Chapter 308 Complaining

   "That's right." Zhou Ying nodded, then paused and said, "By the way, in the past two days someone paid fifteen cents a pound to collect sweet potatoes in the village. Do you know who it is?"

   "With such a high price, isn't that rich man harvesting seeds?" Shopkeeper Liu asked thoughtfully.

   It seems that I have to send someone to inquire about it, if it is really just bought by the rich people, it will be fine.

   I was afraid that someone would do something wrong. In the end, the villagers could not eat, and it would be troublesome if they aimed their anger at the master.

   "I don't know, I also listened to it with such a good ear. There are really a lot of sellers in the village."

   "Isn't this digging one's own grave, that sweet potato is life-saving food." Chang Shun said with a look of astonishment.

   "Every family has their own calculations, we can't control it." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went around the cowshed and the sheepshed, and was relieved when she saw that the birth rate had dropped significantly.

   After instructing them to save more firewood, they went home directly.

   After returning home, seeing that it was still early, I boiled a pot of millet and sweet potato porridge.

   After that, I put the sweet potato diced outside in the house, and then went into the space to fry a portion of garlic rape, a portion of double-cooked pork, and cut a plate of beef with sauce.

   Wait for Gu Chengrui to come back and start dinner.

  After dinner, Zhou Ying came back from washing the dishes. Seeing Gu Chengrui sitting on the end of the kang in a daze, she walked over in a daze and said, "What's the matter, did something happen?"

  Gu Chengrui took her into his arms and said, "Malaria and dysentery appeared in the south. Now all the insecticides, sterilizations, and detoxification drugs have been adjusted."

   "That's a good thing. If someone dispenses medicine, it means that the imperial court is in disaster relief."

   "That's right, I hope fewer people die. I'm mainly worried that something will happen here, and there is no medicine available."

   "Hey, it's been two years, either this disaster or that disaster, and I don't know when it will calm down."

   "It should be soon, if this goes on, human beings should be extinct."

"hope so."

   Early the next morning, as soon as Gu Chengrui left, Mr. Bai came over with the soles of his shoes.

   Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Auntie, you are a rare guest, hurry up and sit in the room."

   "I'm fine too, I'm not just relaxing, I'm here to chat with you.

  Let's just sit in the courtyard, the sun is still warm. "

   "Alright, I just cut some sweet potatoes to dry." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she first brought two stools over.

   Then came out with a bag of sweet potatoes, began to wash the sweet potatoes, rubbed the sweet potatoes, and finally cut them into small pieces.

   "Your work is fine enough, I cut it all into pieces." Bai Shi said in surprise.

   "Idle is also idle, what do you mean your house is all dried up?"

   "Yes, we have a lot of people, the place is big, and the work is rough, so naturally it's faster."

   After the two chatted for a while, Bai started to complain in a low voice.

   All the sweet potatoes in the family helped the daughter, and she was not allowed to help the natal family and so on.

  Also, there are delicious food, whether they have enough food or not, let’s share a portion for the daughter’s family first, etc. In short, I am dissatisfied with the village chief’s behavior.

  Especially, for the relief, the sweet potatoes were distributed to the daughter's family on a per-capita basis.

   When she arrived at her parents' house, the whole family only sent 200 catties and some vegetables, which made her very uncomfortable.

   looked at Zhou Ying and said, "Girl Ying, you said that this matter is not a fuss. If you knew this, the child should not have been allowed to stay in the village in the first place."

   Zhou Ying hesitated and asked, "Auntie, did Tie Niu's aunt take up any share of your family's grain reserves?

   In other words, did you divide your sweet potatoes? "

   "That's not true. Back then, they helped collect and transport sweet potatoes and called them sweet potatoes.

   The last three princes regarded their family, and the cousin's family, as sweet potatoes shared by our own family. "
