Chapter 40: Trouble Again



Ordinary people, in particular, are most disgusted by people who cause trouble for no reason, and they all look at Cheng Jiaojiao with eyes that seem to avoid her like the plague.

Cheng Jiaojiao instantly felt extremely uncomfortable, her face turning bright red, and she blamed everything on Lin Ying's enemy.

Lin Ying ignored her gaze and turned around to carry the basket back into the commune hall.

Compared to the various commercial goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives, the goods here are more agricultural in nature.

There were all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and chicken, duck, fish and meat. Lin Ying even saw various ceramics, wooden products and handicrafts.

The key point is that many things don't require tickets or coupons.

Later, Lin Ying realized that this was not the case in many places. In most places, the supply and marketing cooperatives and communes were integrated, and there were not so many things that did not require ration coupons.

It was a solution devised by the town leaders. The people here are already struggling financially; if farmers aren't given ration coupons, how can those two hens possibly cover their living expenses?

Cotton isn't grown here, so how cold are the winters? Do they all go hunting in the mountains? There are so many bears and wolves in the mountains; you might encounter wolves just walking on the road. How are these people supposed to survive?

These quotas are something they shamelessly demanded. They'll take the items within the quota and use the excess to benefit their local people, no problem.

Because this matter involves a group of people, no one dares to bring it up.

If anyone says that, everyone will come to your house to spend the winter! It is said that this happened last year. It is said that because they could not afford salt, they were all weak and many were sent to the hospital. Later, many farmers who could not survive sat in front of the government building in the dead of winter and refused to leave until their problems were solved.

This year, the people's commune and the supply and marketing cooperative were separated.
