Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband
Chapter 217 Everyone has a scale in their heart
Lin Yu spoke calmly, seeming confident: "As long as we stand upright, she won't be able to cause any trouble. If she dares to make trouble again, we will report her to the police."
Ran He nodded in agreement: "Xiao Yu is right. If they continue to act unreasonably, the government will naturally discipline them. You don't have to worry too much. It's better for us to focus on our own affairs."
After hearing this, Wu Xu's anxiety was slightly reduced and he nodded.
In the afternoon, the originally quiet courtyard was broken by a sudden curse. The sound was so loud that even the people in the backyard could hear it clearly.
Ran He stopped writing and rubbed his forehead, his brows full of fatigue: "It's really noisy."
"It's the same thing again."
As soon as the three of them stepped into the courtyard, the servants in the house gathered together with nervous expressions.
The prince was out and had not returned, so protecting the princess's safety became their top priority. Otherwise, they would be punished when the prince returned.
"Yan Er, you should hurry to the government office and tell the county magistrate everything that happened. Ask them to send someone to handle it properly."
Ran He gave orders calmly.
For this kind of unreasonable and unscrupulous behavior, it would be more effective to seek help from the government instead of wasting time arguing.
Ran He shoulders a heavy responsibility and has numerous trivial matters to deal with every day, so he does not have the extra energy to deal with these villains.
This is no longer Hexi Village. She doesn't have to compromise like she did in her hometown just to gain a little understanding and trust.
It is extremely foolish to have power but not use it well.
Yan Er took action immediately upon hearing the order, while Yan Ba, Mo Zhu and others stayed close to Ran He to prevent any unexpected situations.
The door opened with a bang, and a crowd of people gathered outside. Leading the crowd were members of the Zhao family, and behind them were many villagers who came to watch the fun.
When the second son's wife saw them, she shouted at the crowd around her: "It's these outsiders who think they have a few bucks and look down on us country folk. They beat me and my sister-in-law out!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu angrily refuted: "You are full of lies. How could we ever touch a hair on your head? On the contrary, why don't you dare to admit the good things you have done in public?"
Zhao Er's wife straightened her back and cursed back with full force, her voice so loud that it almost shook the air around her: "What did I do? What can I do? You wealthy people have long looked down on us common people, but even so, you shouldn't act recklessly and bully weak women like us. Look, I still have the marks of those insults on my body."
As she spoke, she gently stroked the lapels of her clothes, as if every inch of fabric there carried her grievances and anger.
"Injured? If you have the ability, show it to us and let us judge for ourselves."
Lin Yu snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashed between his brows, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ran He realized that Lin Yu was almost misled by the other party's words, so he shook his head slightly, signaling her not to say more.
She turned to face Zhao Er's wife, with a gentle but slightly distant smile on her lips. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, but it was firm and could not be ignored: "Let's put aside the matter of the wound for now. Aunt Zhao Er, I just want to ask you a question. What exactly are you doing here today? If there is no special reason, why did you suddenly appear here? Why don't you get straight to the point and tell me your purpose?"
The words of Zhao Er's wife caused a small commotion. The villagers present were all confused when they heard it, and their eyes were all focused on her, waiting for a reasonable answer.
Feeling the scrutiny of everyone, Zhao Er's wife seemed a little helpless, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "Why else? It's because you were interested in our vacant yard and wanted to buy it. We believed it and turned down other buyers, but now you regret it. Aren't you making fun of us? We naturally want to seek justice."
After listening to the explanation from Zhao Er's wife, the surrounding villagers immediately understood the whole story and their expressions showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
Although the transaction should be voluntary on both sides, the Zhao family rejected other buyers because of the other party, but the other party changed his mind. This kind of fickle behavior was undoubtedly considered as a breach of trust by others and left a very bad impression on people.
Normally, when sellers encounter this situation, they will most likely consider themselves unlucky and let the matter go.
However, given Zhao Er's wife's stubborn character, it seemed reasonable for her to come back to seek an explanation.
After hearing this, Ran He sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm. He slowly said, "Aunt Zhao, you seem to have missed a crucial detail. At first, you offered thirty taels of silver, but during the second negotiation, you suddenly changed your mind and insisted on one hundred taels, not a penny less. So, who violated the principle of honesty?"
"One hundred taels of silver!"
These words exploded among the crowd like a thunderclap. The pupils of the villagers couldn't help but dilate and they exchanged looks in disbelief.
"Oh, no wonder they don't want to buy it. They want to sell the old, dilapidated house for a hundred taels of silver. Who would want to be the sucker?"
"Have the three Zhao brothers become obsessed with money and can't get out?"
"Thirty taels of silver is already a fair price, but they are still not satisfied and are asking for a hundred taels."
"It's obvious that they were targeting our wallets and deliberately blackmailing us. In the end, they were too clever for their own good and it's their own fault!"
When the villagers heard the astronomical figure of "one hundred taels of silver", they were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such a scene in rural life.
While everyone was discussing it, Ran He continued to explain slowly: "First, you breached the contract first; second, whether there are other buyers or not is not the point; third, we have never made any promises to you, let alone signed any written evidence. Buying and selling should be free and not restricted by others. Instead, you first asked for an exorbitant price, then forced us to buy, and finally gathered people to make trouble and threaten us. I have been in the world for many years and have seen many kinds of people, but I have never seen such unreasonable and despicable behavior as you. Your behavior is simply the ultimate interpretation of roguery and meanness. I am afraid that only the most shameless people can do such a despicable thing. The Zhao family has a daughter-in-law like you. If the ancestors of the Zhao family knew about it, they would be ashamed."
Zhao Er's wife was so angry at the rebuke that her fingers trembled and she couldn't even finish a sentence: "You, you..."
Zhao Jia Erlang saw his wife's face turn blue with anger, and saw the villagers whispering and pointing at each other, so he quickly stood up to defend her: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is lying!"
Ran He smiled calmly and asked calmly: "Who is lying? I think the villagers have a scale in their hearts."
