Chapter 215 Let’s Discuss

Hearing this, Lei Dashui immediately became anxious.

“Who said I won’t buy it?”

Seeing Su Nanzhi looking at him with sparkling eyes, he said unnaturally: "But I need to discuss it with the villagers first."

Su Nanzhi knew when to stop.

By the time we got off work, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Although the addition of the tractor greatly reduced the difficulty of the work, everyone was still very tired after a day's work.

Everyone picked up their belongings and headed home under the light of the torches.

Because she was thinking about coming to the fields to help the people in Lingshui Village tomorrow, Su Nanzhi didn't let Bai Zhenfei drive the tractor back and parked it in the fields.

Su Nanzhi and a few others walked among the villagers, listening to their conversation and occasionally interjecting a few words.

The topic of conversation also revolved around tractors.

"The tractor is great. It chugs along for half an hour, and our team will have to work in the fields for an hour."

"It's just that one tractor is a bit too few. It would be nice if we had two."

"Comrade Su is very kind to lend us his tractor for free, but you're still thinking of asking for two?"

Since everyone mentioned herself, Su Nanzhi naturally wanted to join in.

She raised her voice, making sure everyone in the widest area could hear her.

"Technology has liberated labor. One tractor can replace the work of several strong men. The time saved can be used for other things."

“It will also bring in additional revenue.”

"A tractor could be very useful during the three major harvests. I grew up in the countryside and saw how much our villagers suffered during the three major harvests. Since then, I have been determined to make it easier for my fellow villagers to farm, but..."

Having said that, Su Nanzhi sighed deeply.

A villager nearby said, "A tractor is an expensive gadget. Even if we sell all our people in the village, we still can't afford to buy one."

A dark light flashed in Su Nanzhi's eyes.

What the villager said was half true and half false.

Lingshui Village is not considered poor, and they can at least scrape together two thousand yuan.

But they are also poor, this poverty is not financial, but more spiritual.

The sense of unworthiness caused by their daily frugality makes them feel that they cannot afford some things that are not very common in life.

Now that things have come to this, if Su Nanzhi doesn't explain, it would be a waste of her entire afternoon chatting with the villagers.

"In other remote villages with poor conditions, even if the entire village pooled their money, they wouldn't be able to afford a tractor. But in our village, we can afford one if we grit our teeth."

"For example, the tractor we drove here only costs a little less than 2,000 yuan. Some wealthy families in our village can get a daughter-in-law by giving her three turns and one ring, right?"

When people heard Su Nanzhi say that it was a little less than 2,000, the people around them suddenly became restless.

In this era, this price is of course an astronomical figure for an individual, but it is not unaffordable for a village.

At least this price is far from the tens of thousands they imagined.

"2,000 yuan doesn't seem expensive, but this thing is just a waste of gas, right?"

Some villagers also quickly discovered the key.

Su Nanzhi laughed and said, "Even if you're plowing with oxen, you still have to make sure they're well fed. Now that you have a tractor, what's wrong with feeding it some gasoline?"

"After all, having a tractor is like having several able-bodied men at home."

Su Nanzhi's last words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

But after everyone laughed, they all became thoughtful.

Since the village can afford a tractor, why don't they buy one?

They've had enough of this damn three-grab.

After listening to what Su Nanzhi said, everyone started to surround Su Nanzhi and ask more about the tractor.

From tractor prices, colors, maintenance to how to become a tractor driver.

Since the question was about after-sales service, Su Nanzhi naturally answered everyone's questions actively and enthusiastically.

For a while, everyone saw Su Nanzhi as a kind-hearted young man who loved to help others.

It was not until they reached the village that everyone stopped chatting and went home.

Su Nanzhi stood at the door of Aunt Lei's house, watching everyone leave, then looked at Lei Dashui beside her with a smile.

"Grandpa Lei, you should ask the villagers for their opinions as soon as possible. Otherwise, opportunities will not wait for anyone. Many people will be vying for our tractor."

"We don't have many tractors left."

Zhu Changsheng, standing by, added with great tact: "Brother Su, this is the only one left. The other tractors that were previously sold at a low price have all been reserved by the factory for other communes and brigades."

A hint of nervousness flashed in Lei Dashui's eyes.

Just based on Su Nanzhi's brainwashing of the villagers tonight, if the villagers really want to buy a tractor but find that they have missed the opportunity to buy it at a low price, his family will probably be drowned in spit.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to settle accounts with Su Nanzhi, and hurriedly caught up with the crowd in front and went to discuss the meeting with everyone tomorrow morning.

Su Nanzhi looked at Lei Dashui's back, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

She glanced at Zhu Changsheng and Bai Zhenfei beside her and said, "We have a tough battle waiting for us tomorrow, everyone should go to bed early."

Bai Zhenfei was a little confused, "Sister Su, I see the village chief is very excited, why is there a tough battle tomorrow?"

Before Su Nanzhi could speak, Zhu Changsheng beside her said angrily, "Lingshui Village isn't the village chief's. Even if the village chief is interested, what's the point if the villagers don't want to?"

"Besides, the village chief is not a popular figure. He must have mortal enemies in the village."

Bai Zhenfei didn't expect that just selling a tractor would involve so many problems. His brows, which had not yet completely relaxed, frowned again.

It’s easier to repair the tractor.

Su Nanzhi gave Zhu Changsheng an appreciative look and said in a relaxed tone, "After the tough battle tomorrow morning, we will go to Linghu Village."

"The enemy of my enemy may be my friend, or it may be the unification of the world."
