Chapter 68 The Reasons We Must Make Money



"Village chief! We only have one rabbit, so we can't build a burrow for it."

"It's alright! We can just ask each other if they're male or female, and then they can pair up!"

"But this is a male, and even if it goes to your burrow, we'll still only have one rabbit."

Just as the excited villagers were arguing about the breeding issue, the village chief spoke up into the broken loudspeaker:

"For the next four days, we will hold a rabbit distribution meeting once a day until each household has five rabbits."

"Wow!!"

The moment the words were spoken, the uproar resumed.

"Are there five Mashiro characters?!"

"My God! Is this really true?!"

"Great! Great! There's hope!"

"Village chief, can we pick out the male and female animals tomorrow?"

"We only want females! We only want females! We already have one male!"

"We all want females!"

Amid the commotion, Chen Gang walked towards Wu Fengshou with a dark expression.

The man with the dark expression didn't even need to ask to know what he was going to do.

They simply came to take away the broken loudspeaker, berate everyone, and warn the village against speculation and profiteering.

Wu Fengshou watched Chen Gang approach step by step.

He spoke again:

"So that all the villagers in our Laoshu Village can become rich through hard work!"

"We discovered that the area in the northwest of our old tree village is full of Scots pine trees!"

"The pine cones of the pine tree can be peeled off and sold as pine nuts."

"Pine nuts can sell for one yuan per kilogram!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang immediately froze, halting his relentless advance.

One dollar?

If you can peel 30 jin, wouldn't that be 30 yuan?

That's equivalent to his annual income...

By the time he came to his senses, the villagers were in an uproar, their excited shouts almost deafening.

Before he was completely overwhelmed by the villagers, Wu Fengshou struggled to throw the broken loudspeaker at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo also saw Chen Gang coming over; his face was so black it looked like it was dripping kerosene.

"The Scots pine is easy to identify; it's the kind with dark blue needles."

"We can get it done now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers, who were so poor that the wind was blowing cold on their bottoms, no longer cared about drowning the village chief. They hurriedly grabbed their rabbits and ran away.

The scene instantly emptied out, with only a large number of people visible in the distance, running wildly into the distance.

It's like finding money lying in the distance.

Yeah, they really did go into the mountains to pick up money.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Wu Fengshou didn't want to deal with Chen Gang directly, so after finishing his business, he pulled Lin Mo away from the production team.

Go collect pine nuts!

"How many pine nuts are there today?" Wu Fengshou smacked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Then I'll leave the gravity scale at your place. I'll buy a new one from the county later."

"The gravity scale isn't cheap, it costs thirty yuan each, but we'll deduct thirty yuan from the bill when we pay later."

"..." Lin Mo cursed inwardly, "You stingy bastard! You have the nerve to offer thirty cents off an old scale, but oh well, I won't argue with you."

"Yesterday's total was 97 jin. If we add this morning's, it could be about 30 jin more? I don't know yet, I'll check when I get back."

"Wow! So many! Let's go! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Wang Sixin went with his parents to take the rabbits, and they haven't returned yet.

However, the three baskets they used to hold the pine nuts were already filled to the brim.

Pour out the pine nuts and weigh them.

Good heavens, those three peeled 35 jin (12.5 catties) in just one morning!

Fortunately, they found a quick way to peel it; otherwise, it would have taken the three of them five or six days to peel the thirty-pound fruit.

I thought the village chief was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, but it turned out he had a sack full of banknotes stuffed inside his coat.

70 per jin, 132 jin is...

9240!

The astonishing numbers made even Lin Mo nervous.

That's three times more than last time!

If I could gain 100 pounds every day...

That's 70,000 in ten days!

That's 210,000 in thirty days!

These days, no one even has ten thousand yuan a month! But today, our family is already a ten-thousand-yuan household!

The village chief stuck his head into the sack, only to discover it was unexpectedly heavy; he hadn't brought enough money.

"Load the stuff into the car first. Here's the amount. Take this first. If you need more, come with me to my house to get it."

The village chief gestured with three fingers, meaning he had brought three thousand yuan with him.

Lin Mo peeked into the pocket and saw that it was still bundled up.

One bundle contains one hundred sheets, so three thousand would be three bundles.

Lin Mo excitedly rubbed his hands together as he brought the burlap sack into the house and handed it to Xiao Hua, then followed the village chief to his home.

"The rabbit matter must be resolved within five days, otherwise things might get complicated."

"You promised this anyway, so you need to have a reason to justify it."

"I understand," Lin Mo replied indifferently.

But deep down he was thinking, it's normal for people to love money, and in order to make money, he was willing to take on the title of village chief and lead such a big operation in the village.

Wu Fengshou is over forty and approaching fifty; his thinking has long been entrenched, making it very difficult to change.

So Lin Mo vaguely felt that making money didn't seem to be the main motivation for him to change his mindset.

"Village chief, you're back."

Before he could figure it out, Lin Mo arrived at the village chief's house and heard someone talking to the village chief.

It was an old man, and he was still clutching the rabbit he had just received.

Lin Mo stared for a while before he remembered that the old man seemed to be one of the households at the end of the village.

The village is too remote; there used to be no residents there.
