A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 11 Did the old woman eat shit?
Xia Ning couldn't believe that a mere landlord could plunder so much stuff. He wondered how many bad things this old bastard had done and how many innocent people he had harmed over the years.
Fortunately, she killed him, preventing him from harming the people.
It's getting light.
When dawn breaks and the servants wake up, they will see the corpse and surely report it to the police. The magistrate will definitely seal off the county town for a thorough investigation, and she must escape before the city gates are sealed off.
Although staying here wouldn't yield any evidence or lead to her arrest, it would at least prevent her from stockpiling goods. Time was tight, the task was heavy, and she couldn't sleep until she spent all the money.
Xia Ning walked to the vicinity of the city gate, intending to wait for it to open and be among the first to leave.
Sigh, she's not familiar with the city, and it's this time of day. She doesn't even know where to rent a car, let alone a mule cart. Walking would take forever.
This was the first time Xia Ning had done something so important, and she was both scared and excited, her steps were even a little unsteady. Everyone looked like they were there to arrest her, and she was so nervous that her undershirt was soaked with sweat.
Sure enough, she was a law-abiding citizen, too kind.
The city gates opened, and Xia Ning followed the flow of people leaving the city, her heart filled with joy. She was truly lucky this time; the incident was too dangerous, and she absolutely couldn't let it happen again.
Xia Ning was lucky; she spotted an empty mule cart returning home as soon as she stepped outside. She paid, got on, and was taken to another county town, far away from this troublesome place.
She plans to buy a batch of vegetables, fruits, eggs, and meat in the countryside.
Unbeknownst to her, the city gates were immediately sealed off the moment she left. The news of Master Han's murder at home shocked the entire county. His concubine wept bitterly in the magistrate's arms; her entire family had been wiped out overnight, and she insisted that the magistrate catch the thieves.
The magistrate was also furious. Did they think he was dead? They had openly committed murder right under his nose, and killed almost his father-in-law. Most importantly, they had emptied the Han family's house.
He had coveted the Han family's wealth for far too long, but had never had the chance. The old man was also cunning; if the thief were caught, the silver…
Arrest them, they must be arrested. Lock down the city and arrest them, check every household.
He didn't believe they could move so much stuff out of the city. They were definitely hiding inside, waiting for the city gates to open so they could secretly smuggle it away.
The magistrate's plan was doomed to fail; he would never find it in his lifetime!
The people were secretly pleased; this old bastard had finally fallen, and they secretly praised the bandits for doing a good job!
Xia Ning knew nothing of all this. She bought another mule cart and busied herself collecting goods in the countryside.
There were people buying their produce right at their doorstep, at the same prices they'd pay to set up stalls in the city. And they didn't care about the variety; they wanted everything edible. The villagers were overjoyed. They brought their families and harvested everything they could from their fields.
Scallions, pumpkin, cabbage, radish, apples, pears, dates, grapes, pomegranates, persimmons, lotus root, chili peppers, chestnuts, winter melon, eggs...
She needs chicken, duck, lamb, fish, shrimp, and all kinds of meat, but everything must be killed and cleaned before giving it to her.
The word spread from one village to another, and people from all around came to deliver goods. Xia Ning accepted everything, settled accounts on the spot, and never complained. The villagers were extremely satisfied.
The word spread quickly, and villagers from afar came to sell their goods.
The number of animals was too large, and her mule cart was too small, so they simply rented a large courtyard in town and had someone deliver the animals to her there. Everyone was happy to do so; it was just a short walk, and they had plenty of strength.
Xia Ning is currently using all the money she amassed from the Han family, which she bought for free, and she can't be happier spending it.
Looking at the piles of supplies in the space, she smiled with satisfaction.
On the last day of her delivery, she was greeted by several uninvited guests.
"You brat, it was you! Give me back my money! Give me back my money!"
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and Old Lady Xia, with a strong voice, rolled up her sleeves, looking ready for a big fight.
Holy crap, what are the Xia family doing here? This place isn't close to Pingyang County, is it? They've come all this way to sell vegetables? Are they crazy?
Xia's wife stepped forward, intending to slap her. "You slut, you've finally caught me!" Xia Ning dodged to the side, and she failed.
"You little slut, you dare to hide? Tell me, did you steal my money? And where's the grain? Give it back to me, give it back right now!"
The more she talked, the closer she got, spitting everywhere, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth and a foul stench. The more Xia Ning retreated, the closer she got. Unable to bear it any longer, she squatted down and vomited violently.
Emma, was the original owner's grandmother so hungry that she ate feces?
After vomiting enough, Xia Ning stood up and looked coldly at the Xia family members. "If I don't leave, do you expect me to be sold to the Bai family? Am I that stupid? Would I go rushing to my death? As for the rest, I don't know what you're talking about."
Old Mrs. Xia wasn't about to let her off the hook: "You won't admit it, huh? Who else could it be but you? The house was emptied out as soon as you left. What a coincidence!"
"It was just a coincidence. I was half-dead at the time, and I just wanted to ask, how did I steal from you? You said there was no food left, how could someone like me, with my physique, steal it? Could I even move it?"
The old woman was stumped, and this was something her family couldn't understand either. That wretched girl did nothing but work; she was utterly useless. Who would help her? Besides, after she left, the house was still robbed.
"If you don't have any money, what are you doing now? Where are you going to get the money to harvest vegetables? Huh?"
"I was starving and lying on the ground when an old man happened to pass by. He took pity on me and gave me a piece of bread. He also took me in for a few days. Once I recovered, I helped him pack up his things. What, you're interfering with this too?"
Hearing that she was collecting for someone else, Old Mrs. Xia's eyes darted around. "Where's your wages? Give them to me. Also, our vegetables are all top-quality. How much do you want? I want the highest price!"
Xia Ning was amused by her shamelessness. "No money! We don't accept your things here, so get out of here!"
"I won't take it, you brat, you're asking for it!" Boss Xia glared at her, making a move to hit her.
"If you dare touch me, I'll make sure you rot in jail, believe it or not?" He stared fiercely at Boss Xia.
She's not the Xia Ning they used to be, the one who could be beaten and scolded at will, the one no one could bully.
Xia Laoda felt intimidated by her gaze and murmured, "You are not Xia Ning, you are not her."
Xia Ning snorted coldly, "Of course not, the one who broke into the door was already dead."
"If I'm not Xia Ning, then who am I, Uncle?"
Xia Laoda took two steps back because of her gaze.
"Fellow villagers, it's getting late, and you all need to hurry home after selling your vegetables. This family is seriously affecting my vegetable harvesting progress. Could you please help me get rid of them?"
"You brat, how dare you?" Old Man Xia, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, roared.
Xia Ning didn't even glance at him. That old geezer, he's the most wicked and cunning person in the whole family. Would the old woman and Xia Laoda dare to mistreat the original owner of this body like that without his approval?
Since they're not leaving, she won't harvest the vegetables. Someone else will take care of the problem for her.
