Chapter 14 Is this a money grab?
They were all refugees who had just fled famine. The fact that they were able to find food by bandits showed that they were not at the end of their rope yet.
Reason remains.
Use the remaining money to buy back food and continue to escape the famine to survive, or be stabbed by a nun and vomit blood to death. What should you choose?
Everyone ran to buy food without hesitation.
Soon, food turned into money.
The two bandits used a small wooden box to collect money from selling grain. Hua Xiaonian jumped up to the tree next to them and watched intently.
As soon as the food was sold out, she jumped down immediately.
Without giving the two bandits a chance to count how much money they earned together, they quickly picked up the wooden box and walked away.
There were many refugees watching around, but the little nun did not count the money on the spot, but poured it all into the small cloth bag in front of her.
Wealth cannot be exposed!
The two bandits looked at it dumbfounded.
They remembered that there was a lot of money in the wooden box, so how did the little ancestor's cloth bag hold so much money and still remain flat?
Hua Xiaonian didn't know what they were thinking. She had to ask Donor Li when the money for moving her three bags of grain would be paid.
Li was stunned when asked.
It took her a long time to understand what Hua Xiaonian meant.
It seemed that this girl was also angry that her mother-in-law didn't pay the toll, so she started a new round of hairdressing with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Nian, what are you talking about?"
"We are all family members. We don't care whether we buy or not. Look, it's noon. Are you all hungry?"
"Auntie will cook for you right now."
Li is not only good at talking, but also good at observing people.
The day the little nun came back, she realized that this girl was not easy to talk to, so it was best to leave quickly now!
Hua Xiaonian hasn't confiscated the money yet, how can she be allowed to leave?
She did not stop the person herself, but turned to look at the two bandit donors next to her, and said in a very apologetic manner:
"I can't untie the silver needles of those donors until the food is sold out."
Two bandits...
What can they do?
He quickly ran to snatch back the three bags of grain in front of Mr. Li, and said angrily, "You want to die if you take the grain without giving me money, right?"
After saying that, he pushed Ms. Li aside.
Mrs. Li is as obedient as a cat in front of her mother-in-law and husband, but she is fierce in front of outsiders.
Although the two bandits looked fierce, she had seen how they knelt down and begged Hua Xiaonian to let them go!
They are just two paper tigers.
Besides, she just said that she was Hua Xiaonian's aunt.
They certainly wouldn't dare do anything to her!
Li's momentum was immediately fired up, and she imitated the way Old Mrs. Hua pinched her waist when she was being aggressive, and responded to the two bandits.
"Keep your eyes open and see clearly. This is my niece's food. I am her aunt. What happened to the bag of food?"
"If you are sensible, get out of here and don't delay me from making lunch for my sister-in-law and nieces!"
The two bandits were almost fooled by her.
Thinking of Hua Xiaonian's words, it was obvious that they were asked to collect cash, and she sneered coldly and pushed Li away again.
"I don't care who you are. If you have money, I'll give you food. If you don't have money, just fuck off. Don't delay me from selling food here!"
As he spoke, he also pulled out the big knife behind him.
Li Shi was so tough just now, but now she was scared when she saw the big sword, and she quickly backed away and ran towards Mrs. Hua.
She wanted to ask Hua Jikuan and Mrs. Hua for help.
Before she could think of it, these two people were more cowardly than her and had already hid far away from the crowd.
When the two bandits saw her running away, they thought they could sell the three bags of grain quickly so that they could leave, so they started selling again with howling voices.
The sound was so loud that both Li and Hua Jikuan broke into sweat.
"Mom, there are only three bags of food left. If we don't buy them back quickly, we will really go hungry. Please get the money quickly!"
Hua Jikuan is a mommy’s boy!
If it weren't for Mrs. Hua, he wouldn't have dared to point at Mr. Wen's nose and scold him before, and he was scared by Hua Xiaonian's snake last night.
Now he doesn't dare to offend Hua Xiaonian anymore.
Seeing that the food was running out, he quickly urged Mrs. Hua to buy it back quickly!
Mrs. Hua did not dare to offend Hua Xiaonian easily, so she could only reluctantly take out a purse from her arms, gritted her teeth and took out 50 copper coins.
Throwing it to Mr. Li, he cursed, "What a useless thing. Go quickly. If you can't buy it back, I'll beat you to death!"
She just got angry out of nowhere!
Li knew it but didn't dare to refute, and hurriedly took the money and went back to buy food.
Fortunately, all the refugees nearby had bought food, and no one was competing with her to buy it in the space she left.
But when she gave 50 copper coins to the two bandits...
But people didn't buy it anymore, "Just now it was 50 copper coins, now it's 200 copper coins!"
Good guy, this has doubled on the spot!
Not to mention two bags of rice and noodles, even pork can't rise so fast, right?
Li felt that she must have heard wrong. They said 20 copper coins, not 200 copper coins, right?
She just wanted to ask again...
The two bandits knew what she was going to say when they saw her, and they were the first to repeat what they had just said about asking for 200 copper coins.
In fact, they don't want so many.
In fact, when Li went to ask for money, the little ancestor asked them, "Can I use the money from the two bags of grain to exchange for an ox cart with you?"
You don't know how nice her tone of voice is when she asks!
I don't know, but I really thought she was the kind of person who would discuss things with you carefully and give up if you didn't agree with her.
What about the facts?
Her bright, naked eyes clearly said, "If you don't want to, I can't let go of those donors."
They really want MMP!
Do you know how much it costs to buy a cow, in exchange for two bags of grain?
They really don’t want to change!
But they dare not resist, so they can only increase the price of food, even if they can get back half of the cost!
Mr. Li was hit with 200 copper coins!
Even though the two bandits still had big knives in their hands, she still had to ask, "Wasn't it 50 copper coins just now? Why did it suddenly become 200 coins?"
"Aren't you trying to steal money?"
The two bandits were quite reasonable. If they hadn't seen Mrs. Li in rags, she wouldn't have looked like a rich man!
They want more than 200 copper coins?!
Hearing that she was talking nonsense again, the two of them immediately picked up their swords in displeasure and yelled, "If you continue to mess around, I'll get 300 copper coins!"
Li...
She was once again frightened away by the swords of the two big men. She wanted to go back to Mrs. Hua to ask for money, but suddenly she remembered that the food belonged to Hua Xiaonian...
She felt that this matter must have something to do with Hua Xiaonian. Maybe she was the one who asked the two bandits to raise the price on the spot.
Angrily, Li ran to Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Li almost couldn't help but want to get angry at Mrs. Wen, but she thought that she still had to buy food.
People in the world are soft-spoken rather than tough-minded!
She could only lick her smile and angrily discuss with Mrs. Wen, "Sister-in-law, you think Xiaonian is making things difficult for me."
"It's not like you don't know what kind of temper our mother is. I finally asked her for 50 copper coins to buy food. If the price goes up..."
"Not to mention whether our family has that much money, even if my mother heard about this price, she would probably explode!"
"With her temper, she will definitely come to make trouble for you again!"
"Sister-in-law, think about it carefully. We are a family. We still have a long way to escape from famine in the future. To make my mother angry for such a small amount of food..."
"It's not worth it!"
"Sister-in-law, you said that, right?"
