Chapter 45, Worry

"What? How can this be? Zhang screamed.

"Why not? Do you dislike us? ”

Wang Dazhuang raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhang's words.

"Of course not, how can I dislike my father?"

Zhang hurriedly denied it, although she was unwilling to take care of Wang Dazhuang and his wife, she did not dare to offend the other party.

Zhang knows that there will be more places where he will need the help of his in-laws in the future, and his in-laws will have to come forward to take advantage of the big house.

"It's just that I don't have much dry firewood in my hands, and I'm afraid that so many of us won't be able to last for too many days."

"How is it not enough? The two bundles of dry firewood I brought you were picked and taken? ”

Sun thought that this was Zhang's excuse, and his face was not good.

"I sent a bundle to my mother's family."

Zhang said cautiously, Sun choked, she is related to Zhang's mother's family, and it is inconvenient to say anything at this time.

Wang Dazhuang had a black face, dissatisfied that the Zhang family was still using the things of his mother-in-law's family to supplement his mother's family at this time, but he also knew that he would not come back if the things were sent out.

Forced to ask for it, except for what relatives didn't do, there was no benefit.

"Forget it, do more in the morning in the future, just heat it up at noon, if it's really not enough, I don't believe that the big house will no longer send you some dry firewood."

It turned out that Wan Qingtian really dared, and although Zhang tried to reduce the amount of dry firewood, there was still nothing left on the sixth day.

So she went to the big house to ask for dry firewood in the name of cooking for her in-laws, but unfortunately she was stopped by Wan Qingkong.

"Second aunt, those two bundles of dry firewood are enough for you to survive ten days, and this is gone before seven days, do you think it's possible?

Don't say how many meals a day to make? I am clear of the frequency of fire in the second room, and according to that amount, it can support at least half a month. ”

Wan Qingkong leaned on the door frame and looked at Zhang, the meaning was obvious, not to give.

Zhang's heart was dissatisfied, but in the end, he suffered a lot of losses, and he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

"Isn't this my aunt wanting to make more delicious food for your grandfather and grandmother, so she uses more?"

"Oh? Really? How did I hear that it was because the second aunt took her mother-in-law's things to supplement her mother's house, so there was no dry firewood, so that cooking for her in-laws was very simple, not to mention that it was all cold, could it be a rumor? ”

"There are no things, it's all misunderstandings, my mother's family is exchanging things."

"In this way, since it is a rumor, the second aunt, you have to clarify it quickly, otherwise don't talk about you and Sister Qianqian, even the reputation of the Zhang family will be bad.

At this time, it should be taboo for the people in the village to supplement the mother-in-law's things to supplement the mother's family. ”

Zhang was choked by Wan Qingkong and couldn't speak, where did she dare to clarify? She came back empty-handed that day, but she saw a lot of it.

The Zhang family didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, but the family was still waiting for the fire, that is, they didn't eat, and their son and daughter would also eat, so they could only be cheeky and continue to beg.

"Second aunt, don't make fun of my nephew and daughter-in-law, I'm still busy, so I won't entertain the second aunt.

By the way, the second aunt should not go to my in-laws to gossip, they accidentally lost a few keys a few days ago, and they were just troubled. ”

Zhang's this is knowing that Wan Qingkong said that she took back the key to the firewood room, looked at Wan Qingkong's back, and stomped her feet angrily.

Zhang went back full of grievances and told Wang Dazhuang and his wife about it, and the two of them only scolded Wan Qingkong, but there was no way at all.

In the end, there was no way, Zhang asked Wang Qingshu to burn a wooden chair in the room, barely steamed some flatbread, and dealt with it like this one day.

Waiting until the next morning, Wang Dazhuang and his wife returned to the big room early, and sat at the dining table and just ate with their heads bored, never mentioning the things of the past few days, and no longer mentioning the firewood for the second room.

As for how they solve the problem of cooking? Wang Dazhuang and his wife said that they are old and can't so much heart.

Fortunately, today's weather has completely cleared, and the shortage of dry firewood can be alleviated in two or three days.

Zhang asked Wang Qingshu to pick up some branches, and when she destroyed another chair to use as dry firewood, she put the branches not far away to speed up drying.

Coupled with the bright sun, this is finally through this difficulty.

Zhang, who was in the spirit again, began to talk about the harshness of the big house everywhere, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her, and Zhang's intuition was bored and stopped talking.

Although the matter of dry firewood has been solved, it is already a fact that the producers in the field have reduced their production and reduced their yields a lot.

Although the disaster has not yet broken out, the price of food and other food in the prefecture is much higher.

Many people followed the trend and bought some, but because of the price, they didn't buy much, but the price of grain increased by 20% in less than five days, and everyone was a little panicked.

"Hey, we're all like this here, I heard that the disaster in the south is even more serious, I'm afraid the royal family will only symbolize disaster relief, and the princes will only fight with the royal family, and when the disaster relief materials arrive, the people don't know how many people have died."

Qi He sighed, although Wan Qingkong and Wang Qingyan had bought a lot of things before, and he didn't lack things here, but he could only guarantee themselves.

The two of them have limited money in their hands, and they have no way to take care of others.

"I can understand that the royal family does not provide disaster relief, after all, they do not have enough control over the local area, and it is only under the jurisdiction of the princes, why don't the princes provide disaster relief?

It can be said that they are all their people, a population that can be used, is it possible that they are not afraid that there is no one to use on their own borders and lose the hearts of the people? ”

Wan Qingkong felt very strange, after all, now is an era where everything needs people to do, what are the princes compared to?

Naturally, there are more people than whom, and whose people are rich? People are dead, who will fight for territory?

"Hey, although the princes are powerful now, as long as everyone does not raise the anti-flag, it is still under the control of the royal family.

If there is a disaster, it is natural that the royal family should deal with it, and the princes will even take this opportunity to cry poverty to the royal family and reap more benefits.

And the royal family will shirk and don't want to care about these people who are not of the same heart as them.

As for the princes? The most affected by the disaster relief is the orthodox royal family in the world.

If you can use this to hit the royal family, the princes won't care about the death. ”

Qi He's eyes darkened when he said this, Wan Qingkong pursed his lips, just like this, he still wants to be the master of the world?

Hmph, if you don't even have a benevolent government and love for the people, you can't sit still even if you win the world.

"Master, don't worry, there are always big people to worry about those things, and I believe that not all princes don't care about the life and death of the people.

Although they want to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, they will also give the people under their jurisdiction some way to live. ”

Wang Qingyan comforted Qi He, not wanting Qi He to worry, Qi He nodded, but his expression was not good.

This disaster has affected the Kowloon Empire to varying degrees, and the princes have indeed taken the opportunity to make trouble as Qi He thought, and the royal family naturally has all kinds of prevarications, and chaos has gradually risen in various places.
