Bab 400: Chapter 0400: Reaping the Consequences 4_1

"If he were my brother, I wouldn't even give him a single head of cabbage, let alone dried sweet potatoes, corn cobs, cabbages, radishes, and beans!"

"Country folk are so straightforward and simple, didn't you hear old Li say that?"

"We need to be cautious of Wang Zhengjun. This man, he's no good. If he treats his own brother like this, how would he treat others? If he gets promoted, we, the ones who often compete with him, are done for!"

"Right, right, right, we can't let him get ahead. His wife is no better than him. Haven't you heard her sister-in-law complaining?"

"We can't ostracize him too openly, or else he will surely hold a grudge against us."
