Rural Farming: My Buildings Can Be Upgraded

Chapter 61: Chapter 60: One Bad Thing

After camouflaging the tracks on the mountain, Lin Feng cleaned up and headed back down. He planned to wait for a few rainy days before bringing people up to handle it.

Anyway, water usage downhill wasn’t very high at the moment. The excess water from the village Well could be directed into the reservoir, which would be enough to hold them over for a while.

When tourists came, only a small fraction of them drank the well water; most bought bottled mineral water.

This was mainly because the mineral water he sold was the same price as in a supermarket.

It was rather funny, actually. They wouldn’t drink the real spring water, but they’d buy it bottled.

When he got home, he found his father sitting under the gazebo with a long face.

"Dad, what’s wrong now?"

"It’s about the grapes. Both of your uncles called to ask about them."

Lin Feng was a little surprised. "My uncles know already? Just tell them what’s going on."

To be honest, ever since their grandparents passed away, the relatives rarely had a chance to get together.

They usually only gathered at their old home for a family event or during the New Year. The family ties had weakened considerably.

Of course, his father felt differently about it. He and his siblings had grown up together, just like Lin Feng and his own sister.

"I’ll just tell them that for now. We can talk more about it when they come back for the New Year."

After his father left, he walked toward the Arrow Tower to check on the renovation progress.

"BANG BANG BANG..."

"What do you mean you don’t have any? You’re running a store, but you don’t even have the product? It’s not like I don’t have money! Look, this is all money!"

Seeing a crowd gathered at the shop and hearing the commotion from within, Lin Feng quickened his pace.

"Excuse me, thank you. Let me through."

"Ah! The boss is here! Everyone, make way! Let the boss through."

The crowd of onlookers parted to form a path. When Lin Feng stepped inside, he saw several older women blocking the entrance to the shop.

"What’s going on?" He looked at He Hua inside and saw that she wasn’t hurt.

"Boss, you’re here. They want to buy Jade Grapes, but we don’t have any in the store. They’re insisting on buying them."

The heavyset woman at the counter heard that the boss had arrived and turned around. "Well now, the boss is here. What’s the deal with your store? Why aren’t you selling Jade Grapes? It’s not like I can’t afford them."

Lin Feng glanced at the stack of cash on her counter—about a thousand yuan. It seemed she had heard the news about the Jade Grapes and rushed over without getting all the details.

"Who told you that my shop sells Jade Grapes?"

"Huh? You don’t sell them? But isn’t this Lin Xian Village?"

"The Jade Grapes are in Lin Xian Village, but Lin Xian Village doesn’t sell them to the public."

The tourists visiting had been hearing about the Jade Grapes all day. They’d even looked up information online and heard numerous legends.

Honestly, the tourists were also very curious about the Jade Grapes. ’Could the effects of a single fruit really be that good?’

A tourist asked, "Boss Lin, are your Jade Grapes really that miraculous?"

"They’re just a bit more nutritious, that’s all."

At this point, Lin Feng couldn’t possibly promote them the way he did when he first started his stall. There were simply too few Jade Grapes.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The heavyset woman leading the group slammed her hand on the counter and roared, "I don’t care! I’m buying Jade Grapes today! My grandson is waiting to eat them!"

’I’ve seen unreasonable people like this in online videos, but I never thought I’d actually meet one in real life.’

A tourist watching the spectacle commented, "She says that ’I don’t care!’ with such conviction, as if she’s completely in the right."

"She’s probably gotten her way by throwing tantrums before. You have to admit, these aunties have some serious fighting power. She doesn’t look the least bit embarrassed."

"Let’s see how the boss handles this."

"We’re not selling them, and that’s final. Nothing you say will change that. If you keep causing trouble, I’m calling the police."

"Go ahead and call them. I *must* buy these grapes today."

An auntie beside her saw the situation and tried to persuade her, "Da Juan, they’re not selling. Let’s just forget it."

"Forget it? I came all this way. What right does he have not to sell to me?"

Lin Feng didn’t want to get tangled up with this kind of person. Arguing reason with her was pointless, so he called the police directly.

The officers had a post nearby, so they arrived quickly.

"Who called the police?"

"I did. Someone is causing a disturbance here."

"What disturbance? I came all this way to buy grapes! What right do you have not to sell to me?"

"Both of you, stop shouting. We’ll get an understanding of the situation."

The officers quickly found out what happened by talking to the tourists in the crowd.

"The shop doesn’t even sell grapes. What grapes are you trying to buy?"

"But the word all over the county is that there are Jade Grapes here."

"What does the word around the county have to do with whether or not they sell them?"

A tourist in the crowd chimed in, "By your logic, if you owned something and I found out about it, I could go to your house and you’d be forced to sell it to me."

"That’s just unbeatable logic. They have it, so if you show up, they have to sell it to you. Why don’t you try that at a museum? It’s full of antiques."

"Listen to yourself. Is that even a valid reason? They don’t sell Jade Grapes to the public here. Do you think you’re the only one who’s tried to buy them? Go on, ask around if anyone else managed to buy any."

"I don’t care, I don’t care, I just want to buy them!"

Seeing her act like this, the other women with her subconsciously took a couple of steps back.

They had come as a group after seeing a message in a parents’ chat group, but they really hadn’t known she had this kind of personality.

’This is so embarrassing. If we’d known she was like this, we definitely wouldn’t have come with her.’

’When we get back, we have to tell our kids not to play with her grandson.’

"If you continue to cause a disturbance, we’ll have to remove you by force."

"I’d like to see you try!"

The woman plopped herself on the ground, acting like a total hoodlum.

Lin Feng said to the two officers, "You should probably contact her children and have them come deal with this."

In this situation, it would be difficult for the two officers to take her away. Contacting her children would be easier.

"Alright, everyone, please don’t crowd around. Let the police handle it here."

"It’s fine, Boss! I thought it was a great show. If you have performances like this every day, I’ll definitely be back."

"Oh, you’re just being mean. If we had shows like this every day, our reputation would be in the gutter."

The two officers knew that using force would create a bad scene. Besides, they had been instructed before they came to be careful. They began asking the other women for contact information for the woman’s children so they could come handle it.

Lin Feng told He Hua to go back into the shop while he stood there to manage the situation. To be honest, people like this were truly difficult to deal with.

’It’s not like in a certain other country, where they’d really dare to empty a magazine in a situation like this.’

One of the other women walked over and said, "We’re so sorry. We didn’t know she was like this."

"It’s fine, it’s fine."

The women didn’t wait for her and just started walking away.

"Hey, where are you going? Don’t you want to buy grapes anymore?"

The women walked away even faster. ’When we get back,’ they thought, ’we have to tell everyone we know that you can’t associate with people like that.’

What Lin Feng didn’t expect was that instead of her children, a police car arrived.

Two men got out of the car and said to the officers already there, "Take her back to the station first. This is creating a bad image here."

"Yes, Captain."

The four officers moved forward at once. Ignoring her thrashing, rolling, and screaming, they lifted her up and carried her toward the police car.

The captain said to Lin Feng, "Boss Lin, if you have any more unreasonable people like this in the future, just give us a call directly."

"Okay."

’So this is the benefit of being on their radar,’ Lin Feng thought. ’When something happens, they handle it incredibly fast.’
