"Village chief, let's fight them. Food is our lifeblood. Now someone wants to kill us. Why do we still care about so many things?"

"Yes, the Zhulin Village are bandits. No, they are even worse than bandits."

"Fuck it! Our village has always had good relations with Zhulin Village. Now Zhulin Village is so shameless to try to establish a relationship with us and ask us to hand over our grain. Who can tolerate this? I can't. Come on, come and grab it. See if the shovel in my hand will agree."

"Zhulin Village is going too far. If we compromise this time, what about next time? And the next time? Won't Zhulin Village be the one to shit on us in the future? Damn it. I can't stand it anyway."

Everyone in Zhulin Village suddenly looked gloomy.

The village chief Zhu Lei, in particular, had a cold expression on his face and threatened: "If you agree to this, Zhulin Village can protect Xinghua Village in the future. But if you insist on resisting, you can't blame us for being cruel."

The villagers of Xinghua Village stood at the entrance of the village holding sickles, kitchen knives and hoes, and were so angry at Zhu Lei's shameless behavior that they felt heartbroken.

How could there be such a shameless person in this world? He's even the village chief. He clearly wanted to take their food for free, yet he spoke so righteously.

No matter what they say, they are protected. Whether there is Zhulin Village or not, they will live their lives as usual, and their lives will get better day by day. Even if Zhulin Village is stronger than them now, one day, they will surpass Zhulin Village and live a good life without worries about food and drink.

But they never thought that the Zhulin Village would come to the village openly to ask for food, and even asked for half of it.

Not to mention half, they couldn’t possibly sell the grain even if they were offered money to buy it.

This is the life-saving food that Li Mengyue got for them. How could they just sell it without taking it seriously?

"We are protecting Xinghua Village. Just don't cause trouble for us. We live our own lives. What does it have to do with you?"

"Village Chief Li, I respect you as the village chief of Xinghua Village, so I'm giving you a way out. If you know what's best for you, lead the way and let us take the food away. Nothing will happen. Otherwise, hum."

"What are you humming about? You are so shameless. Why don't you just ask for food directly? Go to heaven." Li Nian couldn't stand it anymore and retorted.

It was probably Li Nian's retort that gave the villagers an outlet, and they started to curse Zhu Lei.

"He is so shameless. I have never seen such a person. He actually has the nerve to come to another village to ask for food."

"It's really like red rain from the sky. How come there are all kinds of people here? Why don't you just take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you look like?"

"Hey, Village Chief Zhu, don't you have any idea of ​​what you look like?"

……

There were people cursing in Xinghua Village, and the people in Zhulin Village also became active.

Zhu Sijin, who was standing behind Zhu Lei, saw his grandfather being scolded for the first time and found it quite novel. However, the people in Xinghua Village became more and more excited in scolding him, so he also wanted to make himself felt and started scolding as well.

However, Zhu Sijin had just cursed a few words when he was stopped by Zhu Lei.

Because Zhu Lei found something wrong. They came to Xinghua Village to steal food, not to quarrel. At the same time, they also wanted to make sure that Li Mengyue could not stay in Xinghua Village.

"Village Chief Li, let's be frank. We have already secured the grain for today. But I also know the current situation and how precious grain is. So, as long as you promise me to drive Li Mengyue out of the village, I can buy it from you at the price of two cents per pound."

Village chief Li was about to speak when he was stopped by Zhu Lei.

"Hey, listen to me first. I know that the grain you buy is two cents a pound. I am willing to buy it at two cents a pound now. You should be content. Otherwise, what will be the consequences? I don't need me to tell you. I believe you all know it."

"Zhu Lei, the two cents per pound you mentioned is absolutely impossible. Miss Yue is from Xinghua Village, and you can't drive her away with just a few words. If you want her, it'll be three cents per pound."

"Village chief, what are you talking about? Without Li Mengyue, how can we have food, let alone sell it?"

After Village Chief Li said this, the villagers of Xinghua Village couldn't believe what they heard. They couldn't believe that the village chief would say such a thing.

"Yes, village chief, didn't you say that we must fight to the death to protect the food? Why did you compromise?"

"No, Village Chief, Li Mengyue helped us get the grain, and we didn't make any money. How can we disappoint Li Mengyue and sell the grain?"

"There are refugees in the town now, and even more in the county. Food will become more and more precious in the future. We don't know when this will end. We have to eat sparingly. How can we sell food so easily?"

"Village head, you know that the price of grain in the town has risen to 20 wen per jin. Even if you want to sell it, it can't be 3 wen per jin."

Village chief Li listened to what the villagers said. Although they were all persuading him not to sell the grain and no one blamed him, he still felt very uncomfortable.

How could he be willing to sell the grain? He wanted to keep the grain more than anyone else. He had experienced famine, and sometimes a pound of grain could be exchanged for a child. Food was sometimes more important than human life.

He knew very well that Li Mengyue's purpose in selling so much grain to the villagers at a low price was clear. It was because he understood it so well that he did this.

No one knew better than him how ruthless Zhu Lei was. He also knew that Zhu Lei came this time with determination and was determined to take the food away.

Because there were too many people from Zhulin Village standing behind Zhu Lei, all of them were strong laborers. Not only were they naked, but he could clearly see that everyone of them had a weapon in their hands, either an axe or a machete.

As for their village, all they have are kitchen knives, sickles, hoes, and shovels. Apart from anything else, they are far behind in terms of momentum. How can they win?

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what the outcome would be. He didn’t want the villagers to get hurt or die at the hands of Zhulin Village.

This was not what he wanted to see. He wanted all the villagers in Xinghua Village to live a stable life without worrying about food and drink.

However, his wish was destined to be unrealized in his own hands, but it was different with Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue is very capable. Although she is just a girl, she is more capable than many men. She can easily come up with an idea to do business. Not only can she make money for herself, but she can also help the villagers make money. Even the six surrounding villages have benefited from it.

They were all grateful to Li Mengyue. No matter what Li Mengyue's original intention was, they had indeed received tangible benefits. How could they possibly drive Li Mengyue out of the village?

If Li Mengyue wasn't a junior, he would have wanted to worship Li Mengyue.

It seems that Zhu Lei came to the village not only for food, but also for Yue girl.

He didn't know when and where Yue girl had offended Zhu Lei, but Zhu Lei's intentions were obviously bad this time and he wanted to get rid of Yue girl.

Not to mention that he is unwilling, the entire Xinghua Village and the villagers of the six villages will also oppose it. How could they ignore the safety of their benefactor?

Yes, that’s right. Now many people in the seven villages have regarded Li Mengyue as their benefactor.
