But the situation is different now. The price of food has increased seven or eight times compared to before, and the key point is that anyone with money can buy food.
She had passed by a grain store when she went to the county before, and saw a long queue in front of the store, and even then many people could not buy grain.
Not to mention that Liu Quan wanted to buy tens of thousands of kilograms of grain at once, which was almost impossible.
Nowadays, even the big grain farmers in Wuning County will not sell their grain, but will hoard it and wait for the right time to make a fortune.
In this situation, Liu Quan would naturally be anxious about food. Knowing that there was food in Xingyi Village, how could he let it go easily?
Zhu Lei and Liu Quan and his group wanted to force the sale, and the villagers would naturally not agree, so it was understandable that they would fight.
However, she also noticed a phenomenon: all those who were injured were from Xingxi Village, while no one was injured in the other six villages.
She knew what happened without a second's guess. It must have been the people from Xingyi Village and Zhulin Village who clashed first, and then the six villages came to support them, which led to the stalemate.
As for why the villagers were willing to give up their grain, there were certainly other reasons.
Li Mengyue looked at Liu Quan who was still kowtowing and said, "That's enough, stop kowtowing."
"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."
Although Liu Quan did not kowtow, he did not dare to stand up.
"Tell me, how did you threaten the villagers so that they willingly gave up their food?"
"Well……"
Liu Quan raised his head and carefully looked at Li Mengyue's face, then looked at the man beside Li Mengyue, struggling over whether he should say it out loud.
He was afraid, worried that if he told it, he would end up in a miserable situation.
But facing Li Mengyue's question, he couldn't just remain silent.
However, when Liu Quan hesitated for a moment, Li Yan stood up and told him everything that had happened in the village in a clear and organized manner.
Li Mengyue also understood why the villagers, who regarded food as their life, would compromise easily, and all the food in the granary was moved out.
At this time, Li Mengyue did not look at Liu Quan or the villagers, but at Xie Ruiyuan.
Xie Ruiyuan also understood what Li Mengyue meant from her eyes.
In fact, Xie Ruiyuan felt a little wronged about Li Mengyue's questioning. He has only had one woman all along, and that is Li Mengyue.
Not to mention that Li Mengyue is pregnant with his child now. Even if she is not, Li Mengyue is still his chosen princess and his only woman.
He didn't know who the second young lady of the Xiangfu was. It was simply nonsense to say that the second young lady was his future princess.
"Ayue, don't listen to what outsiders say. You are my only woman, and the position of princess is also yours."
Li Mengyue felt sweet in her heart as she watched Xie Ruiyuan anxiously explaining to her.
[Host, don't believe me. There's a saying, "Men's words are deceitful." A man of such high rank and power as the Prince of Chen must have many women offering themselves to him and climbing onto his bed. Even if the Prince of Chen isn't tempted, he'll still accept all of them. After all, they're offered to him, so why refuse them?]
Li Mengyue was originally about to scold Liu Quan for talking nonsense and slandering the reputation of Prince Chen, but after hearing what Tuanzi said, she suddenly felt that it made sense.
