Chapter 371 Someone Is Causing Trouble
Bai Yunxi listened to her daughter's voice and felt extremely satisfied. They all said that her daughter was her mother's little cotton-padded jacket. This was indeed true.
"Don't worry about this. If Mom needs your help, why would you be polite to your daughter? Even if you want to stay out of the matter, Mom won't allow it. It's a beautiful idea."
Bai Yunxi gave her a look that seemed to be true and false, and patted her hand, finally comforting her.
Early the next morning, Xiaosi took the money and went to town.
Unfortunately, before noon, he ran back in a hurry and threw the sack on the ground.
"Mom, the price of food has increased again. It is now twenty-four cents a liter. Moreover, the news of the increase in food price has completely spread. A lot of people suddenly poured into the town, all of whom are people from the surrounding villages."
"When they heard about the rising grain prices, they all came to the grain merchants to make up for the money."
Sure enough, ginger is still hot. Fortunately, they had already predicted it yesterday, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"How can the grain dealer be willing to refund the money after finally receiving the grain?" Du Shi covered her chest and thumped in fear.
"Sister-in-law is right. The grain dealer disagrees. The two sides are already confronting each other. They might even start a fight. I see people on both sides getting red-eyed."
Xiao Si'er took a breath and truthfully described the situation in the town to everyone. The current situation was the same as the expected result.
Everyone listened and looked at each other silently, and finally all their eyes fell on Bai Yunxi.
"Mom, what should we do now?"
"Did the price of food rise too fast? It's only been one day. How could it have risen so much?"
I don’t blame everyone for making trouble, the difference is so big that no one would feel comfortable.
Seeing the whole family staring at him with longing eyes, Bai Yunxi pinched his eyebrows. The thing he feared most happened. The grain dealers had conflicts with the people. In the end, it was the people who suffered.
Every grain merchant has his or her own power behind him, whether he is from the White House or the Underworld. Without a backer, it will be difficult for a grain shop to survive.
Just when they were staring at each other, they saw a person running hurriedly on the road outside. After walking in, Baiyunxi recognized that it was Baiyunshan who had been working in the county.
"Cousin Yunxi, something big has happened. The Song Dynasty and the Tatars have begun to fight. You should prepare early."
Listening to his tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned.
"Didn't you say that the war hasn't started yet? Why did it start? I heard that food prices have increased."
"The war has started a long time ago. It's just that the news we got here was late and not accurate enough. I heard that there have been several battles. I will go back and say hello and leave first."
With that said, Baiyunshan ran away without a trace.
Everyone: "..."
Yes, things are getting serious.
At this moment, another burst of shouting was heard from the entrance of the village, accompanied by curses.
Not understanding everyone's reaction, I saw a group of people passing by his door. Someone yelled at them through the fence gate,
"Second, fourth, and fifth boys of the Bai family, hurry up and follow us. Let's go to the town to find a black-hearted grain dealer to seek justice for the big guys. The good grain was sold at a low price, and now it has more than doubled. , we suffered a big loss.”
"Yes, we people in Willow Bay have really screwed up the grain merchants. If we don't seek justice, we won't be able to survive this day."
"That's right, hurry up and get rid of this guy. This time we must fight to the end with the evil grain dealer."
