Three days later, Li Mo led the team to set off. There were a total of 10 people going this time, 5 from the He family, 5 from the villagers, one horse carriage and two ox carts.

The horse carriage was a new one that Chen Chen asked Li Mo to buy, and the ox cart was bought with money from the villagers.

On the day of departure, all the villagers came to see us off, but everything that needed to be explained had already been explained, and the village also held a meeting, so no one said much and just drove off.

Chen Zhen looked at Li Mo's back as he left, and thought a little melancholy, if I wasn't still taking medicine to recuperate, this job would definitely not have been Brother Mo's turn.

He Jinshu, who was standing next to Shen Zhen, knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. So, without saying hello to everyone, he just put his arm around Shen Zhen's waist and spun him around. While leading him home, he said to him, "Ah Zhen, it's time for us to go home."

"Ashu, are the hawthorns in this mountain ripe again? Can they be picked again?" Chen Chen asked casually.

He Jinshu glanced at him and said, "They should be quite ripe now. I'll have the servants pick some this afternoon."

"I don't think the ones the servants picked are tasty."

"Whose fruit do you think tastes better?"

"I think if I do it myself, I can have enough food and clothing."

"Oh? Really?" He Jinshu said calmly, "So you mean you're planning to separate from me? You don't want me anymore?"

After hearing this, Chen Zhen immediately said, "Ashu, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" He Jinshu asked humbly.

I just want to go to the mountain to pick hawthorns, Chen Chen muttered softly. He Jinshu was getting stricter and stricter with him now, so he tried to get He Jinshu to take him to the mountain in a roundabout way, but he was intercepted halfway before he got halfway.

Although He Jinshu didn't hear what Chen Zhen was mumbling, he could probably guess what Chen Zhen was thinking. He Jinshu supported his waist and walked towards home, saying to him, "Didn't you want to eat cold noodles and barbecue before? I'll make them for you when we get home. You can eat more today."

When Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately said happily, "That's fine."

People with stomach discomfort should not eat too much cold noodles and barbecue. He Jinshu didn't know this at first, and Chen Chen took advantage of him not knowing about this and ate a lot of them.

Later, He Jinshu checked the information and banned it after knowing the situation. As a result, he had no barbecue and cold noodles to eat for a period of time, and he was almost dying of cravings.

So when Chen Zhen heard that He Jinshu could let him eat more, he was still very happy. Since he couldn't go to the mountain, it was nice to satisfy his mouth.

He Jinshu looked at Chen Zhen's happy smile, and couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his lips.

Just as the two were walking towards home, they heard someone calling him from behind. He Jinshu turned around and saw Village Chief Wu coming with a group of people. These were the people who had just been there to see them off, including Grandpa and Grandma He.

He Jinshu stopped when he saw this and asked, "Village Chief, is there something wrong?"

Village Chief Wu hesitated for a moment, then said to He Jinshu, "Mr. He, I know the rules can't be broken casually, but since they've come to me for help, I wanted to ask for your opinion so they can give up."

After saying that, he turned to Wu Laoshi and the others and said, "Go ask He Xiucai. If he agrees, I will agree. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing this, Wu Laoshi and his sons stepped forward, bowed and saluted He Jinshu and the others, and then said, "He Xiucai, Brother Shen, we were confused before and offended you. We are really sorry. Can you please forgive us again for the sake of being from the same village?"

If Wu Ergou's family had previously held an uncertain or disdainful attitude towards the profit sharing, then the profit sharing issued by the village before, plus the fact that people from the town kept coming to buy goods in the past two months, and more importantly, today the villagers themselves started to form caravans to sell the goods.

These things gave the Wu family a great stimulus. They realized that this business was not as small as they had imagined, and that their family had missed a very important opportunity to make a fortune.

So after discussing it, the family came directly to Village Chief Wu to apologize, and wanted Village Chief Wu to help them talk to see if they could get the forgiveness of He Jinshu and Shen Zhen and let them participate in the profit distribution again.

Village chief Wu was naturally unwilling to do so. Words spoken were like water spilled, and could not be taken back easily. If he easily forgave her this time, how would he manage the village and the vinegar business in the future?

What's more, Wu had scolded He Xiucai's husband before. Even if he could forgive her, it would depend on whether He Xiucai would forgive her.

Today, Wu Laoshi and his family begged in front of the villagers. They are all from the same village. As the village chief, he has to consider the overall situation and cannot be too drastic.

So the choice was given to He Jinshu. If He Jinshu could forgive them, then Village Chief Wu could also consider letting them rejoin the profit sharing.

If He Jinshu disagreed, then he would not agree either. After all, the business was brought to the village by He Xiucai and others, and he could not do such an ungrateful thing.

After listening to Wu Laoshi and the others' apology, He Jinshu said to them expressionlessly, "I understand. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

After saying that, he put his arm around Chen Zhen's waist and prepared to go home.

"Mr. He, wait a moment." Wu Laoshi spoke quickly when he saw that he was about to leave.

After He Jinshu stopped, he looked at He Jinshu nervously and asked, "He Xiucai, can you forgive us now? Then, can we also participate in the share of the village's profits?"

Upon hearing this, He Jinshu taunted, "You still want to share in the profits? Do you know what it is to casually ruin the reputation of a scholar? I haven't reported you to the authorities, which is already the greatest kindness I can offer you."

After saying that, He Jinshu continued, "Besides, this happened so long ago. Why are you apologizing now? What were you doing before? I'm afraid you were forced to apologize because you saw that there was money to be made, right?"

Wu Laoshi and his sons lowered their heads in silence after hearing what He Jinshu said. They did have a lucky mentality at the beginning, thinking that this business might really not be successful. Because Wu kept making noises and insulting them at home, they failed to apologize in time.

But sometimes, once missed, it is missed. Opportunities wait for no one. It is impossible for their family to make money with the villagers. They can only watch other families drink and eat meat while they can only eat coarse grains and vegetables.

He Jinshu didn't care what these people were thinking. After saying those words, he said hello to Village Chief Wu, then called Grandma He and Grandpa He, and helped Chen Chen go home together.

After they left, Village Chief Wu sighed and said to Wu Laoshi, "Laoshi, I told you before that you should take charge of your family, but you just wouldn't listen. If you were tougher, we wouldn't be in this situation now. You've delayed not only yourself, but also your sons."

After saying this, Village Chief Wu sighed again, shook his head and went home.
