Lord Zhu leisurely sipped his wine. His family was already running low on grain, and his wife urged him to find a way to buy some more as soon as possible.
But fate was kind to him; suddenly a little girl with food appeared.
Although the little girl hasn't agreed yet, in his eyes it's a done deal.
Without his help, how could the little girl possibly sell her grain?
Hmph, you're overthinking it!
Go if you're not afraid of being robbed or dying!
So he wasn't in a hurry and waited for the little girl to come and beg him.
"Sir, Han Luoxue has sold the grain to Sixi Town," said Magistrate Wen anxiously.
"What? What did you say?"
For a moment, Magistrate Zhu did not understand what Magistrate Wen meant.
"The little girl went to buy grain from the neighboring towns of Sixi and Qiyuan. I heard the adults there are personally overseeing things there?"
Lord Zhu heard this, but he didn't understand it.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
At first, Magistrate Wen disagreed with the magistrate's approach.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but now it's turned out like this.
"You mean she went straight next door to sell herself?"
"Um."
"How...how could this little girl do that?"
Lord Zhu was dumbfounded. He was waiting for the little girl to come begging for mercy, but instead…
They actually bypassed me completely.
The key point is that elsewhere they get a personal welcome, but here...
what to do?
Should we lock that little girl up?
But how can you confiscate someone else's grain when you don't even know where they've hidden it?
Magistrate Wen has thought it through; Lord Zhu is in real trouble now.
If the higher-ups find out about this, then...
"What should we do now? Arrest their whole family?"
Believe it or not, that's exactly what Lord Zhu was planning.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he quickly stopped them:
"Oh, sir, please don't arrest people. Our relationship isn't very good right now, and if you continue arresting people, I'm afraid..."
County Magistrate Wen was so frightened that he quickly tried to dissuade him:
"Han Luoxue is capable. Think about it. In the current situation, let alone a young girl, how many people in the capital can get their hands on food and vegetables? To deal with someone like her, you have to kill her outright, or it will be a fight to the death."
"If you arrest her now, other adults will come looking for us. What will we say then?"
Although Lord Zhu is greedy, he is also intelligent.
He was just saying it casually; he certainly didn't mean to push things to the brink.
The current situation is that if he takes the initiative to make amends with Han Luoxue, he will be at a disadvantage.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"We should just go and help her open the shop. But we can't help her for nothing; we can ask her to sell us the grain at a lower price."
This was the plan of Magistrate Wen from the beginning.
"Whatever you want."
Lord Zhu was displeased, but he couldn't say much about it now.
...
Zhou Yuan can't stay here for long; he'll have to go back after two days.
Han Luoxue and he had become quite familiar with each other, and they even made a promise to visit each other when she went to the capital.
As for the grain they ordered, it should be delivered as soon as possible.
Han Luoxue was still worried about her family. With Han Lenghua in the shop, there were many more uncertainties.
Han Datou set off early in the morning and didn't arrive in town until almost noon.
There was only one place selling grain in town, and he found it easily.
Looking at the crowd of people and the grain they were carrying, Han Datou's eyes lit up with envy.
He knew Han Mingyuan had grain, but he didn't know there was so much.
Instead of rushing forward, he found a place to hide and secretly watch.
Of course, there were many people like him who couldn't afford food and resorted to peeping.
Many people were envious and wanted to rob it, but unfortunately there were yamen runners here, and quite a few of them, so they didn't dare.
"I wonder what the relationship is between this family? This grain smells so good."
Some people were so hungry they were drooling.
"That's right, we'd be happy to have some food. I haven't eaten anything for half a month."
Saying it was half a month is, of course, a bit of an exaggeration.
Han Datou remained silent, unsure of what to say. He couldn't very well say that this belonged to his son, could he?
Even if I told you, no one would believe me.
He also saw Han Lenghua and Yan Gang.
Looking at the two figures, Han Datou's anger intensified.
That Han Mingyuan is heartless. He's such a jerk; he made his fortune but didn't take care of his parents, instead taking in a useless older sister.
Now that his family is doing better, he should take care of his parents and brothers first.
Daughters are like water spilled from a cup; why bother with such trivial matters?
Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen were not there. After the shop opened, she left her things and then drove the carriage out with Han Yuchen.
Han Yuchen didn't stop her from expanding her business and accompanied her throughout.
However, what puzzled Han Luoxue was that although the space hadn't changed much recently, her health was noticeably better than before.
She even checked on her body that night and noticed that her originally slender and thin figure was now much more shapely.
I clenched my fist, and there were actually some small muscles on my arm. But you couldn't tell unless I strained, so I'm not a muscle-bound Barbie.
She also developed a beautiful six-pack, but unfortunately, there were no crop tops in ancient times, so she couldn't show it off.
And she also has more strength now.
Han Luoxue couldn't figure out the reason, and in the end there was only one explanation: could it be because more people were eating the food from her space?
"The more people consume food in the space, the faster the space will be upgraded."
The sudden prompt in her mind startled Han Luoxue.
It is indeed related to the number of people.
