Lin hadn't stopped him, he would have even wanted to drink the rest of the water.

The purpose of making money is to improve the quality of life, and Lin was willing to spend the two cents.

As for Shiro, I will teach him slowly later.

After packing up their things, the three of them found the ox cart. Yu and Wang's eldest sister-in-law had just returned after selling their things.

Mrs. Wang bought a pound of meat and happily went home to satisfy her children's cravings.

"I heard your eldest son is looking for a wife?" Wang's eldest sister-in-law gossiped. "Our village hasn't had a banquet in a long time."

Yu was a little embarrassed: "It's time to get married. Aunt Feng introduced my niece to me a few days ago, but we have to wait for his father to come back to discuss it. I only heard from Aunt Feng that the two children haven't met yet, so it's hard to say whether it will work out."

After talking to Lin last time, she thought about it carefully when she got home. She really needed to find out more. After all, there was a village between them, so a lot of information couldn't be passed on.

It’s just that Aunt Feng doesn’t know anyone in her hometown.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family slapped her thigh and said, "My sister is marrying in their village, Fengjia Village, right?"

Yu nodded quickly.

"It just so happens that I'm going to go there tomorrow and ask my sister about it."

"Thank you so much for your help." Yu kept thanking him.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family smiled sincerely: "It's nothing. If I have to thank you, I have to thank you sisters-in-law more. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sell it for so much money."

She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, and she could sell the chickens directly to the restaurant.

Yu didn't treat her as an outsider, so since it was a matter concerning Dalang's life, she would definitely help.

She is a few years younger than Yu. After Dalang gets married, in a few years, her daughter Shuihua will also be looking for a husband.

Thinking of her taciturn daughter at home, Wang's eldest sister-in-law felt depressed.

He turned his eyes and saw Shiro in the same car.

In fact, if she were to say, Shilang is a good kid.

"Your family has had several boys in a row. Now that Dalang has married, the others will be soon." The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family looked at Silang and said with a smile, "What kind of wife do you want to marry, Silang? Let me help you find one."
