Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 133 133 Do you want a daughter-in-law?

Mu Yu thought, he can go to the treasurer Qian later when all the people are gone, and bring some grain from the ox cart, most of it from the space, pretending that it was left for him secretly, the treasurer Qian is very sensible. Will make a fuss.

At that time, she will get a large amount of jade and treasures, and the shopkeeper Qian will get the food she wants, and everything will be happy.

It will take some time for all these people to leave. If you rush people away, there is a high probability that it will cause dissatisfaction and even have a negative effect.

What's wrong with just staying in the inn? Isn't the inn owned by her family?
It was still early, and Mu Yu was not in a hurry, so he chatted with a few familiar people and asked them about the recent situation in Yuanshan Town.

This inquiring really made her inquire about something interesting.

"You don't know yet, do you? The emperor asked the goddess to pray for rain. The goddess begged for the two previous rains. There will be another rain in a few days. We are saved!"

Of course Mu Yu wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, what begging for rain?What goddess?Eighty percent of it was made up by the emperor to fool the people to consolidate the rule.

But what the man said was true, and many people echoed it, and they also gave a lot of supporting evidence, such as the envoy with the token, and the old mayor's approval.

But here in Muyu, at most, it can prove that this is not made up by the locals. As for whether there are really goddesses who can ask for rain, it remains to be verified.

But she turned to think of the Mustard Dimension, and suddenly felt that it was not impossible for something as heaven-defying as the Mustard Dimension to exist, and for Goddesses to exist.

Mu Yu was thinking about the Goddess Laoshizi, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dirty, hunchbacked man approaching her.

The previous crowd had almost dispersed, except for those who sat talking with her and those who drank and ate at other tables, there were only a few sporadic outsiders in the inn.

This man just appeared, and she immediately became vigilant.

Anything can be done by a famished man in such a time of famine.

Although there is Mrs. Wu with extraordinary force to protect her, she never entrusts her safety to others.

But soon she relaxed, because she found that behind this decadent man was holding a timid and thin girl in her teens, who seemed to be his daughter.

Generally, if you are crazy and want to hurt people or grab things, you usually don't bring children who are useless and get in the way.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some vicious people will use young children to distract everyone, regardless of whether the children are dead or alive.

The other thing she ruled out as a threat was that some of the people at the table had spoken to the man, who had grown up in the town, and the girl was indeed his daughter.

"Old Wei, take your Erya out to buy food?"

A man who had talked to Mu Yu earlier asked.

This old Wei's family has always been poor and cowardly, he would never come to the inn at all, the reason why this man knew Lao Wei was because the two lived close to each other.

Lao Wei forced a smile that wasn't a smile as a reply, then looked at Mu Yu, pulled his daughter together and knelt down in front of her with a plop.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the well-informed old lady Wu standing behind Mu Yu guessed that she was probably here to beg for food, and she brought the child to pretend to be pitiful and hope to beg more.

If this is an ordinary year, it's fine, a few catties of food is nothing, just give it.

But the problem is that this is not an ordinary year. Although there have been several rains, it is still a disaster year before the newly planted crops grow.

When Mrs. Wu came, she received Wang's order to help Mu Yu solve her troubles, so she spoke before the kneeling old Wei,

"If you want to ask for food, don't open your mouth, we won't give it.

It's not that we are unfeeling, it has been such a rule all these years. "

It is a big taboo to expose food and wealth in a calamity year. If you don't have any strength and luck, you may lose your life at some point.

The situation in Yuanshan Town doesn't look that bad, but it's definitely not that good. Human nature can't stand temptation.

It was foreseeable that as long as they donated a morsel of food to the old guard today, at least tomorrow half the town would kneel outside the inn with their children and elderly people begging for alms.

Isn't it pitiful?

After a disaster year, who is not pitiful?
At that time, it will turn into a tragic competition. After the competition, this group of people will not disperse, but will force them to "donate food", or even come to grab it directly.

At that time, a dozen or so of them will be no match for dozens or hundreds of hungry and crazy people.

The famine has been going on for so long, they should all understand the invalid rules of begging.

The old Wei knelt down and was about to kowtow, but was stopped by this sentence, kowtowed or not, and finally raised his face and gave an embarrassed smile.

"We save rules, save."

Someone was talking at the table,
"Old Wei, you know the rules, why are you still playing around?

Miss Mu is a distinguished guest of the old mayor and also our friend, so I can't let you mess around. "

Some people also looked thoughtfully at the girl behind the old guard who was wearing a faded red dress and a red hair tie, and said nothing.

Mu Yu looked back and forth between Lao Wei and his daughter, and then frowned, as if she had guessed what Lao Wei was here for.

"I'm not here to beg, I'm here to ask, do you want a wife?
My daughter is getting older, and it's time to find someone to marry. I saw that there are young guys here, so I wanted to ask...

If the young man does not lack a wife, he can marry a widower, as long as he gives dozens of catties of grain as a bride price..."

The more Lao Wei talked, the more confident he became, and finally he lowered his head and remained silent.

Mu Yu remained expressionless, but the other people present didn't react, instead they had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Obviously this kind of thing happened so many times in the town that it was commonplace in their eyes.

Or rather, it has been like this since ancient times.

"It turns out that's true. Indeed, marrying into Miss Mu's village is a good marriage."

"However, your girl is a little young."

"It's not small, and it's not that there are no smaller ones."

"Haha that's true."

Perhaps it was the talk of these people that gave Lao Wei a little confidence, he secretly raised his head to see Mu Yu's reaction.

The person who connected him had emphasized that the leader of this group of outsiders was a young girl with red scars all over her face, and told him to act according to this girl's face and not to offend others.

When he met the girl's eyes, he couldn't help trembling, he was very frightened, knowing that something was wrong, he cried poorly with a trembling voice,
"We really can't survive, there are old and young in the family, and if we don't think about it, the whole family will starve to death.

Regardless of how small she is, she is already twelve years old, so she is easy to raise, and she can give birth to a baby after one and a half years of raising her. Her mother gave birth to five babies for me in a row.

Please do your best to give her a way to survive and accept her.

You have food, she has a way of living with you, we also need some food, we have food to eat, and we can last until the food matures. "
