Chapter 817: Will come knocking tomorrow—-1
-------------
It took a long time to calm Aunt Wang down before Yu Dong returned to her shed where she was working but as she arrived at the door, she saw something really fishy. She walked over to where the window of the shed was and then caught the insect which was fluttering in front of the window, she took a look at the locust which was trying to escape from her gasp and then suddenly her eyes turned gloomy.
Because she was busy with the development plans of this village, she seemed to have forgotten the most important part and that was ——
Heavy rainfall gives the perfect atmosphere for the locusts to breed, it was the same in the apocalypse world, at first there was a sudden change in the temperature when the Sun's temperature rose past fifty then there was heavy rainfall which was followed by the red clouds and locust plague, if not for these small things, humans wouldn't have resorted to killing each other and eating their hunt.
Now that she was looking at this locust which was smaller than the ones she saw in her world, Yu Dong felt her mood get sullen. She was no longer in the mood of raising mushrooms and snow fungus, what was the point when she could not even use the spores in the mountains to grow them?
Yu Dong was in a bad mood but she could only stomp on the locust and then walk inside the shed where she started to cover every corner which had the smallest space for the locusts to sneak in and then decided that she will ask Village head to start storing grains from today onwards.
As soon as this thought came to her head, she locked the shed and then walked towards the window where she caught a few more locusts and made her way towards Village Head Gu's house. Right now, she felt like the heavens were going against her especially! How can there be a flood followed by locust plague? How in the world did she get so unlucky?
….
Just like Yu Dong, there was someone who was even more angry and that someone was none other than Shen Hanxing who was listening to Boss Xie who was looking at her with a dark face, " Are you listening to me? If you do not come up with ten taels by this weekend you better come to the bar on your own, if not then I will have my women break your limbs along with your mother's! When that happens, do not blame me for being unkind!"
Boss Xie did not wish to let this matter go, it was just that Ning Yu came to her and begged that she not take the young ones and only took the older one who was old enough to work in her bar and pay back the money which was owed by her mother.
Boss Xie also did not wish to sell the young ones which was why she agreed but these days the mother and daughter duo were coming up with one excuse after another and she was running out of patience.
Thus, she did not hold back as she threatened Shen Hanxing.
Only then Shen Hanxing realised that Boss Xie was not a woman who was supposed to be trifled with, not only was she ruthless but she was also ridiculous, she only lost ten taels but she was willing to turn her mother and her into handicapped for the sake of ten taels?
She did not dare to make any excuse anymore, instead, she lowered her head and then said in a soft voice, " Don't worry, Boss Xie. I will definitely come up with a way to get those ten taels very soon, I am sure that my sister-in-law will not watch me die, just give me some time I will talk with my sister-in-law and then have her send you the money."
Boss Xie laughed coldly with a dark face and then said to Shen Hanxing, " I am waiting for your sister-in-law to send me money, Shen Hanxing. You said the same thing last time and then last time, but no more, I want the money on the weekend or you can get ready to lose a limb! I will see who will marry a woman whose legs are broken."
With that, she turned to leave, and Shen Hanxing's expression turned black. It was her dream to have a husband, though she was a hooligan who would take liberties with this mer and that, she too wanted to have a husband who wait on her and then take care of her needs. That was more convenient than looking around for desperate mers who would be up for some quick fun but now she was this close to losing that chance!
She turned to look at Old Madam Shen who no longer dared to raise her head in front of Shen Han Xing, it was not that she did not want to come up with a way to earn those ten taels but she was only a loafer and did not know what to do to earn money she tried to keep herself sane for a few days thinking that the money earns by her husbands will be stored up and given to Boss Xie but the thing was that the alcohol was a really bad thing.
Only after a few days, she started to crave more and more wine and started to squander the little money she saved, and because it was Shen Han Xing who was going to be sent away neither Shi Xi nor Ning Yu stopped her, if she wanted to buy then she can go ahead and buy any way their daily begging cannot even amount to thirty coins how will they come up with a way to save up to ten taels.
Shen Han Xing wanted to sell her siblings but the condition in the town was so bad that even those who can take care of their children wanted to give their own away, how can they even come up with a sum of ten taels to buy another child?
