Chapter 220 One hundred and three riots (1)
On November [-]th, the weather was getting colder, but it still didn't rain. This year's cotton was not easy to buy, and the price was very expensive. Li Ran still bought several hundred catties of cotton from Qingmu Country through his connections.

Now everyone is counting on the next heavy snow, which can also relieve the suffering of drinking water.

Aunt Ma came to Li Ran's house alone this day.

"Aunt Ma, what's wrong?" Li Ran asked.

"Xiao Ran, I know that your family has a lot of connections. Can you also help me buy a few catties of cotton? The cotton in my family has long been useless. The children in the family are still young, so we need to keep warm." Aunt Ma sighed, " It’s really hard to live now, you can forget about the years of war, but it’s still so dry during the peace years, there’s really no place to spend money and no place to enjoy the blessings.”

"Aunt Ma, I can only buy one or two hundred catties now. I'll give you ten catties, and I won't have anything more." Li Ran said, then turned around and ordered Qiuyue to go to the warehouse to get ten catties of cotton.

"Thank you, Xiao Ran. We don't need to cover it. We are afraid that the child will freeze, and it is getting colder and colder." Aunt Ma said.

"This year should not be as cold as previous years, and it won't snow. Just burn more charcoal." Li Ran said.

"Hey, all the wood that can be cut on the mountain has been cut down, and now there are only big trees left, and the village head told everyone not to cut big ones." Aunt Ma sighed, "I don't know how the sweet potatoes grown in the field are. Fortunately, I planted some stored food with you in the past few years, otherwise it would be really difficult."

"It's good to have something to eat." Li Ran watched Mian Mian coming, "Aunt Ma, hurry back with Mian Mian, don't let anyone see it."

Aunt Ma understood, "I know." After thanking her, she went home with cotton in her arms.

"Girl, we don't have much cotton." Qiu said.

"We still have last year's cotton. Although it's not as warm as the new cotton, it's still usable." Li Ran thought everyone should persevere.

In Beijing, a private room on the third floor of a certain restaurant by the window.

"Refugees are pouring in." Su Bai glanced at those thinly dressed people, feeling a little sympathetic.

"Well, the emperor has been busy with disaster relief recently." Qu Ze smiled.

"Then you just pay the money." Su Bai said.

"No, the old man paid for it." Qu Ze said.

Su Bai glanced at the refugees again, a little worried about Li Ran who was far away in Qingxi Village.

Qu Ze saw Su Bai's worry, "Don't worry, your wife and children are doing well, with food, drink and shelter, but if you don't go back, maybe your wife and children will belong to someone else."

Su Bai immediately became angry when he heard that, "What did you say?"

"Don't, don't, just kidding, as for delivery?" Qu Ze smiled slightly. "But to be honest, if you don't go back, the children won't know you anymore, and your wife probably won't talk to you anymore. Time will kill everything."

Su Bai smiled, "She won't."

"Tch...you are the only one who is so stupid, sticking to a village flower." Qu Ze smiled.

"We're almost ready for that." Su Bai didn't want to continue that topic. "When will you do it?"

"Why are you in such a hurry, your wife and children can't run away." Qu Ze joked.

Su Bai kicked towards Qu Ze, "Say it or not."

When Qu Ze saw Su Bai kicking him, he immediately dodged aside, "Okay, okay, let me say."

"On November 25th, the Three Kingdoms are visiting." Qu Ze said.

"It's better to succeed in one fell swoop, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Su Bai said angrily, turned and left.

"Ma'am, I heard that refugees have appeared in many places, and there have been looting incidents." Aunt Wu said.
