Chapter 261 People who think they are smart

After seeing Wang Lishi, those people avoided her.

No one dared to contact Wang Lishi.

Now Gan Xiucai is so powerful and can manage so many soldiers. It is not worth offending Gan Xiucai just to earn Wang Lishi's money.

Wang Lishi took her grandson and went to several houses in a row. When others saw Wang Lishi, they hurriedly closed the door, as if they were avoiding the plague god.

Wang Lishi was so angry that she cursed at their courtyard gate.

"A bunch of greedy and tyrannical people, you have given birth to sons without skin!"

"When I was rich, you were so polite to me, but now that I'm down and out, you don't recognize me anymore!" "

It's not like I won't give you money, who are you pretending to be?"

Wang Li scolded them, and finally a family opened the door.

She smiled and took out her purse from her arms: "You are the only smart person."

"Here's the money..."

"Three taels of silver and a stone of grain, feed them to death."

As soon as she stretched out her hand, she saw the other party throwing out a basin of dirty water.

"I'll come out and help you wash your mouth. If you keep swearing, it won't be dirty water anymore!"

The grandson distanced himself from her in disgust, "You almost spilled it on me."

Wang Li's clothes were wet, and her face turned pale when the wind blew. Not only did she

not buy food, but she was also splashed with a basin of dirty water for nothing.

When she got home, she was about to complain to her son and husband, but before she could open her mouth, she was slapped in the face by her husband as soon as she entered the house.

"You damned woman, I asked you to get food, but you offended everyone."

Wang Li covered her face with grievance: "Other people go to get food, and I am the only woman."

"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for us to get more food!"

"Dad, now is not the time to talk about this. We only have a little moldy sorghum left at home, which can only last for three to five days at most. We have to find a way to get some food."

Wang Li's son sat at the table, grunting and thinking for a long time before speaking.

"It's daytime now, and the people brought by Gan Fanren are here. Of course, they dare not sell food to us. It may be different at night."

"As long as we offer a high enough price, we won't have to worry about not being able to buy food."

When it was late at night, Wang Li's family quietly went out.

Wang Li went to find a few people she thought she had good relationships with.

Her husband and son also went to their respective good friends' homes.

With a large sum of money, they actually bought food.

Gan Fanren gave each of them two stone of food. Some families had more people and received more food, so he sold them two stone.

These two stones of food were enough for them to eat for several months if they were used sparingly.

Wang Li suddenly felt confident.

The next day, when Gan Fanren carried Gan Tian out, she rolled her eyes at Gan Fanren.

"You villain is in power, let's see how long you can be glorious."

[(ˉ▽￣～)切~~] Gan Tian didn't take her rolling eyes seriously at all.

[She was angry, she was angry, proving that she was deeply aware of the difference between us. ]

[She admitted that she was not as good as us. Gan Fanren

didn't expect that the words "villain in power" would become a compliment in his daughter's mind.

"Go check and see if someone helped her."

"If no one helped her, she wouldn't be so rampant."

Gan Fanren's people went out to check quickly.

They knew that Gan Fanren wanted to shock the villagers, so he made a big fuss about the investigation.

He went door to door to check.

Soon he found out that someone was missing two stones of grain.

When it was found out, the family was still stubborn: "We took some grain out yesterday and just gave it to relatives nearby. We definitely didn't secretly help Wang Li."

"Since the grain was given to us, it's ours. Do we have to report to you how we deal with it?"

Some villagers didn't say anything, but Gan Fanren's expression showed that they were slightly dissatisfied.

The food that Gan Fanren gave them was enough to last them for a few days.

Spring ploughing was about to start, and after it was over, the new rice would be harvested soon.

They couldn't eat so much food, and once the new rice came, it would be worthless, so they might as well sell it now to make some money.

Last night, many people had divided their food and planned to go out and sell it during the day.

Now, seeing Gan Fanren's people counting the food, I felt uncomfortable.

I saw some people's resentment.

Gan Fanren said bluntly: "I give everyone food because we are fellow villagers, not for you to sell it for money."

"If you want to sell it for money! Why don't I sell it myself?"

"Don't blame me for being angry if you sell the food I give out for free."

Food is so scarce now, he can easily sell it even for five taels of silver per stone.

Some people who want to secretly resell food can't help but make plans in their hearts after hearing Gan Fanren's words.

Gan Fanren is not the poor scholar in the past. It seems that he is different now. If he sells the food, he will definitely offend Gan Fanren.

But if he doesn't sell the food, wouldn't he miss the opportunity to make a fortune!

After careful consideration, some people decided to sell the grain.

Some smart people, who were already afraid of the famine during this period, only wanted to hoard the grain and did not think about selling it.

There was still some time before the spring plowing. Before the grain came down, everything was possible. Without seeing the new rice, the grain could not be sold casually.

Gan Fanren had already asked people to secretly observe them.

Anyone who secretly sold the grain was recorded by his people and written on the list.

Soon, another group of soldiers arrived to deliver vegetables and meat.

Seeing that there were free things to be collected, everyone came to line up.

However, the soldiers read out many people's names and drove them out of the team.

"Why are you driving us away?"

"I won't leave, I won't leave."

They quarreled and no one was willing to leave.

But they were just some ordinary villagers, how could they stand up to the well-trained soldiers.

They were driven out like this, and could only watch others get vegetables and meat.

The family that sold food to Wang Li hated Wang Li very much at this time.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't insisted on buying my food, how could I not get the meat?"

"It's none of my business. You were the one who sold it to me voluntarily because you liked my money. Stop blaming me."

The two families hated each other and started fighting.

Wang Li was so desperate that she pulled her hair and told everyone that the other party had sold her food.

After hearing this, Gan Fanren's men took away the food from that family and kept the food from Wang Li's family.

Seeing that their own food was taken away, but the food of Wang Li's family was still there, the other party was unwilling to do anything.
