Rebirth 1955 starts from the hunter

Chapter 248 Xueru Silk Shop

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Lin Dong and his wife arrived at Daqianmen at around 5:30 in the afternoon.

Because it is summer, it is still early.

The couple did not rush to the pub, but instead strolled around the Daqianmen area.

It was rush hour, and people were either hurrying by or walking in groups, discussing their experiences. It was quite lively.

"Hubby, didn't Shuisheng say that more places were affected by the disaster this year than last year? I didn't see a single beggar along the way. What's going on?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the government has rounded them up. If we leave them alone, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in the city..."

As he was talking, Lin Dong felt something was wrong, because he didn't see any people fleeing famine on the road outside the city.

Lou Xiao'e pulled Lin Dong's arm, pointed at a small blackboard in front of a restaurant, then pointed at the surrounding shops and said, "Something is wrong. Honey, don't you see that the restaurant's supplies are quite abundant? Cloth shops, grocery stores, and department stores are not short of supplies either, and there are many people buying things."

"I remember you said that the country had fallen out with the S Union, and hundreds of factories in the city of Sijiu alone had stopped production. Many people should have no money to spend."

"Have you forgotten one thing? Two billion... and the more than 10 million tons of grain that Donglin International sent back to China in the past few years." - Lin Dong spoke very softly, so softly that only Lou Xiao'e could hear it.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then gave Lin Dong a thumbs up and whispered, "Husband, you have done a great deed."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's praise, Lin Dong felt a little proud. In repaying the loan from S Union, the country did not ask the people to pay a penny more in taxes.

In recent years, the grain sold to the domestic market is enough to feed 10 million people for 10 years, if each person is calculated at 30 kilograms per month. In other words, it is enough to feed 100 million people for a year.

There was more meat than grain, because every time we sent supplies back to the country, the cargo ships often had empty cargo holds. In order to fill the cargo holds, we caught a lot of whales, cut the fish meat into pieces, added ice cubes and shipped back to the country.

What Lin Dong didn't know was that although Tianying had never been to Wakoku Island, they had robbed a lot of their modern fishing boats. Only a few of these fishing boats were sent to Heye Island for their own use, and the rest were almost all sold to domestic markets.

In this era, if we only talk about fishing technology, Japan is definitely the best.

They also said that this is related to the country’s land. Vegetables, fruits and grains are all imported. If the country does not study the lowest-cost fishing technology, the burden on the country will be even greater.

"Chen Xueru, can you please not be so selfish? My father is your uncle after all. Now that he's sick, you really don't have any regard for him at all."

Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e had just walked to the door of Xueru Silk Shop when a roaring male voice from inside attracted the couple's attention.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Lin Dong pushed it gently, but it didn't open.

At this time, another female voice sounded, "Xue Ru, Auntie begs you. No matter what, you and Mu Sheng are cousins, and his father is your father's eldest brother. Can you really watch him die of illness?

"Let's not talk about whether they are sick or not, and don't try to be relatives."

"Have you forgotten that when I was fifteen, we separated and all the businesses in Fangshan County were given to your family?"

"We haven't been in touch for more than ten years, and now you want to borrow 500 yuan when we meet, and you can't give me a penny less. Are you a robber?"

"Chen Musheng, let me tell you, if you don't want to be shot, open the door right now."

There was a tremor in Chen Xueru's voice, and it seemed that she was very angry.

"Go away, get out of here, and don't bully my mother..."

It was the voice of a child, with a heavy nasal tone, as if the child had a cold or had been crying.

"Good boy, Kui'er, go back to the backyard first. Your mother is here!"

"No, I want to protect my mother. If anyone dares to bully her, I will stab him with a pair of big scissors."

Lou Xiao'e winked at Lin Dong, asking whether he should intervene or not.

Lin Dong was still a little confused! Is there this plot in the Little Woman Under Zhengyang Gate? Does Chen Xueru have an uncle?

What Lin Dong didn’t know was that if it weren’t for him, Chen Xueru would have married Fan Jinyou in 1955.

Later, Fan Jinyou became a cadre, so naturally no one dared to take advantage of him.

Now? Chen Xueru only has a son who just turned ten years old, which is not enough to support the family.

Just when Lin Dong was daydreaming,

"Xue Ru, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but look at how thin your cousin has become. The three children at home have no food to eat."

"Now your uncle is sick again. The doctor said he must take supplementary nutrition and rest."

"If I really couldn't make ends meet, I wouldn't have lost my dignity and come to you for help."

"Don't worry, just treat this money as a loan. I will definitely pay you back when my family is well-off."

"Yes, yes, sister, I'll borrow this money and I'll pay you back when I have money."

Perhaps Chen Xueru's words about being shot scared Chen Musheng, and his tone softened a lot.

"Borrow? Chen Musheng, regardless of whether I have so much money, what are you going to pay back with?"

"Don't think I don't know that all the dozen or so shops that Grandpa gave to your family have been sold out!"

"Walking chickens and playing with dogs, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, Chen Musheng, a mountain of gold can't stop you from squandering money like this."

"How can these two big brothers still be your brothers? Are they afraid that you will run away and are following you to collect the debt?"

"Chen Musheng, I don't want to talk to you anymore, so I just want to ask you whether you want to leave or not?"

"Creak!" The shop door opened, and Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e walked into the house with curiosity.

"Sister Xueru, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Where are the other people in your store?"

Chen Xueru didn't say anything and showed a surprised expression.

The other people in the room didn't say anything, and they all subconsciously looked towards the door bolt.

The bolt was not broken and there were no signs of it having been turned, as if they had never been there before.

Now that everyone has entered the house, they no longer dwell on this issue and their eyes turn to Lin Dong and his wife.

The two people who had been silent took two steps back, but Chen Musheng took a step towards Lin Dong and said, "Who are you? We are closed today. Please come back another day."

"Chen Musheng, get out of here. You have no right to speak here."

"Mr. Lin, Sister Xiao'e, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Oh, what about the people from the government? They don't care either?" - Lin Dong was really curious, so he asked.

The main thing is that he didn't take people like Chen Musheng seriously.

Chen Xueru smiled bitterly, "Recently, this lady has been coming to the store crying all day long."

"They just keep complaining back and forth, which makes it difficult for business to continue."

"In the afternoon, this lady came again. I thought we should make things clear today and solve them quickly. They had some things that were difficult to say, so I let them rest for half a day."

"I didn't expect that as soon as the people in the store left, the three of them came over and closed the door for me."
