章節 157: Chapter 157 Storing Grain

Madam Zhou was very surprised when she saw Wufu carrying several tens of jin of grain home. They had only bought rice and flour not long ago; why did they buy so much again? Their family had only three members, all females, and none of them ate much.

"Mom, it hasn't rained for a long time, and it's been too hot. I heard today that some places have already started to experience drought. Once there is a drought, the price of grain will rise. I bought extra just in case," Wufu explained.

Although she had money now and could afford even if the price of grain was high, it made sense to save where possible. Moreover, during times of disaster, often you couldn't buy grain even if you had the money. It was better to be prepared early.

Wufu wouldn't go into battle unprepared.

"A drought?" Madam Zhou, who spent all her days tending to the homestead, wasn't aware of what was happening outside.

Wufu nodded her head.
