Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 84
If you don't want to go hungry, there are only two roads left in front of Old Jiangtou.

Either, use the land deed to find Jiang Erya, a black-hearted ghost, to exchange for food, or use the land deed as collateral to find Li Zheng, an old enemy, to borrow food.

Among these two paths, Old Jiang head resolutely chose the third one - he quietly went to find Jiang Erniu.

Old Jiang carried Jiang Erya behind his back, called Jiang Erniu aside, and shed tears before he could speak.

The tears were real, half of them came out of anger at Jiang Dashan's unfilial son, and half of them came out of starvation after two meals.

He didn't wipe away the tears, he just hung them up like tea.

He said pitifully to Jiang Erniu: "Erniu, uncle is hungry, can you quietly bring him something to eat?"

Jiang Erniu had a complicated expression on his face, and his feet seemed to have taken root, and he didn't move a step.

Jiang Erya had just confessed to him that he was not allowed to be soft-hearted, and he was not allowed to give the food she had grown so hard to eat to Lao Jiang's family.

Jiang Erya’s original words are as follows, “If we make such a start and give them food for nothing, they will attach themselves like blood-sucking leeches, asking for things endlessly.

We have something to give, then everything is easy to talk about.

If one day we lost the protection of the old gods and became poor and empty again, and they couldn't squeeze out any oil from us, guess what they would do?
They will definitely find Ren Yazi and the old bustard again, and take us father and daughter to sell! "

Seeing that Jiang Erniu was not moving, Old Jiang urged: "Good boy, go, go get uncle something to eat!"

Jiang Erniu moved, and walked directly to where his family's cart was. When he got to the side of the cart, he sat down on the ground and didn't move again.

There was a gratified expression on Old Jiangtou's face, and then it split open.

What the hell, even a fool like Jiang Erniu is unwilling to give him food, so who else can he beg for?
Seeing that the third road was impracticable, Lao Jiangtou seriously chose between the first two roads.

It is obviously more cost-effective to ask Lizheng to borrow food than to ask Jiang Erya for food.

Old Jiangtou waved at Mrs. Jiang and asked her to take the land deed and run there again.

Mrs. Jiang went, but unfortunately, Lizheng's son and daughter-in-law found out about it, and they strongly opposed it.

Lizheng's eldest son said: "How is the road ahead? Can we go back to our hometown safely? Will the higher-ups provide relief food after returning to our hometown?
Will we distribute grain seeds so that everyone can replant grain?How many days will it take to wait for the replanted new grain to grow...

No one knows the answers to questions like these.

In this case, only by holding food in your hand can you not panic.

Just want to exchange half an acre of paddy fields for a whole bag of grain from our family?No way!I won't change it for a thousand pieces of gold! "

Mrs. Jiang was rejected, so she took the land deed and went back to Old Jiangtou with aggrieved words, "It's all my fault. Lizheng promised to borrow it earlier, but you picked up Joe. Now it's all right, a grain of grain I can't borrow any more."

The anger in Old Jiangtou's heart suddenly burst out, and he yelled at Mrs. Jiang: "Blame me? Do you still have the face to blame me? Blame you if you want to blame, you shouldn't have given birth to an unfilial son like Jiang Dashan!
If it wasn't for him taking away our truckload of stuff, would I need to be so humbly begging grandpa to sue grandma for a bowl of rice?

When did Lao Tzu suffer from such a useless attitude? "

Mrs. Jiang threw Tian Qi directly in Old Jiang's face, patted his stomach and cursed back.

"Blame me? Without you who planted bad seeds, can such a thing grow on my good land..."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang blamed each other and quarreled, and they got even hungrier.

This time, before Lao Jiang could say anything, Mrs. Jiang picked up the land deed and went to Jiang Erya to exchange food.

Jiang Erya laughed, "Wouldn't you rather starve to death than eat my food?"

Mrs. Jiang pretended not to understand, and handed the land deed to Jiang Erya.

But Jiang Erya said: "I said, don't come back to me again, do you remember this sentence?"

Mrs. Jiang turned her head away, not answering the question.

Jiang Erya continued: "I'm going to raise the price, half an acre of paddy fields can only be exchanged for half a bag of grain now. Do you still want to change?"

Mrs. Jiang turned her head "suddenly", so hard that she almost broke her own neck.

"You black-hearted ghost—"

Just as Mrs. Jiang was acting up, Jiang Erya interrupted her.

"Whether you want to change or not, if you don't change, hurry up, don't waste my time, I will continue on my way soon."

Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth: "Change!"

Mrs. Jiang felt that what Lizheng's eldest son said was absolutely correct. Under the current situation, only with food in hand could she not panic.

Change food, must change food!
The fields can be bought later when they are gone.

There is still a valuable treasure buried under the old Jiang's house.When the calamity year is over, take out that treasure and sell it outside. Lao Jiang's family can buy as many fields as they want!
If people starve to death, they really have nothing.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang pointed to the cart of Jiang Erya's family and asked, "Six bags of grain, a set of cooking utensils, a jar of salt, a jar of oil, and a bag of dried meat... how many acres of paddy fields are needed in total?"

Jiang Erya raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you want to change so many things?"

Old man Jiang nodded, "Sure. Don't worry, the Tian Qi is in my hands, and I'll take it out for you right away."

She called Jiang Dongliang over and took off his clothes on the spot.

The land deed of Old Jiang's family was sewn into Jiang Dongliang's clothes.

While unpacking her clothes, Mrs. Jiang muttered to Jiang Dongliang: "Fortunately, Fang Jianren from Fangjia Village once stole it in Xinglin Village, which made my mother understand the truth that eggs should not be put in one basket.

If Mother had put these land deeds together with the bag of broken silver, they would have been stolen by that murderous Xin Lamei.

Without land deeds to exchange for food, our family of three would have to starve to death. "

Jiang Dongliang looked at the old Jiang head who was sitting in a daze in the corner, and asked Mrs. Jiang in a low voice: "Mother, if father doesn't agree to change, what should we do?"

Mrs. Jiang glared at Old Jiang's head from a distance, and said, "Then he will continue to be hungry and don't eat a single bite!"

After Mrs. Jiang took out the land deed, she traded eight acres of paddy fields with Jiang Erya.

Jiang Erya accepted the land deed, and specially wrote the deed of the sale, and pulled Li Zheng to be a witness, and asked Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang to draw a pledge before handing over the things Mrs. Jiang wanted to Jiang. Granny.

At the end, Jiang Erya said again: "If you run out of food, you can exchange it with me in the future. The price is still the same. Until my father's eighteen acres of paddy fields are all returned to my father's hands."

The surrounding villagers originally thought that one mu of paddy fields could only be exchanged for one bag of grain. Jiang Erya was really unscrupulous, and Old Jiang’s family was in a big loss. After hearing Erya’s words, they immediately changed their minds...
