"And you guys, would you rather deal with someone who says, "I'll take care of this thing" but then doesn't keep his promise, or someone who tells the truth but always keeps his promise?"

"Village Chief Zhao, I still say the same thing. I will try my best to help you. I came here to help Hushan Village get rid of poverty and become prosperous. But if I can also help everyone live a good life at the same time, I will definitely do it. However, I really can't make you a promise now."

The thin monk was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, turned his head, and waved his hand, "Let him go!"

"Ah?" The villagers behind him were stunned!

"I said let him go!"

After the three villagers, who were beaten black and blue and in dishevel, were pushed back to the camp of Hushan Village, the thin monk looked at Huo Qianli and said, "Officer Huo, I hope you remember what I said today."

After saying this, he led his villagers away.

Huo Qianli turned around, glanced at the three listless villagers, and without saying a word, turned and left.

Gu Daqiang thought about it and didn't say anything. He followed.

The three men were stunned. They thought Huo Qianli or Gu Daqiang would scold them and they would just treat it as a bowl of wide noodles and let the matter go. They didn't expect that the two of them didn't say a word. This made them feel stuck.

Although they didn't understand the sayings like "there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart", they knew that if they were not even willing to scold, then things would be serious.

As they walked down the mountain, the three of them felt more and more upset, and their faces felt hotter and hotter.

Walking to the motorcycle at the foot of the mountain, watching Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang getting on their bikes and preparing to leave, the three of them finally couldn't help themselves. One villager said, "Village chief, we know we were wrong, why don't you scold us?"

Gu Daqiang didn't say anything and glanced at Huo Qianli. He knew that Huo Qianli must have a reason for doing this.

Huo Qianli looked at the three people and said calmly: "Then tell me where you went wrong?"

"We shouldn't be so heartless about the money that we have to do these ridiculous things!"

"Just forget about fighting with others. You shouldn't argue with others."

"We had a quarrel, but we shouldn't have used violence. We couldn't win even if we did. Please, Officer Huo, the village chief, and Brother Baoxing, come over. We know we were wrong!"

"No!" Huo Qianli shook his head.

He glanced from the three to the rest and said, "I like to speak the truth. Let's ask ourselves, is it wrong to feel bad about money? It's not easy to make money. Even big bosses should be frugal. What's more, for people like us, if we feel that we have spent too much money, it's totally fine to find ways to save money, right?"

The villagers were stunned. They didn't expect Huo Qianli to say this, but his words really touched their hearts and they nodded repeatedly.

"If you can come up with a better solution and save money, I will fully recognize and praise you! But..."

Huo Qianli changed the subject and said, "You have chosen the wrong path and used the wrong method."

"I won't say much about choosing the wrong road. It's just so stupid! It's embarrassing to tell anyone about it!"

"Using the wrong method means, what are we now? A cooperative! A cooperative is all about cooperation! If you have a good way to save money and reduce costs, you can inform Murakami. We will take a look and find that it can really save money. Each household can save tens of dollars, and the whole cooperative can save thousands of dollars! Murakami will not only not blame you, but will also reward you. Isn't it good to get a few hundred dollars for coming up with an idea?"

Everyone thought what he said made sense and their heads turned straight.

"But, you came up with a plan on your own and did it secretly. Whether the plan is good or not is another matter. This is a serious lack of organization and discipline! Think about it, why can a cooperative succeed? It is because everyone works together. If the cooperative is well run, everyone can make money! If you are like this, everyone has their own ideas. How can the cooperative be run well? If the cooperative is not run well, where will the money come from? Aren't you picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons? So, do you have any objection to being called stupid?"

"When the college students came, we played tug-of-war together. How did we win? We had to work together! I've said that now. Think about it carefully!"

Huo Qianli started the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Gu Daqiang glared at the three villagers in frustration, then glanced at the rest of the villagers, "Think carefully, join the cooperative, fight to make money, the cooperative will be good, everyone will be good, everyone, put away those crooked minds! I don't want to see it happen again!"

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away in a cool manner.

At the quiet foot of the mountain, a group of villagers were all lost in thought.

Only Gu Haitao had a bitter face, wanting to cry but without tears.

You guys can pretend all you want, but remember to take me with you when you leave!
