Chapter 94 is gone?
Chapter 94 is gone?
This time, Lü Jiquan seized on this point that they had always disliked and spoke it out directly, refusing to let Wu Guizhi continue to stir things up.
The amount of grain that Wu Guizhi has received is enough to sustain their village for a while.
No matter how the Yuan family plans to deal with them, as long as they get enough food, they will still have a way to survive and won't be in dire straits.
Moreover, the whole of Ningshui Village worked together on this project, yet they were subject to Wu Guizhi's management and control, which was unacceptable to Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan.
They didn't want them to continue suffering losses, and they didn't want Wu Guizhi to abuse her power for personal gain. Therefore, they had to get their hands on the grain under Wu Guizhi's command as soon as possible.
After a pause, Lü Jiquan looked at Wu Guizhi, whose face had changed, and continued, "Moreover, you've already said that the Yuan family might blame you for this and might take back the grain. So you should take out all the grain and distribute it to everyone quickly, and everyone should take it and hide it away."
“If we handle it this way, with each household storing and using the grain themselves, then when the Yuan family arrives, they won’t be able to deal with us one by one.”
"The law does not punish the masses. We will not return the grain we have obtained to the Yuan family. It belongs to all of us. There is no reason for us to return it!"
At this point, Lü Jiquan gradually sorted out his thoughts and increasingly felt that Wu Guizhi, who had been in control of that grain, must have provided a lot of relief to the Wu family!
But on what basis?
It was clearly grain from Ningshui Village, and the Yuan family was giving it to Ningshui Village. What right did Wu Guizhi have to give the grain to the Wu family without permission?
Lü Jiquan found this completely unacceptable.
Especially since Wu Guizhi did this without telling any of them, it made Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan extremely dissatisfied.
Judging from Wu Guizhi's reaction, Lü Jiquan still felt that the amount of grain Wu Guizhi gave to the Wu family was probably not small!
Thinking of this situation, Lü Jiquan's face became even more grim.
Taking a deep breath to regain his composure, Lü Jiquan looked at Wu Guizhi and continued, "Mrs. Lü, we know what you're up to, but Lü Daquan and the others have already left. You can't skimp on any of the benefits you're owed!"
"That grain was originally intended for the Yuan family to use for our Ningshui Village and for our Lü clan's affairs. Why should it continue to be under your control?"
"No matter how much food you've already used, now you should bring out all the remaining food!"
"We'll make arrangements based on the amount of existing stock; it's not up to you to decide!"
Although it's still uncertain, through this test and confrontation, Lü Jiquan still feels that Wu Guizhi must have embezzled a lot of grain!
This made Lü Jiquan and Lü Bowen even more heartbroken, anxious, and resentful, and naturally, they became even more dissatisfied with Wu Guizhi!
Upon hearing what Lü Jiquan said, Wu Guizhi's expression changed instantly.
If we make her hand over that grain and distribute it to every household, then she will have no grain to rely on. What say will she have in the village in the future?
The people in Ningshui Village are all very pragmatic. Once she loses her usefulness, she'll likely meet a bad end.
Based on her previous ability to command others in the village to bully Lü Daquan and Xie Shulan, and the fact that everyone else was under her control, now that she no longer has food to rely on, it will be difficult for her to continue to have a smooth ride in Ningshui Village!
Besides, where would she get so much food?
She went back to her parents' home yesterday, but she sent a lot of grain with her, hoping that her family would have a better life.
She already had very little food left, and now she has even less.
If things get out of hand here, she'll be in deep trouble!
Lu Jiquan and his group openly attacked her, which meant they came prepared!
This hurdle is probably going to be difficult for her.
Noticing the change in Wu Guizhi's expression and her guilty look, Lü Jiquan frowned, but quickly realized that Wu Guizhi had probably already squandered all the grain!
Remembering that Wu Guizhi often helped her family and had just returned home yesterday with bags and packages, Lü Jiquan's expression changed. He stared at Wu Guizhi with wide eyes and asked, "Lü Wu Shi, you didn't actually send all that grain back to your family, did you?"
"You've always liked to support your family. When you went back yesterday, you didn't send all the grain there, did you?"
"If that's really the case, then we'll go to the Wu family right now and get the grain back!"
"That's grain belonging to Ningshui Village. You wouldn't be so concerned only with your own family and want us all to starve to death because of the famine, would you?"
The more Lü Jiquan thought about these things, the more certain he became of the grammar, and he always felt that Wu Guizhi hadn't done anything good!
Otherwise, given Wu Guizhi's personality, she would probably have jumped out to refute it immediately and presented evidence.
But if Wu Guizhi actually did that, their Ningshui Village would suffer a great loss!
Having considered all this, Lü Jiquan and Lü Bowen realized the seriousness of the problem and foresaw a very bad outcome.
After hearing what Lü Jiquan said, everyone present changed their expressions.
That was their grain, so why should Wu Guizhi give it to her family?
Moreover, Wu Guizhi has already married into their Ningshui Village. Instead of prioritizing the interests of everyone, she dares to use such important grain to take care of her own family.
If Wu Guizhi really does this, they certainly won't let it go.
At this moment, everyone was staring at Wu Guizhi, wanting to get specific answers from her so they could decide on the next steps as soon as possible.
Things haven't been going well lately, especially the impact of the famine, which has made them all pay special attention to food.
It was precisely because Wu Guizhi had grain on hand and the Yuan family and Yuan Yutong backing her up that they had no choice but to obey Wu Guizhi and follow her in doing many things that turned black into white.
But now that Lü Daquan's family has left Ningshui Village, there might be some changes in their deal with the Yuan family, which makes Lü Jiquan and the others a little nervous. This is why they are even more furious about Wu Guizhi secretly using grain to supplement her family's supplies.
They were waiting to see Wu Guizhi's reaction and subsequent explanation to find out what really happened.
If Wu Guizhi truly disappoints them, they will not be lenient either.
