Transmigrating into the Villain's Divorced Wife

Chapter 438 Strange Things Happen Every Year

There was a thick layer of snow on the bamboo branches in the small courtyard, and only a soft cry was heard, and they all fell down again.

Looking at the snow on the ground, Linglong walked around sideways wrapped in a cloak.

"Linglong, why did you come back?"

All the young ladies in the courtyard gathered around, some handed over the stove in their hands, and some patted the snow on her shoulders with feather poles.

"It's snowing too much, so I've been delayed for a while. These things are rewarded by my boss, so I'll take them back and share them." Linglong had a smile on her face. Her boss has never been a stingy person. Now that the New Year is approaching, she naturally rewarded her again. A lot of things came down.

"Come in, come in." The little girls hurriedly greeted her to enter the house, leaving only the snow mixed with mud in the yard.

Nanzhi's stomach got bigger and bigger, but fortunately, those nausea and nausea were gone, but her stomach was a little heavy, which made her appetite not good in normal times.

"Aniang, are we going to see lanterns tonight?"

Shen Zhiyu looked up with a small fair face, eyes full of expectation.

Every household in Yancheng hangs lanterns from the second day of the twelfth lunar month, and the four street markets are filled with different kinds of lanterns. Just seeing them from a distance can shock people's jaws.

There are skilled lantern masters who can make all kinds of lanterns, from dead things to living things, from koi carp to snow rabbits, and even more powerful ones can make Chang'e flying to the moon and fairies descending to earth.

In previous years, my father was always too busy to pay attention to him, and he always went with his uncle and the others. This year, both my mother and my father were finally here, and he also wanted to take them to have a look.

And A Niang hadn't gone out for a long time, he wanted A Niang to have a look at the new things outside.

The days are getting more and more prosperous, and with the care of his parents, Shen Zhiyu is now white and white like the little fairy boy in the book. On weekdays, he just goes out with Lin Zihan and the others to play crazy, and he can attract many little girls to blush. The more daring women would secretly tease him and want to accept him as their future son-in-law.

"Okay, when your dad comes back, let's go together at night."

Looking at his son's more handsome face, Nanzhi thought it was a lie to say that he was not happy.

She wasn't born very good-looking, and Shen Wenchen wasn't the kind of handsome young man, but his son was a picky guy, so he picked the merits of the two of them.

"Okay!" With Nan Zhi's promise, Shen Zhiyu only cheered and ran out of the room with a smile.

Xiaomi was waiting for Shen Zhiyu in the yard with his head poking his head. Seeing his happy face, he also guessed the result.

Only then did his face relax, and the tension just now disappeared.

He was still afraid, afraid that his wife would not agree.

"Brother Xiaomi, let's go out to watch the lanterns at night!"

"it is good!"

Xiaomi nodded, feeling happy in her heart.

It wasn't until the sky was dark and a lantern was lit outside the door that Shen Wenchen came back with his head covered in snow.

"What's the matter?" Nan Zhi patted the snow on his body for him, and asked worriedly when he saw the tiredness in his brows.

"Nannan, do you still remember the letter Yuntian sent back?" Shen Wenchen asked after rubbing his brows.

"I remember..." Nan Zhi nodded, and then seemed to think of something, the expression on his face froze, a little dazed.

"Did something happen to the field?"

Seeing that his wife was worried, Shen Wenchen sighed inwardly, and explained softly: "We went to Zhuangzi today, and most of the grain in Zhuangzi was damaged, and the surrounding villages were also infested with rats. There is not enough left over for the winter.”

"How could there be a rat plague?" Nan Zhi was a little confused, it was all right, and he had never heard of a rat plague before.

"Yancheng hasn't had a rat plague for nearly 20 years, and this time it happened so suddenly that no one knew about it." Shen Wenchen's tone was dull, with deep helplessness in it.

"We also saw that most of the fields outside the city had turned black, and they were still emitting a stench. The vegetables planted were rotten in the field. Even the roots of the trees near the fields were rotten into mud.

I'm afraid we're about to encounter something difficult. "

People have to eat to survive, but Yancheng itself is an economic city based on commerce and trade. There are countless gold, silver, jewelry, silk brocades, but when it comes to food, it is basically shipped from the south.

Now that something happened to Xiejiang, and the land in Yancheng also had problems, what the people eat became a problem.

What he didn't tell Nanzhi was that the villagers said that the rats that caused the disaster would come out at night every day, and would swarm into the forest in groups before the first crow of the rooster. Even if they hunted rats at night with torches, As soon as the cock crows for the first time, those alive and kicking mice will deflate like water bladders with holes.

This incident was so weird that he even had to suspect that all of this was the reason why the world was self-destructing.

Xiejiang was thousands of miles away from Yancheng, yet the same strange incident spread over a month and a half.

I'm afraid that all of this will come to an irreversible point.

Looking at his wife's swollen belly, Shen Wenchen felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle.

He is a villain anyway, why, why can't he do something about it?

"Then, what should we do then? Shall we buy more food?" Nan Zhi looked flustered. Now that Shen Wenchen is the lord of the city, he no longer only needs to take care of his family as before.

To seek their jobs in their positions, they have to protect the people of a city.

"I have already sent a letter to the capital, and I have also sent people south to buy food, so you don't have to worry too much." Shen Wenchen pursed his lips, and gently stroked Fu Nanzhi's swollen belly.

He didn't want his wife and children to be hurt.

At least, don't let them worry about food and drink.

People are selfish, of course, before he came back, he asked people to go to the grain shop to buy some grain and stock it up, at least not to make Nannan and Zhiyu starve.

"Should I tell everyone directly so that everyone can prepare more food?"

"No, this will only scare everyone and cause trouble."

"But it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming..." Nanzhi murmured, and then suddenly said: "Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, every household will prepare some New Year's goods, should we sell some food?"

Shen Wenchen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I run a restaurant. If, under the name of Sanweiju, I sell some food at a low price, will it attract everyone to buy it?"

"No, you will only mess up the grain price in the market. If the grain in the restaurant is sold out in the future, the grain store may not be willing to sell it at a low price. I'm afraid it will have to go up even more."

"Then what do we do?"

Seeing his wife's angry look, Shen Wenchen felt relieved, and just pulled her into his arms.

"There is a way, but it will make you feel wronged for a while."

Feeling the man's chin rub against her shoulder, Nan Zhi turned to look at him.

"Why, which merchant's daughter do you want to marry to raise money?"
