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

Before the county town gates were closed.

The owner of the Zou family grain store finally transported all the grain into the city.

When he arrived at the grain store with a part of the grain transport convoy, before anyone got off the vehicle, a shout came from inside the store:

"Idiot! Get in here!"

Hearing the sound, the owner of Zou’s grain store was terrified!

I went to the countryside today to harvest the early millet. Why would the master be so angry? Could it be that... the grain fleet from the south is coming, causing grain prices to fall?

Thinking of this, the owner of Zou’s grain store wanted to slap himself twice!

How could it be such a coincidence that I suffered three losses at the hands of the same woman!

Enter the grain store.

Zou Chu, the head of the Zou family, signaled the shopkeeper to close the shop door and led people to the inner courtyard where the grain was stored.

He entered the inner courtyard without waiting for the grain shop owner to speak.

The head of the family, Zou Chu, slapped the grain shop owner on the left cheek.

A slapping sound rang out in the inner courtyard.

The sudden slap in the face made the grain shop owner even more determined in his thoughts, and he knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.

You know, if the price of grain drops, I will have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to the owner of the house for this deal!

"Master!" The owner of Zou's Grain Shop was kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely terrified.

After this slap, the anger of Zou Chu, the head of the Zou family, subsided a little.

He cursed with dismay:

"How do you find the time?"

"It was the same when we sold the old grain last time, and it was the same when we bought the early millet this time."

"It's only half a day away."

Feeling that the patriarch's anger had subsided, the shopkeeper of Zouji Grain Shop lowered his head and admitted his mistake, while cautiously speaking:

"Then, Master... could it be that the grain from the south has arrived this time?"

"It would be good if grain was shipped from the south." Zou Chu sneered:

"It's those barbarians. They've surrounded the border!"

Hearing Zou Chu talking about the barbarians, the shopkeeper of Zou's Grain Shop suddenly felt puzzled:

"Just barbarians?"

"Master, they used to raid Daliang after the autumn harvest, but they've never penetrated deep into Beiyun County!"

"Why worry so much?"

When Zou Chu saw the owner of his grain store asking about this, he clenched his fists:

"If you're still trying to get something for nothing as usual, I won't punish you."

"But this time the barbarians dispatched a total of 180,000 cavalry!"

"Eighty thousand cavalrymen are besieging the city and holding the gates. The remaining 100,000 cavalrymen have already bypassed the three border cities and entered the northern territory!"

"I'm afraid they're going to march south to invade our Daliang capital and take over our northern border in one fell swoop!"

"We can't stay in Beiyang City anymore. The grain is even more inconvenient to transport along the way. You've collected so much this time, we can only sell it at a low price! In the next few days, the entire Zou family will focus on raising funds and heading south!"

"That slap just now was your punishment."

"While the other families haven't reacted yet and the prices are lower, you can get rid of the grain. Don't you need me to teach you?"

"Master...I!" After hearing the master's story, the grain shop owner knelt on the ground, his eyes blurred with tears. He never expected that after committing such a mistake, the master would only give him a small punishment. This moved him beyond words:

"Death is inevitable!"

Seeing the grain shop owner expressing his loyalty, Zou Chu, the head of the Zou family, nodded and walked out of the grain shop.

Sitting in the carriage returning home, Zou Chu looked at the grain shop and sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that you, an old man, are still somewhat useful..."

......

The words are divided into two parts.

In Shen Qian's house, everyone was fast asleep.

Wang Miaomiao carefully opened the door of the room.

After making sure all the doors were tightly closed, he tiptoed towards the backyard.

But she didn't notice.

Xiao Qi, who was lying next to her today, was awakened the moment she stood up.

A pair of big eyes kept blinking in the dark room.

I listened to Wang Miaomiao getting dressed, and she didn't make a sound until she opened the door.

Ten seconds after Wang Miaomiao left the house, Xiaoqi also sat up from the bed.

The only difference from Wang Miaomiao was that she didn't wear an outer coat.

He walked barefoot to the door of A Niang's room.

Push the door gently.

The door was found to be blocked from the inside by a heavy object.

Anxious in my heart:

My sister must have gone to the pigpen, but my mother's door was blocked. How could I wake her up?

As she was thinking, she glanced at her third brother Wang Wu's room.

As soon as the man reached the door, snoring sounds came from inside the room.

With a gentle push, the door opened without any hindrance.

In joy, Xiao Qi quickly ran into the room and patted the three of them on the face!

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

The snoring stopped abruptly!

Xiaoqi thought that his third brother Wang Wu was woken up by him.

But not long after, the third brother Wang Wu was still motionless, and the snoring sound started again!

"Hululu~"

Hearing the snoring getting louder and louder, Xiao Qi gathered all his strength this time and rushed towards the third brother's face!

'Snapped! '

A clear slap sounded.

Wang Wu sat up from the bed instantly.

A pair of eyes scanned the dark house in confusion.

Screaming in panic:

"Who?"

"Who hit me!"

Hearing the call of the third brother, Xiao Qi subconsciously turned back and found that the door was closed. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he spoke quickly:

"Third Brother!"

"I did."

"My second sister went to the pigpen."

"I'm afraid she's going to attack Niu Niu!"

Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, Wang Wu, who was originally panicked, suddenly felt relieved.

I thought to myself: How come this little sister is so like her parents? The same habit of slapping, passed down from grandma to mother, has now been passed down to Xiaoqi.

It seems that Xiao Qi will be included in the list of people that we should not mess with in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaoqi's voice also entered his ears.

When he heard that his second sister was going to attack the cow in the pigpen, he immediately jumped out of bed.

I didn't even bother to wear shoes.

He opened the door and ran out.

Seeing this, Xiaoqi hurriedly followed behind, but was afraid of disturbing her second sister and failing to catch her, so he did not open his mouth to call his third brother Wang Wu.

The back of the house.

In the small circle outside the pigpen, a large waterwheel was parked.

A furtive figure crept up to the waterwheel.

In one hand she held a mallet, in the other a sharp log.

Aim the log at the underside of the barrel and hammer it!

'boom! '

'boom! '

A muffled sound came from where she exerted force.

Then I saw that the side wall of the wooden barrel, which was not that thick to begin with, was pierced by the log thorns.

Seeing the effect.

She pounded harder.

I muttered to myself: Migrate with water, huh! I see the waterwheel is broken, what are you going to do?

Anyway, I plan to stay here, and you won't be there to get in the way.

Lin Jia Sanlang will definitely change his mind!

The thought of it made her excited, and she increased her strength even more!

'boom! '

Another muffled sound.

The bucket is broken!

Looking at the big wooden barrel she had broken, she actually felt a sense of revenge from the bottom of her heart.

the second!

Just as she was chiseling the third wooden barrel, Wang Wu had already arrived in the backyard.

At a glance, I saw my second sister Wang Miaomiao sneaking around the ox cart.

A cry of surprise came out of his mouth:

"Second sister!"
