Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1263 - 1265: Who Is Collecting the Cabbages?
With a roar from the Village Chief, the cramped little room instantly fell silent.
Looking at this group of villagers who were constantly at each other’s throats, the Village Chief spoke helplessly, "Since things are already the way they are, there’s no point in bringing it up again. I don’t intend to blame you; I called you here just to say that this time, you’ve truly offended the Yang Family. No matter what, it’s because of what you did that they couldn’t buy the mountain."
At this moment, someone spoke up, "Village Chief, we really went too far, but didn’t we indirectly save them twelve hundred silver? That food wasn’t worth much, if they bought the mountain, wouldn’t they have suffered a loss? The Yang Family shouldn’t hold a grudge against us."
Upon hearing this, the Village Chief almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. No wonder Lan Hua said whatever she did, these people just believed it, how foolish they are. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
What he had just said was all sarcastic, yet they didn’t seem to notice. He spoke helplessly, "That’s because the things were made worthless by you. If they had landed in someone’s hands to start with, maybe they would have been valuable."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent because what the Village Chief said made a lot of sense. Seeing everyone quiet, the Village Chief continued with his plan, "You all planted quite a bit of cabbage this year, didn’t you?"
Mentioning cabbage caused someone to laugh, because last year cabbage was in high demand, and maybe this year it would sell for quite a bit of silver, so they planted quite a lot, "Yes, Village Chief, we’re waiting to sell it for a good price this year."
The Village Chief shook his head and sighed, "Ah, what can I say about you, who is collecting the cabbage?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. The cabbage was collected by the Yang Family. After offending the Yang Family, would they refuse to collect their cabbage in the autumn and winter? Thinking about this, they began discussing anxiously.
"What should we do now?"
"Let’s not let this matter make the cabbage unsellable."
"Isn’t that cabbage collected by the Yang Family? And it’s their adopted daughter’s husband doing the collection — aren’t we being foolish?"
"Exactly, selling cabbage is serious business. We can’t make much money from these foods, let’s stop messing around and send them back to the Yang Family. Maybe if we return the goods, they’ll overlook the issue and buy cabbage."
"Yes, why don’t we send back the food?"
"..."
"..."
Listening to the villagers’ discussions, the Village Chief secretly smiled in his heart; this was exactly his intention. If he directly asked everyone to send back the food, they might feel he was using his authority to oppress them. But if they came up with the idea themselves, it couldn’t be better.
Moments later, after a discussion, someone asked, "Village Chief, do you think it’s feasible for us to send the food back to the Yang Family?"
Even though that was exactly what he meant, the Village Chief couldn’t show it; he pretended hesitantly, "It’s hard to say, the food has been made worthless by you, even if you send it back, it may still be worthless in their hands."
Seeing the Village Chief’s demeanor, everyone was at a loss, anxious like ants on a hot pot, "What should we do? Village Chief, please help us, you can’t just ignore us."
The Village Chief sighed again, indicating the difficulty of the situation, and said, "Ah, what can I say about you, let’s first try sending the food back and see what the Yang Family says. I’ll also put in a good word for you when the time comes."
