Chen Jianguo shook his head, then nodded: "Now the news has spread that the wheat in our village has sprouted and that you harvested it."
“People in other villages have had no harvest this year, and almost everything in the surrounding area has been affected. So... it’s a very serious problem.”
Chen Yifei raised an eyebrow, seeing how anxious his father and the village secretary were: "Have people from other villages come looking for you?"
"Hmm." Chen Jianguo didn't specify, because those people were angry and said a lot of insults.
They haven't come to find Chen Yifei yet; they're probably causing trouble at the commune.
"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down," a principle Chen Yifei always understood.
The reason why many people feel they are not suited to do business these days is because doing business leads to being reported by many envious people.
These are all within reason.
If there are any shortcomings, and the villagers or neighbors find out, they will report them without hesitation.
Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. If it were an ordinary person like Zheng Fang who was reported, they would only be detained for a few days before being released.
For Chen Yifei and his group, being imprisoned is a different story. At least, everyone else is eyeing the things around them.
If he's here, they might still come and snatch it; if he's not here, they'll just take it directly.
They're shameless.
They all appear open and honest on the surface, but who knows what kind of shady dealings they're doing underneath?
Chen Yifei had a very clear understanding of these people's situations.
I know it perfectly well.
The village party secretary said helplessly, "The main problem is that the brigade leader and I were not prepared. When they asked for information, we honestly told them everything."
“It’s not easy to lie about this,” Chen Yifei said. “They came to ask you questions, so they must have found out the truth. You can’t blame anyone for this; it’s all normal.”
"It's okay. I've already done it. People have to find out eventually. I did a good deed. Do you expect me to be bullied by others?"
He got on his bicycle and said, "Dad, Uncle, please watch the pigsty for me."
"If anyone from the meat processing plant comes, please help me receive them."
"I'm going to the commune to take a look now."
He was very curious; who would dare to cause trouble on his head?
Chen Yifei has caused quite a bit of trouble before; everyone in the surrounding villages knows him. He's like a little tyrant.
Now they've really made something of themselves; these people dare to come and cause trouble for Chen Yifei. Interesting, truly interesting.
I was already annoyed by my wife's behavior, but now I feel like I've found a good outlet for my frustrations.
He wandered around for a while and arrived at the commune, but hadn't gone inside yet.
Then I heard the sound of arguing, everyone talking at once, muttering and grumbling.
Upon closer inspection, everyone was chattering away, drooling. These people all seemed familiar; they were village secretaries and brigade leaders from nearby villages, now blocking the commune entrance.
Demanding an explanation:
"Director, Party Secretary! Can you do something about this? Chen Yifei has bought up all the pigs in the area. We just found out a little late, and now we're already missing out!"
"Is Chen Yifei deliberately bullying us? Everyone has so much sprouted wheat now, and we don't get any subsidies after it's harvested. We finally found out that Comrade Chen Yifei used it to feed pigs, and now the market is trying to open up. So they're taking this useless sprouted wheat and distributing it to each household."
"What? We saved up so many work points as a family, and then this little rascal Chen Yifei bought them all up! Who can we complain to?"
"If you ask me, we should get Chen Yifei to resolve our issues as soon as possible. If he can resolve the problems in Yongquan Village, why can't he resolve ours?"
"..."
Chen Yifei rode his bicycle straight into the crowd, too lazy to even get off. He stopped and braked in the middle of the crowd, and the few people who had gathered together quickly dispersed.
"How could you do this, kid..."
"I'm sorry, I did it on purpose."
Chen Yifei parked his bicycle here: "From what I've heard, everyone has a lot of opinions about me, so I'll just stay here and ask you whatever you want."
"They're all elders, uncles and such, so stop making trouble outside."
The commune clerk wiped his sweat and said, "That's right, can't we just talk things out? Do we have to make a scene?"
"Putting everything else aside, Chen Yifei has been buying piglets for so long. Back then, it was a cash-on-delivery transaction. He was supplying them to the meat processing plant. The farm had to go through a meeting before it was even opened."
"This has nothing to do with you, right?"
"And there's the sprouting wheat. Our whole area was soaked by the rain before, and we've already given all the subsidies we were entitled to. You can decide for yourselves how to reuse this stuff!"
"What kind of behavior is this? Just because others have good things and you don't, you think it's unfair?"
Why don't you mention how busy Chen Yifei has been lately?
It wasn't that the document was written in defense of Chen Yifei; it was simply the truth.
There are too many red-eyed monsters these days.
No matter what I say, he won't listen.
The group was still chattering away, saying, "Yeah, Chen Yifei is amazing. How could a small-time hoodlum like him come up with these ideas? Your commune must have leaked them to him beforehand."
"And those piglets, we can't raise them anymore. Doesn't your commune care about us?"
"We'll go directly to the county and city to petition then."
The clerk was extremely anxious and frustrated. He didn't know who had told them about this trivial matter, but he was considering petitioning and filing a complaint!
Petitioning... Chen Yifei thought that Wang Jianshe loved this trick!
It seems that petitioning is contagious.
