Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Lian Rongrong looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was a middle-aged man. The man had an honest and upright appearance, but his eyes showed hostility towards Lian Rongrong.

"Brother, we will not treat you unfairly; we will definitely give you more money than the market price."

Our family still needs to travel, and we really need a vehicle.

"Just because you need it doesn't mean we have to give it to you. We need it too."

Although we'll be using these donkeys this year due to the heavy snow, if things really get really tough, we can still slaughter them for meat.

Silver is indeed useful in normal times, but in the current situation, where we don't even know if we can survive, what use is silver?

Can it be eaten as food, or used as firewood?

Although the man spoke harshly, even Rongrong had to admit that he was a man of great wisdom.

However, the current situation is far from what he described. In order to help the villagers get through this crisis, Lian Rongrong has brought out a large amount of food.

"Brother, look at these supplies. Half of the rice and grain, plus the food and game you've already stored, should be enough to last until spring."

"When spring comes, take the money and buy some livestock; life will surely be much better than it is now."

Lian Rongrong thought she was trying to come up with a win-win solution for everyone, but to her surprise, the man suddenly bristled and shouted:

"What did you say? Half the rice? How can it be only half the rice?"

The man's words immediately made Lian Rongrong realize the problem, but she still calmed herself down and patiently explained:

"Of course it's half. We're the ones who found this, so it shouldn't be wrong for us to each take half, right?"

"You're kidding!" the man glared angrily. "This thing was found in our village, so naturally it's all ours."

Even if you didn't see it today, do you think we won't look for it ourselves? You want to take half? Dream on!

Lian Rongrong never expected that the man in front of her would be so unreasonable and argumentative.

Lian Rongrong knew very well that arguing with such a petty person was pointless.

But when she looked at Muramasa, he deliberately avoided her gaze.

At this moment, the villagers inside the temple began to shout.

"That's a ridiculous idea, they want to take half of our food."

"That's ridiculous."

“I told you we couldn’t save these people of unknown origin.”

The noise around her made Lian Rongrong very irritable, as was Wang Yang.

No one could have imagined that Wang Yang's recklessness would one day play such a significant role.

Although Wang Yang's martial arts skills were mediocre, he always liked to carry a sword with him. It wasn't for any other reason than to save face.

Wang Yang was not the same kind of person as Lian Rongrong and Lian Yijun. In Wang Yang's view, since Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue found these things, they belonged to the Lian family.

Lian Rongrong's promise to give half to the villagers had already angered Wang Yang, but now those lowly people were going to push their luck even further.

Wang Yang drew his long sword from his waist and with a powerful swing, cleaved the wood beside the fire in two.

"Come on, repeat what you just said to me? All of this is yours?"

Wang Yang, a spoiled brat, in such an extreme environment, if no one stopped him, who knows what outrageous things he might do.

"What are you doing? We just took you in." Muramasa, who had been pretending to be stupid, finally spoke up.

But Wang Yang wasn't buying it. "Take us in? What? You think we can't survive without you?"

Furthermore, we've already remembered our goodwill and are willing to share some of what we've found with you. But you lowly people..."

Wang Yang pointed his sword at the crowd, looked around, and then continued, "Shameless! You're pushing your luck!"

Seeing that Wang Yang was getting more and more agitated, Lian Jinghuai wanted to get up and stop him, but Lian Rongrong stepped forward and pressed her father down.

“Father, these people are greedy and insatiable. Evil people will be punished by evil people. Perhaps Wang Yang’s nonsense is not a bad thing.”

All we need to do is keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any casualties.

As she spoke, Lian Rongrong gave her second brother, Lian Yicheng, a look. These two siblings were just as "mischievous."

Lian Yicheng understood what his younger sister meant from her glance. He adjusted his expression and then rushed to Wang Yang with a nervous look on his face.

"Cousin, you can't make the same mistake again. Your murder case from last time isn't completely over yet."

If something goes wrong today, wouldn't the entire Liang family be implicated?

Lian Yicheng seemed to be pulling Wang Yang with all his might, but in reality, he wasn't using any strength at all.

Wang Yang was initially taken aback, wondering what his second cousin was rambling on about.

But when he looked at Lian Yicheng, he found that his second cousin was winking at him incessantly.

Although Wang Yang was lazy and gluttonous, he was quick-witted. He immediately understood Lian Yicheng's meaning, and then put on an even more ferocious expression, saying:

"What's there to be afraid of? We can just kill them all!"

When Wang Yang said this, most of the villagers who had been shouting earlier had already shut up.

But no matter where you are, there are always some people who are not afraid of being scared or dying. Like that middle-aged man who initially started the trouble.

"Muramasa, do you see this? This is the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf. We kindly saved them, but in the end they want to kill us?"

Don't be afraid, everyone. There are so many of us, and they have the elderly, women, and children. We'll fight them if necessary!

"Alright, dog, stop fooling around!" Muramasa stepped forward and shouted to the man, "In times of great disaster, everyone is having a hard time. Let's each take a step back."

Seeing that Muramasa was softening his stance, Lian Rongrong quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Muramasa is right, let's both compromise."

Although these things were found in the village, if we hadn't discovered them, they would probably be buried in the deep pit tomorrow.

Honestly, are you really confident you can find it?

Lian Rongrong looked around, while Wang Yang still glared at the crowd with his sword drawn. Whether it was Lian Rongrong's words or Wang Yang's sword, the villagers calmed down.

Seeing that the villagers had stopped arguing, Lian Rongrong continued, "We'll compromise again. You can have two-thirds of the grain; we only need one-third."

"You brat, what did you say?" Before the villagers could react, Wang Yang was already in a bad mood.

Lian Rongrong turned her head and glared fiercely at Wang Yang. For some reason, Wang Yang suddenly lost his temper.

Lian Rongrong turned around and added, "But the rest of the things have to be given to us. I mean the strange things besides the food."

"What do you want that thing for? It's neither edible nor drinkable?" The middle-aged man was clearly a guy who talked faster than he thought.

Lian Rongrong smiled slightly and replied, "Then don't worry about it. We're business people; we just like new things."

"Okay, that's fine!" The village head represents the highest authority in the village and naturally has the power to decide on all village affairs.

Seeing that the other villagers did not object, Lian Rongrong gave her second brother a wink. Lian Yicheng immediately disarmed Wang Yang.

Lian Yicheng's swift movements also happened to fall into Qi Yuan's eyes.
