"Chen Xin, didn't I give you the list? The list has the names of these two types of people on it?"
"Hey, why are you swearing at me like that!" Wang Yanli yelled at the top of her lungs.
"What do you mean by 'two ends'? Is that how you use words?!"
"Humanoid? Who are you calling human?!"
"You think you can get away with not paying by just swearing at me?!"
Wang Yanli, relying on her own sense of justice, spoke with great confidence.
Chen Xin, whose head was throbbing with annoyance, was becoming so socially awkward that he wanted to never interact with the villagers again. Why were they so annoying?
Simple things have to be made so complicated.
The reason Lin Mo gave him orders was that Hong Songren only made handicrafts for a limited number of households because he didn't want to deal with certain villagers.
He was disappointed in Chen Xin for not being able to handle such a small matter properly and even letting these people cause trouble at his home.
“I gave you the list before I left. The list clearly states that I only want the skinnings from those few households, and I don’t want the skinnings from anyone else on the list.”
"I don't want any of them."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanli and Wu Renyi were immediately dumbfounded.
Chen Xin also felt wronged:
"I really didn't send it to them, and I don't know where they got it from."
"Why won't you take what we peel?" Wu Renyi felt discriminated against, and he angrily shouted to demand justice.
"So our handmade goods are worthless? How can you discriminate against people like that?"
"Hehe, who discriminated against you? I didn't even want to look at you in the first place. Discrimination? You're really good at patting yourself on the back."
Lin Mo had no kind of attitude towards people who took every opportunity to gasp for breath.
Wang Yanli is definitely not one to suffer a loss:
"We're all from the same village, you've gone too far by doing this."
"We took these pine cones back to peel! You think we wanted to peel them? It was Miao Shouzhen's family who took them back and couldn't finish peeling them! They begged us to peel them for them!"
"What? Doing good deeds not only doesn't bring good fortune, but you also get struck by lightning, huh!"
Miao Qingsong, who happened to be watching the commotion outside the courtyard, was stunned when he heard this, and then turned around to look at his father, Miao Shouzheng.
When Miao Shouzhen heard her say that, he immediately became angry:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you stubbornly insist on staying at our house and taking some of our pine cones to peel?"
"Luckily we heard it here. If we hadn't, you would have been spreading rumors and falsely accusing people everywhere!"
Wang Yanli never expected that her nonsense would backfire so badly the next second.
She's always been shameless, so she doesn't care if she's exposed; all she cares about is money.
"I don't care, you have to give me my hard-earned money."
Wu Renyi also happened to hear that the Miao family could help Lin Mo peel pine nuts, so he went to Miao Fenfa's house and begged for more than a dozen sacks of nuts to take away.
After all, you get two yuan for peeling a pound of fruit, and you can peel it yourself in the cozy warmth of your own kang (heated brick bed), how great is that?
Unable to withstand their persistent pleading, the two Miao families were forced to separate.
As a result, he ended up pleasing neither side.
Lin Mo's initial thought was simple: he didn't want to deal with toxic people, which led to this situation—it was too annoying.
My mother has finally been able to enjoy a peaceful life at home, and he doesn't want any trouble to arise in our home.
It seems I wronged Chen Xin? I was a bit harsh in my tone when I spoke to him just now.
"Apologize to Chen Xin, and I'll settle your bill." Lin Mo put down the sack of money and picked out a bundle of bills from it.
Chen Xin was stunned upon hearing this, as he had just said he wouldn't accept it.
And now they're apologizing to us...
In all these years in the village, no one has ever cared about my face or self-esteem.
For a moment, Chen Xin felt a little touched.
"Why should we apologize to him..."
"No apology, no money! Even if you scream your lungs out, I won't give you a single penny!" Lin Mo shouted before Wang Yanli could finish her grumbling, shutting her down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I shouldn't have yelled at you just now, hehehe, sorry, sorry," Wu Renyi bowed slenderly to Chen Xin, his smile turning to Lin Mo the very next moment, his attitude completely perfunctory.
"Alright, alright, we've already apologized."
Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him, tossed a bundle of money to Chen Xin, and turned to go inside.
Chen Xin took the thick bundle of bills.
Wang Yanli's eyes widened in surprise, and her temper softened. She bowed and scraped repeatedly, apologizing to Chen Xin who was holding the money.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it's all a misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart."
...
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Mo wondered if he had gotten up early enough.
When they arrived at the large store, Carpenter Su and Aunt Su had already opened the door.
It wasn't to sell anything—there wasn't much for sale inside—but rather because villagers were already waiting outside so early to come and watch TV.
They had to come so early.
When Lin Mo arrived, the two rows of benches were not only full of people, but the stove was also already burning coal, making it very warm inside.
Lin Mo got up very early to hang a sign at the store entrance.
The sooner it's hung up, the sooner more villagers can see it.
After putting up the sign, he went home to count the pine nuts.
These past few days, the two childhood friends have been riding donkeys to transport red pine cones, and after bringing them back, they distribute them to several households to help peel.
They can shell about 100 jin of pine nuts a day, excluding the 300 jin of samples that have already been sold.
Today we can haul a total of 1,000 jin of pine nuts to Heihe to sell!
One thousand catties is...
Thirty thousand yuan!!!
The maximum weight a sidecar motorcycle can carry is a little over 1,000 kilograms; it can't carry any more than that.
