古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 640: High scale drama

Her words immediately caused the entire villager to laugh out loud as they looked at Old man Tang whose entire face was flushed with anger. Just now they all thought that Yu Dong was actually letting this old mer bully her but now that they have seen her retaliate, they understood that it was indeed impossible for anyone to ever bully Yu Dong!         

" You make it sound so nice?" Yu Dong sneered as she looked at Old man Tang who wanted to quibble even when he saw that his feet were dangling in his grave. " Don\'t think that when I started I had nothing, not even a copper coin in my pocket when you kicked me out you did not even give me a silver tael and asked me to live on my own with a pregnant mer and three malnourished husbands, I had to do it all on my own! If I am standing here with my spine straightened, I can say that I achieved it all on my own!"      

" And it\'s not like I am refusing you to have a share of the money either, I already said that as long as you are willing to give me the rice bran for no sum of money in return, then I will give you a share in the business, as long as you can maintain the amount of rice bran then I will give you a share of the earnings as well, if you don\'t want that then you can take the money now… it\'s just that the amount of money will be different, did I make things difficult for you? I am just keeping a clear record and nothing else. Business should be done cleanly even between brothers  and sisters!"      

But some villagers were still not convinced, they all looked at Yu Dong before one of them asked, " Yu Dong, I know that you are very smart and capable but this is not a game. If we don\'t buy oil from the oil mill in the town then they will never sell it to us and in case they find out and you cannot extract oil from the rice bran, then we won\'t have the right to buy oil from the town. Are you sure that you can make better oil than in the town?"      

" I promise that my oil will be the best among all," Yu Dong nodded, she was not being arrogant but she was simply stating facts, even if the rice bran looked like it did not have much oil to be extracted as long as she was to use her superpowers, she might even extract oil from sunflower seeds and make it better than the rapeseeds one.      

The villagers were still hesitant as they all turned to look at the village head and someone couldn\'t resist the urge as they asked, " Village head, have you already handed your rice bran to Yu Dong?"      

"I have," Village head Gu knew that Yu Dong was confident enough to extract oil and the deal that she put forth was really good as well, if they managed to get oil then she will be able to get a permanent income of two to three silver taels. The money was not small, even though she was the village head, she will have to work hard for an entire year before she was able to save three to four taels.     

If the business was to succeed then she was sure that she will become the winner in life!      

When the villagers heard that Village head Gu has offered all her rice bran to Yu Dong they started to waver again, after all, if the Village head Gu was willing to trust Yu Dong then——     

But at the same time, they all thought that Village Head Gu\'s family was living in a better condition than them, surely they could afford to hand the rice bran to Yu Dong but they were different!      

Yu Dong on the other hand did not say anything she simply looked at the villagers and when she saw that they were still hesitant, she simply shrugged and said, " I will be honest with you, I only have ten empty lots to give, no it should be nine now that I have handed on to Village head Gu… if you all come to a decision then you can come and find me with your rice bran, remember that you only have limited time."      

After she finished speaking she turned to leave but she was stopped by Old man Tang who panicked and shouted, " Wait a moment! I want to know how you are going to extract oil. You don\'t even have the right tools?" Since he could not get any extra money then he will make sure that he will either drag Yu Dong with him or make her agree with his requests.      

At his words, everyone turned to look at Yu Dong who very calmly replied, " Who says that I don\'t? Didn\'t aunt buy some tools when she wanted to start an oil business?"      

"Aha!" Old man Tang who heard her response was immediately exhilarated, he was thinking about what to do when Yu Dong was refusing his requests but now that she has offered her head on the silver platter, how can he not stab her in the eye? " Those tools belong to your aunt, you are using those tools without asking her but you are not willing to pay us? This won\'t do!  Hand me at least eighty silver taels only then can you use those tools!"
