Chapter 271

: Grab the water

Grandpa's eyes lit up, "Then tell me about my grandson-in-law. If he can agree, our villagers will help dig wells together."

After a pause, my grandfather said again, "The Guojiabao well, ten miles away, is dry. The villagers have no water to drink, so they go to grab the water from the nearby Wangjiabao. For this reason, the two people in the villages started fighting.

, many people were injured, and some people took the opportunity to go into the room and steal the life-saving food and money from several households in Wangjiabao."

"There is still this matter." Ye Youran's eyes were filled with a hint of worry, "Have you reported to the official?"

"I reported to the official, and the official arrested a lot of people, but those people were also poor villagers. They had no water to drink and were so thirsty that they were anxious to jump over the wall. However, the official arrested the official arrested them quickly. I heard that the yamen was also short of water.

, can't afford to raise prisoners."

Besides, those villagers did not commit much sin, they were all pitiful people who were forced to do nothing.

"I will send Wei Zijin a letter and ask him to send a few more people to Guojiabao to dig wells." Ye Youran said.

After a pause, she asked another thing, "Grandpa, not long ago, I sent someone to send you a bag of 50 kilograms of food, have you eaten it?"

Grandpa was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to mention this matter, but when his granddaughter asked, he couldn't hide it. "As soon as your man left, the bag of food was taken out by your aunt and sold it."

At this time, even if you have money, you can’t buy food. Even if you can buy food, the price is so high that ordinary people can’t afford it.

Xiao Cao sold that bag of grain for fifty taels of silver.

One tael of silver per pound of grain was a sky-high price, which made him confused for a moment and became greedy and did not take back the life-saving food.

He thought that with the fifty taels of silver, after the disaster passed, the family would be able to build a few large tiled houses and a few doormen, and there would be some remaining silver. It would be just right to book a marriage for Jinwa and marry him.

A granddaughter-in-law is back.

The idea was good, but after the food at home was gone, my grandfather tasted the feeling of scabbling his stomach.

That feeling, two words, is uncomfortable.

After being hungry for several meals and having lost all his energy, my grandfather regretted it. He also knew that in the year of disaster, food could be exchanged for silver, but the money could not be exchanged for life-saving food.

Life-saving food must not be sold no matter when.

"Sell it." Just think she helped her mother to give her pocket money to her grandparents. "But, grandpa, in the future, you have to pay close attention to the food. You can't let your aunt sell it anymore. This food is the food.

, hard-won."

"No, my grandfather regretted it before, but the food was eaten by someone. I went to ask for it, but I couldn't come back."

Ye Youran and his grandfather talked for a while, and it was not until noon that someone came to change to his grandfather's class, so his grandfather went home with Ye Youran.

But when several people walked to the door, they heard the noise in the yard.

"Mom, please go back to Yejia Village with me. Let's live together. I can take care of you two elders more, you..."

"Oh, sister-in-law, look at what you said, it seems like I have abused my parents-in-law. If you really want to respect your parents, then give them more food and meat to eat, that is really filial."

"Sister-in-law, this natural disaster is still there, and no one's family has much food. The small half bag of food I brought today was saved from Xiaoyou and I. There are a few kilograms of meat at home, and that's not mine.

, It was the wild game that the Wei family went up the mountain to cook. I also ate other people's family. Why do I have the nerve to take other people's meat here? Sister-in-law, we are all people with faces. I don't want to do that shameless thing."
