The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Chapter 62: The price of livestock has increased

"Now is a special period. I work for your family, so you have to give me more food. Otherwise, you won't be able to harvest all the food and it will rot in the fields!" The villagers didn't expect that this lazy guy was not only lazy, but also so shameless!

"You lazy bastard, I let you work in my house because you were nice to me when your father was alive. If you don't want to go, just wait to die in this village." You shouldn't pay attention to this shameless person!

"Uncle Gen, Uncle Gen, don't be angry. I will go to work in your field tomorrow. Just treat what I said just now as nonsense!" When Lazy Meat saw that Uncle Gen was angry, he also said quickly. After all, he was the only person in the village who was willing to let him work.

"Get up early tomorrow morning and harvest a day's worth of food. You can give me 70% of it, and the rest will be for you and your mother to eat on the road!" Uncle Lao Gen's family has a lot of land. He wants to take care of Lazy Meat and his widowed mother because of their youth. Under normal circumstances, he would not do this unnecessarily! After all, this is a matter of life and death, so he should help if he can!

"Okay, if you have any detailed questions, you can come to my house. Time is very tight now, so let's hurry up and collect food! As for those lazy men and widows in the village, you have to find your own way out. Be diligent and don't think about those unnecessary things!" There are also widows in the village. Those who are diligent can support themselves, while those who are too lazy to make money by improper means have to find a way quickly. There will be a lot of food and supplies along the way, so they have to prepare them quickly.

In fact, what Village Chief Shi and the elders are most worried about are the lazy guys and hooligans in the village. The lazy guys are okay as they have no bad intentions. But the young people in the village who don’t learn well will have to go with them this time. They are difficult to discipline along the way. They usually hang out in the city, but this time they will go to Yundu City with them.

But think about it, with Shi Dalang watching over them, they dare not cause any trouble. Fortunately, it was Dalang again, otherwise the village chief would really have no backbone.

Today, Old Shi also came to the meeting. When he saw Shi Dalang standing in front of Shi Village and several elders, he looked very prestigious. Old Shi's eyes almost popped out! This is Dalang. Now he has forgotten all the kindness of their family. He looked at Shi Dalang several times, but Shi Dalang ignored him!

Some villagers rushed home as soon as they heard the meeting was over. Since they already knew the exact time and where they were going, of course they had to race against time to prepare!

Some women even said hello to their mother-in-law and went to their parents' home to deliver the letter. They wanted to stay together along the way and not get separated, so that they could take care of each other if they encountered danger.

Shi Donglai and his wife went to the city, and first went to the academy to pick up the two children.

"Mom and Dad, why are you two here?" Shi Xiyou and Shi Xiwang had packed their things and planned to go home today, but they didn't expect their parents to come. Today, the dean gathered them together and said that something was going to happen, so they should all go home and come back to study after the matter was over. They were still wondering what it was.

In fact, some classmates knew what was going on, but they were taken away by their families before they could discuss it.

"Our village is going to flee, so your parents are here to pick you up. Let's go quickly, there are still a lot of things to do at home!" Shi Donglai picked up his son's bag and carried it on his back.

"Dad, what did you say about going to Tang? What happened? Why does the whole village have to flee?" Shi Xiwang was also shocked by what his father said.

Shi Xiyou followed behind without saying anything. After all, his eldest brother had already asked his question.

"Haven't you noticed that there are a lot of refugees in the city these days? Now, not only our village has to flee, but several nearby villages also have to flee. We have to go home and talk about this slowly. We also have to buy a donkey cart or an ox cart. We have to go there quickly, otherwise we may not be able to buy it!" Shi Donglai briefly explained to his son!

"Hope is rare, this is true, you two should hurry and follow us, there are a lot of people in the city today, don't get lost in a hurry." Although the two children have been in this city for several years, the parents are afraid that their children will be in danger, because when the couple came to the city today, they found many disaster victims, and some people even robbed people on the street, which scared them a lot!

"Xiyou, you'd better follow closely. If you are squeezed away, your mother will eat your aunt when she gets home!" As she said that, the eldest daughter-in-law Li held Shi Xiyou's hand tightly!

Although Shi Xiyou is 12 years old, he will always be a child in the eyes of his elders. They are still family members and they don't think there is anything wrong with holding hands.

They went to the place where the livestock were sold and saw quite a few people already selecting the livestock.

"Boss, this is too expensive. This cow is so old, but it costs eight taels of silver. This is simply robbery!" A farmer who wanted to buy a cow was bargaining with the boss. Normally, no one wanted this old cow, but now it costs eight taels of silver. It is more expensive than a strong and mature cow!

"It's a very bad situation now. You're not at a loss for the eight taels of silver. If you don't buy it, someone else will buy it right away!" He was leaving after selling all the livestock he had! He was not afraid that he couldn't sell all the livestock. Everyone was going to flee. Who didn't want to take everything with them? It would be hard to push it by hand, so the livestock was in great demand!

"Forget it, forget it. Eight taels is eight taels. If it weren't for my old mother, I would rather die of exhaustion than spend these eight taels of silver. This is what I have saved for several years!" The man reluctantly took out eight taels of silver and walked away leading an old cow!

"Boss, how much is this donkey?" Shi Dong came to see a good mule because it has more endurance. But the price must be expensive!

"Mules are in short supply now. They cost twenty taels of silver! And we only have two of them." When Shi Donglai heard this, he gasped. It actually cost 20 taels of silver!

"Boss, you're really selling this mule too expensive. This mule is usually worth only 12 taels of silver, but you're asking for 20 taels of silver now. This is simply robbery!" The boss who sells livestock was surprised when he heard that another customer like this had come.

"You just saw that old ox, it still costs eight taels of silver, not to mention this strong mule. If you don't want to buy it, just go away and don't block my business!" He has no trouble selling this mule. Those who dare to accuse him of robbing money are really asking for trouble!

"Boss, don't be angry. My father's words were a bit unpleasant, but your price is indeed too high. I am studying at Qingshan Academy, and my family does not have extra money to support my studies. Boss, can you give me a little less?" The boss could not help but look up to the man who spoke politely and was wearing the robe of Qingshan Academy, even though he had not received much education, he still respected scholars in his heart.

"For your son's sake, I'll give you one tael less, otherwise not a tael less at all!" Although Shi Donglai thought 19 taels was too expensive, if it weren't for his son's face, he wouldn't have lowered the price by even one tael. He still had to study, and scholars always had face!

After this disaster is over, I will let my son continue his studies!
