Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 214 The Provocation of Zhuzi Niang
The next day, Chen Wenbin and Li Yao went to the village chief's house to discuss opening irrigation ditches.

"Wen Bin, do you really agree to open so many strips?" The village chief asked again. It is not surprising that Chen Wenbin agrees to open one or two more strips, but this is five strips, which costs about 200 taels of silver.

"Lichang, you can do as Yaoer wants. The purpose of opening the irrigation ditches is for the rice to grow well. You take the 200 taels of silver. I am too busy to stay in the Escort Bureau, so you have to worry about it." Chen Wenbin smiled and handed the two bank notes to the head of the village.

The head of the village tremblingly took the bank note, you must know that he had never seen so much money in his whole life.

Li Yao thought that once the irrigation ditches were settled, the ditches would be opened soon. Unexpectedly, the next day, she came to Chen's house and said that she had encountered a problem.

"Li Chang, Zhu Ziniang doesn't agree to open the canal in her family's field?" Li Yao asked.

"That's right, she said that if this canal is opened, her family's land will lose a lot of land, and she will lose a lot of grain. No matter what I say, she won't agree." Li Chang said. Everyone else agreed, and only Zhuzi Niang was arguing there.

"Was Zhuzi's father there at that time?" Li Yao asked.

"Zhu Zi is working part-time in the town." Chen Shizhu said.

"Li Chang, what does Zhu Ziniang mean?" Li Yao asked again.

"She said that she wants you to give her five taels of silver, and it will be the money to buy her land." The head of the village was a little embarrassed to say, this Wenbin and his wife are not for them, but this Zhuzi mother just doesn't know what is good or bad.

"Li Chief, just tell her that I won't give her the money, and this canal will bypass her family's land, but her family will not be able to use our canal to irrigate her rice fields in the future." Li Yao said coldly. said coldly.

"Yao'er, is this not good? Let's talk about it when Zhuzi's father comes back." Chen Shizhu said, he and Zhuzi's father have been brothers since they were young, how will they face Zhuzi's father after doing this.

"Father, we are going to open this canal now, but Zhuzi's father is not here. Could it be that we won't open this canal because of Zhuzi's mother?" Li Yao was a little angry. The relationship between Zhuziniang and Zhuziniang has been tolerated again and again, but has Zhuziniang ever thought about the relationship between neighbors?

"How about asking the Bao family to go to the town to look for Zhuzi's father?" Chen Shizhu asked again.

"Father, I'd better go to the field to have a look." Li Yao wanted to see what kind of tricks that Zhuzi Niang was going to come up with.

Before reaching the paddy field, Li Yao saw Zhu Ziniang talking to the crowd, as soon as Li Yao approached, those people also looked at her.

"Wenbin's daughter-in-law, what Zhuziniang said actually makes sense. You have opened up our rice field with the canal, and we have planted a lot less rice. It is not worthwhile." A middle-aged man said.

"That's right, that's right." Several people echoed.

This is so much effort, Zhu Ziniang has obviously succeeded in provoking.

"Do you know how much it costs to open these canals?" Li Yao asked coldly, "200 taels of silver! Who am I doing this for?"

"200 taels?!" Everyone was startled.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the village chief." Li Yao said.

Everyone lowered their heads and whispered, Li Yao watched with satisfaction the effect of her words, these people finally started to think for themselves instead of being provoked by others.

"Why do you talk like that, they didn't open the canal for us, you really have no conscience.

　After hearing Li Yao's words, someone finally stood up and spoke for the Chen family.
