Chapter 216 Linghu Village
When Bai Zhenfei woke up in the morning, he was still thinking about what Su Nanzhi said.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Is it possible that the enemy of my enemy can unify the world?
He could understand each word, but when they were put together, he had trouble understanding them.
While brushing his teeth, he couldn't help but ask Zhu Changsheng who was squatting beside him.
"Old Zhu, what did Sister Su mean by that yesterday? Talk to me about it."
Zhu Changsheng paused while brushing his teeth and said, "Even if I tell you, you won't understand."
In fact, he didn't quite understand what Su Nanzhi said yesterday.
But he could show his weakness in front of anyone else, but not in front of Bai Zhenfei.
Bai Zhenfei spat out the water in his mouth and looked at him speechlessly.
"If you don't understand, then you don't understand. Why are you pretending to be so?"
After saying that, he stood up and went back to his room. Anyway, he would know what Sister Su meant in the morning.
Zhu Changsheng followed Bai Zhenfei with a toothbrush in his mouth and was about to argue with him when a shout was heard outside the yard.
"It's time for a meeting. It's time for a meeting. Gather at the village entrance."
10 minutes later.
When Su Nanzhi and the other two arrived at the village entrance, the big banyan tree at the entrance was already full of villagers.
Lei Dashui was surrounded by everyone and asked if something had happened.
Lei Dashui didn't say anything until most people had arrived, then he picked up the loudspeaker and started talking.
The sound of the reed horn instantly drowned out the whispers of the crowd.
"I'll keep it short so as not to waste your time."
"Yesterday I heard from Xiao Su from the county tractor factory that they have a tractor for sale for just 1,800 yuan. I'd like to ask if anyone has any ideas?"
As soon as Lei Dashui said this, the crowd exploded again.
"Is our village really going to buy a tractor?"
“Does the village have so much money?”
"If it breaks and can't be repaired, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
…
Although there were many doubts, most villagers were still very happy that they could own a tractor.
In addition to these normal voices, there were also people who strongly opposed and even accused Lei Dashui of causing trouble.
"Lei Dashui, I think you're getting old and confused. You have capitalist tendencies yourself and you want to implicate everyone else."
"And if you say 1,800 yuan, it's 1,800 yuan. What if you and this Su collude and defraud the village of their money?"
The person who spoke was an old man with white hair, who looked about the same age as Lei Dashui. At this moment, the old man looked at Lei Dashui with contempt and disdain.
The old man's name is Lei Tiewa. When he was young, he competed with Lei Dashui for the position of village chief. Lei Dashui narrowly won by one vote and became the village chief of Lingshui Village.
Lei Tiewa did not think that he was inferior to Lei Dashui. He believed in his heart that Lei Dashui became the village chief because he bribed and flattered the villagers.
So wherever there are thunder and floods, there will be his voice of opposition.
Even if Lei Dashui said that the sun rises from the east, he could close his eyes and retort that the sun rises from the west.
Lei Dashui was used to Lei Tiewa contradicting him all the time, so when he heard his words, he didn't get angry but instead felt calm as if the dust had settled.
However, when Su Nanzhi heard that this matter involved herself, she naturally would not play dumb.
"Sir, your mouth isn't meant for you to talk nonsense."
"Give this 1,800 yuan directly to our tractor factory. If you think our tractor factory will collude with the village chief for 1,800 yuan, then report it."
Su Nanzhi had a serious look on her face, as if she would drag the old man to report if he continued to express doubts.
Lei Tiewa didn't expect Su Nanzhi's attitude to be so tough, and his face instantly looked a little ugly.
However, he would not report it as Su Nanzhi asked him to.
What if the matter gets out of hand and affects the village's evaluation of advanced status?
This is what makes him different from the hypocritical old man Lei Dashui. He always thinks about the village.
Thinking of this, Lei Tiewa raised his head with some pride.
"Wouldn't it be alright if we just didn't buy the tractor?"
"Buying a tractor requires money, and gasoline requires money and tickets. If you can't buy gasoline, the tractor will be nothing but a pile of scrap metal."
What Lei Tiewa said made sense, and the villagers immediately began whispering to each other.
Seeing this, Lei Tiewa raised his chin even higher.
Su Nanzhi was speechless, not knowing what he was so proud of.
"As long as you buy a tractor, we will solve your gasoline and maintenance problems."
Su Nanzhi's words made those who had already sided with Lei Tiewa hesitate again.
Lei Tiewa was about to speak when a child's voice suddenly rang out.
"Who among you works at the county tractor factory?"
The child's voice was a little sharp, cutting through the noise under the banyan tree, and everyone's eyes turned to the child who made the sound.
The child looked about eight or nine years old, with dark skin and eyes that rolled around, making him look very smart.
Despite being stared at by everyone, the child was not nervous. He even repeated it loudly again.
"Who among you is from the county?"
When the villagers saw the child, they began to talk about it.
"Kid, which village are you from? I haven't seen you in our Lingshui Village."
The child didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips and quietly took a step back.
Lei Tiewa was a little annoyed because the child's appearance disrupted the situation, and at this moment he couldn't help but look at the child.
After watching for a while, he said uncertainly, "This kid really looks like Kong Xiaoniu."
"Kong Xiaoniu looked like this when he was little. I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes."
As soon as these words were spoken, some older people immediately narrowed their eyes and looked at the child.
Although they were not on good terms with Linghu Village, Linghu Village was not far away from them, and they actually knew the village chief of Linghu Village, Kong Xiaoniu.
If Lei Tiewa hadn't said it, no one would have noticed. But now that he said it, people are starting to think the child looks more like Kong Xiaoniu.
The child turned pale when he was recognized.
"My grandfather said that if Comrade Su from the county tractor factory could help repair the tractor for our village, we would be very grateful to him."
After saying this, the child took advantage of everyone's inability to react and ran away.
Seeing the child running away, no one tried to catch him.
After all, the disaster will not affect women and children. Although they are not on good terms with Linghu Village, their hatred is not yet irreconcilable.
The child ran away, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to Su Nanzhi.
The only person who came to their village was Su Nanzhi, the tractor factory in the county. As for Bai Zhenfei and Zhu Changsheng, they were tacitly ignored by everyone.
Despite being stared at by so many people, Su Nanzhi remained calm without blushing or getting nervous.
"You should discuss whether to buy a tractor first."
"My colleagues and I went to Linghu Village to take a look."
