After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

The old man looked at Jiang Xiaohua suspiciously, "You want to buy food?"

Li Yuanzhi then came over and bowed his hands first.

He explained politely, "It's like this. Our family was passing through here and we ran out of food."

"I heard that the town ahead is still two or three days away."

"Seeing that you have a lot of food here, I wanted to ask if you could part with it and sell some?"

The old man saw that Li Yuanyi was looking bookish, and then looked at the four children in the car behind him.

His vigilance immediately disappeared, and he twirled his beard and said, "I don't hear your accent sounds like a local."

"Could he be escaping from the south?"

Jiang Xiaohua replied, "Exactly."

The old man nodded and said with emotion, "I have seen strangers passing by from time to time in the village recently."

"When I asked, they were all people who had escaped from the disaster in the south."

"But our village has limited land and does not accept outsiders. If they stay for a while, they all leave."

Jiang Xiaohua said sincerely, "We are just passing by and have no intention of disturbing you."

"If you can sell us some food to meet our urgent needs, our family would be very grateful."

Li Yuanzhi handed it over again, with a more humble attitude, "If the newly harvested grain this year is not suitable for sale."

“The grain reserves from previous years are also acceptable.”

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Come in with me."

Liu Yong had been paying attention to what was going on here. When he saw that the old man had agreed to sell the grain, he immediately said, "Mom, Mr. Li, you go ahead. We'll stay here and watch the car."

Jiang Xiaohua glanced at the courtyard gate. The old man's house was here. The children stayed outside for a while. Even if something happened, she would be able to come out in time.

The two followed the old man into the yard and walked towards the small house on the east side.

The old man opened the curtain, and it turned out that it was not a barn inside, but an ordinary stove.

The old man saw Jiang Xiaohua's doubts and said, "You can't eat the grain I gave you in the shell."

"I still have some wheat flour and corn here, but they were harvested last year. Do you mind?"

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi said hurriedly, "I don't mind, I don't mind."

The old man opened the lids of the two large vats, and there was indeed white flour and golden corn inside.

The old man picked up a big gourd and ladle and asked, "Where is the pocket?"

Li Yuanzhi took out a cloth bag, opened his mouth and got ready.

The old man scooped out five scoops of flour, then scooped out five scoops of corn, and then covered the vat.

"I also need to eat at home, so I can only give you these."

Five scoops of flour only filled half the bag.

But even so, Jiang Xiaohua was still very happy, "Thank you, father-in-law."

The old man brought another steelyard and said, "A pound of wheat flour is a penny, and a pound of corn is also a penny. If you don't have any objection, I will weigh it?"

The price is very reasonable, slightly lower than the prices sold in some urban grain stores.

Jiang Xiaohua nodded and agreed, "You can weigh it."

The final weight was exactly six kilograms of wheat flour and five kilograms and eight taels of corn.

Jiang Xiaohua still had some scattered copper coins on her body, just in time to pay for the food.

Before leaving, she thanked the old man again and again.

The old man was an unsmiling person. He waved his hands, even a little impatiently.

"No need to thank me. I just sold you something. Let's go quickly."

The family got into the mule cart and continued on their way.

Liu Guang started chatting, "That old man looks fierce. I thought he wouldn't sell us food!"

Liu Yong said, "So you can't judge people by their superficial appearance."

"Although grandpa looks fierce, he must be a kind-hearted person."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Li Yuanzhi jerked the reins, and Da Qing stepped on the spot several times before finally stopping.

Liu Guang hurriedly climbed to the front and looked around, "What's going on?"

The mule cart was blocked by many people.

These people are all young and middle-aged men. They are holding hoes, shovels, and pitchforks, and they all have stern expressions.

Li Yuanzhi whispered, "It seems that the person who came here is evil."

Jiang Xiaohua said, "Ask them what they want."

Li Yuanzhi said loudly, "Our family has been in the village for less than half an hour and we will leave soon."

"Please give way, everyone!"

A strong man said solemnly, "You did something bad and you want to run away?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled, "Why is this?"

"We were just passing by, and we only said hello to an old man in your village just now. I think I haven't had the chance to make enemies with you yet."

The strong man sneered, "The old man you are talking about is Uncle Xu!"

"You stole his food and robbed his mules. How dare you say you have no chance to do bad things?!"

Li Yuanzhi was confused, "You said this mule belongs to his family?"

The strong man waved his hand and said, "Why don't you go get the mules and grain back quickly!"

Jiang Xiaohua looked at Li Yuanzhi and said, "We have entered the Black Village."

"Heicun?" Li Yuanzhi was puzzled, "What is this?"

A black village is a village where some illegal activities are done secretly.

For example, the village in front of you should be a place where people do robbery on an amateur basis.

The old man who sold them food before was probably a bait and a tipper.

But Jiang Xiaohua had no time to explain.

The villagers rushed forward with farm tools in hand and surrounded the mule cart in an instant.

The strong man at the head said, "I see you have children with you, so I don't want to embarrass you."

"I advise you to get out of the car and leave now to avoid unnecessary suffering!"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said very calmly, "What you mean is that we can leave."

"But everything, including the car and the mules, has to stay?"

The men looked at each other, a little confused.

Why can this woman still talk to them calmly?

In the past, when people passing by were stopped by them, the women were so frightened that they just wanted to give up their money to save their lives.

Isn't she afraid of this woman? Or don’t you understand the situation at all? !

The four little Doudings now understood what was going on.

Liu Guang jumped up angrily, stood on the carriage board and cursed:

"Bah! How shameless! I even said that grandpa was a good man!"

"It turns out that he is the number one villain! Without a single good person in your village, it is just a den of robbers!"

The truth was exposed by a child.

This group of men felt a little shameless, and the strong man leading the group showed a fierce expression.

"Little bastard, you are young, so be careful what you say, or you may lose your life!"

The four little ones just looked at each other.

Liu Yong picked up the iron pot, Liu Guang and Liu Ming each picked up a basin, and Xiao Miaomiao picked up the lightest pot lid.

The men did not pay attention to the children's actions.

The strong man smiled ferociously and said, "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame us!"

"Do it!"

In an instant, sharp farm tools were thrust towards the mule cart.

However, their attack was unsuccessful.

I saw a kitchen knife coming out of the air, and the strong man in the lead stepped back to avoid it even though he reacted quickly.

A strand of his hair fell in the wind...
