Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

what happened?

So suddenly?

If Jiang Jiang remembered correctly, Li Yaya was only fourteen years old and had not yet reached marriage age, while the old widower from the next door village was in his forties, which was considered a grandfather in that era.

"Where did you hear this news?" Jiang Jiang asked seriously.

"Just now I took Zhaodi and the others out for a walk, and the whole village heard about it."

That might be true.

No wonder Li Yaya didn’t come to their house at night, it turned out she was too busy to take care of herself.

Although Jiang Jiang had a bad impression of Li Yaya and thought she was not a friend worthy of Cuicui's association, he never thought she would end up in such a situation.

In ancient times, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers were like layers of shackles; once they fell on people, there was no way to escape.

"Mom, is there any way we can save her?" Li Cuicui looked at Jiang Jiang expectantly, hoping she could come up with a solution.

Jiang Jiang also shook her head helplessly. What else could she do?

This was in ancient times. Even if parents sold their children, it was considered natural and right.

"I can only ask the village chief first. After all, this is nominally a marriage, and Li Yaya is only fourteen years old, not yet of marriageable age. Calculating the date, it will take at least half a year, and there might be some changes."

Jiang Jiang analyzed calmly. It seemed that Li Yaya had not reached the worst situation yet. She was not sold as a slave. Half a year later, the once-in-a-century drought had arrived. It was still unknown what would happen.

"Yes! Find the village chief! This kind of thing hasn't happened in our village for many years. The village chief and the elders will definitely take care of it!" Li Cuicui wanted to find the village chief excitedly, but was stopped by Jiang Jiang who had no choice.

"Don't be impatient, kid. Think carefully. Should you go and find the village chief?"

"Besides, since the news has spread all over the village, someone must have gone looking for him. After all, it's not good for the reputation to spread out."

Jiang Jiang patiently persuaded Li Cuicui, who gradually calmed down and began to think along Jiang Jiang's lines.

In ancient times, reputation was more important than anything else. If the news of selling daughters in the village spread, many people from other villages would not dare to marry their daughters to their Daxi Village, and it would be difficult for the young men in the village to find a wife.

Li Cuicui was also a girl who was about to get married. She knew a little about these things. After thinking calmly, she said:

"That is to say, if our village wants to maintain its reputation, the village chief and the elders will definitely persuade Li Yaya's father, and we can't help much."

As she spoke, Li Cuicui lowered her head in disappointment. Her good friend was in trouble, but she could not help at all. This made Li Cuicui, who originally thought she could earn money and was a grown-up girl, feel powerless again.

Jiang Jiang stroked Li Cuicui's black hair soothingly. Not to mention Li Cuicui, even the village chief and the elders could not intervene directly. They could only persuade them. After all, this was someone else's family affair.

If Li Dafu was determined to sell his daughter in the name of marriage, the village chief and clan elders would be helpless.

"Go to sleep. I think the matter will have a result tomorrow. We have to go to town early tomorrow morning, so go to bed early."

Except for Li Cuicui who was a little worried, everyone else was obediently preparing to take a rest. The sweet water business makes money, but it is really tiring.

Although the adults in the family felt a little sad about Li Yaya's situation, they did not pay too much attention to it. After all, they had encountered this kind of thing more than once. If it was a time of famine, there would be countless people selling their children.

Everyone can only take care of their own business.

As for the children in the family, they had no idea what was going on.

Li Zhaodi, on the other hand, had always been precocious. She looked at Jiang Jiang with lingering fear, but then she put her heart back in her stomach. Her grandmother was not that kind of person, and she and her sister would not be sold.

Li Yaya’s incident was just an episode, and Jiang Jiang and the others got up early in the morning.

Seeing Li Cuicui still with dark circles under her eyes, Jiang Jiang sighed.

"Cui Cui, you should stay at home and rest today. Take good care of the children at home and don't let them go to play in the river."

"Mom, I can do it." Li Cuicui felt very guilty, but she was thinking about Yaya last night and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

"Let your elder brother and second brother go to the town with me today." Li Xu's injury was not serious and he was almost healed after two days of rest.

Taking care of the children at home these two days has exhausted him.

"Yes, sister, just rest at home. If you have anything to do, let Dongliang and the others do it. Laibao still has two sisters to take care of him."

So Li Cuicui was left behind to look after the house. She sat in the yard, looking around until she saw the village chief and several elders walk into Li Dafu's house.

Hoping for a good result, Li Cuicui clasped her hands together, not knowing which god she was praying to.

On the other side, Jiang Jiang and his friends who had arrived in the town started to get busy again. When they were carrying boiled sweet water, ice cubes and ice cream to the stall, they saw a small figure squatting there from a distance.

"Xiao Shitou, you're here so early?" Jiang Jiang greeted him with a smile.

Little Shitou nodded first, but then felt a little confused. He didn't seem to have told the kind aunt his name, so how did she know it?

Maybe someone told her.

Xiao Shitou didn't think much about it. He excitedly shared his story with Jiang Jiang.

"I went to see a doctor yesterday to treat grandpa. The doctor said that grandpa just had common wind-heat. He would get better after taking some medicine and having a good rest."

"That's really good." Jiang Jiang was also very happy. Xiao Shitou was not very old, and if his only relative also passed away due to illness, he would be very lonely.

"But, can I get an advance on my salary every day..." After saying this, Little Shitou's face turned red and he felt very embarrassed.

In this town, apart from the daily work of carrying bags, there is no daily payment, not to mention that he had received four days' wages in advance when he first arrived.

Jiang Jiang didn't care and agreed to Xiao Shitou's request with a smile. It was just a piece of cake.

"Just come and help me every day, and I'll pay your bill every day."

"I will!"

Little Shitou seemed to be energized. He was busy all over the stall like a hardworking little bee. He rushed to serve sweet water and wash the dishes. For a moment, the adults felt a little embarrassed.

It was Jiang Jiang who stopped Xiao Shitou from working so hard in time.

"Okay, okay, we don't provide meals here, so don't work so hard and leave the work for them."

As he spoke, Jiang Jiang reallocated tasks to everyone.

Starting today, they will have to assign one more person to deliver the goods to the homes of people in town who have ordered tubs of ice cream.

On the third day of opening, they achieved a daily turnover of over 20 taels of silver.
