Without Mengyue, they wouldn't have the life they have today.
The village chief wanted to tell the villagers that there was a huge disparity in strength and that they could not act recklessly, but had to wait for people from other villages to come.
But Zhu Lei's words aroused the anger of the villagers.
"Village Chief, let me tell you the truth. Someone from your village called Mengyue has offended a noble. We gave you face and allowed you to drive them away on your own initiative. But if you don't know what's good for you, then you can't blame us for being tough."
The village chief and the villagers didn't know who Mengyue had offended. They only knew that without Mengyue, Xingyi Village would still live the same life as before.
They don't want to go back to the past, they like their current life, so they don't care who the noble person is, they only know that Mengyue is from Xingyi Village, and they will never drive her away.
"Mengyue is from Xingxi Village. You can just drive her away if you want."
"Fuck him, Village Chief, why are you talking so much to the people of Xingxi Village? Why don't we just catch up and take away the food and people?"
Zhu Lei was practicing Tai Chi with the village chief, and the people from Zhulin Village standing behind him couldn't stand this and started yelling.
Seeing someone dare to refute him in person, Zhu Lei kicked the person to the ground.
"Get lost, I'm here, you have no right to speak."
Zhu Lei didn't want to do this either, but the situation was different now, and this was still in Qingshan Town, the territory of County Magistrate Yang, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
If this had happened before County Magistrate Yang took office, he would have started looting without saying a word and would not have been here talking nonsense with the people of Xingying Village. It was only because he failed to get through County Magistrate Yang's connections.
As early as County Magistrate Yang took office, he went to the county government office to submit a letter of surrender. However, after he explained his reasons, he didn't even see County Magistrate Yang. He only got a word from him, asking him to be a good village chief.
Of course he did his job as the village chief well, otherwise how could Zhulin Village develop into a large village of 2,000 people without anyone starving to death every day.
All these were thanks to him as the village chief. But County Magistrate Yang didn't praise him properly or give him any rewards. Instead, he sent him away with just one sentence.
Before he left the county government office, he knew that County Magistrate Yang was different from all the previous county magistrates. This forced him to act with caution and not be as arrogant as before.
But on the way here, he heard from the villagers that County Magistrate Yang had been to Xingying Village and had dinner in the village, which made him extremely jealous.
Xingxi Village is full of idle people. Even if County Magistrate Yang wanted to experience farm meals, he should go to Zhulin Village. How could he eat in Xingxi Village?
Zhu Lei, who had previously been able to suppress his anger, snorted coldly at the thought and threatened again, "Village Chief, don't refuse my toast and insist on drinking the penalty wine. While I'm still in a good mood, you should quickly ask Meng Yue to come out and announce that she will be expelled from the village. At least I'll give you two cents for every pound of food. Otherwise, what will happen next? I'll tell you."
Zhu Lei meant that you don't have to agree to it, they will just continue to rob openly. Now County Magistrate Yang is overwhelmed by the victims and has no energy to care about you people.
The village chief stood there without saying a word.
"What? You think setting up a patrol is enough to protect the food? How naive! The refugees know, right? I was wrong. Of course you know, otherwise you wouldn't have set up patrols. But look at what your patrols have. We're all here to rob, oh no, to buy food, and where are the patrols? Why don't they come out to stop us? Oh, I was wrong again. Not to mention stopping us, they didn't even say a word. That shows the patrols are useless. We rely on just you guys. Once the refugees come, they're easily overrun."
After saying this, Zhu Lei chuckled softly, the threat in his words was self-evident.
"My grandfather said that I advise you to be more respectful. As for food, you can still grow it in the fields, but if you lose your life, it's really gone. And that little bitch Mengyue, she dared to hit me. Today, I, Zhu Sijin, will make her pay the price."
