Chapter 252: Bitter meat scheme

Chapter 252: The Bitter Meat Scheme

Li Chang Sun's eyes darkened when he heard this. A cheap girl who had fled from famine dared to treat him like this.

He is the chief of the village and is in charge of the major and minor affairs of several nearby villages. Anyone who dares to offend him will never think about living a peaceful life in the future!

However, Mr. Sun Li also had concerns in his heart. After all, the Gu family is not a family without support. They are protected by the county captain. And the Gu family went to Fucheng and got involved with the officials in Fucheng. This kind of reliance was incomparable to him.

Mr. Sun was very jealous. What kind of luck did the Gu family have? Why doesn't his Sun family have such good luck? !

“Li Chang, what should we do?” the man in his forties and wearing a blue shirt asked in a low voice next to him.

Li Chief Sun is not a fool to be able to sit in the position of chief. He knows that the Gu family has a good relationship with the Wei family of Jiang County, and also knows that the Lu family has suffered a great loss at the hands of the Gu family.

However, he came prepared today.

Sun Lizhang's hand behind his back moved. An old man in patched robes stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Gu Jinli and said, "Little baby, you misunderstood. Today Sun Lizhang came to Gu's workshop to ask for tofu and seasoning." The spices are all forced by us.”

The old man wiped his tears and said: "Several villages near us are poor. In addition to farming, every household can only work hard to earn money, but the money earned is only enough to support the family. Whenever someone in the family is sick, the whole family will be affected. You have to go hungry, let alone build a house for an adult man to marry a wife..."

"We learned that you had made tofu and spices, and thought these two things could make money, so we shamelessly went to kneel down and beg Sun Lichang to come to your workshop to make peace, and beg your workshop to sell us the tofu and spices. "

"Chief Sun brought us here because he was forced to do nothing by us. Don't be angry. It's all the fault of us old men and has nothing to do with Chang Sun."

Gu Jinli smiled, he was indeed prepared. Is this because he was being tough and turned it into a drama of bitterness?

"So, if you are poor, you need help from others, right?" Gu Jinli said rudely: "Go to every village in the country and ask if there is any household that forces help from others because they are too poor?"

"Besides, we are not rich households. The real wealthy households are the Cheng family of Zou County, a large family in the county, and the official family of the city. No matter how poor they are, the Lu family is richer than us. You guys If you want to find someone to help you, go to them, don't crowd around the door of our workshop."

Damn it, do you really think they can do whatever they want if they just cry a few times?

If you want to buy and sell by force, or want to be the master of their Gu's workshop, there is no way!

The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Jinli to say such a thing. After all, he was an old man, and he came dressed in rags, crying and begging. How could she not be soft-hearted at all?

Liang Zhuzi was bringing several villagers to get tofu. When he saw that the door of Gu's workshop was surrounded by people, he did not come in. Instead, he stood outside and watched. After hearing what the old man said, he finally couldn't help but sneer. : "Uncle Village Chief, your fourth child just went to town yesterday, but he brought back a lot of good things, including three pieces of cotton cloth. He even said in the village that the cotton cloth was for you to make spring shirts. Now it's What’s wrong, Mr. Liang didn’t make you new clothes and let you go out in shabby clothes all the time? This is unfilial.”

"This is not possible. I am going to report to the official for you. I will accuse Liang Laosi of being unfilial and have him exiled to the army!"

　　Whether it is the Great Chu or the previous dynasty, they all pay attention to governing the country with filial piety. If children are unfilial, they will be severely punished.

The old man who spoke was the village chief of Lianghe Village. Hearing this, he became anxious and quickly turned around and said to Liang Zhuzi: "What are you talking about? When did my fourth child become unfilial?"

Liang Zhuzi put down his burden and strode over. He took Village Chief Liang's coat and said, "Your fourth son is wearing a new cotton shirt, but he makes you wear such rags. Isn't that unfilial?"

"Everyone, come and take a look. This is the evidence of Liang Laosi's disobedience and unfilial piety." Liang Zhuzhu said to the villagers of Lianghe Village who came to pick up the goods: "We are from Lianghe Village. We can't watch the old village chief suffer. Even today Even if you don’t do business, you still have to seek justice for the old village chief.”    “That’s right, we can’t let the old village chief be abused by Liang Laosi. Let’s accompany the old village chief to report to the official and kill him, Liang Laosi!” The villagers in Lianghe Village said.

Village Chief Liang panicked, hurriedly pulled back his clothes, and shouted at Liang Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, you have no conscience, what nonsense are you talking about? My family is already poor, and everyone in the family wears patched clothes. My fourth son is not unfilial. .”

Liang Zhuzhu heard what Village Chief Liang said and looked at him with great disappointment: "Uncle Village Chief, why have you become like this?"

Village Chief Liang doesn't have any skills, but he is a pretty good man. He will not deliberately embarrass the villagers or steal their food and money. But today, Village Chief Liang followed Sun Li to the Gu's workshop and made such a thing that he had to buy tofu and seasoning. The spice thing.

This tofu and spices belong to the Gu family. The Gu family can sell them to whomever they want. What's going on if they insist on buying them? Are they bullies?

When Village Chief Liang heard this, his old face turned red. He hurriedly pulled Liang Zhuzhu aside and begged him in a low voice: "Zhuzhu, I don't want to come today, but Chief Sun said that all the village chiefs from the five nearby villages will come. , If you don’t come, you won’t be able to eat and walk around.”

“You also know that our village is poor. Although I am the village chief, I have no backer and cannot withstand the torment of Sun Li.”

Liang Zhuzhu is also related to Village Chief Liang, and he knows what Village Chief Liang is like. He is not a bad person who would bully the villagers.

"But why did you say what you just said? Using such bitter words to force the Gu family?"

Village Chief Liang had a sad face: "You think I am willing to say such offending words? It's not because I am the thinnest and the oldest, and I look pitiful."

Sun Lichang said that he looked the most miserable, so he asked him to say those bitter words, which would make people believe him more.

Liang Zhuzi said angrily: "Then why didn't you tell us first? Now that you are making such trouble with them, can the Gu family still give us tofu and seasonings? Uncle village chief, you are going to kill our family alive. A way out!"

If it weren't for the fact that he was from the same village and the same clan, and had a close relationship with each other, Liang Zhuzi would have really wanted to beat up Village Chief Liang.

Village Chief Liang was yelled at and his eyes were red: "You think I don't want to tell you in advance? But we couldn't go home last night, and Mr. Sun..."

Village Chief Liang glanced at Sun Lichang and said in a lower voice: "Sunlichang was afraid that we would regret it halfway. After inviting us to his house for a drink yesterday, he did not let us return to the village. Today we will not be allowed to go back to the village." Liang called us up and came to Dafeng Village together."

Village Chief Liang felt aggrieved. Although he was poor, he had never done anything bad in his life. Today, this was the most egregious thing he had done. He was also spotted on the spot by his nephew of the same race and scolded him. He was so shameless. Lost everything.
