The cowherd nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "That's how it should be! If you had been so tough earlier, they wouldn't have bothered you so many times.
You always said harsh words before, but you still got bullied."
They talked happily on their way back to the village.
The sunlight shines on them, creating a warm atmosphere.
On Gu Changmu's side, they have already moved all the grain and fruits to the black market.
The brothers were as excited as children, dancing around the grain.
"Brother, we've made a fortune! With so much rice and flour, let's see if any black market dares to challenge us this winter!"
They, a group of younger brothers, looked at the mountain of food and smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed into slits.
This time they are really going to get rich. These grains will not only allow them to gain a foothold in the black market, but also allow them to further expand their influence to neighboring towns.
This year's winter seems to be colder than ever before, with the bitterly cold wind making people shiver.
The residents of the town also felt the chill and started buying winter supplies in advance.
For a time, the whole town became bustling with various trading activities in full swing.
Behind this bustle, there is a figure who has been silently paying attention to everything - that is Gu Changmu.
He knew very well that this winter was of great significance to him.
This batch of grain will be the key to his rise, and he must seize this opportunity to make his power even stronger.
As the weather gets colder, people's demand for food increases.
Gu Changmu decided to take advantage of this opportunity to sell his stored grain to the residents of the town.
At the same time, he also plans to cooperate with forces in neighboring towns to jointly develop the market and achieve a win-win situation.
After all, you can’t buy food in other places even if you have money.
In this cold winter, Gu Changmu gradually emerged with his wisdom and courage. His story has just begun...
It’s just that due to the cold weather, there is a temporary shortage of goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives here, and many city residents have gone to the supply and marketing cooperatives several times but have not been able to buy anything.
They are all anxious now. Food is the basis of people's survival, and they cannot buy food even if they have money.
Now many people go to the black market to buy food, as it is the only place where they can buy food.
Although the price is twice as high as that of the supply and marketing cooperative, fortunately no ticket is required, so it’s okay if it’s a little more expensive!
But in order to have something to eat, they had no choice! The village was about to start hibernating early, and the team leader asked the villagers to collect all the food in the fields.
The people above said that this winter will be quite cold, and notified all the production brigades below to remember to store more food so that they can survive the winter.
"What should we do?" Someone stamped his feet anxiously, "There's not much food left at home."
"Yes, we were hoping to buy food from the supply and marketing cooperative." Another person said with a sad face.
"I heard you can buy it on the black market, but it's too expensive." Someone muttered.
"No matter how expensive it is, there's nothing we can do. We can't go hungry." Someone sighed helplessly.
The atmosphere in the village became a little heavy, and everyone was talking worriedly.
The captain looked at everyone and frowned: "Don't worry, let's think of a solution together."
"Captain, why don't we organize the villagers to collect firewood and pick wild fruits. We have a lot of fruits on the mountain and we can always find something to eat." Someone suggested.
"Yes, there are also those wild animals in the mountains. If we catch a few of them and bring them back, we can survive for a while." Someone else echoed.
The captain pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's do this. Divide into teams. One group will collect firewood, and another will go hunting in the mountains. We must ensure that everyone has enough food to survive the winter."
So, the people in the village became busy. Some took tools to pick wild fruits, while others went up the mountain to hunt together.
We all work together and hope to get through this difficult winter.
Those city dwellers who had no food could only continue to go to the black market to buy high-priced food, and their lives fell into difficulties.
Mo Shihao has been really exhausted from carrying manure recently, and the weather is getting colder and colder. He feels that his body can't take it anymore.
He decided to write a letter home and ask his parents to send him some thick quilts and clothes to keep out the cold.
Although the family had little money left, they only had one son, so they saved money and sent him a thick quilt and a thick cotton coat.
However, what Mo Shihao didn't know was that the situation at home was actually very bad.
Since he left, the family's financial situation has become even more difficult, almost to the point where they can't make ends meet.
In order to solve the problem of food and clothing, Mo Shihao's parents had to turn their attention to their daughter, Mo Shixin.
Mo Shixin was fooling around outside and had no idea what was happening at home.
Suddenly one day, she received a shocking news: her parents actually planned to marry her to a widower in his thirties!
And the reason was simply because the man was willing to pay three hundred yuan as a betrothal gift.
When Mo Shixin heard the news, she was stunned.
She could never have imagined that her parents would make such a decision.
She had seen the old widower once before; he was hideously ugly and obese.
What's even more terrifying is that I heard that his previous wife was beaten to death by him. Thinking of this, Mo Shixin couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in his heart.
