Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 368: Obstacles in Buying Seeds

Grandmother Zhou rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law Zhang and said, "Superficial! If you don't plant the crops now, you will have nothing to eat in the future."

The aunt was speechless after being rebuked by her mother-in-law, so she had to lower her head and continue eating.

An Yue suddenly said, "Tomorrow, Ale, come with me to the town!"

Ale nodded and agreed.

After hearing this, the others at the table were stunned.

My sister-in-law Meng Xiuer quickly reminded her: "Yueyue, doesn't the village chief forbid us villagers to leave the village?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have already discussed it with the village chief."

After hearing what An Yue said, everyone fell silent.

The family sat together for lunch. Although the food was simple, it was full of warmth.

......

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap.

An Yue is now well and has returned to the west wing.

She sat on the small stool in front of the window, reading the letter that Gu Mingchuan had left for her.

I couldn't help but think: [I wonder what his current situation and progress are like? ]

An Yue looked at the desolate scene outside the window, and her thoughts became heavier.

She knew very well that this trip to the town to look for crop seeds would most likely result in her returning empty-handed.

But for the future of her family and the villagers, she had to go out and find out the situation.

......

The next day.

early morning.

An Yue got up early and packed up.

After the family had breakfast together, Ale put on his backpack and prepared to set off with Anyue.

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer held An Yue's hand and repeatedly warned her: "Yueyue, this time you go out is different from the past, you must be extremely careful!"

An Yue nodded: "Well, don't worry! Sister-in-law, we will be back soon."

After saying that, she and Ale turned around and walked towards the main road, heading towards the town on foot.

Along the way, An Yue was very nervous. She hadn't been to the town for a long time and had no idea what the current situation in the town was.

On the road leading to the town, it was obvious that no ox carts or horse carriages had passed by for many days. After the rain, the dry grass on the road had already come to life.

——A few minutes passed.

An Yue and A'er, each carrying a backpack, finally arrived at the entrance of the town.

From a distance, you can see traces of flooding at the entrance of the town.

They walked slowly from the entrance of the town to the main street.

As soon as I entered the main street, I saw that the shop doors on both sides of the street were closed. The whole street was flooded and looked very depressed.

An Yue recalled the streets that used to be bustling with people setting up stalls and selling goods, but now they were overgrown with weeds.

They walked slowly towards the west entrance of the town, looking around at the alleys as they walked.

All the alleys were in a mess. Some of the low-lying alleys were flooded to a height of one person.

An Yue and A'er continued walking forward and saw several people leaning against the door of a shop with high steps.

Those people looked very thin and were coughing constantly.

Ale, who was walking beside Anyue, said as he walked: "Miss, this town is so deserted now, I'm afraid we will return empty-handed."

An Yue sighed with a worried look on her face: "Yes! In such a big Shijing Town, how come no one has dug drainage ditches?"

Ale pointed to the alley where farm tools were sold and said, "Miss, look at that alley. You can tell at a glance that a lot of shops are flooded."

They kept walking along the main street and found that even the drugstore was closed.

An Yue and A'er walked on the deserted streets, trying to find a shop selling crop seeds.

However, after walking for a long time, there was no family in sight.

Ale took off the bamboo tube filled with water from his waist, drank a sip of water and said, "Miss, it seems that our hope is really slim this time."

An Yue bit her lip and said firmly, "Let's keep looking! Maybe we can find it."

They continued walking, passing through the alley where farm tools were sold and coming to several shops that used to sell crop seeds.

I found a shop with its door half-open.

Suddenly, An Yue was delighted. She hurried over and gently opened the door.

The shop was filled with a damp and moldy smell, and an old man was dozing off behind the counter.

An Yue asked: "Boss, do you have any crop seeds here?"

The old man opened his cloudy eyes, looked at An Yue and A'er, and said slowly: "Yes, there are, but not many, and the price is not cheap."

An Yue and A'er looked at each other, both surprised and happy.

An Yue asked again: "Boss, what seeds do you have?"

The old man slowly stood up, opened the lid of the large jar, pointed to a few bulging cloth bags, and said, "There is only this half jar of corn seeds left. One bag costs one tael of silver."

An Yue frowned. This price was really beyond their expectations.

She put down the backpack, picked up a cloth bag, opened it and looked at the seeds.

The grains look full and there is no problem with the drying and color.

The old man quickly said, "Don't worry, young lady. There is nothing wrong with this seed."

He pointed to the other large urns in the corner and said, "There were eight large urns in this shop before, and these are stacked up."

"The urns at the bottom were all flooded, only the ones at the top were fine."

An Yue nodded in understanding.

"The others have been sold out, and now these are the only ones left."

Thinking about my future livelihood, I decided to buy it first.

"Boss, you don't have much left. If we buy all of them, can you give us a discount?" An Yue tried to bargain with the old man.

The old man shook his head, spread his hands and complained: "Little girl, you can see that my loss is also very heavy! Besides, in this world, it's good to have seeds."

An Yue had no choice but to take out her purse from her arms, count out the corresponding amount of silver, and buy all the corn seeds.

Just as An Yue and A'er were about to leave with their backpacks on their backs, the old man suddenly called out, "Little girls, I advise you to leave the town quickly. I heard that the town is not very peaceful recently!"

An Yue and A Le looked at each other, and she turned back to thank him, "Thank you for the reminder, boss."

As they walked, Ale said, "I see, that's why we don't see many people!"

"The more disasters there are, the more rampant the bandits become. Let's hurry back to the village!"

"Yeah, okay miss."

Then the two of them quickened their pace and rushed to the entrance of the town.

......

As soon as An Yue and A'er walked to the main street, they saw two people standing guard at the entrance of the town.

An Yue quickly pulled A'le to the door of the shop and squatted down, saying, "I'm afraid our return to the village won't be smooth."

Ale asked nervously, "Miss, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid. You wait here first. I'll go over and take a look at the situation."

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go, Miss." A'le pulled An Yue's arm.

An Yue said seriously:
