The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 61 Guarantee (2)
"That's what she deserves! She kneels if she wants to, why is it for me? If it is for me, she is reluctant to let Madam Du tie me up and kneel? Is there such a cruel sister as her? If my grandmother was here, she would definitely not Let her bully me like this! When I go back to Yangzhou and see my grandmother, I will tell my grandmother that my sister bullies me, and my father and mother will watch my sister bully me!"

Xie Wenbao hated it, and said that in front of his mother, the eyes of Du Juan were so excited that he wanted to cry.How can I teach this ignorant child well!

"Miss, look, even if you want to punish the young master, you can't torment yourself like this! The knees are red and swollen, and the swelling may not go away tonight, and I'm afraid you won't be able to walk properly tomorrow!"

While rubbing the potion for Xie Wenjing, Mama Du looked at the young lady's swollen knee with discomfort.

"Mother Du, I can't help it. If I don't kneel with my brother, I can't bear it in my heart. My brother may hate me even more. This pain, if I can change my brother to be sensible and understand my painstaking efforts, I will Even if I kneel for another two days, I am willing."

Today, although my younger brother seems to have some hatred for me on the surface, he also has a respect for me. In this way, if I want to discipline him in the future, he will definitely restrain himself because of his respect for me.

Don't dare to be like today, do what you want, if you don't follow him, you will fight to the death.The whole family was disturbed by the disturbance.The younger brother was already used to being extremely willful by his grandmother. Fortunately, the younger brother was still young, and his grandmother was not around at this time. Taking this opportunity, he had no choice but to discipline him cruelly.

My father is not in good health and cannot be so stimulated by my younger brother, and my mother is also soft-hearted, and my heart will soften when my younger brother makes a fuss. Only I will take care of him cruelly.

"I'm not afraid that he hates me now, and I'm not afraid that he will always hate me in the future. As long as he can be sensible and behave well, as long as he can honor his parents, even if he hates me in his heart all his life, I will admit it."

With Xie Wenjing's helpless attitude, her younger brother in her previous life didn't like her because she often used money to control him, and when she died, she didn't see him feeling sorry for her.

In this life, I don't expect to be loved by my younger brother. As long as my younger brother is well, as long as my parents are well, I am satisfied.

"Miss, when the young master grows up, he will definitely understand your painstaking efforts." Madam Du comforted Xie Wenjing.

"I hope so!" Xie Wenjing forced a smile.

It's time for the wheat harvest, and farmers in the south of the Yangtze River have to count the harvest after all.

It's just that their hopes have been shattered. This time the wheat harvest is almost complete, which makes all the farmers who had hoped for it feel sad and hopeless, especially now that the price of rice and noodles has risen to a level that they cannot bear, which is more than four times higher than in previous years.

This is not hopeless. With the rapid rise in the price of rice noodles, the cost of other daily necessities has also skyrocketed.

All commodities, except for official salt, almost all other materials have increased several times, making ordinary people's life suddenly difficult.

Rice has long been out of reach, flour is also out of reach, oil is even unthinkable, and the seeds of crops are soaring.

At the same time, a large amount of rice noodles in Jiangnan was hoarded by unscrupulous merchants to wait for higher prices. On the one hand, the price of rice noodles kept rising, and on the other hand, there was a serious shortage of rice noodles in the market.

It is very common for people to have enough food to eat.

"I beg Master Qingtian, open a storehouse for disaster relief, and give us a bite to eat!"

Many people in Hangzhou gathered in front of the magistrate and knelt down in a crowd of yellow and emaciated victims.

Yamens in Yangzhou, Jinling, and Jiangnan were surrounded by disaster victims, and some victims even looted businesses.

At this time, the Li Family Ancestral Hall, so the villagers had no idea. The wheat had already been burned. Compared with the villagers who had no harvest in other villages, although they had no wheat, they still had soybeans that were growing gratifyingly.

Nowadays, the price of soybean seeds is soaring, and it is almost [-] cents a catty. This is something that was unimaginable in the past.

Although it is difficult to accept soybeans as food, it is much better than eating nothing.

The villagers in other villages saw the bean fields in the Li Clan Ancestral Hall, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy. They even stole unripe soybeans. After they were found out by the villagers and kicked out, the villagers in the Li Clan Ancestral Hall began to organize villagers to patrol the bean fields in the whole village day and night. , There is still half a month to harvest.

Xie Wenjing also arranged for several servants in the family to patrol and guard Douzi along with the villagers of the Li Family Ancestral Hall.Wait for the soybeans to mature.

In the eyes of the Li Family Ancestral Hall, Xie Wenjing is no longer a rich lady, but their benefactor.

If Xie Wenjing hadn't taken the lead in burning the wheat that had long since been harvested, they wouldn't have followed suit so happily.

Nowadays, the price of goods is soaring. Even if someone wants to grow beans, they can’t afford such expensive beans, let alone other species. Nowadays, it is difficult for the common people to eat everything in one bite.

Thanks to this eldest lady, at that time, she gave the village money to repair the yard and treat the village to eat. At that time, many villagers in the village took the money and bought some flour for storage. Now they should be able to wait until the soybean harvest.

When the beans are harvested and sold for silver, they can still be exchanged for rice noodles. The beans this year are growing so well. One mu of paddy fields can yield at least 700 catties. This is a bumper harvest!

After the beans are harvested, it should not affect the rice planting of the next season.It's just half a month later than in previous years, and it doesn't matter.

"We have hoarded so much rice, and now it's time to use it. General Shangguan sent someone over and said that he needed 60 catties of rice. Now that the price of goods has risen extremely sharply, if the imperial court wants to raise enough rice for food and wages, it must be done. It’s much more difficult. But those soldiers have no strength without rice, and we can’t wait to exchange the rice we hoarded to buy supplies, and now the most scarce thing ahead is rice.”

Xie Wenjing's grandfather said with a serious face.

Although the Du family also earned money from the grain business, most of it was secretly transferred to the army under the First Prince, and General Shangguan was the one who protected the First Prince. He didn't retreat, but General Shangguan didn't just retreat blindly, but turned to business and supported the eldest prince with supplies.

Xie Wenjing's maternal grandfather was a member of General Shangguan, who ran the rice noodle business, and secretly supported the eldest prince.

"But Dad, what we really have is only 20 catties, and the other 40 catties will be delivered to the Qin family's rice shop in half a month. If we can't deliver, our whole family will have to bear high compensation for breach of contract, what?"

The eldest aunt is a little embarrassed. If I knew it, just two months ago, I would have borrowed money to buy 40 catties of rice. Don't be so embarrassed now.
