Living in Qingshan Town, I know what's going on in Zhulin Village, even if I don't know it clearly, I have heard about it. The villagers of Zhulin Village are not ordinary people, they are worse than bandits.
On weekdays, they dared not have any interaction with Zhulin Village, and would not have anything to do with Zhulin Village during weddings and funerals, for fear of inviting a wolf into the house and making life difficult for the whole family.
But even so, they still couldn't escape the fate of being bullied by Zhulin Village.
Village chief Li was pale at this time, coughed a few times, and looked very ugly.
It was obvious that a noble person had come to the village, and the villagers were about to escape from their poor lives and no longer have to worry about not having enough food and clothing.
The village is also building a reservoir, so when we grow crops in the future, we won’t have to rely on luck anymore and will be able to achieve a good harvest.
But before the good days lasted a few days, they were targeted by Zhulin Village again. Could it be that Xinghua Village was only worthy of living a hard life and had no chance of turning things around?
No, no, they cannot compromise. They had made the same mistake once 20 years ago, and they cannot make the same mistake again 20 years later.
Things are different now than in the past. Li Mengyue sold the grain to them at a low price for the sake of the villagers.
You have to know that during famine years, food is life. Sometimes even if you have silver you can't buy food. Therefore, even if he dies here today, he will never hand over the food.
Denial is not an option. Since Zhu Lei was able to lead the villagers to the village, he must have received confirmed news.
Although they were very careful when transporting food, they were afraid of attracting other people's attention and attracting people with impure intentions.
Unexpectedly, they were caught red-handed by the people of Zhulin Village. Since the people of Zhulin Village knew that their village had food, they must be aware that other villages also had food.
He knew that Zhu Lei and his men had robbed their village, and they would not let other villages go either, and would definitely come back one after another.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Li, who had been in despair, suddenly became clear-headed. Just because their Xinghua Village together could not defeat Zhulin Village, it did not mean that several villages combined could not do it.
So Village Chief Li whispered something in Wang Erniu's ear, and Wang Erniu handed Village Chief Li over to Li Youliang, and he ran away.
Zhu Lei saw Wang Erniu leave, but he didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, Wang Erniu was just a young man who had no say in the village, so even if he left, it would not cause any waves.
What's more, he really made full preparations just in case and basically brought all the strong laborers in the village.
It can be said that there are only some old, weak, women and children left in Zhulin Village now. If someone comes to their village to steal things at this time, they will definitely succeed.
However, he believed that no one within a radius of dozens of miles who had heard of his name, Zhu Lei, would dare to enter the village. After all, no village could withstand the revenge of him and his villagers.
Zhu Lei was very confident. He didn't think that Xinghua Village would not take out the food. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
Originally, he had not intended to do anything extreme, and he had to give Xinghua Village some money, because the price of food had risen sharply. The fine grain that used to cost five cents per catty had now risen to twenty cents per catty, a full four times the price.
The key point is that you can't buy food with just silver. He knows that based on the current situation, food prices will rise to sky-high prices within a month. By then, no matter how big the problem is, you will not be able to buy food.
