Chapter 175 Stay

Grandma Cao's face was red and white.

Looking at the heated discussion among the country folk below, he gritted his teeth and said, "My family, our Cao family, came here early and has been part of this for a long time. Naturally, we can be their boss!"

Lei Dafu said calmly: "You came earlier than them, so you can decide whether they stay or go. Then my Lei family came earlier than you, so can we also decide whether you stay or go?"

Granny Cao met his gaze and said coldly, "You're not the only one in the Lei family!

There are more than 20 people in your three rooms, how come you alone have the final say? "

Lei Dafu's eyes also turned cold, and his originally cheerful tone turned cold: "Grandma Cao, you may not know that in our Lei family, my father, second uncle and third uncle basically don't care about anything;

Although I'm not a very good eldest brother, my younger brothers and sisters still listen to me, especially when it comes to things like this that are beneficial and harmless. But if you don't believe me, Granny Cao, you can go and ask my father and my second and third uncles yourself."

He said this coldly, without even glancing at the people on the other side, and said directly to the people of Qili Village below: "You can stay here with peace of mind. You can open up and sow seeds on this vacant land as you like, without asking anyone;

The same goes for hunting and picking wild fruits. This mountain range is huge, and everyone has to survive based on their own abilities.

However, the vegetable plots and houses that the Cao family and my Lei family have opened up on the mountainside have nothing to do with you, and you cannot take even a single cent of them.

From now on, just as you said, if there is danger, we will fight the enemy together, and if there is fruit, vegetables and food, we will share what we have."

After hearing these well-reasoned, polite and fair words, the people in Qili Village were almost crying with joy. How could they not agree?

Especially since others had even voluntarily given up their hunting and wild fruit picking opportunities, they all assured him, "Brother Dafu, don't worry. If we take your things, we will definitely not end well!"

"Yes, we are not those people who want to get something for nothing. We just want to have a safe place to live and make a good life by relying on our own hands."

"Yes, there are only benefits to keeping us here, especially since we are in this open space at the foot of the mountain. If any bad guys come, we will be the ones in the most danger. We will definitely have the initiative against the enemy!"

"Food supply may not be guaranteed in the future, but don't worry about fruits and vegetables. If they are available, just take them!"

.....

Finally, Master Jiang stepped forward, bowed, and solemnly promised: "As long as there is extra grain, it will definitely be cheaper than the purchase price of grain merchants outside!

Or you can barter, as long as both parties agree.

We will all live together from now on, so traveling will be inconvenient, so we should support each other more. It will be a good thing for both of us."

"Okay, my name is Lei Dafu. I live on the hillside along this road. If you have any problems, you can come up to find me." Lei Dafu bowed, turned around and left.

The people of Qili Village watched Lei Dafu's strong and sturdy body shuttle through the mountains and forests, and he disappeared after a while.

I was deeply grateful and at the same time, I felt immense envy.

The people from the Lei family can get along!

No wonder the raw material buyers in the city are full of praise for him!

Feng Meng watched the disappearing figure and praised him admiringly, "He's faster in the rugged mountains and forests than I am on a flat road. I wish I had that skill!"

"He is an excellent person, brave and resourceful. He doesn't just grow physically but also mentally. That's really great." Jiang Daxi said with emotion.

After hearing this, the others looked at Feng Meng unconsciously.

Feng Meng was stunned. He touched his head and asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me?"

He has a very good brain!

Grandma Cao, who was sitting on the protruding rock, saw that Lei Dafu didn't even look at her and just decided the matter. Even when she threatened to tell his parents, he turned a deaf ear to her and ignored her.

And this group of lowly people below now don't take her seriously and act directly according to Lei Dafu's words.

"You, you guys"

Shen Qing laughed and said, "It all happened later, so let's stop being so arrogant."

Feng Meng asked curiously, "Aunt, what do you mean?"

Why doesn't he understand?

Shen Qing replied in a low voice: "As long as she understands it, it's fine."

Grandma Cao really understood.

Being ridiculed by a despised peasant woman, her chest heaved with anger as she declared, "Just wait, in one stick of incense the head of the Lei family will come and chase you away!"

"Okay, we'll wait!"

*

Granny Cao left in a huff with her guards.

The people of Qili Village sat casually on the ground and waited.

"Do you think someone from the Lei family will come and let us go?"

"I don't think so. Look at the Cao family, who are so domineering. The Lei family didn't let them leave, so why would they not let us stay?"

"Especially when he said that all the game and wild fruits belong to the mountains, and everyone should rely on their own abilities, I think he is fair!"

Being fair when it comes to one's own interests is true fairness.

"That's right, and I think Dafu left first so he could go back and tell his family about our situation to prevent the Cao family from adding fuel to the fire and smearing us."

"You guys used to be so stubborn, but now you call me brother so easily." Li E joked with a smile.

The boy who was being talked about blushed and said with his neck stiff, "Then he really deserves to be called brother."

Rarely, no one else objected, but instead nodded vigorously.

The boy straightened his back immediately after being affirmed.

Li E was just joking, and her smile widened when she saw this.

A group of people were chatting, and an incense stick of time passed quickly.

What this means is self-evident.

It's not that they don't trust Lei Dafu, but with nearly two hundred of them coming in with such a grand momentum, even if the elders of the Lei family don't come to chase them away, they will at least come over to give them some advice out of concern.

I didn’t expect that none of the Lei family members came down!

It seems that the Lei family trusts Lei Dafu more than they realize, but after a brief contact, they also think that the man is worthy of trust.

Granny Qin said, "The Lei family is a kind family. We're meeting for the first time today. Would you like to pay them a formal visit with a gift?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone chimed in, "We should definitely pay them a formal visit! We'll all be neighbors in the future, and since we're not familiar with the mountains, we might be causing them a lot of trouble in the future. The gift shouldn't be too shabby!"

"I agree. I don't want to contribute a single grain of rice to the Cao family, but I will contribute 15 kilograms of rice to the Lei family!"

She just heard from Dafu that he had a second uncle and a third uncle, so there should be three families. When they were in Qili Village, she couldn't give them out even if she wanted to. Thanks to Shen Qing, now five kilograms of rice for each family can be considered a very generous gift.

"I'll give you fifteen pounds of flour."

"I'm out of rice and flour. Please give me thirty kilograms of grains."

Zhao Mingyue was anxious. She had a lot of soybeans at home, so she shouted, "I'll give you 40 kilograms of soybeans!"

.....

Finally, they are summarized and sent up together by the selected candidates.
