Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

Chapter 11 This is definitely a scam

Ye Chuyi looked coldly at the old lady who was sitting on the ground and throwing a tantrum, without saying a word.

This acting is too poor.

"The girl I raised with great care turned out to be an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. She even stole the only money for food in the family. This is killing me. My old man, please open your eyes and take a look..."

The old lady cried and shouted, while holding Ye Chuyi's legs with both hands.

Some people gradually gathered around, they just didn't care and watched as no one came forward, as if they were already used to such things.

"I don't know you." Yue Ye glared at her and quickly pulled out the trouser leg that was being pulled.

It wasn’t as interesting as the quarrels of old ladies I had seen in the countryside before. She had more important things to do and was not interested in watching the show at all.

"Why didn't you say you didn't know me when you were trying to steal money from me? You're such a heartless bastard! I treated you like my own daughter, but you even stole money from me."

The old lady did not refute, but grabbed her again and cried even more miserably.

At this moment, two muscular men suddenly walked out of the crowd.

"Mom, who bullied you? Why are you sitting on the ground? Your son must avenge you."

One of the men said as he grabbed Ye Chuyi and said, "I knew it was you, you stupid girl. You stole the only food in the house yesterday, and now you dare to bully my mother. I'll beat you to death."

This is definitely a planned and premeditated scam!

Ye Chuyi dodged the man's touch and quickly merged into the crowd of people watching the excitement.

The people watching the excitement all took a step back.

"You little bitch, you dare to run, I'm going to scratch you to death."

There was a sudden stinging pain on his scalp, and Ye Chuyi turned around to face a fat woman with a hideous face.

"It's not over yet, what a bunch of shit!"

Ye Chuyi cursed irritably, bit the woman's arm with a cold face, and when she let go in pain, he grabbed her hair with his backhand.

"If I don't show my power, you will really think I'm easy to bully." Ye Chuyi increased his strength angrily and directly pulled out a bunch of the woman's hair.

"What are you guys still doing? Come and help me. I'm going to let this bitch know how powerful I am."

As the woman roared, two men rushed up from the left and right.

While arresting people, they also said some ambiguous words, as if they wanted to confirm the relationship between them.

Soon Ye Chuyi was exhausted. The people who were watching the excitement had dispersed, and more people began to flock to the slowly opening city gate.

Trash who uses their numbers to bully the few!

Ye Chuyi glanced at the few people with shifty looks behind his back, then looked at the long queue at the city gate, and his eyes rolled around.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

"This family has more than 100 taels of silver. As long as we rob the silver, we can enter the city!"

As she shouted, many people around looked over, and those who reacted quickly were slowly approaching.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little girl? You have stolen all my wealth."

The old lady hurriedly got up from the ground and secretly winked at the other three people.

This little bitch is so unlucky. I must sell her to a good place to vent my anger.

"You can tell whether I'm talking nonsense or not by looking at my clothes. The material you're wearing is so fine, it must be worth a lot of money. How could you possibly be from the same family as me?"

Ye Chuyi sneered. Although their clothes were deliberately made to look old, it was obvious that they were made of high-quality cotton. They really treated everyone as fools.

"You insist on holding on to a powerless girl like me. Are you doing something shameful? Maybe you are kidnapping and selling children."

Ye Chuyi added secretly, "Never underestimate the destructive power of the words 'child trafficking'."

"These people look familiar to me. Could they really be kidnappers?"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and Ye Chuyi silently gave him a thumbs up.

This is a great way to add fuel to the fire.

"Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. We, we are just ordinary people fleeing famine."

The old lady tried to explain in a hurry, but was surrounded by more and more people.

Relying on his small stature, Ye Chuyi quietly retreated from the group, lowered his head and ran all the way to the city gate before stopping.

"The entrance fee is one tael of silver."

The guard at the city gate glanced at Ye Chuyi indifferently and held the city gate firmly with his spear.

Ye Chuyi touched his torn purse with a painful feeling, and very reluctantly took out a small piece of silver.

"If the change is not enough, give me another fifty coins."

The guard held his spear indifferently and did not move.

Ye Chuyi looked at him in disbelief. With such a large amount of silver, how could he tell that it was not enough?

"If you don't have money, don't waste your time here." Another guard appeared out of nowhere and pushed Ye Chuyi to the side.

The gatekeeper didn't even glance at it.

What is he doing? He's not trying to take advantage of her money for free. This is intolerable!

Ye Chuyi gritted his teeth, counted out another fifty cents from his purse and handed it over.

The guard took her fifty cents and the small change and put them into his arms without changing his expression. Then he took out a small amount of small change that was one circle less than hers and threw it into the wooden box next to him.

Throw it in, throw it in!

Ye Chuyi looked back several times along the way, thinking that she was a big victim.

Her change, her fifty coppers!

Ye Chuyi muttered to himself as he walked, his feet aching from walking, before he saw a grain shop with its door open.

There was a large wooden board hanging outside the door, with a few large characters written on it: "Rice 80 wen."

She thought again of the fifty copper coins she had given for free, which could buy more than half a pound of rice, enough for several meals, woooo.

The clerk in the shop stood lazily behind the counter, slowly counting the beads on the abacus. When he heard someone coming in, he just raised his eyelids slightly.

The price of grain changes every day, and he can sell it anyway, so he doesn't want to face smiling faces and buy it if he wants.

He looked so poor that it was obvious that he was fleeing famine and had no money on him. He was too lazy to greet him.

Ye Chuyi walked around silently. There was not much food in the shop. The cheapest thing was the old rice that was moldy and sprouted and piled at the door for 10 cents.

Forget about the old rice, it’s moldy and who knows if it’s poisonous or not. So forget it.

Ye Chuyi moved to the side, and picked up a few grains of stale rice and looked at them anxiously. The color was a little dark.

She had only seen white rice in modern times, and this body's family could eat brown rice, so she really didn't like it.

"Don't touch it if you don't want to buy it. If you break it, can you afford to pay for it?"

The waiter came over at some point, slapped the rice out of Ye Chuyi's hand with a mocking look, and swept the cloth bag a few times with a feather duster.

"Vile thing."

"You are quite capable. You are just a guy wearing patched clothes. People who don't know would think that this grain shop belongs to you. You are so arrogant."

Ye Chuyi glared at him with a sneer. What a person! He feels superior just because he is a waiter.

"Get out, you little thief who has no money and wants to steal food."
