Escape from famine at the beginning: I use space to raise three cute babies
Chapter 44: The Pig Thief
Everyone worked together to mine a lot of wasteland. Fortunately, there were occasional heavy rains, and the seeds they planted took root, sprouted and grew vigorously.
Looking at the sprouts sprouting from the ground, Xiang Jiuling was very pleased. It seemed that the wasteland had to be mined again. After all, there were still many seeds in the space, and a lot of space was needed for planting.
Just as he was thinking about his future life, he suddenly heard Liu Yaoshi scream, "Sister Xiang, come here and help me take a look, I... my potatoes have sprouted, can I still eat them?"
Hearing this, Xiang Jiuling walked over and explained, "These sprouted potatoes are inedible and poisonous! There happens to be a piece of wasteland over there where you can plant the sprouted potatoes!"
After everyone cleared the land, every household was basically equipped with farm tools. Those who didn't pay for them were naturally rented, and they would have to pay them back when the time comes.
Xiang Jiuling later exchanged pepper seeds from the space, wrapped them in cloth, moistened them and left them for a few days, and then planted them after they sprouted.
What was supposed to be a fulfilling life was disrupted by an unexpected letter. It was sent by someone from the Xiang Yue family, telling her not to offend her big benefactor, otherwise they would not let her go.
Thinking of what happened last time, Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
After arranging everything, Xiang Jiuling took advantage of changing Wen Xi's dressing to discuss with him: "I think the landlord hasn't given up yet and will definitely come again. I don't want to cause trouble to everyone, so why don't we leave here as soon as possible."
"That's fine."
Wen Xi actually had this plan. Stability was difficult for his family to achieve. Moreover, the landlord was a local tyrant, bullying men or women. He would definitely not be willing to be cheated out of a sum of money by the Xiang family. Now,
Everyone finally built a new home, and she didn't want to disrupt the harmonious life because of her.
After reaching an agreement, the two took stock of the supplies overnight and then went to the village chief to say goodbye.
"Isn't it nice to stay here? Although we are poor here, the villagers are very kind. If you go elsewhere, what should you do if you encounter danger again?"
Wen Xiwen said: "We will deal with it ourselves. Thank you to the village chief for retaining me. Please take care of yourself."
Seeing that they had decided to go, the village chief could not force him, and after giving a few instructions, he sent them to the entrance of the village.
Xiang Jiuling was the worst at dealing with such parting scenes. She only told the village chief and left the village with her family.
After a bumpy ride, we finally entered the town.
Towns are indeed better than villages. There are inns, various shops, vendors shouting everywhere, and lively markets that dazzle everyone.
Seeing that the children were tired, they stayed at the inn first.
"I thought that since we still have a lot of money on hand, we might as well buy a small place to live in first, so as not to run around here and there."
Wen Xi thought for a moment and then responded.
The children have been suffering with them all day long, and it's time to settle down.
Xiang Jiuling ordered a lot of dishes and watched the three children eating with relish. She secretly thought that she must make more money in the future.
The next day, they spent a lot of effort and finally found a suitable place and bought it.
With a place to live, Xiang Jiuling immediately exchanged the piglets from his consciousness system and planned to sell them for money when the pigs were fattened.
However, what she didn't expect was that before the night passed, the piglet was stolen.
Sanni liked the fat and white pig very much. She wiped her tears and said, "Mom, it must have been stolen and eaten by someone."
The little girl cried sadly, and Erbao quickly comforted his sister.
Xiang Jiuling chose to report it to the official. This was the piglet she exchanged from the system. She could not give others an advantage in any case. Moreover, it was only the first day that such a big thing was stolen. What would happen in the future?
Come on?
Unexpectedly, after reporting it to the official, he was still not found.
The yamen servant said disdainfully: "We are busy all day long, and we have to help you find pigs. If others heard this, they would definitely laugh out loud. All the pigs in the world look the same. Who knows which one?
It’s your pig.”
Xiang Jiuling knew that these people were neglecting their duties and were taking this opportunity to blackmail her.
They had just arrived and it was difficult to offend these government officials, so they could only give money to settle the matter.
Dabao was young and didn't quite understand the rules here. After the government officials left, he couldn't help but mutter: "It's okay if they didn't find the pig, but they came to blackmail us. It's really disgusting. They must not have looked for it. I saw it before."
They are drinking tea leisurely in the tea shop."
Xiang Jiuling knelt down and looked level with him.
"Yes, Dabao, you are right. They are indeed hateful, but they are official servants. We cannot offend them. We haven't even established our feet yet. If we offend others, we probably won't be able to stay here."
Went down."
She doesn't like to comfort people, but after spending a long time with the children, she doesn't want to see them feel uncomfortable, so she can let them understand some of the unspoken rules of the world.
However, let alone them being angry, she was also very angry.
Since the government officials refused to investigate, Xiang Jiuling decided to go into battle himself.
The words of the yamen servant were obviously used to deal with her. They would be laughed at. They were all lies. They were just excuses for their inaction.
These government officials in the villages and towns usually did nothing but catch thieves and hunt for cattle. Now they were mocking her, thinking she didn't know the price of a piglet.
Wen Xi was busy chopping firewood. Seeing Xiang Jiuling's thoughtful look, he said, "Okay, just throw it away. Don't think too much about it. If it doesn't work, I'll find something to do after I settle down and collect the money to buy another one."
Only."
Now his view of Xiang Jiuling has long changed, and his tone is much calmer than before, not so harsh.
Xiang Jiuling shook his head slowly: "I didn't think much about it. I went to the street to take a look and brought back some things."
She looked around first, and then asked people around her, but she still couldn't find it.
A living thing was just gone. Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but feel sulky, thinking that she must find out the truth, and she couldn't just let it go.
She felt thirsty while walking, so she went to a tea shop and ordered a bowl of tea, then sat in the corner and drank it.
At this time, she heard someone talking: "Have you heard that the pig butcher in the back raised a piglet? He said it was a new pig. It doesn't look like a native pig."
"It doesn't look much like it to me, but our kids really like it and are clamoring to play in the alley behind it."
The more Xiang Jiuling listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Then she quietly went to the pork shop where the butcher was, and found that there was indeed a piglet at his feet, which was the one she lost.
The pig butcher's child liked it very much and would touch the piglet's head from time to time.
"Okay, stop making trouble. I spent a lot of money on this pig."
As he said that, he seemed to realize that he almost let something slip. He quickly looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no suspicious person.
