Chapter 258 I won’t give it to anyone who asks me for it
"Young Master, do you want to chase him away?" Ji Fu whispered in Xiao Jiayuan's ear.
Xiao Jiayuan looked up and saw that he was sitting at the door. He said, "Let him go."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Jiayuan continued to record how much sugarcane each household had. Although it was only the next day, Xiao Jiayuan recorded it very carefully and skillfully, starting from the first light of dawn until the sun rose high in the sky. When school started, Xiao Jiayuan followed Xiao Jiachen and hurriedly ran towards the school!
"I haven't harvested my sugarcane yet!" Ma Laoliu looked at his running back, rolled over and got up, shouting at his back.
"I, I still have sugarcane here!" Ma Laoliu looked at his full cart of sugarcane, hundreds of kilograms of sugarcane, what should he do?
"Sixth Brother, what you did yesterday was a bit too much." Li Zheng Wang had just taken several children from the village to see Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang said that their children could go to school!
Wang Lizheng was in a particularly happy mood, but when he came back and saw Ma Laoliu's appearance, his mood suddenly became bad again.
"Wang, the head of the village, what are you talking about? You're the head of the village, but you didn't even pull me aside." Ma Laoliu was thinking about the sugarcane harvest in the county. He said, "If everyone's sugarcane hadn't been sold to the Xiao family, Brother Wang wouldn't have stopped harvesting sugarcane, and I wouldn't have been hurt!"
Ma Laoliu covered his neck. Fortunately, it was just a shallow scratch. If it was more serious, he would probably be lying on the door panel by now!
"Ma Laoliu, do you know what's good for you?" Wang Lizheng heard this and immediately frowned. "If the Xiao family didn't harvest sugarcane, would our village's sugarcane be sold for two cents a pound? We deliver it to the Xiao family so early in the morning, without interrupting our daytime work, and you expect to be paid right after we sell it?"
"You rotten sugarcane! Forget about the Xiao family! Brother Wang's place will only be stricter!" Li Zheng Wang looked at him with rage and said, "You should be a man with a clear conscience and stop messing around with useless things!"
He hasn't yet asked Ma Laoliu about the mango branches. If the villagers really follow Ma Laoliu in digging up sugarcane seedlings and planting mango branches, then he, as the village head, will probably have a headache again!
"Village head, Lord Wang, Brother Wang!" Ma Laoliu looked at Wang Lizheng and said, "Please help me again. I have so much sugarcane and I can't sell it. Isn't it bad for me? What should I do with all the sugarcane in the fields?"
Ma Laoliu was really anxious. Compared with the Wang family who collected sugarcane in the county, the Xiao family was obviously more profitable!
"Are you anxious now?" Li Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let alone the Xiao family, even the people in our village, you did that yesterday, and you still expect them to pay for your sugarcane today? They're not stupid."
"Don't say that! I can't sell my sugarcane. Let's just stop selling!" Ma Laoliu was so desperate that Wang Lizheng's mouth twitched in anger. He looked at Ma Laoliu, who was like a piece of meat on a rolling pin, and said, "You should admit your mistake to the Xiao family."
"Village head, I don't agree with what you said. Didn't I just admit my mistake to a little kid? He ignored me!" Ma Laoliu rolled his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, will the village head help me sell my sugarcane?"
“…”
Wang Lizheng said, "This one truck can be sold, but you still have several thousand pounds. How can I sell them? You'd better apologize to the Xiao family. If you can't do it once, do it twice!"
Lizheng Wang said as he took Ma Laoliu away and said, "They didn't say they won't accept it. They just said they'll accept other people's first. You should go home and work hard first."
"I'll wait a moment." Ma Laoliu looked around and said, "Village head, do you know anyone in this village who can tell fortunes? Yesterday, a woman with great strength told fortunes with remarkable accuracy. I need to ask her again to see if the Xiao family can buy my sugarcane!"
"Fortune-telling?" Lizheng Wang's eyebrows almost flew up, and he pulled Ma Laoliu away: "If you don't leave, you can't say for sure whether the Xiao family will accept your sugarcane in the future~!"
Is this guy crazy or mentally ill? If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Ma Laoliu won't know what trouble he's making. Wang Lizheng simply pushed Ma Laoliu's sugarcane away. He didn't care about anything else and just got rid of him first.
"Fortune teller? You?" Donggui looked at Hua Qing standing beside him.
Hua Qing put his hands on his hips and said smugly, "Of course you're talking about me. Otherwise, you can tell fortunes? What do you think? Am I accurate? Do you want me to tell you about your marriage?"
Donggui glanced at her coldly, turned around and ran away!
"Donggui, don't go. Let me tell you, my fortune-telling is really accurate. In the Hua clan, I will only tell fortunes for people if they ask me to do so!" Hua Qing said as he chased Donggui.
In the evening, when Xiao Jiuyue saw Xiao Jiayuan, she praised him for his good handling of the situation and said, "A man like Ma Laoliu was slapped in the face yesterday. If we still take his sugarcane today, everyone will follow suit, and then no one will take our words seriously!"
"Sister, it's all thanks to your teaching." Xiao Jiayuan smiled shyly. He was still worried about this matter when he was at school today. He asked, "Sister, what if he comes again tomorrow?"
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled up into a smile: "Maybe he will find a way to get the villagers to help sell sugarcane."
"Then, what should we do? Don't we have any way to deal with him?" Xiao Jiayuan frowned.
"Silly, come here." Xiao Jiuyue waved at Xiao Jiayuan and said a few words in Xiao Jiayuan's ear. Soon, Xiao Jiayuan's eyes lit up. The next day, Ma Laoliu came to sell sugarcane again and was still ranked last, but Ma Laoliu was not as anxious and angry as before.
"Li Zheng Wang's family has already harvested 1,100 kilograms of sugarcane."
"The Zhou Lin family harvested 980 kilograms of sugarcane."
Xiao Jiayuan's words echoed one by one, causing the people of Wanjia Village to panic. Shi Lizheng asked, "Third Young Master, what is this number?"
"Li Zheng Wang, there are 80,000 kilograms of sugarcane. There are 32 households in total, and each household needs 2,500 kilograms of sugarcane. I have to make a note of it." Xiao Jiayuan's words made the people in Wanjia Village panic. At first, everyone seemed to have signed for the minimum of 80,000 kilograms!
"Didn't you say that we would collect as much as we could?" Zhou Lin, who was standing closest, asked. Today, he was relying on a hundred kilograms of sugarcane from Ma Lao's family!
"We'll collect 80,000 kilograms first. If we need more, we'll continue collecting." Xiao Jiayuan replied with a straight face.
One word stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone looked at Ma Laoliu with eyes that something was wrong. If they sold 100 kilograms or 50 kilograms to Ma Laoliu, then they would sell 100 kilograms or 50 kilograms less!
"It's okay. You're still a long way from reaching 80,000 kilograms." Xiao Jiayuan said, "There's too much sugarcane now. It's tiring for you to run around every day. So, from now on, you can harvest sugarcane every other day!"
Xiao Jiayuan followed Xiao Jiuyue's method. The people of Wan'an Village were anxious and angry, but there was nothing they could do. Not all the sugarcanes in the field were ripe.
Wang Lizheng quietly pulled Shi Lizheng aside and asked worriedly, "Brother Shi, tell me, is it because we helped Ma Laoliu sell sugarcane that we offended the Xiao family?"
