I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 375: Frightened

 Baiyunxi looked at the second son's shocked look, turned around and sat under the eaves, Du Shi immediately sent him a glass of water with a look, and looked at the second son's posture of being taught, Baiyunxi cleared his throat,

“It is said that 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. But anything related to the people’s livelihood is backed by powerful people.”

“Let me tell you bluntly, the people who run these industries are either close to some powerful people, or they have deep cooperation with them. In short, none of them are ordinary people.”

Bai Anyan: "…"

 Is it really that exaggerated?

It is indeed not ordinary people 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.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Li have been sitting next to Baiyun River, listening to her narration, their eyes widened.

“Mom, I see that shopkeeper Wang from the grain store looks quite kind, right?”

“I’m just open for business, and 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 be nice if he doesn't do it?"

 No matter how kind you are, the purpose is to make money.

Hearing the mother's tone, several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

 “These injured people in the village were treated in vain, right?”

“Even if it’s wrong to hit someone, just look at how many of them would dare to make a scene?”

 She was scared to death. If she really dared to seek justice for herself, she would really have to look up to them.

It's a pity that no matter how unfair these people are, they can only vent their anger by swearing behind their backs, and they have to swallow their grievances themselves.

Sure enough, when Xiaosi came back after asking for 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 practitioners, one was worth five or six, and they were ruthless and merciless.

There were many people who went to seek justice. Unfortunately, they were knocked to the ground after three strikes and five divided by two.

Moreover, the other party also directly warned that if there is a next time, he will report it directly to the official and be put in jail for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

“Those who were not injured looked very lucky. They must have been frightened, and they may not dare to ask for any price difference in the future.”

Xiao Si shook his head, as if he still had something to say. He thought these people were so powerful, and they weren't frightened by a few words.

"The one who cried the most was Grandma Hua. She 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."

Baiyunxi listened to Xiaosi's narration, calmly picked up the bowl and drank tea to moisten his throat, without much fluctuation.

However, the village did not calm down. Seeing those 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.

The Song clan chief and the Bai clan chief went, but they scolded everyone and had no intention of standing up for them.

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?

Those who had sold all the new grain wanted to rally people again to seek justice. 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, it is impossible to do porcelain work, and it is useless even if you are angry like a toad.

The people in Willow Bay were like this, and the other villages were similar, and they all died down in the end.
