Chapter 480: Floods in the South

This Liu Zhang crossed his waist, looking like a little bully, and seemed to be very sure of his thoughts, and shouted very loudly.

"You are beggars, you are still thieves!"

Xingyi pursed his lips, picked up a piece of ribs with chopsticks, deliberately shook Liu Zhang, and then took a bite: "If you can't eat, you will scold others as thieves, and you have this ability!" ”

"Wow wow! I don't allow you to eat pork ribs, I don't want you to eat roast leg of lamb, give me back these delicious foods! Liu Zhang sat on the ground and cried.

Liu Yunxiang thought this crying was annoying, and said to Jinyan: "Give him a bowl of meat." ”

As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Cheng ran over, saw his son sitting on the ground crying, and didn't ask what was going on, and shouted at Liu Yunxiang at the moment: "Grandma, you bully a child, you have to be shameless!" ”

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand at Jinyan, "Let's feed this bowl of meat to the dog." ”

Jin Yan snorted, "Okay." ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he cried even louder, "I want to eat meat!" It's all mine! They are not allowed to eat it! ”

Cheng Shi heard her son say this, and after a second glance at the dinner table, she flattened her mouth and said with a stiff neck: "The child is small, what's wrong with eating a few pieces of meat from you, besides, they are all a family, why bother so clearly." ”

However, he said: "Eating separately was proposed by the grandmother of the second room, the first two meals you eat meat, we eat boiled vegetables, why don't you say that the family can't care too clearly." ”

"When the master speaks, you dare to interject even a minion, there are really no rules at all!"

"I'm not a slave of your family!"

"You!"

"Sister Jinyan is not a slave, we are a family!" Xingyi shouted.

"Auntie, look at how many of them have no rules, you ......"

"I think they're right." Liu Yunxiang looked at Cheng's family, his eyes were cold, "It's not your turn to intervene in the affairs of my courtyard." ”

Cheng was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he didn't really tear his face with Liu Yunxiang, and he pulled his son to leave at the moment, but Liu Zhang was unreasonable, and he had to take away two plates of meat and vegetables to him to eat.

"Okay, my mother will let the kitchen make it for you tomorrow, don't be ashamed!"

"But my mother said that there is not much silver, and I can only eat a small plate of meat for each meal!"

"You, you!"

Cheng's was exposed by his son, he couldn't hold his face, and he reached out and twisted his son's arm, and Liu Zhang cried even louder.

"You cry, I don't care about you."

As she spoke, she walked out, took a few steps, and remembered something.

"That's not right, auntie, it stands to reason that when you return to your parents' house with a child, you must rely on your mother's family to help you, how can you have the money to buy these?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "What, you still want to check my family?" ”

Cheng was so blocked that she couldn't speak, leaving Liu Zhang to continue crying here, she threw up her sleeves and left.

That Liu Zhang can really cry, crying so much that people's heads are buzzing, Zijin temper came up, and he went over to pick up the child and throw it out. Jin Yan looked at him and cried pitifully, but still gave him the bowl of meat.

"In the future, when you eat meat, you will give me a bowl, a big bowl!" Liu Zhang said arrogantly while eating.

Jin took a puff of cigarette, "Who gave you the face!" ”

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang went to the Lingyun grain shop.

Zhang Qi said that after the beginning of spring, floods occurred in several southern states, displacing tens of thousands of people and flooding crops.

"This year's grain will definitely rise sharply, but we don't know if the grain produced in the large field in the north of the town can be transported over to alleviate the famine that is coming soon."

In the past, there was no need to worry, the owner was the princess of Zhenbei, and no caravan would be stuck with anyone over there. But now the situation is different, and I am afraid that they will not be able to transport it with only food.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "Let this matter go for a while, as long as we have food, we won't be afraid." By the way, you said that there was a flood in the south and the people were displaced, so can the government provide disaster relief? ”

Zhang Qi sighed: "As soon as the riots in the south subsided, there was a flood again, the people were empty, the government was actually empty, and the treasury must not be full, so there was not much silver that could be invested in disaster relief." According to the response of our shop manager and fellow in the south, the place in the eyes of the disaster is already full of hunger, and the situation is not the worst. When the weather is hot, I am afraid that there will be plague, and then in the autumn, there will be no grain in the fields, and then the people will only be more desperate, not to mention winter. ”

"How much food do we have at the moment?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Last year, there was a bumper harvest in the north of the town, and there are still almost 100,000 stones."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "You prepare, I need this 100,000 stone grain." ”

Zhang Qi didn't ask Liu Yunxiang what he was doing, he only nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down here and prepare it for the owner as soon as possible." ”

Coming out of the Lingyun grain shop, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to bring a message to Su Rumeng, she wanted to see the queen again.

Back at Shilang's Mansion, she came in through the back door, came to the gate of the West Courtyard, and came back from outside, her face was full of anxiety, and she was immediately relieved when she saw her.

"Girl, Childe is in the front yard with a few people."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What person?" ”

"It is said that it is a person from the gambling house who comes to collect gambling debts."

Liu Yunxiang guessed what was going on after a turn of thought, she hurried to the front yard, and sure enough, she saw Liu Yunxiang with a few house slaves entangled with a few sturdy men.

"What's wrong with your Shilang Mansion, you can't go back to paying your debts!"

"I said that I only owed ten days, but it's been a month!"

"Liu Shilang is in prison, if we can't get the money today, then don't even think about it in the future, and your Shilang Mansion may be sealed again!"

Liu Yunxiang walked over and shouted: "Don't fight!" ”

With this sound, Liu Yunheng saw that it was her, so he asked the people around him to stop first, and then he also took a few steps back.

"You're also from this family, right, but you're here to pay back?" The nursing home of a gambling house looked at Liu Yunxiang and asked.

Liu Yunxiang ignored him and turned to look at Liu Yunheng, "But Liu Er owes gambling debts?" ”

Liu Yunheng nodded with a calm face, "It's him." ”

"This is a matter of the second room, why did you rush to the front, and then you should show up." Liu Yunxiang frowned.

"It's all in the house, can I not show my face."

"What about the people in the second room?"

"The second uncle is lame and still lying on the bed, the eldest brother is on an errand, and the sister-in-law has gone to her mother."

"Asking for money?"

Liu Yunheng nodded, "We have to send these people away first." ”

Liu Yunxiang asked her younger brother to leave it alone, and hurried back to her courtyard, and after her younger brother left, she had an extra heart and asked the people in the gambling house how much Liu Er owed them.

"One thousand taels!"

One thousand taels is not much, but Liu Yunchang can get less than one hundred taels a year, let alone ordinary people, and the amount of food and clothing for a year is only twenty or thirty taels.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to block these people, she went to the east courtyard where Mrs. Liu lived, came to the door of the main house, and heard the Cheng family and Mrs. Liu say: "Auntie, the people in the gambling house are outside, saying that if they don't pay back, they will smash the front and back yards of our Shilang Mansion." ”

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "There is a debtor who is wronged, and if they want to harm the second child, they should also harm the second child!" ”

"People don't recognize this, they only recognize us as a family."

"But fifteen hundred taels, what's going on in the house, you don't know, how can I take out so much cash at one time."

Cheng Shi was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe my aunt and grandmother can add some, I see that the West Courtyard has a lot of fish and meat, she must be rich." ”
