古代闺秀被强高H

Her family stayed with us and they all ate food from our pot! Ah just thinking about it makes me angry, my mother said that one who eats from the pot of someone should be grateful to their benefactor but never did I think that the Lin family would be this disgusting."

" It\'s all right," Yu Dong could see that Chen Mi was really angry and could only placate him for the time being. " Don\'t say anything harsh to the Lin family for the time being and stay away from them. I will send a few mammies to keep guard at their house under the pretext that the times are harsh now."

It soothed Chen Mi\'s heart a little but he still huffed and said, " I am not going to hand the Lin family even a single eggplant from now on, that Old Master Lin always came to ask for this and that while saying that we are from one village and yet he went back to backstab us like this, if that\'s the case then I might as well turn him away!"

" As long as you are happy," Yu Dong did not want to say anything about the household affairs, she would leave the matters of the house to her husbands while dealing with the outside affairs. She then turned to look at the frowning Shen Li and Ye Liu before changing the topic, " Where is Ah Chi? I did not see him when I came back."

" Ah Chi went to look for his uncle, did you not say that you wanted to grow peanuts and soybeans? Along with some tea? His uncle\'s family grows them in their village and since no one buys those things, their village has a lot of leftovers, so Ah Chi said that he would go and bring some with him," Shen Li replied as he sat down on the couch and then sighed.

" I told him that he should send a few mammies since the village is far from here but he stubbornly persisted saying that it was better for him to go and see his uncle, lest his uncle thinks that he is looking down on him."

Though Fang Chi\'s uncle who was married to another village did not kick him when he was down, he did not help him either. Their relationship was that of seawater and well water, they did not mix into one another\'s life and went on their own way.

However, these days it was getting harder to get hold of seeds as the government shops were getting closed one by one and though Yu Dong had many connections those were the last option. Since she had opened an oil mill, she wanted to add peanut oil on the shopping mall shelves as well which would be cheaper than rice bran oil and much more time-saving.

As for soybeans, she wanted to open a processing department and start selling tofu along with meat and other food products.

When Yu Dong heard that Fang Chi went to look for peanut and soybean seeds, her heart softened and she could not help but sigh, " He should not have bothered, since his uncle is such a small-hearted person. It\'s better not to engage with him, I am afraid that Ah Chi would be troubled."

Ye Liu and Shen Li thought so too but it was a matter of time before the other villages stopped selling things as well thus they could only take the opportunity in front of them.

" I will also go to the market and see what I can purchase," seeing that even her husbands were working hard, Yu Dong did not dare to slack off. She went to the town and immediately went to exchange the gold taels that she took from the Wang family for silver because the amount was not large and no one paid attention to her.

She headed inside the town and sure enough, did not see anything being sold, grains and sugar seemed to have vanished and there was no one selling except for the shop opened by Magistrate Li.

A sigh escaped her lips as she headed straight to the livestock market, since there were no grains she might as well buy livestock for the mountain. The Chen family had sent word that they would be coming soon, so elder sister Chen could take care of these livestock.

With that thought in mind, Yu Dong felt her head throb. She really wanted to wait but given how the town was getting emptier by the day, she might not even find anything by the time the Chen family arrived. She sighed and then went inside the livestock market and when she came out she was leading two pairs of oxen, two goats and two baskets of chicken and dusks.

She placed the baskets of chicken and ducks inside the carriage while she asked the mammy to tie the oxen and goats to the carriage such that they would not run amok.

She even asked the mammy to drive the carriage slowly lest these livestock died.

These pair of oxen and goats were really thin, Yu Dong had fed them spiritual water but she could see that if they were forced to run, they would die right away.
