Chapter 153 The Gu Family Welcomes Their New Bride
I can't imagine what it would be like.
"What else can we do? We ordinary people can only rely on God to feed us," said Dr. Zhang.
He earns extra income by treating patients and dispensing medicine, making his life slightly more comfortable than others.
"Uncle Zhang, the drought will continue all year." Yang Fenglan repeated the key point.
Dr. Zhang was a little confused by what she said, and he repeated, "When the weather is dry, there's not much the people can do."
The two spoke as if they were exchanging riddles, leaving Zhou Jingyi completely bewildered. He kindly explained, "What my mother meant was that the dry weather will continue indefinitely."
Dr. Zhang: ?
Is there a problem with his understanding?
What can ordinary people do when the drought continues?
Yang Fenglan was bewildered by the two of them. "Uncle Zhang, let me be frank. This year's drought is severe, and other places have also been affected. I went to town a couple of days ago and heard people say that other towns had even less harvest and now they have no food to eat."
"The grain stores in the county have started raising prices. It won't rain this year, so we can't plant rice in the second half of the year. Grain prices will skyrocket soon, and ordinary people like us will find it increasingly unaffordable. Uncle Zhang, if you have the money, you'd better stock up on some."
This time at the market, Doctor Zhang also went to buy grain, but because the price of grain had risen, he didn't buy much.
Hearing Yang Fenglan say this now, he hesitated. "Grain prices might drop. With the drought like this, the government won't ignore it."
His idea was also what most people hoped for: rain and government intervention.
If Yang Fenglan hadn't known about the situation in the book, she probably would have had the same expectations as everyone else.
"No, this year will definitely be a chaotic year." Yang Fenglan said solemnly. "Uncle Zhang, I've told you everything I can. You're a good person, and I hope you can all be well."
Trust me, make plans early.
Dr. Zhang was flustered by what she said, and after thinking for a while, he nodded, "Thank you for reminding me."
Dr. Zhang left, and Yang Fenglan saw him to the door, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to invite him to go into the mountains together.
Older people tend to be more stubborn in their thinking.
Although Qingshui Village had no shortage of grain, the wheat harvest had only recently begun, and the villagers were still anxious as they watched the grain bags dwindle day by day.
When grain prices rise, experienced and able-bodied elderly people start hoarding grain.
Those who are reluctant to spend money, or who simply cannot afford it, can only hope that grain prices will come down.
Life is still manageable.
That day, Yang Fenglan went to fetch water and overheard someone saying that the Gu family was going to welcome a new daughter-in-law.
However, the Gu family didn't have much money and didn't plan to hold a banquet. Gu Ming would simply go to pick up his new wife and invite the Gu family elders to witness the occasion.
Yang Fenglan thought to herself: So simple, did she marry the lame man that Du Meiniang mentioned who can't do any work?
Yang Fenglan suddenly thought of Shen Yu. It had been so long, and she wondered how she was doing.
"Jingyi's mother, would you like to come and watch the excitement?" Someone invited Yang Fenglan.
She shook her head.
They're not holding a banquet, why should we go and join in the fun?
However, since he is the male protagonist of the book, no matter how his life turns out in the future, he should at least show his face and make friends.
Yang Fenglan planned to "casually" visit her new daughter-in-law after things had calmed down, in order to get closer to her.
However, as he carried water through the village, he heard a lot of noise and saw Xu Yingying, who had come to watch the commotion.
"Let's go, let's go watch the male lead get married." Xu Yingying put down Yang Fenglan's water bucket and pulled her towards Gu Ming's house.
The new bride has already entered the family.
The two were dressed simply, except for red veils worn over their clothes.
The bride had a red veil covering her head.
He doesn't limp when he walks.
"Isn't she the lame girl the matchmaker said she was?" Yang Fenglan asked from the back of the crowd.
Xu Yingying was also puzzled. "Yes, the matchmaker said she was introducing a lame girl. She didn't want a dowry or a big celebration."
"Could it be..." Yang Fenglan looked at Xu Yingying.
The same question arose in their eyes.
I doubt the storyline will start!
