In fact, it was not Wang Shiyu who did this. She just asked someone to give Zhang Xiuli a hint, making Zhang Xiuli think that she saw a real snake. Zhou Guichun did not do anything at all. It was just that she didn't know what she thought of. No matter how cruel she was, she would not directly cut off someone's livelihood.
As far as Wang Shiyu knew, Second Aunt might never be able to hold up an embroidery stand in her lifetime. After all, her tendons and veins were injured, causing her entire left hand to become less flexible and unable to embroider at all.
Wang Yixian was not in a much better condition at the moment. He accidentally sprained his leg while chopping wood in the mountains. He lost his balance and rolled down the hillside, finally hitting a tree. Fortunately, he did not break any bones, but there was still a big bump on his foot, which made him afraid to move.
As a result, he was unable to do anything during this period and could only lie in bed with Zhang Xiuli to recuperate. Even the only healthy people left in the family were the old man and Wang Yizu. Wang Yizu was always busy serving Zhou Guichun and had no time to take care of his eldest brother's family.
Wang Shiyi has not been very happy these past two days. Not only has the food been getting worse and worse, but his mother's hand is also disabled. It seems that since the Zhangs came into the house, nothing good has happened, only disasters. He doesn't know why his uncle likes this person. How can he compare to his aunt? And his sister, he misses his sister. He doesn't want to study at home all day. He is only three years old. Who would force such a young child to read Thousand Character Classic?
The old man's side was not in a good situation either. The grain stores that had already made agreements with him now all went back on their word and even swallowed up the deposits that had been paid before on the grounds that he had contacted criminals in the court. The old man did not dare to continue to reason with these grain stores. At this time, anyone who could still open a grain store must have a strong background.
The old man couldn't afford to offend these people, so he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose. He didn't even dare to refute how he had contact with the court criminals. After all, with just a word, they could make the powerless old man die directly in the prison of Jizhou City. It was even possible that on the day he went to prison, his body would be wrapped in a torn straw mat and brought out.
The Zhang family was not having a good time either. Although they had 20,000 trained refugee soldiers, for some reason, they had been unlucky recently. It seemed that all kinds of troubles could find them. Zhou Island was a place full of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Originally, when they were training well, some people would faint inexplicably. Now, even the food supply from the Wang family was not enough. The Wang family could no longer buy food. It seemed that someone was doing this on purpose, forcing them to rebel. However, they had none of the advantages of time, place and people. If they were forced to revolt, they would most likely fail.
The weather is a little abnormal now, because the vegetable seeds and grain seeds they planted have not sprouted. It seems that the previous disasters were not illusions. You know, it is a new year now. Even if it is impossible to have a double harvest in a year, one harvest is fine. However, the seeds planted in the ground will not sprout at all. They now have to rely on sea fish to survive, but if they keep eating sea fish instead of grain, they will not have the energy to train. If they don’t train, they will not be able to revolt.
Now because the crops in the fields are not producing, the price of crops has also started to rise. Because Wang Shiyu was lazy, she rented a carriage in advance and bought a lot of crops to stockpile. At that time, fine grains were not very expensive, so she bought more. Now there is no need to follow the trend to buy crops.
It’s just that the seasonings were a bit scarce, so I bought a lot of them, not to mention the meat. Except for those raised at home, all the animals from other places started to be slaughtered, just to eat less food and leave more for others.
Wang Shiyu took this opportunity to buy a lot of half-grown chickens and ducks and threw them directly into the backyard to raise them for the time being. She also took out a lot of bran from the space for the chickens and ducks to eat.
After dealing with these survivors, she started to deal with her own affairs. Ever since the old man suddenly came, she had an idea to buy a house of her own. The house here was not hers, and the title deed was in the old man's name. If the old man used this to cause trouble, they would have no way to deal with it.
However, her current situation is a little special. Because she is too young, Wang Shiyu decided to give the newly bought house directly to Mo Ruru. Even if she is not around or something happens in the future, Mo Ruru will at least have the capital to fight against the Wang family.
In order to distance herself from the Wang family, when looking at houses, she deliberately avoided this area and looked directly towards the prosperous area in the east of the city. This way, even if Mo Ru Ru did some small business in the future, she would be able to support herself.
In this era, the biggest expense was renting a house. In fact, the money spent on food and drink was not much. As long as the weather was good, a person could spend half a tael of silver a month.
Some farmers can live for a year with just four or five taels of silver, which is enough to prove that if you save a little, there is still enough money. With the money Mo Ruru has, it is not a problem for her to live alone for a few years. In addition, with Wang Shiyu's occasional subsidies, even if Mo Ruru really leaves the Wang family, she can still live a good life, even better than being a nanny in the Wang family. After all, she has Ruirui now, and she has to live a good life.
Buying a house is not a trivial matter. Adding that it has to be registered under Mo Ru Ru's name, things become even more difficult. Since Wang Shiyu is being brought along, the real estate agents are a little tired. They have already looked at more than a dozen houses, and Wang Shiyu can find many problems with each one.
Because Wang Shiyu's requirements are relatively high, she wants a house where no one has died, and the surrounding area should be quiet and without any bad people. After all, Mo Ruru is just a weak woman who has lived in oppression for a long time, and it is easy for her to have mental problems. The neighbors must be kind people, so that when Mo Ruru gets into trouble, there will be someone to help her and support her until she comes back, just like Aunt Niu.
Because of her amnesia, Mo Ru Ru was already a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment and people around her. If she encountered neighbors who liked to bully others, it would be better for her not to buy the house.
