"Exactly! How much is two jin of grain? Even in this freezing weather, I can earn 300 yuan a day! That's enough to buy over 100 jin of high-quality rice! You're ripping me off like crazy!"
…………
Some people fail to recognize reality, while others see the current situation clearly.
From the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped forward. He was wearing a thick cotton coat, and although his face looked tired, it exuded an aura of perseverance.
He looked at Chen Yu with neither arrogance nor servility and said, "Mr. Chen, I have a question I would like to ask you."

There was another group of people who still looked at Chen Yu with cold eyes, as if Chen Yu were their enemy.
A small group of people, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on those who had signed up for the labor, had already retreated to the back of the crowd, gathered together, and discussed something in hushed tones.
