Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Looking at the Wu family fleeing in panic, Bai Guo laughed out loud with his arms crossed over his chest.

Lingling was now blustering, her hands on her hips. "Humph, old woman, you really think you're so great."

Looking at her, Qu Jingyao couldn't help but put her hand to her lips and laughed out loud. Liu looked at the direction where the Wu family left, and walked to her side with worried eyes.

"Yaoyao and the others..."

"Don't worry, Mom. They don't dare to be too arrogant. They are just trying to scare us with words."

Qu Jingyao used both coaxing and deception to calm Liu's emotions. Not long after the Wu family left, Dashan and Qu Qingchen drove a carriage to the tea shed.

"Mom, little sister, you've been waiting for a long time, right? How are the pearl flowers selling today?"

The series of questions made Qu Jingyao not know which one to answer first, and she complained to him helplessly.

Liu felt relieved after watching the brother and sister fighting, and shouted to them to leave first.

As Dashan cracked the whip, "Snap, sit tight and go home!" Everyone smiled at each other, as if nothing had happened.

Lingling happily told them that the pearl flowers were sold out very quickly, and some girls were upset because they couldn't buy any.

Dashan didn't expect that this thing was so popular. Qu Qingchen looked at his sister with a smile. Ever since he knew that his sister was protected by the gods, he firmly believed that nothing could defeat his sister.

"Mother, this is the silver from selling the game. It's exactly five and a half taels. Please keep it."

Liu looked at the silver and money her son handed over and asked in surprise why he sold so much.

He smiled foolishly and scratched his head, explaining that the shopkeeper was a good person and charged according to the price set by his sister before.

Qu Jingyao curled the corners of her lips. The owner of Yuxuan Pavilion was really sensible.

At this time, Dashan praised Qu Qingchen for his ability to catch so many prey. He was about to explain when he was stopped by his sister's eyes.

Early this morning, she released the Dabai couple to the back mountain and told them to come back at night, otherwise they would definitely scare the aunts.

Qu Qingchen suddenly came to his senses. The fact that his sister could communicate with animals should not be known to others. Also, Dabai and the others were unacceptable to the villagers. It would be better to avoid causing trouble for his sister. He smiled awkwardly and lowered his eyes.

"Yaoyao, can you also teach me embroidery? I saw that the patterns you made today are all very beautiful."

As soon as she said that, Lingling quickly explained that she could also embroider. Although her embroidery was not as exquisite as Liu Zhier's, it was not much worse!

"it is good!"

"I'm telling you...ah? You agree?" She blinked in disbelief and tilted her head to look at Qu Jingyao beside her.

Her shoulders were shaking with laughter, and Lingling blushed and reached for her waist.

Liu looked at the two people fighting and helplessly reminded them to be careful, but she was still worried about what the Wu mother and daughter had said before.

Qu Jingyao had noticed the change in her mother's expression out of the corner of her eye, and sighed helplessly in her heart. It seemed that she had to deal with the Wu family as soon as possible, otherwise her mother would always worry about her.

Dashan was driving a shaky ox cart towards Lingshui Village, complaining to Qu Qingchen beside him that the price of grain in the town had risen again. If this continued, the people would have to eat tree bark!

The seeds have just been planted in the fields and the harvest will not come for a few months. The food stored at home has almost been eaten up. How are we going to live in the days ahead?

"Did Uncle Zheng from Dashan prepare some more food?" Qu Jingyao asked with a frown.

Dashan cracked his whip and, with a long sigh, began to pour out his bitter words:

"Aunt, Yaoyao, you don't know that our family has almost spent all their savings on grandma's medical treatment. The little money left was used by Dad to buy food last time, but that's still a drop in the bucket."

When Qu Jingyao heard his words and looked at Lingling, who was leaning against the bed with a look of resentment on her face, she suddenly made a decision.

"Brother Dashan, turn the ox cart around and let's go back to town."

"Ah? Sister Yao, do you want to buy anything else?"

Dashan asked in surprise.

Liu was also puzzled as to what her daughter was going to do.

Qu Jingyao explained to them seriously that the rising food prices meant that the situation was getting worse, so they had to store more food.

Qu Qingchen also nodded in agreement, and said in a muffled voice: "I'll listen to my sister. Then let's go back and buy food."

Qu Jingyao comforted Lingling and her sister, telling them not to worry. She could give them the money from selling the pearl flowers in advance so that they could prepare more food. If they felt it was not enough, she could lend them some temporarily.

Dashan opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything due to embarrassment, but he heard his sister thanking her happily.

"Yaoyao, you are so good to my family. This time the money is just a loan. I will pay you back when I make money." She hugged Qu Jingyao's arm and her eyes turned red.

Qu Jingyao smiled and shook her head, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and raised her eyebrows jokingly:

"Oh! Our Miss Xu is even throwing out golden beans. Seriously, take them back. I'm good to your family because uncle and aunt are good to us too!"

Lingling patted her hand shyly, and suddenly burst into laughter, making Liu, Baiguo and the others laugh as well.

After the ox cart swayed for a quarter of an hour, it arrived at the gate of Ruyang City. Today, there were fewer officers checking the gate, so entering was much faster.

"Brother Dashan, go to the grain store on West Street."

"Okay, hold on tight!" As he spoke, Dashan whipped the ox cart and drove it wobbly towards West Street.

Liu hadn't been to the town for a long time. The last time she came was when her husband was still alive. Thinking of her dead husband, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

The bustling streets and noisy shouts made Liu forget her sadness temporarily.

The ox cart stopped outside the grain shop. A group of people gathered at the door, begging the owner of the grain shop to sell them some grain at a low price. If this continued, the whole family would starve to death.

Qu Jingyao heard a group of people around him muttering that if they couldn't buy low-priced grain, they would have to use their grain seeds to fill their stomachs.

The waiter in the shop was driving away the wailing people in front of the door, and at this moment he began to explain helplessly.

"The price of grain isn't decided solely by our boss. The grain he collects also costs money, right? If we give it all away for free, then the boss and his family will be left with nothing."

The old man who had been guarding the door for several days squatted in the corner, slapping his head in frustration. He really couldn't think of a better way.

Liu sighed helplessly. If this continued, people would start selling their children. This world was really torturous!

Qu Jingyao told Baiguo to take good care of his mother and Lingling, and asked his brother to go with her.

"Brother Dashan, please guard the ox cart. We will be out soon."

After she finished explaining, she called her brother and they squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the grain shop. The waiter looked up and saw Qu Jingyao, and hurriedly nodded and bowed to greet her.

"The girl is here, are you planning to buy some more food?"

Qu Jingyao looked around the shop, looking at the piles of grain inside, and a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes. This owner was also a black-hearted owner who made a fortune from the national crisis. There was so much grain, but...
