At the food stall, Shu Yuanwei looked at Qiu Tong, who was standing at the entrance. He gritted his teeth and glared at her fiercely, blaming her for all his losses!
Everyone wanted to stock up on food. When they saw Qiu Tong's cart parked outside, they all asked her how much she was selling it for.
They raised the price to three times that of Qiu Tong's earlier price.
Shu Yuanwei felt his heart bleed. Qiu Tong comforted the crowd. "These are my personal grains. Sorry, they are not for sale."
"But if you want to buy grains, there's still some at the old farmer's house. I can introduce you to him…"
When Shu Yuanwei heard that his customers were about to leave, he hurriedly shouted and interrupted her. He started a rumor by saying, "Don't listen to her!"
"She must have known in advance that there would be a locust plague. Otherwise, why would she let her children sell locust pesticide and wantonly buy up old grains?"
