I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 171: Conflict (2)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Hu glared at his youngest son hatefully, wishing he had never given birth to him. After obtaining the 17 taels of silver, he hadn’t had the heart to spend it. Was he going to have to give it back before it had time to warm up in his hands?

Having never seen so much silver in his life, Old Hu was indignant. He gritted his teeth and said, “Even if your family’s rice seeds are made of gold, they’re not worth so much.”

Great-aunt sneered. “How can your family’s wine be worth 17 taels when it’s only sorghum? Aren’t my grains more precious than your sorghum?”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers outside all understood. At the end of the day, Madam Ma-Liu was unwilling to accept losing the 17 taels of silver that the Hu family had taken from her by means of threat. This was revenge.

The people outside were happy to see this. Ever since Hu Man became the section commander, their lives had become much harder.

The Hu family was not as selfless as the Mu family. It was only after comparing their lives under Hu Man that they realized they had it so good back then.

In the past, when Mu Shi was the section commander, when it came to farming work, every family in the village would just be in charge of their own work. The Mu family did not even occupy the plowing oxen and farming tools. This had always been an important reason why they were grateful to the Mu family, and also one of the reasons why Mu Shi could quickly win the respect of his subordinates.

However, now that the section commander was Hu Man, the Hu family occupied all five oxen. Previously when they transplanted the rice, they even transferred the strong laborers from various families to transplant the rice for the Hu family first. Now that it was time to plow the wheat fields, they actually took up all five oxen again.

Nobody dared to say anything in front of the Hu family, but there wasn’t a single person who didn’t speak ill of the Hu family behind their backs.

Even though everyone in the military camp knew that Hu Man was innocent, he was still scolded by the villagers over and over again. At this moment, seeing that the Mu and Hu families were at conflict again and that the Hu family was obviously at a disadvantage, everyone cheered for the Mu family.

Someone was already spreading the news in a low voice. “What’s there to be afraid of? The Hu family isn’t the most powerful family in this village. The Mu family is suppressing them.”

“That’s right. Big Brother Mu easily made Hu Man the section commander. If the Hu family and the Mu family become enemies again, Big Brother Mu might not keep his promise and directly get rid of Hu Man.”
