Chapter 75: Caught Off Guard

The position of Village Chief was not an easy one to hold, and it was inevitable that trivial disputes would arise in the village. Feng Yun did not get angry, nor did she pay any heed to the man's ranting but only regarded those headmen with a detached look.

One of the headmen, named Yang Daniu, came forward, pointing at the man and scolding him.

"Zhang Erbing, don't be ungrateful! War has left the land barren, and which village within miles doesn't lack grain? Moreover, these farm tools were all purchased by the Lady Village Chief from Shiguan County. If you have the means, your family does not have to rent them, no one's forcing you."

When a headman spoke up, the others nodded in agreement.

"Where is it accepted to take advantage of something and not pay for it?"

"The fields are our own, but the grain won't grow by itself."

Seeing that someone had taken the initiative, Feng Yun chose not to say more and instructed them with a few words before turning to head home.
