Lord Nangong and the Emperor

The villagers still wanted to say something, but they heard Ye Lulu say, "It's our family's business to hire people. Our family is the decision-maker and no one can control us. However, other than hiring people, our family still has to buy vegetables from the village in the future. The amount of vegetables that our shop needs isn't something that a few families can provide alone. We have to find many families and this is on a long-term basis."

These words were like a heavy stone. As soon as they landed, the entire scene fell silent.

The villagers all looked at Ye Lulu.

"Really?!" Someone in the village was the first to come back to their senses and said in surprise, "You're really buying vegetables from the village?"

Ye Lulu nodded. "Why not? We have to use them anyway. Isn't it more suitable to help the villagers than to buy them outside? Besides, the vegetables planted in the mountains are sweeter."
