Chapter 1003: The truth behind the ownership
Grandma Yu looked at Peng Jing and was so furious that she was trembling. She hated the fact that she couldn’t protect her family but what she hated was that Peng Jing took advantage of their family and yet she is acting so shamelessly. She even hurt Xiao Hua and caused his face to be ruined! She pointed at Peng Jing and then screamed angrily, ” Peng Jing, you are shameless! You took advantage of our herd’s manure and now you dare speak ill of my granddaughter! Have you ever seen what is the difference between your vegetables and ours?”Yu Dong felt Yu Mai shiver, she immediately smoothed his back and then turned to look at Grandma Yu who was beaten up by the Peng family and then said, ” Grandma, there is no need for you to get angry. Those who are honest do not fear anything, only those who have unscrupulous hearts and bad intentions would shout loudly to make themselves sound honest and true.”
She then turned to look at the villagers who were waiting for an explanation and then turned to look at Peng Jing before saying, ” You are right, I am indeed selling the vegetables in the town and I did sign a deal with Madam of the Song restaurant.”
” See! See! Do you hear that?” Peng Jing was so excited when she heard Yu Dong confess that she looked like she was about to fly over to the night heaven. She turned to look at the villagers who were now frowning and then said, ” Did you hear that, she is just making a fool out of you all!”
Peng Jing then turned to look at Yu Dong and then said, ” Now you gotta pay me compensation!”
Village Head Gu sighed, she was there with Yu Dong when this deal happened thus she already knew about the finer points but she still read out loud the rest of the documents for the villagers who then realized that Yu Dong was the owner of the village not because she was given the authority but because she bought the entire village!
Many villagers sucked in a breath as they turned to look at each other. Though they knew that the oil mill earned a lot of money they did not think it earned so much that Yu Dong was able to buy the entire village!
” Ho..How is this possible!?” Peng Jing was startled after hearing the words that spilt out of Village Head Gu’s mouth she wanted to say that Village Head Gu was helping Yu Dong but then she thought about how Village Head Gu was not that educated, she only knew a few words and thus the words which she spoke could only be written in the documents.
” Just because you think that it is not possible? It’s impossible,” Yu Dong sneered coldly. “It’s true that I was asked to develop this village but I am only doing it because I want to not because I owe anyone anything. I am the owner of this village, even if I don’t care about the villagers there is nothing that Magistrate Li can do about it because I have already offered her thousands of gold taels! So now tell me why should I give anyone an explanation? If you want to follow me then you can do that but if you don’t trust me then you can step away!”
Yu Dong’s eyes were ice cold and her expression held a faint mockery and contempt. ” I don’t owe you or the villagers anything, when I was at my worst where I couldn’t eat and drink…no one came to help me. Back then we were from the same village, even if I was not a good person. As my fellow villagers, you all should have come to help me but neither of you took a step forward. But now that your interests are closely attached to my success, suddenly I have to not only help you all but also make sure that you don’t stay poor. Why…what have you done for me? If I am willing to help you, you should take it as my gratitude. If I don’t help you with what right can you question me?”
She then swept a cold glare at the rest of the villagers who were being swayed around by Peng Jing before she continued, ” Here everyone is living for their own greed. Don’t make it sound like you are all doing it because you trust me—— you are doing it because you know I can lead you to success!”
