Through Time Chapter 10

Hearing the shouting and cursing, Zhao Lang stopped in his tracks.

Other people were arguing, so it didn’t seem good to barge in at this time.

But when he heard the back, his heart shook and he dared not hesitate any longer.

If it was really potatoes and they were eaten, it would be a big loss!

Zhao Lang was just about to knock on the door when he saw a man bent over, ash-faced, being driven out.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a child came out inside and said in a fierce manner that

“Surnamed Xu, if you don’t give me the stuff today, you won’t be allowed to enter the house!”

The man was given a good scolding, but did not resist, but only protected what was in his arms.

“Ahem.”

To one side, Zhao Lang coughed falsely to indicate his presence.

“Who!”

The woman was startled into a scream and the child hid behind her.

Looking at the sudden appearance of Zhao Lang, and following him, several stout old men, shrieked in fear and

“Thieves! Dangjia’s!”

The men at this time, however, put down the things in their arms and steadfastly stood in front of the woman and child, looking at Zhao Lang warily.

Zhao Lang didn’t know what to say at this time, but he didn’t blame the other party.

It was late in the day and he had suddenly appeared with a group of people, so it would be expensive not to be misunderstood.

It was a good thing that Xiao Qi and the others had finally followed.

“Father, Mother, it’s me!”

Xiao Qi hurried up to them.

“Xiao Qi, why are you back?”

Only when they saw Xiao Qi did the woman and the man relax.

“My lord, wanted to come and see the house.”

Xiao Qi said straight away.

Hearing the word gongzi.

The originally spirited woman instantly became at a loss for words.

The stoic man also lowered his body a little, and a hint of humility appeared on his face.

“Woman I… Pay my respects to the nobleman.”

The woman panicked and tried to curtsy, but she didn’t know what to do.

It was the first time she had ever been so close to a nobleman.

The man at the side of the room, however, bowed regally at this time.

Zhao Lang hurriedly welcomed the two men up, having grown up under the red flag, he couldn’t stand this.

“I have disturbed the two of you, but I have come today for an important matter.”

Zhao Long spoke directly, beating around the bush with these people instead of delaying things.

“Sir, you… Please speak.”

The woman spoke at this point, as the man saw that there was no threat and went to the side again to pick up what he had done before.

“I had a piece of Xiaoqi’s give me a snack today, I don’t know what ingredients it’s made of.”

Zhao Lang asked.

The woman returned truthfully that

“The woman didn’t know what the grain was called, it was brought back by the man of the house’s senior brother, I secretly took a few pieces and made some good preserved snacks for Xiao Qi.”

Here, the woman cried out again.

“The family has almost run out of food, and I merely wanted to take some to eat, but he wouldn’t give it.”

The man came over with a pile of things in his arms and said in a buzzing voice.

“Brother said that this cost hundreds of lives and came from overseas, so we can’t just eat it.”

Zhao Lang then saw the man clutching in his arms, the small pile of stuff still with dirt on it, and his heart jolted!

It was none other than potatoes!

It was a bit small, but it was indeed potatoes!

But instead of making a sound, he spoke to the man and

“I have just heard the lady say that you are a farmer’s heir, so you are a reader too.”

The man said, in a nagging voice

“My master took me in just before he died, and I have listened to his teachings for two months, but I have not read much.”

The woman spoke disdainfully at this point, saying

“What a master, just treating you like an ingrate and tricking you into giving him a deathbed!”

Hearing these words, the man became excited and

“Don’t say that about the master! Once a master, always a father!”

The woman, however, refused to bow her head and said that

“You spent all your family’s money to cure your cheap master, but your person is gone, and now you don’t even have anything to eat.”

“Your brother left behind some grain that I can’t name, I can’t even eat it, you want to see our mother and I starve to death!”

The man stopped talking again at once.

Zhao Lang already knew what was going on and said that

“I really like the snacks made from this grain, I wonder if I can have it instead.”

“I would, how about trading ten pounds of good grain for a pound of grain for you?”

Zhao Lang knew that he wanted to get the potatoes without any problems.

Instead, he could not appear to care too much, and he would not lose his heart if he compensated the family through Xiao Qi later.

Ten catties for one catty!

The woman’s eyes snapped open, thinking that she had met a loser, and said in a loud voice that

“Yes, yes!”

After saying this, she went to grab the potatoes from the man’s arms, but although the man didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t let go, so the woman couldn’t grab them.

The two were at a standstill.

The boy behind the woman spoke up.

“Father, I’m hungry.”

The man’s body jerked and his hands loosened a little.

The woman took the opportunity to snatch the item back and shoved it directly into Zhao Lang’s hand, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

The mud got on his body, but Zhao Lang was full of disinterest and only felt immensely satisfied.

Wangcai, who wanted to come and help at the side, was refused, saying instead that

“Wangcai, go and take down the grain prepared in the cart.”

When they arrived, the attentive Uncle Fu had long since prepared a few of the items most needed by ordinary people.

“Thank you, nobleman, thank you very much.”

The woman could not hide the smile on her face as she looked at the food brought down from the cart.

All this grain, save it, would be enough to feed them for months!

The rest of the day was given to Xiao Qi, Zhao Lang himself held the potatoes and returned to the ox cart.

Putting the potatoes on the cart, Zhao Lang’s heart was filled with joy.

“My lord, you can just leave these things to me, your clothes are all dirty.”

Wangcai, who was responsible for taking care of him at the side, said that he would definitely be scolded again if Zhao Lang went back like this.

“It doesn’t matter, with these things, Uncle Fu will only reward you.”

Zhao Long looked at the potatoes in the car like a treasure.

All he wanted to do now was to go back and plant the potatoes that

“Wangcai, when Xiaoqi comes back we will go back immediately.”

At this point, Hef, who was the coachman, spoke to

“My lord, it is getting late, for safety’s sake, we will camp here today.”

Zhao Lang frowned at once, but he knew one thing, that professionals should still listen to professionals.

These old men, although they were not young anymore, could not hide that murderous aura in their bodies.

It seemed that his own cheap old man had prepared quite well for his rebellion.

“Alright then, I’ll be grateful to the few of you.”

Zhao Lang said.

Soon, a temporary camp, which was quite organized, was built up.

Night was also slowly falling.
