Yu Dong's eyes flashed, she has never met or heard about her in-laws from Shen Li and Ye Liu, it was enough to let her know that they did not have good feelings towards their family, if they were to come here and ask for money then …hehe, forget about getting the money they might get her punches instead!
" I understand Aunt Wang, don't worry I will try to keep a good lookout around myself and make sure that no one creates trouble for me and my husbands," Yu Dong told Aunt Wang as the carriage stopped in front of her. " But for now let us go to the town and get the daily necessities that we need before our fellow villagers take it all away."
Aunt Wang wanted to refuse but then she thought about how she will have to make two and three rounds if she was to refuse Yu Dong's help more importantly she has seen Yu Dong's carriage it was bigger than a small shed and could easily fit at least a few hundred catties of grains which were why she agreed and followed Yu Dong inside the carriage, " I just hope that the conditions in the town won't be that bad."
The conditions in the town however were just as bad as they could be, when Yu Dong and Aunt Wang arrived in the town, they saw that the shopkeepers of grains shops have now acquired a completely different status than they usually did in the town. Even though the grains in their shops were far lesser than what Yu Dong saved in her space, they were selling even a single metre of rice was being sold for more than five taels!
"It's a good thing that I came prepared," Aunt Wang commented from the side as she watched the guards of the grains shops kicking those out who did not have enough money from the lines that were in front of the shops. "If not then I would have definitely been kicked out just like that."
Yu Dong looked at the harshness of the shopkeepers and was suddenly reminded of the harshness that she met under the hands of the team leader of a safety zone. They too were like this, before the arrival of any team they were given enough grains by the government but they would still pretend that they did not have money or grains and then they would bully honest officers like Yu Dong to kill more zombies such that they will get more cores to power up after eating them.
The core of a zombie was inside the head of the moving corpse and it was really hard to extricate, only Yu Dong knew how hard it was for her to make a living back then and store as many grains as she could while fighting with the living corpses.
Because she awakened her spiritual powers she was still able to survive in the apocalypse world but those who did not awaken their spiritual powers—— they all were treated like scum by those who were of higher powers.
Now that she was seeing the same ruthlessness happen in this world as well Yu Dong was not feeling good at all, instead, she felt stifled. She knew that even though the shopkeepers of these grains shop did not have much rice with them, it was not to the point that they needed to rip off the common people who earned such a big sum of five taels with hard work and sweat in the fields.
These people were simply taking advantage of the opportunity that was handed to them to earn as much money as they could make at this moment, this was simply inhumane!
Yu Dong was very upset but she could not make a move rashly instead she tugged Aunt Wang's sleeves and whispered to her, " Aunt Wang, I have some rice stored…instead of buying rice why don't you buy sorghum and millet? I will sell you the rice at the same price as before and I will also keep your sorghum and millet with me such that they will not go bad."
Aunt Wang has seen Yu Dong getting mature in front of her, she, of course, trusted Yu Dong very much but before she could say anything she heard another voice from behind.
" Yu Dong, did you say you have rice and you are willing to sell it at the usual market price?"
At first Aunt, Wang was scared stiff thinking that she and Yu Dong might be caught up in trouble but that was until she whirled around and saw that the person who was behind her was none other than Song Yixu, the owner of Song restaurant in the town.
When Aunt Wang saw that it was Song Yixu, she heaved a sigh of relief and then turned to smack Yu Dong on the arm. " You are lucky that it was Madam Song who heard us, if there was someone else then they would have set their eyes on the rice that you have stored with you. You are really——-"
" Who says that I am not going to set eyes on her rice?" Song Yixu interrupted Aunt Wang before she could finish what she was saying causing Aunt Wang to choke on her words as she turned to look at Song Yixu in surprise and shock.
" We are actually here to buy some grains for our family even if we have rice stored with us we don't have coarse grains and noodles at our home, I need to purchase those goods before they run out of stock." Yu Dong understood why Song Yixu stopped her but just because they were acquainted with each other it did not mean that she was going to let the woman do as she wished.
If Song Yixu wanted a share in her rice then she will have to show how sincere she was!
Song Yixu of course understood Yu Dong's meaning, she was a bit helpless upon seeing that Yu Dong was trying to smuggle some goods from her as well and sighed before she waved her hand at her workers and said, " Go and buy some noddles and fine grains for Miss Yu and her friend." As the workers turned around to leave Song Yixu turned to look at Yu Dong and said, " Can we discuss the matter of rice grains now, Miss Yu?"
" Sure." Now that she has gotten what she wanted of course she was willing to discuss but just discuss that was it.
