Bai Hong felt that Zhangjiapo were all poor relatives, so she directly told Zhang Dashan to cut off all ties with Zhangjiapo.

If Qiu Sufeng hadn't complained to Zhang Dashan, she wouldn't have known that Zhang Fan's family had become wealthy, especially Li Chunyan, who had actually partnered with Kelai Restaurant and was rumored to be planning to become its own boss.

She felt resentful because he had been living such a bad life before, but now he was doing better than her, so she wanted to come back and make things worse.

She returned to Zhangjiapo last night and saw Li Chunyan buying cowpeas everywhere, so she wanted to sabotage her.

She continued, "Cowpeas in the city sell for two yuan a pound, and you're shortchanging people by one yuan a pound. What kind of meaning is that?"

Li Chunyan explained, "I went to the city and saw that they were clearly selling them for one yuan each in the market. Don't talk nonsense."

Although the price is the same, she is buying in bulk, and buyers usually try to negotiate the price down by half.

He thought we could all make money together, so he didn't try to lower the price. Now she's being misunderstood, and she feels incredibly wronged.

Bai Hong said, "You're just taking advantage of the fact that people won't come to the city to buy vegetables, so you're driving down prices arbitrarily."

Aunt Pang: "Bai Hong, you've eaten too much salt and you're complaining. What does Zhangjiapo's business have to do with you? Bah! I believe Li Chunyan!"

Bai Hong said indignantly, "I just didn't want everyone to be deceived, so I stepped in to help those in need! You're all in cahoots, of course you're going to side with her, aren't you? Did you take kickbacks?"

"Bullshit!" Aunt Pang was so angry that she pointed at Bai Hong's nose and cursed.

Zhang Tiegen stood to the side, barely suppressing his anger. The scar on his forehead itched with rage. Almost everyone here was a woman; if it were a man, he would have already attacked him.

"I'm angry because my true colors have been exposed!"

Li Chunyan's chest heaved violently with anger. Her throat tightened, and her voice became hoarse: "Am I that kind of person? Brother Qing, Sister Cui, Second Aunt... we already paid the deposit yesterday. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?"

She looked at someone, and that person avoided her gaze, not daring to look directly at her.

They felt a little guilty, thinking that Li Chunyan wasn't that kind of person.

But at the same time, they also felt that what if Li Chunyan really did trick them?

Actually, they had some selfish motives involved.

Human nature is complex. When you are in trouble, they are compassionate and hope you are doing well; when you are doing well, they want you not to become too good, at least not better than them.

Li Chunyan became successful in business, and they were jealous. They thought that since they had more people and didn't deliver goods, Li Chunyan would definitely raise prices, and the money in their pockets would increase.

Zhang Fan: "Sister-in-law, we can just not accept it."

If he hadn't wanted to teach his sister-in-law not to act on her emotions, he would have gone straight to the city to buy groceries and slap these people in the face.

"But..." The kimchi production can't proceed, and the goods for Kelai Restaurant can't be delivered.

However, if the price increases, the cost will be higher, and you won't make much money; it's like working for nothing.

Bai Hong fanned the flames from the side: "We're all neighbors, let's hurry up and take it."

Seeing the silent villagers, Li Chunyan's eyes turned red with anger. The sound of a car driving by drew everyone's attention.

Bai Rou'er drove her Chang'an car and parked it at the village entrance.

A petite figure stepped off the Chang'an carriage, and Bai Rou'er's beautiful face appeared before everyone.

She was wearing a white dress whose brand was unknown, but the fabric suggested it was very expensive.

She wore emerald green jade earrings, had exquisite makeup on her face, and her hair was styled in a bun, giving her a capable, powerful, and commanding presence.

"Xiao Rou." Li Chunyan and Bai Rou'er's relationship was even better than before, and she called her very intimately.

Bai Rou'er smiled sweetly and praised, "Sister Chunyan, you are so efficient, you harvested so many vegetables."

"We haven't started weighing the vegetables yet."

"It's okay, we can just hurry up later."

Bai Hong snorted coldly: "The price is too low, no one will sell it."

Bai Rou'er, a seasoned businesswoman, knew the other party wanted to lower the price. She remained calm and said in an icy voice, "In that case, we won't accept it."

Upon hearing this, several villagers became anxious: "I'll sell it for one yuan and fifty cents."

Li Chunyan was worried that she wouldn't be able to make the kimchi. She thought she would just learn her lesson and suffer a loss. Just as she was about to speak, Bai Rou'er pulled her hand. She understood and said nothing.

Bai Rou'er shook her head: "Whatever price we agree on, that's the price."

Some people gritted their teeth and said, "If you don't want to take them, then don't. These vegetables will rot if we pick them. Just compensate us for the losses, and I'll feed them to the pigs."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Bai Rou'er's lips. Zhang Fan knew that Bai Rou'er was about to unleash her ultimate move.

“We will not pay a single penny back. On the contrary, you should compensate us for emotional distress. According to regulations, the deposit should be returned to us tenfold.”

Many villagers only have a primary school education, and some have never even attended school. The farthest they have ever been is the county town, so they know nothing about the law.

Upon hearing this, many people panicked and stubbornly retorted, "I have no money, but I'd rather die than give you a single penny."

Bai Rou'er calmly said, "It's fine if you don't give it to me. I'll sue you in court and then use your house to pay off the debt!"

The ancestral home is one's roots. Hearing this made people extremely anxious, and some with weaker mental fortitude even burst into tears.

Bai Hong: "Who knows if the law you're talking about is real or fake?"

Villagers: "You cannot break the contract."

“You broke the contract first.” Bai Rou’er’s voice was icy. “I have a lawyer’s phone number here. You can consult me ​​anytime. It costs two hundred yuan per consultation.”

Upon hearing that Bai Rou'er knew a lawyer, everyone seemed to already know that the ancestral home could only be handed over to someone else.

They could have made money, but now they've not only failed to earn a single penny, they've also lost their ancestral home.

These people could only vent their anger on Bai Hong, who had stirred up trouble.
