Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 31: Leaving the City
Zhao Qiaoniang glanced at Lin Wanwan in the wheelbarrow and said to the woman, "Get out of here..."
She trembled with fear when she thought that her Wanwan was almost killed.
When they turned around, they saw Wang Qiuju looking at them with a half-smile and said, "You're lucky."
Wang Qiuju was followed by more than a dozen people, all of whom were her younger brothers and cousins. Her younger brothers and cousins were all tall and strong, and looked very sturdy.
Some of these people were holding bows and arrows, while others were holding butcher knives. When ordinary people saw their appearance, they did not dare to approach them easily, for fear of being killed.
Old Mrs. Lin held Wang Qiuju's hand tightly and said:
"Qiuju, it has to be you. I am so lucky to have you.
If it weren't for you, our Lin family would not be able to survive, and we would not be able to keep our food.
Unlike some ungrateful people who eat our things and use our things, then turn around and hook up with others."
Wang Qiuju's cousin looked at Zhao Qiaoniang, swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister, is this your second sister-in-law? She is so pretty."
Zhao Qiaoniang was indeed beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and delicate features. Her skin was even more amazing, and it would never get tanned no matter how much she was exposed to the sun.
Ordinary women may become rough and dark due to labor and time, but Zhao Qiaoniang always maintains her youthful and tender appearance.
Even though she is in her twenties, she is still as youthful and charming as a girl of eighteen or nineteen.
Wang Qiuju looked at Zhao Qiaoniang with a smile and said, "She is indeed very pretty. Brother, if you like her, you can take her back to be your wife. But she has three burdens!"
Wang Baochuan rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I like this kind of young lady. I'm willing to give her a bag of coarse grains."
Old Lady Lin's eyes lit up: "This Zhao Qiaoniang is still somewhat useful. Okay, I agree on Qiuju's behalf."
The Lin family is running out of food, with only one bag of coarse grains left. There are so many people in the family, and they can't even get enough to eat. It would be nice to have another bag of coarse grains.
Wang Baochuan coughed and said, "Then let's do it tonight!"
"Okay..." Old Mrs. Lin nodded quickly.
Zhao Qiaoniang and her group found a secluded corner. The carpenter went to get information and came back soon: "I heard from the villagers that if you want to leave the city, you have to pay an exit fee of twenty coins per person."
"What? We have to pay an exit fee? These people are crazy!" Even though Master Bai was knowledgeable, he had never heard of an exit fee.
The young carpenter sighed and said, "That's why there are so many people here."
Master Bai sneered and said, "This is just a disguised way of collecting money. People are living in poverty right now, how can these people do this?"
Lin Wanwan thought about it and realized that it would cost 200 coins for their group of people. It was not that they couldn’t afford it, but it still made them feel sad.
The villagers all gathered together, and the village chief led a few villagers to discuss: "What should we do? 20 wen per person, no one can afford it."
Someone said:
"That's right! Why do I have to pay an exit fee to leave the city?
Isn't it obvious that they are deliberately trapping us here to death?"
Another villager took over and said:
"I got the news, and I heard that they just want to trap us here.
If all of us go to Bianliang, Bianliang will definitely not be able to bear it.
They did this on purpose, wanting us to die here!"
Thinking of the coming winter, the villagers are even more worried. When winter comes here, it is so cold that it is unbearable.
We had no harvest this autumn, all the crops in the fields were gone, and this winter was very difficult to endure.
Even if we survive this winter, there will be no food by the beginning of next spring. This is a vicious cycle.
If it doesn't rain next year, life will be even more difficult.
The village chief smoked his pipe and asked, "Does anyone have a solution to this problem?"
But there is no such person in the village!
Sun Mei stepped forward and said, "It's not that I can't help. I can go find the Sun family's manager. I remember there's a Sun family shop here too. I'll see if I can help."
Sun Mei's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The village chief nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:
“After all, they are members of the Sun family, so they have a way.
Sun Mei, are you familiar with that manager?
Sun Mei nodded vigorously and responded:
"This steward is very familiar with my parents. I'm going to ask him tonight and see what to do."
After hearing this, the others felt relieved, as if they saw a ray of light in the darkness.
As night fell, Sun Mei dressed up carefully. She changed into neat clothes, wore a bright pearl flower on her head, and walked towards the Sun family shop.
Zhao Qiaoniang and Mulan were near the shop. Mulan, with her sharp eyes, tugged at Zhao Qiaoniang and asked in surprise, "Isn't that Sun Mei? What is she doing here?"
Zhao Qiaoniang looked up and saw Sun Mei walked straight into a shop, which soon closed.
Cui Ya was full of curiosity:
“I didn’t expect Sun Mei to come here.
Let's go and see what she is talking about with the steward."
Lin Wanwan also wanted to go and see, but unfortunately she couldn't move. She looked at Naitang and said, "Naitang, why don't you go and see what they are talking about?"
It's a pity that she couldn't move, otherwise she would definitely go and see with her own eyes what they were doing in there. Based on her many years of experience, these two people were definitely up to no good.
Toffee scurried away. Lin Wanwan watched it disappear before her eyes and said, "It ran really fast. It's a pity I couldn't see it."
She saw a bird above her head and couldn't help but say, "Hey! Hello, little bird!"
But the little bird ignored her completely, just pooped a pile of bird poop, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
It turns out that not all animals can communicate. Can only candy communicate?
Mrs. Bai came over and said, "Where did this bird come from? It has made the quilt dirty."
Zhao Qiaoniang, Mulan, and Cuiya went straight to the backyard. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"
Mulan whispered, "What's wrong with that? As long as they haven't done anything shameful, let's see what's wrong."
Then I heard a voice from inside: "Little girl, I miss you so much. We haven't seen each other for several months."
Sun Mei's voice came: "Bah! There are so many beautiful girls in the Sun Mansion now, how can the Sun family still look down on me?"
Manager Sun put his arm around her waist and said, "Meimei, you clearly know that you are the only one in my heart. If it weren't for the fact that my wife is close to the eldest lady, I would have married you long ago."
Sun Mei said with tears in her eyes, "Bah! Stop talking nonsense like that. It's just nonsense. Do you know what kind of life I'm living in the Lin family now?"
Steward Sun put his arm around her waist and asked, "What do you mean? Is someone in the Lin family bullying you now?"
"I'm about to leave the city, as all my food and belongings have been robbed by bandits.
I can’t even eat enough right now, and there are Lin Ze and Lin Han, wuwuwu…
"My second sister-in-law beat me up yesterday, and now my face is all scratched up, and there's no medicine." Sun Mei threw herself on top of Sun Yao and burst into tears.
