Could someone please explain to me what is happening in RttW, where the man who gave the narrator the corn seeds tries to attack him when he turns his back to go away?

Isn't it that the man believes that the corn seeds are being extorted from him? ᚹ

Could be, but he seemed surprised that only 6 seeds were being requested.
