If someone said that, someone would immediately ask him, "Let alone Lijiapo, does our Wudahe Commune have the money to buy a tractor? If you think Lijiapo Brigade is so rich, you should be in charge. You don't need to buy anything else, just two more tractors!"

How dare you say such an outrageous thing!

Those who are cunning will naturally remain silent, but those who lack a bit of cunning will readily notice her!

Aunt Niu swung her arms, her momentum unstoppable!

He pushed through the crowd, pointed at Li Xiangdong, and asked Li Jin, "Captain, where did your son get so much money to buy a harvester? You didn't give it to him, did you?"

Li Jin was so angry he almost fell backwards.

Li Xiangdong's expression remained unchanged as he asked with a smile, "Aunt Niu, how's Niu Guang doing?"

Upon hearing the name Niu Guang, Aunt Niu snorted, "You've shown your concern! Our Niu Guang is perfectly fine! Some people are just wishful thinking; they're dreaming!"

Someone nearby whispered to Li Xiangdong that Niu Guang and Liu Baobao had been sentenced a few days ago. Niu's relative, a high-ranking official in the provincial capital, had personally intervened with the county authorities, and Niu Guang was only sentenced to three months of labor reform because the previous investigation was found to be untrue!

"Where's Liu Baobao?" Li Xiangdong pressed.

"Liu Baobao was sentenced to six months!"

Li Xiangdong's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Niu Guang's family had quite a powerful backer! No wonder Aunt Niu was acting so arrogantly again!

"Aunt Niu, if your Niu Guang had received a proper education from the country while he was in labor camp, he could have taught you the principles of being a good person when he came back!"

Li Xiangdong's expression suddenly turned serious. "What evidence do you have to accuse my father of misappropriating public funds for my use? Let me tell you, our country not only has the crime of hooliganism, but also the crime of defamation! If you continue to speak so recklessly, I don't mind sending you to your son's side to receive the country's education together!"

After these harsh words, some people with ulterior motives immediately felt a chill.

"Uncle Bo, are the income and expenditure of our brigade's money and food all made public every year?"

"Yes!" Wang Zhenbo walked up to the group carrying a stack of account books. "Anyone with doubts is welcome to look through the account books!"

The villagers chatted amongst themselves, and the crowd became noisy. Li Jin thought to himself, "That kid was right again! Some people really do suspect that he embezzled public funds!"

After waiting for a long time without anyone checking the accounts, Li Xiangdong said loudly, "To be honest, I paid one thousand yuan for these two machines!"

A buzz erupted from the crowd: "One thousand yuan!"

“But this thousand yuan was borrowed from an uncle. I once saved his wife, so after he heard about my idea, he lent me this thousand yuan!” Li Xiangdong continued.

"Now everyone understands! Although I bought this machine and I owe the bill, it's completely free for our brigade to use!"

Another round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd!

Li Song helped Li Wanshi up. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Just now they were thinking, "We didn't sign a division agreement with the eldest brother, so this doesn't count as a division of the family!"

Upon suddenly learning that Li Xiangdong actually owed a thousand yuan and was even offering to let everyone use the harvester for free, one wondered whether it was better to consider the family business as separate or not.
