"Uncle, long time no see, have you eaten yet?"
Zhao Wei greeted this person with good intentions.
Nowadays, isn’t the first thing people ask when they meet someone to ask if they have eaten enough?
He felt that his words were appropriate and polite.
Who would have thought that the other party's heart was as small as a needle tip, and his face immediately darkened, and he said hatefully: "You kid, are you deliberately making fun of me?"
"Heh... I'm so poor that I can barely make ends meet, and you're bringing up all sorts of issues. What do you mean by that?"
"Why? Do you want to come to my house for a free meal?"
…
Zhao Wei's face suddenly turned red after hearing his uncle's words.
He thought of some not-so-good past events.
That was the original owner's doing.
I went to many relatives to borrow money under various pretexts, just to drink.
This cousin's family was suffering from famine, and the original owner borrowed ten kilograms of grain from him, which has not been returned to this day.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wei wanted to hug the original owner and beat him up.
This person did so many disgusting things, but he let himself take the blame.
But he couldn't deny it and had no choice but to pay off the debt.
Zhao Wei got out of the car and said to him sincerely: "Uncle, I was ignorant in the past and hurt your feelings. I apologize to you."
"This is fifteen kilograms of food coupons. The extra five kilograms will be used as interest. Please keep it!"
Zhao Wei's straightforwardness made his cousin feel like he had seen a ghost.
Although he felt a little better, he still said unceremoniously: "Don't think that this is the end. Even if our family is poor and miserable, we don't want to have anything to do with your family in the future."
"Especially your grandmother... Tsk tsk... She's so sharp-tongued that it hurts my heart. How can she still treat me as a relative?"
…
Judging from his tone, he seems to be unaware of what has happened in the Zhao family these days.
Yes, it takes more than an hour to drive a horse between the two villages. Since there is no communication between them, the news is naturally blocked.
Zhao Wei was thinking about the fertilizer issue and was too lazy to explain so much to him, so he just said a few perfunctory words.
"Uncle, take your word for it. I'm busy delivering fertilizers, so I won't waste my time chatting with you!"
Zhao Wei jumped onto the carriage, shouted "Gee", and trotted away.
As my cousin looked at the food coupons in his hand, a smile appeared on his originally dry and thin face.
"That's great. With these grains, we can finally hold on until the day when grain is distributed."
He hurried to the town with his food coupons, not caring that it was almost four o'clock.
By the time he bought the food and carried it back, it would probably be dark.
These days, the roads are not necessarily safe.
In that wilderness, wild wolves occasionally appear, and vicious dogs are also common.
But he relied on the hoe he had with him, and two or three dogs could not hurt him.
…
Here, Zhao Wei delivered the fertilizer to Fengshou Commune and planned to hand over the supplies to the president there.
He never thought that the other party had actually attended training with him. At that time, the person who was most aggressive towards him was this person, named Lu Yong.
The main reason is that Zhao Wei is too young. Among a group of presidents in their forties, he is the only young man who stands out.
Furthermore, after taking the test on the great quotations, he won the first place and really stole the show.
I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this. It can be said that we are enemies that meet in a narrow road.
At this time, seeing Zhao Wei coming alone with 25 bags of fertilizer, they deliberately started to make things difficult for him.
"Tsk tsk... These fertilizers are not cheap. If we use a little less, it will be a collective loss. We can only confirm it after weighing it. President Zhao, do you have any objection?"
Although Zhao Wei felt that it was a bit fussy, seeing that the other party had to do this, even though he was anxious to go back to town, he could only endure it.
The results were somewhat surprising.
Each bag of these fertilizers weighs 50 kilograms. Zhao Wei saw it carefully when the agricultural supply company shipped them.
However, we don’t know what they did, as each bag is short of some weight, and the total missing weight is more than ten pounds.
Among these fertilizers, the cheapest ones are about 10 or 20 cents per pound, while the most expensive ones are 50 to 80 cents per pound. All together, they only cost three or five yuan.
"Tsk tsk... You can't judge a person by his appearance. I never thought that the president of Xiangyang Commune would embezzle these fertilizers. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid..."
Lu Yong said this with malicious intent, just wanting to characterize this incident as theft.
Tsk tsk... If he really succeeds, there will be no way for Zhao Wei to clear himself.
Not only is his position as president never stable, but the blame on him is much heavier than that on his uncle's.
Zhao Wei stepped forward and said in front of all the members of Harvest Commune: "I suspect that your President Lu is seeking revenge for personal gain. He wants to harm me!"
"Everyone, please bear witness. He insisted that I stole more than ten kilograms of these fertilizers. Now, I want to check this scale and weigh it again."
"But I don't know if Social Worker Lu dares to prove his innocence!"
After Zhao Wei made the matter clear, an embarrassed expression appeared on Lu Yong's face.
The scale was indeed tampered with.
But it is difficult for those who don’t understand the tricks to see through it.
He relied on this little trick to cut the food rations of countless people throughout the year.
If there was really something wrong with the scale at this time, the villagers would quickly realize what had happened to them and would probably run to his house and smash his pots and stoves.
Lu Yong felt the urgent pressure coming from the surrounding villagers, and his mind started working rapidly at the critical moment.
So, he said with a smile: "I just made a joke with President Zhao. Look, you all took it seriously. These fertilizers are of the correct weight. There is no shortage. You have all been misled by the accountant's trick."
"Hurry up and collect the fertilizer. It will be very useful tomorrow!"
After that, he said to Zhao Wei: "I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I hope I didn't scare you! Hahaha... We are like this in Wujiaping. We like to make jokes. Don't take it seriously!"
snort!
Zhao Wei smiled coldly, too lazy to expose this man's tricks.
It was at this time that the old man driving the carriage also came back. Zhao Wei did not want to get involved with them too much, so he got in the carriage and was about to leave.
However, after hearing about this, the old man specially caught up with Zhao Wei and brought him some horse fodder.
"I'm sorry to have made you run all this way and made you unhappy. These are worthless, so please don't despise them!"
The horse had been running all the way and was indeed hungry, so Zhao Wei did not refuse and decided to feed it when he got back.
Not far behind him, Lu Yong couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.
