Hearing his almost shameless words, Jiang Ranli wanted to whip him to death, but there were many people around, so she had to explain the pros and cons of the matter clearly to avoid such a situation from happening again in the future.
"It's true that there are other grain stores in the city, but how many people can afford such prices? Our money is not blown by the wind, it is all hard-earned money. Do you want everyone to lose everything and have an unsustainable life just because of your theft?" Jiang Ranli asked sternly.
This time, people were no longer silent and began to speak up to help Jiang Ranli. They were all ordinary people. Although they had some money in their hands, that money was the result of their hard work over the years. Some of them planned to use it for their retirement, some planned to use it to marry off wives and daughters, and more of them planned to use it to maintain their already difficult daily lives.
Now that they are facing a disaster, they have no choice but to use the silver, but the silver is not much. Except for the Jishi Grain Store, they cannot afford to buy food from other grain stores. If the Jishi Grain Store can no longer operate, then their lives will be completely unsustainable.
The man was accused by everyone, but he showed no remorse and even directed his criticism at Jiang Ranli.
"You bitch, you are not a good person either. Don't act so noble. If you really care about us, you should give us food instead of money."
Jiang Ranli laughed at his words. Giving them food without asking for money? Hadn't she done enough? The porridge stalls outside the city provided three meals a day, providing food from morning till night. Looking across the entire city of Jinan, across the entire disaster-stricken area of Shandong, there were no places without their porridge stalls and relief centers.
"How can you be so ungrateful? Mrs. Jiang is the owner of this Jishi Grain Store, and the porridge stall outside the city was set up by her."
"That's right, if it weren't for Mrs. Jiang and Boss Jiang, we would have been unable to survive long ago."
"When times were good in the past, Mrs. Jiang and Boss Jiang's Tianxia Restaurant often helped us. Who the hell are you to dare to slander Mrs. Jiang here?"
. . .
Jiang Ranli didn't say anything, but the people around him started to join in.
After hearing this, the man still maintained a bad attitude and continued to shout while pointing at Jiang Ranli, "If you are so nice, why do you ask people to stop me? Give me these foods."
Hearing his increasingly shameless words, Jiang Ranli could not help but sneer, "If you go to the relief center, my people will give you food, but you steal food in the grain store, then I will never forgive you. Even though the disaster situation is chaotic now, there are still national laws, etiquette, and rules. Your stealing is not only against the law and etiquette, but also against the rules of my grain store. Come, hang him up on the tree for me, so that everyone can see the consequences of breaking the law and discipline. My grain store, Jiang Ranli, is for the people, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and run wild."
After explaining the severity of grain theft and gaining people's support and understanding, Jiang Ranli was too lazy to waste any more words with the man and simply ordered someone to tie him up and hang him on the tree in front of the Jishi Grain Store.
When Jiang Ranli said those words, the man was still dismissive, but when Wang Shaohui and his men really hung him on the tree, he quickly changed his expression and kept begging Jiang Ranli for mercy.
"Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, you are a good person. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again, never again."
