Chapter 219 Conflict with villagers

Wei Ruo made some concessions.

The village head shook his head, with a firm attitude: "No, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, and there will be no less than one thousand taels a year."

"Is there really no room for bargaining?" Wei Ruo asked.

"No." The village chief refused to budge, with a proud expression on his face.

"Well, then there is no need to continue talking."

Wei Ruo got up suddenly, and was about to leave with Xiumei and Steward Yu.

She walked decisively, not pretending.

Village Chief Wang's expression changed suddenly. He didn't expect that Xu would leave immediately.

This is far from what he expected. He thought that the surname Xu had spent so much effort to find this place, and he was so rich. As long as he had a tougher attitude, things would definitely not be too difficult!

Seeing that Wei Ruo and the others had gone seven or eight steps, Village Chief Wang hurriedly ordered the villagers to stop them.

"Stop! Don't go!"

Wei Ruo turned a deaf ear to Village Chief Wang's shout.

Village Chief Wang saw that Wei Ruo and others kept shouting, so he quickly ordered the young people in the village to go up and stop them, "Stop them!"

Several young people in the village rushed to Wei Ruo and the others immediately, blocking the way of Wei Ruo and others.

Wei Ruo was forced to stop and looked back at the crowd: "What does Village Chief Wang mean?"

"Master Xu, please don't leave in a hurry, sit down and continue talking." Village Chief Wang's face was a little ugly, but he still put on a tough stance.

The life in the village has been difficult for the past two years. Finally, someone came to give them money, so naturally they couldn't just let them go.

As the head of the village, he came out to negotiate prices on behalf of the villagers. After the negotiation, not only did he get more money, but he was also more loved by the villagers.

But if the talks collapse and everyone loses such a sum of income, the villagers will have opinions on him, which will affect his prestige.

He knew that he had made a mistake in his judgment. This person surnamed Xu was not as easy to handle as he expected, but the matter has reached this point. For his face and for the benefit of the villagers, he can't just let this person surnamed Xu so go away.

Seeing this, Steward Yu was a little annoyed. If he had known that he would meet such unreasonable villagers, he should have brought more people with him when he and his boss came. There is no shortage of strong and healthy men in their village.

The village head of Wang Village dared to be so arrogant because he saw that they brought only a few people. At the same time, although their owner was wearing expensive clothes, he was a businessman who bought land to open a winery, not an official background.

Xiumei leaned towards Wei Ruo subconsciously, ready to protect Wei Ruo at any time.

"But Village Chief Wang just said that the price can no longer be negotiated, right?" Wei Ruo said.

"The price can't be negotiated anymore, but the business can definitely be negotiated again." Village head Wang replied.

He is the head of the village, and he must not go back on his word after he has said everything.

Even if he uses tougher means, he still has to negotiate the business according to the price he proposed. As long as the talks come to an end and the villagers can get more money in their hands, then what he did today is correct, and no one dares to say anything bad about him!

"The village chief wants to buy and sell by force?" Wei Ruo sneered. She had met someone who had a difficult negotiation before, but it was the first time she had encountered such an overbearing and unreasonable person.

Village head Wang said to Wei Ruo with a cold and arrogant expression: "Don't say that buying and selling by force is so ugly, our Daqingshan is a good place, with green mountains and green waters, otherwise Mr. Xu would not have worked hard to come to us to buy land. "

"Daqingshan is really good, but the village chief seems to have forgotten one thing. I chose Daqingshan because other conditions are comparable. If your price is too high, Daqingshan is not the best solution for me. I can Choose other places, there are many good places with mountains and rivers around Fucheng, not just Daqingshan." Wei Ruo replied.

Hearing this, the villagers all had anxious expressions on their faces, and were even a little annoyed by their village chief's decision.

If the village head is not too busy, then each family can get one tael of silver and ten cash per year, and life will be much easier!

It's all right now, the bamboo basket is empty!

Some villagers were a little impatient, and villager Wang Qi took Village Chief Wang's arm and said, "Village Chief, why don't we just forget about it and don't cause trouble."

"Don't talk that nonsense! You don't want Erniu from the Niu family to marry a wife? If you get one hundred taels of silver, your family can get four taels of it! You can give Erniu a daughter-in-law and you can spend two taels of silver to build a house !” Village Chief Wang scolded angrily.

Wang Qi, who was a little cowardly at first, fell silent when he heard about four taels of silver and marrying his son a wife.

Wang Ergou's family whispered again: "Just keep the original price, and get less if you take less."

"What do you know, you woman? There is no problem with the price I mentioned. If you want to do it, do it according to the big one!" Village head Wang was tough.

Other people who originally wanted to say something also fell silent after hearing what the village chief said.

The past two years have been difficult for everyone. The harvest in the fields is low, and a severe winter has just passed, and there is no food in the family. If it is good, people can eat for another two or three months, and if it is bad, it may not be able to last for a month.

In any case, they will not be able to support this year's grain harvest, and they are destined to fail. So the money surnamed Xu is very important to them.

Regardless of whether they agree with the village chief’s approach or not, they can only follow the village chief’s lead and try to get money.

After appeasing the villagers, Village Chief Wang said to Wei Ruo with a stern expression: "Mr. Xu has no other choice. Daqing Mountain is the best and only choice for Mr. Xu. In the land of Qingshan Valley, our whole village will help you successfully complete the construction of the brewery."

Wei Ruo replied: "If you want to use coercion to make me submit, then I can only tell you that your calculation is wrong. Even if you beat me to death here today, I will not pay you a penny."

Wei Ruo's attitude made Village Chief Wang's expression very ugly.

"If Mr. Xu refuses to do this business today, I can only leave Mr. Xu to live in our village for a few days." Village Chief Wang said coldly.

Things have come to this point, there is no way he can just let it go!

Village Chief Wang didn’t dare to directly steal money from Wei Ruo, but as long as Wei Ruo was forced to sign the paperwork, it would be reasonable and legal for him to take the money.

Speaking of which, Village Chief Wang ordered the village's strong men to invite Wei Ruo and others into the ancestral hall.

Among the villagers, there are those who are afraid and hesitant, but there are also those who are bold and greedy for money and want to fight. The courageous villagers obeyed Village Chief Wang's instructions and surrounded Wei Ruo, Xiumei and Yu Guanshi with farming tools such as rakes, shoulder poles, and hoes.

Seeing that they were about to make a move, suddenly a group of people riding tall horses appeared at the entrance of the village.
