Chapter 187 Taking advantage of the situation
In their previous understanding, parents are elders, and elders are more powerful than others. Even if they are wrong, they cannot have any dissatisfaction.
But the principles their mother taught them were different from other elders.
What my mother said is the most correct.
Gu Yiyi looked at Shen Changfeng and asked, "Changfeng, do you think what I said is right?"
Shen Changfeng's eyebrows gradually arched and he nodded with certainty.
"Madam is absolutely right. I feel at ease having you educate my children."
What Gu Yiyi said to educate Dabao and the others was heard in Shen Changfeng's heart every time.
At first, he was confused as to why a woman would have so many ideas, but the more he got along with her, the more he felt that Gu Yiyi's words to educate the children sometimes benefited him a lot.
His wife is a woman who understands etiquette and etiquette, and is also smart and valiant.
He has never seen a girl who fascinates him more than Gu Yiyi.
That's why no matter what happens in the future, he will never let go.

After the Lucheng warehouse was bombed, chaos broke out in the city the next day.
More and more officers and soldiers are coming in and out of the city, and the officials responsible for guarding the warehouses are going to surrounding towns to buy palm oil.
At the same time, more and more news came out, and there were even more people outside Lucheng.
At the beginning, they were all homeless people with no relatives. They heard that Lucheng was going to be burned down and thousands of innocent lives were going to be buried, so they hurried over.
Seeing that Lucheng was also sealed off from the outside world, I was even more certain that the news of burning the city was true.
Although they had nothing, their compassion made them unable to sit still and wait for death.
They gathered outside the city, prayed to the sky, shouted, and interceded for the innocent souls who were about to die in the city.
Looking at her crazy behavior, Gu Yiyi deeply felt the racial bond between her fellow civilians.
As a human being, I cannot watch so many people die.
On this day, Gu Yiyi and Mr. Mei stopped Master Zhang's carriage team outside the city.
This person's name is Zhang Yi, and he is the chief helmsman in charge of the warehouses in the city.
The warehouse was bombed, and he was so anxious that the only way to save his life was to buy palm oil immediately and burn Lucheng to the ground within the original time limit.
This way he can save his head.
But at the end of the day, there was no palm oil left in the surrounding towns, and the total amount sold publicly was not enough to fill a corner of the warehouse.
He had no choice but to find someone privately and go to some townspeople's homes to collect oil.
If he is blocked, he will be dealt with according to military law!
How dare civilians offend him for that little bit of palm oil.
The people at the bottom are suffering.
Now seeing that Gu Yiyi and Mr. Mei dared to stop his carriage, he felt angry and gave them a stern look.
"Who are you? Dare to block my way? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife?! Get out!"
Gu Yiyi's eyebrows moved slightly, thinking of how much money had been embezzled in the warehouse, Gu Yiyi didn't have a good look towards this comrade.
sneered.
"Master Zhang, are you sure you want to kill us? You have to think clearly. Without me, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect the palm oil."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi was shocked!
“You have palm oil??”
Gu Yiyi raised her chin and said calmly: "Of course, and I have whatever Mr. Zhang wants."
Zhang Yi obviously didn't believe it and started to snort: "Pretending in front of me, I think you are tired of living!! There is a shortage of palm oil now. How can you, a woman, have so many channels?"
"I don't have to explain my channels to you, as long as I can come up with what you want, okay?"
Zhang Yi is now forced into a desperate situation. Even though he doesn't believe in Gu Yiyi, he still has a glimmer of hope: "How do you prove that you have it?"
Gu Yiyi said calmly: "Master Zhang, take a look at this first."
She handed Zhang Yi a sales contract: "As long as Mr. Zhang is willing to buy at this price, I can deliver the goods ten miles outside the city gate tomorrow. Then you can pay a certain deposit to inspect the goods. No problem, just pay the full amount and you can move the goods at any time.”
Zhang Yi's eyes widened when he saw the price on the contract paper! He shouted angrily.
"You damn bitch, you're just sitting there raising the price! Who gave you the courage to sell it so high in front of me?"
This price is almost five times his usual purchase price.
All the money collected from the warehouse has been lost. How can I still get such a large amount of money to buy palm oil?
Gu Yiyi smiled slightly and remained calm.
"Master Zhang, I am just a profiteer. When doing business, I naturally have to take advantage of others, otherwise I won't make any money.
I know Mr. Zhang is in urgent need of palm oil. No, I have stocked up on it before. It will definitely be enough for Mr. Zhang. There is no such store after my village.
Of course, buying and selling depends on your own will. If Mr. Zhang is not willing, I will not force him. "
She folded up the contract paper and was about to leave when Zhang Yi suddenly pulled her over, the sharp tip of the knife already pressed against her throat.
"You have the guts, aren't you afraid that I will kill you!?"
Gu Yiyi was not afraid at all, she only gave Mr. Mei a calm look, stretched out her fingers to clamp the tip of the knife, and slowly pushed it away.
"Master Zhang, it is useless even if you kill me at this juncture. Only I know where my goods are. If you kill me, you will no longer have a channel to receive the goods. In this way, if Master Zhang feels The price is too expensive, how about I lower it by 10%?"
Zhang Yiqi's hands were trembling, and he wished he could kill Gu Yiyi right now.
But reason told him that he had no time. If he didn't collect palm oil as soon as possible and burn the city, and the superiors punished him, he would definitely lose his head and he would not be able to escape no matter what.
It’s not like he hasn’t thought about using other things to replace palm oil, but now that the epidemic is prevalent, other fuel-adding fuels are harder to obtain.
Without fuel, it is impossible to burn down a city with only firewood and thatch.
Lucheng is so big, and many people's homes are built with blue bricks, but wooden houses cannot easily catch fire.
The underground passage is so damp. Even if it kills people but doesn't burn down the city, there will definitely be endless troubles.
During his hesitation, Gu Yiyi interrupted his train of thought.
"Master Zhang, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Zhang Yi suddenly raised his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and stared at her: "The bombing of the warehouse in the city has something to do with you? It was you who stole the palm oil!!"
Hearing this, Gu Yiyi pretended to be scared.
"Master Zhang, this hat cannot be placed on my head.
How could I, a woman, be so capable of stealing so much of your palm oil in a blink of an eye? I heard that your entire warehouse of palm oil has disappeared. "
This is strange to say.
With such a big warehouse and so much palm oil, how could it be said that there is no shadow if there is no shadow?
The outside was heavily guarded, and so much palm oil was transferred silently, leaving not even a trace.
If he really disappeared, he might have seen a ghost! !
But he didn't have much time at the moment.
