In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Xie Chengjin stipulated that the price of this grain store must be reduced to the normal grain price level, even though all the grain in the grain store was bought back by the owner himself at a high price. For this reason, the owner was fined a lot of money. The owner could be said to have lost a lot of money. However, Xie Chengjin had all the evidence in his hands, and he had no room to refute. What's more, he was taking a risk by doing this. Now that the truth has been revealed, he can only spend money to avoid disaster, which is already a good thing.

The matter of the grain store came to an end, and Xie Chengjin moved back to the capital to work, and he also had time to accompany Su Zhizhi every day.

However, Xie Chengjin was still a little worried about the renovation of the grain store, so he simply sent someone he trusted to monitor the renovation of the grain store until it met Xie Chengjin's requirements.

However, the grain store was closed down, and the people around it began to complain. Although the food in the grain store was a bit expensive in comparison, it was the fastest way for them to buy food. But now that the grain store has been renovated, all the previous food has been confiscated by Xie Chengjin and his men. Now if the grain store wants to continue operating, the owner has to buy food out of his own pocket. In this way, the people around it cannot get their food needs met.

The supply is insufficient to meet the demand, and Xie Chengjin had not expected it to be like this. Seeing the people outside the city coming into the city to cry every few days, Xie Chengyong began to doubt whether what he did was right or wrong. But now, no matter whether it was right or wrong, things have become like this. So he can only find a way to solve the problem of the people outside the city's demand for food and grass.

After much deliberation, Xie Chengjin discussed the matter with Su Zhizhi. Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, the issue of food and grass isn't difficult to resolve. I have enough food and grass to temporarily resolve the crisis, but..."

Su Zhizhi hesitated. Seeing this, Xie Chengjin quickly asked, "But how?"

Su Zhizhi shook her head and said, "It's just that Peizhi used his connections to buy the food in my shop. Although the shop is mine, Peizhi is still the one in charge most of the time. If I want to use this food, I need Peizhi's consent."

Xie Chengjin suddenly realized that he almost forgot that Su Peizhi also had a share of the food and fodder.

Seeing that Xie Chengjin was also in a dilemma, Su Zhizhi sighed and took the initiative to say, "Forget it, leave this matter to me. I will go to discuss this matter with Peizhi. However, Peizhi hasn't come back yet. If you want, I can give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

Xie Chengjin also felt sorry for Su Zhizhi's tiredness, and couldn't help but say: "Zhizhi, there's no need to rush about this matter. If it doesn't work, I can find a solution myself."

Su Zhizhi just smiled back at Xie Chengjin, then turned and walked towards Su Peizhi's yard. Looking at the time, it was almost time for Su Peizhi to come back.

Sure enough, Su Zhizhi didn't have to wait long before she heard the servant calling Su Peizhi.

When Su Peizhi pushed the door open, he saw Su Zhizhi sitting alone at the table, not knowing what she was waiting for, or perhaps she was in a daze.

Su Peizhi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xie Chengjin. Su Zhizhi finally came back to her senses and smiled at Su Peizhi. "Why are you back so early today?"

Su Peizhi looked at the time outside in confusion, then looked at Su Zhizhi in confusion and asked, "Sister, what happened? Are you confused? I always come back at this time?"

Su Zhizhi smiled awkwardly, then explained her purpose. After listening to Su Zhizhi's words, Su Peizhi nodded happily, "This behavior is naturally good. How could I not agree? However, we can't really give away all the food and fodder."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi quickly said, "Of course it can't be all of it. I'm thinking of donating one-third of the food and fodder. This will firstly help solve the urgent needs of the people outside the capital, and secondly, it will help build a good reputation among the people, which will also be of great benefit to the future development of the store."

Su Peizhi naturally believed that Su Zhizhi would never joke about his shop. He smiled and followed Su Zhizhi to do it.

Soon, the news of Su Zhizhi's donation of food and grass spread from the capital. Many people in the capital also heard about the food and grass store outside the city. They looked at Su Zhizhi with admiration. Su Zhizhi's store was crowded with people for a while. There were even many merchants who were not from the capital who came from afar just to discuss cooperation with Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi naturally wanted to make good use of this incredible wealth. For a while, Su Peizhi, Xie Chengjin and Meng's mother were all busy with the store's affairs. For a while, Su Zhizhi even neglected to take care of Jiaojiao.

This wave of traffic did not last long, but it was enough for Su Zhizhi to make a fortune. When everything returned to normal, Su Zhizhi finally had some free time.

Previously, Su Zhizhi had been busy with the store's affairs, and although she noticed something was wrong, she had no time to pay attention. Now that she had some free time, Su Zhizhi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have not seen the little girl Jiaojiao for a few days.

Jiaojiao had just gotten better, and Su Zhizhi was a little worried about whether Jiaojiao still had any problems, so she simply dragged Xie Chengjin to see Jiaojiao. Ever since Su Zhizhi found a wet nurse for Jiaojiao, the wet nurse had been living alone in a courtyard with Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao was young and did not need too many servants to serve her, so in the entire courtyard, there were only Jiaojiao, the wet nurse, and a few servants who were responsible for daily cleaning.

When Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin pushed the door open, Jiaojiao huddled in the corner of the room by herself, squatting and hugging herself tightly. When she heard the sound, she just huddled tighter, looking at the newcomers timidly with her big eyes.

When she found out that it was Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin, a smile flashed across Jiaojiao's face. She wanted to get up and move closer, but she didn't know what she was thinking about, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

Su Zhizhi felt a little confused when she saw Jiaojiao like this. She could only approach Jiaojiao cautiously and called out softly, "Jiaojiao, can you come to my place?"

Hearing Su Zhizhi's familiar and gentle call, Jiaojiao couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Su Zhizhi's arms and burst into tears, crying so hard that Su Zhizhi was heartbroken.

Xie Chengjin, who was standing aside, also felt very uncomfortable, but his eyes seemed to have seen something unusual.
