After Lao Xing's explanation, the other two villagers understood.
"Holy crap, blonde is ruthless! She made 40,000 here and there."
"Oh, I remember now, didn't the blond guy buy ten massage machines in the auditorium in one go? I was wondering how he could be so rich back then, turns out he was taking kickbacks."
"What kickback? Is there really that much kickback? This is blatant corruption. Jinfa is finished this time."
Duan Chunsheng also shook his head as he watched.
"That blond guy went too far and got exposed. I bet the Chen family is going to come after him."
"Heh, this is considered troublesome? I reckon they could break his legs." Old Xing started giving his opinions.
"I'll go talk to the village chief in a bit. Villagers should love and help each other. How can they slander their own people? It's too much."
"Yes!" Ye Cheng shouted loudly.
"Old Xing, you're absolutely right, I support you. As a member of the village committee, you must handle this matter well, otherwise it will be so embarrassing for our village, right?"
“Exactly. Our village is a collective. If word gets out, people will think that everyone in our village is like this. I’m going to find the village chief right now. This is too much.”
After saying that, Old Xing straightened his back and walked towards Chen Jinhai's house.
"Old Xing! Keep it up, it's all up to you!" Ye Cheng shouted from behind.
At this moment, more people came over, and Ye Cheng introduced them to everyone again, not forgetting to add:
Old Xing noticed it all; things changed after he became a village committee member.
Now things are really messed up; Chen Jinfa's affair can no longer be kept secret.
Seeing that it was about time, Ye Cheng didn't wait any longer and happily led Duan Chunsheng and the others to the dock.
On the way, Duan Chunsheng looked at Ye Cheng with a puzzled expression.
"Ah Cheng, why do I get the feeling that you're gloating?"
"Really? Am I that obvious?" Ye Cheng said with a smile, barely able to suppress the AK at the corner of his mouth.
"Tch, is there anything else? You can practically write it on your face," Xiao Hu retorted.
Ye Cheng quickly wiped his face with his hand to make his expression look more serious.
"Oh dear, I'm just enjoying the show. Let's just go out to sea and collect our goods, and see what happens when we get back."
...
The three boarded the small boat. The hauling machine on the boat had been repaired, and the trawl net was ready and had been put away by Xiao Hu. They weren't going to use the trawl net today.
There wasn't much to say on the way there; it was just sailing. Ye Cheng was sailing, and Duan Chunsheng was talking about Chen Jinfa.
"Acheng, who do you think posted this? It must have been posted late at night. This person definitely doesn't want anyone to know who they are," Duan Chunsheng began to deduce.
"How would I know? I reckon it's someone from the Chen family. This is money stolen from the Chen family. What do you think, Xiao Hu?"
Xiao Hu nodded speechlessly. "You culprit, how dare you smear the Chen family?"
Duan Chunsheng didn't even consider Ye Cheng as a suspect. He took a drag of his cigarette and nodded.
"I think so too. They definitely want to make a big deal out of it and force Chen Jinfa to return the money."
"It's only right that this guy refunds the money. He ripped off so many people, yet he made more money than we did going out to sea," Ye Cheng said.
"He even sailed a big ship out to sea for a few days, and the wages weren't low. What was he thinking? How could he think of swindling money from his own family?"
"Hehe, what wouldn't Chen Jinfa do? He's done a lot of bad things." Ye Cheng said meaningfully.
......
Meanwhile, Lao Xing was rushing to Chen Jinhai's house.
Before we even arrived, we saw another one posted on the roadside, exactly the same as the one on the bulletin board.
As you walk further ahead, the area gets closer and closer to the Chen family's residence.
Some members of the Chen family also got up early to go out to sea, and now they're all gathered there watching.
Old Xing strode over and then said arrogantly,
"Can you even understand it? You've been looking at it for ages."
When the group saw that it was Old Xing, they said...
"We can't understand it, but you can? There are so many words."
"Tch, let me tell you, it's just one sentence: Chen Jinfa embezzled the money you raised to buy the boat. He quoted an inflated price and then quoted a lower price when selling the boat. He cheated you out of 40,000 yuan, and you're still so happy about it."
Everyone was stunned when Lao Xing finished speaking.
Upon closer inspection, they immediately understood.
"Holy crap! That son of a bitch Chen Jinfa told us he bought it for 320,000 and sold it for 250,000. Damn it, he pocketed all the profits."
"No wonder he's so rich lately, even smoking cigarettes. It turns out he's using our money."
"Let's go settle the score with him! This isn't over until he returns the money!"
"Give me my money back? It's not that simple. He cheats even people with the same surname. I can't swallow this kind of person without giving him a good beating!"
It was fine when it happened at the village entrance, but it had nothing to do with Lao Xing and those two villagers.
Most of the people here are those who participated in the initial fundraising. They realized they were scammed, so of course they're angry.
Once the crowd connected, dozens of people quickly gathered.
Some went home to inform others, and Lao Xing finally arrived at Chen Jinhai's house.
Chen Jinhai already knew something was wrong, so he completely ignored the smug Lao Xing, shoved him aside, and rushed out.
"Hey, hey, let me explain this to you. I've been trying to figure this out." Old Xing looked at Chen Jinhai's retreating figure with disappointment, but still followed him.
He thought to himself, "Chen Jinhai is no good. Ye Cheng is much better. Ye Cheng knows that he is a member of the village committee and should be respected."
Chen Jinhai, relying on his position as village chief, completely disregards us village committee members. Humph.
Nearly a hundred people had gathered in front of Chen Jinfa's house; it could be said that all of Chen's family members who were at home had come.
"Get out here!"
"Chen Jinfa, get out here!!!"
"Chen Jinfeng! I know you're in there, get out here!"
"come out!"
"come out!"
An angry crowd surrounded the doorway, pointing inside and shouting insults.
Chen Jinfa didn't know what had happened either. He peeked out through the crack in the door and was so frightened that he trembled.
He dared not go out at this moment. Finally, the shouting and cursing outside subsided a little. He peeked through the crack in the door and saw that Chen Jinhai had arrived.
"Golden Hair, come out here. You have to explain yourself clearly today." Chen Jinhai's lips turned white with anger.
If we're talking about assigning blame, he can't escape responsibility, since it was he who asked Chen Jinfa to buy the boat.
Chen Jinfa only dared to open the door after seeing the village chief arrive, and then stood out with his neck stiff.
"Are you all sick? What are you yelling about so early in the morning? This is my house, isn't it, village chief?"
Seeing that he was still pretending, Chen Jinhai got angry and swung his cane to hit him.
"Damn it, you've really turned your heart upside down! You even dare to steal money from your own people!"
"How could you possibly take the money we worked so hard to earn?"
"I trusted you so much, and you actually embezzled money, embezzled money!"
