Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum
Chapter 80 Villagers Buying Food
"You guys are getting rich!"
Li Chunhua, who always loves to join in the fun, would never miss such an occasion. When she saw Jiang Jiang, who had been away for a few days, actually driving back in an ox cart, she was extremely envious.
She was seen touching the cow's back and mumbling something.
"Sister Jiang Jiang, you bought a good cow. It's strong and powerful. It will be much easier for Li Xu and his team to plow the land next year."
Jiang Jiang knew her very well, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, as long as you need it, just ask, we are all from the same village, it's not a big deal to borrow a cow."
Li Chunhua laughed when she heard that. It turned out that Jiang Jiang was a very frank girl.
After looking at the cows, many people turned their eyes to the food on Jiang Jiang’s ox cart.
"I just sold some grain a while ago, why are you buying so much again?"
Seeing someone muttering, Jiang Jiang was sure that this was what they were waiting for.
"This ox cart was given to me by my relative. He is rich and he saw that we farmers work hard in the soil all day long. With this ox, it will be much easier to plow the land."
As he spoke, Jiang Jiang gently stroked the yellow cattle that he had just bought in the town for six taels of silver.
Liang Xiaohua, who had always been somewhat jealous of Jiang Jiang, could no longer bear it and said sourly, "This cow is probably worth five or six taels of silver. Our family can't save that much even after saving for several years. Even though you are rich, you don't seem to be willing to help us."
After these words were spoken, the mentality of some villagers who were originally just watching the fun changed.
Everyone is poor and happy, so what's the big deal if you are the only one who becomes rich?
Jiang Jiang naturally knew that showing off one's wealth was not a good idea, but when he fled from famine, his family would definitely need an animal to pull heavy objects, and visiting his relatives would be a good excuse.
Secondly, Jiang Jiang also wanted to find a way to move this pile of food.
It might be dangerous for one family to have so much food, but what if everyone had it?
"You don't know what I'm doing. My relatives in our county have opened shops in the provincial capital next door. I went to take a look this time. Wow, I've never seen such a grand occasion in my life. I plan to send my children to school. At least through my relative's relationship, I can let them find a job in the county in the future. If they are capable, they can become accountants. I don't know how great it would be."
Jiang Jiang began to describe in vivid detail what he had seen and heard in the county, and everyone in the village listened attentively.
Yes, my children will have to rely on Jiang Jiang’s support in the future. Not to mention anything else, I can find a part-time job in the county during the slack season and save a lot of money.
"Sister Jiang Jiang, you must be thirsty after walking so far. My home is right at the entrance of the village. I'll go get you a glass of water."
"My little Hu and Dongliang are the best at playing together. Today they even insisted on playing with their brother Dongliang."
The endless good things people said made Liang Xiaohua even more angry. Obviously, both she and Jiang Jiang's husband died in the last fight between the two villages, but the lives of the two families were very different.
She envied Li Xu and Li Sheng's filial piety, Jiang Jiang's family's wealth, and the fact that she was the center of attention.
Now, Jiang Jiang actually has a wealthy relative who is willing to help her.
What good things happened to her!
Liang Xiaohua's teeth were almost broken.
But when she thought of her disappointing son, Liang Xiaohua could only force a smile.
"Don't forget my Goudan. He really likes his brothers Dongliang and Changyuan."
Jiang Jiang looked at Liang Xiaohua's distorted facial features and silently turned his head to the other side.
"Oh, by the way, I just sold all the food at home and have nothing to eat. It's just right that I came back from town and planned to buy some. Guess what?"
"The price of grain has dropped! Look, this white rice is only three cents a pound, and if it's in the shell, it's only two cents a pound. Flour is four cents a pound, and these coarse grains are one cent a pound!"
Jiang Jiang pointed at all the food on the ox cart.
"Last time, my family sold 100 kilograms of grain and earned 500 coins. I exchanged them for a full 500 kilograms of grain!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
If Jiang Jiang had simply said that the food was cheap and that he bought it cheaper, this effect would not have been achieved.
But if Jiang Jiang told the villagers that the batch of grain sold previously could now be exchanged for five times as much grain, he guaranteed that everyone would be tempted.
For farmers, nothing is more reassuring than food.
Even if they didn't exchange all their money for food, they would buy some and save it. Plus the food they had left over from before, they would still have a lot left.
Perhaps the ratio of one for five was too tempting. Everyone present was tempted and asked Jiang Jiang where he bought the food.
Jiang Jiang took the time to explain to everyone.
"We farmers can have a lot of food left over from eating coarse grains. Look, except for a bag of rice and a bag of flour left for our grandchildren, the adults in our family only eat coarse grains."
Everyone stuck their heads out and took a closer look. It was just as Jiang Jiang had said. Most of the food on the ox cart was coarse grains, and there were only one or two bags of precious fine grains.
All of a sudden, everyone felt much more balanced. Jiang Jiang's family's life was not much better than theirs. They still had to eat coarse grains.
Li Shuming was also in the crowd. He was a little more perceptive than the others. Not long ago, Jiang Jiang had been asking everyone to store more food. This time, he also bought a lot of food. He must have heard some news from her relatives.
Li Shuming still understood the principle of listening to advice and having enough food to eat.
He also echoed Jiang Jiang's point of view.
"As farmers, we don't need to worry as long as we have food in our hands. I also plan to buy some food. Although the temperature is much cooler now, it was too hot before, so I am not sure about the harvest this year."
Seeing what the village chief said, many villagers who were still hesitating and waiting expressed that they also wanted to buy some food.
After the fun, Jiang Jiang drove the ox cart and took the three children home.
Li Xu touched the sturdy yellow cow and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Mom, this cow will belong to our family from now on?"
Jiang Jiang smiled and nodded.
Li Laibao, the youngest in the family, pointed at the yellow ox and said happily: "Let's take the ox cart to the town."
Apparently, he still remembered the last time when the whole family rode a ox cart to the town to play. His childish voice made everyone laugh.
"By the way, Mom, you weren't here these few days, didn't you know that something big happened in our village!"
Jiang Jiang's originally smiling face immediately became serious.
"What happened?"
Li Sheng glanced at Li Cuicui, who had no expression on her face, and then said:
"Li Dafu has become rich, and now his family has moved to the town to live."
Li Dafu got rich?
Jiang Jiang didn't believe it at first, but she suddenly thought of the pair of eyes full of hatred and cruelty on the day she rescued Li Yaya from the river.
