Chapter 433: Suspension of Relief Food (1st Update)
What was left behind in Yunzhong County was Ge Erniu and her eldest son Song Fulu who came with the car.
What the hell is this.
also left to guard the store, and Guo Pozi in Nursery Song Town guarded fine grains, so naturally he stayed in Nursery Rhyme Town for a few days to eat fine rice and fine noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
When it comes to Ge Erniu, not to mention oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, these coarse grains can't be rougher.
Mrs. Ma ordered the money collected by Ge Erniu and left thirteen taels of silver.
A total of seventeen taels of silver were ordered out in Yunzhong County a year ago, and the four taels given by Lao Sui were removed, which was thirteen taels of silver.
In fact, Lao Sui gave a lot, but we can't say it, I don't complain about others, it's kind.
There is really the kind of unsophisticated buyer, taking advantage of the lack of account books, and asking for more change.
Mrs. Ma inside and outside is equivalent to not making a penny, and inexplicably added together, and lost a lot of money here in Yunzhong County.
I don't dare to think about how much money I have to lose in other places.
At this time, Mrs. Ma can only persuade herself: You can't think so much, you have to grit your teeth if you are unwilling, who will let us not enter the city.
This time, Ge Erniu dragged Mrs. Ma to babble and instruct before everyone set off, and took advantage of Song Fuling to go to the toilet.
Song Poria wears too much, and it can be difficult to go to the toilet, and there is still a layer after taking off, which is an extremely waste of time.
Ge Erniu said: "Brother and sister, Fulu and his father, if you enter the nest, you won't come out." When eating, you look at him, and if he is not there, help him shout, don't miss the meal and make him hungry. ”
Mrs. Ma was speechless: how old is he, and he is not a child.
"Brother and sister, Cuilan hasn't done any work, and you know her. I'm used to being a little girl at home. If her sister-in-law is busy and doesn't have time to help her carry water and boil the kang, you can ask a few of my nephews to help. ”
Mrs. Ma: Tsk, how old are you, and when it's time to get married, you have to ask someone to help you pick a piece of water. There is no habitual problem.
"You'll talk about this uselessness later, I want to ask you.
Everyone pooled money to buy food this time, why did your family only pay 20 taels?
Don't say that the population is small, the only people who can work in the rich and noble families are those two who take a few children, and pay eighteen taels to the old man.
Your family can earn a lot of work, and there is no one idle in the family, which is called two silver money.
Counting you and your eldest daughter-in-law, I know how much you two earn. ”
Ge Erniu looked anxious: "Hey, brother and sister, why are you okay to calculate my family's money so clearly?" I didn't hide anything this time. ”
"I know, that's why I asked you, are you being deceived?"
"Nope."
"No? Then how can it be at least four taels of silver? ”
"It's not four taels, how can there be four taels, why can't you spend some money these days, it's three taels. One day a year ago, didn't I have a nightmare, so I asked the caravan in the county to help me inquire, and you asked me for three taels of silver. ”
"Ge Erniu, wow, you let me tell you what you ordered, three or two.
On weekdays, you don't even want to buy cotton.
The point is, what did you ask these three or two? Yes?
I opened a store in Fengtian City, since the store talked about the book, the generals I knew went to the sea, I said I didn't say it, I inquired, and my three sons went out to branch a stall and inquired.
At that time, my stupid daughter-in-law Zhu also had to spend money to inquire about her mother's family, and I deliberately scolded her in front of you, those things that the little heads don't know can be known by ordinary people and ordinary caravans?
And didn't I tell you, it's sealed, and there's no news. ”
Mrs. Ma was puzzled after saying this: "Come, then tell me, what did you find out about the three taels of silver?" ”
"It's lockdown."
"Then you're going to give people money?"
"That person won't give it back to me, I cried and made a fuss, and I didn't dare to make a fuss. They said they had brought me a letter, but they didn't inquire. ”
"Who knows? Does Fu Lu know? ”
Ge Erniu rubbed the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, she was also aggrieved about this, she couldn't eat on fire for a few days, and her old man was also distressed and couldn't sleep: "I know, just hide it from Fulu and his daughter-in-law, that is a foreign surname, can she care about the life and death of the little uncle?" The designated will think about three taels of silver to inquire whether the letter is worth it. ”
It's better to let your eldest daughter-in-law make a fuss and stop it.
Three or two, you don't have a brain.
However, after Song Fuling heard about it on the road, she persuaded her to say: "People, that's it, a person who knows how to live a lot, as long as she has a heart disease and is touched by someone's weakness, she is willing to spend money." ”
Just like in modern times, the old man was deceived, including engaging in feudal superstition, and threw a lot of money into it.
The old people will live their lives carefully, but how many old people are reluctant to give the gold rings they wear on their hands to their children and fraudsters in order to understand their heart disease.
Mrs. Ma snorted:
"She Ge Erniu just didn't believe me, and she was cautious. She specified that it was to find someone, and no one in our family threw it over there, so she would not help her find someone. I'm really looking for every opportunity to inquire, if nothing else, I'm looking for your aunt's boys. ”
"Auntie?"
"Well, you have an aunt."
Regarding the topic of auntie, Song Fuling asked again, but Mrs. Ma didn't say more.
didn't explain to her granddaughter that her aunt was the sister she borrowed and didn't pay back.
Burning paper a year ago, Mrs. Ma specially burned paper for this sister.
At that time, while burning paper, I also said a lot to this sister in my heart, saying:
"You see I'm living my life these days, and I don't have to ask for money from my children with my palms up.
I can earn it myself.
Self-earning and managing children are two different things, and the waist is hard.
So, sister, don't worry, I know what you're worried about.
When I ran away, I really couldn't take care of your babies, I couldn't take care of myself, I only felt that there was no tomorrow in life.
But now, my days are getting better and better, and I have taken root, and I will go to find you a few cubs whenever I have the opportunity.
No matter what happens to them, I won't let them go hungry.
To put it mildly, even if you have only one grandson left, sister, I will pull him up. You bless me. ”
The words muttered in her heart when burning the paper, Mrs. Ma can recite them word for word.
But...... Alas.
In the words of the old man at home, it is: just after bragging, it is better and better every year, the smile is always open, the day is making money, and next year I will prepare twenty dishes for my ancestors.
As a result, Mrs. Ma: The calf is over.
……
The trip to Yunzhong County was said to be smooth, but it was really smooth.
When you meet that recorder, it is equivalent to a nobleman, and you are not embarrassed to go out of the city and enter the city.
Pulling 100 bags of coarse grains is only a symbolic spot check, and after looking at it, it will be released.
This would not have been possible without the recorder.
Unless they break up their gang and pull out three or five bags of grain from one household, and so on and so forth.
But you want to say that this trip went well, right? It's really not going well, too.
Here in Qinglou, Yunzhong County, I didn't buy a pound of grain.
Bought a bunch of such bad grain at an extremely high price.
So when he entered the village, Song Fusheng didn't let everyone hide it.
The villagers of Renjia Village saw it and came around: "Buying grain?" Got into town? ”
Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the people in the village have been watching them, waiting for them to bring some news at the entrance of the village, because they often go out.
Especially in the small landlord's family, the ninth sister-in-law waited for the news of their entry into Fengtian City every day, and her eldest granddaughter was there, hoping that they could give a word.
"Well, I didn't go in for anything else, I entered Yunzhong County, I bought grain, and I bought these for eighty taels."
"Much, how much? Eighty taels! "The villagers were shocked.
What was even more shocking was that when the bag was opened, the villagers lost their voices: This grain is too bad, such a bad coarse grain, how much does it cost you eighty taels of silver and a stone core?
Mrs. Ma and the ninth sister-in-law sighed:
"You have to buy as much as you want, or we will eat something, unlike you who have food at home.
At the moment, this is the price at which food is bought in the city.
And the shops are not open, and there are few people on the streets.
At this price, I still bought it after someone I knew about it, and I don't know if anyone sells it. ”
The onlookers of the villagers, each with their hands in their sleeves, had mixed feelings: Oh my God.
I was very worried about my own situation, but when I saw the group of people on the other side of the river, I felt comforted. Compared to the gang of people who eat a meal and buy a meal, and eat money for a meal, their family doesn't seem to be so bad.
The ninth sister-in-law and a few old ladies dragged Mrs. Ma aside and whispered, "Have you heard of it?" ”
"What."
"For people like you who have fled the famine, the relief food has stopped. There were people in other villages who went to pick it up, but they didn't get it back, so they sat at home and cried, saying that they couldn't live anymore. We listened to the old sister-in-law's little five back to the village. ”
Mrs. Ma instinctively looked in the direction of Ren Gongxin's house.
The relief food of their group was given by Ren Gongxin at one time, and it involved the matter of taking it in less than a month.
The original request to them was: this matter cannot be talked about outside, and the matter of greedy food and one-time compensation for them cannot be mentioned.
When I heard it at this time, Mrs. Ma was very lucky: Emma, Ren Gongxin, thank you so much for doing it in the first place, if you don't do it, it will be even more difficult for us.
The ninth sister-in-law was very worried, and she didn't forget to tell Mrs. Ma: "Your third son has the ability, so let someone inquire about the relief grain." There are so many of you, how much food you have added up is not a trivial matter. ”
When I got home, Mrs. Ma informed everyone.
Originally, Grandpa Song was quite popular.
Eighty taels of silver, what kind of broken play should I buy.
Today and yesterday, two days of buying grain together, two hundred and thirty-two taels of silver is gone, get up early in the morning and pout in the dark to earn, and it took so much in the blink of an eye, it is only enough to deal with the payment until August.
But after listening to Mrs. Ma's speech, Grandpa Song suddenly said: "Give birth to a baby, Grandpa's life, you can't afford it." ”
Gao Tietou, who was pouring the grain bag, also put down the bag, "Third uncle, I don't seem to have said thank you to you, thank you, third uncle." After speaking, he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly continued to carry the food bag and left.
Why thank Song Fusheng.
The quick response has already figured out the reason:
The refugees who fled the famine and put them in, King Yan didn't have anything to do with this, in order to take care of them as a grace, they would send relief food every month, and the refugees would not starve to death.
But now, King Yan is gone, and when there is no food in the future, the first batch of people who starve to death are those who fled the famine.
And their gang can't starve to death because the third uncle keeps taking them to earn money.
In the absence of a stockpile, they can spend money to buy what is good.
But if there was no Song Fusheng to lead everyone to make money.
Their fate may be to flee here and starve to death, or to sell their sons and daughters.
