I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 377: Scaring

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 to say the least, the grain store is not at fault, so it is naturally unreasonable to make up for the price difference now.

 Otherwise, the government would not have issued the document. The people who made 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 situation in front of him, Bai Yunxi shook his head. He was too tough, and it would be useless to complain.

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

 Unfortunately, in this era of clear class distinctions, pretending to be pitiful and acting miserable does not work at all.

In the eyes of the powerful, these people are just 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 men took a few steps closer, shaking their heads and waving their fists. In Bai Yunxi's view, these actions were just bluffing and deliberately intimidating.

But the women and children in the village had never seen such a formation before. Their faces turned pale with fright, their mouths were trembling, and they could not speak 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 not responsible. If you are really injured, you will have to pay for medical expenses. By then, wouldn’t it be even more difficult?”

“Yes, let’s go quickly. If you have a 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.

　　Until those people left, Shopkeeper Wang shook his sleeves and snorted, and then punched the people around him.

“I’m sorry for you, the grain store is open as usual, you can buy what you need. Although we are affected by the war and the price of grain has risen, there is no need to worry, we 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 the manager Wang.”

As he spoke, the people watching around him all clasped their fists and saluted to Shopkeeper Wang.

“Don’t worry, everyone, we all live in the same town. We are known among relatives. Whenever Wang gets the news, he will tell the truth and never lie.”

 ‘If it hadn’t been for the big boss’ repeated instructions, try to keep the matter as peaceful as possible and don’t make the matter a big deal. Otherwise, just by relying on these unruly people who were causing trouble, in the past when the second boss was in charge, they would have been thrown into the mountain stream to feed the tigers. ’

Hearing what Shopkeeper Wang said, Bai Yunxi was stunned. The owner of the grain store has changed hands. Is this?

Waiting for the people to disperse, Bai Yunxi watched the grain store become lively again before walking over. Shopkeeper Wang saw her before she could speak.

“Hey, Sister-in-law Bai, I haven’t seen you for a while.”

“I’ve been busy with the summer harvest recently and haven’t had time to come to town. Today I have free time, so I came to explore the price of grain.”
