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 7 This dish is poisonous and cannot be eaten

Bai Yulian sat down upon hearing this and looked at her with sparkling eyes: "Youyou, what happened yesterday? The village was going crazy with rumors that you were cheating on her. I don't believe it, after all, you were so infatuated with Dalang."

Tang Youyou looked at the person who was speaking. The woman had high cheekbones, drooping eyebrows, and very rough skin. She was Bai's cousin among her peers.

She pretended to sigh and wiped away her nonexistent tears: "Sister Bai, you'd better not ask anymore, otherwise my parents-in-law will definitely skin me alive."

After hearing this, they became even more curious. Someone took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started eating them.

"Sister Tang, don't be afraid. This village isn't completely controlled by the Bai family, right? If you have any grievances, just tell us."

"That's right. You didn't go out much in the past, so everyone thought you were aloof. We women can't be silent. You can't be a taciturn person like before."

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted. Yes, Tang Youyou never left the house, so where would she go to steal a man? Besides, with her nagging personality, she probably had the heart but not the courage.

Tang Youyou hesitated for a long time, and finally slapped her thigh: "My sisters are absolutely right. I don't want to bear this stigma. I have been keeping my chastity for Dalang for five whole years..."

"My son Huzi is married now, and his life is getting better and better. Why would I do such a despicable thing..."

Several people here were sighing, then getting angry, and then cursing Mrs. Wang and Old Man Bai. It was very lively.

Lin Huahua turned around and saw this scene. She frowned slightly at first, and then smiled.

My mother-in-law used to be unwilling to interact with others. In fact, she was very miserable. It’s good that way. Maybe she will feel better after expressing her grievances.

A voice saying goodbye came from the other side.

"Girl, I'll have my Tie Niu bring the soybeans to you later. Just let me know if you need anything!"

"I'll give you some of my bran too..."

Tang Youyou thanked them one by one, and Lin Huahua was stunned.

"Are you stupid, kid?"

Lin Huahua's admiration for her was beyond words: "Mom, what on earth did you say to them? Tie Niu's mother is such a stingy person, but she actually sent food to our family? This is unbelievable."

Tang Youyou chuckled: "Silly child, how could such a good thing happen?"

What she didn't say was that everyone was hungry nowadays, so how could they send her food for no reason?

Looking at the full basket of rushes, she felt relaxed and happy.

"Huahua, go check on them up front. I'll walk around here."

Lin Huahua didn't suspect anything and turned around and trotted away.

Tang Youyou looked around, not knowing when Widow Zhao had run away, and there was no one nearby.

He put his hands on the bamboo basket and complained in his heart: Let's discuss something. Can you leave me some copper coins? Otherwise, I will starve to death and I won't be able to pay back the money you paid to the mall.

[Eight pounds of rush grass, one hundred and twenty coins, would you like to sell it?]

She was too tired to complain. Forget it. What was the point of reasoning with a Zhou Paopi?

【yes】

The grass disappeared, and twenty copper coins fell into the palm of his hand.

Tang Youyou almost screamed.

[I still owe the mall 9882 coins! ]

"Okay, okay, my good mall is quite humane."

【Would you like to deposit? 】

She shook her head. She had taken a small cloth bag with her when she went out today just to save her coins. The 10% handling fee was too expensive and she couldn't afford it.

He put all the copper coins into his pocket, weighed them, and felt very happy.

She turned around quickly to see if there was any valuable grass nearby.

[Ding! Found plantain, three cents a pound!]

[Ding! Found water celery, ten cents a pound!]

[Ding! Found watercress, ten cents a pound!]

Tang Youyou felt like she was about to have an orgasm, and she felt dizzy.

When the children came over, they saw Tang Youyou humming an unknown tune and pinching water celery.

"Mom, this vegetable can't be eaten, it's poisonous!" Bai Ruoyi hurriedly stopped her.

Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow. "Why can't I eat it?" This water celery farmhouse dish costs thirty or forty yuan a plate, and it's gone in a few chopsticks.

"You kid, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. If I say you should eat, then you should eat! Okay, you guys should go back first!"

She had to pick them secretly, otherwise she would be discovered if something was missing.

Bai Ruoyi moved his mouth, sighed, but still did not refute.

"Ah! Who is the shameless one who stole my rush?" Lin Huahua screamed as she looked at the empty bamboo basket.

"Someone is stealing rush? Oh my God, this is too shameless." Bai Rushan looked angry.

Tang Youyou's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Lin Huahua naturally noticed it and laughed: "This thief is quite good. He actually left the bamboo basket for us. The grass is worthless anyway. It doesn't matter. Mom, don't be angry."

Tang Youyou: "..."

He waved his hand: "Everyone go back, I'll be back soon!"

A few people were a little worried, after all, she still had a head injury, so Bai Ruoer stayed.

"Mom, I'm going to the front to cut some rushes. My sister-in-law said she'd make some straw sandals to sell."

Tang Youyou didn't stop her, which was exactly what she wanted.

His fingers flew and soon he had picked all the water celery, and then picked a lot of watercress. He kept some for himself and sold the rest.

[I still owe the mall 9752 coins! ]

He looked at the six copper coins in his hand and put them in the small cloth bag.

She found a big tree and leaned against it to enjoy the coolness. The cicadas kept chirping, and Tang Youyou felt a little irritable.

"This is too hot. No, I have to think of a way. My body can't handle it if it goes on like this. I'm afraid I'll die before I even have a full stomach."

Bai Ruoer ran over hurriedly carrying a bamboo basket.

"Look, Mom, I harvested a full basket."

Tang Youyou looked at the bamboo basket with shining eyes, as if she saw a basket of gold.

"Are there more on top?"

Bai Ruo'er didn't understand what was going on and shook her head: "I cut it all off, that's all!"

She thought to herself: If I search along this river, I will definitely find a lot. After all, this grass is worthless, and no one eats water celery. Some people do eat watercress, but don't worry. If I want to make money, I will definitely pick the expensive ones first.

"Come on, I'm tired, let's go home."

As soon as the two of them reached the house, they vaguely heard crying. Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Old Lady Wang was here to cause trouble again?

Okay, I didn’t go looking for you, but you came to my door instead. I don’t have any money to pay you back, so I’ll beat you up and get some money first.

He threw down the bamboo basket and ran into the yard at full speed.

"You damned woman, haven't you been beaten enough? I don't think you've learned your lesson..."

After seeing the situation, he was stunned. It's over. It's not Wang Po.

What caught my eye was an old woman with red eyes from crying, an old man with gray hair, and next to him a strong man who looked to be in his thirties.

Seeing her standing there, the old woman ran over quickly, hugged her and burst into tears.

"You silly girl, you didn't even come to tell us when such a big thing happened. Are you determined to break off all ties with your family? Wuwuwu..."
