According to Lu Youxi, in this way, the village chief would not need to supervise much. In order to get the largest dividend possible, everyone would maintain the quality of their own rice and even work hard to improve it.

After the village chief finished speaking, he asked everyone to disperse.

Everyone went home happily, except Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen.

The two returned home with gloomy faces. Lu Youzhen asked unwillingly, "Mom, how much can Lu Youxi raise their prices? Can it really be higher than ours?"

"How would I know that!" Ge Guifen said irritably.

Originally, her own rice sold at a higher price than others, and she was happy about it.

But her happiness didn't last long, as everyone in the village raised their prices and earned more than her.

What’s more, other people also get year-end dividends, but she gets nothing even though they are growing the same crops.

"Mom, why don't we sell it to Lu Youxi?" Lu Youzhen advised, "Although I don't like Lu Youxi either, we can't go against money. Now let Lu Youxi make money for us, and we don't have to worry about anything. It's actually pretty good when we think about it."

Ge Guifen thought about it and said, "I'll go find the village chief."

She also couldn't just watch everyone in the village earn more than her.

This made her feel so unbalanced! Ge Guifen ran to the village chief's house and shouted at the gate: "Village chief, are you home?"

"I'm at home, what's the matter?" The village chief had just changed into loose clothes and walked into the yard.

"Village chief, I want to discuss the rice selling matter with you." Ge Guifen was thick-skinned. She didn't feel that it was unfair for her to sell rice to the factory alone before and lied to the village chief that she would continue to sell it to Lu Youxi. Now she came and mentioned the rice selling matter without batting an eyelid.

The village chief has seen a lot of the world as he has done business with people in the imperial capital.

He had seen people like Mr. Cheng who treated people differently based on their status.

I have also seen people as pragmatic and hard-working as Mr. Zhang.

I have also seen scum like Hu Xingwei.

Having dealt with many people in the imperial capital, the village chief may not be able to completely hide his emotions now, but he can still hide them in front of Ge Guifen.

"About selling rice?" The village chief knew Ge Guifen's intention, but he deliberately asked, "Do you still want to continue selling to the factory? It's okay."

"No." Ge Guifen laughed twice, "Village Chief, my cooperation with the factory is over."

The village chief sneered in his heart, thinking that Ge Guifen was quite good at flattering herself.

And her cooperation with the factory?

Cooperation is an equal approach.

Does the factory consider Ge Guifen as a partner?

"I was thinking that since my cooperation with the factory has ended, I can continue to sell rice to Lu Youxi." Ge Guifen rubbed her hands and laughed dryly, "Village Chief, you see... you still accept my rice, right?"

"Of course." The village chief was more straightforward than Ge Guifen expected, "As long as your rice is of good quality, we will definitely buy it."

Ge Guifen was surprised and delighted. She originally thought that the village chief would make things difficult for her before agreeing, or simply reject her.

In fact, she was already mentally prepared.

But I didn't expect the village chief to agree so readily.

The village chief once again admired Lu Youxi's judgment.

Lu Youxi told him yesterday that after Ge Guifen heard about the price increase here and the year-end dividend, she would definitely come to him and sell him rice again.

When the village chief first heard about it, he was a little unhappy. "I know that collecting Ge Guifen's rice can increase our supply of Hexing rice, but I feel depressed when I think about it."

Lu Youxi knew that the village chief knew the reason, but he thought Ge Guifen's behavior was disgusting and didn't want to let Ge Guifen get away with it.

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Who is Ge Guifen? Why should we care about her?"

"I'm just worried that she will change her mind later and delay our business," said the village chief.

"I've thought about it." Lu Youxi took out a stack of contracts from the file bag.

The village chief had already seen the document bag in Lu Youxi's hand, but he didn't expect it to contain this.

"The contract does not specify how much rice the villagers must pay, but it only stipulates that the rice in the next ten years can only be sold to us. If they breach the contract, they will have to pay us a huge amount of compensation," said Lu Youxi.

"We won't cheat the villagers, but we have to ensure our own interests. As our business grows, if one day the villagers are instigated by someone and stop selling rice to us, won't our company be in trouble?"

"If Ge Guifen wants to make money, then sign the contract." Lu Youxi said coldly, "If you sign the contract, you won't be afraid that she will regret it."

"You are right."

The village chief recalled his conversation with Lu Youxi. Because Lu Youxi had expected it, when Ge Guifen came, the village chief was not as angry as he was yesterday.

"Come in and let's talk in detail," said the village chief.

Ge Guifen thought that since everything had been agreed upon, she would just continue to give rice, so what else was there to discuss in detail?

I guess the village chief wants to give another warning.

Thinking so, Ge Guifen followed the village chief into the house.

When the village head's wife saw Ge Guifen, she didn't even say hello.

She was so annoyed with Ge Guifen that she didn't even want to pretend to be happy with her.

Ge Guifen curled her lips and wondered why the village head's wife was so noble.

Ge Guifen ignored her, pouted her lips and found a place to sit without waiting for the village chief to speak.

"Please wait a moment." The village chief said to Ge Guifen and went to the inner room.

He didn't even ask his wife to pour Ge Guifen a glass of water or make a cup of tea.

The village chief's wife also sat down casually and stared at Ge Guifen.

Ge Guifen pursed her lips in displeasure. Why was the village head's wife acting like she was on guard against thieves?

Not long after, the village chief came over with the contract.

He handed the contract to Ge Guifen, "Here is the contract, take a look and if you agree, sign it. After you sign it, we will collect your rice."

"Why is there still a contract?" Ge Guifen said dissatisfiedly.

"Not just you, but anyone in our village who wants to sell rice to us must sign this exclusive contract."

"Otherwise, you will want to sell the rice to other families later. Wouldn't that be a mess?" said the village chief. "We won't force you to sign this contract. If you are willing, then sign it."

"If I don't sign, you won't accept my rice?" Ge Guifen raised her hand unwillingly.

"That's right." The village chief nodded, "So you can think about it yourself. We won't force you to sell us your rice."
