Chapter 9 Discussing the Famine Relief



"No?" Xia Hua asked when she didn't speak. "It's okay if you don't. I'll take care of you from now on."

"My cheat code is live streaming, you know? As long as I'm live streaming, people will give me gifts, and those gifts can be exchanged for money, which I can then use, and it's money from this world."

"There's also a shop in the live stream where you can buy things, food, household items, you wouldn't believe it, would you? I suddenly realized how lucky I am! Little Shushu, just wait and see what Sister Qiu will do from now on!"

“I have one too,” An Shuyi said slowly, unable to bear her smug old face. “Mine is a trading system. It can buy and sell. I can sell things from this world to the system and then buy things there.”

Although she might not be as good as her, she wouldn't say that. As long as she can fight back, nothing else matters.

Xia Hua's smile froze on her face, then she looked at her resentfully, "Shu Shu, you've become naughty! You always know how to tease me. Were you just waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"

I thought that only she had it, so she could help Shushu in the future and even show it off to her. I didn't expect that she couldn't. Waaah, I'm so disappointed!

"No, you just spoke too quickly and didn't give me a chance." She wouldn't admit that it was intentional.

"Okay, it's fine if you have a cheat code, then we all have one, it's fair. This morning when I was beating up those rebellious kids in my family, I started a live stream, and the effect was unexpectedly good, with 10,000 people watching. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to come to you, I could have continued beating them."

After Xia Hua finished speaking, she opened the live stream interface and asked, "Shu Shu, can you see this?"

“I can’t see it,” An Shuyi said, showing hers as well. “Can you see mine?”

“We can’t see it, maybe only we can see it,” Xia Hua pointed to the air, which was actually the screen in front of her, and continued, “This is the money we got from the gifts we received during the live stream this morning. It’s three thousand yuan. If we exchange it for silver here, it’s only three taels. That’s really little.”

"But money doesn't last long. Things in the mall are especially expensive. A pound of rice costs ten yuan, a steamed bun costs two yuan, and a baozi costs five yuan. I think this is very unreasonable. It's more than double the price outside."

“Pretty much,” An Shuyi explained. “Although it’s expensive, you can make money quickly by live streaming. You earned three thousand yuan from just one live stream, which can buy a lot of things.”

"Be content with what you have. You should be secretly happy to have this cheat code. You still complain about the price of things in the mall? If we open more events in the future, you'll be able to afford them no matter how expensive they are."

Xia Hua nodded, "That makes sense. Then tell me about your trading system."

“Okay,” An Shuyi brought up her screen. “Mine is similar to a computer screen, but it’s very simple. It’s just buying and selling. The bottom right corner is the warehouse, and the top right corner is the balance. Right now, I only have one coin.”

I got it from selling wild vegetables last night. It cost two coins per pound of wild vegetables, and I sold two pounds. Now I can only buy five things: rice, flour, salt, mineral water, and meat.

The rest were all black, so they couldn't be bought. But at the sales place, they sold everything, though the organic stuff was more expensive.

"I see!" Xia Hua thought for a moment, "It seems you only accept natural products, and nothing harmful is allowed. It's okay if you can't buy other things, I have everything here!"

After she finished speaking, she tapped her hand in the air a few times, and then a package appeared in her arms.

"Here are steamed buns, egg pancakes... You eat first. Look at your pale face, it's obvious you haven't eaten well."

An Shuyi took the things, handed her a steamed bun, and picked one up and ate it herself. "You're one to talk! What makes you think you're any better? You're even worse than me. You're a forty-year-old widow, you should cherish your life!"

Xia Hua took a bite of her steamed bun and sighed, "If you want to travel through time, then at least find a young man. Maybe you could even sleep with a few ancient men. Look at you, you're already forty and have grandchildren."

Today, seeing the child being pulled along by her daughter-in-law, she remembered that the original owner of this body was already a mother-in-law and a grandmother!

"Forget it!" An Shuyi threw the rest into the warehouse. "You're still thinking about sleeping with men? You should think about how to survive in this world. Drought, locust plague, flood, plague, this is like Tang Sanzang going through eighty-one tribulations."

"Okay!" Xia Hua swallowed the bun in her hand in one gulp. "I'll go do another live stream right now, beat up those unfilial sons at home again, and earn money to support you."

"We'll set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll bring my unfilial son to meet you here." With that, he hurriedly left.

An Shuyi also stood up and went to the main room where they were eating. Looking at her children who were still eating, she said, "There is a drought here now. We need to leave. Pack up everything you need to pack. Don't take anything you don't need."

"Fourth brother, go find your eldest brother and ask him to bring your sister-in-law and children back. Second brother, third brother, go fetch water now, fetch as much as you can. I'm going to find your village chief uncle now and ask them what they think."

If it were just their family, then naturally there would be no need to notify them. But these are members of an entire clan. She couldn't possibly abandon them and run away to save her own life.

Moreover, a large number of people means safety, so if they encounter refugees on the road who want to rob them, they will have to think twice before robbing them.

Following the original owner's memories, they quickly arrived at the village chief's house. "Sister-in-law, what brings you here? If there's anything you need, just have the children tell me, and I'll come right over."

My sister-in-law is still injured, how did she run out? Could it be that the kids at home have caused trouble again? The more I think about it, the more I feel that's the case. Sure enough, a family can't function without a man. When the kids grow up, it's not easy for the mother to manage them.

"No need. Is the village chief home? I need to talk to him." An Shuyi asked as she was helped to sit down on a stool.

Liu shook her head, "He's not here. He went out to check the land. I'll have Gouwa call him home right now."

An Shuyi stood up. "Tell him to go directly to the clan chief, and also invite the other elders in the village. They have something to discuss." With that, she left.

If we wait for the village chief to come, we'll have to go to the clan chief's place. It's better for her to go directly there; that way, it'll save time.

Liu saw that her sister-in-law was going to the clan head. Could it be that she was going to expel the children from the clan? Otherwise, what else could happen? Well, it's good that they're expelled. Otherwise, those children would ruin the family sooner or later.

She didn't ask the children to call her husband; she went herself and even asked her husband to call the other elders. Lin Changmu thought the same as Liu Shi, assuming that his sister-in-law wanted to expel the children from the clan. However, he didn't agree with this and wanted to go to the clan leader first to persuade his sister-in-law.

But worried that he wouldn't be able to persuade her, she said, "Liu, go and invite a few elders. I'll go to the clan chief first." After saying that, she took small steps toward the clan chief's house.
