Super Farming Tycoon Novel - Chapter 264
264 The Rage of the Villagers
When the villagers came to the Shi family, it was like a farce!
Actually, it was just a farce!
Shi Zuoliang became someone Gu Qingming and the Shi family refused to interact with. In the future, the Shi family would not look for Shi Zuoliang for anything.
As for Shi Zuoliang’s family, they should forget about looking for the Shi family if they needed help!
!!
This sounded a little petty on the part of the Shi family and Gu Qingming.
However, if they did not do this, it would be troublesome if someone came up to make a fuss whenever something happened in the future.
For example, if they hired someone to work today but did not hire the next person, the latter would cause trouble. The day after tomorrow, another wave would cause trouble. This kind of trouble was endless and very troublesome.
In the example of Shi Zuoliang, it was like killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
To the villagers of Stoneback Village, offending the Shi family was equivalent to cutting off their path to income. The gains did not make up for the losses.
As for Shi Bangqing’s family, since they had already formed a grudge, they did not have any scruples.
Old Lady Shi had spread rumors without any basis, sowing discord between the villagers and the Shi family. She had already become a public enemy.
Any sensible family would not be on good terms with Old Lady Shi anymore.
…
After the villagers left, only the villagers who were on good terms with the Shi family and Shi Bangjian’s family were left.
Shi Bangjian said to the Shi family with a guilty expression, “I’m very sorry. I’ve caused you trouble because of a few careless words a few days ago.”
Although it was not a joke before, it was now a joke.
Ever since Shi Bangjian’s thoughts were cleared by his son, Shi Xiaohai, he began to get close to the Shi family.
The Shi family had a powerful backer. As an ordinary citizen, he was willing to befriend the Shi family for the sake of his grandson’s descendants.
Looking at the suicidal actions of Shi Zuoliang and Old Lady Shi now, he almost saw his previous state of mind.
Shi Xiaohai also touched his head and said in embarrassment, “Gu Qingming, I’m sorry. We didn’t expect that renting the land to you would cause everyone to guess. My family should have explained earlier and there wouldn’t have been such a misunderstanding!”
Gu Qingming said to Shi Xiaohai, “You can’t be blamed for this. You’re just the fuse!”
The real reason was the villagers’ greed!
Regardless of whether Shi Bangjian’s rent was real or fake, the villagers had hoped that as long as they came over and made a fuss, they might be able to increase their rent.
Shi Bangjian said, “Actually, it’s my fault for being greedy in the past. I spoke a few words, but I didn’t expect…”
Shi Bangjian’s wife looked at her husband and son, then at the Shi family. Her eyes flickered, but she did not say anything.
In fact, she was on her husband’s side previously. Of course, she was still on the same side as her husband and son.
Even if they could not be on good terms with the Shi family, they could not completely offend them.
No one could guarantee that they would not beg for help for the rest of their lives.
Alright, even if they didn’t need any help presently, what about their descendants?
This was unless another person like Shi Yashu appeared and became the top person in the entire village.
Shi Bangjian’s wife said angrily, “It’s all the fault of Shi Bangqing’s mother. I only mentioned it a few days ago. Yet, according to her, my family asked for a high rent. 5,000 dollars? That’s so much money. Why don’t we rob someone?”
Shi Xiaohai was a little speechless as he said, “Mom, don’t tell them such nonsense in the future. Whatever you speak to them about today can have a different impact tomorrow.”
It was like this in the village, especially when these aunties were chatting. There would always be a different version of the story.
Shi Bangjian’s wife nodded and said, “Yes, yes, I understand!”
…
After many villagers left the Shi family, they went to the Shi Bangqing’s family.
Before leaving the Shi family, many villagers criticized Shi Zuoliang and scolded him. They said that he was a troublemaker and a lazy person who almost harmed everyone.
If he hadn’t fanned the flames and suspected that the Shi family and Shi Bangjian had collaborated to deceive everyone, no one would have suspected the Shi Family. They wouldn’t have blamed the Shi family and almost angered them.
“Shi Zuoliang, why are you so black-hearted? You don’t have land to rent to the Shi family, and you want to drag all of us down with you, right?”
“Shi Zuoliang, how did the Shi family offend you? How did we offend you? You actually used your schemes to sow discord and almost caused us to fall out?”
“Fortunately, the Shi family didn’t hold it against us. Otherwise, in the future, if the Shi family hires other villagers to work and doesn’t hire us to work, I’ll go to your house and smash the door.”
“You damn alcoholic. You’re so black-hearted. No wonder you beat up your wife and children when you’re drunk.”
“To think a person like him can have a wife and a son. His family must have offered incense in their previous life.”
“Hehe, he offended the Shi family.”
“So what if he offended the Shi family? Anyway, he can’t get any benefits from the Shi family!”
“Maybe that’s why he offended the Shi family?”
“Hmph, he doesn’t want to harm us. What grudge do we have with him that he wants to harm us like this?”
In fact, these villagers did not want to think about how they had been provoked because of their greed. They subconsciously ignored it and naturally pushed all the blame onto others.
Shi Zuoliang was criticized by everyone, and he was also complaining in his heart.
He didn’t want to offend the Shi family either!
He was a lazy bum and a drunkard. It seemed like he didn’t need to curry favor with the Shi family at all.
But his family had to live too.
He rarely worked, so the one who worked was naturally his wife. As for the child going out to work, she did not send him a single cent and only sent it to his mother.
His mother was willing to buy cigarettes and drinks for him with the money she earned from her own work, but she saved all the money her son sent back. He didn’t need a single cent.
Therefore, he naturally hoped that his wife could earn more money for him to spend.
If the Shi family hired someone to work, his wife might be hired too.
Now, this path was completely blocked!
Everyone in the village knew that they had to hire people to work on more than 200 acres of land. If there was a part-time job, he would definitely work part-time. If he didn’t have a part-time job, he would do his own job. How good would that be?
However, no matter how regretful Shi Zuoliang was, it was useless.
On the other side, the villagers were scolding Old Lady Shi and even started to smash her house.
“You black-hearted thing, you’re really harming others and yourself!”
“You don’t want to be a human, but you still want to harm everyone.”
“Ingrate. You’re so black-hearted. No wonder you chased your ex-daughter-in-law away without any mercy.”
“Chun Jiao was such a good daughter-in-law, but she was lost to these two old things. They deserve to be unlucky!”
