"They were just talking about buying pine nuts, but they didn't really want to."
"But they're just trying to go against us."
Wu Fengshou was furious. These bastards were bullying him, and now they were even pulling out weapons.
To avoid accidentally hurting anyone, he quietly walked to the front, keeping his eyes fixed on the dark hole so that it wouldn't be pointed at the villagers.
Xu Zhenting looked at these cowards; all they did was flash a weapon, and they were so scared that they retreated a meter or two away.
Wu Fengshou is alright; he still dares to stand at the front.
"So what?" Xu Zhenting said with undisguised sarcasm.
At this moment, Zhang Fen, who was standing next to him, felt that it was inappropriate to admit it so readily, and he whispered a reminder in Xu Zhenting's ear:
"He's clearly setting a trap for you, you can't just agree to it, or people will talk."
The lackey that my uncle arranged to take care of him has actually turned around and is now lecturing me instead?
Xu Zhenting slapped him across the face with a crisp "smack."
"You think you can? Shut your stinking mouth."
Zhang Fen was so startled by the sudden slap that his eyes widened in surprise, one eye larger than the other.
Her lips twitched weakly a few times, but she could only swallow her shock and humiliation. After all, he was someone she had to please, his uncle.
"We don't care. You promised to buy as much as you could, and we've already peeled off the last three hundred jin!"
"You have to accept it if you agreed!"
The angry villagers couldn't help but reason with him, especially since Old Zhu was counting on the money he could get from exchanging the 300 jin of pine nuts to rebuild the leaky walls and roof.
My wife's illness just won't get better, probably because she's been exposed to cold drafts while sleeping at night.
"Oh, is this some kind of forced sale?" Jiang Ying, who had been silent until now, spoke up, her tone sarcastic, and she even shrugged and slightly shook her soft mink coat.
"What do you mean by forced sale? Don't slander me. We clearly agreed on this beforehand," Old Zhu muttered angrily, trying to suppress his rage.
"What was agreed upon? What was agreed upon?" Jiang Ying retorted.
"Is there a written agreement? How come we don't know what we agreed on?"
The villagers are well aware of how disgusting his behavior is.
This is not only going against the village chief, but also blatantly treating all the villagers as props to be played with.
Lin Mo glanced at her mink coat, which exuded an air of luxury and wealth.
Nine times out of ten, they probably did intend to accept it, but after receiving the money, they felt they wouldn't earn enough if they actually accepted it.
It would be better to keep the full amount in your own hands; that way, you'll have more money saved up.
He doesn't care if he doesn't accept it; he's not making a statement now because it was originally the village chief who wanted it.
Now we'll have to see what the village chief says. If the village chief refuses to accept it because of a grudge, then I can accept it myself.
Others may not know how many connections there are outside, but we do.
Although we haven't gone out to look for them yet.
Amidst the commotion, the villagers dared not make a move, because the other party actually had weapons.
The previous times Xu Zhenting and Jiang Ying came, they were beaten and even had excrement thrown at them. This time, they came to regain their dignity.
"Hmph, don't blame me in your hearts. Who told you to bully my woman?"
"You deserved to be played."
Upon hearing this, a strange sense of unease welled up in the villagers' stomachs.
So it was because of the feces-throwing incident?
We were all just watching the show and didn't stop them at all.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like it's only right that I was tricked?
This thought lingered in his mind, and the villager, who habitually reflected on his actions, felt that he was indeed at fault...
So they all went back to their original seats and continued watching TV.
The store gradually quieted down, as if nothing had happened.
Wu Fengshou hesitated whether to continue his plans, pondering that these good-for-nothings were still here.
How to propagate raspberries by cuttings is a secret of our village's wealth; we can't let them know.
So he turned to go home, planning to announce it to the villagers next time.
"Wu Fengshou, where are you going?"
Seeing the village chief turn to leave, Xu Zhenting actually called him back.
Just as the village chief was wondering why he was being called, a question mark appeared above his head.
Xu Zhenting smiled and continued speaking, his tone so deep and enigmatic, as if he possessed the ability to read minds:
"Weren't you going to mess around with raspberries? What, just because I'm here, you're not going to talk about it?"
"...?" Wu Fengshou was stunned. How did he know?
What's going on?
Before coming here, we only discussed this matter with Lin Mo.
"How did you know?" Wu Fengshou asked incredulously.
Xu Zhenting smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.
The village chief took a while to process what had happened over the past few days.
The raspberry project was arranged by my brother and coordinated by the higher-ups.
I heard that the Revolutionary Committee has been dissolved, and Liu Ming has actually become the deputy director above my brother.
Ah, I understand.
The village chief suddenly understood the situation.
It seems that my brother has been secretly watched by Liu Ming, otherwise Xu Zhenting wouldn't have known about this.
The villagers didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, and they all looked at them with their big, confused eyes.
Xu Zhenting said half-jokingly:
"What can't you say in front of people? What, is it something you can't stand to see in the light?"
Jiang Ying echoed the sarcastic tone, saying:
"You must have done something shady to be so cautious. You were the one who wanted to collect those pine nuts in the first place."
"We can take part of it for 1.5 yuan, but I heard you're only offering 1 yuan? Wow, what a convenient way you are to get things done..."
"How much kickback did you take?"
These words left the villagers both bewildered and intrigued.
