Many people expressed their gratitude to Lin Chaosheng after receiving the grain, but some harbored resentment.
"He's getting all the credit again. He thinks it's a big deal that he's given us such a small amount of food, and he even expects us to thank him."
"That's right, if he's so capable, why doesn't he let us have enough to eat every day!"
"Moreover, I heard that Lin Chaosheng found these things in the cave. Who knows if he embezzled them?"
Some people were complaining quietly, but Zhou Qi, who was looking for an opportunity to cause trouble, heard everything.
After he received the grain, he asked Village Chief Lü, "Village Chief, I have a question!"
Everyone looked at him, puzzled.
Village Chief Lü asked, "What's your problem?"
"I would like to ask if Lin Chaosheng discovered these things and immediately told you about them?"
Lin Chaosheng knew something was wrong as soon as he heard that, and I immediately understood that this person was here to cause trouble.
"Is there any need to ask? Didn't he tell me who he told right away?" Village Chief Lü asked curiously.
"That's hard to say, who knows if he has..." Zhou Qi's eyes darted around, but he didn't say it outright.
However, everyone present understood his meaning, and some people who already disliked Lin Chaosheng immediately chimed in, "That's right, Lin Chaosheng's family eats white flour and white rice every day. Who knows if they discovered these things a long time ago? Now that they feel guilty, they're telling you?"
"You fucking fart at me again?" Lin Shan's veins bulged with anger. "What the hell do you guys want? Every time there's something good, my older brother gets it to Village Chief Lü first and distributes it to everyone, and every time you guys cause trouble!"
Zhou Qi rolled his eyes. He had long disliked Lin Chaosheng. Before the famine, Lin Chaosheng was one of the most capable farmers in the village, and many women were eager to marry him. However, since the famine, his family's life had not been as good as before, and his wife complained every day. Especially after Lin Chaosheng became successful, she would compare him to Lin Chaosheng every day to criticize him.
After overhearing the villagers' suspicions about Lin Chaosheng, he immediately brought it up, wanting to drag Lin Chaosheng down with him.
“Lin Shansheng, you’re wrong about that. What do you mean we’re looking for trouble?” Zhou Qi looked at Lin Shansheng with his nose in the air. “It’s a famine year right now. Who knows if Lin Chaosheng has any food he’s hoarding?”
Seeing Zhou Qi's smug face, Lin Shan was so angry that he wanted to punch him, but Lin Chaosheng held him back.
"Brother!" Lin Shan glared angrily at Zhou Qi, "You can tolerate this? These ungrateful wretches!"
Village Chief Lü was also furious. Pointing at Zhou Qi, he shouted, "I think you guys are never going to stop! You did the same thing last time, and you're doing it again this time!"
"It's alright," Lin Chaosheng reassured Village Chief Lü and Lin Shansheng, then turned to Zhou Qi, "You need evidence, right? What if I produce it later?"
"Tch, so what if you take it out? I'll just kowtow and apologize to you right here." Zhou Qi looked at Lin Chaosheng with disdain.
"Alright, everyone here heard that, right? If I produce evidence in a moment, this person will kowtow and apologize to me!" Lin Chaosheng looked at everyone.
"Chaosheng, it's alright, we believe in you!"
"Who the hell believes him? If you're so capable, show everyone the evidence now!"
"Watch your mouth, or you'll end up kowtowing and apologizing to Lin Chaosheng with that beast in a bit!"
"Can you stop being Lin Chaosheng's dog? You want me to apologize? He'd better show me the evidence first!"
Lin Chaosheng quickly stopped the two who were about to fight, saying, "Stop arguing, I'll go get the evidence right now."
After saying that, he went to the casino to find Li Daniu. In fact, he had long anticipated this day would come, because there were always some restless people in the village, so he planned to produce evidence of every time he exchanged items with Li Daniu.
"Oh, Brother Chaosheng, what brings you here?" Li Qiaozhen happened to be directing her underlings to move goods at the casino entrance when she saw Lin Chaosheng walking into the casino.
"Sister Qiaozhen, I'm here to see Brother Da Niu."
Li Qiaozhen immediately noticed that Lin Chaosheng's expression was off, and followed him into the casino.
"Brother Chaosheng, what do you want to trade with me today?" Li Daniu was drinking tea when he saw Lin Chaosheng walk in.
"It's like this, Brother Niu, I'd like to ask you for the receipts for all the items we've been exchanging," Lin Chaosheng explained.
"Huh? What's going on? Why are they suddenly asking for a receipt?" Li Daniu's intuition told him that something must have happened.
Lin Chaosheng now considered Li Daniu one of his own, so he told Li Daniu the whole story.
Li Qiaozhen listened to the whole story with a serious expression, then shouted angrily, "Damn it, what kind of bastards are these?"
After hearing that Lin Chaosheng had been harassed, Li Daniu was about to lash out when he was startled by Li Qiaozhen.
"You wait, Brother Lin, I'll definitely take care of this for you!" Li Daniu instructed his underlings to go to the warehouse to get the receipts, preparing to go with Lin Chaosheng to meet those beasts.
Lin Chaosheng didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he refused to let Li Daniu go with him.
"Don't worry, I'm just bringing my brothers to support you. If those bastards don't attack you first, we won't make the first move," Li Daniu reassured him.
Lin Chaosheng thought about it and agreed. There were so many people on the other side, and they were all scoundrels. If a fight really broke out, he and Shansheng would definitely not be a match for them. So he agreed to let Li Daniu go with them.
Li Daniu called over a few of his brothers, preparing to set off with Lin Chaosheng, when Li Qiaozhen suddenly asked, "Is Lin Shansheng there too?"
Lin Chaosheng gave Li Qiaozhen a strange look. "Yes, what's up, Sister Qiaozhen?"
“Then I’ll go with you too,” Li Qiaozhen said seriously upon hearing this.
"Why?" Lin Chaosheng asked, puzzled. But Li Daniu knew the answer perfectly, so he pulled Li Qiaozhen along and said, "My sister has always been a champion of justice, so let her come along."
Lin Chaosheng didn't think much of it and set off with Li Daniu and the others.
A group of people stormed into the production brigade's gate. Zhou Qi immediately cowered, but still pretended to be tough, saying, "What? You want to fight?"
Lin Chaosheng threw the receipt in front of him, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? Take a look for yourself, this is all the evidence you wanted!"
Zhou Qi panicked immediately. He hadn't expected Lin Chaosheng to actually bring evidence, but he still comforted himself, "It's okay, it's okay. Who told this bastard to write it up himself?"
