Chapter 209: Overbearing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The plate of silver thread candy that he had wanted to give to Shopkeeper Qiao was inside.
He placed it properly so that it wouldn’t fall apart and make the silver thread candy look bad.
The bamboo basket was covered with a piece of cloth, covering the silver thread candy inside.
Li Qingshu and the others were reluctant to eat in town as they were afraid that they wouldn’t be back in the afternoon. Everyone had brought some dry food with them and wanted to have lunch in town. Now, seeing the small bamboo basket in Xue Erfu’s hand, they immediately began to count their chickens before they hatched.
Li Qingshu and the others also brought a small dollop of oil as a sample to convince Shopkeeper Qiao.
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Erfu, Xua Yan, and Li Qingshu had yet to reach the village entrance to take the ox cart when they encountered many people in the village.
Yesterday, Li Qingshu and the others brought back so much oil. Many people had seen it and knew that the oil could not be sold. This village was not big, but it was not small either. Anyway, the villagers quickly knew about the news.
Someone asked, “Are you guys going to town again because of the oil? We thought that we could earn more money by relying on Xua Yan’s oil mill in the future. Now it seems that you might as well sell the seeds to the town’s oil mill as we did. It’s better than not being able to sell oil at all. Anyway, you can go to the town’s oil mill, but I don’t think it will work. When we were collecting the seeds, the town’s oil mill said that they won’t be receiving vegetable seeds any time soon. That oil mill is really black-hearted, they still have this trick up their sleeves. The oil that Xua Yan can squeeze out can’t be sold at all, no wonder they’re so overbearing.”
“Yup, I know. That’s right,” Many people agreed.
Even the village head’s wife said, “Xua Yan, my boss was so happy for a few days because your oil mill could produce good oil. He has also thought about it. In the future, we will send everything we need to your oil mill to produce oil. Now that your oil can’t be sold, his worry increased.”
Wang Sufen was also there. She had been holding a grudge against Xue Erfu because he ignored her last time. She wanted to find a chance to hurt him, and now was the perfect time. If Xue Erfu didn’t urge them to do so, Li Qingshu and the rest wouldn’t have sold their seeds back then.
However, she remembered that Xue Erfu’s family was the richest family in the village, and she still wanted to curry favor with him. Hence, she pretended to be nice as if she was doing Xue Erfu a favor, “Erfu, it’s not that I want to nag at you, but you’re somewhat responsible for this. Look at how worried Qingshu and the others are right now. You have to be more thoughtful in the future and stop doing things that lead to bad consequences. Although you have good intentions, can’t good intentions sometimes be bad? Isn’t that right?”
Xue Erfu couldn’t be bothered with her. He could listen to other people’s words, but he would brush off her statement!
There were so many people here! There were even more people than last time! Of course, Wang Sufen was embarrassed, but if she made a scene, she would have a hard time with Xue Erfu’s family. Xue Erfu’s family was so rich now, and she wouldn’t get any benefits from tarnishing the good relationship. Even though she wanted to slap Xue Erfu a few times, she endured it.
Some people in the crowd snickered at Wang Sufen’s embarrassment.
Wang Sufen felt embarrassed, but she still endured it.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan acted as if they didn’t see it.
