Faced with Zhou Erhu, the villagers truly dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Some families lacked young men and were afraid of being swindled when taking vegetables to the city to sell. Others had no means of transportation to get their produce out of the village. They feared that if they offended Zhou Erhu, they would have no way to sell their vegetables later, leaving their livelihood in jeopardy.
Facing Zhou Erhu, Wang Cuilian could not help but think of the incident in the small grove the other day, and anger welled up in her chest. Though somewhat timid, she argued loudly, "How have I stolen your business? I haven't taken your vegetables, and the prices are clearly set—if people are willing to sell to you, I have no objection!"
She currently had over a hundred thousand yuan and simply wanted to help Zhao Tiezhu collect some vegetables. When she was eating yesterday, it was decided that Mother Sun would sell her vegetables today, and she had come over to see how things were going. As it turned out, no sooner had they reached an agreement than Zhou Erhu and his men burst in like vicious demons.
