Chapter 196 Greedy and Shameless
The sugarcane is fine, but what about those damn sweet potatoes and potatoes? They're just grains, good for a few dishes at best, and maybe worth a few bucks when they're few, but if they're plentiful, they'll probably just be pig feed. Yet the boss planted so much in one fell swoop, and I heard he'll plant even more in the second half of this year and next.
If this isn’t just being rich and willful, what is?
Tsk tsk, he also wanted to be rich and willful like that.
Mao Dexing said coldly, "It's normal for the big boss to look down on a family of fugitives like yours. Even if he didn't come, his subordinates would have come, right? Don't lie. Outsiders come to your house from time to time. Do you think I don't know?"
Zhao Liya was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had misunderstood.
However, this misunderstanding came at a perfect time!
"People under the big boss come over to take a look from time to time. After all, this place is quite large. Even if it's a small amount of money, it's still money."
"When will they come next time?"
"It's—it's hard to say."
"Is it really impossible to say?"
"I dare not lie to Mr. Mao."
"snort."
Zhao Liya thought to herself, I wonder when he'll come again. Don't expect to get away with anything when he comes. I'll see how I'll deal with you then, tsk tsk!
Zhao Liya had a hunch that if Brother Zhou were here right now, Mao Dexing would be in a terrible state.
"Maybe you can get in touch?"
Zhao Liya shook her head, trying to act humble and pitiful. "Of course not. The people on the big boss's side are all very bad-tempered and not easy to talk to. They always show up unexpectedly, without any preparation. We are completely unprepared."
Mao Dexing snorted and thought to himself, of course I have to appear suddenly, otherwise what if you know in advance and are prepared and deliberately do something to deceive others?
Can you guess what the big boss is thinking?
Even though they employ you, do you think they really value you? It's a joke!
"Next time if anyone comes, remember to tell me."
"But big bosses don't like to be disturbed."
"Um?"
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Mao when the time comes."
Mao Dexing hummed softly, then revealed a somewhat satisfied expression.
However, he would certainly not be willing to do nothing and just wait for the big boss's men to come and let Zhao Liya and the others go so easily.
"I'll be taking over the sugarcane plantation from today on. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Go and make it clear to the people in Zaihu Village that I'll be in charge of the sugarcane plantation from now on. I have the final say on whether or not to hire them to work!"
Grab the necks of those unruly people and see if they dare to disobey.
Zhao Liya's face paled slightly. "Mr. Mao, this—why don't I understand?"
This guy really has no shame at all and just robs people directly.
In other words, he didn't take Zhao Liya and the others seriously at all. In his eyes, Zhao Liya and the others were just like ants.
As a local emperor second only to the emperor himself, he could of course do whatever he wanted.
"Don't you understand?" Mao Dexing sneered sinisterly, "Miss Zhao, you're in charge of so many things, and you're doing so well, and you're telling me you don't understand? Oh, if you don't understand, then you don't have to understand. Just tell me what I'm saying."
Zhao Liya said slowly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mao, I can't agree to it."
"Say it again!"
Mao Dexing's face immediately darkened, his eyes were as fierce and vicious as a ghost, and he stared at Zhao Liya viciously with his thick eyebrows raised.
If she were an ordinary girl of fifteen or sixteen, she would probably have been frightened by Mao Dexing to the point that she couldn't even stand steadily.
Zhao Liya only felt angry.
"The sugarcane plantation cannot be handed over to Mr. Mao."
Not to mention that there is no "big boss". Even if there is, Zhao Liya would not give it unless the big boss gives the order.
Mao Dexing sneered, "That sugarcane plantation isn't yours. Even if I took it over, it would still be the same for the big boss. Do you think you can just refuse to give it to me? Haha, what a joke! Tell me, is the big boss willing to cooperate with me or you?"
"Don't be so shameless! Don't forget that you are now criminals."
"Even criminals have to eat. The big boss hired us to work, so there's no reason for us not to do it. We have to be loyal to the person who entrusted us with the task. No matter what, we will not hand over this sugarcane plantation. Otherwise, how can we explain ourselves? Mr. Mao, why don't you wait until the big boss comes?"
Mao Dexing didn't say anything else. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhao Liya with cold and fierce eyes.
There was a dead silence in the private room, as if the air had stopped flowing.
The feeling of being stuck makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
After a while, Mao Dexing sneered, "Ha!" "Zhao Liya, what qualifications do you have to say no? You won't give it to me? Then you can get out!"
"Goodbye."
Zhao Liya left the private room quickly and efficiently.
This self-proclaimed "Uncle of the Emperor" was so impressive that he had asked her to stand since she entered the private room. After standing for a long time, her legs were sore.
"Aya!"
Hu Ling was sitting in the lobby downstairs, waiting anxiously. Finally, he saw Zhao Liya coming down and hurried to greet her.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Zhao Liya felt warm in her heart, shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, let's go back first."
"good."
After reuniting with Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang, the four of them went home together.
Yu Xiaofang was so curious that she couldn't help asking. Zhao Liya then briefly explained.
The three of them were furious.
"Oh, shameless!"
“How immoral!”
"He's just the brother-in-law of a county magistrate, yet he's so arrogant."
Zhao Liya: "The county magistrate who ruined the family, the prefect who wiped out the clan, these words are not just talk. The officials in charge now are naturally more fearless, not to mention that the emperor is far away."
Hu Ling sighed, "Ah!"
Yu Xiaofang, also known as Zhao Liya, was horrified by these words and almost despaired. She sighed in relief, "Fortunately, we know General Zhong."
Zhao Liya smiled: "I think so too!"
As long as you have a trump card, you can still be fearless.
When we got home and told the story, the whole family was furious.
Zhao Xiang said, "Mao Dexing will definitely take action. Go to those three villages now and talk to the village heads and clan leaders. Patrol where necessary and keep a close eye on where necessary, especially the workshops. Keep a close eye on everything. There's no guarantee they won't make any moves."
If that despicable villain secretly sends someone to destroy it, all the harvest will be gone.
That kid is so insidious, it’s hard to say!
Zhao Liya and the others did not dare to take any chances, so they quickly agreed and went their separate ways.
Think about it, there are still a hundred pigs in her own pig farm. No, she has to be prepared for poisoning. Unfortunately, there are not enough people now, so Zhao Liya had to hire two people from the village, and asked Han San and Han Si to help keep an eye on them when they are free.
Han San and Han Si only then realized that the county magistrate of this poor place was actually looking for trouble with Miss Zhao. They were immediately furious and sneered, "What kind of person is a county magistrate's brother-in-law? Why is he so arrogant? Miss Zhao, do you want us to teach him a lesson?"
