The town's medicine hall is located in the southwest corner, and in addition to the normal treatment and sale of medicines, it also buys all kinds of raw medicinal materials. Most of the Gray family's livelihood depends on this, and Gray Qingyan is also familiar with the pharmacist.

"Yo, you're not slow!"

"The whole family is waiting for dinner, how dare I be lazy. Take a look, the quality of the raw kudzu this time is good. ”

The pharmacist came up and only glanced at it a few times, and then couldn't help but nod his head again and again. The quality of raw kudzu this time is indeed good, but he has seen several pieces of high-quality goods.

"Good, good, it's really good, these pieces are in extra good condition......"

As he was talking, someone came straight in and shouted unceremoniously: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper ......"

The pharmacist's conversation was abruptly interrupted, and it was inevitable that he was a little unhappy. But when he looked up, he saw that it was the cronies around Qing Dahu, and he immediately threw down the gray and spoke lightly and greeted him with a smile.

Since the youngest son of Qing Dahu was included in the door wall of the Blue Blood Society, not to mention that the future cultivation prospects are immeasurable, it is just that he used his daughter to tie up the relationship with the big man behind him, who in the town dares to underestimate him.

It is clear that the Qing family is on the road to rise.

Don't dare to say it elsewhere for the time being, at least within a radius of nearly 100 introductions from Mangshan Town, there is no second person like this.

If you want to live in Mangshan Town, you must not ignore the Qing family, although Qing Dahu does not have an official body, but everyone understands that this day will not be too far away.

Qing Dahu's relatives and entourage Huanqi, just with that pair of harsh revocation triangle eyes, how could Gray lightly admit his mistake?

Seeing Huanqi, especially when the other party deliberately turned his face to give Gray Qingyan a meaningful look, he understood that the matter of selling medicine this time was probably going to have twists and turns.

Sure enough, I saw that the pharmacist and Huanqi were chatting privately in it for a while, and during this time, they kept pointing at him with their hands, and the gray light words suddenly sank in their hearts.

After the private chat ended, I only looked at the smug look on Huanqi's face, and the result was already obvious.

"Hmm...... Recently, our store has been full of medicinal materials, and we will not buy it for the time being. So you raw kudzu, we don't want it. ”

Looking at the apology implied in the pharmacist's eyes, Ash didn't even look at Huan Qi lightly.

At this moment, he could only clench his fists fiercely, and even his nails were about to dig into the flesh, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, only endless humiliation.

He didn't continue to beg for help, he just lowered his head and slowly packed up the raw kudzu at hand and then packed it.

Yaotang will definitely not offend Qingda for this point, and there is no point in continuing to stay.

Before going out, Huan Qi deliberately raised his voice and laughed: "Backbone? haha...... If you don't know how to lift things, you deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!

"I want to see if your backbone can be exchanged for food...... Hahaha......"

Ash wanted to turn around and punch Huanqi in the face, but reason told him that he must not do that.

If you can't get ahead, you will be at the mercy of others and be despised by others!

In fact, Qing Dahu did not really advance from the common people to the aristocracy, but he quietly rose up just because his young son showed his cultivation talent in the divine refining.

Although his momentum at the moment comes more from the prestige of the Qingluan Ming clan, the reason why he was able to give his daughter to others as a concubine was fundamentally based on the cultivation talent of his youngest son Qinglei.

Otherwise, in the name of Qingluan Ming's clan, how could a mere commoner Qingda family climb up? Even if he gave his daughter to someone else as a concubine, he was originally unqualified.

No matter how much effort it takes, no matter what the cost, it's good to start embarking on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.

If the children of ordinary people want to get ahead, there is no possibility other than cultivation.

"Poor ghost, obediently listen to the persuasion of the seventh master of Huan, and honestly go to apologize to my nobles. Kneel on the ground and sincerely beg your nobles for forgiveness, and then send your sister to you, it is the right way!

"Otherwise, you will wait for your life to be driven out by my nobles! In this Mangshan Town, my nobles are the sky. Heaven wants you to die, and you have no way out!"

Ash turned a deaf ear, only turned his head and glanced at Huan Qi deeply, and then resolutely turned around and left.

"Hey, what kind of eyes are you? Still not convinced, aren't you? Today, Huan Qiye will let you see and understand, what is called an inch! If you don't make amends and admit your mistakes, Huan Qiye will make your gray family unable to live in Mangshan Town!"

The gray family sold almost all the fields in order to save the lives of the limestone, and now the remaining half of the field is not enough to grow food, so they only grow some vegetables on weekdays.

The whole family should spend money, and they all rely on gray whispers to collect medicine and chop firewood to support.

Now that the sale of the medicine hall has been cut off, it is basically equivalent to cutting off most of the lifeblood of the gray family.

Although Ash Qingyan refused to admit defeat, he understood in his heart the viciousness of Qing Dahu's hand!

......

Speaking of which, he can still sell firewood for some money, but Mangshan Town is a small place after all, and there are very few people who are willing to buy firewood to burn.

It mainly supplies taverns and blacksmith shops, but now that the medicine hall has succumbed to the prestige of Qingdahu, Ash Qingyan does not think that taverns and blacksmith shops can still support it.

Sure enough, when he went over to sell firewood, both shook their heads again and again: "Don't, don't, we don't want it recently." ”

The tavern owner even kicked him out directly: "You go quickly, I can't afford to wait here." ”

The old blacksmith was a good man, and he even had a few heartfelt words with Gray Qingyan.

"Hey, let's say it lightly, it's not that Uncle doesn't want to help you, it's really ...... Alas, I can't afford to offend anyone. Therefore, you listen to the uncle's advice, we can't afford to compete with others in a small family.

"If it is according to my wishes, you should go to the door as soon as possible to make amends. You still have to live a down-to-earth life, and nothing else matters. ”

"It's not that I want to fight, it's really that Qingda is too bullying!"

"Alas, you kid is stubborn. Not to mention that his family has already been related to the noble family, let's just say that Qing Lei's talent in the divine refining will make the Qing family leap into the dragon gate sooner or later.

"It's too much to deceive people? This is the way of the world, aren't you alive anymore? We, like us, must accept our fate when it's time to accept it. Since you can't afford to offend, it's better to obey people's wishes. ”

"I just don't recognize it! If it's just me, it's easy to say. But this involves my sister's happiness for the rest of her life, and I can't agree to it no matter what. ”

The old blacksmith still had to be persuaded again, but Ash had turned around and left.

You are willing to accept your fate, but I will fight for this life!

Although I am poor and have nothing, I still have this life and this full of blood! I don't believe it, I can't get a chance to live!

......

I failed to sell medicinal herbs and firewood, and when I returned home, I found that there was no food, so I had to go out to buy rice.

Most of the poor families have no overnight food.

During this time, Ash lightly said that he had saved some money by selling raw kudzu, but he couldn't buy all the food to support the livelihood of a family!

The little brown rice left at home, mixed with wild vegetables, is barely enough to make a thin porridge.

Gray Qingjin was originally responsible for the housekeeping, but Gray said lightly that she was worried that Qing Dahu would take risks, so she restricted her from going out.

But when Ash Qingyan rushed to the grain store, he was shocked again: "What did you say?"

"I said that we had run out of brown rice, and now only polished rice remains. 27 copper horns 1 times, each time less than 10 times not sold. ”

With the economic situation of the gray family, they have always eaten brown rice. Although it is mixed with sand, chaff and bran, it tastes terrible and is not nutritious. But after all, it is cheap, as long as 6 copper horns can buy 1 time.

In many cases, cooking at home has to be mixed with a lot of wild vegetables, just barely filling the stomach.

Polished rice is indeed delicious, and it is much better than brown rice in terms of nutrition and taste. But if it is rice, the gray family is afraid that it will not take a few days for the whole family to run out of food and go hungry - there is no money!

"But...... But I just saw that they didn't all buy brown rice? There is still brown rice over there, how can you say that there is none?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the half-full brown rice granary at the back, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, those were all booked by others earlier." ”

Isn't that obvious!

Brown rice is a grain that only supplies ordinary people.

And most people buy grain once every three to five days at most, and no one has enough money, and they have never heard of ordering brown rice.

"You're clearly an excuse!" said Ash, barely able to contain the anger in his chest.

The shopkeeper didn't have the heart to explain anything at all, and beckoned the guy to kick him out: "If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't buy it, get out." Don't delay my business!"

Ash lightly pushed the guy away, and was about to rush to find the store.

But the shopkeeper was not afraid at all, he didn't even dodge, but turned his face over with a smile.

"Oh, what's the matter? You still want to kill people? Come on, come on, try me? Don't stop him, I'll just stand here waiting for you to beat me. If I dodge, it will be mine. ”

Sizzle...... Suddenly, he remembered the expression on the face of the Qing Dahu family he saw before, and Gray said that he calmed down instantly.

Now hitting the store is tantamount to taking the initiative to hand the knife to the opponent, which is completely self-defeating.

Qing Dahu only had to say hello, and he didn't want to come out again when he entered the official mansion.

I endure!

"Hey...... Hey, I said, why are you leaving? Don't fight? Hey, if you're not convinced, you'll do it! Poor ghost, you can't even afford to polish rice, what else can you pretend? Hurry up and die!"

When the Gray family had land, they cultivated their own land, but they could also be self-sufficient.

But now they only have half a field left, and they only grow some vegetables for their families on weekdays. All expenses and food must be supported by collecting medicine and chopping wood.

Even if Gray Qingyan works hard, he can barely maintain the family's food and clothing. Even if you eat the cheapest brown rice, the whole family often doesn't have enough to eat.

But now, Qing Dahu first cut off the source of income from selling medicinal herbs and firewood, and then made him unable to buy brown rice in the grain store. It seems that he has left a way to buy polished rice, but this is equivalent to drinking water to quench his thirst.

If he really did what Qing Dahu wanted, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.
