Su Nanxi gently patted her hands, feeling they were a bit dirty, and then vigorously wiped them on her apron!
Tsk!
Oily and sticky, don't these people ever wash their faces?
That's absolutely disgusting!
I feel unwell all over!
I should go take a shower. I still feel uneasy about this, why make myself uncomfortable?
Everyone was puzzled when they saw Su Nanxi turn around and walk inside without saying a word, wondering what was going on.
Mo Qinghe accompanied her inside. He had seen everything clearly, so he didn't ask any questions and went to fetch water for his wife to wash her hands.
Let him come next time. Not only did he hurt his wife's hand, he also got it dirty!
One slap from him could make those people see stars, feel dizzy, and lose their sense of where they are!
It's just swollen there!
If his wife hadn't stopped him, he would have already attacked. His wife said she would only feel better if he hit her herself, so he let her come!
snort!
If it happens again, I'll have my wife wear gloves when I hit her, and then I'll finish her off!
How dare you insult his wife? You're asking for trouble!
Does anyone think they can insult his wife?
Even he wouldn't dare utter a single curse, yet they dare to curse so arrogantly!
Then be prepared to bear the consequences!
When the village chief saw Su Nanxi go inside, he was also confused and didn't understand what Su Nanxi was going to do.
He was furious that the other party dared to insult Su Nanxi, but he held back. He tried to communicate politely at first, but the other party was arrogant and refused to speak properly. In the end, he didn't want to speak properly anymore either.
They can't understand human language at all!
Why bother with polite language? Just say whatever you want to say!
Those local villagers, relying on the fact that they have lived here for decades, have a great sense of superiority. They think that these outsiders should treat them with respect, flatter them, and fawn over them in order to survive!
"Pah! Who gave you the nerve! Who do you think you are, daring to be arrogant in front of me! You are the people here, that's true, and we are the newcomers, that's true, but did we steal from you or rob you?"
Where do you get your sense of superiority, thinking you're a head above us? We're all just peasants, don't think so highly of yourselves. You're just crows, yet you insist on fantasizing like peacocks! Shameless!
"Exactly! What, you think you have some powerful connections that make you so arrogant? Even if you do have powerful connections, we're not afraid of you! We haven't done anything wrong, we're just doing our duty! I refuse to believe there's no law in this world anymore, that you people get to decide everything? You expect us to be subservient to you, to offer you meat as tribute, do you really think you're royalty? Tomorrow I'll go to the county office and ask them!"
"Heh! You really think we're easy to bully? You're the local bullies, but we're not afraid. We can even catch snakes! We've eaten everything along the way, and snakes are just snakes. They're delicious roasted!"
"If you want people to show you respect, why don't you take a good look at yourself? What kind of freak are you? You dare to imitate others and act so presumptuously here! The things in the mountains belong to everyone, so earn them through your own abilities. Trying to steal them without working for them? Are you still dreaming?"
Those people were furious. That's exactly what they thought, but they couldn't say it out loud!
Having their little scheme exposed, those people looked very unhappy and, in a fit of anger and embarrassment, started arguing over saving face.
They're completely wrong, yet they keep rambling on and on, trying to make themselves seem like they're in the right.
Being unreasonable is ultimately being unreasonable; once you start talking, you run out of things to say, and it's just the same few sentences going back and forth!
They take advantage of the fact that they are native locals and should have priority access to various resources. Outsiders who take these resources without their permission are violating their rules and are making a big mistake!
They not only demanded that these outsiders apologize, but also that they hand over everything they had obtained, in order to quell their anger and teach these outsiders a lesson!
If you want to go up the mountain in the future, you must get their approval, and you must give them half of what you get from the mountain, otherwise they will strictly enforce the rules!
"Hahaha! Who are you trying to scare! Do you really think you're some kind of local emperor? What, being a bandit isn't enough, so you've upgraded your ways? The whole world belongs to the emperor! This is the emperor's land, how dare you claim it as your own! Aren't you afraid of being executed along with your entire family!"
"They're incredibly ignorant! How can there be such brainless people here, so close to the county town? We must never associate with these people again, or we won't even know how we died! A single word can destroy an entire family. We value our lives and don't want to get dragged into this!"
"Yes! Stay away! These bullies are clearly trying to take advantage of us newcomers! They'll do it again if they do it once. They don't even know their own worth. Do they think they're cut out for it? We're not so easy to bully! We've seen all sorts of people on this journey. Are you going to be afraid of us?"
Those people, having gained nothing, also made some harsh remarks, showing no fear of these outsiders, as if they were determined to fight to the death.
They probably think that since they've lived here for decades and are considered old people, they have more rights, so it's not unreasonable for them to curry favor with the newcomers!
Even if it gets out, we're in the right!
Which newcomer doesn't bend over and curry favor with the people who are still there?
That's the rule!
They didn't say anything before because it wasn't the right time yet. They needed to settle people down first so it would be easier to get things later!
They never expected that these people were fearless!
They tried everything, from kind words to harsh ones, just to save face, but these people wouldn't give them any!
They are indeed very poor, living off the land, but due to historical reasons, they rarely go into the mountains. They can only rely on their meager few acres of land to make a living. They don't have any skills and have no income, so they really live a miserable life!
Relying on the weather for a living, how can things be so smooth?
If the year is good, then life is better, but if the year is bad, there might not even be enough to eat!
However, this year hasn't had a particularly big impact on them; they can still barely make ends meet. But if they want to eat well or have meat, they can forget about it.
They haven't eaten meat in a long time, which is why they feel so uncomfortable when they smell meat!
They wanted to eat too, and their stomachs started growling uncontrollably!
It's something from the mountains, so they definitely have a share. It's not unreasonable for them to eat some!
But these people are so unreasonable, they're unwilling to give even a little bit!
"I want some too! You guys go get some and we can share them equally!"
Su Nanxi said it casually.
Someone immediately objected, "Why should we split the profits with you since we did it!"
Su Nanxi chuckled, "That's right! Why should we share what we made with you! If you want some, go get it yourself! There's plenty in the mountains! Had enough? Chifeng! Xiangxiang! Show them out!"
"Ah! A wolf!"
