As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!
Chapter 48 It's always better to be prepared
When Chen Qiqi saw them coming, she called out "Third Brother" and "Third Sister-in-law" in a listless voice.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Chen's father.
"Mom, there's nothing to do at home today, so I want to take Yunzhu to the town for a walk. I was in a hurry when I came back last time and didn't have time to buy some things for her." Chen Yan said.
He was afraid that Zheng would have a problem with Yunzhu, so he added, "My wife is good at embroidery. She used to secretly make embroidery at home and sell it in town, and she saved some money. I have no money now, so she wants to use her own private money to buy something."
Cui Yunzhu: Hmm? I don’t know.
She nodded as if in acknowledgment.
"That's as you should do. Yunzhu didn't bring anything here, so she's short of some things. Go ahead. If the money isn't enough, I'll give you some more."
Chen Yan shook his head: "No need, mother. My family has already spent a lot of money on my marriage. It was the same when my eldest brother and second brother got married. The three brothers spent the same amount, so there won't be any disputes."
He stopped there and didn't go on to talk about the silver.
"There is just one thing I still feel I need to tell you."
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this, Zheng put down the needle and thread in her hand and prepared to listen to her youngest son seriously.
"It's about food." His voice suddenly lowered, and Cui Yunzhu's heart tightened.
"Yesterday afternoon I went to Erzhuzi's home. As you know, he has a sister who married and moved to the north a few years ago. The two places are far apart and she can't come back often, but she still sends people to bring letters from time to time."
"Isn't it normal to bring a letter? Is there going to be a war in the north?"
Zheng was puzzled. If the letter brought by Erzhuzi's sister was about food, she could only think of war.
"The letter said that some villages in the north have already shown signs of drought. The rivers have started to dry up, and the harvests have also started to decrease."
"Some people have already started hoarding food in large quantities. Although it is only in a few villages, his sister is still worried that it will spread to our area, so she reminded him."
"I was thinking, since our family doesn't need much money this year, why don't we just not sell the grain we harvested this year? I originally wanted to tell my father about this, but I'm afraid he won't be able to listen to me now. I can only tell you first."
After hearing this, Zheng shook her head with some worry: "Your father is like this. Even if I go to talk to him now, he may not listen. He is now possessed by a demon."
"He just wants people to admit their mistakes. How can he listen to you? But the harvest is good this year, and there is no sign of the river drying up. Could it be a mistake? Didn't they say it was just a few villages?"
Chen Yan's face was solemn: "I also hope that I am wrong, but it is always better to be prepared."
The third child was not the kind of kid who would stir up trouble without any reason, and Zheng was a little scared after hearing what he said.
She had never seen a drought in her life. As a farmer all her life, her biggest fear was having no harvest and having her fields abandoned.
If what the third brother said is true, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos...
Zheng glanced at Chen Qiqi's messy stitches and felt a little upset.
"Well, wait a few days before talking about it. Now that you brothers are quarreling like this, and no one is helping your father to go to town to sell grain, he won't sell it for the time being."
Chen Yan nodded and went out with Cui Yunzhu.
Zheng looked at her youngest son's back and felt very emotional.
The child was very precocious. At a young age he went up the mountain to hunt to supplement the family income. In fact, his contribution to the family was greater than that of his two older brothers.
But now I have a grudge with my family because of this. Oh, how could it become like this?
Zheng was in great distress. She reached out and patted the sleepy Chen Qiqi beside her, saying in a serious tone, "Why are you still sleeping? Get up and study!"
Ugh......
Life is not easy, Chen Qiqi sighed...
As usual, the two of them walked from Yulin Village to the official road leading to the town to try to catch a passing ox cart. Soon they finally got one, and the fare was still three cents per person.
The difference was that this time the car was much quieter. There was no one else except them. The two of them leaned against each other. After about an hour, the car stopped in the town.
The two got off the car and took a look. Oh, isn’t this the place where they got off last time?
It seems that these drivers like to park in the same place.
Now that she was here, Cui Yunzhu thought about the delicious buns she had eaten at the bun shop last time. She had just traveled for an hour and had digested some of her breakfast food.
She was about to buy some buns when suddenly a cloth bag was stuffed into her hand. When she opened it, she saw six taels of silver in it.
She was a little surprised, and looked at Chen Yan with her round almond-shaped eyes, like a little deer.
You look like you went to rob yesterday.
Chen Yan confessed, "I forgot to tell you because you made such a fuss last night. This is the trap that Er Zhuzi and I set in the mountains last time. We caught a lot of prey. He took out the money he earned from buying from the restaurant and gave it to me."
"I just happened to take the silver back from him yesterday. Now we have money again, you can buy whatever you want."
"You can get six taels of silver just by setting a trap!"
Cui Yunzhu knew that Chen Yan could earn a lot of money by hunting in the mountains, but she didn't expect to earn so much in one go.
"It's not random. We went deep into the mountains and set up a lot of traps. It just so happened that the prey this time were all fat, so we sold them for a good price. And I contributed the most, so naturally I got a bigger share."
He put one hand around Cui Yunzhu's shoulders to prevent passers-by from bumping into her, and continued: "The main reason was that I was thinking about getting married soon, so I had to save more money for you."
Cui Yunzhu threatened him: "The mountains are dangerous. Don't go in there unless it is necessary. Do you hear me?"
"My wife is right!" the man said in support.
She smiled and said, "I just heard you say that I make money by embroidery, and I didn't react."
"Hehe, that's just bullshit. Don't worry, I'll go earn more money when you run out of money, wife. Although I can't give you a rich and luxurious life, you can't live without my wife to have enough food, clothes, makeup and flowers."
"I don't want to wear flowers..." The two of them bickered all the way to the bun shop.
The steaming hot air was seeping out from the bun shop, and there were other people queuing up to buy buns.
When they were almost there, the boss had a good memory. Seeing the two of them, he greeted them warmly: "Hello, guests. Are our buns delicious? You two are our repeat customers today."
"Yes, boss, your buns are good, affordable and delicious." Cui Yunzhu said.
"What would you like today, sir?"
"Same as last time, three meat dishes and three vegetarian ones."
"Okay, that's twelve cents!"
After buying the buns, the two of them strolled all the way to the grain store. There was a special section in the grain store that sold seeds, and Cui Yunzhu came here.
