As I was wearing it quickly, the little fish flew away

Chapter 149: The Grandmother-in-law Does Not Make Trouble

"Hey! You are thoughtful, girl. However, my aunt came to the capital city for something this time, and she is staying at the home of my maternal relatives. I don't want to cause trouble for them. If you want to find my aunt, you have to come back after you return to the village. We have bought the things, so we will leave first." When Yu Xiaoyu saw the eldest son and the second son loading the last bag of grain onto the ox cart, he hurriedly pulled his son and drove the ox cart away.

The heroine looked at the ox cart going away, feeling a little disappointed. She turned around and walked slowly towards the market.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking were heard one after another. The heroine strolled among the crowd, but her thoughts had already flown far away.

She remembered that when the original owner was a child, Aunt Yu often secretly gave her some food, otherwise the original owner would have starved to death. Even Aunt Yu's brothers and sisters would help her when she was too busy.

As she walked, the heroine came to a cloth shop. She saw a piece of beautiful cloth hanging in the shop, and her eyes lit up.

The heroine walked into the store and carefully stroked the cloth. The soft touch made her heart beat fast. She imagined that she could make a new dress with this cloth, which must look very beautiful when she wore it.

"Girl, do you like this fabric? It's a new arrival in our store. The color and texture are very good." The owner greeted enthusiastically.

The hostess nodded, "Yeah, it's really good. But... is it expensive?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "It's not expensive. If you really like it, I can give you a discount."

The woman was delighted. She didn't expect the shop owner to be so straightforward. So she happily bought the cloth and left the shop.

Holding the cloth, the heroine was in a good mood. She decided to get a dress tailored for herself after returning home. As she walked on the road, she couldn't help humming a little tune, and her steps became lighter.

Now that she is no longer oppressed by Wang and others, she has money and a house in her hands. After all, she is a modern and domineering female president and can live a good life.

As soon as Yu Xiaoyu got home, he couldn't wait to find his elder brother. "Brother, when I went to the grain store to buy grain just now, I found that the price of coarse grains that used to be 8 cents a pound has now risen to 12 cents a pound, and the supply is still insufficient to meet the demand! Brother, I think the north must be in turmoil, and the temperature this year is abnormal. When it is hot, it takes a long time before it rains. Now it is snowing so heavily, and it has been snowing for more than half a month. Look at the snow in our yard, someone clears it every day, and it is still more than a foot thick. Maybe there will be a snowstorm this year."

Yu Xiaoyu pulled his elder brother to the window, pointed at the snow in the yard and the servants who were clearing the snow from the corridor, and said, "Brother, since you are only a scholar and not an official, you should come with us to the south! Besides, the Tartars in the north are restless this year, and there is a possibility of a snowstorm. I think the south is the safest place."

Brother Yu frowned after hearing what his sister said. He also realized that the situation might not be good. But as a scholar, he had his own responsibilities and ambitions and could not leave easily.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Xiao Yu, I understand your worries, but I can't just abandon everything and flee to the south. I believe the court will take measures to deal with the disaster, and I will stay here and do my best to help the people. Besides, it's hard to leave my hometown. I'm already half buried in the soil, and I don't want to leave. After all, fallen leaves return to their roots! This is my root."

Yu Xiaoyu stamped his feet anxiously, "Brother, I know you are responsible, but lives are at stake!"

Brother Yu patted Yu Xiaoyu on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. Let's prepare first and store more food and supplies. If the situation really deteriorates, we can consider other ways. I will protect myself and my family."
