Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1264 - 1266: We Can’t Work for Nothing
"Hey, hey, thank you, Village Chief." Hearing that the Village Chief was helping out, everyone quickly nodded and bowed in thanks.
Seeing that the matter was about to be resolved, the Village Chief showed a smile on his face, "You all, you should be more mindful in the future, don’t be so foolish. That Yang Family has come up with so many money-making ventures and has led many of you to make quite some money. Even you families now have people earning money from them. If they don’t hold a grudge this time, you shouldn’t do this foolish thing again in the future."
"Understood, Village Chief." Everyone agreed.
The Village Chief nodded, "Alright, you all should head back quickly." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Just as everyone was about to leave, another problem arose. Aunt Lan Hua, who hadn’t spoken all along, spoke up, "Village Chief, it’s fine to return the food, but we can’t work for nothing. Our whole family turned out to pick those things from morning to night, and now our backs are sore."
Upon hearing this, the Village Chief frowned. The matter that was about to be settled shouldn’t be disrupted again.
As Aunt Lan Hua continued, "In my opinion, you’re just too anxious. The Yang Family hasn’t even bought that mountain, so isn’t it normal for us to go up the mountain and pick something? The Yang Family can’t find anything wrong with that. In essence, we’re the ones in the right, and even if it goes to the government office, they can’t manage us."
"If we return the food just like that, won’t we have worked for nothing? No, no, our family can’t work for free. After all the work we’ve done, we should be paid, and those foods, even if we sell them slowly, they’re worth quite a bit of money. If the Yang Family wants them, they can buy at two coppers per pound, I think that’s reasonable."
Aunt Lan Hua thought this way because her family had picked the most, and she’s the leader, isn’t trusting that the Yang Family will forgive and forget. Anyway, the Yang Family is already offended, so might as well offend them thoroughly, at least get some money for the food.
Her words left everyone stunned because no one wants to work for free, and indeed, in those days on the mountain, they did work hard, their backs are sore and aching. But thinking they’d still need to rely on the Yang Family to sell cabbage, everyone hesitated a bit.
Seeing the villagers’ expressions, the Village Chief was quite disappointed, "Since that’s the case, I won’t bother with your matter anymore. You can go back, think it over carefully, and weigh your options."
The Village Chief issued a guest expulsion order, and everyone went back, consulted their families.
As soon as the villagers left, the Village Chief’s wife spoke, "Old man, do you think they’ll send that food back to the Yang Family?"
His wife had been listening to everyone’s words and observing their reactions on the side.
The Village Chief sighed, "Ah, this matter, it’s hard to say now. It was about to be settled, but who would’ve expected that..."
The Village Chief’s wife was also very angry at this point, "This Lan Hua really is something. It was all about to be resolved, but she came out and stirred things up."
The Village Chief shook his head and spoke, "Their family is likely in trouble!"
The Village Chief said no more, just that one sentence, that’s how he felt. She was given the chance to step back but she didn’t take it, insisting on charging forward, won’t turn back until she hits a wall.
But sometimes, when the wall is hit, it’s too late for anything!
If this matter continues to clash with the Yang Family, any good things in the future probably won’t involve Lan Hua’s family.
"Just wait, in the coming days, you keep an eye on those few families’ movements."
"Alright, I’ll watch those families."
