The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the villagers hurriedly carried their loads of vegetables to Yu Chengyuan's house.
As usual, Yu Chengyuan sat there taking notes.
Seeing the long queue in the courtyard, a happy smile appeared on his face.
It seems the villagers all heard the broadcast and brought vegetables from their gardens.
The villagers all had happy smiles on their faces.
Chatting and laughing, Yu Dazhu was genuinely happy to see this scene before him.
His son has really made him proud, and now the villagers are getting closer and closer to his family.
Even the village chief became increasingly polite and hospitable towards their family.
The village chief stood by and watched to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
However, he was also happy, thinking that it wouldn't be long before their village was no longer one of the poorest villages in the entire county.
He no longer felt ashamed every time he went to a meeting in the county town, wishing he could disappear into a hole in the ground.
Hopefully, one day he can be praised by higher-level leaders as an outstanding village cadre.
Looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the villagers, he felt extremely gratified, as if he could see a bright future for the village in the not-too-distant future.
"Fellow villagers, line up one by one. Don't worry, Cheng Yuan will settle your bill on the spot."
Don't worry, everyone.
"Village chief, we believe in the second son of the Yu family."
"Hahaha………"
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy!
Yu Chengyuan knew that most of the villagers were simple and kind.
"Thank you for your trust in us brothers. Now we'll start harvesting the vegetables."
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
So the morning began with some busy work.
Yu Pingan stood aside, busy as a bee, carefully checking the quality of each vegetable while loudly announcing the numbers on the scale.
The village chief's son, Zhou Xiaoyu, helped with the weighing and kept arranging order.
The vegetables brought by the villagers were all fresh and tender, and it was obvious at a glance that they were freshly picked that morning.
Yu Chengyuan diligently kept the accounts and then readily paid the money.
The villagers in line behind finally felt relieved when they saw that those in front had their food weighed on the spot and paid.
One by one, they called out their names and weights, then took their money, all beaming with joy.
Everyone completely believed that the second son of the Yu family was serious and had not deceived them, and they were filled with gratitude towards the two Yu brothers.
The two brothers are truly working for the benefit of their fellow villagers and doing good deeds.
They are as simple and kind as their parents.
Old Mrs. Wang was truly blind. If she hadn't treated the first wife like that, perhaps she could have enjoyed her later years in peace.
They've really turned away any good fortune they could have received.
Every household that received the money sincerely said thank you.
After all, most of the leftover food at home can only be used to feed pigs and chickens, and can't be sold for money.
Now things are great; you can exchange your money for cash without even leaving home.
They never imagined that they could sell the vegetables they couldn't finish eating.
Even the eggs that you've painstakingly collected don't need to be sold at the market from afar.
Yu Chengyuan's price was no lower than that at the market, which really made things much easier for them.
After all, walking to the market would waste a whole morning, and there was no guarantee that the eggs would be sold.
Yu Sanzhu and his wife, who were standing in line at the back, looked at the scene in front of them and thought to themselves: This kid is really kind-hearted, selling vegetables for the villagers.
That's good, they can also benefit from it.
When it was finally their turn, the Yu brothers were stunned when they saw them.
The villagers were all surprised, secretly wondering how Yu Sanzhu and his wife had the nerve to show up.
Even the village chief and his son were surprised.
Before Cheng Yuan could speak, the village chief stepped forward, frowning, and asked, "Yu Sanzhu, what brings you two here?"
“Village chief, we also have a lot of vegetables at home. My wife said we can’t finish them all, and we don’t have many chickens or pigs at home, so we picked some to sell.”
Yu Sanzhu was still a little afraid of the village chief, Zhou Jianguo.
So his words carried a hint of ingratiation.
How many dishes do you have at home?
Aren't those vegetables all grown by Yu Dazhu and his wife before?
You probably don't even go to the fields ten times a year, right?
How dare you bring it over and sell it to someone else?
Have you no shame?
Zhou Jianguo thought that it was too thick-skinned for the couple to rely on this whole thing.
"Village chief, what are you saying? Haven't we already separated from Yu Dazhu?"
These vegetables are ours now, and of course we can do whatever we want with them!
Anyway, if we can't finish it, we'll just feed it to the pigs or let it rot in the field. We might as well sell it for a little money; at least we won't waste it.
Yu Sanzhu said with a grin.
"Since you can't finish it all, why didn't you give more to Dazhu and the others when you divided the family property?"
Would you rather let them rot in the ground?
Zhou Jianguo said with a sarcastic expression.
Li Hehua interrupted, saying, "Village chief, aren't you meddling too much?"
The vegetables are already ours, we can do with them however we want. Even if you are the village chief, you don't have the right to interfere, do you?
Besides, didn't you say on the broadcast that all villagers could participate?
Why can't we come?
We are villagers here too!
By obstructing us now, aren't you deliberately targeting us?
"Is this how a village chief should act?"
The village chief was so angry his face turned red: "How dare you?"
I used to cheat and shirk my duties a lot when I was earning work points!
