"Yes, Weidong, we made a mistake, we're sorry. You're a good kid, you're magnanimous, so please don't hold it against us, okay?"
"Let's harvest our mushrooms too!"
"Wei Dong, you're capable. You can find a place to sell the mushrooms after you harvest them. If we keep them, they'll all be wasted!"
"Weidong, we're fellow villagers, please help us!"
Countless pleading eyes turned to Li Weidong.
Li Baotian also spoke up: "Weidong, to be honest, I'm really ashamed to talk to you about this, but I have no choice. You know I'm the village chief, and now that I've taken on this responsibility, I can't just ignore it."
"Everyone's been ruined by Hu Zi this year. We haven't been able to tend to our crops much. If we can't sell the mushrooms, we'll really be in trouble!"

Zhao Xiufen nodded quickly: "That's right, at least 50 cents a pound!"
While speaking, he also sought the approval of others: "Everyone agrees, right?"
No one dared to speak.
After all, Li Weidong is their only hope now. If they offend Li Weidong again, will the mushrooms really rot in the shed?
Li Baotian was furious: "You're not even from our village, and you want 50 cents a pound? I'll tell Weidong not to take your money and to go back to your village!"
After saying that, he turned to Li Weidong and said, "Weidong, what do you think about this... these mushrooms... are you going to buy them or not?"
