I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

 Chapter 376: Suffering a Misfortune

There was a commotion for several days, but no one dared to come forward to find someone to settle the score, and it slowly died down. Baiyun Xi has been paying attention to the situation in the village. In his free time, he squatted by the river fishing, waiting for Song Wang to give him a favor. She sends messages.

Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi was a bit dumbfounded. The Song Wang family had been making trouble over the issue of selling grain. The reason was still the expense of Song Jie's education. The other two families always felt that they had suffered too much and were unwilling to accept it.

Just because of this matter, the matter of selling grain was delayed, which was a blessing in disguise.

 When mentioning this point, the Song Wang family himself was filled with emotion.

With the village settled down, Xiaosi went to the town again to inquire about the news. The boy was smart and had a good relationship with Du Shun. Du Shun helped him inquire about the news when he was away.

There was a commotion for a while, and people in the surrounding villages also calmed down. However, the price of food in the town increased by another penny, and finally received an order from the government not to increase it without permission.

 Twenty-five cents, temporarily stable.

Looking for an opportunity, Bai Yunxi went to the town alone and went directly to the grain store. From a distance, he saw a group of people surrounding the grain store. Some were crying and others were kneeling. Only shopkeeper Wang standing at the door had a dark face.

“Shopkeeper, please give us some extra money. I have sold all my food to your family.”

"Yes, we don't have enough food at home. The price of food has skyrocketed. Brown rice has risen to fifteen cents. If you don't make up for the difference, our family will starve to death."

"You who run grain shops have a big family and a big business. You are different from us poor people. Please be merciful. As long as you have something to eat, we will never make a fuss here."

Baiyunxi stood not far away, looking at these old, weak, women and children, pursed his lips, is he changing his routine again?

 The men were beaten back and replaced by women and children?

Listening to these cries and looking at the patches of clothes on their bodies, it is true that they are all poor people.

 But, I always feel like something is wrong.

 There were many people watching the excitement around. Some pointed at the grain store, while others expressed helplessness.

Shopkeeper Wang stood at the door of the grain store, staring at the crying women and children on the ground with a dark face, and took a few deep breaths.

"I think you are women and children, and I can't bear to let others do anything to you. If you don't know what's good, I won't be polite... Go back while it's still early. The government has issued a document. The previous transaction was fair and reasonable, and there was no fraud. No matter what No matter how much trouble you make, it’s impossible to make up the money.”

"Besides, I am also the boss of my boss. To put it bluntly, I am the servant's life. No matter how hard you make things for me, I can't make the decision."

Shopkeeper Wang said, raising his hand to pinch his eyebrows, and then raising his eyes, the politeness on his face disappeared.

"I kindly advise you to leave. Don't take advantage of your status as a woman or child. My tolerance is also limited. If you really push me, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

As soon as Shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, five or six menace-like thugs immediately emerged from behind him, holding their wrists one by one, their bones cracking.

As soon as these people came out, the onlookers immediately retreated ten feet away. The women and children kneeling at the door and crying all turned pale with fright.

Some of the timid ones just collapsed on the ground, without even the strength to move. Some covered their mouths and cried.

"Woooo...you have pity on us poor people, right?"

 “Woo woo…”

Bai Yunxi stood aside, looking at this posture, thinking about their respective positions, and felt helpless.

 When they first gathered to sell grain, the price was the same as last year, but no one knew that news of war would suddenly spread.
