Just as he was getting anxious and angry about this matter, to his surprise, his grandson Zhu Sijin brought a man home, who was Master Liu, a subordinate of the second lady of the prime minister's mansion.

Although he looked down on Master Liu, he knew that Master Liu represented the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was a very prestigious family. Not only had he not dared to think about it before, he had never even heard of it.

And now he actually has the opportunity to enter the sight of the second lady of the prime minister's mansion. How can he not be surprised?

If he could get an appointment with the second young lady, I believe the Zhu family would be able to change its fortunes in no time, which would be a real blessing for the family.

Therefore, he had to seize this opportunity no matter what, since Xinghua Village and the other six villages were all related to Mengyue.

Mengyue is someone that Master Liu wants to deal with, in other words, someone that the Second Young Lady wants to deal with. He will naturally spare no effort to help the Second Young Lady achieve her wish and make sure that Mengyue will never be able to "jump around" again.

He wanted to see whether Xinghua Village would allow Mengyue to live in the village in the future, as all seven villages had lost their food due to Mengyue's influence, and whether the other six villages would lend a helping hand.

He believed that it would not happen. It was absolutely impossible. After all, people are selfish. They would think that if it weren't for Mengyue, the food would not be stolen and they would not starve.

When Zhu Lei thought about how he and his family would become successful in the future, move to the capital, and arrange a wedding for the second daughter of the prime minister's mansion, he couldn't contain his excitement and his face turned red.

The people in Xinghua Village across the street didn't know why Zhu Lei's face was blushing with excitement. They only knew that Zhu Lei brought his men here to steal their food.

Although the grain was purchased from Mengyue by the village chief in the name of the village, it will not be distributed to every household.

But they knew that even if the grain was kept in the village warehouse, it would eventually reach the hands of the villagers and would be no different from their own food, so they had to protect it at all costs.

Another point is that they also heard about the incident of twenty years ago from the old man.

At that time, Zhu Lei led people to rob five wild boars in the village. When the villagers went to get them back, not only did they fail to get the wild boars back, they were also beaten.

Twenty days passed. When everyone in Xinghua Village heard this, they were furious and wanted to fight with the people in Zhulin Village immediately to avenge what happened twenty days ago.

However, he was stopped by the village chief. Village chief knew very well what kind of people were in Zhulin Village. They were worse than bandits. Talking to them was more like dreaming in the daytime than reasoning with them.

There are so many people in Zhulin Village who have enough food and drink, and the villagers are all strong and healthy, while the people in their village are too thin and small. If they really fight, they will never be the opponent of Zhulin Village.

He was waiting for Wang Erniu to come and save him.

But nothing can satisfy everyone. The village chief can stop the villagers from taking action immediately, but he cannot stop them from venting their dissatisfaction.

So the people of Xinghua Village started talking about Zhulin Village.

"Village chief, the people of Zhulin Village are shameless. We can't give them food."

"Yes, Village Chief, the food is life-saving food given to us by Mengyue. Even though our village has paid for it, without Mengyue, where would we get the food? We cannot let Mengyue down."
