A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Saying that, Bai Xia lowered his head in embarrassment.

"As you know, I came here to visit my relatives from afar. I haven't smelled the smell of oil for a long time, and I feel panicked."

"Don't laugh at me"

Hey, I want to eat some meat. Do I need to raise dozens of pigs?

The village chief's wife was amazed in her heart, but she hurriedly comforted her face: "This is just as it should be. If we hadn't been having a hard time, I would have wanted to raise some. There is no one in this village who is not hungry for that bite of food. Aren’t you poor?”

It's hard for Bai Xia to accept this.

After all, it was the people in the village who were poor, not her.

Fortunately, the village chief's wife also knew about it and didn't force her to agree.

Having said this, she took this opportunity to speak: "How busy are you with raising so many pigs? Just two girls, Jin Xi and Yun Shu, won't be able to handle it, right?"

"What do you mean by that..."

"I was thinking, do you want to hire someone to raise pigs? When we were not so poor, our family raised pigs for a while, and my eldest daughter-in-law took care of them at that time. I was thinking that if you want to hire someone, Can you let her come here to work?"

"It doesn't matter how much the salary is, just give me some as you see fit."

The village chief's wife's face felt very hot, but she thought that she was doing this to make a living for her family, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about, so she straightened her chest.

Bai Xia was secretly amused in her heart. She was going to come over to do the work, how could she just watch it happen?

But the village chief's wife is here, which is just in time.

When the pigsty is repaired, people will definitely be invited.

She has also met the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law. She is a neat and hard-working person, so she is quite suitable for this job.

"Look how outlandish your words are. If my pigsty is repaired and I really need to hire someone, I will need your help to recommend some capable people like my sister-in-law. If you don't arrange them for me, , I won’t be happy then.”

Bai Xia smiled and said: "It's just that the pigsty is still being repaired, and we still have to find so many piglets." This means that if there are not so many piglets, we will definitely not invite people.

"That's natural. You asked your uncle to help find the piglets. He is a big man. How could he know which family has so many piglets? Don't worry about the piglets. My aunt will take care of them for you."

Hearing that Bai Xia really wanted to invite someone, the village chief's wife burst into laughter.

The pigsty was simpler than building a house, and it would take less time to build, but she still had to do the math for this little piggy.

"Then you need to worry more about this matter."

After hearing what she said, Bai Xia was happy to support her.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who the couple is looking for, as long as they can find so many piglets for her.

After sending away the village chief's wife, Bai Xia returned to the courtyard.

In the afternoon, Yu Dahai and his party came back.

First, the grains they bought were given to them one by one, and then the grains were sent to the village chief's house and the clan chief's house.

Yu Dahai just returned home.

Although the villagers worked for Bai Xia and the others, her house was stylish and she was rich, so these villagers would not come to her directly.

Except for the village chief's wife, Bai Xia has never interacted with anyone else in the village.

After receiving the food, the villagers did not dare to go to their homes. Instead, many went to the village chief's home.

When they arrived, they saw the village chief's eldest son carrying food home.

"Village chief, you bought too much grain? How much money do you get?"

The first person to arrive was the Chen Shun family from the west end of the village. He was about forty years old, with a gray cloth wrapped around his head and a pair of narrow eyes. He looked a bit vicious and mean, but in fact he was a very kind person. "Second sister-in-law is here"

The village chief's wife came out to greet him.

"Osmanthus fragrans"

"I saw you bought food. How much money did it cost? You are not afraid of being cheated." After meeting the village chief's wife, the Chen Shun family naturally stopped talking to the two village chiefs.

Although the war between men and women in the village is not that serious, whose woman would catch a man and talk non-stop?
"I bought all the food for my family. Do you think I was cheated?"

"It's you, when my family went to inform you earlier, why didn't you think of buying some food?"

The village chief's wife felt a little unhappy. She didn't expect that when it came time to buy grain, except for the clan leader's family, the other families only bought a little bit. She didn't quite believe what his family said.

Even so, I can understand it in my heart.

You guys are worried.

"Who said we won't buy it? I'm here right now," Chen Shun spat at her.

"I know the character of the village chief, and you also know that this town is not peaceful. I finally have some money, so I can't get it out at once. But now I have figured it out, this family still needs to have food to not panic. You You don’t know, but my second grandson is so hungry that he’s all skin and bones.”

"See if you can ask the village chief to help with another trip, and ask Butler Yu to lend you a carriage and horse, and then help us buy some food back." The Chen Shun family lowered their voices, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hey, second sister-in-law, it's not that we don't want to help, it's really..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Shun's family frowned, secretly thinking that maybe they were still worried about the fact that they didn't buy food with them.

"Our boss came back and told me that the grain merchant originally planned to stay for three days, but after staying for one day, he suddenly said that there was a big family in Qingyang County who wanted grain. When they came back in the afternoon, they had already left the town. If we hadn’t gone early, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to buy so much food.”

"Look, how good this food is, it's only thirty cents a pound."

The village chief's wife grabbed a handful of grain and waved it in front of Chen Shun's house.

The Chen Shun family screamed as if they were struck by lightning: "What did you say? The grain merchant is gone."

The voice was so loud and loud that many women who came to buy food heard it and crowded in at once.

The courtyard of the village chief's house was not big to begin with, but it was suddenly filled to the brim.

"Why did they leave?"

"Didn't we agree to stay for three days? This is only one day."

"They are gone, what should we do to buy food?"

……

A group of women were chattering so loudly that the village chief's wife's ears hurt. It was just that the grain merchant had left, so she still had to tell the others.

I spent the whole afternoon explaining to them, some of them shamelessly even asking the village chief if he could sell them some grain.

The village chief and others did not expect that the grain merchant would leave. How could they dare to sell more than 100 kilograms of grain.

There are hundreds of people in the village, and even if one family sells it for three to five kilograms, it is not enough.

I could only refuse them all.

After all, you sold it to one company, how can you not sell it to others?
All of a sudden, there were a lot of complaints in the village. Some unreasonable people even blamed the village chief and others. They felt that it was the village chief who made them unable to buy food. They were so angry that the village chief's wife argued with them for a long time before they finally broke up. go.

"Everyone of them thinks we owe them something. If they don't buy food, they blame us. Now if they don't sell their food, it's our fault. It's so shameless. Bah."

After scolding all the spoiled women away, the village chief's wife was still angry.
