The Rough Man and the Beautiful Wife of the Orion Miracle Doctor

Chapter 280 You are taking advantage of the fire

Fang Jinxiu's guess was absolutely correct, that was what Old Man Zong had planned.

However, he did not use money to prepare grain seeds during this period, but their family already had grain seeds.

They were all stored before the drought, and they have been preserved until now because old man Zong is stingy enough to use them for food and drink at home. Once he feels they are not enough, he goes to Zong Yu to ask for them.

The whole village is so hungry that no one knows that old man Zong still has a lot of food in his hand. Even old lady Wu doesn't know how much food rations her family has now.

Because the key to the cellar where the grain is stored is in the hands of Mr. Zong.

He couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face. Village Chief Wang heard the underlying meaning of his words and asked quickly.

"Uncle Zong, you mean you have grain in your hands?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the village was shocked.

"It's impossible. The drought has lasted so long. How can anyone save food? I'm so hungry that I wish I could eat the bark off the trees in front of my house."

Someone joked, "You're just talking about your own home."

"It's really possible that this old man from Zong has food in his hands. After all, their family used to live the best life in the village. They had no worries about food and drink, and they often went to Zong Yu to ask for this or that."

"It's not surprising that he has food."

"I think so. Look at their family, and then look at us."

"I feel like even Mrs. Wu is fatter than me. We are so skinny that we are all skin and bones."

Fang Jinxiu heard this and actually looked back and forth to compare.

Indeed, several people in the old house have rosy complexions and normal bodies. They are not considered fat, but they are definitely not thin either.

Being able to maintain this physical condition in such a harsh environment shows that they have never been hungry.

Fang Jinxiu felt heartbroken just thinking about how much money and food they had taken from Zong Yu.

After all, the food that Old Man Zong saves now is all saved by sucking Zong Yu's blood!

She crossed her arms over her chest and her face darkened.

Old man Zong noticed Fang Jinxiu's gaze, glanced at her disdainfully, and then answered Village Chief Wang's words with a smile. "Yes, I do have a lot of grain in my hand that can be used as grain seeds."

This should have been good news, but if a villager or a family told him that they had a lot of grain in their hands, Village Chief Wang would jump with joy.

But facing Old Man Zong, his heart sank when he heard these words.

This is not an easy boss to get rid of. I don’t know what kind of price the village will have to pay if I want to get some grain from him.

"Uncle Zong, this is great. It seems that everyone in the village will be able to survive this winter thanks to your great kindness."

Village Chief Wang didn't care about Sanqi 21 and put all the good words and high hats on him first. Old man Zong was not as easy to fool as Zong Pingkang.

He didn't accept this trick at all and said calmly.

"Village Chief Wang, please stop doing this. I know you all want the grain in my hand, but I won't give it to you for free."

"I am conditional."

Fang Jinxiu had a bad feeling in her heart.

"First, our household water cannot be restricted by anyone. We can use as much as we want."

"Second, I want the village to allocate another ten acres of wasteland for me."

When he heard the second condition, Village Chief Wang's face stopped smiling, but he still didn't speak.

Old man Zong looked at him and said with a smile, "Village Chief Wang, it's good that I didn't ask you for the farmland in the village, and it's not like I won't pay for the wasteland."

"It's two hundred coins for an acre of wasteland. In today's world, this land is the most worthless. I can still give you so much money because it's for your sake."

Village Chief Wang could still bear it, but Tie Zhu couldn't.

"What are you kidding!"

"The wasteland usually costs one tael of silver per acre. Now you actually want to buy ten acres of wasteland with two taels of silver? You are simply taking advantage of the situation."
