Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Ms. Wang’s Shameless Trick

Liu Sisi raised her head to look at the sweltering sky around her: “After giving out these coarse grains as porridge, no one seems to say a good word. Like the old man we met before, what can you do with him?”

“Madam, don’t be disheartened. Such unreasonable people are, after all, a minority.”

“Indeed they are a minority, but what if their hidden thoughts are actually like that?”

Liu Sisi tilted her paper umbrella towards YingEr, sheltering her from the scorching sun above.

“If that’s the case, why not reverse our approach? Now, we let them catch the locusts by themselves, and exchange the coarse grains for the locusts they’ve caught. It both solves the uncertainty of the wandering tramps around the porridge shed and keeps the locust disaster to a minimum. Why not?”

“Madam has a great idea!”

Granny Hu sincerely praised her from the side.

“Whether it’s a great idea or not is not important, what’s important is when this sky will finally rain!”

Liu Sisi sighed deeply.

If it doesn’t rain soon, even the late rice might fail!

Compared to the piles of disaster victims waiting for porridge outside the city gate, the city seemed even busier than before.

Whether it’s the passing merchants or scholars, they were like black ants in an anthill, each going their own way and each doing their own business, seemingly chaotic yet orderly.

She retracted her gaze and casually lowered the carriage curtain.

Just as she turned her head, she seemed to see a familiar face and hurriedly shouted, “Stop the carriage!”

She rushed down the carriage and searched around only to find that the person had disappeared from the spot. She looked around, and there was not a trace left.

Liu Sisi stood still, unable to keep her eyebrows from furrowing.

Wrong! She had already left Macheng County, hadn’t she?

It’s absolutely impossible for her to appear here; it must be her own eyes playing tricks on her.

“Madam, what’s wrong? Did you see something?”

Ms. Gao also got off the carriage and looked around.

“It’s nothing, let’s go back.”

Liu Sisi shook her head, disappointedly retracted her gaze and turned around to walk back to the carriage.

“Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!”

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Liu Sisi looked back and saw Ms. Wang panting and running after her.

“It’s you!”
