As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Unlike Chen's father's joy which was beyond words, these words set off a storm in Cui Yunzhu's heart that took a long time to calm down.

It was clear that the famine would slowly unfold over half a year, how come it suddenly...

It’s only the beginning of spring and the price of food has started to rise. The price of one pound has increased by ten cents!

If this continues, what will happen to food prices in a few months?

She frowned unconsciously, and Zheng thought she was worried that Chen Fu might let something slip.

He stepped forward and comforted her, "Don't worry, Third Brother's wife, I will definitely keep an eye on your father and stop him from talking nonsense."

After saying that, she drove Chen's father into the main room, so that she wouldn't be bothered by him.

At the end, he seriously scolded him to shut up.

Father Chen was in a good mood and didn't care at all about his wife's attitude towards him.

He walked into the house with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands as he went in. That smile couldn't be hidden.

Cui Yunzhu had forgotten why she came here. She said hello to Zheng and walked back.

When Chen Yan got home, he saw his wife came back so quickly and couldn't help wondering, "Didn't you say you were going to see your second sister-in-law? Why are you here so soon?"

Cui Yunzhu finally came to her senses. She had long forgotten that she was going to look for Xiao Zheng.

“Food prices have gone up.”

"what?"

Her voice was soft and Chen Yan couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away, so he asked again.

“Food prices have gone up.”

"I just ran into your father at the old house. He said that someone in the village went to sell grain today, and the price of a pound of grain has increased by ten cents!"

The man put down his work and walked closer. When he heard the news, his expression was the same as Cui Yunzhu's just now, and he was a little unable to react for a moment.

"Isn't it until the end of the year..."

"I don't know either....."

Since her rebirth, unless she intentionally changed something, everything else has developed along the original trajectory.

There was nothing that went off track.

Except Fang Ruyu.

But after all, she is also a reborn person, so this is understandable.

But why did the sudden famine come early?

The increase in grain prices will only get bigger and bigger. People will definitely not notice it at the beginning, until the day when the grain price becomes comparable to that of gold.

The world is in complete chaos!

Chen Yan saw the uneasiness in her heart, walked forward and hugged her tightly, resting his chin on her soft hair, and patting her from behind with his hands.

"Don't be afraid. We are well prepared. No matter what happens, we can get through it safely."

"It's the second time."

"Just because it's not the first time, I have to be more confident."

Cui Yunzhu nodded, and her chaotic mood gradually calmed down.

.........

The village chief's house.

The village chief no longer has time to care about Miss Fang’s disappearance, so let her be.

Now he has something bigger to worry about.

Aunt Fat saw him sitting in the yard smoking a pipe and refusing to listen when she called him to eat, so she hurried over and slapped him in the face.

The village chief was so frightened that he fell off his stool and sat on the ground. "What are you doing?"

he yelled.

"What are you doing!"

Auntie Fat pointed at him with her hands on her hips, "I'm calling you to eat, you haven't heard me even after so many times!"

At the dinner table, Chen Jixiang also noticed that something was wrong with his father.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

The village chief hadn't put down his cigarette yet. He blew out a puff of smoke and said in a muffled voice, "Didn't your uncle Wang go to sell grain a few days ago? Alas..."

"That's what you said!"

Aunt Fat had something stuffed in her mouth. If she didn't know, she would have wanted to speak for him.

"You're so anxious!"

The village chief turned away and ignored her. He looked at Chen Jixiang and said, "He went to sell grain, and the price of one pound of grain increased by ten cents."

"This is a good thing. Why are you sighing? The increase in food prices means we can sell it at a higher price."

Aunt Fat interrupted.

"What do you know? The price of food has gone up, but if we sell all our food, will we be able to afford it when we run out of food in the future?"

After these words were spoken, both people at the dinner table were stunned.

"Today another family in the village went to sell food. Guess what?"

"Another two cents increase!"

"If this continues, will we eat grain or gold in the future?"

After a long silence, both of them realized that things were not simple.

.......

Originally thought it was just a sudden price increase, some villagers who didn't understand the situation were surprised and wanted to sell all the remaining food at home.

They were all stopped by the village chief.

The village chief even held a meeting in the village and asked everyone who had grain at home not to rush to sell it, which made many people in the village complain about him.

Cui Yunzhu listened to their words. Although she did not have the ability to save the situation, she could still help the villagers.

"Everyone, stop arguing. The village chief is doing this for everyone's good!"

She took a step forward and spoke to the crowd.

The old lady of the Chen family happened to be there. She glared at the granddaughter-in-law whom she had only met twice, "You are such a short-sighted person, do you really need to teach us?"

"You little girl, interrupting the conversation of our elders here, you are so uneducated!"

She spat on the ground, her eyes full of disgust.

Veins popped up on Chen Yan's forehead, and he wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by her.

"Yes, you are well-educated. You curse people without saying anything in just three or two sentences. You are very well-educated!"

"As for the fact that I have long hair but little knowledge, that's not true. After all, my hair isn't as long as yours, and my knowledge isn't as short as yours!"

She looked at Old Lady Chen with a smile on her face, not angered by her at all.

There was someone nearby covering her mouth and laughing. Old Mrs. Chen was so embarrassed that she wanted to hit her with her crutch. Cui Yunzhu dodged to the side, and the old lady almost sprained her waist.

Cui Yunzhu ignored her and continued to talk to the people who were discussing, "Everyone is just happy and says that the price of food has increased and they want to use the food to buy it."

She paused, "But have you ever thought about... In the past, when there was a good harvest, did the price of food also go up?"

After thinking about it carefully, we found that it seemed that there really wasn’t any!

"In previous years, if it was a good year with high grain production, the price of grain would not only not rise, but would actually fall."

Chen Yan reminded everyone from the side, and everyone was a little hesitant.

“What does rising food prices mean?”

"It means the demand is huge. If everyone sells the food they have, then the food will go to other people. If something goes wrong, how much will you have left?"

"It went up by 10 cents two days ago, and now it's gone up by 12 cents. What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Maybe 20 or 30 cents!"

she shouted.

When everyone heard this, they stopped discussing and looked up at her.

The village chief nodded with relief when he saw that she actually stood up and that this girl actually understood his worries.

The third son of the Chen family really found a treasure!

How come his kid didn't encounter this, tsk tsk tsk...

envious........

When she mentioned the price had risen to 30 cents, everyone started to get nervous.

"Everyone, ask yourselves, look at your own pockets, do you still have enough money to buy food?"
