Lin Jiuyue looked at the crowd as he spoke, and finally his eyes fell on the leader.
The leader stood up when he saw Lin Jiuyue's gaze on him.
"You black-hearted merchants, you clearly have food in your shop, but you lied to us and said you had no food. Aren't you just worried that we can't afford it because we are poor?"
"I'm telling you, I have to buy food today. If you don't sell it to us, we'll come and rob you, and you won't get a penny."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she was so angry that she laughed.
"So, you're planning to rob us openly? In broad daylight, right at the foot of the capital, aren't you afraid I'll report you to the police?"
Since ancient times, ordinary people have never fought against officials. What ordinary people fear most is seeing officials.
"You, stop trying to scare us. We're all desperate, otherwise we wouldn't be blocking the door of your grain store. If you sell the grain to us, we won't steal it."
A sneer appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.
"My grain shop has been open for quite some time. I'm sure you've heard that we mainly sell high-quality grain. Are you sure you're willing to spend the money to buy high-quality grain?"
The leader was stunned.
There are several grain shops in the town, and everyone knows more or less what the prices are in the shops.
However, coarse grains are unavailable now, and high-quality grains are also in high demand. As long as they can be bought, the price may be a little higher.
"Little girl, fine grains are for filling our stomachs, and coarse grains are also for filling our stomachs. If you don't sell the grain to us, when the war spreads to the capital, how can a little girl like you protect all this grain?"
When Lin Jiuyue heard the leader's words, she nodded in agreement.
If I were an ordinary woman, I might not be able to keep these foods during the war.
But the problem is, I am not an ordinary woman!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to sell food to these people, but he has already promised to send the food to the border.
"What you said makes sense, but you overlooked one point."
When the leader heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he asked subconsciously.
"What?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled, and her expression seemed a little casual.
"That is, I am not an ordinary woman."
The leader was stunned.
"No matter what you mean by that, we don't care if you're an ordinary woman or not. We just need to buy food! If you sell us food, then everything will be fine. If you don't, we'll really come and rob you."
Lin Jiuyue smiled indifferently.
"If that's the case, then what are you still standing there for? Come and rob us! My family's food is waiting for you to come and take it."
When the leader heard Lin Jiuyue say this, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
That means the owner of this grain store must be crazy!
"Don't force us, we will really rob it."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
I am usually used to keeping a low profile, and these people think I am easy to bully. They want to bully me at any time. Do they really think I am a weak woman?
It just so happens that these people are causing trouble here, so I'll take action against them today.
Lin Jiuyue, who was standing right in the middle of the grain shop entrance, moved to the side and made room at the entrance.
"The door is open."
The leader looked at Lin Jiuyue in disbelief.
I had no intention of coming to this shop to steal food, I just heard from others that this shop had food for sale. And my family was a weak woman, and there was no one to support me.
I just came up with this trick. Who knew this girl would be so stubborn and wouldn't give in no matter what.
I have already said those harsh words. If I don’t do something now, I won’t be able to hold my head up when I go out in the future.
But the owner of this house is a weak woman. If she is forced to buy food at her own expense, her reputation in the future will not be good either.
The leader stood there in a dilemma, not knowing whether to go in or not.
"Little girl, aren't you afraid that we'll go in and steal the food?"
Seeing that this man did not seem to be a conscienceless person, Lin Jiuyue spoke.
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Do you think I would dare to open this grain store if I didn't have some skills?"
Lin Jiuyue only mentioned this once, and the leader immediately reacted.
Yes, if you don't have some skills, how dare you open this grain store? Grain is so precious, especially in the current situation.
Other grain stores have closed down, but hers is still open. Doesn't this just prove that this girl is no ordinary person?
The man's face suddenly turned ugly when he thought of this.
Seeing the man's look, Lin Jiuyue knew that he must have realized that he was being used.
"Hey, big brother, my grain shop has been closed since this morning. I don't know where you heard that my grain shop still has grain? Are you being taken advantage of?"
"Oh, whoever spread the news really had no good intentions. He knew that I had no food to sell, but he still encouraged you to come and buy food."
"By the way, you just said that if we don't sell you food, you'll come and rob us. Could this idea also have been suggested by the person who delivered the message?"
Lin Jiuyue said in pretended surprise.
When the people who were gathered at the door of Lin Jiuyue's grain shop wanting to buy grain heard what Lin Jiuyue said, their faces became uglier than each other.
"Where did you get the news? Did a young man tell you?"
"Oh, could it be that he was the one who told you the news?"
Lin Jiuyue looked like she was listening attentively, but her attention was actually focused on the person wearing grey clothes at the corner of the street.
Lin Jinshan, this idiot, came up with such a bad idea to these people, and he didn't even know to stay away from the scene! Isn't this just waiting for me to arrest them?
I've heard that criminals usually return to the scene of their crimes after committing them! It seems this is probably true.
After listening for a while, Lin Jiuyue finally spoke.
"Is that the man you are talking about, him?"
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she pointed a finger at Lin Jinshan at the corner of the street.
Lin Jinshan was waiting not far away, wanting to see Lin Jiuyue's miserable state. Unexpectedly, Lin Jiuyue suddenly pointed at him.
When the people gathered at the door of the grain shop heard Lin Jiuyue's words and saw Lin Jiuyue pointing his finger behind him, they all looked back.
Lin Jinshan had no time to hide and was seen by everyone.
"It was him, it was him. He told me that this store still had food for sale, so I came here to buy some."
"Yes, he was the one who told me the news. Otherwise, how would I know that this grain store still had grain for sale?"
Seeing Lin Jinshan exposed under everyone's eyes, Lin Jiuyue was satisfied.
