Chapter 437 Strange thing

s

Author: Yan Zhi

"Brother, do you know what's going on?"

"How could I know? But this year it's very evil, and some strange things are spreading everywhere."

Chen Xing shook his head, with a little doubt in his tone.

Some people in the village said that it was because of the man who did too many bad things that angered God, which led to frequent strange events around him.

"Is that true..." Chen Yuntian frowned, his heart thrust and couldn't say what was going on.

He always felt that these things were not right.

With something in mind, he was not a reckless person, so he only sent two letters back to Yancheng.

One is a letter to He Xiu, saying that he had to move back when he went back, and the other is a letter to Chen Wenchen, which only talked about Xie Jiang’s strange things.

My brother and sister-in-law are still here, so he can't just leave.

Chen Yuntian wandered around Xiejiang City for two times before finally returning home and told his plans to his brother and sister-in-law.

There is a wharf in the south of Xiejiang City. There are countless boats coming and going every day, but there are few shops on the wharf. In the past few days, he has also found that many people working on the wharf have to walk a piece every day to eat. Although some restaurants can be delivered, one serving costs two cents more. Many people either bring some dry food to eat, or they work hard to travel a little longer every day.

If they could set up a stall next to the dock to sell their rice, they wouldn't say how much they could earn, but they would definitely not be much worse.

"Yuntian, are you saying true?" Because of worrying about his wife, Chen Yuan has been working with the landlords in the village. Not only does he have a lot of work every day, but he is always bullied by the elderly inside.

That's all, but the monthly salary will be deducted under various excuses.

If what Yuntian said really works, he really wants to give it a try.

"Of course, I went to ask. There are stalls on the dock that can be rented. Now most people from outsiders have brought some things. We can also rent a land and sell food."

"But how much does that cost?"

Wan was a little hesitant. She wanted to make money, but the family didn't have much money, and it was a bit embarrassing to let her man sell these things. But if she and her younger brothers and sisters were asked to go, she was afraid that someone would be pointed at.

After all, a woman is doing business outside...

"I asked, the rent for a day is 20 cents, but as long as I rent it, there will be someone to protect it, and there is no need to worry about someone coming to cause trouble. I have calculated that the daily wages of those workers can be 60 cents, and the small restaurants around me can be filled with nine cents, and there can be a meat dish and some vegetarian dishes.

We can sell it for 8 cents. Although the rice price is not expensive now, people who do physical work also have a big appetite. We can steam some steamed buns and sell them together with rice. One portion can make a penny. As long as there are more people, we will not make less money every day."

Xiao Liu was a little moved.

After all, because of her health, the whole family accommodated her. Although she was a little poor and couldn't do any heavy work, she could still do something to cook at a stall.

And what my brother-in-law said makes sense, and she also wants to give it a try.

"Sister-in-law, let's try it!"

Xiao Liu's eyes were all affirmation, and there was a rare look on his thin face.

In the future, children in the family will always have money to use, and they cannot rely on their brother-in-law to provide relief. If their brother-in-law has not yet married and have children, they cannot be a burden.

"My brother and sister..." Wan was also a little moved when she saw her like this.

It would be fake to say that she doesn't want to make money.

My own man works in the Xu family's village and can get some money back every month, but the children at home are still studying, and buying some books, paper, pens and ink is a big expense. My own Niu Niu is now eight years old. Although she is learning skills, she has to prepare some dowry for her.

I work hard in the fields every day, and the annual harvest is only enough for the whole family to eat for four or five months after 30% of the rented land.

She also wants to go for a gamble.

My brother-in-law said that there are many women in Yancheng doing business, so what are they afraid of?

The sisters-in-law made up their minds, and Chen Xing and Shen Yuan didn't say much.

Chen Yuan simply quit the landlord's work and accompanied his wife and sister-in-law to the city to buy things and inquire about the situation every day.

Chen Wenchen in Yancheng frowned as he looked down at the letter Chen Yuntian sent.

News has also been heard from his subordinates recently.

Some strange things are spreading everywhere among the people.

Either the well water in a village turned black for no reason, or the woods on the mountain died in patches, and there were ghost fires that popped up at night and the rays of light that broke out in the sky...

Now the fields are the most fertile in the river, and there is another strange thing that fertile fields will not grow...

When Nanzhi entered the study, she saw Chen Wenchen staring at the letter paper on the table with his brows frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"What's wrong?"

Putting down the chicken soup in his hand, Nanzhi also sat beside him.

"How do you come out and see? The weather is cold, don't freeze you." He held her hand and felt the cold temperature. Chen Wenchen rebuked.

"I see you can't come out, so I'm worried about you." Nanzhi smiled, pulled out her hand and pushed the chicken soup at him.

"This is the chicken soup I asked the kitchen to stew you specially, and drink some warmth."

"I don't have much appetite." Chen Wenchen sighed, trying to touch Nanzhi's slightly raised abdomen, but was worried that his hands were too heavy, so he had to give up.

"Is there another news coming from somewhere?" Nanzhi felt a little distressed when he saw that he was blue and black.

A month ago, news came from Kyoto, saying that something had changed in the palace, and General Song only sent news to make them pay special attention.

After all, Yancheng is so important that other places cannot compare.

"No, it was sent back by Yuntian."

"Is he going to come back?"

"We have to move backwards. He said something strange happened in Xiejiang, and nothing planted in the ground could survive."

Chen Wenchen rubbed his eyebrows, and felt his temples rushing.

"Enjoy the Jiang?" Nanzhi only felt her eyelids twitching, and she had some bad premonition.

Xiejiang is the granary of Xia Kingdom. Seventy percent of the food eaten by the people of Xia Kingdom is produced in Xiejiang. If something goes wrong with the land there...

"Well, he found it strange, so he was going to stay there for more days."

"Wen Chen, could it be because of me?"

Nanzhi pursed her lips and asked her questions.

The drought and famine escape were because the plot wanted to get rid of itself, but what about now?

But she is just a little transparent, and now she is even far away from the male and female protagonists...

"No, Nannan, don't think too much." Chen Wenchen saw his wife's concern and just hugged the person gently into his arms.

"These things will happen in this world, whether you have or not, and this world is about to collapse."

Chen Wenchen's eyes were deep, making people unable to see what he was thinking.

This world is already accelerating its collapse, but what is this for?

Where did that senior and Xiao He go?
