Chapter 650: Take her credit
" That's right, who is the one who told that Qiao woman that we are making oil? We just started today and she already knows, how come?" Chen Mi who was munching on his stir fry vegetables like he was eating someone's meat, looked at Village head Gu with a sullen look on his face and muttered. " Because of the villagers I am eating this rabbit food and yet they dug a pit for my family, is there any humanity left in this world or not?"
Village Head Gu's face turned solemn as well because what Chen Mi and Yu Dong said was right, if they do not catch that snitch now then they might end up with a bigger loss than losing just the chance of buying oil from the Qiao mill, at least for now she still had Yu Dong's oil to look forward to but if the villagers ruined it then ….
" This is ridiculous," Aunt Wang too couldn't help but join in the fray as she banged her fists on the table as she remarked, " We are doing something good for the villages, clearly when Yu Dong extracts oil then our village will get better and better, neither of us will have to lower our hands and we will have a stable income yet someone still wants to harm us?"
Village head Gu pursed her lips and said, " There is no need for you all to worry about this after all, I am still looking forward to you all squeezing oil out of this rice bran, I will not let anyone touch the oil much less ruin it. I will go and ask the strong women of the village to come and keep guard of this oil while you all stay behind and do your work. There is only one oil mill in the town and that belongs to Qiao Lu she is too arrogant because of this, even the price that she told us when she sold the oil to the people of our village was outrageous."
" If not for the fact that I cannot get oil from somewhere else I wouldn't have let her bully us like this from the beginning, now that I have an opportunity to fight back, how can I let anyone ruin it? Yu Dong, you don't need to worry, just leave this matter to me."
Yu Dong did not have any worries from the beginning she just wanted Village head Gu to think that the oil she was getting was not coming easily to her, if she handed the oil to Village head Gu without making the latter work for it then how will the latter be grateful to her?
She nodded and then said, " Village head Gu once you are done, you should come and help me. I am the only one who can grind the rice barn in the family everyone else will have a tough time doing it so if you don't mind——?"
" Of course I will come," at this moment if Yu Dong had asked Village head Gu to sign off half of her property to her, maybe the latter would have agreed to it as well. The extraction of oil was not a small thing, those who owned an oil mill can control the main market with ease and if someone from their village extracts oil and hands it to the magistrate then she was sure that she will be rewarded by the magistrate heavily!
Just the very thought of those rewards was enough to make her work hard, even though she knew that because of the matter of the mers being caught and killed will get her to lose her position at least by then she will be able to save a lot of money!
Village head Gu left the Mu house and went back to her home to change clothes once she was done asking the women who were strong and sturdy to guard the Mu house. When she was changing her clothes, her husband walked into the room and walked over to her with a frown as he asked, " Are you sure that Yu Dong will be able to extract oil from that rice husk?"
Hearing his question Village head Gu was stunned and a bit upset as she turned to look at her husband and said, " What are you trying to say?"
Mister He who was being glared at by his wife lowered his head and said, " I don't mean anything wrong by this I was just saying that if she knows how to extract oil, then why don't you take her credit? Think about it if the magistrate finds out that you were the one who came up with the procedure of extracting oil from the rice bran that goes to waste usually wouldn't you be treated like the best village head? She might even forgive you for all the mers who died!"
Mister He thought that he was really smart, if his wife takes Yu Dong credit then he will not have to worry about getting kicked out of his position as the husband of the village head because he knew that Yu Dong was the first candidate the magistrate considered as the next village head and with the fact that mounds of mers' bodies were found, there was a very high chance that his wife would be kicked out from her position very soon.
And if they don't take the credit from Yu Dong then surely the next village head will be Yu Dong! When Mister He thought about it he could not help but shudder in fright, he has beaten Yu Dong and treated her husbands badly if that woman became the next village head then she will surely teach him a good lesson.
Which was why he could never allow her to become the village head, never!
He turned to look at his wife and tugged at her sleeves before he coquettishly said, " What do you say don't you think that this is the best thing we can do?"
