Chapter Ninety-Three
But now the village chief's focus is not here, although he is not happy with Ming's father's attitude, but he quickly let go, "Really give the villagers according to the price of grain purchased in the town?" ”
Nowadays, everyone is buying food, and there are very few people who want to sell their food at home, and only those who have fallen into the eyes of money will do so.
Therefore, if the villagers want to buy grain, they can only go to the grain and oil shops in the town, but where are those merchants stupid?
Even though the yamen explicitly forbade price increases, they still stepped on the bottom line to rise, and after finding that the grain in the warehouse could not make ends meet, they began to restrict purchases.
For example, these people in Tubao Village who have no connections want to sell food? Yes, then you have to wait, and the food you can buy every day is only enough for a family to eat for two days.
Although it is not necessary to save food when it accumulates, everyone is still worried about the work in the field, which is the bulk of the food produced, so who can have the leisure to run to the town every day?
If what Father Ming said was true, then the villagers would have benefited greatly.
Not to mention the money saved, their family is unlimited.
Because they are about to leave, the sooner they get rid of these grains for the Ming family, the better.
Contrary to Mingxiu's expectations, a hundred catties of grain seemed to her, with the purchasing power of the villagers in the village, it would take a day or two to be clean.
But she underestimated the farmers' yearning for food at this time.
In just half a day, the family's food was sold out.
Not to mention it, there were even people who came to grind them to buy the remaining grain of the Ming family.
Anyway, their family has money, and it is not impossible to buy it on the road, and besides, the possibility that they can cook by themselves on the road is not high, and there is a high probability that they still eat in the store, and it is completely useless to bring so much food.
Ming's father was almost moved, but at this time, Mingxiu came forward to scold those people back.
"It seems that the food on the road is not expensive, and if you really want to help us lighten our burden, you will give us the money we bought on the road! Even if we can't eat so much food on the road, can't we eat it when we get to the place? ”
With a place to stay, they always have to eat their own.
These people just want to get more cheap, shamelessly making people laugh.
No matter how smart Mingxiu is, she is just an unmarried girl after all, and she unceremoniously scolded the account books in the village, and soon someone wanted to scold her.
At this time, Father Ming came back to his senses and found that he had almost fallen into the pit, and his face was faintly ugly.
"The grain is our family's, and selling it to the villagers at a low price is our family's gratitude for your 'care' for so many years, if you want to buy and sell, you have to see if you have the ability!"
In short, it is a sentence that it is a duty to sell grain to them at a low price, and it is a duty not to sell it.
In recent years, the grain in every household has been tightly hidden, and there are not many people like their family, and of course there are even fewer people who sell at low prices.
Ming's father thinks about the villagers in a village, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to wronged his family for the sake of these so-called villagers.
"Dad, those people are like that, don't be sad."
“…… From whom did you learn these comforting words? Father Ming was dumbfounded, and was comforted by Mingxiu, not to mention that he was comfortable, it would be good if he wasn't more uncomfortable.
But really, there is no fucking tenderness at all.
But even so, the sadness on Ming's father's face dissipated a lot, too, he already knew the temperament of those jackals, tigers and leopards in the village, so why should he punish himself for the mistakes of others.
"There's nothing here, let's go back to town early while it's still early."
Seeing that their father and daughter were almost playing, Xie Zhan reminded him.
Father Ming was stunned, "We are not ......"
"What you're saying is, let's go, it's still early, I can't make it back for lunch."
Sensing that something was wrong in Xie Zhan's tone, Mingxiu quickly agreed.
In fact, before they came with food, they made plans to live here for two or three days in a row, and the bedding and food were neatly brought.
Now that he was suddenly leaving, it meant that Xie Zhan had discovered something.
Mingxiu echoed because she was cautious, and even more because she knew that Xie Zhan was not a person who could talk nonsense, so he easily decided where to go without opening his mouth, but once he opened his mouth, he had his own considerations in it.
"I don't want to be angry with myself here, her father, let's go."
Ming's mother didn't think too much, she just thought that Mingxiu and Xie Zhan were angry with those villagers, in fact, for those villagers who didn't know what to do, she was also angry in her heart, and she felt that her family had to live in Tubao Village, so she had to swallow her anger.
But now that he has decided to leave, why should he be wronged?
"Why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Mingxiu whispered into Xie Zhan's ear and asked.
Although she chose to believe, she still wanted to know.
Xie Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think those villagers will give up so easily. ”
Aunt Niu also came to buy food just now, I don't know if it was because she slandered Mingxiu before, so she was weak or something, she kept her head down, and basically didn't show her face, so that Mingxiu and her parents didn't find out about this.
But this couldn't escape Xie Zhan's eyes, he just looked at Aunt Niu for a moment, and there seemed to be an exhortation in her eyes.
Originally, Xie Zhan didn't understand why, but when some villagers offered to buy their leftover food, he suddenly blessed his soul.
The puff is not guilty of his crimes.
The Ming family has always played a role that everyone can bully in Tubao Village, and when their family has silver, everyone may only say a few sour words, or ruin their wealth, just like destroying the fields.
No one dared to come to the door to rob the silver, and that was because the people in the village were not outlaws.
But now when there is a shortage of food, the Ming family has exposed a large amount of grain, even though most of the villagers in Tubao Village are honest, but they can't stand those few who are not stingy.
After all, their family has a small population, and there are not a few young adults, if they encounter trouble, only Xie Zhan and Ye Ziming are the only two, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect them.
Mingxiu lowered her eyes, thought about it for a while, and probably understood what Xie Zhan meant.
“…… Thanks a lot. ”
If Fang Cai hadn't been reminded by him, none of them would have thought that there was such a possibility, if they stayed in the village and nothing happened, then it would be their villain's heart, but if something happened, they would regret it.
"Yikes!" Mingxiu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked his father to stop, "Big brother is still in the village." ”
