Chapter 57 Food Relief

In front of the Shenjia Village, hundreds of victims surrounded the place.

Su Cheng's words immediately attracted the attention of all the victims.

Those who dare to say that they can solve their problems at this time are their reborn parents!

For a moment, all the victims turned to look at Su Cheng.

But there were too many people. Except for those close to Su Cheng who could see him, other victims could not see him at all.

Seeing this, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Shen Youwei: "Madam, can you take me to the top of the carriage?"

"Look, the benefits of knowing martial arts will be revealed at this time!"

Shen Youwei glanced at Su Cheng, but still grabbed Su Cheng's hand and jumped up, and they both jumped to the top of the carriage at the same time.

These two people can be seen by all the victims.

"Who are you? Can you really help us solve the food problem?" Some victims questioned at this time.

"Yeah, seeing as you are so young, don't talk big!"

"We are at the end of our rope now, you have to think clearly about the consequences of deceiving us!"

At this moment, the door of Buzhuang suddenly opened, and Shen Zhennan appeared in front of everyone under the protection of a group of guards.

"His name is Su Cheng, and he is the son-in-law of my Shen family. His words mean what I mean!"

When Shen Zhennan saw Su Cheng, he suddenly felt a backbone in his heart.

At this time, of course, you must take the initiative to stand up and express your attitude.

When the victims heard that he was the son-in-law of the Shen family, they looked at Su Cheng with admiration.

"Since you are the son-in-law of the Shen family, then give us food!"

"Yes, we are here just for food!"

"We have been hungry for several days. If there is no food today, we will grab it!"

"As long as you give us the food, we will leave immediately."

The victims are ordinary people who just want food to survive.

Su Cheng looked at these skinny victims and said solemnly: "My Shen family does have some food!"

"But you have to know that our Shen family also has servants, and the Shen family has a large population, so we can't give you all the food!"

"And even if I give you food today, and another group of disaster victims comes tomorrow, then even if our Shen family has food, it won't be enough for you."

This makes sense, and it makes the victims look at each other in shock.

But someone soon retorted: "I don't care about others, I just want to survive today!"

"Yeah, we don't care about this. Anyway, you have to give food today."

"Yes, your Shen family has so much land, so what if you give us some?"

It just doesn't make sense to reason with the victims.

People are about to starve to death, so who cares what happens to your Shen family?

Even if what Su Cheng said makes sense, the victims only want food.

These words made Shen Youwei's pretty face turn pale with anger!

"Qiang!"

The sharp sword in his hand was unsheathed, a cold light flashed, the sharp sword tip pointed at the group of victims and shouted angrily:

"Hmph, if you want to rob my Shen family of food, you must first ask for the sharp sword in my hand!"

With Shen Youwei's violent temper, how could she allow these victims to take away her own food?

Even if there are many people on the other side, she still has to fight with him directly!

As soon as these words came out, they instantly stirred up a hornet's nest!

"Look, the Shen family doesn't want to give us food at all!"

"No matter, let's rush in and grab it ourselves!"

"I heard that the cloth store is full of food. Let's take it all away today."

The victims roared angrily, and the people in front even started to rush towards Buzhuang.

Su Cheng's face darkened.

He had his own plan and was going to slowly guide these victims, but he didn't expect it to be ruined by Shen Youwei's words.

If we don't stop him, people will be killed in the fight between the two sides.

"Everyone, I will provide the food from the Shen family!"

"However, this food cannot be given to you directly. We will make it into porridge or steamed buns. Each of you will have a bowl of porridge or a steamed bun!"

"If we give you food, you won't even have a place to cook, right?"

Originally, it would be enough to make porridge directly, but now that we are short of water, we cannot make too much porridge. We can only make half of it porridge and half of it steamed buns.

When the victims heard that there was food and that it was prepared for themselves, they stopped one after another.

But some people questioned: "Are you telling the truth?"

"You're not lying to us, are you?"

"Yes, please bring out the porridge and steamed buns now!"

Su Cheng looked indifferent: "You pick a few people who can make porridge and steamed buns, follow me into Buzhuang, and do it now!"

"I can make porridge!"

"I can make steamed buns!"

"Okay, you guys, come in with me!"

Su Cheng ordered a few simple-looking aunties and led Shen Youwei and Shen towards Mingchao Buzhuang.

Wherever they passed, victims gave way one after another.

Entering Buzhuang, Su Cheng immediately asked those people to go down to make porridge and steamed buns.

Only Shen Zhennan looked anxious. He took Su Cheng's hand and whispered, "Xian son-in-law, do you really want to give them food?"

Shen Youwei on the side also looked puzzled: "Yes, even if you give it to them today, they will still come over to ask for it later."

"What if this incident spreads and the victims outside know that we have food here and all come over, what should we do?"

There are so many victims, so we can't give food to so many people every day, right?

If this continues, the Shen family will be depleted sooner or later.

I don’t know what my husband is thinking!

"Don't worry, I know this matter well, and if I don't give them food now, it will be difficult to end it if someone loses their life!"

Su Cheng said solemnly: "If you want to stabilize these people, wait until the county magistrate comes back. Calculating the time, the people sent by the prefecture should be here soon!"

There are too many victims, so there is no need to fight with these people.

Anyway, Shen's Mansion has a lot of food, and it doesn't take much to make steamed buns and porridge. As long as the magistrate Wang and the people from the prefect arrive, everything will be solved.

"Ah this..."

Shen Zhennan touched his beard and looked thoughtful, as if he was calculating the gains and losses.

This account is easy to calculate. It is equivalent to using some food in exchange for safety in the past few days.

"It makes sense, but I'm just a little bit unwilling to lose so much food for no reason." Shen Zhennan still has some burdens.

Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "Father, you don't have to be like this. Our Shen family has ten times more food this year. There is no need to worry about it."

"Besides, our Shen family will soon have to plow the fields and plant rice for the next season."

Jiangzhou belongs to Jiangnan, and the climate here is suitable for growing two-season rice.

After the first season of rice is finished, plowing the fields and transplanting rice seedlings will begin immediately.

But now that the victims are suffering from famine, this matter has not been implemented yet.

Shen Zhennan was comforted by these words and felt a lot better.

"Okay, I'll just listen to you, as long as I can survive this crisis safely!"

In view of what Su Cheng had done before, Shen Zhennan still chose to believe him.
