Hearing this, Zhao sneered, "We can't learn to be as generous as you. You can give away everything, even your man, to someone else's bed."
Hearing this, everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
There was a widow at the entrance of the next village. Many unfaithful men from several nearby villages would run to the widow's house and were seen by many people many times.
Ma caught her man herself, and the two of them started fighting in front of the widow's door. When Ma wanted to hit the widow, her husband slapped her twice.
For a while, people who had a bad relationship with Ma used this incident to ridicule her.
Ma's face turned red with anger, and the two of them started to curse at each other.
A few people in the crowd who really wanted to borrow some food became anxious when they saw that Ma started cursing again.
In the end, several women covered her mouth and pulled her back.
The middle-aged man who had just spoken had to step out again and said, "We know we shouldn't have come, but the food at home is almost gone. Mr. Shen is kind-hearted, so please help us."
"Yes, your girl was in poor health when she was young, so we gave her some cloth to make her a patchwork quilt. We don't let you give us food for free, we pay for it."
"Yes, yes, we'll pay for it." The man said with an awkward smile, "But can the price be cheaper than the grain store?"
Today's grain prices are already two or three times the normal price, and some people cannot afford to buy grain even if they want to.
Shen Rong saw his daughter gave him a look and realized that she wanted him to play the good cop, so he stood beside her and said.
"We are aware of everyone's difficulties, but we only have so much food, and we can only give out a portion of it." Shen Rong glanced at the few people who had just clamored for them to take out all the food and gave it to them for free, and continued.
"We are willing to help, but that doesn't mean we are kind people, so we will only sell this food to a certain group of people."
Chen Yun also immediately stood up and said, "Except for the families who followed us to collect grain, we will not sell the rest, you, you, you... and you."
The ones that Chen Yun pointed out were exactly the ones who had just incited the crowd to cause trouble.
Ma was also among them. When she heard this, she shouted, "Why don't you sell it to me? You are just seeking revenge."
"Because this grain belongs to our family." Song said to her mercilessly.
She has not forgotten that Lin Chunyan pushed her daughter into the river.
"If you want to buy food, you can go home now to prepare silver and food bags. We will not wait any longer." After saying this, Shen Yu'an went back to the yard with the Shen family.
Some of the people standing outside ran home happily, while others stood outside the door cursing. Soon the news that Mr. Shen's family was willing to sell grain to everyone spread throughout Shenjia Village, and even those families who had collected grain came to watch the fun.
At this time in the Shen family's yard, everyone worked together to move some of the grain from the cellar.
Originally, Xiao Zhang's father Zhang Mancang was wondering why they wanted to sell the grain. Xiao Zhang explained to him that they had bought a lot of grain in advance.
There are a total of 108 households in Shenjia Village. Excluding the more than 40 households that collected grain and the more than ten households just counted, there are only about 50 households left.
They have enough food, so they don't have to worry about this. It can be considered as doing good deeds and accumulating merit.
People who came to buy food lined up outside, and whoever it was their turn was allowed into the yard.
Wulang and Liulang were guarding the door like little gate gods. They would close the door when someone came in, and would let another person in after the purchase was made.
Shen Yun had already made it clear in front of everyone outside, so they didn't have to worry about the Shen family looking at people and asking for a price if they were separated like this.
Moreover, seeing how ruthless Shen Yu'an was when he put a knife to someone's neck without blinking, no one dared to cause trouble.
The Shen family sells grain according to the number of people in the purchasing family. No matter how big or small the family is, if there is one person in the family, they can buy five more kilograms of grain.
Those who came to buy grain had no complaints and were very grateful during the process of purchasing the grain.
When they were finally about to finish work, Lin Chunyan and Ma came in together.
Chen Yu'an looked expressionlessly at Lin Chunyan, who was trying hard to smile, and said, "I remember Uncle San said he would not sell you food. You can go now."
"Sister An'an, did my mother make you angry this afternoon? Don't take it to heart, she didn't mean it." Lin Chunyan came over and tried to hold Shen Yu'an's arm, but she dodged.
She hung her head sadly, tears falling down her cheeks, and said in a sobbing voice: "I know sister An'an is still angry with me, but I really pushed you into the water accidentally. We have the best relationship, how could I do that?"
Lin Chunyan was really forced to do this, as her family didn't have much food left. Her mother said that if she couldn't get Shen Yu'an to agree to sell them food, she would save her food rations for her brother.
But if there were outsiders around, Lin Chunyan's behavior would probably make a few people feel distressed, but now there are only the Shen family and Xiao Zhang's family in the closed yard.
The Shen family all knew what was going on, and the only four members of the Zhang family who didn't know were on the Shen family's side.
Seeing that her father and eldest brother were confused, little Zhang stood aside and told them what Lin Chunyan had done.
Shen Yu'an sneered, "If you were to act so tearfully in front of Wang Zhicai, maybe it would cause some trouble... Oh, by the way, I remember that the people in the town sent a lot of food to Wang Zhicai the day before yesterday, but why didn't he send any to your family?"
On the day when the head of the village notified the villagers to collect grain in advance, Wang Zhicai was still in the county school. He did not come back until the third day after the grain collection. After inquiring about the situation, he asked his parents to start collecting grain.
But it was too late. Before a quarter of the food in the fields had been harvested, heavy rain began to pour down. Then locusts came, and all the food in the fields was gone.
The food that was delivered to Wang's house the day before was sent to him by his fiancée in town.
I just don't know if his fiancée will regret her current behavior if she knows that Wang Zhicai is a fickle and heartless person.
When Lin Chunyan heard this, her eyes lit up. She remembered that when they were intimate that day, Brother Wang said that he would take her as his concubine after he passed the imperial examination. So it should be okay to ask him for some food.
Ma was unaware of the situation, so she said, "Why do you care about the Wang family? Just tell us whether you are willing to give us the grain."
The Shen family was disgusted by Ma's shamelessness. It turned out that she didn't want to buy food but wanted to get something for nothing.
However, they saw that Shen Yu'an had her own ideas, so they didn't respond.
Shen Yuan looked surprised and asked, "You didn't know? Your daughter had sex with Mr. Wang, how could she not be worth this little food?"
Lin Chunyan's eyes were evasive. How could Shen Yu'an know that she and Brother Wang had had physical contact?
