Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Chapter 619: Borrow food

The road was blocked by heavy snow, and it would take seven or eight days at the fastest to open up a road to Lucheng, and most of the people had to be found to shovel the snow non-stop.

But right now, the food and grass in the camp in the north of the city can't last that long. Once the food runs out, it will inevitably cause a lot of panic.

For the current plan, the problem of food for the soldiers should be solved first, and the suffering of the common people can only be solved by themselves.

Fortunately, this was not the first snowstorm in Border Town, and everyone was able to calm down long ago. When they could no longer seek help from others, they dug up the kitchen at home, took pots, pans and other things, and lived in the nearby ruined temples.

Li Haitang couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to ask Ma Bihe for help first. Before that, she wanted to ask Master Ma to help and donate a batch of grain and grass. This is not a big deal for the Ma family, and what Master Ma mainly does is not grain and grass. Business.

However, with the appearance of Li Tianshi, the two young people around her did not slander her less, and the little affection in the past may have disappeared.

Therefore, she doesn't ask the local government to give it away for free, she just needs to lend a batch of food and grass.

After the border town opens the road to Lucheng, the food and grass will be purchased from the surrounding area and returned back. She thinks such a request is very reasonable.

Of course, she can't let the Ma family suffer, and she is willing to pay back a part of the money, which is only fair.

The transaction couldn't be simpler, but if Master Ma thinks about his old feelings a little bit, he can agree.

Li Haitang brought Wu Fu and Bai Bing to the door again. She was already familiar with the Ma family.

When the servant who opened the door saw that it was Li Haitang, he was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Brother, can you help send a message to Master Ma, just say that Li Haitang is asking to see you."

Li Haitang got off the carriage, handed a purse to the servant, and asked for help, no matter what your status is, you must lower your posture.

"Master Li, this is really difficult."

The servant squeezed the purse, very happy, but thinking of what his master told him, the money was like a hot potato, so he returned it to Wufu who was standing beside him.

"It's not that I don't want to report. These days, Tianshi Li is a guest at the mansion, and our master is being ordered by Tianshi Li to teach some orchid techniques."

The buddy looked embarrassed, that Li Tianshi is very popular in the border town, he must have great abilities, no wonder the master would give up making friends with Li Miracle Doctor.

"Isn't it okay to report it?"

Li Haitang raised her eyebrows. Before coming to Ma's house, she was treated like a guest. It was the first time she was rejected, and the servants didn't notify her, so she was shut out.

"Our master doesn't see visitors."

The buddy was also very depressed, and the master also specifically explained that Dr. Li was not allowed to come to the door.

Although he didn't know why there was such a weird order, but it was probably inseparable from Li Tianshi.

"Little brother, take this purse. There is no reason to take back what I sent out."

Seeing this, Li Haitang didn't make things difficult for his subordinates. After all, he also obeyed orders, but this trip might be a waste of time.

"Miracle Doctor Li."

Seeing that Li Haitang was about to turn around and get into the carriage, the servant didn't know where the courage came from, so he went out and called Li Haitang to stop.

"Brother, is there anything else?"

Li Haitang doesn't think that the other party will violate orders for her as a servant, and that's exactly the case, but the servants have pockets, and they always feel that they can't be at ease. Besides, Dr. Li is on good terms with the eldest lady of their house, so he might as well sell him Favor, let me make a point.

"In the past few days, our master entertained Tianshi Li at the mansion. He served him with good wine and good food. He has ordered us in advance not to disturb anyone who comes, otherwise he will be punished and driven out of the mansion."

It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, who dares to be dishonest?

Throw the board out, and you won't be able to survive outside.

Li Haitang nodded, since Master Ma has said all of his words to this point, even if she is begging for servants, she will not be able to see Master Ma.

If I can't see anyone, I'm afraid borrowing food will be ruined. In fact, she knew in her heart that even if she met someone, if Li Tianshi was in the way, she would return in vain.

"Thank you little brother, I understand."

With a silent sigh, Li Haitang returned to the carriage.

After the snow disaster, the city has not yet recovered, and some of the roads were blocked, so she had to shovel snow with Wu Fu and Bai Bing.

Li Haitang tightened the fur cloak around her body, feeling indescribably disappointed. At that time, she risked to save others because of the consultation fee from the Ma family, but why not for a fresh life?

She patted her conscience and said that she had no regrets in her actions.

However, after paying so much and taking great risks to save people, the other party listened to a liar, obliterated all her credit, and even avoided seeing her, which made her very sad.

If possible, she didn't want to make this trip.

"Ma'am, it's true that Master Ma still believes in that liar!"

Wu Fu's thinking is relatively simple, thinking that the other party is simply not seeing customers.

"It's an excuse."

Although Bai Bing is very dull, he sees things more deeply than Wu Fu, especially what the servants of Ma Mansion said after receiving the purse.

"Yeah, it's an excuse."

Li Haitangnian stood still and looked at the sky. Not far away was another gray cloud, and the air was full of damp wind and biting cold. I don't know if there will be another snowfall today or tomorrow.

She is very entangled now, if it snows again, will she be able to expose Li Tianshi's lies? But for the soldiers and the people in the border towns, they could no longer bear the snow disaster.

Ma Bihe went back to Lucheng to check the accounts. The shop will be closed in a few days, and it will reopen after the next year. She might not be able to come back in time when encountering this snow.

When Li Haitang thought about it, it had become a luxury to ask the Ma family to borrow food and grass.

What else can I do? If she really got to that point and had no other way out, she might lead people directly to loot the grain storehouse of Master Ma's house.

Perhaps after this, the relationship with the Ma and He family may be damaged, but this is also impossible.

"Ma'am, you don't have to worry, the master will definitely think of a way."

After Wu Fu learned the ins and outs, he still comforted his wife. She has always been a big-hearted person. The group of people in Heishui Village never gave up on such difficulties, let alone such a small problem in front of them.

At worst, I would be a robber. Anyway, those people in Sunset Mountain rely on robbing the rich and helping the poor to make a living, and they can also help the poor from time to time.

Wu Fu knows that his wife is very affectionate, and he doesn't want to let his sisters be caught in the middle.

"I know…"

The savage husband told her not to worry, he could solve everything by himself, and the result of the solution was that he stayed in the camp in the north of the city for longer and longer. Both armies are fighting for their lives in front of the battle, how can they have the leisure to worry about other things? Because of the tassels, Yun Jinghong is still in a trance. It can be said that if Xiao Lingchuan and Xiao's army hadn't carried it, the border town would have become the fat of the barbarians!
