This is how we have arranged it now. We will keep some of the cloth in our village and sell the rest to the supply and marketing cooperative, so that we can consume the excess cloth and contribute to the market supply. "Ye Li continued.
"Yes! Comrade Ye Li is right. I forgot just now that we sold it to the supply and marketing cooperative. This doesn't count as speculation, right? The supply and marketing cooperative bought clothes from our village. This sales channel is formal and legal." The village chief immediately followed suit when he understood Ye Li's idea.
"The delivery that the lady just mentioned is to supply goods to the supply and marketing cooperative. According to the agreement, the goods will be delivered soon."
Ye Li explained what had just happened to the staff, but the staff were skeptical.
"You said it was sold to the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes! Yes! I'll get it right away!" Upon hearing this, Guan Gensheng immediately stood up and went to get the receipt issued by the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, Guan Gensheng admired Ye Li very much. If Ye Li and Nie Fan had not reminded him to keep clear records of the clothes sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, they would definitely be at a loss now.
Guan Gensheng ran home and got a stack of bills and accounts and placed them on the staff's desk.
The staff member looked through the information brought over and took notes in a notebook.
...
...
Finally, after reading all the information that Guan Gensheng brought, the village chief asked carefully, "Leader, how is it? These accounts record all the cloth we have woven, as well as the amount of money invested by everyone in the village and the amount of cloth they have received. And the receipts for the remaining cloth sold to the supply and marketing cooperative. Everything is recorded clearly."
"Yeah, that's true. Then it seems that what you are doing can't be considered speculation..." One of the staff members frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"Yes! We didn't disrupt the market order, did we? You see, the machine was made by our comrade Jiang Xun using scrap iron. The cotton for weaving the cloth was grown by our village, and if it wasn't enough, we purchased it from outside. Everything is in compliance with the regulations. There is nothing illegal."
"But this is the evidence you produced. It doesn't mean there are no other accounts in private." The leading staff member closed the notebook and crossed his arms. He looked difficult to deal with.
"The chicken is ready! Village chief, when are we going to eat?" Sanwang pushed the door open and asked.
"Let's eat now! Bring me a few bottles of liquor, and let's have a few drinks with the leader!"
"No! Forget about drinking." The staff immediately stopped Sanwang from getting the wine.
At this time, many villagers gathered outside the yard of the village brigade. They all heard that someone was coming to investigate their village, so they all gathered together.
"Fellow villagers, we can't let Ye Li and the village chief be taken away today. Do you remember what I told you just now?" Zhuzi's mother asked loudly to everyone at the front of the crowd.
"Remember, we all know what to do!"
"Go in quickly."
"Yes, go in now and explain things to those people!"
Just as a group of people were walking towards the brigade meeting room, Sanwang passed by carrying a chicken. When he saw Haohao ****, the group of people immediately started shouting.
"What are you doing? You all come to the team to cause trouble! Go back quickly and don't cause any more trouble!" Sanwang was afraid that Zhuzi's mother and others would say something inappropriate, so he stopped them from entering the team.
"Sanwang, don't worry. We all know what to say. The cloth weaving in the village is all our own initiative. We make clothes for ourselves and give them to relatives. We don't sell them to any informal places."
As soon as Zhuzi's mother said this, Sanwang knew that Guan Gensheng must have informed the villagers when he went back to get the evidence. That's why the villagers came to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to report the situation.
"Why is it so noisy outside? I'll go check it out." The village chief heard a lot of people talking outside, and he was shocked when he went out. All the villagers except the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled had come.
"What are you doing? What does it have to do with you? Go back quickly and don't cause more trouble." The village chief was about to get angry, but Sanwang quickly came up and whispered something in his ear.
The village chief finally understood what was going on. He turned back to the meeting room and said to several staff members, "Leaders, everyone outside is from our village. You can ask any questions you have. If you don't believe what we say, then you should believe what the whole village says, right?"
When several staff members heard the village chief's words, they all stood up and walked out of the room and into the yard.
"Boss, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can ask anyone."
The staff walked into the crowd, found a few young women, and asked a few elderly people.
Unexpectedly, everyone’s answer was the same. They all said that they weave cloth in order to wear beautiful clothes.
After asking around and getting nothing, someone in the crowd shouted, "Leader, we in the whole village can testify to this. If you don't believe me, you can go to each of our homes and see how much cloth we have and how many clothes we have made. Can they match our accounts?"
"Yes! We have a clear conscience and are not afraid of your investigation!"
"I am not afraid of investigation, I have a clear conscience!"
Others also started to make a fuss. The village chief saw that the villagers were getting a little excited, so he quickly came out and shouted, "What are you shouting about? You don't need to say these things! The leaders have already investigated everything, right, leader?"
Several staff members looked at the group of emotional villagers, then looked at the village chief, and finally came to a conclusion.
What happened in Qingshan Village does not constitute disrupting the market, so there is no need to take Ye Li and the village chief and others back to investigate.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the staff's response.
"Okay, everything has been sorted out, everyone can go home quickly. Why are you running here instead of having a good meal at home at noon?" Although the village chief scolded everyone with a serious face, everyone knew that he was just putting on a show for a few staff members.
"Zhu Zi's mother, your trick is really powerful. It made those people give their answers on the spot. Can we say that this matter has been covered up?" Liu Xiaoni pulled Zhu Zi's mother's clothes and said in a low voice.
"No, I almost messed up things just now, but luckily I thought of a way to make up for it. Isn't I awesome?" When Zhuzi's mother heard someone praising her, her face was so bright with smiles.
"Hey, stop being so conceited. If Gensheng hadn't come to you, would you have known to say that? Why are you always flattering yourself? If you hadn't rashly gone to Ye Li to report the situation, maybe they wouldn't have brought Ye Li and the others in for questioning!"
"Go! I knew you had no good intentions. Anyway, this matter has been resolved. If those people still dare to take Ye Li and the others away, I will bring people to stop them! They will not be able to leave Qingshan Village at all!"
"Yes! That's right! Whoever dares to go against Qingshan Village will suffer the consequences!"
"Mom! Come quickly, why are all the dresses we put out to dry gone?" Liu Xiaohua's son Zhang Guangming ran over in panic.
