Chapter 20: widow with dead husband

Five cents a pound of flour is also one stone; soybeans are five cents a catty, and I bought 30 catties; corn flour is three cents a catty, and I bought forty catties.

In this way, the money that was just earned was spent all the money, and more than 100 copper plates had to be posted.

"Gu... girl, how do you bring so much grain home?" The guy in the grain shop asked dumbfoundedly while looking at a girl's house in An Jiuyue, but bought 430 catties of grain.

Although he was happy to see so much grain sold at once, but seeing such a weak little girl, can he handle so much grain?

And it's still raining.

"It's alright, you can put it out of the door for me first. My family will come and get it soon." An Jiuyue said to the man.

Before she came in, she had seen that there was an inconspicuous place outside the grain store, and there was a dry place where grain could be stored for a while.

She can wait until the people here are not paying attention, directly collect all the food into the space, and then leave.

Seeing what she said, the man naturally believed her words, and packed all the rice and noodles she needed in one bag, one 60-pound bag of brown rice and polished rice, four bags, and a 30-pound bag of flour. Four bags, then one bag of soybeans, and two bags of cornmeal.

They were all placed outside where An Jiuyue pointed. In order to avoid getting wet, the guy put a few sacks underneath.

An Jiuyue watched the guy put the things away, and after a while, seeing that there was no one there, she put the things in the space and went home.

After a while, the boss in the rice shop came out from behind, and the guy told him about it.

"Boss, don't you think it's strange? I've never seen anyone from any company who bought so much food all at once. Are you planning to spend the New Year? But it's just the beginning of spring."

"What do you know?"

The boss rolled his eyes at him angrily.

"It's been raining for so many days, who knows when this ghastly weather will last? That Luoquanhe doesn't know if it can hold up.

We are fine here. If we go further west, those villages rely on Luoquan River to live. If there is any movement in that river, they will all have to die.

If you don't stock up on more food now, how will you survive then? Haven't seen our food prices go up? "

"That can't be that much." The man muttered to himself.

Besides, what's the use of hoarding so much grain? After being soaked in the rain, it's not all blind, and it's still money that's wasted.

However, it wasn't his money that was wasted, so he didn't have to care so much.



It is said that An Jiuyue, after returning from the town in a hurry, did not go home directly, but went to the village where her household registration is located, and knocked on the door of the patriarch's uncle's house.

"Yo, isn't this Jiuyue from the old Tutou family, what are you doing here on a rainy day?"

The patriarch's daughter-in-law braved the rain to come to open the door. Seeing that it was An Jiuyue, the boss was unhappy. Those snobbish eyes swept An Jiuyue up and down, and asked yin and yang strangely.

Although this An Jiuyue is said to have two sons, she is a widow with a dead husband.

And there is also a little face that will be fascinated by men when they see it. There are many young boys in the village, and they are eager to marry people into the door, so that they can be cheap fathers for her two sons!
