Chapter 53: The Yangtze River's Back Waves Push Forward

"Mr. Su! Thank you, thank you!" Old man Yang held Su Bucheng with tears in his eyes.

I am in my early sixties, old and frail, and cannot protect the village for too long.

Now, with a young and capable person like Su Langjun, the villagers will have successors and their lives will get better and better!

"Village chief, it's getting late, let's distribute the food quickly!" Su Bucheng saw the expectant eyes of the villagers and knew what everyone was thinking.

"Okay!" Village Chief Yang didn't hesitate and said to the village elders, "The Su family has contributed the most. How about giving them 100 kilograms of grain and 1 kilogram of salt?"

"It's our duty! It's our duty!" the village elders said in unison.

They didn't know what happened in the mountains. They only knew that the Su family made the greatest contribution to the wild boars, and they took people to the town and county to sell them for money to buy grain and salt. This distribution was very fair and just.

"Village chief, my family doesn't need so much, just half a bag! Half a pound of salt is enough, and the rest can be distributed to everyone! We didn't buy much food." Su Bucheng declined.

There are 32 households in the village. If each household takes one bag, there will only be 14 bags left, and each household will not even get 50 kilograms.

It is not justifiable to buy soy sauce and spices separately and then take up the majority of the bill.

"This..." Old man Yang didn't expect Su Bucheng to refuse.

"Village Chief, don't hesitate. My family didn't lose out! We all hunted together, and everyone contributed to selling and transporting the food. My Su family doesn't have that much power.

In the future, we will all work together to make money and live a good life!" Su Bucheng smiled.

"Mr. Su is kind and righteous!" Village chief Yang's confidence was even stronger.

"Mr. Su is kind and righteous!" The village elders were moved.

"Thank you, Mr. Su!" The villagers expressed their sincere gratitude!

"You're welcome, you're welcome! The Su family has just arrived, and we are able to stay here thanks to your care!" Su Bucheng raised his hand and bowed to everyone.

That night we arrived, the village chief brought people to deliver straw to spread on the ground.

On the second day, he brought people to repair the residence.

Because he wanted to go up the mountain to take a look, he helped to gather the strong men in the village to form a team.

The villagers treat them well. They cannot just take care of themselves when the benefits come. Who will come to help them in the future?

Su Bucheng took the initiative to open a bag of grain, divided out half of the bag, and took out half a pound of salt so that the village chief could proceed with the rest.

"I don't agree!" A dissenting voice emerged from the crowd.

The villagers thought the voice was unfamiliar, so they looked in the direction it came from and saw a girl of about thirteen or fourteen with a dark circle on her mouth. It was so dark that they couldn't tell what it was.

He looks pretty good, but his rolling eyes don't give people a good impression.

"Uncle, why are you like this? We drink porridge every day! And you are using food as a favor!" Su He, who came to join in the fun, was not happy when he heard this!

He cuts down on his own food rations as much as possible and comes here to act like the boss!

"He'er, shut up! Why are you here to join in the fun?" When Su Laoer heard his silly daughter's nonsense, he immediately felt unwell.

"Su He, I am the head of the Su family. It is not your turn to interfere!" Su Bucheng was displeased by his niece in public.

"This is not how you should be the head of the family. You don't care about our lives and pretend to be generous in public to gain fame! You are hypocritical!" Su He said righteously.

Anyway, she doesn't want to stay in this house for a single day. Except for her mother, no one cares about her or loves her.

Why should she please these people?

Su He's words made everyone present feel very uncomfortable, as if they had bullied the Su family.

The happy and joyful atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and everyone looked at each other. It turned out that this girl was from the Su family, and what she said made people feel very uncomfortable!

"Su He, first of all, the Su family is headed by my father, so we have to do whatever he says!

Secondly, this trip up the mountain was a collective action of the village. You didn’t contribute anything. How to distribute supplies was decided by the village chief and elders, and it has nothing to do with you!

Third, if you are dissatisfied with my father's decision, you can ask to leave the Su family, set up your own family, and be the master of your own house. You can do whatever you want! No one can control you! "

Su Ying looked at her disappointed cousin. She was already tired physically after a long day, and now she was even more exhausted mentally.

"Bah! Su Ying, don't think you're so great just because you went up the mountain! I have no right to speak, but you, from the eldest wife's family, have the right to speak? You want me to ask to leave the clan? Who do you think you are?" Su He cursed.

The villagers around her frowned and silently moved away from her.

This girl is not very smart and has a sharp tongue. It's bad luck to be associated with her.

"He'er, go! Stop embarrassing yourself here!" Su Laoer's face flushed red with embarrassment. He dragged Su He away from the crowd, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"What are you doing, you coward! You are not worthy to be my father! I don't have a father as cowardly as you!" Su He cursed loudly.

"Ahe! How do you talk to Aye like that!" Su Shiyan stepped forward to help his father take his troublesome sister away.

"Su Shiyan, you are also a coward! None of the male members of our second branch can take responsibility. You are a bunch of cowards who dare not even fart when being bullied!" Su He kept cursing, and his voice gradually faded away.

"I'm sorry for not managing my family well and disturbing all of you fellow villagers!" Su Bucheng bowed to everyone and apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay!" The villagers laughed.

The Su family took half a bag of rice and half a pound of salt and left first, and the village chief distributed the rest to the villagers.

It took less than half an hour to distribute all the things.

"You guys go back now. You've all worked hard today. Come to my house tomorrow morning and ask Mr. Su to come and discuss it in detail!" Old Man Yang said with a smile when he saw several village elders looking at him eagerly.

These old guys are still thinking about it and want to know what good news is going to happen.

"Old Yang, just tell me what the good news is? Otherwise I won't be able to sleep all night!" Old Zheng made a request.

"Hey, do you see these big jars? There are more than a dozen behind them. Let's do something big. At least we won't go hungry during the lean season!"

Old man Yang revealed some news.

"Really?" The village elders looked at each other in disbelief. "Old Yang, please stop teasing us!"

What good things can come out of this poor mountain valley?

Not going hungry is something I dream of!

"See! If I don't tell you, you can't sleep, and if I tell you, you won't believe me!" Old Man Yang said helplessly, "Go back, go back!"

"Old Yang, are you serious?" Old Zheng pulled Old Man Yang to confirm.

"What else? It's more cost-effective to buy grain than so many expensive water jars!" Old man Yang said calmly.

After hearing this, the village elders believed it.

Yes, one of these big water jars can be exchanged for dozens of kilograms of food. If it is not of great use, is there any need to buy so much?

The village elders went home dazed, one foot high and one foot low.

Old Man Yang stood at the gate, watching his old friends happily leave. He looked at the large water vat placed in the corner, and his nose felt sore.

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead! I am getting old, old!

Su Langjun has only been here a few days, and he's already brought so many surprises to everyone! He's a man of both ability and integrity, and a man of action!
