The Blessed Princess

Chapter 219 Conflict with Villagers

  Wei Ruo made some concessions. 

  The village chief shook his head, with a stern attitude: "No, a hundred taels is a hundred taels, and no less than a thousand Wen per year." "Is there really no space 

  for bargaining?" Wei Ruo asked . 

  “No.” The village chief refused to budge, with a proud expression on his face. 

  “OK, then there is no need to continue the conversation.” 

  Wei Ruo suddenly stood up, and was about to leave with Xiumei and Guanshi Yu. 

  He walked very firmly, not pretending. 

  Village Chief Wang's face suddenly changed, he didn't expect Xu to leave immediately. 

  This was far from what he expected. He thought that the surname Xu had spent so much effort to find this place, and he was extremely wealthy. As long as he had a tougher attitude, things would definitely not be too difficult! 

  Seeing the three Wei Ruo walking seven or eight steps away, Village Chief Wang hurriedly ordered the villagers to stop them. 

  "Stop! Don't go!" 

  The cry of Village Chief Wang was not heard. 

  Seeing Wei Ruo and the others continue to shout, Village Chief Wang quickly ordered the youths in the village to go up and stop them, "Stop them!" 

  Some of the youths in the village rushed towards Wei Ruo and the others immediately, blocking Wei Ruo's path of attack If you are waiting for someone to leave. 

  Wei Ruo was forced to stop, and looked back at the crowd: "What does Village Chief Wang mean?" " 

  Master Xu, please don't rush off, sit down and continue talking." Village Chief Wang's face was a little ugly, but he remained firm. 

  Life in the village wasn't easy for the past two years, and finally someone came to give them money, so naturally they couldn't let them leave just like that. 

  As the village chief, he came out to negotiate the price on behalf of the villagers After the negotiation, he not only earned more money, but he was also more loved by the villagers.

  But if the talks fail and everyone loses that much income, the villagers will have an opinion about him, which will affect his prestige. 

  He knew that he had made a mistake in his judgment. This person surnamed Xu was not as easy as he had hoped, but the problem had reached this point. For his face and for the benefit of the villagers, he couldn't just let this person surnamed Xu go. 

  Seeing this, Servant Yu was a little annoyed. If he knew that he was going to meet the unreasonable villagers, he should have brought more people with him when he came with his boss. There was no shortage of strong and healthy men in their village. 

  Village Chief Wang Village dared to be arrogant from seeing that they only brought a few people, while the owner was wearing expensive clothes, he was a businessman who bought land to open a winery, he said, not from an official background. 

  Xiumei subconsciously leaned on Wei Ruo, ready to protect Wei Ruo at any time. 

  "But Village Chief Wang just said that the price is non-negotiable, right?" Wei Ruo. 

  “The price is no longer negotiable, but the business can definitely be bargained again,” replied Village Chief Wang. 

  He was the village head, and he should not retract his words after he said everything. 

  "The village chief wants to buy and sell by force?" Wei Ruo sneered. He had met someone who had experienced difficult negotiations before, but this was the first time he had met such an arrogant and unreasonable person. 

  Village chief Wang said to Wei Ruo with a cold and arrogant expression: "Don't tell me that forced buying and selling is so ugly, our Daqingshan is a good place, with green mountains and green waters, otherwise Mr. Xu would not have them." worked hard to come to us to buy land." 

  Daqingshan was really good, but the village chief seemed to have forgotten one thing. I chose Daqingshan because other conditions were comparable. If you ask the price is too high, Daqingshan is not the best solution for me Daqingshan I You can choose other places, there are many nice places with mountains and rivers around Fucheng, not just Daqingshan, "wei Ruo replied.

  Hearing this, all the villagers had anxious expressions on their faces, and were even a little annoyed by the decision of their village chief. 

  If the village chief was not too busy, then every family could earn one tael of silver and ten coins per year, and life would be much easier! 

  It's okay now, the bamboo basket took the water in vain! 

  The villager Wang Qi grabbed onto Village Chief Wang's arm and said, "Chairman, why don't we just forget about it and not make trouble." "Don't talk 

  that shit! Married to a daughter-in-law? With a hundred taels of silver, your family can get four taels of silver! You can give Erniu a daughter-in-law and you can spend two extra taels of silver to build a house!" Village Chief Wang scolded. 

  Wang Qi, who was initially a bit shy, fell silent when he heard about the four taels of silver and married his son to a wife. 

  The man from the Wang Ergou family whispered again: "Pay the original price. If 

  You take less, you can take less. "Do it!" Village Chief Wang is tough. 

  The other person who originally wanted to say something also fell silent after hearing what the village chief said. 

  In the last two years, everyone has had a hard time. The harvest in the fields was low, and the winter had just passed, and there was no food in the family. If it is better, people can eat for another two years or three months, and if it is worse, they may not be able to last for a month. 

  After all, they would not be able to support the grain harvest this year, and they were destined to fail. So the money surnamed Xu was very important to them. 

  Regardless of whether they agreed with the village chief's approach or not, they could only follow the village chief's directions and try to earn some money. 

  After calming the villagers, Village Chief Wang said to Wei Ruo with a stern expression: "Master Xu has no other choice. Mount Daqing was the best and only option for Master Xu. In the Qingshan Valley, our entire village will help you to successfully complete the construction of the winery." 

  Wei Ruo replied: "If you want to use coercion to make me submit, then I can only tell you that your calculations are wrong. Now, even if you beat me to death here today, I won't pay you a dime.”

  Wei Ruo's attitude made Village Chief Wang's expression become very ugly. 

  "If Young Master Xu refuses to do this business today, I can only leave Young Master Xu to stay in our village for a few days," Village Chief Wang said coldly. 

  Things had gotten to this point, there was no way he could just let it go! 

  Village chief Wang did not dare to steal money from Wei Ruo directly, but as long as Wei Ruo was forced to sign the documents, it was reasonable and legal for him to take the money. 

  Speaking of which, Village Chief Wang ordered the strong people in the village to invite Wei Ruo and the others to the ancestral hall. 

  Some villagers were afraid and hesitant, but some were brave and greedy for money and wanted to fight. The brave villagers obeyed Village Chief Wang's instructions and besieged Wei Ruo, Xiumei, and Yu Guanshi with agricultural implements such as rakes, shoulder poles, and hoes. 

  Seeing they were about to make a move, suddenly a group of people riding high horses appeared at the entrance of the village.
