All of a sudden, the audience was quiet.
The villagers who wanted to make peace closed their mouths and looked at each other in fear.
Now, what if there are officials coming to find them? Will they all be put into prison?
Moreover, they are also worried that the rice will not be sold in the future.
Every household in Fenghe village is basically farming. Apart from paying taxes, the rest of the food is not only for their own consumption, but also for the owners of grain stores who come here to supplement their household expenses.
Life is not easy. In case no one comes to their village to get food, what will they do?
What if the villagers know that they treat a married woman so harshly and no one dares to talk to their village in the future?
The more people think about it, the more scared they are.
There are several elder, thinking of the situation at home, the family's son (grandson) looked directly at Zhao Si and Zhao Dagen with reproachful eyes.
In this case, the village head can only try to communicate with Lu Xiaohua: "if you have something to say, why do you involve the government? If there is something wrong in the village, you and your husband will have a hard time, won't you?"
"It's hard enough for my family." Lu Xiaohua wiped away his tears and said firmly, "today, either give me food, or see an official, or you will kill me directly!"
Standing behind the crowd, an aunt who was about the same age as Zhao Zhou's had been quietly watching the farce. Until this meeting, she chuckled and murmured: "I thought she was weak and easy to bully. I didn't expect that she could be so strong. It was like this."
When Tian came in and saw that the village head's communication was fruitless, he immediately cheered to Zhou Dagen and said, "don't you return what you owe others soon? Why, do you want to implicate the whole village?"
The older generation are reminded by Tian come in, also have a voice to let Zhou Dagen Zhao Si hurry up.
Even if Zhao Zhou's wife is the village head's daughter-in-law, it's useless in front of these people and can't help her nephew.
Under the pressure of the crowd, Zhou Dagen and Zhao Si had to go home to pick out a bag of rice and a basket of vegetables. They impatiently threw them in front of Lu Xiaohua: "OK, take something and get out of here!"
Lu Xiaohua is not frightened by his evil appearance. Instead, he calmly takes out the contract, opens the mouth of the rice bag, and checks it carefully.
Zhou Dagen's daughter-in-law is still cursing: "what else is good-looking? It's all good rice. There's only so much good rice left at home. I've given it all to you. Aren't you satisfied?"
Say, want to go forward to tie up rice bag afresh.
Lu Xiaohua blocked her hand, smiling and friendly, but not polite: "it's your family's business that you don't have rice in your family. Now you want to give it to me, but my boss bought it with money. How can you blame me for your rice? If you really don't have rice, you can buy it back at the same price."
Zhou Dagen's daughter-in-law had a puff on her face. Tian came in and called impatiently: "OK, Dagen's, let the caretakers finish the inspection. This matter will be solved. Don't waste your time here!"
"You, nobody asked you to come. What are you looking at here?" Zhou Dagen's daughter-in-law is so angry that her eyes are almost staring out, but when she sees Lu Xiaohua checking the bag of rice again, she puts aside her face with a guilty heart and curses with hatred.
After a while, Lu Xiaohua turned over the black rice under the rice bag.
There are also those two baskets of vegetables. They look good on the top, and a few bundles of weeds are stuffed directly under them.
Zhou Dagen and his wife are a little smart. For example, in a bundle of water spinach, what is wrapped outside is indeed water spinach, but inside is a handful of grass. Now it's all dark, they rely on two torches for lighting. If they don't pay attention, they can't find it at all.
It's also Zhou Dagen. They used to do this, and they were addicted to taking advantage of it. I didn't expect that this woman who looked weak and easy to cheat would check them so carefully and uncover their secrets in public.
Tian come in and others who don't like Zhou Dagen directly sneer. The older generation's faces are very ugly. Most villagers are relatively simple. Although they are partial to their own children, they have some doubts about whether Lu Xiaohua is really blackmailing Zhou Dagen.
Now that the facts are in front of us, what else can we say? When we arrive at this meeting, we still want to make up for the number. It's stupid!
Uncle Zhao has a higher seniority in Fenghe village. He felt that he had lost his old face. He scolded Zhou Dagen and Zhao Si on the spot and found a stick to beat them. Several younger generation nearby stopped him quickly.
When the village head saw this, he could not care about his mother-in-law any more, so he black faced and asked Zhou Dagen to go back and take it again.
It's hard for him to be cruel. If he does this again, he will drive them out of the village and save the people in the village.
It took a long time for the two families to arrive late again.
This time, I don't think it's better to replace inferior products with good ones. I'm afraid, but the quantity is obviously less.
Zhao Zhoushi came to Lu Xiaohua's side and kindly wanted to take Lu Xiaohua's hand:
"it's not easy for both of them. This year's harvest is not very good. Just my nephew, there are two little ones in the family who only know how to eat. They had no way before. You are like a fairy, Bodhisattva. For the sake of the two children, don't worry about them."
