Chapter 142: Heart

The two went to the grain store together, but found that at some point, the price of grain had almost doubled.

The original grain rice of more than ten wen now costs more than 20 wen a catty.

"There is a war at the border gates, and food is tight, and how many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to stock up grain and raise the price of grain, maybe after a while, this price will not be able to buy it."

The shopkeeper was quite good at talking, and seeing that Qin Chu was curious, he explained a few words.

Thinking about coming to the store, it should be considered well-informed, Qin Chu just took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in Wansong Town.

"I don't know if the boss knows, what is the situation in Wansong Town now?"

"I heard that the city was besieged by the Yi people, and I hope that the army of the imperial court can arrive as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to live here."

The boss sighed, it seemed that he didn't know much about the situation in Wansong Town.

"You don't understand this, I heard that this is the current emperor and King Qin's fighting method, as long as King Qin is willing to return to the army to support, everything will be solved." A customer chimed in.

"King Qin refuses to return to the army, will the emperor really sit idly by?" Ah Cheng frowned and pursed his lips and asked.

"The child is still too young". The customer explained, "For our Holy Lord, the biggest hidden danger is not Yiren."

The customer's words were vague, but how the emperor's position came about now, all the people present knew it. The King of Qin held a heavy army. As the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep peacefully.

Qin Chu could only try his best to comfort himself, no news was the best news.

took the rice out of the store, the two walked all the way back, when they got home, Yang's mother was still concentrating on embroidery, knowing that the two of them had earned more than 20 yuan, and they also bought rice, and they were in a very good mood.

Ah Cheng went out to ask for the straw from Chen's sister-in-law, found strips of cloth, and silently tied them into a curtain, so that they could be hung on the door to block some cold wind.

Qin Chu found something to put the rice in it, hesitated for a while, and still told Yang Mu about the news he heard and his own analysis.

"We are only a hundred miles away from the town, and if there is any bad news, it will definitely come early in the morning."

"Yes, you're right". Mother Yang nodded and agreed: "Zhengming, this child is a blessed one, the fortune tellers at the beginning said that he could live to ninety-nine, and he will definitely be able to survive this time."

While the two were talking, Sister-in-law Chen pushed the door in and asked the three of them to go to the room for dinner.

"It's been a long time since I've smelled such fragrant meat, I'm not afraid of your jokes, how much saliva did I swallow after cooking for so long"

Sister-in-law Chen said with a smile as she walked: "It's all borrowed from Ah Cheng's little brother's light."

"It's also his luck." Qin Chu said with a smile. Just arrived at the door of the upper room, and when a few people entered, the man of the Chen family was already sitting at the table and began to eat, with a wine bowl in his hand.

Sister-in-law Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and she glanced at Qin Chu and the others, she didn't want to argue with him in front of outsiders, and tried to suppress the anger in her heart.

"The little lady is here, hurry, sit here." The man of the Chen family saw a few people coming in, put down his chopsticks and got up, and stretched out his hand to pull Qin Chu over to sit beside him.

Without waiting for his hand to touch Qin Chu's arm, he was already stopped by Ah Cheng faster, only to see Ah Cheng make a claw, unceremoniously clasp his vein, and pinch it hard, the man was in pain, but he dared to be angry at Ah Cheng, who was taller and stronger than him.

There is such a frivolous and unreasonable person, Mother Yang is also not angry, if it weren't for Ah Cheng's move faster than her, she would have stepped forward and slapped this scoundrel.

At this moment, looking at his face that was about to deform in pain, I felt an indescribable relief in my heart.

"Forget it". Qin Chu patted Ah Cheng's arm soothingly, and looked at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, Sister-in-law Chen still helped them a lot.

Ah Cheng let go of his hand, and the man rubbed his painful wrist, returned to his position stupidly, and continued to drink and eat meat.

"Come on, try my craft." Sister-in-law Chen tried to ease the atmosphere, and after inviting the three of them to sit down, she enthusiastically added food to a few people.

"My sister is pregnant, so I still have to eat more meat to make up for it." Sister-in-law Chen said, and put a piece of meat in Qin Chu's bowl.

"Auntie's feet are not good, come, eat chicken feet."

"Ah Cheng's little brother ......"

At the dinner table, only the sound of Sister-in-law Chen picking up dishes for a few people could be heard for a while.

"Don't patronize us, sister-in-law, eat it while it's hot." Qin Chu picked up the bowl and whispered to Sister-in-law Chen.

"That is, if you don't stop eating, you can say it." After pouring a bowl of wine, the man turned around and took the jar and poured another bowl for himself.

At the dinner table, Sister-in-law Chen was inconvenienced, glanced at everyone apologetically, sat down and began to eat.

Originally, Qin Chu wasn't very interested in chicken or anything. Now it may be because she is pregnant, as soon as she smells the smell of meat, she feels that all her internal organs are clamoring, and she wants to eat all the pot of meat in front of her.

In the end, I still cared about some images, and I didn't do it like gobbling it up, but there were still a lot of bones piled up next to the bowl.

Mother Yang was afraid that she would not have enough to eat, so she didn't eat two pieces, but kept putting her in a bowl.

"Mother, I'm full." Finally, when Mother Yang came over with meat again, Qin Chu whispered with a slightly red face.

"The little lady is full just a little bit after eating." The man of the Chen family was honest for only a few minutes, and he began to reveal his true form again, stretched out his arm and grabbed a chopstick chicken and was about to put it in Qin Chu's bowl: "We are all a family, but don't see outside."

Qin Chu quickly moved his rice bowl to the side, and the meat fell on the table.

"Look at you, be polite to your brother." The man may have drunk a little too much, grinning, and carelessly picked up the meat that fell on the table and threw it into his mouth, and ate it with a click.

This time it really Sister-in-law Chen.

I saw her slap the table and get up, and shouted by name and surname: "Chen Dasheng, you don't know who you are after pouring two mouthfuls of yellow soup, do you?" ”

"You, you stinky woman, I think you haven't been on the house for three days, don't you owe it to clean up?" In front of such a beautiful girl, he couldn't get off the stage, Chen Dasheng is not a vegetarian, so he naturally wants to show his 'heroism' as a man.

I saw him staggering to his feet and walking towards Sister-in-law Chen, raising his hand to greet her.

Sister-in-law Chen has obviously gained valuable experience in his years of dealing with him - preemptively.

It stands to reason that Chen Dasheng, as the first to strike, has a chance to seize the vanguard, but there is a Ah Cheng between the two, which is very convenient for him to do something secretly.

With a "snap-" sound, Chen Dasheng's face was firmly beaten, and after a moment's stunned, his eyes stared as if he was going to swallow his life alive.

Although Sister-in-law Chen was timid in her heart, she still greeted her with a tough face. Soon the two scuffled together.

"Stop fighting, what is this ......" Qin Chu had the heart to persuade two sentences, but was rejected by Ah Cheng and Yang Mu, and pulled out of the door of the upper room. Leave the 'battlefield' to the husband and wife.

"Phew! This surnamed Chen is shameless, I think he should let Mrs. Chen teach him a good lesson. As soon as she walked out of the door, Mother Yang couldn't help but spit the ground.

"Sister-in-law Chen is probably not his opponent, what if she is injured?" Listening to the sound of thunderbolts inside, Qin Chu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, girl, even if the person surnamed Chen wants to fight back, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do." Ah Cheng looked at the closed door and squinted.

"What did you do?" Qin Chu asked curiously.

"It's just to make him temporarily paralyzed his hands and feet." Ah Cheng understated.

Knowing that Ah Cheng had done something from it, Sister-in-law Chen would not suffer, and Qin Chu was relieved.

However, eating a good meal like this does make people a little disturbing.

"Make money as soon as possible, let's move out as soon as possible." The way the men of the Chen family looked at her always made her feel very uncomfortable, and the place here was too small, and it was not common for three people to huddle together after all.

The three of them returned to the house, and Ah Cheng sat by the stove and began to concentrate on repairing the branches, making a few arrows, and preparing to try his luck in the mountain tomorrow.

Qin Chu was with Mother Yang, Mother Yang did embroidery, and she worked together.

Before I knew it, the noise in the room was quiet, until it finally fell silent.

When I was about to make dinner, my sister-in-law Chen came and knocked on the door, probably because she felt that the noon incident had a bad impact on several people, so she took the initiative to come over and ask if there was rice for dinner.

Qin Chu deliberately paid attention to her expression, seeing that there were no scars on her face, her expression was natural, and he estimated that the matter should have passed, and thanked her with a smile and refused: "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, let's buy a little rice ...... today."

Hearing that they bought rice, Sister-in-law Chen stood at the door and hesitated to speak: "My man is that temper, I will definitely take care of him more in the future, you, you ......"

Men can't make money, and for the sake of their children, she can only count on collecting Qin Chu's rent.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we won't go to our hearts."

After Qin Chu's words, the stone in Sister-in-law Chen's heart fell to the ground. Hey, he turned and left.

On the second day, Ah Cheng entered the mountains early in the morning. Mother Yang was doing embroidery at home, and Qin Chu continued to wander the streets.

This time, she didn't just focus on showing people marriage, and under the pretense of fortune-telling skills, she even succeeded in getting a customer and earned ten cents.

No matter how much, there is finally an entry.

In addition to collecting firewood, Ah Cheng actually brought back a hare this time.

This time is not like last time, Yang's mother's attitude is very resolute: "A pregnant woman can't eat rabbit meat, otherwise the child born will be easy to have a three-petal mouth!" ”

Although he knew that there was no scientific basis for what she said, Qin Chu still agreed with her opinion and took out the hare and sold it.

"Yo, Brother Ah Cheng, what good things are you fighting again?" Not long after Ah Cheng came back, Sister-in-law Chen followed.

When she saw the hare on the ground beside her, her eyes lit up.

Today happened to be the right time for her man to bring the child back.

"I'm the best at making this rabbit meat, and I will keep it for you to eat." Sister-in-law Chen said and went to get the rabbit on the ground: "I'll call you when I'm ready."

"I'm going to trade this for money." Ah Cheng stopped the person by mistake and said with a frown.
