I didn't say it outright, which is already giving Uncle Yu face.
And these vegetables were originally grown by the eldest son and his family through hard work.
Isn't it inappropriate to sell it back to them now?
I was simply stating the facts and didn't take sides.
Yu Sanzhu's wife shouted at the top of her lungs, "Village chief, you can't just say things like that!"
Earning work points is something from so many years ago, why are you still bringing it up!
Today, we're selling these vegetables to those two brothers.
Why can these people sell, but we can't sell to Yu Dazhu's family?
Li Hehua's words were not entirely without reason. After the family split up, the belongings belonged to their family, and he did have the right to do whatever he wanted with them.
Furthermore, if we accept vegetables from the villagers, it would indeed be unfair not to accept vegetables from theirs.
Zhou Jianguo was at a loss, so angry that he couldn't speak, because he couldn't refute it either.
Not wanting to put the village chief in a difficult position, Yu Chengyuan quickly said, "Village chief, forget it, let them sell it!"
However, it has to be inspected just like everyone else's; anything that doesn't meet the standards can't be accepted.
"As long as their dishes are up to standard and meet my requirements, I will definitely accept them; I will never go back on my word."
Li Hehua was right about one thing: the village chief said he would collect from all the villagers, and since they are also villagers, he should collect from them.
Yu Chengyuan nodded to his elder brother and then said, "Brother, check the vegetables that Yu Sanzhu and the others brought over."
"OK."
Yu Pingan nodded.
He stepped forward and examined the vegetables carefully, but soon his brows furrowed, and he shook his head, saying, "These vegetables weren't harvested today, so I won't accept them!"
Li Hehua was unconvinced and shouted loudly, "It's from today! My husband and I got up at five o'clock this morning to pick vegetables. Yu Ping'an, how can you lie with your eyes open?"
She thought to herself that if she didn't admit it, then so be it; after all, no one saw them pick vegetables that afternoon.
It was already dark when we picked them, so we definitely couldn't see them.
The village chief pointed at the vegetables and scolded, "You're still lying! These were clearly not picked this morning!"
Everyone's not blind; they can see it at a glance.
The villagers gathered around to take a look and also criticized them, saying, "That's right, don't try to cheat us!"
Do you really think we can't see it?
"Yu Sanzhu, Li Hehua, open your eyes wide and look at our vegetables, then look at yours!"
Li Hehua started throwing a tantrum, refusing to admit anything, and even yelling, "You have no evidence, so why do you say that the vegetables in my house weren't picked this morning?"
Yu Chengyuan walked over, looked at the vegetables in their winnowing basket, pointed to the rotten end of the vegetable, and said unhurriedly, "The rotten part of this vegetable looks like it was picked yesterday."
Could the ones picked this morning really be like this?
Although the leaves are not wilted, some of the roots of this vegetable are rotten and curled up instead of straight.
This means you soaked the roots of the vegetables in water last night, which is why some of them rotted and warped.
"Bullshit, this proves nothing. The vegetables are so tender, and there are so many of them, it's not impossible for some of them to be crushed!"
"Yu Chengyuan, I think you're just deliberately making excuses to avoid taking our vegetables."
Li Hehua continued to argue, but Yu Sanzhu dared not say anything more.
"Li Hehua, you're really stubborn. Well then, I'll make you admit it."
Yu Chengyuan picked up a bunch of vegetables, smelled them, and then said to everyone, "Fellow villagers, you can pick up this vegetable and smell it."
It had a rotten smell, which was because the vegetables had been soaking in water overnight.
"Smell your food again; your food definitely won't have this smell."
The villagers quickly picked up their own vegetables and smelled them, then picked up Yu Sanzhu's vegetables and smelled them too, and they really did have a rotten smell.
Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that the couple's dishes did indeed have a unique flavor.
"Yu Sanzhu, what do you two have to say now?"
The village chief rebuked angrily.
Upon hearing this, the couple blushed deeply and were speechless. In the end, they could only sheepishly carry their vegetables home.
Li Hehua was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. The evidence was irrefutable, and there was no point in trying to argue.
