Chapter 377: Threatening

With the war, food becomes the most precious, and it is inevitable that prices will rise.

If they sold the grain and immediately bought brown rice and coarse grains to transport home for storage, it would not be a big loss. I am afraid that some people sold the grain and still had the money in their hands. If they don't have it, they can exchange it for coarse grains. Now it has suddenly risen sharply and is low. Selling at a low price and buying at a high price can indeed make people vomit blood.

But taking a step back, the grain store is not at fault, so it is naturally unreasonable to ask them to make up the difference now.

Otherwise, the government would not have issued the document. The people who caused trouble a while ago were suppressed and neither party was held accountable, which proves that the government also acquiesced in the deal at that time.

Looking at the posture in front of him, Bai Yunxi shook his head. He was too tough. It would be useless to complain.

Alas, it was all caused by the war, and it was the people at the bottom who suffered.

Unfortunately, in this era of clearly differentiated classes, pretending to be pitiful and showing off as a miserable person simply doesn't work.

In the eyes of the powerful, these people are like ants, and they will die when they die.

"Before they take action, I advise you to leave on your own. If not, I don't mind sending you to the government office for investigation."

Shopkeeper Wang had a dark face, flicked his sleeves, and raised his hand to drive away.

Several burly men clenched their fists and slowly approached, scaring them so much that they huddled together and backed away with pale faces.

They took a few steps back, and those fierce people took a few steps closer, shaking their heads and waving their fists. To Bai Yunxi, these actions were just bluffs and deliberate intimidation.

But the women and children in the village had never seen such a formation before. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their mouths trembled, and they could not say a word.

"If you don't get out yet, we have to take action, grandpas. If we hurt you, don't blame us for being harsh."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people in the crowd who were watching the excitement also spoke out to persuade them,

"Sisters-in-law, please leave quickly. You are unreasonable. If you are really injured, you will have to pay for medical expenses. By then, wouldn't it be even more difficult?"

"Yeah, let's go quickly. You're dragging your family with you. Stop making trouble. There will be no results."

Several people were already frightened enough, but when they were frightened by this situation, they no longer wanted to ask for money. They supported each other and left with pale faces.

It wasn't until those people left that Shopkeeper Wang waved his sleeves and snorted, and then punched the people around him.

"I'm telling you, the grain store is open as usual. You can buy what you need. Although our place has been affected by the war and the price of grain has risen, you don't need to worry. You can't reach here."

"Shopkeeper Wang, you are well-informed. If you have any news, tell us as soon as possible so that we can be prepared."

"Yes, I'll leave this matter to Shopkeeper Wang."

While he was talking, the people watching the excitement all clasped their fists at Shopkeeper Wang and saluted.

"Don't worry, everyone, we all live in the same town. As told by relatives, whenever Wang gets the news, he will tell the truth and never lie."

'If the big boss hadn't repeatedly told me, try to keep things quiet as much as possible and don't make the matter a big deal. Otherwise, just by relying on these unruly people who made trouble, in the past when the second boss was in charge, they would have been thrown into the mountain stream to feed the tigers. ’

Listening to Shopkeeper Wang's voice, Bai Yunxi was stunned. The owner of the grain store has changed hands. Is this?

After the people dispersed, Bai Yunxi watched the grain store become lively again before walking over. Before she could speak, Shopkeeper Wang saw her.

"Hey, Sister-in-law Bai, I haven't seen you for a while."

"I've been busy with the summer harvest recently, so I haven't had time to come to town. Today I have some free time, so I came to check out the grain prices."
