What does fifty times mean?!

The old coarse grains that used to cost 2 coins per pound now cost 100 coins!

Pork that originally cost 25 coins per catty now costs 1250 coins!

How many ordinary people can afford such expensive grain?

Anyway, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village simply can't afford it!

No, now all the grain shops in Qingzhou have no grain to sell!

Even if you could afford it, you couldn't buy it!

The people of Qingzhou have been unable to buy food for two days.

With a somber expression, Su Yunhai bought only twenty catties of salt and returned to the restaurant.

Shen Shuli was already awake. Seeing her parents walk past the door, she quickly chased after them.

"Mom and Dad, why do you look like that?"

Shen Shuli had no idea what had happened to her parents, as their faces looked so somber.

Su Yunhai did not hide anything and recounted the terrifying grain prices in the city.

Shen Shuli remained silent for a while before explaining to her parents the reasons behind the soaring grain prices.

"It must be because the Lin family has monopolized all the grain in Qingzhou, which has prevented grain merchants from replenishing their supplies in a short period of time, causing the grain prices in the city to be so distorted."

"The Lin family is truly despicable! They actually disregard the lives of the people of the entire prefecture!"

"What's even more infuriating is that this method was actually taught to the Lin family by that girl Wanwan!"

"What kind of vicious daughter have I raised?!"

Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua gritted their teeth in fury!

They truly regret teaching Lin Wanwan these out-of-touch ideas.

Originally, the two only wanted their daughter to have more survival skills in this ancient world.

After all, in ancient feudal ideology, women had the hardest time.

They just wanted their daughter to have an easier life.

Who would have thought that Wanwan wasn't their daughter!

"Mom and Dad, don't be angry. We can't control others, we can only take care of ourselves."

Shen Shuli sighed and continued explaining her plan.

"I plan to go to the place where the Lin family keeps their grain, move all of their grain away, and then sell it to the people in the city at a low price under the guise of a merchant. I'll save as many people as I can."

Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua's eyes lit up, and they both raised their hands in agreement.

"Daughter, let's do it this way, I agree!" Su Yunhai immediately smiled with satisfaction.

As expected of his daughter, she has such a broad perspective!

“I agree! But we don’t have much time left. We’re leaving tomorrow. Will we be too late?” Shen Yuehua asked worriedly.

"Hmm, we might not have enough time." Shen Shuli also felt that time was a bit tight.

"I'll go get the grain first and then think of another way," Shen Shuli said.

"Okay, be careful! Everyone outside is saying that the Lin family's place was robbed again today, and the officials are checking very closely." Shen Yuehua looked at her daughter with a teasing smile and reminded her.

Shen Shuli awkwardly touched her nose. "Hehehe, I'm leaving now."

South Gate.

A large crowd of people were still queuing to leave the city at the city gate.

There are too many refugees stranded in the city in recent days, but the government cannot block them all from passing through.

All disaster victims entering the city were given only one day to purchase supplies before leaving immediately.

Not wanting to waste time, Shen Shuli took advantage of her small size to squeeze to the front and cut in line.

To quell the anger of the people behind her, Shen Shuli chuckled and stuffed a handful of copper coins into the old woman's hand.

The old woman immediately accepted it with a smile, happily letting Shen Shuli cut in line.

After successfully leaving the city, Shen Shuli immediately led out a horse from her spatial storage and galloped quickly towards the forest garden.

Half an hour later.

Shen Shuli stood outside the gate of Lin Garden.

The forest garden was heavily guarded, with many armored guards standing watch at the entrance and along the walls.

This must mean there's some valuable grain hidden here!

Shen Shuli's eyes shone with a burning light as she circled the wall from a distance.

Finally, a weak point in the defense was found.

This is the most remote part of the forest, guarded by only four guards.

To avoid attracting the attention of the nearby guards, Shen Shuli took out a tranquilizer dart and shot the four people with it from a distance.

Seeing that all four people had fallen, Shen Shuli immediately took out a ladder from her spatial storage and climbed over the wall.

The defenses within the forest garden were equally tight, demonstrating the importance the Lin family placed on this batch of grain.

Shen Shuli could only slowly and carefully find opportunities to deal with these Lin family guards.

There weren't many anesthetic needles stored in the space, and Shen Shuli couldn't bear to waste them here, so she had to find another way.

Just as she was getting anxious, Shen Shuli saw a maid slowly approaching carrying something.

Shen Shuli's eyes lit up immediately. She knocked the maid unconscious on the path the maid was sure to take, changed into the maid's clothes, and swaggered through every corner of the Lin Garden.

The person in charge of guarding this batch of grain in Linyuan was Lin Jingxuan, the second son of Lin Wufeng.

Lin Jingxuan has loved martial arts since childhood and is the best martial artist among the six Lin brothers.

It was within Shen Shuli's expectations that he would be in charge of guarding the forest garden.

Lin Jingxuan was still practicing his swordplay in the courtyard, the sword whistling loudly, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Shen Shuli glanced at him once and left immediately to continue searching for the granary.

Although the original owner would come to Lin Yuan every year to escape the summer heat, she really didn't know where in Lin Yuan could so much grain be stored.

Having already wasted a lot of time, Shen Shuli was getting a little impatient and came up with a plan.

She immediately set fire to the warehouse closest to the hospital.

The weather was dry, and the fire quickly spread throughout the building.

"It's terrible! There's a fire! Someone come quick!"

Upon seeing the billowing smoke, the servants immediately ran out in terror to call for help.

Soon, the fire alerted all the private soldiers guarding the town and Lin Jingxuan.

Lin Jingxuan knew that there was a lot of grain hidden in the Lin Garden, and this grain was very important to the entire Lin family.

His expression changed, and he immediately led his men toward the fire.

Seeing that it was just a small warehouse, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fearing there might be a fire hazard there, they quickly took their people away to check.

Shen Shuli quietly followed behind Lin Jingxuan and soon arrived at the large granary she had been searching for.

"So it was hidden here all along." Shen Shuli suddenly realized.

This is a garden, and the entrance is inside a rockery.

There was a hidden room beneath the artificial hill. After Lin Jingxuan led his men inside, the door to the hidden room was already closed.

Shen Shuli certainly couldn't just go in like that; she would definitely run into these people.

She waited patiently outside, and soon the person inside came out.

She immediately threw a sleeping pill at the entrance of the artificial hill.

Lin Jingxuan and his six guards, who had just come out, were caught off guard and inhaled the sleeping drug. They all fainted after a few breaths.

Shen Shuli gently kicked Lin Jingxuan a few times, and seeing that he was completely unaware, she immediately opened the secret passage and went down.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Shuli walked out with a satisfied look on her face.

She glanced at Lin Jingxuan, who was still lying unconscious on the ground, and left with mixed feelings.

When the original owner was in the Lin family, Lin Wufeng's sons treated her very well.

But all of that is in the past.

The original owner's second and fifth brothers were present at the poetry gathering that day.

They just watched as Madam Lin slapped the original owner of the body, and not a single person came out to stop her.

The original owner desperately sought help from the two, but they ignored her completely, deliberately turning away to look elsewhere and refusing to look at her.

Although she is not the Lin family's biological daughter, were all the feelings she had for each other over the past thirteen years fake?
