Chapter 203: Killing Intent (Part 2)

For those who collect grain, they cannot sell the grain unless the villagers sell it to them.

In previous years, when the autumn harvest came, the villagers would sell some 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 their shoulder poles and set up stalls to sell the grain.

None of them had ox carts, so carrying grain back and forth on shoulder poles but not being able to sell it was just a waste of time.

That's why they don't take the villagers seriously.

They felt that in the end the villagers still had to beg them.

A small attendant beside the steward said arrogantly, "Steward Liu, why are you talking nonsense with them?"

"Since the people in Donghe Village are so ignorant, we shouldn't come here to collect grain during the autumn harvest. There are so many villages waiting for us to collect grain."

The manager snorted coldly, "You're right. Even if the people of Donghe Village beg us for food, we won't accept it."

When the villagers heard this, they became panicked.

In the past, they were unwilling to accept the fact that the crops they worked so hard to grow had to be priced by these people. They also suppressed the prices and picked and chose their crops, saying that there were problems with them and deliberately described good crops as inferior.

They tried not to sell to these people, and instead carried hundreds of kilograms of grain on shoulder poles to sell at grain stores, where the price was lower.

When you set up a stall to sell grain, if there is plenty of grain, you may not be able to sell all of it even if you set up the stall for a whole day.

Sometimes I work hard for several days and it's still like that.

Later everyone understood that when someone came to the village to buy, no matter what the price was, even if the price was heavily discounted, they would sell it if they could.

At least that way you don't have to carry a shoulder pole around.

Everyone understands that these people are part of the same gang and have powerful forces behind them, so they cannot be provoked.

"No, Manager Liu, why is it time to stop collecting our grain?"

"Yes, we don't sell grain. That's because we sold it all to you last year. We don't have enough grain at home, so we don't sell it to others. But we will definitely sell it after we harvest it."

No one has an ox cart at home, and if no one comes to the village to collect the grain, they don’t know how to sell it.

Many families are still waiting to sell some food to supplement their household expenses and buy daily necessities.

Some families don’t have much salt left, and salt is so expensive that they can only buy it with copper coins.

When the steward Liu saw them like this, he deliberately snorted at Qiao, "We don't care. We're doing this for your own good. We're here to collect the food and see how the people in your village talk."

"This man is from your village, right? He shouldn't hurt you on purpose."

Manager Liu was deliberately targeting Old Madam Cui.

He was holding back his anger, and if he didn't want to cause trouble, he would have slapped someone in the face.

How dare you challenge him like that?

After hearing what he said, it would be strange if this guy could stay in the village.

She deliberately wanted the villagers to isolate this person and then sell food to them.

Mrs. Cui's face turned pale.

This person is really vicious.

She is nothing now.

The villagers didn't dare to speak carelessly.

But everyone understood that Mrs. Cui meant well and no one would blame her.

You know, after the spring, they worked for the Cui family and earned a lot of copper coins.

If Mrs. Cui couldn't bear to see them succeed, she could just hire someone else to do the job instead of using them.

Besides, we are not stupid, and we can figure out some problems if we think about it carefully.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

"What an arrogant and arrogant tone."

"You won't come to collect the grain after the autumn harvest? Aren't you just waiting to collect the villagers' grain and sell it at a high price?"

"Without harvesting crops, how are you going to make the profit?"

"You're really vicious for trying to draw hatred towards my mother!"

As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo threw the axe in her hand directly out.

The axe flew directly past Manager Liu's ear and stuck into the wall behind him.

Manager Liu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

"You...are you going to kill someone?"

Although the little girl was very young, her eyes were filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent, which made him feel cold.

For some reason he was a little scared.

Jiang Zhiluo clapped her hands and said, "How can you call it murder? I just thought the wall behind was nice. It's a perfect place to stick my axe, isn't it?"

"Look, I didn't hurt a hair on your head, did I?"

"But, I have a bad temper sometimes. If anyone makes my mother unhappy, bullies her, or says something sarcastic about her, I want to stretch my muscles."

As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo clenched her hands and made a snapping sound, as if she was about to take action.

The other villagers in the alley were stunned.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, opened their mouths, and forgot to react.

Manager Liu and his followers all felt the strong murderous intent from the girl.

They didn't want to be afraid, but their bodies trembled instinctively.

The follower who had just been helping Manager Liu was so scared that his lips were trembling.

He saw with his own eyes that the axe passed by Manager Liu's neck, which scared 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 considerate but also protects me so much.

Also, Zhiluo was so amazing just now. She was so excited and relieved just watching her.

Mrs. Cui wanted to scream.

Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Tell me, why are you coming to the village to collect food now?"

Jiang Zhiluo would never allow the steward's words to make the villagers feel dissatisfied with her mother.

Her mother had good intentions, so she wanted to let the villagers know.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "You don't want to tell me, right? I just want to practice."

As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo stood up and took the axe down from the wall.

Manager Liu quickly got up and tried to run.

Jiang Zhiluo kicked a stone with her foot, and the stone hit the legs of Manager Liu and his follower directly.

The two men fell to the ground again.

Jiang Zhiluo came to Manager Liu with an axe and played with it back and forth near his face.

"Don't worry, just tell me when you want to. I have plenty of patience."

The manager was terrified and could only beg for mercy: "Madam, please spare me, please spare me, it was my fault just now."

"I don't want to hear any nonsense."

When Manager Liu saw the look in the girl's eyes, he couldn't help but shiver.

He realized that the girl really had murderous intentions towards him.

He trembled with fear and said, "I am also doing things for others."

Jiang Zhiluo was about to chop him down with her axe when he wailed and screamed, "I'm telling you, there's a war going on outside. The grain prices in Qingzhou have doubled and are still rising. We're collecting the grain and going to sell it over there."

Jiang Zhiluo narrowed her eyes and said, "What else? My patience is limited!"

"If the North Province is affected, the price of grain here will also increase. Even if we don't take the grain to sell there, we can still make a lot of money by storing it in the warehouse and selling it when the price rises..."
