Volume 1 Chapter 282: Raising an Army to Investigate the Crime
Everyone in the village wanted to meet Li Tian's wife, so Li Tian asked Gu Ruoxi to come down. In fact, it was not him who asked her to come down, but Gu Ruoxi came down on her own initiative.
When they saw Gu Ruoxi, the originally noisy scene in front of the door suddenly became quiet. It was quiet for about four or five seconds. All the men and women in the village were stunned.
They had seen such a graceful, fair-skinned and beautiful woman before, but they had only seen her on TV and on their mobile phones. This was the first time they saw her in real life. Gu Ruoxi's beauty stunned everyone.
Li Tian introduced these elders one by one. Gu Ruoxi was like a young wife. Under Li Tian's introduction, she greeted the elders of Lijia Village.
Everyone praised her for being sweet-mouthed, pretty, well-behaved and sensible.
Li Qiudong clenched his fists with envy, thinking that if Gu Ruoxi was his wife, he would be willing to live ten years less.
He just couldn't understand. How could Gu Ruoxi like a good-for-nothing like Li Tian? Could it be that they were destined to be together when they were children? But when they were children, he had been very attentive to her. He showed his cartoon books to no one else but Gu Ruoxi. How could she not like him?
Fuck it, that's not fair!
He was already cursing in his heart.
After greeting the elders, Gu Ruoxi went back upstairs.
When Li Tian went up, she returned to her cold and aloof look.
"Have you really found a market for Lijia Village's citrus oranges? I checked and found that this year's citrus orange production is more than double that of last year. The market is extremely saturated and many fruit farmers who planted early oranges have suffered particularly severe losses. No one came to buy them and they all rotted in the fields."
Gu Ruoxi was very curious whether Li Tian had found a market for the oranges. Under such circumstances, finding a market for the oranges would indeed require some skill.
Li Tian nodded: "Yes, I found it. Although I haven't made a name for myself in Binhai, I still know some people after so many years."
Gu Ruoxi looked at Li Tian carefully.
“It’s pretty good.”
After praising Li Tian, she went back to her room to rest.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, people came to buy oranges.
Five large trucks arrived, and the villagers were busy working together to fill the five trucks as quickly as possible. The buyers settled the bill happily and took the oranges away, promising to come every day and take as many oranges as Lijia Village had.
At this point, the villagers finally felt relieved.
"Xiaotian is so capable. Now we don't have to worry about the oranges rotting on the trees."
"Who says it's not true? Among the younger generation, I think Xiaotian and Donggua are the best."
"Donggua is doing well and has money, Xiaotian is capable and knows a lot of people, and each has his own strengths."
"I think Donggua is not as good as Xiaotian. Xiaotian married Ruoxi as his wife. I heard that Ruoxi's family runs a company in Shangjing and is very powerful."
"Yes, did you see the car in front of Xiaotian's house? I recognize it. It's a Volvo brand and its price is not cheaper than Donggua's Mercedes-Benz."
The villagers were particularly grateful to Li Tian for finding such a good sales channel. They all spoke well of Li Tian and sent a lot of oranges to Li Tian's home.
This made Li Qiudong feel particularly uncomfortable, and he also wondered how Li Tianwo, a useless person, could find a market for the oranges in the village under such a difficult environment.
In the evening, Gu Ruoxi went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors of the Li family.
Because Li Tian found a market for the oranges, all the villagers came, beating drums and gongs and setting off firecrackers, making the party very lively.
By the time we finished the ceremony of paying homage to our ancestors, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
After returning home, Li Tian poured a glass of water and stood in front of the window.
The countryside is different from the city. It is already pitch black outside after nine o'clock in the evening. Apart from the chirping of insects, the whole village is quiet and peaceful.
At this moment, Li Tian had a feeling as if he was in another world, as if everything Binhai had experienced was just a dream. Opening a restaurant, destroying the Chen family, resisting the Shen family... everything seemed unreal at this moment.
It's like two different worlds!
That world was full of killing, intrigue and deception in the business world, and cruelty, just like a wonderful drama, but now it is just a return to ordinary real life.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, Li Tian jumped down from the second-floor window and, like a ghost in the night, began a carpet search of Lijia Village.
He had to make sure whether Phantom was still with his parents. If so, he would follow Fatty's advice and turn Phantom into Yang Guo. If not, Phantom would be lucky.
After searching around, I found nothing.
You won't get anything out of asking the villagers. The ghost is on the same level as Lao Fo. If he wants to hide his body, ordinary people won't be able to detect his existence at all.
Early the next morning.
Li Tian took Gu Ruoxi to offer tea to grandpa, grandma, father and mother. Gu Ruoxi changed her words and called them mom and dad, which made her parents panic and prepare red envelopes for Gu Ruoxi. This is a custom. If a daughter-in-law changes her words, she should give red envelopes.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
The whole village came again, but this time, they came with the intention of calling them to account.
When my father approached to inquire about the situation, Aunt Tao Xiu angrily said, "We can't talk to you. Ask Xiaotian to come out and we will ask him in person."
"Yes, ask Xiaotian to come out. How can he cheat people from his own village?"
"That's outrageous, considering I thanked him yesterday."
"He is also capable of cheating people from his own village."
The crowd was excited and everyone was extremely angry.
Hearing these sounds, Li Tian frowned.
Cheating the villagers’ money?
What the hell is going on.
He walked out confused.
"Xiaotian, you are so mean. You can't make much money outside, so you come back to make money from our hard-earned money and let the whole village work for you. You are so smart!" Aunt Tao Xiu immediately attacked Li Tian, spitting everywhere.
"Yes, that's not the way you do things."
"If it weren't for Donggua, we would have been kept in the dark by you."
"You must give us an explanation, otherwise this matter will not end!"
The villagers shouted loudly, wishing they could hang Li Tian up and beat him up.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Not to mention Xiaotian, even I don't know what you are talking about." Dad raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Donggua, you tell the story!" Aunt Tao Xiu glared at Li Tian angrily, and then asked Li Qiudong to explain the matter clearly.
Li Qiudong stood up and said loudly: "Li Tian found a market for our oranges, but he is not honest. I found out privately that the people who came to our village to buy our oranges yesterday bought our oranges for two yuan, but resold them to Binhai for three yuan."
"One dollar less, isn't it obvious that they are taking advantage of the villagers? One dollar less, for Uncle Zhong who has a production of 400,000 catties, is a difference of 400,000 yuan."
