These People from Zhou Family Village Really Never Learned!

Liu Xiuyuan frowned and said, "So what do we do now?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "We need charcoal here in winter, right? Let's make a lot of charcoal and sell it at a very low price."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Xiuyuan drove the oxcart earnestly and said nothing more.

We encountered many oxcarts along the way and also saw people from Zhou Family Village.

Zhou Maolin looked coldly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You little beast, I've seen you again. Did you throw the people of Zhou Family Village up the mountain? Did you strip them naked?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him, bewildered, and said, "Are you just spouting nonsense? I haven't been up the mountain recently, how could I have stripped everyone in your village naked?"

"Don't try to argue. With the locust plague coming, I'll see how you survive." Zhou Maolin's eyes were practically spitting fire. This brat was clearly the nemesis of their Zhou Family Village.

Every time I run into her, it never ends well.

Zhou Wanwan shrugged and stopped talking. They went straight to the government office, which was already packed with people.

Lin Shouyi's second uncle waved at him and said, "You good-for-nothing, I told you a long time ago, why are you only coming now? Hurry up and come with me."

Zhou Wanwan Zhou Wanwan him inside and handed the gold hairpin and two gold rings directly to the accountant.

The accountant looked at her and said:

"This gold hairpin weighs 1 tael and 2 mace, the two rings weigh a total of 8 mace, and the pure gold weighs a full 2 taels!"

At the market price, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 12 taels of silver, totaling 24 taels of silver, exactly the same amount!

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then I want to switch everything to whole grains."

"Alright! Take this young lady and exchange all this silver for coarse grains."

In the end, the oxcart was piled Manman; a total of 70 bags of coarse grain had been exchanged.

Zhou Wanwan was quite satisfied. She led the people from Liu Family Village back, but as soon as they entered the woods, they were surrounded by the people from Zhou Family Village.

Looking at the two oxcarts Manman of grain, Zhou Maolin said, "Ha! This came so easily; our village now has Daniu full of grain."

The people of Zhou Family Village also laughed:

"Where does this brat think she's going? We'll beat this jinx to death today, because a year of disaster is just around the corner."

The fortune teller was absolutely right; this little girl is definitely the nemesis of our village.

Let's get started!

More than thirty people pulled out machetes. Liu Xiuyuan shouted, "This place isn't far from the government offices. What exactly do you want?"

Zhou Maolin roared:

"Liu Xiuyuan, can't you understand what I'm trying to do?"

Today I'm going to kill this girl and take all your food.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here. If you don't, I'll kill you too."

Liu Xiuyuan panicked. Only three people from his Liu Family came out with him, and the other three were Zhou Wanwan's brothers, who were all children and were of little use.

He stepped directly in front of Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, I'll hold them off for a moment, you run first."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."

"Young master, please treat my Liu Family well, and I will serve you again in my next life." Liu Xiuyuan looked at the people of Zhou Family Village with a look of resignation.

Zhou Wanwan's tinderbox was already lit. In ancient times, there were no matches or lighters, so they could only use tinderboxes. The tinderbox was convenient, but it was too slow.

She threw the calming incense over, and the people from Zhou Family Village rushed over with knives in hand.

But as soon as they picked up the knives, they couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Wanwan fed the antidote to her own people, saying:

"These people from Zhou Family Village really don't learn their lesson!"

They've brought us more supplies, but this oxcart is quite nice; let's take it back with us."

Liu Xiuyuan said softly, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? I'm afraid Zhou Family Village will retaliate; Zhou Family Village is notoriously petty."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"Even if we don't do this, they will still retaliate."

Besides, we're now irreconcilable enemies with Zhou Family Village, so let's also search them for anything they have."

Zhou Qingyan moved very quickly and began to give orders. Soon, these people were thoroughly searched, and even their clothes were stripped off.

Zhou Wanwan sneered at these people. Liu Xiuyuan coughed and said, "Young mistress, you'd better not look. It's not good. After all, you're a young lady. It wouldn't be good if someone saw you."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled. She had seen plenty of people like this in her past life, and besides, they were all skin and bones, not particularly attractive.

Zhou Qingyan had already counted their valuables. "This Zhou Maolin is not bad; we found ten taels of silver and over 500 copper coins on him."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and asked, "Where are the others?"

"The others were a bit less fortunate; together they only earned five taels of silver."

Zhou Wanwan said with satisfaction, "That's not bad. Alright, let's go."

They retreated very quickly. Liu Xiuyuan looked at Zhou Wanwan, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush?"

Liu Xiuyuan coughed and said, "I don't think we did it cleanly. If the people in Zhou Family Village find out it was us, won't they report us to the authorities?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

Report it to the authorities? Wouldn't the officials have to believe that?

More than twenty people were against just a few of us, and the key point is that they attacked first, which is why they didn't dare to report it to the authorities!

Liu Xiuyuan sighed and said:

"I really don't understand what he's thinking. We have no grudge against him."

But he kept attacking us, again and again.

Zhou Wanwan squinted and said, "Someone is pulling strings behind the scenes. If it weren't for Old Madam Zhou's meddling, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Liu Xiuyuan sighed and said, "We're all family, why leave no way out for us?"

Zhou Wanwan sneered, "They don't treat us as family; they treat us as their possessions. Take these things back first!"

The people of Zhou Family Village are really rich; there are more than forty bags of fine grains on this oxcart.

Zhou Wanwan took the grain directly back to Liu Family Village. By the time she finished, it was already afternoon, and she could faintly hear discussions in the village. "So many locusts, swarming everywhere! You can still see them in the fields now!"

"Luckily, our village sold its land, otherwise how would we survive?"

The Liu Family Village shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who says that again will be kicked out of the village!"

Everyone fell silent. Liu Xiuyuan said, "We mainly sold this land to people from Jiang Family Village over there, and now I'm worried they'll cause trouble."

Just as he feared, the people of Jiang Family Village marched over in a mighty force.
