On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled

Chapter 49: How can it be considered stealing when it is something that scholars do?

Shi Shuang: “???”

Xie Ningzi's tears fell even more. She bit her lower lip tightly and suppressed her fear: "I will listen to you. I will go to receive the guests."

"Puchi." Shi Shuang couldn't help laughing. She realized what the problem was. She picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "You think too much. I asked you to receive guests, but... but go to the grain store to sell rice! Not sell yourself!"

Gardenia walked up to her and explained.

"The lady has rented a grain store and plans to sell grain. She is short of manpower and needs your help."

"I thought..." Xie Ningzi burst into laughter. She said embarrassedly, "My father said he would sell me to a brothel before, and I had a trauma. Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Shi Shuang shook her head and smiled gently.

"I won't sell you out. Don't worry, stay here. I'll provide you with food and shelter."

Sometimes, she would be overwhelmed with sympathy, but she had one good thing: she would give this heart to those who deserve to be saved.

It’s okay to have sympathy.

But give it to those who need sympathy more.

Gardenia clenched her fist and said, "How can there be such a father in the world!"

Xie Ningzi followed behind her sister-in-law and smiled bitterly when she heard this. "I have a low status in the family. That day, my father thought he could sell me off, so he treated me very well and gave me a bowl of rice porridge. I counted it and there were ten grains of rice in total, nine more than usual. It was really fragrant."

Ten grains? Nine grains? Just one grain of rice?

Shi Shuang's eyes darkened slightly, "Then how did you convince him not to go to the brothel?"

"I didn't convince him." Xie Ningzi looked painful, with a struggling look in her eyes. "My father took me to the brothel, and the man said he would only give me a bag of food. My father didn't want to go and wanted to raise the price, so he took me back first."

She smiled bitterly.

Shi Shuang patted her on the back and said, "Since you are already mine, it is better than staying in a brothel. Just stay here. I want to tell you that even if your father comes to find you, you can't listen to him, understand?"

"Yeah! I know who is right with me. Take care, sister-in-law." Xie Ningzi nodded. She knew it clearly.

She is timid, but her only advantage is that she knows how to judge the situation.

After they walked away, Gardenia whispered, "She is so pitiful. The reason she was not sold to a brothel is not because the bad guys have come to their senses, but because they want to get more rewards."

She thought it was the second young lady who had awakened the last bit of fatherly love.

There was a hint of anger in Shi Shuang's tone, "That's a scumbag."

The moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds and cast its soft light on the entire earth.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already dark.

Shi Shuang stretched out, lay on the bed, and asked, "Tomorrow, the grain shop will open, will you go?"

"I won't go." Xie Wei said, "I promised the doctor that I will continue training tomorrow."

He clenched it slightly.

I have to get better soon and stand by Ah Shuang's side. The pinnacle of power is very tempting. For the sake of the people and my loved ones, I have to hold it tightly in my hands.

The next day.

The original cloth shop became a grain store, and the plaque was also very casual, with only two simple words handwritten with a brush.

"Righteous grain".

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

However, Shi Shuang felt that when she was doing business, she should make money when it was time to make money. When the world was in trouble and the people were suffering, she should be loyal, so she became a charity grain collector.

Lan Tian was also very happy when she saw so many people queuing outside. "I wonder how much money the boss will give?"

Boom boom boom!

The back door rang and she hurried to open it.

Shi Shuang asked: "Is everything ready?"

Lan Tian attracted a man and she explained.

"Boss, get ready. This is Fang Ren, the county official. He is also my man. However, he knows everyone in the town. You said that everyone should limit their purchases, so I took the initiative and brought him here."

Fang Ren clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Master."

"You're welcome. You did a great job." Shi Shuang praised generously.

Subsequently.

Lantian held the wooden sign in his hand expectantly and handed over the colored stone, "Boss, please announce the price."

It is engraved with today's food prices, rice? Noodles?

Shi Shuang picked it up and wrote a horizontal line after the word "米".

Lantian spoke up, nervously saying, "By the way, Boss, the food prices at the shop across the street have dropped today. You, you must consider this."

"How many?"

"Five ounces of flour, six ounces of rice."

If it is more than five or six taels, or the price is the same, people will not buy it and will continue to buy from the shop opposite. It is better to be an old customer than a new customer.

Hearing this, Shi Shuang smiled lightly. She just opened a shop and the price had already been reduced by half. Then once she announced the price, wouldn't the effect be obvious?

"The unscrupulous businessmen's behavior of cutting leeks ends here!"

She picked up a pen and wrote the price on the wooden sign.

Everyone came forward curiously. Fang Ren took a deep breath, clasped his fists, bowed deeply, and said with red eyes.

"The righteousness of the Dong family!"

In the government, there is intrigue and deception everywhere. If you don't serve wholeheartedly or say something inappropriate, you may lose your head accidentally. In addition, business has been bad in recent years, and everyone is greedy for small profits.

It was so serious that he refused to give up even a grain of rice.

Lan Tian covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Three hundred coins for a bag of rice, and two hundred coins for a bag of flour? This is not more expensive than before. Did you write it wrong? It was ten taels of silver at the grain shop across the street."

She hadn't seen such a cheap price for a long time.

A bag of rice weighs thirty kilograms, enough for a family to eat for more than ten days.

Shi Shuang chuckled and said, "That's indeed the price."

Even so, she made a profit.

After all, the grain came from the Shi family and the Gao family. If it was sold out, she would go to the mansion to steal... Ah, no, be more gentle. How can it be considered stealing as a scholar's business?

This is the principle: take from the people and use it for the people.

Lan Tian excitedly took out a tael of silver and said, "Can my husband and I each have a bag?"

"Of course." Shi Shuang gestured for her to take two bags and also gave her some change.

Lan Tian hurriedly patted Fang Ren on the shoulder.

She said excitedly: "Quick, put the two bags of rice in the kitchen and lock them up!"

opposite.

The waiter took out a recliner, crossed his legs, and said lazily, "Hey, don't wait any longer, come to our store and buy it. It's been so long, you must be scared. Think about it, it was ten taels before, but it's only five taels today, you've made a profit."

"This..." Someone hesitated and slowly walked up the stairs.

In the past, ten taels could buy one bag, but now I can buy two bags. I am really lucky. A few days ago, news came from other towns that a bag of rice has been sold for thirty taels.

Suddenly, the person at the top of the line shouted.

"They're out. They're out. It's Madam Lan and Brother Fang."

The couple's character is well-known in all walks of life.

Fang Ren sat aside and said, "The boss doesn't like to see people. My husband and I are here to sell grain. The rule is that each person can only buy one bag within seven days. This is a list borrowed from the government. We are old acquaintances. Don't pretend to come and buy a second time, otherwise you will be added to the black list."

Black egg?

"What are black eggs?" someone asked in confusion.

Lan Tian coughed lightly and said, "That's right. If a person has no credibility, the boss will not sell him food in the future."

"understand."

"Can we start selling now? Boss Lan, what's your price?"

The waiter held up a wooden sign and shouted, "Today's rice and noodles are on sale. First come, first served. Only 100 bags! The price will go up tomorrow, 15 taels a bag!"
