Wang Miaomiao left the room to Yu Niang and went out to chat with Old Man Wang.
"Dad, how were the prey sales when you went to town today?" she asked.
Father Wang looked at his daughter and sighed, "Miao Miao, I'm sorry for you."
Wang Miaomiao was confused when she heard this. She looked at the expression on Old Man Wang's face and asked tentatively, "Dad, what's wrong? What happened to you today? Didn't you sell the prey?"
After saying this, she denied it herself. Fresh meat is very popular in the town's restaurants, so how could it not be sold? Moreover, Old Man Wang came back empty-handed this afternoon, which showed that he had sold it.
As expected, Old Man Wang denied it and said, "No, all the prey we hunted today was sold to the restaurant. The tiger you killed was also taken away by a pharmacy. The money from the sale is all with me."
After saying this, he paused and explained, "Dad was talking about the money from the previous hunting trip. It was all taken away by bandits. The money from this sale is going to fill the hole from the last time and be distributed to other people in the village, so there won't be much left for you."
Wang Miaomiao looked at the guilt on Old Man Wang's face and finally reacted. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Dad. We can divide the money accordingly. I don't care. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."
Seeing that Father Wang still had a look of regret on his face, she smiled and added, "And there's one thing I didn't tell you. When I rescued you, I found a purse on that barbarian. The silver in it is enough to make up for the loss."
As she spoke, she took out a gray purse from her pocket and handed it to Old Man Wang.
There wasn't much silver in the purse, as Wang Miaomiao had long since disregarded the box of gold, silver, and jewelry in Black Wind Village. But it was a huge sum of money for this family.
Old Man Wang took it and weighed it in his hand. A look of surprise flashed across his face. He looked at his daughter's well-behaved face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"This money is for your household expenses, Dad. Please keep it well." Wang Miaomiao said with a smile.
Old Man Wang patted his daughter's shoulder with a look of relief on his face. He felt that his child had really grown up and that he, as a father, even needed his daughter to take care of him.
The father and daughter chatted for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Old Man Wang asked her to go back to the house and rest early.
Wang Miaomiao nodded, stood up and went back to the house, where she slept with Yu Niang and her son for the night.
The next day.
Because Wang Miaomiao had promised Yu Niang that she would take her to town, she asked Old Man Wang to distribute the money to each family and inform them not to go hunting in the mountains today.
She went to the town with Yu Niang and her son in a ox cart.
Wandering all the way.
The car arrived in town as the sun rose.
There were many beggars on the corners of the streets in the town. Wang Miaomiao was a good person and accompanied Yu Niang to find the relative she was going to take refuge with, and then turned around and separated from the mother and son.
She walked down the street and looked around, and found that every few steps there were ragged people sitting in the corners, who seemed to have recently fled into the town.
"Please be kind and give me something to eat."
"Go away, don't stand in front of my store."
Not far away, the owner of a teahouse kicked a man out of the shop and spat, "My business is so bleak, and you still come to me to beg for food? I don't even know who to ask for it from."
After saying that, the shopkeeper flicked his sleeves and turned back into the store.
When Wang Miaomiao heard this, she glanced at the situation inside the teahouse from a distance. She remembered that this was an old shop with always three or five tables of customers sitting there on weekdays. But now it was empty and it was indeed a bit desolate.
She walked alone on the street for a while and noticed that some beggars around her had secretly cast their eyes on her because of her thin figure, and were following her to see if they were planning something.
Wang Miaomiao frowned when she saw this.
She didn't want to cause any trouble, so after thinking for a moment, she quickened her pace and entered a clothing store on the street.
After entering, Wang Miaomiao asked the shop owner for a set of men's clothes, changed into them and dressed up as a young man. She put the clothes she was wearing into a package and carried it on her back.
This time when I went out through the back door of the clothing store, there was no longer any sight in the dark.
She didn't continue wandering the streets, but went to the town to rent a house from a dentist. She was generous with her money and had no requirements, so the house was rented out quickly and she got the keys after paying.
The dentist left with a smile.
Wang Miaomiao took the key to the rice shop in town, bought a large batch of rice, paid a deposit, and asked the store owner to deliver it to the house she had just rented.
The shopkeeper saw her young age and asked, "Young brother, why are you buying so much rice all at once?"
There was a hint of testing in these words. Wang Miaomiao remained expressionless and lowered her voice as she spoke, "Hey, my family is planning to start a food business, so they're busy buying some ingredients for later use."
The shopkeeper believed what he said as if it was a casual answer. After exchanging a few words with her, he promised to deliver it to her home in the afternoon.
Wang Miaomiao did the same thing and went to other rice shops in town to order another batch, still asking for it to be delivered as soon as possible.
Seeing that things were settled, she slowly bought some food and returned to the house she had just rented. She ate while waiting for the rice to be delivered. Her yard was not big, but it was enough to store the rice.
In fact, Wang Miaomiao had the idea of ​​stockpiling some rice and grain a long time ago, but she had no money so she could only think about it. Now with the large amount of silver notes obtained from Heifeng Village, the time is ripe to realize this idea.
In addition to sending Yu Niang and her son as a gift, her main reason this time was that she wanted to exchange the silver notes in her hands for rice and stockpile them as soon as possible.
The amount Wang Miaomiao ordered from various rice shops this time was not much, but the total amount ordered from several shops was enough for the family to eat lavishly for two years.
The rice shops didn't make her wait too long. When she was walking in the yard after eating, batches of rice began to be delivered and piled in the yard.
