"Shut up!"
Although Jiang Zehai is not very smart, he can still read people's expressions.
The village chief and the others looked unhappy. If he continued to talk nonsense, it would definitely affect them.
"Jiang Anfu, Jiang Yue is your daughter. You have to give an explanation to the village about this matter."
What's more, the people Jiang Yue brought are not ordinary people.
If the village's food really fell into the hands of bandits... the consequences would be far worse than losing the food.
"This..." Jiang Anfu pursed his lips.
"Village Chief, we really don't know where Jiang Yue is now."
"Don't you know? Jiang Yue has been spoiled by you guys until she has high expectations and low skills. She looks down on everyone all day long. Now that something's happened, you still want to escape!"
When the villagers heard this, their anger grew.
"We don't care. Today, you either compensate us with food or pay us money!"
The food in the village is their foundation.
The first time, Jiang Yue took away all the food. This time, if they had not been prepared, there would definitely be no food left.
It's simply trying to force them to death.
Thinking about it this way, it’s really hateful!
"Where do we get the money..."
"No money? If you don't have money, then go see the official!"
"What?"
Old Zhang took a deep breath, feeling frightened. Others didn't know, but they knew in their hearts that those people were bandits!
If this were to be brought to the attention of the authorities, not only them but even Jiang Zeshan would be implicated.
How could Jiang Anfu be willing?
"Village Chief... No, we'll give you money! Give you money—"
Cheng Renming looked at Jiang Anfu with disappointment in his eyes. "Even if you give them money and the villagers' hearts are appeased, the incident has already happened. The damage you have caused to the village is already done, not to mention the identities of those people..."
"Either you quickly find Jiang Yue, or you leave the village on your own accord."
This was the last respect he gave them.
"Leaving the village? How can that be possible?"
Old Zhang and the others looked up and left the village? Doesn't this mean they were driven out?
This will make people criticize you.
Cheng Renming sneered. Are you scared now? What were you doing before?
"Village Chief, please help us——"
Jiang Anfu was also panicking. "We can't leave the village. The Jiang family has lived in Qingshan Village for generations. If we leave the village, won't that drive us to death?"
"Then why didn't you think of this when you abandoned the village?"
It's not that they didn't have a chance at the beginning. If they had stood together with the village, this situation wouldn't have happened today.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t stand with the village. After all, people are selfish and only care about themselves.
But they shouldn't have colluded with Jiang Yue and told others where the village's grain was hidden.
They are not giving the villagers a way to survive.
"I've already told you that you must compensate for the food lost in the village. Hurry and take it out. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the villagers can maintain their current calm."
It's a good thing that the villagers haven't rushed forward yet. The Jiang family should see the current situation clearly.
"No! We don't have any money!"
There is only so much money left at home, and we have no food left, so we can’t give away any more money.
Old Mrs. Zhang shook her head and spoke firmly.
"If you have the guts, then step over my corpse. Otherwise, don't even think about chasing us away!"
Cheng Renming's face turned ashen.
"Jiang Anfu, if you think so?"
Jiang Anfu looked up, met his disappointed expression, and opened his mouth.
Turning to look at Old Zhang, he said, "Go and get the money from home."
"no--"
"Dad, this won't work. If we don't have money, how are we going to survive?"
Old Mrs. Zhang and Xie Ying spoke in unison.
When Jiang Ying heard this, she bit her lower lip tightly. Why did her family become like this now?
This shouldn't be the case. If Jiang Wan leaves, she should be living a better life...
“Give me money!”
Jiang Anfu's face darkened as he spoke to Old Zhang in a deep voice.
"Give the money to the village chief, and we won't starve to death! If things get worse, we still have the old family."
The old family is living a good life now. They raised him to adulthood and will not neglect them.
If he didn't give the money to the villagers, and they were imprisoned, and the news got out, it would very likely affect Xiaoshan's imperial examination.
I don't know how Xiaoshan is doing now. The last time I went back to the academy, he didn't come back.
Old Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something, but she was frightened by Jiang Anfu's gloomy gaze and dared not speak again.
He quickly turned around and took out the silver and money. Seeing this, Xie Ying seized the opportunity and pounced forward.
"No! You can't hand over all the money! Our second wife also gets a share of this money!"
"Pah—"
Old Mrs. Zhang grabbed her hair and slapped her.
"Bah! What do you mean by yours? This money is all mine! There's no place for you in it!"
Looking at the wooden box in her hand, Old Zhang's face was filled with pain.
But if they were not taught, they would probably be surrounded by this group of people today.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want our family to starve to death?"
Xie Ying glared at Jiang Zehai angrily. This useless thing would never have enough to eat in the future, and he was just standing there without moving!
Jiang Zehai glanced at Jiang Anfu and said hesitantly, "This money belongs to my parents..."
"What do you mean by parents? We also have a share of this money!"
"It was my aunt who got into trouble. Why should we suffer for her? We must get a share of the money!"
