Chapter 203: Killing Intent (Second Update)
For these people who collect grain, the villagers cannot sell the grain unless they sell it to them.
In previous years, during the autumn harvest, people in the village would sell part of the extra grain they harvested to get some copper coins to buy daily necessities.
If the grain is not sold to them, these people will carry poles and set up stalls to sell grain.
Not one of them has an oxcart, so they carry poles back and forth and cannot sell food, which means they work in vain.
That's why they don't take the villagers seriously.
They feel that in the end, the villagers are not begging for them.
A little follower next to Guanshi said arrogantly: "Guanshi Liu, why are you talking nonsense to them?"
“Since the people in Donghe Village are so ignorant, let’s not come here to collect food during the autumn harvest. There are so many villages waiting for us to collect food.”
The person in charge snorted coldly: "You are right, even if the people of Donghe Village beg us, we will not accept their food."
When the villagers heard this, they became panicked.
In the past, they were not convinced. Why could these people set and suppress the price of the food they had worked so hard to grow? They were picky and said there was something wrong with their food, deliberately labeling good food as inferior.
They tried not to sell to these people, but used shoulder poles to carry hundreds of kilograms of grain to grain stores to sell at lower prices.
Going to set up a stall to sell grain. When there is a lot of grain, you may not be able to sell anything even if you set up the stall for a whole day.
Sometimes it’s like that when I’m busy working hard for several days.
Later everyone understood that if someone comes to the village to collect the goods, no matter what the price is, even if the price is severely reduced, they will sell it if they can.
That way at least you don’t have to carry a pole around.
Everyone knows that these people are all in the same group and have power behind them, and they cannot afford to offend them.
“No, Manager Liu, why is it the time has come to stop harvesting our food?”
"Yes, we don't sell food. That's because we sold it to you last year. We don't have enough food at home, so we don't sell it out. But after we collect the food, we will definitely sell it out."
No one has an oxcart at home, and they don’t know how to sell the grain if no one comes to the village to collect it.
Many people are still waiting to sell some food to subsidize their families and buy some daily necessities.
Some people don’t have much salt anymore. Salt is so expensive that they can only be bought with copper coins.
When Manager Liu saw them like this, he deliberately snorted at Qiao: "We don't care. We are doing it for your own good. We come to collect food and see how the people in your village talk."
“This man is from your village, please don’t harm you intentionally.”
Then Manager Liu deliberately targeted Mrs. Cui.
He was holding back his anger. If he hadn't wanted to cause trouble, he would have been slapped in the face.
How dare you challenge him like that.
After what he said, it’s surprising that this man can stay in the village.
She deliberately wanted the villagers to isolate this man and then let the villagers sell the grain to them.
Mrs. Cui's face turned pale.
This man is really vicious.
She means nothing now.
People in the village dare not talk nonsense.
But everyone understands that Mrs. Cui has good intentions and will not blame her.
You know, after spring, they worked with the Cui family and made a lot of copper coins.
If Mrs. Cui doesn't like them, she can just hire outsiders to do the work, why bother using them.
And everyone is not stupid. If you think about it carefully, you can figure out some problems.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
“What a very arrogant and loud tone.”
“You won’t come to collect food after the autumn harvest? Aren’t you just waiting to collect the villagers’ food and sell it at a high price?”
“If there is no grain harvest, how can you make the profit difference?”
"It's really vicious to want to bring hatred to my mother!" As she said that, Jiang Zhiluo threw the ax in her hand directly.
The ax flew directly from Manager Liu's ear and was stuck in the wall behind.
The manager Liu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
“You...are you going to kill someone?”
This little girl was so young, and her eyes were filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent, which made him feel chilly.
For some reason he was just a little scared.
Jiang Zhiluo clapped her hands and said: "How can you call it murder? I just think the wall behind is good, just right for my axe, right?"
“Look, I didn’t even hurt a hair on your head, right?”
“However, I am a person with a bad temper sometimes. If someone makes my mother unhappy, bullies my mother, or talks about my mother in a mean way, I just want to stretch my muscles.”
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo held her hands and made a clicking sound, as if she was about to take action.
Other villagers in the alley were simply stunned.
Everyone’s eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and they forgot to react.
Manager Liu and the followers he brought with him both felt the strong murderous intention in the girl.
They don’t want to be afraid, but their bodies tremble instinctively.
The servant who was helping Manager Liu just now was so frightened that his mouth was trembling.
He saw with his own eyes that the ax passed close to Manager Liu's neck, which frightened him to death.
This girl is so scary.
How could there be such a person in the village?
Mrs. Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo and was so moved that she almost cried.
Wow, my daughter-in-law is so good, even better than my daughter. She is not only caring but also protective of her.
Also, Zhiluo was so awesome just now. She was so excited and relieved just to see her.
Mrs. Cui wanted to scream.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Tell me, why are you coming to the village to collect food now?"
Jiang Zhiluo would never allow what the steward said to make the villagers feel dissatisfied with her mother.
Her mother meant well, and she wanted to let the people in the village know.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Not really, I just want to practice my skills."
With that said, Jiang Zhiluo got up and went to the wall to take down the ax.
The manager Liu quickly got up and ran away.
Jiang Zhiluo kicked a stone under her feet, and the stone directly hit the legs of Manager Liu and his follower.
The two people fell to the ground again.
Jiang Zhiluo came to Manager Liu with an ax and played with it back and forth on his face.
"Don't worry, you can talk whenever you want. I just have the patience."
The steward was frightened after a while and could only beg for mercy: "Woman, spare my life, spare your life, it was my fault just now."
“I don’t want to hear nonsense.”
The manager Liu couldn't help but tremble when he saw the look in this girl's eyes.
He realized that this girl really had murderous intentions towards him.
He trembled with fear and said: "I also do things for others."
Jiang Zhiluo's ax was about to chop down, and he screamed: "I said, I said, there is a war outside. The food in Qingzhou has doubled and is still rising. We collected the food and sold it there. "
Jiang Zhiluo squinted her eyes and said, "What else? My patience is limited!"
“If Beizhou is affected, the food here will also increase. Even if we don’t take the food to sell there, we store it in the warehouse, and when the price rises, we can still make a profit..."
