Liang Xiu frowned.
What's this guy up to now?
Cheng Hongwei continued, "Do you all know why I started with all the outsiders? It's because you don't trust me. The last few times I tried to improve the brigade, so many people reported me. Even my child has been ostracized by you. My lively and adorable little guy doesn't like to go out now."
I'm not leading everyone to make money this time to get revenge on you, but to show you that you can't get rich off a small plot of land, but you can starve. A lot of people aren't going to have enough to eat these days, are they?
As you've all seen, selling bean sprouts doesn't earn much, but it's enough to feed everyone a few meals. If the Qiao family is willing to sell bean sprouts, I'll act as a go-between, doing it in the name of the Qiao Family Brigade.
Cheng Hongwei's words resonated with the villagers.
After winter set in, the family didn't even have enough fabric to make cotton-padded clothes. They only ate one meal a day. Although they didn't have to work in winter, it was still unbearable after a while.
Liang Xiu stood straight opposite Cheng Hongwei.
The villagers dared not take any action.
They were worried that if they followed Cheng Hongwei, Captain Qiao would hold a grudge.
They would have no place to stand in Qiao Family Brigade from then on.
Cheng Hongwei wasn't in a hurry. He took his notebook and told anyone who wanted to continue sprouting bean sprouts to sign up with him.
The other outsiders happily signed up. The Qiao family brigade had always ostracized them, and even without the bean sprout incident, they would still have been ostracized. They never got any good jobs, but they were assigned dirty and tiring tasks like carrying manure.
They had long harbored resentment.
Now that there's a new way out, why not take advantage of it?
The man surnamed Qiao remained motionless.
Liang Xiu looked at Cheng Hongwei with a sneer. This was Qiao Family Village. Even if Cheng Hongwei had three heads and six arms, he couldn't overthrow Old Qiao's position.
I need to go to the commune tomorrow; we can't let Cheng Hongwei continue causing trouble.
Aunt Peach Blossom strolled over slowly. "Little Cheng, can my family sprout beans?"
Cheng Hongwei stared at Aunt Taohua in astonishment.
Why is Aunt Peach Blossom here?
Aunt Peach Blossom's father-in-law, Second Uncle, was one of the five elders of the Qiao Family Ancestral Hall.
If he participated, it would prove that Cheng Hongwei's actions were approved by the people surnamed Qiao.
Cheng Hongwei didn't expect her to come.
"Auntie, are you really going to sprout beans?" He hadn't expected it.
Aunt Peach thought he had reservations, so she smiled and said, "We have a large family, so please give us more money. Winter is coming and things won't be easy for us. With more money, we can buy some fabric to make new clothes for the children for the New Year."
“Good auntie, I’ll register you.” Cheng Hongwei filled in Aunt Peach Blossom’s name.
Aunt Peach Blossom retreated with a smile.
"Peach Blossom, does your father-in-law know you've come?" someone asked.
Without hesitation, Aunt Peach Blossom replied, "My father-in-law sent me."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Second Uncle was a mascot in Qiao Family Brigade.
Although he was not the patriarch or captain of the Qiao family brigade, he lived a long life, was fair and just, and had a high enough seniority to be respected by everyone.
He now has his daughter-in-law come to register.
Is it really possible to make money?
There's no risk involved?

Qiao Family
When Liang Xiu got home, she smashed a bunch of things and flew into a rage.
“That outsider Cheng Hongwei actually wants to take advantage of your illness to start a rebellion. Now even your second uncle is helping him. The Qiao family, who are on good terms with your second uncle, have already signed up. If you don’t do something soon, your position as the brigade leader will be in jeopardy!”
Qiao Sheng’s voice was full of energy, “Don’t be afraid. Tomorrow, I’ll have the second brother go to the commune. Without my stamp as the brigade leader, his behavior is that of a capitalist, and he’ll be in trouble.”
