Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 135 135 The Butterfly Effect
Based on Mu Yu's understanding of Wen Wang, something big must have happened outside.

Mu Yu hurriedly followed Wen Wang out of the room, and was stunned when he saw the situation in the inn lobby.

There are many people in the inn.

This is not a problem. There were estimated to be 100 people crowded during the food exchange yesterday, and there are usually 30 to [-] people who stay here sporadically.

There are twenty or thirty people in the lobby of the inn, half of them are women, ranging in age from five to six years old to more than 30 years old.

It was the first time Mu Yu saw so many women in the town.

These women all looked at her the first moment she appeared, or rather, they all looked at the scar on her face. Obviously, they used this to recognize people.

A man who sat and talked with yesterday afternoon came forward and said,

"Miss Mu took in a girl yesterday. No, those who came today are also hard-working people. Is there any shortage of daughter-in-law?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the women started talking one after another, saying things like "give us a way out", "accept it", "have pity on us".

Mu Yu was silent for a while, and realized that this was the butterfly effect brought about by accepting Erniang Wei yesterday.

There must be a lack of daughter-in-law, not only women, but also men.

But it's a bit too much to make it like this.

These people looked like they were unwilling to leave without achieving their goals, as if as long as she said no, someone would immediately kneel down and beg her.

She knew that this was instigated by someone with a heart, otherwise what happened yesterday afternoon would not have turned into what it is now in just one night.

Surprisingly, it wasn't all bad for her.

They want food, she wants people.

It can even be called a win-win situation.

"Come back with us, maybe you will live in the mountains all your life and work hard all year round. Are you really willing?"

"As long as we can eat, we are willing!"

"We can work! As long as there is a way out!"

Mu Yu didn't know, what they said was from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't care, and couldn't care what kind of man they were, as long as they could support their families.

In a good year, appearance and age may be considered, but in this bad year, it is still a fart. Those who have a stutter are good people.

Seeing that each of them was more determined than the other, Mu Yu said helplessly,
"Since everyone is willing, let's stay first.

But let me put my ugly words first, those who are not willing, those who are not sincere, those who like to make trouble, we don't want it. "

The man laughed immediately,
"Don't worry, they are all honest people, and there is no such thing as unruly.

There are really such bad intentions, not to mention Miss Mu is unwilling, and we don't want her to tarnish the reputation of Yuanshan Town! "

At this point, Mu Yu was too lazy to say anything, and turned around to order Song Gao and Mrs. Wu to confirm and record the situation of these people, while she sat on the side table with the man who spoke for these women and waited for the result.

Mu Yu has a little impression of this man, but not much.

I don't remember his name, but I only remember that his surname is also Sun. I don't know what it has to do with Sun Er who led them the way before. He looks a little younger than Sun Er, so I will call him Sun San for the time being.

Sun San bought food from her twice, one time for thirty catties, and one time for ten catties. He was not very talkative and had no sense of presence.

I didn't expect that it was because I didn't like to talk, but because I didn't find a suitable opportunity, I kept holding back and played a big game for her.

"How did you come up with the idea to do this?"

Mu Yu asked him.

"Girl, don't be angry with Sun Mou, and Sun Mou has no choice but to do it this time, it's all for survival."

"Okay, just be direct, I'm not angry."

"It was inspired by Lao Wei yesterday.

To tell you the truth, before the famine, my grandson's family was considered a big family in the town, with a lot of property shops and many relatives.

It's a pity that they are not as well-prepared as other people, and they began to lose after more than a year of drought.

There are many farms and shops in my family, but no one buys these things in drought years, and even if there are, they are some ambitious businessmen.

A house that can sell for 40 to [-] taels all year round is only willing to give out [-] catties of grain, which is not the good grain from the girl's place, but old grain that is about to go moldy.

This was just over two years of drought, but in the past six months, the price has changed to twenty catties. "

Sun San smiled bitterly,

"In the beginning, everyone was very angry and ignored these unscrupulous businessmen, but later, they all compromised...

But what good is compromise?

How long can a family and servants eat thirty catties of grain?How many houses and shops can a family have in exchange for food?

I have a rich family background, so I have survived until now, but not many of my relatives and friends have survived.

I used to have the temperament like shopkeeper Qian who can make troubles..."

Mu Yu knew that he was complaining and playing the emotional card, but seeing that it would take some time for Mrs. Wu Wenwang to go there, she patiently listened to him.

It's not in vain, and I also found out that there is a business to do in real estate and house shops.

The price Lao Sun said was too cheap, even one-tenth of an ordinary year's price was enough, only a few dozen catties of grain.

Now she is not short of gold and silver, let alone food. Naturally, the property and houses are cheap and she has to buy a few more sets. In the future, she will also have a foothold in the town. It is not convenient to always stay in the Li's Inn.

"No one thought that this drought could last for three years. The last time this kind of severe drought was more than a hundred years ago, it was too late to realize this.

In the past, many relatives and friends starved to death. Although I wanted to help relatives, friends and family members, I was only better than them, and I didn't have much spare power.

Although the grain will mature in another one or two months, at least some harvests will be harvested, but some people can no longer sustain it.

The family property has long been sold, the family members are sick and unable to work, and have no money to buy grain...

Just look at the fields planted in the town and you will know, only one or two tenths of the fields have been planted, so what can be done?

People who have no way to live still have no way to live.

So, I want to find a way for them to survive. "

Mu Yu was speechless, "What kind of way of living is this?"

"This is not a way of life. Girls have food to eat when they get married. Their families can survive if they have less food and more food. Maybe they will survive..."

Mu Yu is too lazy to talk about this with people who disagree with the ancient three views, even though she understands that it is indeed the best choice from his standpoint.

Wen Wang and Pozi Wu had already finished what she ordered and came over to report the situation to her.

"A total of eleven girls, four under the age of ten and seven in their teens.

Everyone in their family said yes, but I saw that there were only five girls and their families who had made up their minds.

I told them that there is not much food left this time, and I am afraid that thirty catties will not be enough, and twenty catties may be okay. Two girls hesitated, and one refused on the spot. "

The food brought out this time is indeed not much left, and after excluding the food to be eaten on the way back, there is only thirty to fifty catties left.

There is food in Muyu Space, and it is not impossible to do private transactions. The problem is that this time, the target of getting food from it is too big, so it is difficult to explain.

However, getting some money is not a problem.
