Chapter 120
"Sister Le, please explain the appearances of those people more clearly. Maybe it's because of your eyesight?!" Sun's heart felt a little cold, and she prayed that Sister Le would misunderstand like this because she didn't know anyone in the village.

But after listening to Xu Lele's description, the Li family fell silent.

Shopkeeper Qiu hurriedly comforted everyone, "Be careful here, even if those desperadoes are really coming, don't go up and stop them yourself, just report to the county!" Li Deyong with impulsive eyes.

In Xu Lele's mind, she thought of those sallow and emaciated refugees who hadn't eaten or drank at the gate of the city. Their lives were about to die, and even she would choose to take the risk.

"In previous years, when this happened, the county lord would organize merchants to give out porridge. Why is there no movement this year? But no one who has a stutter will do such a thing..."

Sun sighed with emotion, and could not help but express her dissatisfaction with the county master in her words.

Shopkeeper Qiu was a little embarrassed. The feeling of being spoken ill of his master in person was a bit sour.

Reluctantly sighed and explained for his master, "Hey, the county master is also difficult to do. The prefect of Hezhou transferred the grain from our county, not to mention, and pressured the county to take money out to buy grain."

"There is no spare money in this county. We can only mobilize those big merchants. In this way, who has the spare power to give gruel?"

Xu Lele frowned, this disaster relief can only be done from the top down, how can anyone force people to come from the bottom?
She glanced at Aunt Qiu who was also grimacing, maybe their embroidery shop was also forced to take money out?
"Also, I heard that the prefect of Hezhou will send people down to collect grain in a few days, so please pay more attention." Shopkeeper Qiu said this lightly, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, which made the Li family feel uncomfortable. Consciously lowered his voice.

"The magistrate sent someone down?" The old man of the Li family didn't expect this. In previous years, at most, they were people from the county, and the management was still loose.

But if it was changed to the magistrate, he didn't know what to do. Could it be that the food would be collected by the higher authorities?Then what else do they eat?When the time comes to beg with those refugees? !
"Yes, I'm afraid that there will be more refugees hurting people." Shopkeeper Qiu curled his lips with disdain and worry in his eyes. The prefect of Hezhou probably didn't want to leave any food for her master, but it's okay, her master is not afraid of those dirty things trick!
"You should prepare more food at home. In addition, these eating ladies pick some that are easy to preserve. You put them away and don't go out these days."

Shopkeeper Qiu reminded her repeatedly, for fear that the Li family would not take her words seriously.

"Thank you for reminding me!" The old man of the Li family came back to his senses, and cupped his hands towards Shopkeeper Qiu, who hurriedly stepped aside, "You're welcome, this is what my wife asked me to convey."

It happened that Mrs. Chen had finished her work, so she came in and asked if the table should be set up now, Mrs. Sun greeted with a smile.

"I've been talking for a long time, and my stomach is going to growl. Hurry up and try my big daughter-in-law's skills!"

Soon Mrs. Li and her sisters-in-law arranged all the meals. The dishes were very rich, and some of them were just brought by the shopkeeper Qiu. The color and fragrance caused the youngest children to bite their fingers and drool saliva.

Xu Lele couldn't take it anymore when she smelled the scent. She really wanted to help but the adults wouldn't let her, so she had to sit back next to shopkeeper Qiu and wait obediently. Everyone was amused by her small appearance.

"I'm not being polite, so I borrowed Sister Le's flowers to present to Sister Qiu!"

Mrs. Zhou is a person who knows how to come. He was the first to raise his wine glass to toast the shopkeeper Qiu.

Even Xu Lele couldn't control the curvature of the corner of his mouth, and bent it quietly.
