Chapter 663: Tricking everyone?
"Fortunately, I was more careful and didn't plant trees," the man next to him said, "otherwise I would have wasted two harvests."
"That's right, Old Man Qian, I think you should cut down the tree. You can still plant some cabbage if you cut it down now. No matter how good the fruit trees are, you can't sell them for money, and your whole family can't just starve," someone else advised him.
Old Qian sighed heavily and took a few peaches from the basket to share with everyone.
If you can’t sell it, you might as well let everyone eat it and get a favor.
Several people took the peaches and spoke one after another, expressing their sympathy for Old Qiantou and offering him some advice.
Lin Yongqiang simply scolded the village chief. "I think this matter cannot be left like this. When the village chief called on everyone to plant peach trees through the loudspeaker, everyone responded to his call. Now we can't sell the peach trees we planted. We need to ask him to give us an explanation for this matter."
"Yes, Old Qian, go find the other families that grow peach trees. The village chief must give you an explanation for this matter. Don't be afraid. The people have sharp eyes. They will support you in this matter."
"That's right. The village chief's family is rich and can afford to lose. The rest of us are honest farmers. We can't let them cheat us for nothing..."
These people were talking to each other, and some of them even secretly called other people who were planting yellow peach trees, intending to go to the village chief together to seek explanation.
Lin Yongqiang stood behind the crowd with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
We need to talk this matter over with the village chief, and it would be best if we could also bring Lin Chuxia who is behind them into the discussion.
Why is the Sun family so arrogant in the village now?
In addition to the title of village chief, it was their chicken farm that made their two sons rich.
He had wondered before how they could suddenly raise so many chickens without anyone noticing.
Raising so many chickens is not a small amount of money. Besides, chickens are easy to raise, but how do you sell them when they grow up?
It was only after a long time that I found out that all the chickens raised by the two brothers were sent to the Xiayang Food Factory.
Lin Chuxia is obviously a member of their Lin family. He also has sons and daughters, but Lin Chuxia is not close to them. Instead, she is close to the brothers and sisters of the Sun family.
How have his son and daughter done anything wrong to her?
This time I will let her see how unreliable outsiders are.
While people were shouting here, someone noticed the village chief and his son driving a tractor into the village.
Lin Yongqiang immediately said, "Look at them, they grow so many yellow peaches, and they sell them all out every day. Maybe they have a way, but they just don't tell you."
These words were like a drop of water dripping into an frying pan, and everyone, regardless of whether they had peach trees at home or not, started talking about it.
They all knew that the village chief sometimes couldn't sell the peaches at home, but every time Sun Bingnan went out with peaches, he came back with an empty basket, and people saw it.
"Let's go ask the village chief."
Soon Sun Bingnan's tractor was surrounded by villagers.
Although the place was surrounded, no one spoke up to ask who would take the lead.
When Lin Yongqiang saw that these people were speechless again after seeing the village chief, he cursed them inwardly, saying that they were cowards and deserved to be cheated.
The village chief stood on the tractor and glanced at the villagers who had gathered around. It turned out that most of them were planting yellow peach trees, so he had an idea in his mind.
It just so happens that I have some good news to announce today, and since everyone is here, I might as well make everyone happy first.
But when his eyes fell on Lin Yongqiang, he swallowed what he was about to say and pretended to know nothing.
"Did you guys just come back from the fields? It's getting late, why don't you go back to eat?"
Everyone looked at the smiling face of the village chief and felt a little guilty.
Speaking of Sun Jianguo, he has been the leader of Daqingshan Village for more than ten years, and he always cares about the villagers.
Regarding planting peach trees, he had made it clear on the loudspeaker at the beginning and asked everyone to do it voluntarily.
It doesn’t seem appropriate to ask the village chief for help now that I can’t sell it.
Some people in the crowd began to retreat, and some even thought of accepting the loss.
So what if we go to the village chief? They grow more than any other family.
Lin Yongqiang knew from the look of things that these villagers were going to give in again, and he couldn't help but shout in the crowd.
"Village chief, are you going to sell peaches again? You can't ignore the villagers even though you sold the peaches for a good price. It was you who helped them plant the fruit trees. Now you don't help sell them. Aren't you cheating them?"
He spoke in a low voice in the crowd, but the village chief stood high and saw him at a glance.
This Lin Yongqiang has been causing trouble since the very beginning when he called on everyone to plant fruit trees. Today, it was fortunate that Chuxia solved this big problem for him, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could continue to be the village chief.
"Cheating everyone?" The village chief repeated this sentence and looked at other villagers, "Do you all think so? Would I, Sun Jianguo, do something to cheat everyone?"
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and no one wanted to be the first to stand out.
Lin Yongqiang cursed a bunch of rubbish inwardly, and then said, "Who dares to say what the village chief asked? Even if I dare not say it, isn't it obvious? When you called on everyone to plant yellow peach trees, I said that we don't recognize this peach locally. You can't push everyone into the fire pit just for your son. What's going on now? Has what I said come true? Ask Lao Qiantou to tell you, he has been selling these two baskets of peaches for a few days. If he can't sell them, they will rot at home. Isn't this cheating everyone?"
"Lin Yongqiang," Village Chief Sun pointed at Sun Yongqiang by name, "Ever since we started planting peaches, you've been trying to sow discord among the villagers, and now that the trees have just borne fruit, you've incited everyone to cut down the peach trees. I remember you didn't plant peaches, so why are you more anxious than those of us who do? What do you want to do?"
"I...what else can I do? I just feel bad seeing everyone's peaches rot in the field, and I'm afraid everyone will suffer."
Village Chief Sun sneered, "Since you care so much about us, how about I be the village chief for you?"
After he finished speaking, he looked directly at everyone and said, "The yellow peach saplings are a fine variety that my son brought back after several months of investigation. When I planted the fruit trees, I also asked for everyone's opinions, on a voluntary basis. Of course, I'm not saying this to stop caring about you all. I just want to remind everyone that when we do things, we can't just follow rumors and don't
In order to avoid being led astray by those with ulterior motives, we in Daqingshan Village must work together as one and pull together our efforts so that we can become rich together. ”
"It sounds good, but it won't sell after all the talk."
Lin Yongqiang muttered softly again in the crowd.
Village Chief Sun glanced at him and didn't argue with him anymore. He just said loudly, "Everyone's business is my business, Sun Jianguo. I've seen that your yellow peaches can't be sold at a good price. Today, my son San'er and I went to the market and have already negotiated with Xia Yang. From today on, you don't have to go to the market to sell peaches. The yellow peaches in the village will be purchased at 1 cent per pound. My son San'er will collect them for you. You can pick the peaches and hand them over to me directly in the next few days."
