Chapter 245: Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
A few days ago, we distributed the newly grown vegetables in the fields.
Today is the day to go to the warehouse to collect the main grain.
It's usually rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some corn, enough for everyone to eat for a month.
Wait until the second month and then go to the warehouse to collect it.
Ye Li was busy with work in the fields, so when he went to collect it, it was already evening, but since collection was allowed at night, it was okay.
Every time we go to get food, the whole family goes out, and this time is no exception. Now Winnie is well trained and will not bark even if no one is at home.
At the grain collection area, a small lamp was lit, and two people who distributed grain were sitting outside the warehouse.
The so-called warehouse is a tree house surrounded by six trees. It covers a very large area and can store a considerable amount of food.
"My two brothers, I'm here to collect this month's food." Ye Li said politely.
"Name." One of the guys distributing grain glanced at Ye Li and asked after opening a booklet.
"Ye Li."
"Well..." The young man flipped through a few pages of the booklet, found Ye Li's name, took out the red ink, and asked Ye Li to put a thumbprint on it.
"Okay." Ye Li left a neat red thumbprint and asked with a kind smile, "What are the main rations this time?"
"Wait." The other young man glanced at Ye Li and then climbed up to the warehouse. Not long after, he dropped a bag. The young man under the tree carried the bag over and threw it on the table. He said, "Take it."
Ye Li opened the bag and took a look. There were a few corns and a pile of broken rice in the bag. She grabbed the broken rice with her hand and checked it carefully, and found that the broken rice was a little moldy.
"Brother, this rice is moldy." Ye Li said, "It will be bad if you eat it directly."
"That's all we have. Eat it or not," the warehouse keeper said. "Everyone else gets this kind of rice, and no one says anything. You're the only one who's talking too much. What's the matter? Now that you've brought a little benefit to the tribe, you think you're so great? Haha... Our forest tribe hasn't yet fallen to the point of relying on you for food."
Ye Li's face turned cold. She didn't say anything, but these people kept mocking her. They really thought she was a sick cat!
Ye Li placed the bag on the table and said, "This is the first time I've heard of a warehouse distributing moldy broken rice. Originally, I wouldn't have said anything if it was just me, but it's all moldy. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Even if I bring this up with the Great Elder, I'll demand an explanation."
Ye Li continued, "I see everyone has sweet potatoes and other things, but why don't I have any? Have I offended you two in the past? How dare you withhold our food like this?"
"Don't be so scathing. Why would we withhold your food? The people ahead of you have taken it all, and you came too late, so this is all we have."
"Humph," Ye Li said, "I'm not a three-year-old kid. I don't believe you just because you say so. The Farmland Tribe won't trade food with us anymore. Since there's no food in the warehouse except this moldy rice, I'd like to see what you'll give everyone next month."
The two young men glanced at each other. How did this Ye Li guy know everything? They had hit a snag.
"Wait a minute, I'll go check in the warehouse." The guy who spoke climbed up the tree house again. Not long after, he took another bag of things and threw it down. Another guy took it and gave it to Ye Li, saying, "Let's go."
Ye Li opened the cloth bag and saw that this time it was filled with large and fresh grains of rice, and there were also two bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes thrown in, which was twice the amount than before.
These people really bully the weak and fear the strong!
