As dawn breaks, the morning in Zizhu Village is bathed in the golden light of the rising sun.
As usual, Yu Chengyuan and his younger brother went to their yard early to buy vegetables from the villagers.
At this time of day, villagers would come one after another, carrying fresh vegetables they had grown themselves, to trade with the Yu brothers.
However, today is somewhat unusual.
Yu Chengyuan keenly noticed that there seemed to be about a third fewer villagers coming to sell vegetables than usual.
He didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that perhaps some villagers had gotten up late today and would arrive soon.
But as time ticked by, there was still no sign of the other villagers.
"Uncle Zhou, have you noticed that there seem to be fewer people today?"
"Are there no vegetables left to sell?"
Yu Chengyuan asked Zhou Jianguo, the village chief standing to the side.
"Yeah, I've noticed that too. There seem to be fewer people today than usual. Even if they got up late, it's impossible for them all to have gotten up late, right?"
Zhou Jianguo frowned and said.
"Second brother, don't worry. Maybe something happened at home that delayed you. Let's wait a bit longer."
Yu Dazhu tried to persuade him from the side.
"Something might really have come up; let's wait a bit longer!"
Yu Pingan also chimed in with his advice.
No, this isn't normal!
I have a feeling that something is about to happen.
Yu Chengyuan shook his head; this bad premonition was growing stronger.
Yu Chengyuan was full of doubts and was wondering what was going on when he saw Sister Chunyan, who had already finished selling vegetables and returned home, rushing over in a hurry.
Chunyan was panting heavily, her face full of anxiety. Before she could even stand up, she shouted, "Chengyuan, something bad has happened!"
There was a long queue at Yu Sanzhu's yard, all villagers from our village, each carrying vegetables and waiting to sell them!
Everyone was stunned when they heard that.
Yu Sanzhu and his wife have actually started harvesting vegetables too?
Upon hearing this, Yu Chengyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly made a decision.
"Dad, village chief, please help weigh the vegetables. Eldest cousin, fourth cousin, please help count them."
Uncle, Uncle, ride my bicycle back to the village now and bring over a truckload of vegetables as quickly as possible.
Send them directly to the county town; don't come to my house. I'll be waiting for you there.
My older brother and I are going to see what's going on with Yu Laosan.
Yu Chengyuan immediately began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
The eldest and second uncles nodded, and the second uncle rode away on his bicycle with the eldest uncle as a passenger.
"Alright, you two brothers go and see what's going on. Don't fight, talk things out."
Yu Dazhu gave his instructions.
"Yes, Father."
After exchanging a glance, the two brothers ran off towards Yu Sanzhu's house without saying a word.
When we arrived at Yu Sanzhu's courtyard, we found it bustling with activity. Villagers were lined up in long queues, but their expressions were somewhat complicated.
They were probably a little embarrassed when they saw the Yu brothers arrive!
Yu Sanzhu and his wife stood in the middle of the yard, looking smug. When they saw Yu Chengyuan and his brother arrive, their eyes were full of provocation.
Yu Sanzhu crossed his arms, glanced at the Yu Chengyuan brothers, and said slowly, "Oh dear, my two good nephews are here. You wouldn't happen to sell your vegetables to us just because you heard my wife and I harvesting them, would you?"
My husband and I aren't as heartless as you. If you have any vegetables, I'll take them.
Hahaha………"
Yu Sanzhu let out a triumphant laugh.
"Honey, we'll definitely accept your offer. We're not like some heartless ingrates. After all, you used to call me 'Auntie'."
Cheng Yuan, Ping An, I'll take whatever you two have.
However, the price is half that of the villagers.
Hahaha……"
After Li Hehua finished speaking, she burst into laughter.
"Yu Sanzhu, Li Hehua, even if we use our vegetables to feed the pigs, we would never sell them to you two."
By doing this, aren't you deliberately going against our family?
They can't stand to see our family doing well at all; they're truly vicious.
Yu Pingan said angrily.
These two are clearly trying to steal their business. I wonder who came up with this idea?
"Yu Ping'an, you're the vicious one! Your whole family is vicious!"
What nonsense are you spouting!
"Who says only you can do this vegetable business? Can't we?"
"Is it stipulated by the village chief?"
Don't think that just because your family has a good relationship with the village chief, you can have absolute power. He has no say in this matter.
Doing business is inherently free. Whoever has the ability can make money from your business, and no one else can make money.
Folks, do you agree with what I said?
Li Hehua shouted loudly.
Some villagers nodded, while others remained silent, but their silence signified their agreement.
"See? The villagers can sell their vegetables to whomever they want; it's none of your business."
Hahaha………"
Li Hehua laughed triumphantly.
Then he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, come and help quickly!"
What are you dawdling about? Don't you want to eat meat anymore?
Li Hehua then directed Yu Erzhu and his wife, who were standing nearby, to do their work.
Yang Juhua didn't move, but instead said slowly, "Third sister-in-law, none of the money you earn goes to our second branch of the family. I haven't had enough sleep yet!"
I'm going back to catch up on my sleep now!
"From now on, you don't need to wake us up for these kinds of things anymore."
He grabbed Yu Erzhu's arm, dragged him into the house, and slammed the door shut.
