Chapter 93 Taking the Opportunity to Launch an Attack

Although he knew that Wu Guizhi was telling the truth, Lü Jiquan was still unconvinced.

In Ningshui Village, Wu Guizhi controlled the food supply, forcing so many villagers to rely on her for sustenance. This situation had long been a source of discontent for Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan.

However, given that the Yuan family had previously supported her, they wouldn't dare to take any drastic measures against Wu Guizhi. Instead, they instructed the villagers to cooperate with Wu Guizhi's actions as much as possible and continue to bully Lü Daquan's family.

Now, the Lü Daquan family has left Ningshui Village. They have also come to their senses and know that there must have been something wrong with how they handled the problem. But they are, after all, the clan leaders and elders of the Lü clan. When have they ever been allowed to be criticized by a woman like Lü Wushi?

Since Wu Guizhi got involved with the Yuan family and Yuan Yutong, she has become increasingly unruly in her behavior!

Thinking about all this, Lü Jiquan's mood wasn't very good either. He looked at Wu Guizhi and said coldly, "Even the ancestor has spoken personally. So many of us have personally experienced those things, so we must listen to the ancestor's instructions and have no choice but to let Lü Daquan and his family leave Ningshui Village."

"Even if we offend the Yuan family because of this, we dare not offend our ancestor, lest we disturb his peace."

"Since things have come to this, how to handle it next, how to maintain the relationship with the Yuan family, and how to continue to get more benefits from the Yuan family are matters for you to discuss with the Yuan family! Since you have taken on this task, then do it well and strive to bring more benefits to the village."

Having said all this, Lü Jiquan finally felt less aggrieved.

Wu Guizhi is merely Lü Dahe's wife, their junior, and a woman. It's inappropriate for her to show her face in public and deal with matters in this way, and to have such contact with the Yuan family!

Knowing full well about this problem, Wu Guizhi pretended not to know and was not prepared to hand the matter over to them or to Lü Dahe to handle, so that they could communicate and negotiate with the Yuan family. This is Wu Guizhi's fault.

In the eyes of Lü Jiquan and his group, Wu Guizhi's actions showed that she was no longer content with her lot and even wanted to seize power through the grain provided by the Yuan family!

A hen crowing at dawn is absolutely unacceptable!

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Guizhi was still quite useful, having obtained a considerable amount of grain from the Yuan family and helped Ningshui Village overcome several crises, they wouldn't have continued to indulge Wu Guizhi like this.

This time, Wu Guizhi spoke to them from such a high position, questioning their actions and complaining that they hadn't handled things well. They wouldn't tolerate Wu Guizhi's behavior any longer.

They should take this opportunity to have a serious talk with Wu Guizhi about the rules, so that she doesn't become too arrogant!

Noticing that Wu Guizhi's expression had changed, Lü Jiquan knew that his words this time must have triggered some of Wu Guizhi's plans and schemes.

Realizing that Wu Guizhi must have other tricks up her sleeve, Lü Jiquan thought for a moment and then continued, "Lü Wu Shi, since you have connections with the Yuan family, then you should handle this matter properly."

"No matter what method you use, you must consider the village, your family, and your clan. You still have to take the benefits that are rightfully yours!"

"Since the Yuan family has assigned you to handle these matters, I believe you will definitely have a way to persuade them."

Regardless of how things are ultimately handled, Wu Guizhi will have to pay a price this time!

These days, Wu Guizhi has been acting arrogantly in the village, thinking that she is the one who calls the shots, which has long made Lu Jiquan and Lu Bowen very dissatisfied.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lü Jiquan could finally handle what he had been wanting to do and see if he could take over Wu Guizhi's affairs and negotiate with the Yuan family himself. The benefits offered by the Yuan family would then go directly to them instead of going through Wu Guizhi.

Given Wu Guizhi's character and conduct, who knows how much of that grain she distributed secretly to support her family.

Unfortunately, they hadn't figured out the situation beforehand, so they didn't take much action and wasted many opportunities.

Now that there's an opportunity to deal with it, and with Lu Daquan's family having left Ningshui Village, they may have lost their most important bargaining chip. However, Lu Jiquan still hopes to wrest some power from Wu Guizhi and prevent her from continuing to act arrogantly in the village!

He had long disliked Wu Guizhi, and this was a perfect opportunity to seize some of the grain and power from her.

Seeing Wu Guizhi's expression grow increasingly grim, Lü Jiquan knew that his move this time was correct; it had already thrown Wu Guizhi off balance!

Since that's the case, he should continue his offensive, stop indulging Wu Guizhi, and try to extract more benefits from her.

Before Wu Guizhi could speak, Lü Jiquan continued, "If this causes us to fall out with the Yuan family and we really need to flee Ningshui Village, then there's nothing we can do about it."

"We are no match for the Yuan family. We have to back down and compromise when necessary."

"But before that, if you are not confident in handling the relationship with the Yuan family, you can entrust the matter to us. We will definitely do our best to handle the relationship with the Yuan family and continue to get their support."

"It all depends on whether you can handle this matter with all your might."

This is a very important matter. Lü Jiquan has made it very clear that he wants to make things more difficult for Wu Guizhi and take the opportunity to seize Wu Guizhi's resources and power, replacing her with them.

Wu Guizhi kept all of this very secret and even took care of the Wu family, but she was much more wary of them, which was unacceptable to Lü Jiquan and the others.

Taking this opportunity, some things need to be laid out on the table. We can't continue to be so confused and let them be taken advantage of.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Jiquan continued, "However, I remember you've already taken so much grain from the Yuan family. Do you still want to keep it all for yourself? Do you want to use that grain to control so many people in our village?"

"Mrs. Lü, some things are best left unsaid, lest you go too far and be unable to turn back!"

"Considering how much you've helped the village before, you'd better give us an explanation for this matter, so we don't continue to be kept in the dark and led by the nose by you!"

"Now that you've married into Ningshui Village, you'd better know what's important!"
