Song Qianning was the Fish Fairy Princess of the Queen Mother's Jade Pond. Due to a moment of gluttony, she ate the nectar and lotus seeds from the Jade Pond and was cast down to the mortal wor...
The next morning, after breakfast, Song Qianning took her two children to the street to buy some things for the family.
Unlike a few days ago, although the streets are still crowded, it is not as lively as before. There seems to be a sense of irritability in the air, and occasional noise can be heard.
There are fewer vegetable stalls on both sides of the street, and the few remaining vegetable stalls are surrounded by people.
Every few steps, I could hear passers-by complaining that the price of vegetables had gone up again.
After taking the two cubs around for a while, Song Qianning still didn't find what she wanted.
There happened to be a vegetable vendor in front of her. Out of curiosity, Song Qianning went over and asked, "Auntie, how much are these cabbages?"
"Five cents a pound."
"Five cents per pound?!" Song Qianning widened her eyes.
Although she was a fish from heaven, Song Qianning had been in the human world for some time and had a basic understanding of the prices there.
For example, cabbage used to cost only one or two cents per pound, but now it has risen to five cents.
You know, even meat is only a little more expensive than this, and it wasn't that expensive the last time she bought vegetables.
If the price continues to rise at this rate, it won’t be long before it catches up with the price of meat.
Seeing Song Qianning's reaction, the vegetable vendor shook his head and muttered, "Girl, please don't think my prices are too high."
"The price of vegetables on the street ahead is almost seven cents. Five cents is fair enough for me."
The vegetable stalls that Song Qianning passed by just now were indeed more expensive than each other, especially some high-quality vegetables, which were several times more expensive, but there were still countless people rushing to buy them.
Thinking of the recent soaring vegetable prices, Song Qianning asked curiously, "Auntie, why are vegetable prices rising so fast recently?"
Hearing Song Qianning's question, the vegetable vendor slapped his thigh and sighed: "It's all God's fault."
"To be honest, young lady, it hasn't rained for quite some time. The crops and vegetables in the fields are all waiting for rain."
"Now that there's no rain, vegetables and crops aren't growing well. My family planted three mu of vegetables, but in the end we only harvested less than one mu, and most of them had yellow leaves."
"If the situation continues like this, we don't know if there will be a drought. Vegetable prices will definitely go up. They'll probably go up several more times in the next few days."
Hearing this, Song Qianning thought carefully in her mind. It had indeed been a while since it rained recently. No wonder the vegetable prices had risen so much.
After learning that the reason for the skyrocketing vegetable prices was because it didn't rain, Song Qianning couldn't help but complain in her heart.
If you ask her, maybe the wind and rain master is being lazy again, which is why there is no rain in the world.
The Wind and Rain Master is in charge of the rain on earth. Song Qianning didn't know what he was thinking about, but a trace of emotion appeared on his face.
When she was still a little fish princess, Feng Bo and Yu Shi loved drinking and often made mistakes due to drinking, leading to being punished.
Every time he drank, he would sleep for a long time, and was punished by the Queen Mother more than once or twice.
Perhaps this time the Wind, Wave and Rain Masters were lazing around drinking and forgot to bring rain to the world.
After complaining a few words, Song Qianning thought that there were not many vegetables left at home. Even if she planted vegetables, it would take time for them to grow. So she bought some vegetables from the vegetable vendor.
After buying the vegetables, Song Qianning took her son to a nearby shop selling food and seasonings and bought a lot of food and seasonings that she might need.
I originally wanted to buy two more candy figures for my two kids, but unfortunately I didn’t find anyone selling them.
After a morning, Song Qianning's hands were full of things she had bought today.
Today's shopping was quite good. Looking at the things in the hands of her two children, Song Qianning's eyes flashed with satisfaction. She raised her chin and said to the two children, "Let's go home and eat."
Xiao Ya responded happily, then took Da Wang's hand and followed Song Qianning, and the family of three walked home.
After strolling around for the whole morning, Song Qianning had almost digested the food in her stomach, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace to go home.
When she got home, before she had time to go in, Song Qianning stopped and looked ahead with a frown.
The gate of the courtyard, which was intact before I left, was now carelessly sealed.
Even the most innocent little girl noticed something: "Mom, why is there paper on the door?"
At this moment, the neighbor's voice rang out: "Miss Song, you are finally back."
Song Qianning turned her head and saw her neighbor looking at them with a worried look on her face: "Auntie, what's the matter with the seal on my door?"
"Oh." The neighbor sighed and waved to Song Qianning, his face showing anxiety.
After Song Qianning arrived, the neighbor glanced at the seal on her gate and said, "This morning, a few soldiers suddenly came over and ransacked your house, Miss Song. They took away all the valuables and left the house in a mess."
"That's not all. They took away all the valuables from your house, Miss Song, and even put a seal on the door. Miss Song, you weren't at home at the time, so I didn't know where to find you."
After being told by his neighbor that the seal on his door was put by soldiers, Song Qianning immediately became annoyed and his face turned cold.
How dare someone steal Fairy Yuji's home!
After grinding her teeth for a while, Song Qianning asked the neighbor in front of her, "Aunt, when will those officers and soldiers arrive? And who gave the order..."
After asking about the details of what happened, Song Qianning suppressed her anger, put her things at the neighbor's house, and took a deep breath: "Auntie, please help me take care of my child first. I have something to do and need to leave."
"Hey..." The neighbor finally realized what was going on. He grabbed Song Qianning's arm and asked worriedly, "Miss Song, what are you going to do? You must not do anything stupid."
"Don't worry, auntie, I won't do anything stupid."
After temporarily entrusting Da Wang and Xiao Ya to the neighbors, Song Qianning said to them, "I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. You guys stay at my aunt's house first. I'll come back to see you when I'm done."
After giving the instructions, Song Qianning didn't bother waiting for their answer, but rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the local government gate in a threatening manner.
If the Fish Fairy didn't show her power, people would really think she was a sick fish!
At the same time, at the gate of the mansion.
Lord Li sat at the head of the hall, his chin raised, a cup of tea in his hand, his face full of arrogance.
"Prefect Sun, Prefect Sun, as a local official, how can you favor such a vicious woman who disrespects her biological father?"
The prefect stood below with a stiff smile. Under the continuous scolding of Lord Li, he had no choice but to bow to him: "Lord Li, it is all my fault..."
"So Prefect Sun knows he's wrong!" Lord Li snorted coldly and slammed his hand on the table. "Officials should be fair and just. It's absolutely unacceptable to favor the wicked!"
Faced with Lord Li's reprimand, the prefect didn't even have a chance to speak and complained in his heart.
He couldn't find a prefect more unlucky than himself.
