Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 421 - 392: Extortion

Yu Changhe and Sun Fengshou, upon hearing Yu Xiaolian say this, wanted to step forward to stop her, but were waved away by her.

Isn’t this giving the Jiang Family an opportunity to extort their family? What is his daughter up to? Yu Changhe didn’t understand, but since his daughter was so determined, she must have her own plan. Knowing that his daughter was someone who had her own ideas and wouldn’t suffer any losses, Yu Changhe felt slightly reassured.

Lu Shi and Jiang Dingcai were overjoyed as soon as they heard Yu Xiaolian say this.

The Yu Family is going to give them money!

"That’s what you said, no take-backs!" Jiang Dingcai was afraid Yu Xiaolian would go back on her word.

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "No take-backs. Since both of our families agree on what I said, then let’s each go home and find a doctor to treat the injuries!"

Jiang Dingcai was about to readily agree, but his wife Lu Shi stopped him, "Wait a moment!"

Lu Shi always thought Yu Xiaolian had set a trap for her, but she didn’t know exactly where the pitfall was.

She pulled Jiang Dingcai aside and whispered, "This matter might not be as simple as it seems. I always feel like Yu Xiaolian’s smile is not a good one; this girl never makes a loss in business, so why is she being so agreeable today?"

Jiang Dingcai always listened to Lu Shi, and he genuinely believed his wife was sharp. Hearing her say this, Jiang Dingcai immediately realized Yu Xiaolian was indeed too agreeable today.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Lu Shi couldn’t make up her mind for a moment, so she whispered, "We both didn’t get hurt, so how about... we just forget it?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"You say forget it and it’s just forgotten? Xun Shi might not necessarily agree!"

Lu Shi turned back and said to Yu Xiaolian, "We’re all living in the same village, and we’ll see each other often. We discussed it, and we won’t ask for medical fees from you, but we also won’t pay medical fees for Xun Shi. You should see if Xun Shi agrees or not?"

Yu Xiaolian raised an eyebrow; Lu Shi was quite shrewd, actually seeing through her plan. Originally, she intended to use trickery against trickery to give Lu Shi and Jiang Dingcai a hard time.

This couple was quite unpopular. Last summer, nearly every household in the village bought chili seeds from the Yu Family to plant. In the fall, they harvested the red chilies and sold them to her family’s workshop to make hot pot base material.

The entire village was grateful to Yu Changhe because planting chilies gave them an extra source of income. This income was even more profitable than corn and wheat, and it was possible to plant them in little corners, without paying taxes to the court.

Lu Shi and Jiang Dingcai, however, were the types who gained advantages and still played the victim. They were not satisfied with just growing chilies; they also coveted the tomato and watermelon seeds in the Yu Family’s backyard, always finding ways to obtain them. If it were someone else, Yu Changhe would have given them, as it’s just a matter of a few seeds. Whether they could grow successfully or not wouldn’t be his concern. But the other party was Jiang Dingcai, the lazy and troublemaking uncle according to Jiang Haiqiu, so Yu Changhe didn’t give Jiang Dingcai and his wife a good face.

Moreover, the watermelons could only grow large, sweet, and flesh-heavy with seeds from her daughter’s supermarket. They tried planting the seeds from eaten watermelons, only to find that those seeds bloomed a lot but didn’t produce melons well, and the ripe melons were small.

Lu Shi and Jiang Dingcai constantly kept an eye on the Yu Family, even encouraging some people to start resenting the rich.

In their minds, they always felt the Yu Family made money too easily, believing that everyone should make money together, and they should be entitled to a share.

While eating, Yu Changhe often discussed with Sun Shi and Yu Xiaolian how unreliable the Jiang Dingcai couple was, so even though Yu Xiaolian hadn’t dealt with Jiang Dingcai, she knew that their character wasn’t up to much.

Just today, she had the opportunity to take them to task, but unexpectedly, Lu Shi didn’t fall for it.

Xun Shi, upon hearing Lu Shi’s words, raised her voice, "I don’t agree! I can’t just let it slide after being hit; my leg needs money for treatment. If your family doesn’t pay, then no one will have a good time. I’ll have someone tell my son about this and let him break your leg too?"

Xun Shi knew what her son was up to now because he had told her about his debt collecting. She also knew that her son had people working under him.
