Chapter 3222: Awaiting Fate
own life. Your father remembers you kneeling by your third brother's bedside, vowing to repay him. As brothers, your third brother didn't expect anything from you when he saved you back then. But tod...Yang Ruqing outwardly appears to be indifferent to Yang Zhenbang's actions, maintaining a detached stance.

But secretly, she planned to give this villainous and greedy businessman a lesson.
Just when everyone was facing another grain shortage, the transport team returned to the village.
Returning home laden with treasures, we brought back generations of premium rice.
Yang Ruqing announced that she would open a warehouse to sell grain in two days. The price of the grain would be based on the purchasing price that Zuo Junmo and his group paid in Hangzhou, with an appropriate adjustment for losses incurred along the way.
After all these calculations, the final price of rice is about twenty wen higher than before the famine.
At this price, compared to the exorbitant prices of rice in the shops in Qingshui Town, where it costs a day's wage per grain, it's practically giving it away for free.
Of course, the truly cheap rice is what Yang Zhengbang sells.
But now, even if Yang Zhenbang gave his rice away for free, the villagers in Changping Village wouldn't dare to buy it.

Because of this past experience, many people were cautious and watched from the sidelines when Yang Ruqing sold rice this time. They were afraid that they might spend their hard-earned silver earned by selling their fields only to have the rice end up in the manure pit.
Yang Ruqing had already considered this, so as soon as the rice entered the warehouse, she scooped out fifty jin and gave Wang Hongtao, Wang Hongquan brothers, Chang Geng, Big Bull, Baozhu, and several village elders each five jin of rice.
First, let the people in the village who are trustworthy and have a good reputation try these grains. After they eat them, let their results tell more people that Yang Ruoqing's rice is healthy rice.
The day before, she had delivered rice samples to a few families. The next morning, when Yang Ruohqing opened the door, villagers who came to buy rice had already lined up in a long queue...
When I'm sleeping, all I want is a pillow.
When it's cold, all you want is a charcoal brazier.
This is just a simple response.
For the villagers in Changping Village, Yang Ruohui is now playing the role of a savior who comes to their aid when they are most in need.
If everyone draws an acceptable price, they can buy a lot of white rice to take home and comfort the old people and children with the long-awaited rice soup.
Everyone is praising Yang Ruqing for being good, with fair prices. They aren't like the hoarders in town who charge exorbitant prices, nor are they like Yang Zhenbang, a truly unscrupulous person.
Everyone says that, as descendants of the Yang family, they are truly worlds apart. It's said that Yang Zhenbang wouldn't even be worthy of tying Yang Ruoqing's shoes!
Yang Huazhong and they were enthusiastically helping to weigh the rice, never shortchanging anyone, and even received praise from everyone.
A thousand kilograms of rice can support the villagers in these ten or eight surrounding villages for a good while. When they finish this supply, there will be more food shipments coming over.

This is all thanks to Zuo Junmo's efforts.
When he was handling this batch of grain, he made a long-term deal with the local merchants.
Next month, they will send grain over from there. The Fish and Rice Homeland has abundant grain. This year, other places have experienced drought and insect plagues, but the east has had good weather with a bountiful harvest.
After Yang Ruqing reassured her elders and fellow villagers, countless people once again felt gratitude and admiration for her. She once again conquered everyone with her abilities and integrity, making them ashamed of their previous distrust and lack of support.
Meanwhile, Yang Zhenbang's rice business began to suffer.
"Shopkeeper, these days the number of people buying our grain has noticeably decreased. A few days ago, when we went to those villages to sell, everyone was jostling and pushing to buy, but now hardly anyone even comes to ask."

A worried young man approached Yang Zhenbang, who was looking through the ledger.
"These people couldn't possibly be hungry, so I went to ask around. It turns out they all got food from somewhere else, and their grain stores are full. Their food is even better than ours, so they don't care about ours anymore."
"What" Yang Zhenbang raised an eyebrow, finally taking his eyes off the ledger.
"Is there anything cheaper than our food We're practically giving it away at rock-bottom prices!" he said.
The guy said, "It's more expensive than ours, but just looking at the rice, you can tell it's good quality."
"Good rice How much" Yang Zhenbang asked.
The grain stores in town sell good rice, but the price is exorbitant. These peasants from the village couldn't afford it even if they sold their children!

"It's not expensive, just a little pricier than ours, but the rice is really good." The clerk continued.

"The boy has just found out, the rice came from Changping Village!"
"Changping Village" Yang Zhenbang was surprised, he tugged at the large black mole on his chin.
Could it be that Yang Ruoqing, that dead girl, also managed to get rice
Hmph, they're just jealous that I'm making money selling rice and want to steal my business!
No matter how you try to compete, you can't win because my rice costs so low, it's beyond your imagination.
"Tell the other guys, tomorrow we'll be selling in Baiyan Town on the outskirts of Wanghai County. It's a bit further away from Changping Village." Yang Zhenbang said.
The fellow nodded and got to work.
At this time, Yang Zhenbang couldn't have imagined that selling spoiled rice in Baiyan Town, Wanghai County, was the biggest mistake he ever made.
Because Yang Ruqing had arranged for someone to wait there.

When Yang Zhenbang tried to sell his rice in a village under Baiyan Town, just as he had done before, several people wearing white mourning clothes suddenly rushed out of the crowd. They dashed onto the stage and pinned Yang Zhenbang to the ground.
They said Yang Zhenbang's rice killed people in their families, naming and shaming them, then they beat him up.
At the same time, in the villages where Yang Zhenbang had previously walked, villagers who had eaten poisoned rice and developed varying degrees of ailments, or their spouses, all rushed to Baiyan Town upon hearing the news. They seized Yang Zhenbang and directly delivered him to the yamen in望海 County.
County magistrate Zou Xianling had already received a letter of self-reproach from Yang Ruqing before this.
Once Yang Zhenbang is caught, his relationship with his family's relatives will inevitably be investigated.
Instead of incurring the displeasure of the County magistrate later on, it's better to demonstrate one's righteousness by taking a proactive approach. Write a letter clearly stating the reasons behind this matter.
To put it simply, it's reporting. Reporting is meritorious.
There's a saying that goes: "When a wall falls, everyone leans against it; when a drum breaks, everyone beats it."
As soon as news broke that Yang Zhenbang had been arrested for selling adulterated rice, all the people he had wronged in business came out to expose his wrongdoings.

All kinds of tax evasion, all kinds of scams and cheats...
Word got back to Changping Village that the family in Li's Village whose mother had just passed away immediately went to the county government office to file a complaint.
Little Yang was dumbfounded. Wasn't he supposed to keep it private when he accepted the forty taels of silver before Why is he making a fuss now
Little Yang became so angry and agitated that he fell ill.
At the courthouse in the county, Yang Zhenbang supposedly still tried to argue his case. However, with all the evidence – both witness testimonies and physical proof – against him, two of Yang Zhenbang's most trusted confidantes and assistants turned on him.
After beating Yang Zhenbang with a few boards, the magistrate of Zou County directly threw him into jail and awaited his judgment.ny other text!"Little Rain, don't cry, let's go take a look!"Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!Yang Ruoqing pulled Xiaoyu, and the two quickly ran into Xiaoyu's backyard.As...
