Chapter 298: The food is gone

"What?"

As soon as Yun Niang heard Wu Tian's words, she remembered that yesterday, in order to gather the five taels of silver, Wang Ergou had already said in front of the village chief's grandfather that he would collect the grain in the field and sell it.

Yun Niang also thought that after Wang Ergou was reprimanded by the village chief's grandfather, he should have known that the grain in the field could not be easily moved.

It's good now! I'm afraid I can't hide the situation in the field!

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Niang's surprised words fell, she heard a louder noise outside the door, and as soon as she heard it, she knew that there were many people talking about something!

Even Wu Tian, who was on the stool, faintly heard a sound coming from outside the door, only to see Wu Tian "ho" and stand up!

Because in the voice coming from outside, there was a voice that he was most familiar with.

"It's Daddy's voice!"

After speaking, Wu Tian didn't have time to talk to Yun Niang in a hurry, so he rushed out of the door!

"Uncle Wu, wait!"

Yun Niang looked at Wu Tian, who was not stopped by herself, and already knew the seriousness of the current situation, and said to Yun Yang Yun Xiu at the moment.

"Quick, let's go out and have a look!"

"Oh my God! What's going on? How did our food become like this? Where does our food go? Why is it all chaff?! ”

"What to do! Daddy, kid! Why is there no food in the fields? So where does our money come from now? What are we going to eat? ”

"Wang Ergou, Wang Ergou! Tell me what the hell is going on? “

Wang Ergou, who was standing aside and looking at the dried wheat in his hand, looked at the field in front of him with sweat on his head, and knew that there was not a grain of grain in the wheat he had just harvested, and Wang Ergou was directly stupid!

These are his lifeblood! Because the family really couldn't take out the five taels of silver, Wang Ergou had to do it even if he was scolded by the village chief, just to not serve in the military and to accompany his daughter-in-law and his eldest son at home!

But why is this happening now? It's supposed to be wheat with grains of rice, but why isn't there a single grain in it?

So Wang Ergou was crazy, a person in the field went crazy and harvested a large piece of wheat in the field, and found that there was still no grain in the field, which made Wang Ergou panic for a while.

Thinking that he will be drafted for military service, maybe he will not be able to come back! The big fat boy that his daughter-in-law just gave birth to him has no father!

I don't know if I'm afraid of leaving my daughter-in-law and children at home, or I'm afraid of going to the battlefield to come to a dead Wang Ergou, standing in the field and holding the wheat in the field and crying!

Let the villagers who were coming and going to find a way to borrow silver, looking at Wang Ergou's tears and snotty faces, they all stepped forward to see what was going on, could it be that something happened?

Before and after one villager after another, someone finally found the wheat in Wang Ergou's hand, and saw that there was nothing in the wheat husk in the mouth, and his face changed for a while.

They all started to check the grain in their fields!

When the villagers saw that the grain in their fields was the same as Wang Ergou's family, they all began to cry out in panic.

"How so?"

"Oh my God! Where does our food go? ”

"Hurry up and inform the village chief to take a look, why is our food gone?"

For a while, the news of the disappearance of the grain in the field spread at a speed like the wind, so that everyone in every household went to check on their fields, hoping that their food was still there.

In fact, the people who have the idea of food in the field, in addition to Wang Ergou, are also Yun Niang's neighbors Zhang Dabao's family.

When Zhang Dabao's family knew that the number of people who stayed this year had actually risen to five taels of silver, they were also anxious about the source of the five taels of silver.

After all, Zhang Dabao's family is not from the village surnamed Wang, and there is not much land in the village, so they can only maintain food and clothing every day.

Now when I hear the news, I am worried about Zhang Li and Zhang Dabao, and I have been thinking about where to find someone to borrow money for emergency!

But thinking that my family has been in this village surnamed Wang for almost 20 years, I don't know how familiar I am with the villagers in the village, let alone any close relationship! Who would lend money to his family at this juncture?

So when Zhang Dabao and the two heard what Wang Ergou said in front of the village chief, the two of them took this to heart, and they also planned for the worst in their hearts, if they really had no choice, they could only collect and sell all the grain that had not yet matured in the field.

Zhang Li, who was back at home, heard his man's plan, and he didn't say yes, nor did he say no!

Just thinking of taking all the family's rations for this year and exchanging them for silver, Zhang Li was really reluctant, so he immediately pulled Zhang Dabao into the house and muttered something for a while.

When the two of them went out of the house, their faces were a little better!

Originally, Zhang Li's plan was to borrow silver from their neighbor Yun Niang in case of emergency, and when the grain was collected, they would just give Yun Niang some food, and they were not afraid that they would not be able to borrow silver everywhere now.

The reason why Zhang Li was sure that he could borrow money from Yun Niang was because Zhang Li was still thinking about the two packets of pickles she gave Yun Niang, since Yun Niang had accepted her things, she should be able to answer if she went to ask Yun Niang, right?

Originally, those two packets of pickled vegetables were given to let the child's father go to Yun Niang's mountain to help with things, but now he has to ask Yun Niang to borrow silver, so it will not be good to open that mouth to Yun Niang in the future.

But now it's still the child's father who can stay, and the rest of the things will be considered later.

Thinking about the two packets of pickles she sent, Zhang Li's heart was full of confidence for a while, she was not afraid that Yun Niang would accept her things and not help!

The two planned to go to Yun Niang's house early the next morning to borrow silver, who knew that Zhang Dabao, who couldn't sleep after tossing and turning all night, got up and went out before dawn and went to his own field.

It's a terrible thing! You call him Zhang Dabao, how can he sleep peacefully?

Zhang Dabao's family's field is actually not far from Wang Ergou's house, and Zhang Dabao suddenly understood in his heart when he looked at Wang Ergou who was busy working in the field at dawn.

It seems that this Wang Ergou didn't take the old village chief's words to heart, so even if he took the grain in the field to exchange for silver, the village chief shouldn't have talked about him!

Zhang Dabao, who was thinking about this, stood on his own field, looking at Wang Ergou, who was working in the field, and did not say hello!

So much so that even Wang Ergou, who was separated from Zhang Dabao's family by two fields, didn't notice Zhang Dabao opposite.

Besides, Wang Ergou went to work in the field early, just to avoid the people in the village, it is better to say that he wanted to collect the grain in the field earlier, and he was so relieved!

Lest the village chief get any rumors, what if he really doesn't let him exchange the grain in the field for silver?
