Chapter 623 Rice Inspection
"Girl, what should we do next?"
Xia Tan'er stared at the markers on the map and started to eliminate them in her heart, she had heard from her subordinate that the bag of rice was enough to hold one person, so it was possible that Feng Muchi was hidden in all the places where the rice was dropped.
The only difference here is the weight and quantity of the rice bags.
But the problem is that the next bag of rice, the rut marks printed on the soil will become shallower, and it will only get shallower and shallower along the way.
"There's only one way to explore along the road."
"Let's go, let's go door-to-door."
"But girl, how could those people be willing to let you investigate?"
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
Xia Tan'er put away the map and hid it in her arms, leading the red sleeves towards the first one.
At this moment, in the corner, a pair of eyes were staring at Xia Tan'er's actions in the dark.
"Girl, the first one is here, it looks like an ordinary family, and I don't know if I can get anything."
"Go knock."
"Yes."
Taking advantage of the stall where the red sleeves stepped forward to knock on the door, Xia Tan'er straightened out her clothes, folded her hands in front of her, and showed a sincere face.
After a while, hurried footsteps came from the room, and as soon as the door opened, an old woman with a ravine-faced face came out, leaning against the doorpost with a cane.
"What's the matter with me, two girls looking for my mother-in-law?"
Xia Tan'er smiled slightly and took the initiative to step forward.
"Mother-in-law, a few days ago, my father came to you to deliver rice, and when I came back, I found that the rice in the rice warehouse was moldy, and my father couldn't move at all after he broke his waist these days, so I specially asked me to come and see if the rice sent to you was moldy, and if it was moldy, I would change a bag for you."
"It turns out that you are Lao Yang's daughter, such a handsome woman, yo is pregnant, Lao Yang really doesn't even tell us about his daughter's marriage."
"It's not married yet, but the baby has decided first, and the date is still choosing, and when the day is picked, I will invite you over to have a glass of wine."
"Good, good, good!"
When the old woman heard this, she smiled.
Xia Tan'er saw that it was almost the same, and she no longer wasted time.
"Mother-in-law, I'll take a look at your rice first, and I'll go to other homes later, and it will take some time today."
"Come in, come in."
Xia Tan'er and Red Sleeves followed their mother-in-law one after the other, and as soon as they entered, they had an unobstructed view, as far as the eye could see, there was a bed on one side and a few tattered quilts, and then there was a stove in the patio, and there were few firewoods scattered in the corner.
The mother-in-law invited the two of them to sit down at a low table, and after filling them with tea, she went to a cabinet and rummaged through it for a long time before pulling out a bag of rice.
The weight of fifty catties of rice was especially heavy in her mother-in-law's hands, Xia Tan'er glanced at Red Sleeves, and Red Sleeves hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother-in-law pull Miti over.
Such a poor family must also be extremely precious to this bag of rice, and I don't know how many days this is my mother-in-law's rations.
Thinking of this, Xia Tan'er became more and more careful when she looked at the rice, for fear of leaking a grain.
"Mother-in-law has checked it, there is nothing wrong with the rice, red sleeves, you help your mother-in-law carry the rice back."
"Yes, ma'am."
If you want to pretend to be to the end, Red Sleeves is also a clever child, knowing that the farmer's family is not rich and cannot afford to buy a maid, a lady will cover up the past.
Taking advantage of the stall where the two of them were holding rice, Xia Tan'er took out a silver ingot of twenty taels from the money bag on her waist and stuffed it under the pillow.
Twenty taels is enough for this mother-in-law to enjoy her old age in peace.
