Chapter 135
Shopkeeper Ma immediately showed embarrassment, but after hesitating for a while, he said again, "Well, I'll take some from my own ration, one hundred cents per catty."

"How much? One hundred cents a catty! You are blatantly stealing money!" He Daping couldn't help staring at him with wide eyes.

Shopkeeper Ma was not angry, instead he smiled and said, "Master He, I also said that I got it from the rations I ate at home, and it's normal for it to be a bit more expensive. It still depends on our usual friendship." , It’s cheaper for you, if someone else, I won’t bother at all.”

"I really thank you!" He Daping snorted and scolded a profiteer in his heart!
Then he asked, "Then how much can you sell me?"

"One hundred catties." The shopkeeper Ma raised his hand and stretched out a finger.

He Daping rolled his eyes with dissatisfaction, "It's only one hundred catties, it's not enough for our He family to eat for a few days, at least sell me three hundred catties!"

Shopkeeper Ma looked hesitant again, "To be honest, I don't have a lot of food in my house!"

"But we have a good friendship, so I can sell you another two hundred catties, but the price should be higher, 150 Wen per catty."

He Daping's eyes widened again in an instant, and he sneered, "It's fine if you don't give me a cheap price if I buy too much, but you even raise the price, it's too much!" Just say it's because of friendship, profiteer!

Shopkeeper Ma was still not angry, looked at him and said with a smile, "Mr. He, you can't say that!"

"Now you go out and ask, which grain store still has grain, even if it has grain, the price will not be cheaper than mine, and it is impossible to sell you several hundred catties at once, and I am the only one."

"I sell a little less food now, so there is a risk. Maybe I won't have to eat it myself in the end. Do you think I sell it too expensive?"

"If you don't want to buy it, I won't sell it by force."

He Daping gritted his teeth angrily, but in the end he could only give him a few taels of silver.

"Hurry up, I have to hurry home."

After getting the silver, Shopkeeper Ma nodded with a smile, "Yes, you come here, and I'll carry it with you."

When he opened the grain depot, there were indeed only three bags of rice immediately.

"Look, I really didn't lie to you, I really don't have much food." The horse shopkeeper said repeatedly.

But He Daping still didn't believe it in his heart. How could he be willing to sell it if there was only so little.

Most likely they still have a few hundred catties of grain in their hands, and they just want to wait for the price of grain to rise in a few days before selling it.

After loading the grain into the carriage, the shopkeeper looked at them again and said, "Let's be friends, don't blame me for not reminding you, hurry up when driving later, don't be caught up by refugees, or be careful if the grain is not enough." Save."

He Daguang's heart tightened suddenly, and he nodded hurriedly.
So on the way out of the town, he drove his horse and galloped all the way, for fear of encountering food grabbers, but fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.

As soon as he got home, He Daping hurriedly told Su Yun about the food being stolen from the shop.

Su Yun didn't expect those people to be so bold, but after thinking about it, what can't be done when people are starving!
So he sighed lightly and said, "It seems that our family has to be more careful in the future, who might make a decision." Yard.

"If they dare, I will kill them!" He Daping said angrily.

"I used to sympathize with them, but now I don't sympathize with them at all, hum!"

Seeing his angry look, Su Yun smiled instead, "Look at the one who made you angry, don't be angry, just treat it as a waste of money and avoid disaster."

"It's almost thirty people, don't be so impatient when things happen."

After being told by her, He Daping really calmed down a lot, "Got it, mother."

After that, they moved all the food into the warehouse, and just when they had just moved the food.

Sister-in-law Fang suddenly came over from the outside, "Old madam, there are three people outside, who say they are the second madam's natal family."

Immediately, they all looked at He Damao together.

"Are you here to borrow food?" He Daping couldn't help guessing.

He Damao raised his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment, lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, "I don't know about this, I'll go out and ask."

But just as he was about to leave, Su Yun said, "Wait, second child, no matter what your father-in-law and mother-in-law are here for, please come in."

He Damao's heart relaxed, and he quickly nodded in response, "Oh, I'll invite them in right away."

It was Wang Huilan's parents and elder brother who came.

When He Damao invited them in, they were all a little embarrassed.

When the He family's three-entry yard was built, they hadn't come to see it yet.

Firstly, it was because the distance was a bit long, and secondly, it was because they were afraid that people would misunderstand that they were here to fight the autumn wind.

When they saw Su Yun, they felt like they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Especially Wang Huilan's mother, she is obviously about the same age as Su Yun, but her appearance is very different.

One is young and seems to be in his 30s, while the other is old with gray temples, sallow and thin face, and his face is covered with wrinkles.

"Dear family, please sit down."

They looked at each other, and then sat down on the chairs somewhat awkwardly.

Then the queen mother said with a look of embarrassment, "Dear family, we came here this time to borrow some grain from you. The family really has no choice. There is no grain. Adults can still carry it, but children No way, I'm so hungry I'm crying." When she said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Father Wang also hurriedly said, "Don't worry, how much we borrow, we will definitely pay back in the future, we can issue an IOU."

"Our Wang family has no choice, otherwise we wouldn't be so cheeky to borrow food from you." They didn't want to make it difficult for their daughter, but there was nothing to do.

Su Yun nodded slightly, "Then how much food do you want to borrow?"

Father Wang opened his mouth a little nervously and said, "Is it worth a hundred catties?"

Su Yun couldn't help frowning immediately, a hundred catties, this is really old.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Dear family, to tell you the truth, our family doesn't have much food. Today I just went to town and bought a few bags at a high price. After a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy them even if I have money. "

Hearing what she said, Father Wang's heart suddenly fell and fell, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

In fact, he had expected such an answer, but he still couldn't help being disappointed.

Seeing that their expressions became more and more ugly, Su Yun didn't intend to stop talking.

"Besides, our He family has a large population. One person will borrow today, and another will borrow tomorrow. Do you think I should borrow or not?"

Father Wang's face became even more ugly when he heard this, he lowered his head, and said with difficulty, "I understand, let's forget it."

Su Yun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I haven't said anything yet, I just want to put the ugly words first."

After a pause, she continued, "Hui Lan has been married to our He family for more than ten years. I understand in my heart how she has been in these ten years. She is a very good daughter-in-law. I have always been very satisfied, including you. The same goes for this family."
