Chapter 796: The Conversation Failed

“Deal.” This was not difficult, but it did require one person to do it.


“High Scholar Chu, why didn’t you let the Xiang family do it?” Wang Shichu was a little confused.


“They have other things to do. With Landlord Wang’s financial resources, it should not be a problem to transport the wood ears to the county.”


Wang Shichu understood. Chu Heng wanted to use his wealth. However, this was normal. The bigger the family, the more they would befriend the smaller families.


Since Chu Heng was willing to befriend him, it meant that he had value, right?


Compared to the Chu family, he was just a small landlord.


Wang Shichu immediately smiled. This time, his smile was especially sincere, and his slightly chubby face looked like the Maitreya Buddha.


“No problem. This is just a small matter. No problem at all.” Wang Shichu patted his chest.


“Then you’ll be in charge of Black Water Village. If there’s anything you need in the future, you can just send a letter to the county’s bookshop.”


“These villagers are not under my jurisdiction, right?” Wang Shichu asked carefully.


Beside him, Ye Muyu listened for a while and chuckled. “Master Wang, it just so happens that there is no village chief in Black Water Village. If you take up the position, you might be rich in the future. Don’t you think so? Actually, the villagers are very simple and honest. Only when there are villagers can you earn money.”


“I… I can’t. My relationship with them is bad.” When Wang Shichu thought of the fingernail marks on his body, he felt weak. He did not even need to think about it. If the price of the wood ears suddenly dropped one day, the villagers would definitely be the first to make things difficult for him. They would think that he was greedy.


“High Scholar Chu, please let me go. I can’t do this. Look at my body. Most of these injuries were caused by the villagers.” Wang Shichu begged for mercy.


Chu Heng glanced at his wrist and saw some fingernail marks. Yesterday, the women in the village did not hold back against him.


“Since you are unwilling, then forget about being the manager.” Chu Heng threw down his words and raised his hand to signal for the guest to leave.


Wang Shichu’s eyes widened. He did not expect that since he refused to interact with the villagers, the other party would take back the opportunity to befriend him.


He was so shocked that his heart was beating fast. He was anxious and puzzled. “High Scholar Chu… Did I do something wrong?”


He could not understand the relationship between the two at all.


Landlords, squires, and villagers were not on the same level. It was already an excellent state to be able to live in harmony and not disturb each other. If it was during the famine era, the lives of ordinary people would probably be worthless.


Chu Heng’s face turned cold, unwilling to communicate with him.


When Han Zhuang saw this, he went forward to pull him away.


Even if Wang Shichu did not want to leave, he could not resist and was sent out of the Xiang family.


Seeing that Han Zhuang was leaving, Wang Shichu impatiently reached out to tug at his sleeve.


Han Zhuang turned around and instinctively grabbed his hand.


Wang Shichu had an ominous feeling in his heart. He quickly said, “Don’t grab me. I just wanted to stop you for a while. I don’t want to do anything to you.”


Han Zhuang let go of her hand when he heard that.


He looked at Wang Shichu and gestured for him to speak directly.


Wang Shichu did not dare to delay and quickly asked, “Brother, why is High Scholar Chu so angry? I don’t have a good relationship with those villagers. I just want to avoid trouble.”


“The Master also came from an ordinary village,” Han Zhuang looked at him and said calmly.


Wang Shichu’s expression instantly stiffened.


He did not expect to miss this point.


Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.


“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t attack the Master, he won’t do anything to you. After all, it’s troublesome.”
