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

Facing those pairs of expectant eyes, Yao Shu suddenly understood the village chief's silence just now, and she didn't know how to face the crowd.

They left with a lot of money and brought back only a faint hope. It was really difficult for her to tell the result.

Although in her opinion, it was good to get the news.

Just when Yao Shu was ready to speak, a voice came from the side.

"I can't help you, or I can't help the capital. I have found out the news. I will ask later."

Even if he has nothing now, the village chief is still going to find the buyer and give it a try. At the worst, he will ask the other party to make conditions. If it can be done, everyone will work together to find a way to try their best.

If it really doesn't work out, forget it, just do your best to obey fate.

"How could this be?"

"Then have all our money been spent? There's not even any movement."

"How can they just collect money and do nothing..."

Everyone in Dahe Village was naturally extremely unhappy. They were looking forward to entering the city, but now they couldn't catch anything.

But they also knew that the village chief could not be blamed for this matter. In the final analysis, the government was too abominable. They complained a few times but said nothing, and walked back dejectedly to wait.

Yao Shu looked at the villagers who were becoming more and more numb, and felt uncomfortable in her heart. What kind of world is this?

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the Shen family no longer dared to ask about the silver. They just felt it was a pity. If they had known this would be the result, they might as well have kept some secretly.

"Sister-in-law, when are we going to find the purchaser?"

The village chief was a little anxious. He wanted to give everyone an explanation quickly.

"They usually wait until evening before returning to the city from outside. We will wait."

Yao Shu was also very urgent. She had to try the news as soon as possible after finally finding out the news. Only by entering the city and leaving early could they get out of danger.

They didn't know any of the purchasers at the county magistrate's house, and they didn't know where they had gone. They could only wait and wait at the gate of the city.

And while they were discussing things, someone came over.

"village head."

"what happened?"

Seeing that the other party was hesitant and uncomfortable speaking, the village chief got up and followed the other party to the side to talk.

This matter had nothing to do with her. Yao Shu had no intention of asking about it, but the man looked a little strange just now. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He looked like he was sick.

I don’t know if she was dazzled by it, but she always felt that the other person’s face was a little swollen. Everyone had been fleeing for a long time, and they didn’t have enough to eat or wear. They were all skinny and their cheeks were sunken.

The people in Dahe Village were no exception. The person she looked at just now had a round face. This was very strange. How could a person get fat without enough food?

The more Yao Shu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Could it be that she was sick?

She was still a little worried, would the disease be contagious?

Don't blame her for being selfish. If she contracts any strange disease at this time, it will be really fatal.

Just as she was thinking about it, the village chief came back. She looked at the poor expression on the village chief's face and felt very worried. Could it be what she had guessed?

When she thought of this, Yao Shu's expression became solemn, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

Seeing her like this, the village chief who was about to speak was speechless for a moment. Could it be that Yao Shu had already guessed something?

But I still have to say that the village chief really has no choice but to give it a try. Who makes everyone's situation worse?

"sister in law."

"Ah."

Yao Shu subconsciously took a small step back.

"Do you still have any salt at home? Can you spread it out first? Everyone is willing to give something in exchange."

In the past, the village chief would not have dared to think about this matter. If he wanted to get something from the Shen family, it would be impossible. They had always been the only ones who blackmailed people. If there was no other way this time, he would I won't open this mouth either.

"Salt?"

Yao Shu was a little confused. What was the reason? In her impression, salt was not a rare item. You could buy a big bag of it for a little money, so she didn't understand why the village chief cared so much about it.

Seeing that she had no intention of nodding, the village chief thought that Yao Shu was unwilling, so he immediately persuaded her earnestly.

"You are also from Dahe Village. If you can help everyone at the critical moment, everyone will appreciate your kindness. Another thing, don't worry, your family will not suffer. I won't take your things in vain. It's really not worth it. There’s a way, people can’t walk without salt, they all have no strength...”

If he didn't really have any other options, he wouldn't have said this.

At this time, Yao Shu finally realized that without salt, everyone's body would have problems. She had never paid attention to this matter, so she was so confused.

Things that seemed very ordinary before are now related to everyone's lives.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask."

Yao Shu didn't know how much salt was left at home, so she was afraid it wouldn't be much better. After she went to check, it was indeed what she had guessed.

"Mom, we don't have much salt at home."

Shen Qiu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, was not very happy to take out the salt. She had to go into the city to buy salt. They were still stuck outside and had no way to buy salt. Naturally, they had to save the only thing left. Click to use.

If we are afraid that we don’t have enough, how can we be willing to give it to others?

"Spread it out a little first, and you'll get some salt later."

Yao Shu is very confident about this matter.

Even if she couldn't enter the city, it wouldn't be too difficult to get salt. Not to mention others, it was possible to pay the guards at the city gate to do this, but it was more risky.

Salt is not allowed to be sold privately, and even if you ask officers and soldiers to buy it on your behalf, you are afraid of causing misunderstandings.

She is very confident about going to the city. As long as she meets someone from the county magistrate who goes out of the city to purchase, she is not afraid that the other person will not be attracted.

Yao Shu's words were almost like an imperial edict in the Shen family. No one dared to refute, so Zhao could only hand over the salt as she said.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much."

The village chief was very grateful. This was really life-saving salt.

"We all come from the same village. It's right for everyone to help each other. It was also thanks to everyone for taking care of our family in the past."

This is why Yao Shu is willing to help.

The Shen family has been blackmailing a lot of people. If you really want to count them out, they owe a lot to the people in the village. Now that there is a chance to pay some karma, she is extremely willing.

Besides, she couldn't really watch her fellow villagers fall down one by one.

After this experience, everyone became more and more grateful to Yao Shu, and the previous impression of the Shen family as a scoundrel was also washed away a lot.
