Wanjin Lady

Chapter 66 Seizing the High Ground
When we arrived at Fengshui Village, the village chief Zhao was a very honest man. He only said that he had signed a contract with Zhuji Grain Store and would not sell to anyone else.

Wen Wan pleaded gently, "Village Chief, as long as there's no written agreement, everything is negotiable. Our Wen Family Winery has a great reputation, and we will definitely not treat you unfairly if you cooperate with us. How about this, I'll increase the price per dou by fifty wen on the contract you signed with Zhu's Grain Shop, and you can share some of that with our winery, is that alright?"

The village chief was indeed hesitant.

Wen Weiming immediately said, "It doesn't matter how much, as long as there is surplus food in the village, we will take it."

The male peacock and his two followers had already caught up a step slower.

"Village Chief Zhao, I'll raise the price by another sixty cents! As long as you sign the contract right now!"

Wen Wan refused to give up. "Village Chief Zhao, he didn't pay the deposit! Zhuji Grain Store harvested a lot of grain this year, but they didn't pay for it all. He might not be able to afford the price. Why don't you cooperate with my Wen Family Winery? I can guarantee to pay half of the grain money now."

Yuan Jing was furious. Was Wen Wan trying to pick a fight with him? Was she trying to steal his girl?

He pushed Accountant Zhou forward, "Village Chief Zhao, now! Immediately! Sign the contract right now! Don't believe that little woman's lies. Everyone knows that her Wen Family Winery is about to collapse. If you cooperate with her, you're afraid you won't get a penny! If she pays you half now, I can pay her too!"

Wen Wan was furious, "Sir, what deep hatred do you have with my Wen Family Winery that you have to take it to the extreme?"

The more anxious Wen Wan got, the more proud Yuan Jing became. He waved a paper fan in his hand and said, "Oh, why are you getting so impatient, Shopkeeper Wen? We're all businessmen. Since we all want to buy grain, it all depends on our ability."

Wen Weiming's eyes turned red with anger. "Let's go! Let's go to the next village. I don't believe we can't find a village willing to sell grain to us today!"

The three men ran around all day, visiting four or five villages near Ping County, but found nothing.

It was almost dusk and the three of them were exhausted. Their calves were trembling. When they could no longer walk, they sat down side by side on the side of the road.

Wen Wan was so tired that the front and back of her bra stuck together, her hair was dripping with sweat, and she drank from the kettle noisily.

Master Ma's face was wrinkled with worry as he looked at the mountains in the distance. "Young Master, if all else fails, let's go a little further. I remember there are a few villages on the other side of the mountain..."

Wen Weiming panted, "It's too far, and transportation is a big hassle. A quarter of the several hundred kilograms of food would be lost on the way."

Ma Changshun frowned, "But now all the grain near Ping County has been bought up by Zhuji, and the autumn harvest is just around the corner... If we don't place an order now... the winery won't be able to open."

Yes.

Either way, it's death.

Without food, it is not a question of whether you die or not, but how you die.

Wen Wan finished the water in the pot, wiped the sweat from her neck, and held her trembling calf muscles. At this moment, she could still smile, "Okay. Let's stop here for today. It's only August, and it's not harvest time yet."

Wen Weiming realized it later, "Why did Zhu's Grain Store collect so much grain? In previous years, there wasn't such a big show! His so-called distant cousin is so wealthy? Isn't this just forcing us to die?"

Wen Wan smiled, "It's still unclear who will win. Anyway, I have some free time today, so I'll play with them for a while."

Seeing that Wen Wan looked anxious today but was actually relaxed, Wen Weiming had a lot of questions, but unfortunately he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Humph.

I didn't hit the kid, but he kept running away. How could I not be angry?

Seeing Wen Wan's relaxed expression, as if she was sure of victory, Wen Weiming finally couldn't help but break the ice first, "What are you planning?"

Seeing that Father Wen took the initiative to talk to her, Wen Wan instantly smiled flatteringly, as attentive as if she was facing an SVIP supreme customer, "Dad, I guess we won't be able to buy food."

Just as he finished speaking, Yuan Jing's furious voice came from the official road, "Wen Wan, you stinky bitch, how dare you play tricks on me?!"

The man approached angrily, and Wen Wan subconsciously took half a step back, while Wen Weiming and Ma Changshun immediately protected Wen Wan behind them.

Wen Wan's smile remained unchanged. "Hey, isn't this so-and-so? Who was it? What's wrong?"

Why is Wen Wan so popular now? Yuan Jing pointed at Wen Wan's nose and cursed, "Are you deliberately setting me up?"

what?
Wen Weiming and Ma Changshun turned around in shock and looked at the person behind them.

Wen Wan looked puzzled. "Sir, I don't understand what you're saying. You personally brought people to buy this grain, and you signed the contract yourself. How could I set you up? Why don't you want to buy grain? My Wen family can afford it! Why don't you sell me all the grain you have?"

"You!" Yuan Jing's face flushed with anger. If it weren't for Zhu Ji's shopkeeper's reminder, he wouldn't have realized that he was being led around the mountain like a dog by Wen Wan. "Don't think I don't know. It's obvious that you're pretending to buy grain and deliberately driving up the price!"

Haha, your reaction is not slow.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "It's unfair. Young Master, you know that my Wen family really wants to buy grain. Without grain, my winery won't be able to open in the second half of the year—"

"Stop your f**king pretense in front of me! You clearly knew you couldn't buy food, so you made it difficult for me! If you hadn't deliberately raised the price to incite me, there's no way I would have spent a few hundred more taels!"

Yuan Jing's eyes were red, and Cheng Yunzhang's words "You can't beat her" came to his ears again, and his blood rushed up.

He grabbed Wen Wan's sleeve and started to pull at her. "You are such a vicious woman! Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing too many bad things? I tell you, no one in this world dares to tease you, Sixth Master, like this! Do you believe it or not, I can just move my fingers and your Wen Family Winery will be reduced to ashes—"

In her previous life, every time Wen Wan saw an old man angrily beating up a young man for refusing to give up his seat, she would imagine herself as the one being beaten up and imagine how she would deal with it.

Netizens came to the conclusion after a heated argument.

Lie down right here!

Lying down faster than him! Howling more miserably than him!
Society has always been like this, paying less attention to right and wrong and more attention to strength and weakness.

Facing the red-faced Yuan Jing who looked like he was about to fight, Wen Wan timidly slid on the spot, then fell straight to the ground and lay completely on the ground.

Yes.

At this moment, she did it.

Her dream came true.

She finally lay down on the ground before the evil forces.

She was the first to seize the moral high ground.

Then, a girl's screams were heard in the mountains.

"Murder—help—"

Yuan Jing was caught off guard by the fact that Wen Wan, who seemed gentle and well-behaved, could be such a scoundrel. He stood there in a daze, and then became even more furious!

This woman is pretending!

Oh shit!

Pretending again!

Pretending again!

You're a fucking bitch, right?
Why is throwing a tantrum a woman’s privilege?

"You, you, you..." After thinking for a while, Yuan Jing realized that throwing a tantrum was actually an impeccable trick.

If he touches her even a finger, Yuan Jing's innocence will be gone!
"Get up!"

Wen Wan ignored him and continued to yell on the ground: "Murder! Help!"
