Chapter 628: Oil bullying



Chapter 628: Oil bullying

In fact, the word ‘cosy’ was still her being a bit respectful and giving some face to Mu Yuxi, she would have used the exact same term as she heard from the shopkeeper. What was more Yu Dong’s husbands were here as well, it would not look good if she was to say something like that in front of them.          

    

” Oooh, are you saying that Mu Yuxi was having an affair with a married mer? Her tastes are really too extreme!” Village head Gu was acting out of consideration towards Yu Dong’s husbands but she did not know that Chen Mi who read much spicier books than a cheating husband and wife pair did not need her consideration at all.      

He stopped stirring the braised sauce and turned all his attention to Village head Gu as if he was waiting to hear all the juicy details.      

Village head Gu who was the target of Chen Mi’s ‘do not skip any detail’ gaze was speechless, was this how the mers these days were acting?      

Yu Dong coughed when she saw Chen Mi acting all gossipy, it was fine if he was to act like this in front of her but if he was to act like this in front of another woman who was an outsider, he might scare her into having nightmares which were why she immediately cleared her throat and then said, ” What about it? Why are you bringing up the matter of Mu Yuxi having an affair with another mer?”      

Fortunately for her, Village head Gu’s attention was diverted and she turned to look at Yu Dong and shook her head as if she was trying to get rid of the shock that she just received. With a gloomy expression on her face, she broke down the daunting news in front of Yu Dong, ” The wife of that mer is the head of the grains shops, she has the biggest shop in the town and her sister-in-law works in the office of the magistrate. Because of Mu Yuxi having an affair with her husband and making a joke out of her in the town, the woman has always kept a grudge against our village.”      

” Now that she has finally gotten a chance to take it out on her, she is using this chance to bully our village. There is also the fact that Mu Yuxi once tried to pull the widower who lives outside the big stone village …turns out that the widower has snagged the sister of the head of the grain shops and now both the sister are going against us.”      

Yu Dong, who more or less understood the reason why the village was getting bullied by the two women frowned as she asked, ” Did you not tell them that Mu Yuxi does not live here anymore?”      

” I did tell them but Mu Yuxi has stepped on their bottom lines and now this is no longer a matter of justice and fairness, its a matter of pride…the head of the grains shops wants to deliberately make things difficult for us such that she will be able to gain her face that she has lost,” Village head Gu was having a headache when she thought about how stubborn the woman who was in charge of selling the grains was acting in front of her, even when she told her again and again that Mu Yuxi no longer had anything to do with them, she did not hear a thing that she has to say.      

” The other shopkeepers are also not willing to help us out because they are all under that woman and even when I try to offer them an extra tael, they are not willing to hand us grains,” the price of the grains was already too high and  Village head Gu was using an extra tael from her own saving to bribe the shopkeepers in the town but who would have thought that they would be this loyal to the head shopkeeper! They would rather refuse an extra tael than sell their grains to the villagers of the big river village!      

” Can’t you talk to the magistrate about this?” Yu Dong asked if someone was bullying them then it made more sense for the village head Gu to go to the magistrate and then come to see her. It was not as if she was the one who was in power and could teach a lesson to that woman and even if she could why will she go against the woman in the town for no reason at all?     

” Ah about that, I don’t think we will be able to go against her in front of the magistrate,” Village head Gu’s face twitched as she replied with some embarrassment on her face. ” That woman is the owner of the only oil mill in the town, everyone from the big river village to the big stone village sells their rapeseed to her, you can say that she is the one who is the big shot who controls the delivery of oil in the entire town and the village.”     

” Because of this even the magistrate has to give some face to her since she has a very tight hold on oil…you already know how expensive animal fat is and thus, everyone depends on the oil from that woman’s mill, I don’t think that complaining against her will help anyone.”      

What Village head Gu did not tell Yu Dong was that she was terrified of getting scolded by the magistrate who was a very strict woman!     

Yu Dong was stunned when she heard that the woman who was in charge of selling oil, she turned to look at Shen Li and asked, ” Did I bring oil with me?”      

She did not pay attention to cooking oil because she had a large stock of it inside her space but now that she was suddenly reminded of this fact, she suddenly realized that she did not see any oil in the ration that she brought with her.      

Don’t tell her? That woman allowed her to bring grains because Song Yixu’s people were the ones who brought the grains but deliberately did not hand her oil…who was this fcker who thought she could bully her?
