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

"Little Seven!"

Shen Qian's voice exploded in the yard, waking up Xiao Qi who was still lying in bed.

Xiaoqi opened his sleepy eyes and groped his way out of bed.

He walked to the door, opened it and responded loudly:

"Mother! I'm here!"

"Wash your face and go find your Uncle Niu to borrow his ox cart. We are going to the town!" Facing the sleepy Xiao Qi, Shen Qian did not blame him but ordered him directly.

Xiaoqi acted quickly after hearing this.

After simply washing my face with cold water, I woke up.

He ran out without even wiping his face.

As for why her mother asked Uncle Da Niu to borrow the ox cart to go to town, she didn't even think about it.

Shen Qian took a look around the house and found that except for the second child, no one was at home!

But...the farm tools used in the busy farming season are still there.

Obviously, getting up early is not the right thing to do.

After a while, Wang Daniu drove the ox cart and brought Xiaoqi to the door of the house.

After seeing Shen Qian, Wang Daniu jumped off the ox cart and asked with a smile:

"Auntie, you called me here so early in the morning. Are you taking something to town to sell?"

Facing Wang Daniu's question.

Shen Qian didn't hide it either:

"The three pigs at home are almost ready to be released from the cage."

"I'll have to ask you to pull it with a bullock cart."

Wang Daniu saw this and responded with a smile:

"no problem!"

"Let me help Auntie move it!"

As the three pigs were loaded onto the ox cart, Xiaoqi, who had been responsible for feeding them, became red-eyed with grievance.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Qian, and the hatred in them was visible to the naked eye.

A child cannot hide his emotions at all.

"Mom, can you please not sell Huahua?"

"Xiao Qi doesn't want to sell Hua Hua!" Xiao Qi bit her lips tightly, tears in her eyes, ready to fall at any time.

Any old mother would feel soft-hearted when seeing such a pitiful look.

But thinking about escaping famine in the future, the pig must be sold first and then exchanged for a cow.

Shen Qian directly refused:

"no!"

As soon as Shen Qian said no, Xiao Qi screamed "Wow!" and tears and snot kept falling.

Back in the room, Shen Qian unlocked the cabinet, took out the money box, took out the hundred taels of silver she had earned from selling the land, rolled it into a makeshift backpack with rags, and slung it over her shoulder.

When she got on the ox cart, she saw that Xiao Qi's crying had stopped, but her eyes were still staring at her with hatred. With a light shout from Wang Daniu, the ox cart started moving steadily:

"Let's go~"

In about half an hour, the ox cart appeared outside the town.

The low city wall was only three or four meters high and could be easily climbed with a ladder. The soldiers guarding the gate were staggering and had no military spirit at all.

Passersby were not even checked and were all allowed to pass.

After entering the town, there are four or five breakfast shops on the street.

With just one glance, Shen Qian spotted her fifth and sixth sons in a breakfast shop.

At this moment they are sitting in a breakfast shop selling mutton soup and drinking mutton soup comfortably!

Both of them were holding a big meat bun in their hands.

After taking a bite of the meat bun, Wang You went straight to drink the mutton soup, and the sound of smacking his lips could be heard, he really enjoyed it.

The aggrieved Xiaoqi naturally noticed his fifth and sixth brothers who were drinking mutton soup, and thought to himself: Mother wants to sell Ah Hua, and you are still secretly eating meat buns!

Then she asked with a puzzled look on her face:

"Mother, are those the fifth and sixth brothers?"

Facing her question, Shen Qian nodded lightly.

The twin brothers who were eating mutton soup and meat buns over there seemed to sense something and turned their heads stiffly.

When I saw my mother and little sister sitting on the ox cart.

A chill down my spine!

"Ah...Mother!" Wang Liang exclaimed when he saw Shen Qian.

He subconsciously threw the meat bun in his hand into the distance.

Destroying the evidence like a child who has made a mistake.

Wang You also lowered his head in embarrassment at this moment, not daring to look directly at Shen Qian.

"You have quite a bit of private money!" Shen Qian narrowed her eyes, looking intimidating without even getting angry!

Wang You and Wang Liang were so frightened that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to answer at all.

They did not get married and did not go out to earn money. There were only two explanations for the private money they had: they sold the harvest from the mountains privately or they stole money from their mother.

But either of these two things is absolutely not allowed to happen in a large rural family.

There are also many people in the village who have been kicked out of the family tree for the above behaviors.

Moreover, those who are kicked out of the family tree have no way to share the family's land and property, and are truly left to fend for themselves.

With countless precedents, Wang You and Wang Liang were naturally very scared.

And... Uncle Da Niu is with A'mu. As a villager, he will exaggerate the matter when he goes back. Even if A'mu doesn't mind and lets them off for selling the goods privately or stealing the money, it will be extremely difficult for the two of them to find wives in the future!

"We've met him. Why don't you treat the three of us to breakfast?" Shen Qian said as she got out of the car. Xiao Qi followed her and jumped lightly.

But after getting off the car, she kept her eyes on "Ahua" for a long time and was reluctant to look away.

"I...I don't need it, right?" Wang Daniu waved his hands and tried to refuse when he saw Shen Qian taking him with her.

joke!

To have breakfast in town, you need at least seven or eight cents.

With these eight cents, you can buy two pounds of corn.

Moreover, the normal car rental fee for him to drive Shen Qian to the town was only ten cents.

How can you have the nerve to charge after you’ve already eaten?

"Come on, Uncle Niu."

"This is my way of honoring you as a younger generation." Shen Qian knew what Wang Daniu was worried about, so she directly gave him a reason that he could not refuse, blocking his way out.

Hearing that it was a tribute, Wang Daniu responded stiffly:

"Okay...okay."

"Boss, bring three more bowls of mutton soup and five meat buns!" Shen Qian shouted loudly after she took Wang Daniu and Xiao Qi to sit at the small table where Wang You and Wang Liang had eaten before.

The boss just took a look and agreed directly:

"okay!"

"Please wait!"

As the mutton soup and buns came up, Shen Qian took two and stuffed them directly into Wang Daniu's hands.

I took a bite and the hot gravy instantly flowed into my mouth from the bun.

10 feet of scent!

Another mouthful of mutton soup is so delicious.

At the same time, I cursed in my heart: Why didn’t I come to the town more often to enjoy myself in my previous life?

Wang Daniu took a bite of the bun and whispered:

"I've never seen anything like this happen today."

After making their stance clear, they ate faster, probably because the feeling of guilt disappeared.

Wang You and Wang Liang, who were standing by, understood what the fourth brother and his wife felt yesterday.

Wang You was better off, at least he still had the bun in his hand and could secretly take a bite.

Wang Liang was in trouble.

He dropped the bun on the ground because he was nervous.

I don't know where it was picked up by a beggar.

"Pay the bill." After seeing Wang Daniu finish his meal, Shen Qian ordered the fifth and sixth sons.

Seeing this, Wang You looked at Wang Liang with embarrassment.

"I...I only have 25 copper coins. Lao Liu, how much do you have?"

"Let's pay for the meal together." Wang You tried to keep his voice as low as possible when speaking, obviously still thinking about having a surplus after paying the bill.

"Including the previous ones, the total is 18 copper coins." Wang Liang answered in a low voice.

The two of them almost fell to the ground after they had a plan.

A bowl of mutton soup costs 7 copper coins, and a meat bun costs 1 copper coin.

There were five bowls of mutton soup and seven big meat buns in total, and only one copper coin was left after paying the bill!

But now my mother is watching me, what can I do?

Checkout...

Wang You, feeling distressed, handed the copper coin to the shopkeeper.

The shop owner smiled brightly:

“Come more often next time!”

Only after following his mother onto the ox cart did Wang Liang react.

I couldn't help but wail:

"Mutton soup!"

"I haven't had my mutton soup yet!"
