Chapter 433 It’s done, it’s done, it’s done!
Su Mei spoke out all the content related to reform that she could think of without reservation.
These topics aroused great interest among the county leaders who came to conduct the survey.
They listened with great interest and gave it high praise, saying that this was exactly what they wanted to know.
Coincidentally, when Du Erniang went to the town government to file a complaint, the county leader happened to be inspecting work in the town.
One of the purposes of this inspection is to explore whether restrictions on economic activities should be gradually relaxed to promote local development.
When they heard Du Erniang mention that the person who grew the medicinal herbs was Su Mei who had returned from Yanjing, they decided to go to the village in person to investigate.
Unexpectedly, this trip was really a good one. Su Mei's casual remarks greatly benefited several leaders, who felt like they had found a treasure.
This is also normal.
Although Su Mei's words were spoken casually, she was looking at things from the perspective of the future after all.
Many words spoken can naturally bring many new thoughts and new concepts.
The leaders' eyes sparkled after this conversation.
After the conversation, Su Mei politely invited the leaders to come down for dinner.
But the leaders refused, and a group of people stood up and prepared to leave.
They adhere to the code of public servants and do not take a single penny from the masses.
Eating is a wrong thing, no one dares to eat this meal casually.
Especially since they received the report from Su Mei's home.
Su Mei stood up and saw the leaders off with Huo Jianguo and Jiang Guangzong.
As soon as these leaders left the yard, the people outside the yard became excited.
"It's out, it's out!" Du Erniang was so excited that her buck teeth stretched to her ears.
"I said that the Su family is engaged in speculation and profiteering, and all of them should be arrested. Look, everyone, this family is going to be in big trouble."
Du Erniang was dumbfounded, watching Su Mei and the leaders walking out of the yard chatting and laughing, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"What...what's going on? Didn't they say they were going to catch them?" she muttered to herself, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Leader, why don't you arrest them? Aren't they profiteering?" Du Erniang couldn't hold back and rushed forward to question, looking unconvinced.
The leaders looked at each other, obviously surprised by this sudden question. "Oh, you mean Su Mei, it's thanks to your report that we have the opportunity to meet such a far-sighted young man."
A leader explained kindly that he had no idea that Du Erniang had any grudges against the Su family, he just thought Du Erniang was a member of the public who was keen to report the incident.
"Yes, there is a policy from above to gradually allow free trade!" Anyway, these things still need to be announced. Another leader directly said this.
"So not only will we not pursue what Su Mei did, we will also strongly support her."
Although Su Mei had already mentioned this matter a long time ago, hearing the local leader say it again in person still caused an uproar at the scene.
The villagers started talking about it.
Seeing this, the leaders struck while the iron was hot and announced in detail the new policy of reform and opening up.
They stressed that they would no longer pursue the so-called "speculation and profiteering" and encouraged everyone to find Su Mei for details about reform and opening up.
After giving a general introduction to the policy, the leaders took the torches prepared by the Su family and left Xiaogang Village.
After the leaders left, the villagers immediately surrounded Su Mei, vying to listen to her every word.
Her bad idea failed, and Du Erniang felt that the pain on her mouth and knees became more severe.
She wanted to take revenge on the Su family, but unexpectedly, this made Su Mei the center of attention in the village.
Seeing the villagers surrounding Su Mei wanting to learn about the latest policies, Du Erniang also wanted to get closer to the Su family's yard to listen.
But before she even stepped over the threshold, she was blocked outside by Su Mei's grandfather, Su Xuanju.
"Hmph, people like you don't deserve to be listened to, get away from me right now!" Su Xuanhu had a good temper. He had almost never blushed in front of anyone in his life, but at this moment he was very rude to Du Erniang.
It is obvious that he really hates Du Erniang.
Now Su Xuanhu is more confident when speaking, after all, there are so many leaders at home.
The leader announced the reform to the public, which really put Su Xuanju's heart at ease.
With confidence, you will have the energy and spirit to fight without mercy.
Du Erniang couldn't get any useful information and could only return home in shame.
Just as she reached her door, she was hit hard on the head by the sole of a shoe.
Her husband Yang Laosi sat on a bamboo lounge chair under the eaves with his arms and legs spread out, cursing in a sharp voice:
"You spendthrift woman, you can't do anything right. Didn't you say that the Su family was finished? How come nothing happened to them? Hurry up and cook, do you want to starve me to death?"
"Master, it's not that I can't do it well, it's mainly because the world changes so suddenly!" Du Erniang quickly told her husband everything she had heard at the Su family.
"Are you not going to crack down on speculators?" Yang Laosi suddenly sat up from the broken chair and asked:
"Are you sure it's not a mistake?"
"It's absolutely true." Du Erniang nodded quickly, "Otherwise, how could the Su family be completely safe?"
"There is such a thing." Yang Laosi narrowed his eyes, and then his sly eyes gleamed with brilliance:
"If this is true, then we can dig up those things buried in the ground and sell them. Wouldn't that make us rich?"
The things that Yang Laosi mentioned as being buried in the ground were the ones he had stolen from the landlord's house and buried in his early years under the slogan of "overthrowing the landlord".
Hearing Yang Laosi talking about those things, Du Erniang also became interested:
"Those are all good things. If we dig them out and sell them, we'll have money to build a house and find a wife for our son!"
The couple hit it off immediately and excitedly went to find a shovel to dig out the things buried in the ground.
"Haha, we've finally waited for this day! Those treasures are priceless. When I asked you to bury them, I knew this day would come. There are quite a few small yellow croakers in them, enough for us to make a fortune!" Du Erniang smiled widely while carrying a shovel.
Before they even dug anything out, they seemed to have seen themselves becoming rich overnight.
But they never expected that there are limits to policy relaxation.
Du Erniang did not have a comprehensive understanding of the policy and only had a partial understanding of it.
So she didn't know that selling antiques is still considered speculation and is a serious crime that can result in arrest and sentencing.
They used hoes to dig for treasures in the ground, immersed in the dream of getting rich.
Little did they know that they would soon face imprisonment.
In those days there was a very wealthy landlord in Dagang Village. When that landlord was overthrown, many villagers from all over the country went up to vent their anger.
Taking the opportunity to teach the landlord a lesson, Yang Laosi brought back a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
After using a hoe to dig out the box containing those things, Yang Laosi and Du Erniang couldn't help but kneel in front of the box and laugh out loud.
After hearing his parents' laughter, the couple's son Yang Shukai also ran out of the house into the bamboo forest in the backyard.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Yang Shukai also laughed loudly:
"It's fortune, fortune, fortune, I'm really going to make a fortune this time!"
