Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 103 103. Food shortage
Even if Chen Wang's objected again, Chen Erniu would still arrange the purchase of grain.

Money is dead, but man is alive.The living can't starve to death with money in their arms, can they?As long as this difficulty is overcome, Chen Erniu feels that money can still be earned again.

It's a pity that the price of grain is one day, and Chen Erniu's family bought 70 taels of silver, but in the end they only bought back less than two thousand catties of brown rice.

Seeing that his granary was full, Chen Erniu finally let go of his heart, and his health gradually recovered.

However, so much food is not bought back for everyone to eat, it is prepared by Chen Erniu for paying the "field mu tax" in the second half of the year.

Chen Erniu directly locked the granary, and put the key next to him.

Chen Erniu only brought out three catties of rice every day, and ordered Chen Wang to cook only porridge every day, so as to save some food.

There was a shortage of food in the family, and Chen Wang looked at the children and children of the family with green eyes.

If it weren't for the fear of being poked in the back, Chen Wang would have sold all his granddaughters, and the money sold would be bought as grain and stored.Thirty cents a catty of brown rice!When Chen Wang came to cook, he felt his heart was bleeding.

When it was meal time, Mrs. Chen Wang personally scooped up the porridge for everyone.

Mrs. Chen was eccentric at first, and the gruel that Mrs. Chen scooped up for everyone was of different thicknesses.

The Chen Erniu couple and their two sons had a half bowl of dry porridge, and the grandchildren had half a bowl of slightly thinner porridge. In the hands of the two daughters-in-law Jin Cuicui, Wang Laidi, and Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Xiaozhi, the granddaughters, there was only half a bowl of porridge. Water, not even a few grains of rice in it.

Chen Xiaoyu was so angry that she wanted to scold her mother.

Chen Xiaoyu bought a second yard in Changzhou County, the environment is very quiet.If it wasn't for Jin Cuicui's persistent refusal to leave the Chen family, Chen Xiaoyu really wanted to take Jin Cuicui out alone.

However, Chen Xiaoyu was a little unwilling to ask Chen Xiaoyu to use grain to subsidize the Chen Wang family.

Chen Erniu refused to listen to Chen Daniu's advice, which not only brought disaster to Jin Cuicui's dowry field, but also put the Chen family in a difficult situation.

Even if Chen Xiaoyu wants to clean up the mess for Chen Erniu, now is not the time.

Only by making Chen Erniu anxious and embarrassing, will he learn a profound lesson, and he will not do things his own way in the future.

Chen Xiaoyu's glazed cup has a lot of food, so she doesn't worry about being hungry.Even Jin Cuicui and Chen Xiaoyu couldn't starve her.

But Chen Xiaozhi, Chen Xiaoye, and the others couldn't do it anymore, they were all hungry, scratching their hearts and lungs, Chen Xiaoyu looked uncomfortable!
Chen Xiaoyu gave roasted sweet potatoes to Chen Xiaozhi a few times, but Chen Xiaozhi refused to accept them after receiving them twice.

Chen Wang swears and curses at home every day, and Chen Xiaozhi also knows that food is expensive now!Grandma is right, if you can save a little bit, it’s a little bit!Just starve to death.

"Grandma, we should be able to harvest part of the sweet potatoes in our field. Let's dig some and cook them with porridge today!" Chen Xiaoyu finally couldn't help suggesting after a few days.

If this continues, Chen Xiaoyu is afraid that Chen Xiaozhi and the sisters will starve to death.

"What kind of sweet potatoes are you digging? Don't bring bad people with your greed. The big guys in the village haven't dug sweet potatoes yet! If you put them in the ground and grow them, you can get a lot of harvest!" Chen Wang squinted his eyes, scolded.

The remaining two mu of land is the last hope of Chen Erniu and his family.In the past few days, Chen Erniu and Chen Qingshi ran to the sweet potato field every day, fearing that something would happen to the remaining two acres of land.

"Grandma, please, give me some pancakes! Otherwise, I can give you a spoonful of sugar." Chen Xiaoe said tremblingly, clutching her stomach in hunger.

Since Jia Yinhua was dismissed, Chen Xiaoe's life has been turned upside down compared to before.

In the past, Chen Xiaoe was surrounded by Jia Yinhua, so she could be lazy in doing things.When I meet Jia Yinhua cooking, I can steal something good.

What now?Chen Xiaoe fed all the pigs in the family, and Chen Xiaoe washed the clothes of Dafang's family.

Chen Xiao'e was busy all day long, she didn't have much time to spare, but she ate as much as Chen Xiaozhi and her sisters.

The Chen Xiaozhi sisters are only responsible for feeding the chickens at home, and their workload is much smaller than that of Chen Xiaoe.And there is Wang Laidi protecting her.Besides, Chen Xiao'e was two years older than Chen Xiaozhi, and it was time for her body to grow, so she would be hungry within half an hour after drinking the half bowl of clear soup-like porridge.

"What are you going to eat? Little girl, who stays at home all day, do you need to eat so much food?" Chen Wang scolded.

As long as Chen Wang thinks of the brown rice that costs more than 30 yuan a catty in his family, when cooking porridge every day, he can't wait to count the rice grains.

The candy that Chen Daniu gave to Chen Erniu's family, Chen Wang's had already taken it to his room and locked it up.

Chen Xiao'e asked Chen Wang what she wanted to eat, it's no wonder Chen Wang didn't scold her.

"My brother and the others eat so much without doing anything! They can eat half-dried food for a meal. I have to feed pigs and wash clothes every day. Grandma, it's not fair at all for you to give me such a small amount of food." Chen Xiaoe said With a crying voice, argue with reason.

"Unfair? Hmph~! When the family encounters difficulties, it is already a great kindness for me, a nurse, not to sell the pictures of you little girls. Want to be treated the same as the boys? Chi~! Unless you die early and reincarnate early, Just be a boy in the next life." Chen Wang said angrily.

Chen Xiao'e was so angry that she didn't dare to talk back to Chen Wang, so she dragged her heavy legs and walked out the door.

Chen Xiaoe was going to find her grandfather and uncle.

Jia's family has two acres of land, where they grow sweet potatoes.Chen Xiao'e wanted to go to her uncle's house to have a full meal.

Chen Wang didn't stop either.

With such a situation at home, Chen Wang hopes that his grandchildren can go to grandpa's house to have more meals!
Chen Xiaoyu also went out.

Chen Xiaoyu was looking for Chen Daniu.

Such days, Chen Xiaoyu was very upset.Chen Xiaoyu would rather let Chen Daniu come forward, lend money to Chen Erniu, or lend food to Chen Erniu.Anyway, she didn't want to see such a mess in the house anymore.

Chen Xiao'e went to Jia's family, and she was kicked out by her aunt He Xiaohua just as soon as she said what she wanted to do.

"Let's go, Miss Jiao from a rich family, I'm afraid you don't know how expensive food is now? Our family is starving to death, where can I have extra food for you?" He Xiaohua said cursingly. .

"Auntie, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry, please give me something to eat, just one bite is enough." Chen Xiao'e grabbed the door frame and refused to leave.

"There is no rice at home, only sweet potato vines. Also, you are no longer the granddaughter of our Jia family, so don't come here anymore." He Xiaohua pushed Chen Xiao'e mercilessly.

Jia Yinhua has already been expelled by Jia Da, and Chen Erniu's family is about to be ruined, so He Xiaohua doesn't care about Chen Xiao'e's life or death!

Chen Xiao'e was pushed and fell by He Xiaohua, and it took a long time for her to get up.

Looking at the scratched hands, Chen Xiao'e burst into tears.

Why?Why did these people treat her like this?
