Bai Yunxi looked at the shocked look on the second child's face and turned around to sit under the eaves. Du Shi immediately gave him a glass of water with a look. Looking at the posture of the second child being taught, Bai Yunxi cleared his throat and said,
"They say there are seven things to do when opening a business: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and grain stores belong to the people's livelihood. Anyone who has anything to do with people's livelihood is behind a powerful person."
"I might as well tell you bluntly that the people who run these industries are either close to some powerful people or have in-depth cooperation with them. In short, none of them are ordinary people."
Bai Anyan: "..."
Is it really that exaggerated?
It is indeed not an ordinary person to use an official as a backer, but this is the first time he heard his mother say this, but he doesn't know the specifics.
Mrs. Du and Mrs. Li had been sitting next to Baiyun River, listening to her narration, their eyes widened.
"Mom, I see that shopkeeper Wang from the grain store is quite kind, right?"
"I'm open for business, but I'm not collecting debts. Is it appropriate for me to brag about my beard and stare at you?"
Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter's blushing smile and said, "Shopkeeper Wang is only responsible for the management of the grain store. He is not the owner. He opens the store to make money. How can he not be kind?"
No matter how kind you are, the purpose is to make money.
Sure enough, when Xiaosi came back after inquiring about the news, they finally knew the whole story.
It was almost as she expected. The grain merchant had already prepared manpower just in case someone made trouble. Moreover, those people were all from the field, one was worth five or six, and they were ruthless and merciless.
She was scared to death. If she really dared to seek justice for herself, she would really have to look up to them.
Baiyunxi listened to Xiaosi's narration, calmly picked up the bowl and drank tea to moisten his throat, without much fluctuation.
It's a pity that no matter how unfair these people are, they can only curse a few times behind their backs to vent their anger, and they have to swallow their grievances themselves.
Moreover, the other party also directly warned that if the next time happens, he will report it directly to the police and be jailed for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
However, the village did not calm down. Seeing the people who went to the town to seek justice return in vain, they were disappointed and began to think of ways to ask the clan leader to come forward.
Xiaosi shook his head, with a look of unfinished expression. He thought these people were so powerful, and they weren't frightened by a few words.
The Song clan chief and the Bai clan chief went, but they scolded everyone and had no intention of standing up for them.
"These injured people in the village were treated in vain, right?"
"The one who cried the most was Grandma Hua. She usually loved Uncle Hua the most. When she saw that he had broken his leg, she fainted on the spot. Aunt Hua and Uncle Hua carried her home together."
Now, the villagers are anxious. They have lost so much money, will not get a word back, and are being beaten. How can they swallow this tone?
"The people who were not injured looked very lucky. They must have been frightened. They may not dare to ask for any price difference in the future."
There were many people who went to seek justice, but unfortunately they were knocked to the ground after three strikes, five divided by two.
Listening to the mother's tone, several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Even if it's wrong to hit someone, just look at how many of them dare to go find trouble?"
Those who had sold all the new grain wanted to rally people one more time to seek justice, but unfortunately, no one was willing to come forward, as they were all afraid that they would be the next to be hurt.
So, what if you can’t swallow it?
Without diamonds, I can't get the porcelain job, and it's useless even if I'm angry like a toad.
The people in Willow Bay were like this, and other villages were similar, and they all died down in the end.
