"Village chief, let's fight them. Food is our lifeblood. Now someone wants our lives, why bother with so many other things?"
"Yes, the Bamboo Forest Village are bandits. No, they are even worse than bandits."
"Fuck him! Our village has always had good relations with Zhulin Village, and now Zhulin Village is so shameless as to try to establish a relationship with us and even ask us to take away our food. Who can tolerate this? I can't. Come on, come and rob us, and see if the iron mace in my hand will agree."
"Zhulin Village is going too far. If we give in this time, what about next time? And the time after that? Won't Zhulin Village be riding on our heads and shitting on us? Damn it! I can't stand it."
Everyone in Zhulin Village suddenly looked gloomy.
The village chief, Zhu Lei, was particularly cold and threatening, saying, "If you agree to this, Zhulin Village will protect Xingxi Village. But if you insist on resisting, you can't blame us for being cruel."
The villagers of Xingying Village stood at the entrance of the village with sickles, kitchen knives and hoes, and were so angry at Zhu Lei's shameless behavior that they felt heartbroken.
How could there be such a shameless person in this world? He is the village chief and he clearly wants to steal their food, yet he speaks so righteously.
No matter what they say, they are protected. Whether Zhulin Village exists or not, they will live as usual, and their lives will get better and better. Even if Zhulin Village is stronger than them now, one day, they will surpass Zhulin Village and live a good life with no worries about food and drink.
But they never thought that the Zhulin Village would come to the village openly to ask for food, and even asked for half of it.
Not to mention half, they can’t sell the grain even if they pay for it.
This is the life-saving food that Li Mengyue got for them. How could they sell it without taking it seriously?
"We are protecting Xingxi Village. Just don't cause trouble. We live our own lives. What does it have to do with you?"
"Village Chief Li, I respect you as the village chief of Xingxi Village, so I'm giving you a way out. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and lead the way. Let us transport the food, and nothing will happen. Otherwise, hum."
"What are you humming about? What's so shameless about you? Why don't you just ask for food directly? Go to heaven." Li Nian couldn't stand it anymore and retorted.
It was probably Li Nian's retort that gave the villagers an outlet, and they all started cursing Zhu Lei.
"He's so shameless! I've never seen anyone like him. He actually has the nerve to come to another village and ask for food."
"It's really like red rain from the sky. How come there are all kinds of people here? Why don't they just take a piss and look in the mirror to see what they look like?"
"Hey, Village Chief Zhu, don't you have any idea what you look like?"
…
There were people cursing in Xingying Village, and the people in Zhulin Village also became active.
Zhu Sijin, who was standing behind Zhu Lei, saw his ancestor being scolded for the first time and found it quite novel. However, the people in Xingying Village became more and more excited in scolding him, so he also wanted to feel his presence, so he started scolding as well.
However, Zhu Sijin had only cursed for a few moments when he was stopped by Zhu Lei.
Qi Wei and Zhu Lei noticed something was wrong. They came to Xingxi Village to rob food, not to quarrel. At the same time, they also wanted to make it impossible for Li Mengyue to stay in Xingxi Village.
"Village Chief Li, let's be frank. We've already secured the grain for the next day. But I also know how precious grain is in the current situation. So, if you just promise to drive Li Mengyue out of the village, I can buy it from you at two cents per pound."
