This posture startled Fan Yu, and he couldn't help but turn his back to his door and look at these hungry people who were surrounding him.

"Little boy, please have mercy on me and save everyone's lives!" An elderly man, holding a runny child in one hand, pleaded with bitterness on his face.

As soon as the old man began, the rest of the people began to shout.

"Fan Gongzi, everyone can't live anymore, please do well and give everyone some food."

"Little good people live a long life, and I haven't eaten a full meal for days. If you do this good deed today, you will be blessed and blessed in the future. ”

"Please, son, take out the food at home and save everyone."

There was nothing to say, hundreds of people from near to far, and their voices were noisy.

Still, Fan Yu heard something. These hungry people thought they had food in their hands to feed hundreds of them.

Knowing the meaning of this hungry man's words, Fan Yu's mind exploded a little, and anger couldn't help but rise from his heart. Who is making up their own rumors, so outrageous? It's clearly harming yourself.

But Fan Yu knew that the more this time, the more he couldn't get angry easily. In the face of so many hungry people, if it triggers public anger, I am afraid that it will be an unforeseen disaster.

After calming himself down, Fan Yu calmed down and raised his hands to press downward, making the field quiet.

"Folks, do you look at my family, as if it has food to feed hundreds of people? Who told you that I have much bread in my hand, let him come out and confront me? Although Fan Yu was kind and pleasant, the meaning of his words was not weak at all, and it didn't seem like what a fifteen-year-old man could say.

"It was the guy from the grain store who said that Fan Gongzi bought a large amount of grain the day before yesterday and transported it into the house......" someone said in the crowd.

Fan Yu sneered, but he didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, so he continued: "Did he still say that I want to stock up grain and take advantage of the famine in Chenzhou to make a lot of black money?" ”

At this moment, hundreds of people were completely quiet, and everyone stared at each other, not understanding whether this Fan Xiaogongzi was crazy? Why are you still throwing dirty water on yourself?

However, the guy at the grain store did say so, and many people heard it.

"The little boy laughed, everyone didn't mean that......" The old man at the front explained with a smile.

Fan Yu was about to speak, when he saw several people squeezing in from behind the crowd, holding shovels and sticks in their hands. It's none other than the people of the Zhang family and the Chen family that Fan Yu took in.

The two families had planned to start repairing their houses today, but when they were collecting soil outside the town, they heard some words between hungry people on the way back, and Fan Yu's name was mentioned. After a little inquiry, he knew what was going on, so he hurriedly ran back to Fan Yu's house.

Hearing the conversation between Fan Yu and these hungry people, the two families couldn't help but feel anxious. If Fan Yu divided the grain, the two of them would only have to drink the northwest wind. In addition, Fan Yu also has the grace to take in the two of them, how can he not come forward to defend them?

Immediately, Mr. Zhang stepped forward to protect Fan Yu, facing hundreds of hungry people and said: "You are simply confused, there is no food in the grain shop, is there food in Fan Gongzi's house?" This is clearly a rumor and wants to frame Fan Gongzi! ”

Uncle Chen also hurriedly said at this time: "Yes, I have lived for so many years, and I have never heard that the grain in the grain shop is not as much as the grain in a Chinese family, isn't this a big joke?" Fan Gongzi saved us and is a good person, if anyone dares to have bad thoughts about Fan Gongzi, the shovel in the old man's hand will not spare him! ”

Fan Yu frowned, although these two old men were well-intentioned, they couldn't solve the matter in front of them like this. If you collide with these hungry people, it must be your own side that suffers.

He stretched out his hand to push away the two old men of Zhang Chen and arched his hand at the hundreds of hungry people.

"Folks, these two old men's tempers are a little anxious, and their words are a little rough. But some of the words are also reasonable, I am a Chinese family, how can there be more food than the grain in the grain store? Fan Yu asked rhetorically.

Without waiting for someone from the hungry to reply, he continued: "Moreover, some people say that I want to store up grain and sell it at a high price, which is even more nonsense. Do you know what the price of food is before the grain shop closes? Can anyone tell me. ”

When the hungry people were neutral, one of them replied: "Before the grain shop closes this morning, a pound of wheat will cost 200 wen, and my heart is dark!" ”

Immediately, many people nodded in agreement, and it seemed that it was really the price this person said.

Fan Yu didn't expect that the price of grain would rise to such a point. Secretly scolded in his heart, this Qin Yuanwai is indeed black-hearted, and he dares to raise the price of grain like this.

"It's unheard of for food prices to be so high." Fan Yu shook his head and said with a sympathetic expression: "Since this is the case, I understand." Someone must know that I still have some food at home, and I am afraid that it will disturb the rise in food prices. He deliberately spread rumors and poured dirty water on me. In that case, I can't go along with his wishes, and everyone says no. ”

At the moment, these hungry people showed a look of anticipation, and their eyes were full of hope when they looked at Fan Yu.

"Yes, yes, exactly! You won't fall for this evil, and please show mercy to the little boy! The crowd responded.

At this moment, the courtyard door behind Fan Yu creaked open, but it was his stepmother, Granny Li, who came out of it.

Granny Li held a blind cane and asked at the door, "But Yu'er is back?" I listen to the commotion outside the door, but I can recognize your voice. Everyone has no food to eat, do you want us to help? Yu'er, the one who spread the rumors must be the shopkeeper of the grain store. Today, he also came to our house, and wanted to take away our family's grain at the usual price of half a stone, but his mother didn't agree, you have to be careful of him. ”

Fan Yu heard his stepmother's words, and sneered in his heart, sure enough, it was the Qin family who was bubbling up behind it. However, in front of these many hungry people, Granny Li, the stepmother, told the price of the grain purchased by the shopkeeper, but it provided a good excuse for herself.

"Mother, the shopkeeper of Nahe has a black heart and wants to take away our family's stored grain to sell it at a high price. It's right that my mother didn't sell it to him, and she can't let them make this black money. After Fan Yu finished speaking, he paused again before continuing: "However, many villagers in front of me are still short of food, and we can't let everyone down." ”

"Master, no, we don't have much food!" Uncle Zhang was a little anxious and hurriedly dissuaded.

Chen Laohan also had the same expression, and said in fear: "That's true, master, we still have so many people, how can we live without food!" ”

Fan Yu smiled and smiled at the two of them: "Don't panic, I can only sell half of my grain at a flat price, and keep the rest to survive this famine." In front of all the folks, you have also seen the appearance of my family, it is not a rich family, but a Chinese family. The grain is not for nothing, the price of the sale, has always been a stone, which is several times worse than that grain shop, I only need to recover the capital, do you have any objections? ”

When many hungry people heard that Fan Yu was actually selling grain, everyone's enthusiasm immediately dropped a lot.

Immediately, someone shouted: "Fan Gongzi is doing well, I am a person who has fled the famine, where can anyone have consistent money, no one can afford it." ”

Fan Yu waved his hand, "There are many of you, just get together." One stone of grain is dozens of catties, and one cent when you go back is much cheaper than two hundred wen per catty of grain. ”
