At the gate of the family compound, several villagers gathered at the door. They were planning to borrow food from the second brigade of Wujia Village because their crops were not good. However, they did not expect that the entire brigade had only kept one year's worth of food for themselves.
"Which village are you from?" Lin Zitao knew that Wu Yinghua had acted as a link and bought back the remaining food rations of the villagers.
"I am from the first brigade of Wujia Village. You have bought all the food of my relatives. What should we do if we want to borrow some food?" asked an old man in his fifties.
Liu Yunshan and Yunfeng came over first and stopped Wu Yinghua on the way, asking her not to show up and stay at home to avoid being gossiped about.
"After obtaining the consent of the Pigeon Committee, the captain of the second brigade allowed his family to purchase the villagers' excess food." Lin Zitao emphasized the last five words. They all acted according to the rules, and it would be the same no matter who was in charge.
The people blocking the door were stunned. The captain and the pigeon committee both agreed, and they could not find an excuse to ask for food.
The family members exchanged food with the villagers. The family members gave money to the villagers, and they borrowed food and took it away directly. The villagers did not want their food to be borrowed, so they tacitly agreed to the team leader's active exchange of food.
"Even if we can gain their consent, we should first seek the consent of the other villages. Now we don't have enough grain. What should we do if you buy grain?" These people will definitely not leave if they don't get any benefits.
Wu Yinghua rushed to her husband's office and called the village to ask Uncle Wu to prepare for the situation.
Su Jin and Lu Shiyi came to the door and heard noisy sounds outside.
"Wife, just watch from behind. Don't rush forward rashly. It would be bad if you get bumped into by others." Lu Shiyi held Su Jin tightly with his right hand and used his body to block her.
As it approached 6 o'clock, many units had finished get off work. When they passed by the family compound and saw the crowd gathered, they stopped to watch the excitement.
Lin Zitao and Lu Shiyi both came over, which was a signal to actively solve the problem.
These people are all lazy people in the village who only want to get food from their families.
"You are causing trouble again." Uncle Wu led the captains of several villages and hurried over. When the captain of the first captain and Zhang of the sixth captain saw this scene, they both felt a black screen in front of their eyes.
Several team leaders followed Uncle Wu. Su Jin had a good impression of Uncle Wu and did not interrupt much.
Uncle Wu did not ask Su Jin for help, but only apologized to Lin Zitao and Lu Shiyi. They failed to pay attention to the villagers in the village and caused a lot of trouble.
"Political Commissar Lin, I failed to properly control the villagers. These people were relatives of the team members, and the team members couldn't refuse to borrow the grain. We returned the grain to the families in advance. With the approval of the Pigeon Committee, the money and grain were settled, and there was no interference." Uncle Wu assured on the spot, "When I left, I specifically informed the Pigeon Committee about this matter, and they should be able to deal with it soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers who were surrounding the place were stunned. Uncle Wu reported it to the Pigeon Committee, and they would definitely be taken away soon.
"We are just asking for justice, how can we tell the Pigeon Committee?" The villagers backed off one after another, and some took advantage of the previous quarrel and immediately walked towards the village.
Su Jin looked at the people who were sneaking away in the distance. No one stopped them. When the three team leaders came, they had already written down their names and were waiting to settle the score with them when they returned.
"Village Chief Wu, I have also reported to the higher-ups that the family often exchanges food with you because of Yinghua's sister-in-law. The higher-ups have specially approved 500 kilograms of grain seeds for you." Lin Zitao originally wanted to inform Uncle Wu after a while, as they would have to wait a little longer to plant seeds.
The calculation in the eyes of the other two captains angered Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao, who mentioned it in public because of the military wives.
"That's right. The person Yinghua's sister-in-law found is reliable. Several sisters-in-law in the hospital are recovering well thanks to the help of the villagers during their postpartum confinement." Yunfeng agreed. "We are willing to exchange. If you guys are jealous, tell the pigeon committee in advance."
"Sister-in-law, don't go to these two brigades to exchange things. These two brigades are closer to the family compound. We also went there to exchange some things, but who would have thought that not only were the people shortchanged, but one-third of the eggs were rotten and inedible." Several sisters-in-law who had suffered losses immediately complained.
The two team leaders blushed with shame. They had warned the villagers at first, but the villagers only cared about the immediate interests and caused their families to go to the second team.
"The family members also said that they have exchanged food from the village. We don't want more. Just give each village 200 kilograms of grain seeds." The leading villager stared at Lin Zitao and said.
They didn't get anything, and it would be so embarrassing to go back like this.
"Go to the Pigeon Committee to accept investigation, or continue to pester here?" Lu Shiyi was too lazy to pay attention to them and gave two options.
Su Jin went to the village together in the afternoon. Wu Yinghua took her to several families who raised hens. While waiting to finish her confinement, Su Jin could directly order hens.
"You are our soldiers, you can't just ignore us and make us live." The villagers immediately cried. "If our families had to exchange things from every village, we wouldn't have come here. Who has money and wants to cause trouble?"
Su Jin stood beside Lu Shiyi and looked at several villagers with a sneer. When Wu Yinghua led her out of the village, these people went to the second team from other villages.
"She also bought a lot of food. All the food in the village has been bought by her family. If we have difficulties, you want us to starve to death." The villagers looked at the crowd blocking the door to watch the excitement, and no one paid any attention to them.
Because Su Jin's appearance was so outstanding, he remembered her after seeing her at the entrance of the village.
Su Jin crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the other person with her almond-shaped eyes.
"I bought grain. Didn't you enter the village early? I believe that if we trade the grain at a reasonable price, Uncle Wu should give it to you." Su Jin directly told everyone that she bought the grain at a reasonable price.
After the words were spoken, the villagers dared not say anything more. They just wanted to borrow some from their relatives and return it when they had surplus food.
"Sister-in-law is right. We are exchanging food at a reasonable price. You can go ahead and exchange if you want." When the military wives heard Su Jin's words, they all expressed their support for her.
Uncle Wu was grateful to the family members. Their few words were enough to persuade the others to give up the collection. They thought that Wu Yinghua was related to them, so they offered a high price.
"We are very satisfied with the cooperation between the two sides. The ingredients exchanged by the second team are all the best. At least there are not many rotten eggs." Several sisters-in-law have bought eggs from the two villages. Except for the second team, the others have quite a few rotten eggs.
The captains of the two brigades looked at the villagers in a stern manner: "These two villages are the closest. We gave you an opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. What will happen if you give the opportunity to others?"
The Pigeon Committee came in from outside the crowd, picked up several villagers who were causing trouble and took them away. The three team leaders found Lin Zitao.
"Political Commissar Lin, please give us a chance to collect all the things from the three villages." The captains of the other two brigades requested.
"We're not being taken advantage of," Liu Yunshan sneered. "It's not reliable to do things on your own. No one's money comes from the wind."
