Shen Yu'an looked around and found that there were only a few people left.
There were less than forty of these people in total, and they all looked very miserable.
They all looked at her earnestly, just like the man who had just spoken.
It seemed as if Shen Yu'an's next answer was crucial.
This was indeed the case. Not only were the passers-by waiting for her answer, but even the people from Shenjia Village, who had deliberately kept a considerable distance from the Shen family, came over after hearing what was said.
They were hoping that Mr. Shen’s family would give them this food!
If that girl really agrees to sell food to those refugees, what will they do!
Shen Yu'an hesitated for a moment before saying in embarrassment: "Although we have a lot of food, we also have a lot of family members."
After hearing this, those who were looking hopeful thought there was no hope and their eyes dimmed.
But the situation took a sudden turn so quickly.
Shen Yu'an continued, "So I can only sell part of the grain to you."
The surprise that came out of nowhere stunned those people. They didn't expect that Shen Yu'an would agree.
Although they knew that this request was a bit excessive, they would not be able to survive for two days without food.
"We understand, we understand, thank you girl, wuwuwu..." Someone knelt on the ground happily and started crying as he spoke.
The other people from the Shen and Zhang families did not refuse either. They just thought that whatever Shen Yuan did was right.
But some people disagreed.
When the people from Shenjia Village behind heard that Shen Yu'an actually agreed to sell grain, they immediately became restless.
What will they do if they sell it to others?
Mr. Shen Xingwang’s second daughter-in-law ran out from the back and exclaimed, “No, how can we give them this food for free!”
"If you want to give it, you can only give it to us. It's useless to give it to outsiders."
Old Lady Wu also stepped forward and said, "That's right. If your family thinks the food is too much, we are from the same village and know each other well. Shouldn't we give it to us?"
Shen Yu'an sneered and asked, "When did I say it was given for free? They pay the money and I provide the food. If you want to buy it, you can."
She turned her gaze to Old Lady Wu and said sarcastically, "Now you know we are from the same village. I wonder where you were hiding just now."
"Why should I give you my family's food? You are so shameless!"
Old Lady Wu was stunned by the ridicule, but she immediately realized that if she cared about her face, she would not be the old lady Wu that everyone in the village was afraid of.
She said confidently: "The group of people just now all had knives in their hands. Why should we come out? Besides, don't you all have knives too?"
"Looking at how vicious you were just now, those two carts of food must have been stolen from others, so you should give them to us."
"We are helping you. Your family did something bad, and we are helping you get rid of the stolen goods. You still have to thank us!"
The Shen family and those who gathered to buy some food from the Shen family were simply stunned by the shameless remarks made by Old Lady Wu.
The refugees who were waiting for life-saving food from the Shen family were also extremely panicked.
They were afraid that the old lady would tell them not to sell the girl to them.
Before Shen Yu'an could say anything, the furious Old Lady Shen grabbed Old Lady Wu and beat her up.
"I told you to be shameless. You still have the nerve to say such things. I think you have forgotten why my family was kicked out. You still have the nerve to ask for our food. I will beat you to death, you shameless old woman."
Bang~bang!
Old Lady Wu was pinned to the ground and slapped twice. When she came to her senses, she tried to resist.
But she had never had a good meal during these days of fleeing famine, so she was no match for Old Lady Shen.
Soon he was pinned to the ground and beaten until he cried out in pain.
Song and Zhao had long been fed up with the daughters-in-law of their uncle's family, and whenever they caught the second daughter-in-law showing up, they would give her a good beating.
Shen Yu'an was relieved to see that his family members were not left behind and continued to talk about what had just happened.
Soon, these people lined up in a queue and looked ahead expectantly.
Just like when they sold grain in Shenjia Village, they limited the amount of grain each person could buy.
But even if they don't impose restrictions, these people don't have that much money.
Shen Yu'an watched them carefully take out the broken copper coins from their arms and bags, and his eyes suddenly felt hot.
No matter when, it is the people at the bottom of society who suffer from disasters.
But she couldn't expose herself, so she could only sell the food to them in this way.
He didn't bring a scale when he went out, so all the grain he sold passed through Shen Yu'an's hands.
She took it in her hand, weighed it, and then handed the food over.
She would always try to put in more food for them.
Those people also weighed the obvious extra weight, and looked at the Shen family with gratitude.
Although Shen Yu'an deliberately put a lot of grain in when he was loading it, there were not many people buying grain, and not even all the grain on the cart was sold out.
It seems that I still need to push two more carts, which really delays my journey.
With them were Uncle Zhang and Great Grandfather and the others. She couldn't possibly perform a magic trick to make them disappear by waving her hand.
But Shen Yu'an soon discovered that her thoughts were completely unnecessary.
After the old lady Wu who had just caused trouble and the old man's second daughter-in-law were taught a lesson.
Although no one dared to offend the Shen family, they could still buy food like those people.
Soon, several people came out of the Shenjia Village team and asked if they could buy food.
The Shen family naturally would not refuse and bought the remaining food at the price they had just sold to the refugees.
Seeing that the price of grain this time was just the same as in normal times, many people in Shenjia Village became restless.
Their family’s food was confiscated, and now they are able to survive only by relying on the little they bought from Mr. Shen’s family.
But it would take more than half a month to reach Mizhou city, and the food we bought at the beginning would not be enough.
So they all ran to the Shen family to buy food.
On the contrary, Old Lady Wu and her gang, who usually clamored for the Shen family to take out their grain and share it, were silent.
They all collected some food, and they had enough food if they saved it on the road, but they were jealous of the Shen family for getting so much more.
That's why they instigated those families without food to join them in attacking the Shen family.
After the crowd dispersed, Song looked at the two empty carts, walked over to Wu Cuihua and said, "Cuihua, do you need these carts? If you do, take them."
Wu Cuihua asked in surprise: "You don't want this?"
This is a big item in the house after all, how can it be lost just like that?
"We don't have that much stuff to pack, and it's troublesome to carry it. If you need it, just take it." Song said.
She had already asked Mrs. Shen and the others in advance and knew that they didn't want the cart anymore.
Rather than letting someone unknown take it away, it would be better to give it to Cuihua, so I asked this question.
