In fact, Zhou Kui was originally thinking in this direction, but when he heard Lin Xu's cold tone, he seemed to be really angry. He immediately laughed: "That's not possible! Last winter, your Jiangling County was hit by a disaster.
It was so serious, but my husband spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy grain for disaster relief! If my husband wanted to make a fortune from the disaster, he had already done so last winter! Therefore, no matter who in the world wants to make a fortune from the disaster, it is possible.
But this person is definitely not sir!"
Then, he smiled playfully and continued: "However, as far as I know, there are many people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune!"
"Really? I don't know who they are?"
Lin Xu asked deliberately.
"Haha, I just listened casually. As for the specific people, I don't know."
Zhou Kui smiled and covered up the matter.
Originally, Lin Xu came here today to have a heart-to-heart chat with Zhou Kui, but seeing Zhou Kui's inconsiderate attitude, he lost interest in chatting with Zhou Kui.
He was in a bad mood and didn't bother to be tactful. He stood up directly and said, "Brother Zhou, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first!"
"Hey, sir, don't leave in a hurry, this pot of tea hasn't been finished yet!"
Zhou Kui quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
“Let’s drink it another day!”
Lin Xu said as he strode out!
"Sir! Sir!"
Zhou Kui was such an astute person. Naturally, he knew why Lin Xu was angry. He quickly followed him and explained: "Sir, don't be angry. I really don't know what the current disaster situation in Suzhou is like! It took a lot of effort for my husband to get out of this pool."
Withdrawing from the muddy water, as his chief steward, how can I go and ask about this matter? I can't even hide!"
Lin Xu thought about it. From Zhou Kui's point of view, it was really too late to hide. He didn't understand the situation in Suzhou, which was completely normal!
Therefore, his tone softened and he explained: "Brother Zhou misunderstood. I didn't mean that. There is actually something else."
"If that's the case, then I won't try to keep you any longer! However, I have one more piece of advice that I hope you, sir, can keep in mind!"
"Brother Zhou, please speak!"
Zhou Kui lowered his voice and said: "In order to promote the policy of converting rice to mulberry, some people have gone to any lengths to promote the policy of converting rice to mulberry. They can even destroy dikes and flood fields. What else can be done?"
Is it something they don’t dare to do? This pool of water is getting deeper and deeper, and it’s getting muddier!”
"So, my advice is very simple, that is, never step into this water! No one knows where there are deep pits or rocks in this water! If you are not careful, you may fall.
If you fall into muddy water, you will never get out again!"
"As for the victims, to be honest, I feel sorry for them, but what's the use?"
"To be honest, for us people, under such a big storm, if we can take good care of our own family, it is a blessing! Are we capable of other things?"
"That's all! Sir, please think about it more!"
After saying that, Zhou Kui also gave Lin Xu a solemn bow!
Lin Xu could hear that Zhou Kui's words were indeed true to his heart, so he also bowed and said: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for reminding me, I will keep it in mind!"
