The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

A burly young man came out.

"Erlang, wait a moment, I'll go take care of the cows."

"No hurry, Aunt Cao, please keep these ten cents." Jiang Ci handed over the ten cents.

Aunt Cao refused and said: "Oh, how can you pay back the money with a bullock cart? You, the kid, will have a lot of money to spend on studying in the future, so hurry up and put it away."

"Don't miss this ten cents, otherwise I won't be able to trouble you again in the future, so just accept it."

Seeing Jiang Ci persist, Aunt Cao smiled and accepted.

"Okay, if you want to use a bullock cart next time, you can't give it again."

Jiang Ci nodded politely.

A girl from the east room came out and stared at Jiang Ci shyly.

"Brother Jiang Ci is going to town?"

Jiang Ci looked at the other party with an indifferent expression.

"Ah."

"Juanzi, go pick some vegetables and bring them back to Erlang."

Jiang Ci hurriedly refused: "No, Aunt Cao, we have food at home."

"How many days will your family have enough food to eat? The winter melons and pumpkins in my garden are growing well. I will pick one for you to try. There are no other rare things in the farmyard, just the vegetables grown at home. It’s not worth a few bucks, just don’t mind it.”

Cao Juan immediately ran to the backyard obediently, and soon walked up to Jiang Ci carrying a basket.

She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Jiang Ci shyly, then handed the basket to him.

"Brother Jiang Ci, just accept it."

Jiang Ci thanked him and took the basket.

"I'll bring the basket back later."

"Don't worry, I can go get it from home when I have time."

She has liked Jiang Ci since she was a child, and her dream is to marry him.

When I was a kid, I just thought he was good-looking. All the male dolls in the same village were gray-headed and had two slugs running down their noses. Only he was white and clean. He was like a young master from a wealthy family, completely different from the children in the village. .

As he grew up, he became more and more handsome and outstanding, and he was admitted as a scholar at a young age.

If I hadn't been weak since I was a child, I would have been afraid that the doorsteps of my family would have been broken down by matchmakers.

Others disliked him for his poor health, but she didn't dislike him. As long as she could marry him, she would definitely help him take good care of his health and strive to give him a fat boy.

Every time she thought about this, she couldn't help but want to tell him her feelings.

Jiang Ci didn't know Cao Juan's twists and turns. After Cao Shuanzi brought the ox cart, he drove the ox cart back home.

Cao Juan stood at the door, looking at his leaving figure dreamingly.

Aunt Cao glared at her.

"People are far away and you still want to watch?"

"Mother!" Cao Juan stomped her feet angrily.

Aunt Cao burst into laughter.

"You like Erlang, right? Mom has noticed it a long time ago. Every time you mention Erlang of the Jiang family, your eyes are straight."

Thinking of something, Aunt Cao sighed.

"Erlang is a good boy. If he hadn't been weak since he was young, he would have been able to find a young lady from a wealthy family as his wife. But it's precisely because of his poor health that my mother doesn't want you to suffer the consequences of marrying him. Then It is a hard life for the eldest son of the Jiang family to marry a daughter-in-law whose husband died just after she got married. If you marry Erlang Jiang, if one day he also... wouldn't it mean that you are the only two widows left in the Jiang family? "

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Jiang Ci looks much better now. He will definitely get better and better. It is precisely because of his poor health that others refused to marry me that I have the opportunity to marry him."

Aunt Cao poked Cao Juan on the forehead with her finger.

"Don't be ashamed, how can you, a girl, say such things?"

Cao Juan lowered her head shyly.

"Anyway, I just want to marry him. I can't look down on anyone but him."

Cao Juan is good-looking, and she was the village beauty before Yan Shu came to Qingjiu Village.

But compared with Yan Shu, just in terms of temperament, he is not on the same level.

-

Yan Shu and Jiang Ci rushed to the town together and went straight to the largest grain store in the town.

When they arrived, there was already a line of people outside the door.

"It's only been two days since you've been here, and you've already started grabbing food?"

Jiang Cidao: "I'm afraid the price has gone up a lot again."

He drove the bullock cart to a spacious place and parked it.

"Sister-in-law, wait here, I'll go get in line."

Yan Shu thought for a moment.

"Uncle, please stay in line. I want to go check out the other two grain stores."

"Alright."

Jiang resigned and queued up, and Yan Shu went straight to the other two grain stores. Without exception, the situation was the same as the previous one, and they were both full of people.

Yan Shu stepped forward and asked a young man at the back of the queue.

"Brother, why are you all here to buy food today?"

The younger brother glanced at Yan Shu and saw that she was a beautiful little lady, with a hint of shyness on her wheat-colored face.

"Don't you know, girl?"

"what happened?"

The little brother sighed: "The news came from somewhere yesterday, saying that Zhenbeihou in the north was defeated and lost two cities in a row. Rongdi in the north began to move all the way south, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pass. How long did it take for them to reach us?"

Yan Shu's heart skipped a beat.

Isn’t it half a year before Rong Di goes south?

Why start now?

In the original book, the King of Qi colluded with Rong Di and leaked military secrets to Rong Di. As a result, Rong Di's army was like a broken bamboo, moving south from the northern Xinjiang to attack cities and seize territory, burn, kill and loot.

Is it because of her bug that the plot is advanced?

At this time, someone shouted at the door of the shop.

"The food has been sold out. Please come back tomorrow."

The crowd suddenly became noisy.

"How come it's sold out so quickly? We've been queuing for more than an hour, please give us some space."

The waiter in the store said impatiently: "If you want to buy food, come here early. Everyone should leave."

The boy on the side frowned: "If you can't buy it today, it will be even harder to buy it tomorrow. There are many people in the nearby villages who got the news today. I'm afraid there will be more people coming to buy food tomorrow."

After saying this, the little brother sighed.

"Girl, come earlier tomorrow. If you have extra money, buy more. The price of food keeps changing every day. If it continues to rise, ordinary people will not be able to afford it."

Yan Shu felt that the young man in front of him was very kind, so he smiled and nodded.

"Brother, too. It's best to come over at dawn tomorrow."

"Hey, my home is too far away from the town. I plan to stay here today."

Yan Shu chatted with the younger brother for a few words and then left.

She went straight to Wangyue Tea House, and the waiter recognized her at a glance.

"Miss Yan is here. Did you make an appointment with Sister Lan?"

Yan Shu shook his head: "I want to see your shopkeeper."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Miss Yan, wait a moment, I will go upstairs to invite the shopkeeper."

"It's work."

Yan Shu found an empty seat and sat down to wait.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked over with square steps.

He looked at Yan Shu and bowed politely: "I wonder what the girl is looking for?"

Yan Shu said: "I want to discuss a business deal with the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper just heard from the waiter that the girl in front of him was Sister Lan's friend, so he didn't dare to neglect her.

"Upstairs, please."

The two of them arrived at the private room and sat down.

"Shopkeeper, is the Daoxiang Grain Shop on this street your shop?"

When I met Sister Lan that day, Sister Lan said personally that Daoxiang Liang Shop, Wangyue Tea House, and Xiangchun House were all her employer's properties.

That's why she thought of coming to see the shopkeeper of Wangyue Teahouse.

"Exactly, the girl wants to buy food?"

Everyone has been grabbing food recently. The shopkeeper guessed that the little girl in front of him must have failed to buy food, so he came to him to ask for help.

Yan Shu shook his head.

"I want to sell food."

There was a look of astonishment on the shopkeeper's face. This result was really surprising.

"I saved a batch of grain some time ago and plan to sell it soon. If the shopkeeper is interested, we can discuss it in detail."

"May I ask how much food the girl has in hand?"

Grain prices have skyrocketed recently, and grain merchants are actively stocking up on grain. Almost all the grain in Chiyang County has been purchased by several major grain merchants. Daoxiang Grain Store also stocked some, but it is still far from the goal set by the master. .

Yan Shu reported a number.

"One hundred dan of rice, fifty dan of white flour, fifty dan of millet."

One load of grain is equal to one hundred catties, and one hundred loads is equal to ten thousand catties.

She sold [-] jins of rice, [-] jins of white flour, and [-] jins of millet, which freed up one-third of the space in the grain depot for new grains.

The shopkeeper is so happy that all the food is fine food?This is exactly what the master requested.

"Is what the girl said true?"

"If the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, I can take you over tomorrow to see the food."

"Hey, you are Sister Lan's friend. How can I not believe you? How about we make an appointment tomorrow morning?"

Yan Shu nodded: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

The shopkeeper personally escorted Yan Shu out of the door.

Yan Shu asked the shopkeeper for the address of the dental store. Coincidentally, the dental store was located on this street, at the end of the street.

Arriving at Yaxing, Yan Shu went straight to the point.

"I want to rent a warehouse."

"How big a warehouse does the girl want to rent?"

"Three rooms are enough, with a yard."

Ren Yazi sifted through it carefully.

"There are two suitable ones at the moment. If you have time, girl, I can take you over to have a look."

Yan Shu nodded in agreement.
