Escaping the Famine with 9 Deaths and 1 Life, I Have a System, My Heart Isn't Panicked

Just out of rating, it will rise, haha.

Tang Youyou opened her eyes and found herself an ancient, timid widow. Having been single for over 30 years, she inexplicably skipped marriage and chil...

Chapter 21 Brother Tang Wu

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Li stood up with a bang.

"Hahaha... Big sister, you solved my urgent problem!"

Tang Youyou was confused.

"Did your family hunt this wild boar? Your family is quite capable, but you're also quite strong!"

She touched her nose and didn't refute: "May I ask, Shopkeeper Li, can you eat this wild boar?"

Shopkeeper Li stroked his beard and laughed twice: "Of course!"

After checking the wild boar, he tutted his tongue twice: "Not bad, was it hunted this morning?"

After thinking for a moment, he looked at her and sighed: "How about this, wild boar is usually 25 coins per pound. It's not easy for you, so I'll give you 28 coins."

This woman is too shabby. She has a wooden stick on her head and wears straw sandals. There are so many straw sandals in the basket. Who would buy straw sandals in this day and age?

It's just a few hundred extra coins. The wild boar was delivered at the right time, which is really a timely help.

Tang Youyou was a little surprised. Is there anyone doing business like this?

"Shopkeeper Li is so generous, no wonder his business is so good!"

Who doesn’t like to be flattered by others? Shopkeeper Li smiled happily.

"To be honest, I've accepted a banquet invitation, and the client really likes wild game. You've solved my urgent need!"

Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow. So that's how it was. She handed over the pheasant in her hand: "Since that's the case, then I'll add the icing on the cake. This chicken is for Shopkeeper Li. I wish Shopkeeper Li immediate success!"

Shopkeeper Li looked at her with a look of approval. Although the woman was dressed in rags, her words were not like those of an ordinary woman.

He nodded and said, "Thank you very much, sister. If you find any wild animals in the future, just send them to me!"

Tang Youyou was waiting for this sentence from him. Exchanging a chicken for a long-term cooperative relationship was simply too good a deal.

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. This young lady was quite sensible.

He waved his hand and ordered: "Weigh it quickly!"

Finally, this wild boar weighed 280 kilograms and cost a total of 7,840 coins.

She was extremely surprised, and with the money she had on her, she was now worth more than ten taels of silver, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

All the money that Manager Li gave her was small change.

After Tang Youyou expressed her thanks, she discovered that there were actually five-cent and one-cent coins in the box. It was truly an eye-opener.

The waiter escorted her out of the yard: "Big sister, take care!"

She turned around and asked, "Excuse me, little brother, do you recognize Tang Wu from the restaurant across the street?"

The waiter looked at her doubtfully: "Of course I recognize her!"

"Do you know where he is now?"

The waiter thought about her not selling the wild boar to the restaurant across the street and sighed: "The owner of the restaurant across the street refused to pay him, and he refused, so he was kicked out. Now he's working as a laborer on South Street!"

Tang Youyou understood that her brother didn't tell his parents the truth because he was afraid of worrying them. He said goodbye to the waiter and went straight to South Street.

Seeing a group of men gathered in a circle, I was very confused.

As I approached, I heard a woman's voice: "You look good. How's your stamina?"

Tang Wu stood upright and said, "I can carry 200 kilograms!"

The woman chuckled and covered her mouth with her hands.

A man shouted loudly: "I can carry 300 kilograms! Choose me, choose me!"

The woman rolled her eyes, and the man scratched the back of his head, his ears slightly red.

The woman turned to look at Tang Wu and said, "My family is in need of a farmhand. I'd like to pay you one ounce of silver a month. Are you willing to go?"

Tang Wu's heart was pounding. What kind of farmhand was paid only one ounce of silver? There was no such good treatment in the entire Guangming County.

"May I ask what kind of work you do?"

The woman didn't say anything, but the other workers looked at her greedily.

"I'll go! I do!"

"I do, too!"

"Are you stupid? Food and lodging are provided here, and you only need one or two taels of silver a month. You can get married in a few months. What are you still hesitating about?" A man patted Tang Wu on the shoulder.

When she heard that he was not married yet, her eyes lit up and she grabbed his sleeve.

"It's not a difficult job, just looking after the house. I like to plant flowers and plants. I wonder if you can farm?"

Tang Wu Mu nodded reluctantly.

The woman was overjoyed and waved her hands: "That's it, it's over!"

Everyone looked at Tang Wu with jealousy, gloating, and envy...

After everyone dispersed, Tang Youyou discovered that a woman was holding her brother.

“Ahem…”

Tang Wu looked in the direction of the voice and felt that the person in front of him was very familiar.

Tang Youyou cursed inwardly, this silly brother, how could he not recognize him? Then he thought about how he was still a little kid when he got married.

"Tang Wu!"

Tang Wu suddenly remembered, shook off the woman and ran towards her.

But when she got close, she felt a little uneasy, her hands tightly clasped together, tears flashed in her eyes, and her voice was choked: "Sister...sister...is that you?"

"Oh, you still remember me?" Tang Youyou teased.

Tang Wu couldn't hold it in any longer, and went forward to hug her and burst into tears: "Wuwuwu... Sister, I thought I would never see you again in this life, wuwuwu..."

She was a little embarrassed, after all, they were still on the street.

She pushed him away fiercely: "Look at you, you idiot! I'm not dead, why can't I see you?"

"Sister, come home with me. Mom and Dad are very worried about you!" After saying that, he was about to pull her away.

She wanted to hold her forehead with her hand. Her brother inherited his father's temperament, impetuous and impatient.

The woman shouted angrily: "Stop right there!"

Tang Wu turned around and apologized: "I'm so sorry, I have something urgent to do. Please find someone else for this job."

He figured it out. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Before, the monthly salary of Tianxiang Restaurant was 700 wen, which was one of the best in Guangming County.

As a result, the shopkeeper Xu withheld his wages and even accused him of cheating. It was truly abusive.

Every failure makes one wiser. The salary is too high. I'm afraid he is doing something shameful. He is a good citizen and he would never do such things as murder and arson.

"You just say you don't want to do it, so don't do it? You've wasted a lot of my time, how can I say that?" The woman looked domineering.

Tang Wu was stunned and muttered quietly: "I didn't say I was going!"

The woman pointed at him and angrily scolded: "Why didn't you say anything just now? Who is this elder sister?"

Tang Youyou pointed at herself: "Who's older between us? The powder on your face has fallen off, who are you embarrassing?"

"You...you...you bitch! How dare you snatch someone from me!"

She raised her eyebrows, naturally understanding the meaning of her words. She looked at Tang Wu and rolled her eyes. This stupid brother didn't even know that he was being noticed and was going to be kept by someone.

Without hesitation, he spat at the woman: "Bah! You want to find a prostitute to go to a brothel? You robbed a man in the street. If I report you to the county government, you will probably be imprisoned."

The woman panicked for a moment. This bitch actually knew what she was thinking. She almost bit her teeth to pieces.

"Just wait for me..." She left in a hurry after saying this.
