Chapter 125 Opportunity

This time, having brought Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan here and seen the grain, Wu Guizhi knew very well that it was no longer safe; Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan had their eyes on it, and she could no longer do anything about it. However, Wu Guizhi wasn't too worried about it.

Using this small amount of food to gain the temporary trust of Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan, thus preventing them from continuing to harass her, is still relatively advantageous for her.

Things have already escalated to that point; if she doesn't provide some food, these people probably won't let it go.

Fortunately, Wu Guizhi had made preparations in advance, storing the grain given to her by the Yuan family separately in a place known only to her.

Those places where she hid the grain were difficult for Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan to find. Even if they wanted to find the grain she had hidden elsewhere, it wouldn't be easy.

She had prepared for so long and arranged everything so that it wouldn't be easily discovered by Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan.

From the moment she received so much grain and other benefits from the Yuan family, Wu Guizhi had already made arrangements, leaving herself several options for the future.

Now, Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan are even more dissatisfied with her, but for the sake of food and to establish a relationship with the Yuan family, they will not easily deal with her.

Of course, she doesn't have any other obvious faults at the moment, so Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan will have to think of more reasons to deal with her.

As for her side, as long as she establishes a relationship with the Yuan family before they arrive in Pengning Town, handles the situation properly, and shifts all the blame for letting Lu Daquan's family go onto Lu Jiquan and his group, then she should be able to continue to obtain benefits from the Yuan family by relying on Yuan Yutong's secret.

In addition, by preventing Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan from meeting with the Yuan family and preventing them from finding an opportunity to replace her, she can continue to occupy these benefits and rely on the support of the Yuan family and Yuan Yutong to gain a foothold in Ningshui Village.

If that were the case, Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan wouldn't dare to do anything to her directly, as they would have to consider the reputation of the Yuan family and Yuan Yutong.

Even if Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan found the Yuan family before her and confronted them, Wu Guizhi still had some backup plans.

Yuan Yutong's incriminating evidence was the key to her negotiations with the Yuan family and the basis for her to continue to extract benefits from them.

As long as these incriminating evidence remain, she can continue to maintain the upper hand and protect her own interests in her contest with Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan.

Now that Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan understand her ill intentions, Wu Guizhi needs to find an opportunity to retaliate and make them suffer a loss so that they will stop thinking about replacing her and taking her benefits.

Having clearly assessed her situation and how to deal with it, Wu Guizhi gradually regained her composure and was no longer affected by the malice of Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan.

At this moment, Lü Jiquan looked at Wu Guizhi, somewhat surprised by her change in reaction.

However, knowing that Wu Guizhi would not give in so easily, Lü Jiquan took Wu Guizhi even more seriously. He would not easily take action against Wu Guizhi, but would strike her harder at the most opportune moment, so that Wu Guizhi could no longer act arrogantly in Ningshui Village and could no longer control them with grain.

Although they still harbored deep resentment towards Wu Guizhi, Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan maintained a facade of calm.

The food has arrived, and although it's not much, it's enough to sustain them for a while.

As long as they continue to keep an eye on Wu Guizhi and the Wu family, they might be able to gain even more if Wu Guizhi and the Wu family make any unusual moves.

Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan still couldn't believe that Wu Guizhi only had this little bit of food left.

Moreover, although they haven't found conclusive evidence yet, the fact that the Wu family is still doing so well and is so calm, not seeming to worry much about food, is truly unusual. They must have already obtained a considerable amount of food from Wu Guizhi.

If that's really the case, then as long as they keep an eye on Wu Guizhi and the Wu family, they should get results!

After they had all made their plans, Lü Jiquan and Lü Bowen exchanged a glance and nodded to each other. Lü Jiquan then turned to Wu Guizhi and said first, "Dahe's wife, now that some of the grain is still damaged, we are relieved. However, we can still manage and distribute this grain from now on."

“This grain is extremely important, as it concerns the life and death of the entire village. We are responsible for its distribution and handling, and we know the villagers better than anyone else, so we won’t make any mistakes in such an important matter.”

"Don't worry, we are in charge of managing this grain, and we will not treat you unfairly. We remember the benefits we promised you and will fulfill them."

Prior to this, they had promised Wu Guizhi that as long as Wu Guizhi handed over this grain, they would arrange for Lü Dahe to join the Lü clan's management circle, and in the future, he would have a higher status and position in the Lü clan and among the villagers of Ningshui Village.

They can make arrangements to give Lü Dahe more opportunities.

However, the extent to which she achieves this depends on Wu Guizhi's subsequent performance.

It seems that Wu Guizhi is still trying to outsmart them by not handing over all the grain, which is not very ethical.

Therefore, they would offer some discounts on what they promised Wu Guizhi.

Although he had already made up his mind, Lü Jiquan was in no hurry to show it.

Lü Dahe might be a good pawn for them to restrain Wu Guizhi, and they should try to make use of him.

After a pause, Lü Jiquan continued, "After we go back and discuss things with Dahe, we will consider having him come with us to handle clan affairs in the future, so that more people can recognize him and he can enter the Lü clan's management circle in the future, which will give him more face in the village."

"Dahe's wife, you and Dahe are both very capable. You will only have more and more opportunities in the future. We have high hopes for you both."

"Regarding this issue of food, although it is said that we are in charge, we will involve Dahe. You two will both be involved, and you will not be at a disadvantage."
