As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!
Chapter 192: Persuading Villagers to Stock Up on Food
"When you run out of food, you'll starve to death!"
"So the village chief can't stand you guys? He's thinking about you!"
Chen Jixiang finally couldn't hold back his anger and stood up, "Yes, my father is wholeheartedly doing good for everyone, but you don't appreciate it."
His tone was full of grievance, and he wanted to speak up for his father!
Although his father was not very wise, he was the head of the village after all. He never bent the law for personal gain and always cared about everyone.
Now he ended up being blamed by everyone, and he stood up because he was really angry.
The village chief waved his hand to signal him to shut up. He looked around at the people below. There were friends he had played with since childhood, but now they were all old.
There are some of my distant relatives and neighbors, as well as villagers who I am not familiar with on weekdays but can still talk to a few words...
Young and old, standing in circles...
Everyone's face was particularly familiar in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Yunzhu is right. I think the same thing. I have been the village chief for so many years. I believe you all know how I treat you."
"If nothing else, I sincerely wish everyone the best."
"Don't sell the food, stock up if you can."
"Everyone, go home and think about this carefully. As for the decision, I can't control it anymore."
"Ugh......."
He walked home with his hands behind his back, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.
Tie Daniu was exhausted by Chen Qiqi's tyranny these days, but he felt fortunate after hearing the village chief's words.
Chen Qiqi is not a good person, but her family is good!
A long time ago, my third uncle told me to stock up on food. At that time, the price of food had not risen yet, so I was half-believing and half-doubting, so I stocked up some food at home.
Now the price has actually increased, even the village chief has come to persuade everyone!
He suddenly felt that even if his wife had many faults, she was lucky enough to have a good family.
Just based on this favor, he would not ignore her.
As for feelings, well, I won't force it...
Cui Yunzhu walked back to Chen Yan and saw the man looking at her with approval. At the end, he held her hand to give her strength. The haze in her heart was dispelled by the sunshine.
She felt that her action was not rash and that as long as she had a clear conscience, that was all!
Zheng Xialan ran over and looked at her in admiration, "Third sister-in-law, you are amazing! How do you know so much!"
Cui Yunzhu smiled and winked at her, "This is what your third brother told me."
She pushed the matter onto Chen Yan, and the next person Zheng Xialan started to chatter about was Chen Yan.
The man looked at her lovingly while dealing with Zheng Xialan with a headache.
After Zheng Xialan and Zhang Ping got married, they originally planned to move back to Lingshui Village.
But recently his grandparents have been in worse health, and there are no relatives in Lingshui Village, so the Zhang family decided to move to Yulin Village.
The house over there was put on hold for the time being, and Zheng Xialan would naturally live in Yulin Village as well, being very close to Xiao Zheng. The two sisters were very happy about this.
The three of them often get together and their relationship becomes better and better.
So when she meets Cui Yunzhu and Chen Yan now, she is much happier than before.
.........
Since then, many villagers listened to his advice and not only did they not sell their grain outside, they also gritted their teeth and took out their own money to buy some grain and store it at home.
Chen Yan watched the villagers carrying in bags of grain every day, and felt that his wife was right to stand up and speak out!
He knew that she had been feeling conflicted, feeling that she knew what would happen in the future but could not publicize it, otherwise she would be caught in the act by someone with ulterior motives.
But I couldn’t bear to see these villagers displaced and hungry.
After all, she had experienced it herself. Although he had never experienced that feeling, he found it horrible when he thought about it carefully.
What's more, every time Cui Yunzhu mentioned it, the panic in her eyes was obvious.
Nowadays, almost every household in Yulin Village has stockpiled some food. Even though some people still complain that food is expensive, they still stockpile it after discussing it with their families.
So Chen Yan felt that this famine would be very different.
There is also a water source.
If the villagers do not want to move south in the future, he is willing to help them. Then each household can take a little water from the source every day, which will be enough to maintain basic life.
........
"Murder, my God! I'm scared to death!"
Aunt Zhang had just returned from the town. She was so frightened that even her hair was loose. She jumped off the ox cart in a hurry and started shouting on the village road.
Everyone came forward upon hearing the noise, asking in unison, "Who killed someone?"
"Say it quickly!"
"You guys...ah..."
She covered her chest with her hands, looking frightened, "You don't know, this town is really scary!"
"Today, many people went to the grain store to grab food!"
"There is no law yet. Aren't you afraid of being caught and beaten by the soldiers?" everyone asked anxiously.
"Thanks to the village chief and Chen's wife, we didn't have to sell the food and even stockpiled some. Otherwise, we don't know if we can afford to eat it now!"
"The price of grain has risen to 70 wen per pound now!"
"Oh my god! 70 wen!"
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. "Pork is only 35 cents a pound, and he dares to sell it for 70!"
"Today I went to town and saw a man going to a small shop to buy food. He was shocked when he heard the price. He didn't have enough money and his family was out of food, so he begged the shop owner to sell him some."
"The grain store owner refused. The grain price is so high now. Where can he buy it with the ten copper coins in his hand?"
"Then the man took a knife and stabbed the grain store owner to death without saying a word!"
"All the people from the government office have gone over and formed a circle around them! It's really scary!"
Cui Yunzhu also heard it not far away.
She and Xiao Zheng went to play with Zheng Xialan. Zhang Ping's maternal grandparents' home was closer to the village entrance, so they happened to hear what Aunt Zhang said.
Zheng Xialan felt a little scared and glanced at Cui Yunzhu calmly. The gratitude in her heart was beyond words!
She was really glad that she came to Yulin Village. Not only did she meet Zhang Ping, but she also had a family. Now she lives a rich and healthy life, and her days are stable and happy.
And thanks to the relationship with my third brother and his wife, the family had stockpiled a lot of food in advance.
Cui Yunzhu also understood the gratitude in her eyes and smiled faintly, "We are all family."
Little Zheng was really frightened, "So fast?"
she murmured.
"They dare to kill people even before chaos breaks out. What will happen in the future?"
Cui Yunzhu looked at Aunt Zhang in the distance, who was sweating and looking terrified, her eyes empty as if she was recalling something.
“It will only get harder from now on.”
"But."
Then the darkness in her eyes was covered by light again, "But we are all here as a family, and we will definitely work together to overcome this difficulty!"
The two people beside him nodded and held each other's hands tightly.
