Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1262 - 1264: Thanks to You

"No, don’t send those foods to me anymore, you still have to sell them for Silver."

Hearing the Village Chief’s sarcastic words, the villagers didn’t dare to speak up, each standing there silently. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Looking at this bunch of villagers causing trouble, the Village Chief, feeling quite helpless, continued, "The Yang Family wants to buy that back mountain, you all know that, right?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers’ hearts sank. The Village Chief was finally getting to the point. Each of them exchanged glances, awkwardly replying, "Hehe, uh, we know."

The Village Chief’s face was expressionless, casually continuing, "Thanks to you, they ain’t buying the mountain anymore."

The Village Chief seemed to speak calmly, but everyone could tell that he was angry, because of them, the mountain wasn’t sold. Some felt a bit embarrassed, "Village Chief."

But before any words were finished, the Village Chief let out a cold laugh, interrupting the person, "That Yang Family really has you to thank, that’s for sure. Originally, they wanted to buy the mountain because they liked those foods, willing to pay twelve hundred taels. Now that you’ve taken those foods to sell, the Yang Family sees that those foods aren’t worth much, so there’s no need to buy the mountain. They aren’t fools."

Such words left everyone silent, contemplating what the Village Chief really meant.

The Village Chief looked around at these people, knowing they were uneasy inside, continued to say, "Sigh, I originally thought, selling the mountain to them, maybe they would lead the villagers to something great again, just like how they previously set up workshops and fishponds. I thought this could be another good thing, could let the villagers earn some Silver, but who’d have thought it’s all gone now."

"If it’s over, it’s over. Besides, those foods aren’t profitable, even if they bought the mountain, they might not be able to do anything with it."

The more the Village Chief said such calm words, the more nervous the villagers became. There wasn’t a single word of blame, but they heard it, the Village Chief was blaming them for ruining the deal.

"Village Chief, we didn’t do it on purpose, we didn’t know they were buying the mountain for those foods. We just heard Aunty Lan Hua say those foods might sell, and before the mountain got sold, we grabbed some to sell, and if they didn’t sell, we’d keep them for ourselves for a treat, we weren’t trying to stop them from buying the mountain." One villager explained.

Aunty Lan Hua, who had been silent all this time, hearing someone mention her, was unhappy as she spoke, "The way you say it, it’s like it’s my fault, did I ask you to go up the mountain? Didn’t you all just want to earn some Silver yourselves, so you went up the mountain? If you were really afraid of the Yang Family, then you shouldn’t have gone. Now you blame me, well, I’m telling you, it’s not my fault."

"Aunty Lan Hua, no matter what, you led it. If it weren’t for your family sneaking early and late to bring so much home, how would we have known?"

"Heh, really, good intentions are treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs. I shouldn’t have told you all back then. I said it, yet it became my fault?"

"Hmph, anyway if it weren’t for you, how would we have known that the thing on the mountain is edible? Who knows, maybe you heard it from the Yang Family themselves."

"..."

The villagers started to shift the blame onto each other, making the Village Chief’s head ache. He shouted, "Stop all the arguing!"
