A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

"What's the matter?"

“We are the Du family of Hangzhou. My master has come to visit your master.”

So, they're just using him as a doorman? Who is the Du family? He doesn't know them.

Jiang Yi was speechless.

Looking at the best-dressed old man, she said, "I am the owner of this house. What do you want with me?"

So young? Yes, I heard that both stores are run by a young couple.

"Hello, so you're the one who owns the grain shop! It's an honor to meet you! I am Mr. Du, the eldest son of the Du family. May I come in and have a chat?"

We don't know what they're up to, so let's probe first.

"come in!"

He led them to sit down in the main hall of the front courtyard.

Du Sheng's lips twitched as he looked at the teapot that wasn't even a proper teapot. Was it really appropriate to treat a guest like this, without even a cup of hot water? Was he being slighted?

"I'm sorry, the courtyard has just been built, and we are new here. We don't even have any servants or anyone to boil water. We're sorry to trouble you, Master Du."

"No problem, no problem. I came uninvited, and if anyone is being presumptuous, it's me. May I ask your name, young man?"

Hmm, he's quite self-aware; it was indeed his abruptness.

"Jiang Yi."

A prominent family surnamed Jiang? I don't think I've ever heard of them.

"May I ask what brings Master Du here in person?"

Du Sheng, who was about to exchange pleasantries: ...Is he just straightforward, or does he not like him?

"I heard that the recently popular Yipinzhai is owned by Brother Jiang?"

"Yes."

When Du Sheng heard him admit it himself, his heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

"To be honest, Brother Jiang, I also run a grain shop. In the past, the people of Hangzhou relied entirely on my shop for supplies."

"Master Du is amazing!"

Du Sheng: ...

"To my shame, business at the shop has been terrible lately. It's because I'm not good enough to get cheap and good grain."

"Mr. Du, there's no need to be modest."

"However, I've also inquired and it seems there haven't been any large quantities of grain entering the city recently. I wonder where Brother Jiang's goods came from?"

"Oh, I got it through other channels."

Du Sheng smiled indifferently; if it were him, he wouldn't have said anything either.

"I wonder if Brother Jiang could sell me the goods? As you know, running a shop is quite complicated. Why don't I take care of it for you? After all, I know the situation in Hangzhou better. What do you think?"

Want to buy all his goods? Do you have that much money?

"I wonder what price Mr. Du is looking for to purchase the goods?"

“You’re selling it for half the price now.” Du Sheng looked at him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. “My Du family has been selling grain for generations. It can be said that in Hangzhou, the Du family is the number one merchant family, and no one dares to say they are second. Anyone who wants to open a big shop in Hangzhou or make money in Hangzhou will come to the Du family to pay their respects first. Young brother, you are new here, and it’s a year of famine, so I can understand that you don’t know the rules.”

Good heavens, they ate up half of his price in one go, clearly making him lose money while they made a profit.

Jiang Yi was a little unhappy. He thought that being greedy and not chewing properly could easily lead to overeating and even causing him to die.

"Master Du, you should know the current grain prices. At the current prices, I can say that I'm already losing money."

"Hahaha... Losing money? Do you know how much I've lost because of you? My warehouse's coarse rice and flour are now completely unwanted."

Kid, before you start messing around, you should think about your own capabilities, your appetite, and how much you can eat. I don't care if you profit or lose; it's half price. I want as much grain as I need, you give me that much. If you're short even a pound, your newly built little yard might not even be here anymore.

Seeing that he was all alone, with perhaps a woman inside at most, Du Sheng made no attempt to conceal his true nature and purpose. How could he possibly resist alone? What could they possibly do to him?

Play with him, you'll outplay him!

Damn it, he's been eating unpalatable brown rice every day, and this bastard even sells refined grains. He should be selling them at such low prices, otherwise his shop would be completely saturated with customers. Is that even possible?

He initially thought that someone with such skill must be a wealthy family or a high-ranking official, so he didn't dare to act rashly. After making several inquiries, he finally found out about this place.

He came here today just to test the waters and didn't intend to make a move, but this person didn't take him seriously at all, not even offering him a cup of tea, and treating him coldly.

Then he saw that there was no one at home. He realized that even if he didn't take action, the man would look down on him, so he changed his attitude.

"Is Master Du trying to force me to do something I can't?"

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? Besides supplying me with goods, also reveal your supply channels!"

Du Sheng banged on the table. He had shops all over the country. In many places, there was money but no grain. As long as he had grain, all the silver would come into his hands.

Ah, once the years of famine are over, he will surely be richer than a country and become the richest man in the Great Xia Dynasty.

She glanced at Jiang Yi, that big idiot, ha, she could only be a stepping stone for him, he wouldn't pay her for the goods.

"That ignorant brat!" Jiang Sheng clutched his chest, feeling a pang of heartache as he thought about the grain he had sold in the past few days.

What a spendthrift! He's lost so much money.

Jiang Yi's eyes were somewhat fierce. You can treat him badly, ignore him, despise him, even scold him and beat him, but if anyone causes him to lose a single penny, he will take their life.

Jiang Yi keenly sensed the intense killing intent. Stealing his grain, stealing his business, and now trying to kill him—they were utterly inhuman! Since that was the case, he didn't need to be polite. Originally, after he asked for his goods, he hadn't intended to be polite; he was even somewhat excited.

Xiao Ning's secret stash is about to see some additional income.

"What if I don't?"

"Hahaha..." Du Sheng laughed wildly, "Young man, I advise you to be sensible. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your life. It's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death, don't you think?"

“You’re right, Mr. Du. If you take your men out now, I might spare your life.”

Du Sheng was amused by him; today was truly the happiest day for him since the disaster. His already sagging old face twitched, a truly jarring sight.

It's so ugly, I can't let Xiao Ning see it, what if it makes her cry?

"How do you plan to be rude to me?" Du Sheng looked at him, intending to play along for a while. Today, he was unusually patient.

"Mr. Du, look, what's that at the door?"

Four wolves, their eyes gleaming, lay motionless at the doorway, blocking the way out.

"Ah! A wolf!"

Du Sheng and his men screamed in fright.

Hearing the shout, Xia Ning was very curious. What happened? Did the talks break down? Were you scared?

Du Sheng sat in the chair, unable to move. He dared not look at the door; the wolves' stare made his scalp tingle, fearing they would suddenly come up and tear him apart.

The others did the same, unconsciously retreating, retreating.

Damn it, no wonder there wasn't a single person in such a big house, and they weren't afraid. Who the hell keeps wolves at home, four of them, no less?

woo woo woo...

They were terrified!

"Brother Jiang, let's talk this out." Du Sheng was trembling all over, and his voice was shaking as well.

"Awooo..." Bro, where did this coward come from?

"Pattering..."

Jiang Yi looked at him with disdain. Damn it, what a waste, he actually peed!

He made a mess of his and Xiao Ning's home.

"master!"

The butler was dumbfounded. The master had actually wet himself in fear. If he could get back alive, would the master kill him to silence him? He desperately wanted to die. He told the master he had amnesia. Would the master believe him?

Big Ha and Little Ha looked at the cowardly creature in the house with disdain. How could it be so useless, coming to their house to cause trouble?

other people:……

They were actually terrified just now. The wolf howled right in front of them; no one could remain calm in that situation.

"Mr. Du, you've dirtied my house." The anger in his voice was undisguised.

"I...I...I'm sorry! I...I...I'll have someone clean it for you!"

"Awoo..." Master is here!

Everyone shuddered. Please, stop howling! They couldn't take the shock.

Hearing that Xia Ning had arrived, Jiang Yi looked up at the doorway. The place was too filthy; how could she possibly come here?
