In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

At one point, there were five pairs of eyes in the house.

Everyone looked at Wang Miaomiao.

The 'distrust' and 'suspicion' in that look pierced deeply into Wang Miaomiao's heart.

But facing the accusations from the fourth brother Wang Tianci, she was unable to give an explanation.

His hatred for his evil mother Shen Qian grew even stronger: "Just hide the food! Why do you have to make such a big fuss when selling it?"

She was also asked to call Wang Wu and others...

I should have found an excuse to shirk it at that time.

Thinking of this, she walked back to her room angrily and hid.

But an angry voice was also heard:

"Since you don't trust me, you'll have to take care of yourselves from now on!"

I saw Wang Miaomiao close the door.

The brothers looked at each other, and Wang Wu muttered in a low voice with a guilty conscience:

"She's not really going to stop cooking, is she?"

"No! She has to eat too, right? If she wants to eat, she has to cook! It will be hard for my father-in-law, who has to suffer this unexpected disaster!" Wang Tianci was so angry that he sucked his teeth.

"What time is it? Can you stop thinking about your father-in-law all the time?" Wang You glared at Wang Tianci unhappily.

Upon seeing this, Wang Tianci immediately shouted:

"Hey! Fifth brother! How can you talk like that?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang You and Wang Liang walked straight out of the yard.

Wang Tianci's voice became louder and louder as he became more anxious.

Seeing that the two of them ignored him, he said indignantly:

"My father-in-law, isn't that like family?"

"How can I not be concerned?"

"You two are just unmarried. Once you get married, you'll know what in-laws are!"

...

Wang Shen took a car back to the county town and watched the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop weigh the grain.

Only then did I get the money!

But this time, Wang Shen did not ask for cash.

Instead, he directly took the silver note!

Moreover, Wang Shenshi specifically requested that the banknotes must be issued by Jiangnan Money House and be used in the southern territory!

Although the shopkeeper of Zouji was puzzled, he still happily settled the money!

A total of 105 taels!

One for fifty taels, two for twenty taels, one for ten taels, and one for five taels!

Fold them and put them in your pocket.

After returning, sew a double layer on the lining and stuff it with cotton wool. Then the banknotes will be hidden in the interlayer of the lining and will not be found even if someone searches you!

"Mrs. Wang, you have two ox carts at home, why don't you leave more food?" Wang Daniu expressed the doubts he had along the way.

Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said unhappily:

"We are fleeing from famine."

"You've brought so much food. Haven't you seen refugees before?"

Speaking of refugees, Wang Daniu shuddered.

I still remember when I was a child, a group of refugees came to the village, and my father's arm was chopped off by the refugees while he was protecting our family's food.

The crazy look of those people is still fresh in his memory!

"If I forget about this, then does my family have to give away a batch of grain?" Wang Daniu looked at Shen Qian, hoping that she could give him some advice.

Seeing this, Shen Qian asked directly:

"How much food do you have at home?"

"Probably... less than 900 kilograms." Wang Daniu said after a little thought.

"Then sell 600 kilograms, and wait a few days to harvest the crops in the fields. After the harvest, pack the bitter crops and sell them to the neighboring villages." As soon as Shen Qian opened her mouth, she told Wang Daniu about her plan for the autumn harvest.

Wang Daniu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Now he is almost becoming Shen Qian's believer, and facts have proved that every decision Shen Qian makes is correct!

Because of her, the situation in the village is much better than in other villages!

As the ox cart moved along.

Before the two of them entered the village, they saw hundreds of people surrounding the village!

They were all holding buckets of water, and some were even holding farm tools, and they were shouting outside Wangjia Village:

"Wang Dakuo, stop hiding! The news that your village has a water source has already spread to our village. If I hadn't had no other choice, I wouldn't have brought the villagers here to fetch water!"

"That's right! Uncle Dakuo, you can't be so selfish! My daughter is marrying into your village, we are relatives!"

"My uncle Wang's second aunt's neighbor's daughter also married into your village. I heard the news. Your village discovered endless spring water in the mountains and endless lotus roots. We don't want the lotus roots, we just want some water. And you came out with hundreds of people holding farm tools to stop us? And those dozens of bows and arrows over there, are you rebelling?"

"..."

Listen to the noisy scolding.

Shen Qian thought to herself: What is coming will eventually come.

In the village, people of the same clan**.

But if a woman from another family marries into the family, she may not necessarily be of the same mind as me.

If there were any daughters who missed their mother's home and secretly sneaked back there, the discovery of a spring in the mountains would inevitably be revealed.

However, it was beyond Shen Qian's expectation that they could hold out for so many days before coming to her door.

I think they have reached a dead end and cannot afford to buy water, or even cannot buy water!

The village chief Wang Dakuo, who was surrounded by them, was so angry that his fists were stiff!

That is the water of life that the village depends on!

Which woman let the cat out of the bag and ran back to her parents' home to report the news?

If the mountain spring were shared, their village might not be able to survive the drought.

The drought that cut off the water flow was something he had never experienced in his life in decades.

At this moment, he knew very well how important the mountain spring water that Wang Shen found was to them.

Don't give it up easily!

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Dakuo was about to order the hunters to shoot arrows to drive away these people from other villages who were surrounding them.

Suddenly, Wang Daniu's voice rang out among the crowd!

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"Make way!"

Hearing the sound coming from the back of the crowd, everyone turned around.

After seeing the ox cart, he subconsciously gave way.

Seeing this, Wang Daniu hurriedly drove the cow through the path made clear by the crowd.

When the ox cart stopped in front of Wang Dakuo, Shen Qian jumped directly off the cart.

Whispered softly to the village chief:

"We can't protect this spring water with just one village."

"Now that the news has spread, why not lure them in and share the mountain spring water?"

Wang Dakuo's heart trembled when he heard Shen Qian's whisper:

"This...this, this, this, is this okay?"

"It's not like I haven't seen that mountain spring. Even if it's huge, it's not enough for several villages to drink!"

In response to Wang Dakuo's worry, Shen Qian just gave him a reassuring look.

Then he came to his senses and looked at the crowd with burning eyes.

He shouted loudly:

"After discussing with the village chief, that mountain spring."

"I can share it with you."

When the armed villagers heard that Shen Qian was going to give up the mountain spring, they immediately went into an uproar!

"what?"

"Give up the mountain spring! Why?"

"We found this on the mountain in our village. Why should we give it to them?"

Looking at the angry villagers, Shen Qian raised her hand and gestured:

"I found the spring, please trust me, folks."

This confident look made some villagers in Wangjia Village shut up.

After all...what Wang Shen has done in recent days is indeed correct!

From sacrifices, to collective grain storage, and finally to the search for springs in the mountains.

It can be said that the village has received too much care from Wang Shen.

Wang Dakuo looked at Shen Qian's prestige and felt emotional: Unknowingly, the Wang Shen family has gained such weight in the hearts of the clan!

Shen Qian's voice came again in my ears:

"I wonder which villages the people who came here this time are from?"

"How many more village chiefs are coming here personally with their fellow villagers?"
