"What's wrong? People who know you say you're the village chief, but people who don't might think you're Li Weidong's father!"
Snickers came from the crowd.
Li Baotian's face turned ashen with anger: "Nonsense! Do you even know how to grow mushrooms? You bring people here, and if they can't grow them, are you going to compensate for the losses?!"
