Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

No matter how hard everyone struggled to give up, they finally went back with loads of vegetables. They entered the city not long ago and didn't sell many vegetables at all.

Today's harvest is really pitiful, especially compared to tomorrow, which is several taels of silver. No wonder everyone is reluctant to part with it.

Even if there were a few people who were unwilling to leave, they were finally coaxed out of the city by the village chief, who was half persuading and half threatening.

Along the way, everyone complained a lot.

"Aunt Yao, what's going on? Why did you let us go back without even doing business? Village chief, do you know why?"

"You'll know when you get back. Since my sister-in-law gave such an order, it must be something serious."

The village chief's brows had furrowed into the character "chuan", which showed that he was also upset. He couldn't guess what happened, but looking at his posture, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

He thought things had always been pessimistic, and at this time he was already thinking, wouldn't they be able to do the vegetable business in the future?

If this is the case, it will cut off their village's financial resources.

Don't let him know who caused the trouble, otherwise he will rush up and beat the person to death. He won't be able to calm down without beating him half to death.

"How much money will we lose?"

"How urgent is this matter? I can't even wait all morning..."

Hearing these comments, the village chief's face became increasingly ugly. He was already in a bad mood, and he heard everyone chattering in his ears, and it was understandable that he would become even more irritable.

"Shut up, everyone. If you are not afraid of bringing trouble to yourselves, go back to the city and continue selling vegetables. If something happens, don't blame us for not saving people."

Seeing what the village chief said was so serious, everyone still dared to say anything, so they all closed their mouths.

The villagers fell silent, and the atmosphere in the crowd was very solemn.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were going to the battlefield. Who would come home looking so bitter and resentful?

As for the Shen family, they had already returned to Dahezhuang. After bringing the news to the villagers, they left the city. Yao Shu was furious now. She did not want to face the people of Dahezhuang immediately, so as not to affect her judgment.

She had to take advantage of this time to think carefully and think about whether there was a better solution.

Who would ignore her instructions and lower the price secretly? Yao Shu could not figure out why the other party would do this.

Now is the best time for vegetables to sell. The price of fifteen cents per catty is not a worry at all. There is no benefit at all from lowering the price.

Yao Shu was puzzled by this, and finally had no choice but to give up. When she thought of the rapidly spreading vegetable prices of ten cents per pound, she had a severe headache, and she didn't know what to do to reverse the current situation.

If they left it alone, they would eventually be influenced by the rumor and have to lower their prices.

"Mom, the village chief and others are back and they have arrived at the entrance of the village."

Shen Qiu came over carefully to deliver the message. Seeing that there was no sound coming from above, he carefully raised his head and looked at Yao Shu's face. Looking at that serious face, he wanted to shrink into a corner and leave secretly.

"Let them wait in the ancestral hall."

"You still want to go to the ancestral hall?"

Shen Qiu suddenly looked up at Yao Shu, his eyes full of surprise. This time he was really frightened by Yao Shu's decision.

Although their Dahe Village is just an inconspicuous small village, even the ancestral hall is built together by several families. This is just because they have only been in Zhangzhou City for two years and have not yet made proper repairs.

But even so, the ancestral hall cannot be opened casually.

Except during festivals, or when someone made a big mistake, then the ancestral hall could be opened. After all this time, no one had committed a crime serious enough to go to the ancestral hall for interrogation, so Shen Qiu was frightened to death.

He knew that some people were selling vegetables at a cheaper price, but it wasn't as serious as this. He didn't kill people or set fires, and it wasn't even stealing.

Even Shen Qiu, the son, couldn't understand the seriousness of the matter, let alone others.

The other members of the Shen family also looked at Yao Shu, somewhat at a loss.

"Go if you are told to go. Why do you talk so much when I ask you to run an errand? Lao Wu, you go."

Shen Nanshan glared at Shen Qiu with disgust, and then began to order Shen Fugui.

Shen Fugui didn't have so many worries. Following Shen Qiu's example just now, he immediately set off to deliver the news. Anyway, he just did what his mother said.

Yao Shu asked Shen Fugui to call people to the ancestral hall, but she was not in a hurry. She sat in the room with the old god still there, and no one dared to come forward and disturb her.

At the end of the village, the people of Dahezhuang finally returned from the city. Before they could recover from the shock of being called back to the village, they received another bombshell.

As soon as they heard that an ancestral hall was going to be opened, everyone immediately went into a frenzy.

"What on earth is Sister-in-law Yao doing?"

"How can the ancestral hall be opened at her request? In such a short time, could the sky fall?"

"Village Chief, do you want to take care of it? We can't explain anything outside. We have to go to the ancestors."

"That's right, this is calling us back again, and we are not allowed to do business, and now we have to open an ancestral hall. It's not that I don't believe my sister-in-law, but the commotion is too big, and I haven't heard anything. Our village is going to It’s amazing…”

In just a short time, everyone was so excited that they kept talking noisily.

If Yao Shu had not always been dignified in the village, someone might have said unpleasant words.

If it were someone else who wanted to do something like this, they would have been scolded and lectured a long time ago. Nowadays, everyone is just reluctant.

At the same time, they were also very panicked. With such a commotion happening, they were naturally uneasy and scared. With this battle, it looked like they were in big trouble.

And in a corner of the crowd, there were people who were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Naturally, this person who had done something wrong was not frightened.

The village chief's head hurt from the messy noise. Although he was confused, he believed that Yao Shu must have a reason for doing this. As the village chief, he only needed to cooperate, but he could not hold back the other party.

"Quiet, what's the fuss about? We'll find out when we get to the ancestral hall. Don't let me know who among you has done something bad, otherwise it will be followed by the clan rules."

The village chief had some vague guesses. He couldn't guess what exactly happened, but it was easy to tell from Yao Shu's actions that someone in their village had committed a crime.

Otherwise, Yao Shu would not even say hello to him.
