After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 83 Plum Mansion
"Your news is outdated, the men of the Wang family wash their faces with human milk, and the women bathe with milk.

The women of the Wang family, old and young, all filled the barracks as prostitutes.

It's a pity that we are not lucky. This is all cheap for the soldiers at the border.

Hahaha, if I knew this, I should also serve in the frontier army.

Maybe, you can also taste the taste of the Wang family's concubine or wife, even the maids are more tender than the yellow-faced women at home.

I heard that those servants are all very beautiful.

Especially the third lady of the Wang family, who is so beautiful that she dances in the garden and attracts butterflies and bees, she must be such a fragrant beauty!
Tsk tsk, my faraway beauty! "

The two wretched men were thinking about beautiful things along the way, and the young five and three who followed behind were elated.

"Fifth Brother, we have avenged our brothers!" He Qi choked up.

"The revenge is revenge, but we also lost our job, the current harvest is not good, and the next life will definitely be difficult.

Go home and have a look first! "Xiao Wu looked at the two people walking away, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

The three penniless people, not to mention being spared from prison, also got a set of new cotton coats from the Futai adults, the three of them are extremely grateful.

The three of them believed that the Futai Master was an upright official who cared about the people, and they would certainly publicize it after returning home.

The Wang family has fallen, and the three of them running on the street in the rain have nothing to worry about.

The shops on both sides of the street opened one after another, but they were still so deserted that no one patronized them.

The grain store with a new signboard reads on the small wooden board hanging at the door.

Japonica rice is fifty cents a liter, grain rice is thirty cents a liter, and wheat bran is eight cents a liter.

There was a long queue in front of each newly opened grain store, and the vigilant eyes of two soldiers with swords swept over everyone's face.

When you meet familiar people and say hello, you just nod your head and pass them by.

...

The once bustling Wang family mansion has a new plaque at the door.

Meifu.

The servants who came in and out were busy carrying the boxes and cages on the carriage, all of them looked happy.

A hale and hearty sixty-year-old man took the oil-paper umbrella from the servant when he got out of the carriage.

The sixty-year-old man held an oil-paper umbrella, looked at the words Meifu on the plaque, and sighed lowly.

"Cang'er, because my father was a noble man all his life, he also raised you to such a degree that he didn't know what to do, that's why he suffered such a disaster.

There is nowhere to go for the father who wants to see you, and the whereabouts of the son and daughter are also unknown.

The enemy who harmed you is dead, and my father will try his best to find a pair of children for you, and bring them back to their ancestors.

Since then, the hanging pot of Mei's family has been hung high, and it no longer helps the world and the people.

Those who live me live, those who die me die! "

The two adult men who got off the carriage supported an old woman with silver hair, and her sick face looked older.

When the old woman heard the old man's words, tears rolled down her eyes, and she felt pain in her chest.

"Cang'er, why are you willing to leave me as your mother, my son!"

"Mother, the third brother and third sister-in-law are gone, you have to take care of yourself.

The two nephews and nieces have not been found yet, so they must not fall ill, and the two children still rely on you to teach them. "Mei Ji persuaded with red eyes.

"Mother, it hurts here! It's the flesh that fell from my mother's body!

I didn't even see them for the last time, and there was no news of the two children. Why didn't they go back to Qingyang Mansion to look for us.

Mother is looking forward to it every day, but she hasn't expected anyone to come back. The two children are still so young, where can they go! "

When Mei Miao thought of her little grandson whom she had never met, tears began to fall again.

"Auspicious people have Tianxiang, the two children will be fine, they must be waiting for us somewhere." Mei Xuan turned his head and wiped his face.

"Yes, it will definitely be waiting for us!" Mei Miao clasped her hands together.

The Mei family, who got off the carriage, stood in the rain with oil-paper umbrellas supported by servants. There were about 20 people, big and small, listening to the conversation of several people with different expressions.

The second wife, Mei Yan's eyelids drooped slightly, her expression was indifferent, and she showed no interest in the nephew and niece whose whereabouts were unknown.

The family can live the current life, but it is all thanks to her daughter.

After moving to a new house, she is the head wife of the Mei family, and she is bound to compete this time.

Because of their in-law relationship, the Mei family easily won the Wang family's mansion that was sealed up by the government. Although they are not considered a big family in Jiang's mansion, they finally have a seat.

Mei Yongde, known as "Mei Yizhen", died of being framed because her most proud third son, and the whereabouts of a pair of grandchildren and granddaughters are unknown.

Frustrated, Feng Zhen no longer saves people.

The Meijia Pharmacy also stopped attending clinics and seeing patients, but changed its business to medicinal materials, and Jimin Pharmacy was renamed Sifang Pharmacy from then on.

The boss, Mei Xuan, was sent to inquire about the whereabouts of the two children under the pretext of purchasing medicinal materials.

...

In Jiangfu, because of the intervention of the officials from Taiwan and Taiwan, the price of grain was brought under control, and there was no more robbery of grain.

In this rainy winter, many people have to do odd jobs, dig wild vegetables, and fish and shrimp in rivers in order to make ends meet.

In order to barely cover the stomach, the family will not starve to death.

When the first snow fell, the crops in the field were hopeless, and the farmers could only hope to replant other crops in the next spring.

People with a sense of urgency tightened their belts, went out early and returned late to find food, and filled the food gap.

The crops were not harvested for two consecutive seasons, and many people were miserable.

The business of dental clinics is flourishing like never before, and more and more people are selling their children and themselves.

There are not a few people selling land and houses, and the prices have been suppressed again and again.

In the affluent Jiangfu Plain, when the weather is good and the weather is good, an acre of fertile land can be sold for 20 taels of silver per acre.

But now, there are only 15 taels and one mu, and they still have to be picked.

Wealthy people don't look down on the small fields, and they usually buy them from people with a little property, so the cheaper the better.

...

Fangjia Village.

The four sons of the Fang family, and the two daughters who came to borrow food, all gathered in the main room of the Fang family.

Old man Fang was smoking a hookah in silence, his old face wrinkled enough to kill mosquitoes.

The old Fang kept wiping away tears, and the three daughters-in-law also had red eye circles, and they wiped their eyes from time to time.

"Father, it's time for you to tell me something! If you don't bring money and food back home, my husband will be so hungry that he won't have the energy to read." Fang Shuiyao saw that the whole family was silent, and she stomped her foot to be the first to speak out.

"When is it time to read a book, even if you can't support yourself, you still read a book.

In recent years, he, Liu Tongcai, took money and food from Fang's family in the name of being a scholar.

It's like the Fang family is supporting him, so what face is there to ask for money and food now.

Fang Shuiyao, let's settle the score, how much money you took away in the past five years, let alone food.

Every month, the second day after Xiao Wu's salary is paid, you will come to pick up the money on time.

For two taels of wages, you have to take one tael away, and you still come to your mother every now and then to ask for some.

After a month, most of Xiao Wu's wages will go into your pocket.

Every time he comes back, he will give you some more, don't think I don't know.

The money spent on him, Liu Tongcai, was at least 100 taels these years. "

Old man Fang, who was smoking a stuffy cigarette, slapped the pipe on the table and scolded loudly.
