That's hilarious!
It's like the whole village has an obligation!
hehe!
What, you're planning a big celebration?
You dare to think like that even if you don't have any money!
I'm truly impressed!
That's their mother, not someone else's mother in the village. Don't you understand?
They even threatened the village chief, saying they would bury him hastily if he didn't help?
Don't make me laugh!
No one would say anything if we didn't bury them, but now that living conditions have worsened, who cares about anyone else!
Seeing the unrest outside, people are filled with anxiety, not knowing what tomorrow will bring!
If they don't even care about their own family's affairs, the villagers will care even less!
Whatever!
After the funeral arrangements are made, the clan elders will spontaneously go to help, but it is unreasonable to force the villagers to give money!
The village is a melting pot, not a single clan. Some people are just villagers and have no kinship at all!
If someone genuinely wanted to help, they would have done so without even asking. But the Chen family spoke up early on and maintained the same attitude, which changed the whole situation!
It's a favor if someone helps you, it's their right not to!
There are never so many things in the world that are taken for granted or that are simply sophistry!
The Chen family's actions were utterly foolish!
Worried about not having help doesn't justify doing this; it will only put them in an even more unfavorable situation!
However, these were things for the Chen family to think about, and Su Nanxi just listened to them briefly and moved on, as they had little to do with her!
When the Chen family needs help with their funeral arrangements, they always look for Old Mrs. Mo and Old Mr. Mo, but they can't find her directly.
So she can go do whatever she wants; it won't affect anything!
We should go to town!
Mo Laoda and his three companions were in town and well-informed. Hearing that everyone was saying they were preparing for a famine, they became anxious and quickly discussed the matter when Su Nanxi and the others arrived.
"Susu, you told us to stock up on rice and grain before, and we did stock up on some, but the prices outside really are going up! They've gone up a lot these past few days, and we don't know if we should stock up on some more! If we don't stock up now, it looks like prices will only go up for a long time to come! But if we do stock up, the prices are much higher than before, and we're not happy about that! What do you think, should we still stock up?"
As soon as Boss Mo sat down, he launched into a long, rapid-fire monologue.
Su Nanxi was silent for a moment, then said, "The more you hoard, the better! With this kind of weather, a famine is probably inevitable, and it looks like we won't have a harvest until next spring. The price of crops will only go up, not down! Take advantage of the fact that prices aren't too high yet and quickly buy some! Consider your ability and budget, but remember to set aside some money for other uses!"
Upon hearing Su Nanxi's words, Boss Mo couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately stood up and rushed out, saying, "I told the rice shop owner that I need more rice. He left me a few bags at yesterday's price, but that price won't be available after today! I have to go and get it first!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Lao Er also jumped up, "I'll go with you, hurry up! Such a good thing should be done sooner rather than later! If we're late, the boss won't honor the deal!"
The two brothers left in a hurry. Zhao had just gotten up and was about to go and help when they disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Fortunately, she knew which rice shop it was, so she rushed out and followed!
Qin Shi couldn't possibly rush in; her belly wouldn't allow her to be so aggressive, so she could only sit and wait.
Su Nanxi suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Shi, "Sister-in-law, how many clothes have you prepared for the child?"
When Qin heard that her child was being talked about, her face lit up with joy, her smile radiating maternal warmth. "I've prepared some, enough for when he's five or six months old! Babies grow quickly, so we don't need to prepare too many, just enough for him to change into!"
Su Nanxi was clueless about childcare; Qin Shi was the most experienced and had the most authority in this area, so she didn't know what to say.
Finally, he managed to say, "Then make more clothes for close-fitting clothes, make more for you and the child, make them soft and comfortable!"
Seeing how much Su Nanxi cared for her, Qin felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, "I'll take care of everything, don't worry! I'll just need to change clothes more during my postpartum period, but after that, it'll be the same as usual, enough to change into! However, it's only in the first few months that I'll need to change clothes more!"
When Qin was about to say something, she meant to mention that breastfeeding mothers also need to prepare some clothes, but then she remembered that Su Nanxi wouldn't understand and there were men around, so she changed her mind.
Su Nanxi only half understood, but Qin Shi had experience and knew her own situation. Her maternal instincts would definitely make her think more about herself and her child!
That's fine!
After chatting for a while, Su Nanxi left.
On the street, everyone went their separate ways—no, they went off to do their own thing!
Xiao Wu was more familiar with the business, so he was given priority to handle the matter, while Xiao Han stayed by Su Nanxi's side.
As they were walking, someone suddenly stopped them. "Ugly woman? Ah! It really is you!"
Su Nanxi was walking briskly, lost in thought, and not paying much attention to what was in front of her when suddenly someone jumped in front of her, which really startled her!
Good heavens! Have you lost your mind?!
Hearing the man's words, she became even more furious. Her eyes narrowed, and she moved her hand slightly, about to make a move, when unexpectedly the man fell to his knees in front of her.
"Ugly woman, please have mercy! Buy me some steamed buns! I've been starving for days, I'm starving to death! I'm so hungry! Please, for the sake of our past relationship, give me something to eat!"
Su Nanxi stopped what she was doing, looked at the disheveled person on the ground, and it took her a long time to remember who this person was!
Xiao Han observed Su Nanxi's expression before acting. Seeing that Su Nanxi didn't move, he also restrained himself and decided to wait and see.
Su Nanxi took two steps back, and he followed suit.
This person looks filthy; she's probably some kind of beggar, always asking her master to buy her food!
Xiao Han didn't know much about the Mo family and could only guess at things on the surface.
Su Nanxi recognized the person in front of her; it was an acquaintance!
"Didn't your father find you a good marriage? I heard the other party is quite rich! You'll have no worries about food and clothing after you marry him, and you won't have to worry about eating a full meal whenever you want! Why did you turn yourself into this mess? Are you just trying to get people's sympathy?"
Su Nanxi spoke softly, her tone and attitude filled with contempt and disdain.
Xiao Han immediately knew this person was definitely not a good person!
He immediately lost all kindness towards the person on the ground.
The person on the ground looked up; his afro hadn't been washed in ages, covered in all sorts of filth, and looked disgusting!
That's right, the person on the ground is Li Yunmei, who has been offline for a long time but has reappeared.
Looking at it now, one really wouldn't dare to point it out casually!
Not only did they fall into a beggar's den, but they even changed their voices!
Is this an attempt to debut? Such a complete makeover, is it to say goodbye to the past?
No wonder Su Nanxi didn't recognize her at first glance, but the words "ugly woman" were all too familiar!
Li Yunmei hurriedly explained, "My husband isn't that idiot anymore! He died a long time ago! How could I still stay in his house! If I had money, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"You remarried?"
"No, she's been married three times!"
