Chapter 376
After several days of turmoil, no one dared to come forward to find someone to settle accounts, and gradually died down. Baiyunxi has been paying attention to the situation in the village, squatting by the river to fish in his spare time, waiting for Song Wang to give She sends messages.

Speaking of this point, Bai Yunxi was a little bit dumbfounded, Song Wang's family had been arguing about selling food, and the reason was still Song Jie's school expenses, and the other two families always felt that they had suffered too much, and were unwilling.

Because of this, the delay in selling grain was a blessing in disguise.

Mentioning this point, Song Wang himself was deeply moved.

The village was settled down, and Xiao Si went to the town to inquire about the news. The boy was quick-witted and had a good relationship with Du Shun. When he was away, Du Shun helped him inquire about the news.

There was a commotion for a while, and the people in the surrounding villages also stopped, but the food price in the town increased by another penny, and finally waited for the government's order not to increase without permission.

25 Wen, temporarily stable.

Looking for an opportunity, Bai Yunxi went to the town alone, and went directly to the grain store. From afar, he saw a group of people around the grain store, some were crying and others were kneeling, only the shopkeeper Wang standing at the door had a dark face.

"Shopkeeper, I beg you, can you give us some money? I sold all my food to yours."

"Yes, there is not enough food in the family. The price of food has skyrocketed, and the price of brown rice has risen to [-] cents. If you don't make up the difference, our family will starve to death."

"You guys who run a grain store have a big family and a big business. They are different from us poor people. I beg you to be merciful. As long as there is something to eat, we will definitely not make trouble here."

Bai Yunxi stood not far away, looking at these old and weak women and children, pursing the corners of his mouth, is this another routine?

The man was repulsed, and the women and children were replaced?
Listening to these cries and looking at the patched clothes on their bodies, it is true that they are all poor people.

But, I always feel something is wrong.

There are quite a few spectators around, some pointing at the grain store, and some expressing their helplessness.

Shopkeeper Wang stood at the door of the grain shop, staring at the crying women and children on the ground with a dark face, and took a few deep breaths.

"I think you are women and children, and you can't bear to be attacked by others. If you don't know good and bad, I won't be polite... Hurry back while it's still early. The government has issued a document. The previous transaction was fair and reasonable, and there was no fraud. No matter how much trouble you make, it is impossible to make up the money."

"Besides, I'm also the shopkeeper hired by the boss. To put it bluntly, it's my servant's life. No matter how hard you make things difficult for me, I can't be the boss."

Shopkeeper Wang said, raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, and then raised his eyes, the politeness on his face disappeared.

"I kindly advise you to leave. Don't act like a woman and child. My tolerance is limited. If you really push and shove, it will be you who will suffer in the end."

As soon as shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, five or six vicious thugs rushed out from behind, each of them holding their wrists, making joints crack.

As soon as these people came out, the spectators immediately retreated a foot away, and the women and children kneeling at the door crying all turned pale with fright.

Some were timid and collapsed on the ground without even the strength to move, some covered their mouths and cried,
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

"Woooo..."

Standing by the side, Bai Yunxi looked at this posture and thought about their respective positions, feeling really helpless.

When they got together to sell grain, the price was the same as last year, but no one knew that news of a war would suddenly come out.
