Hearing everyone's comments, Xiao Biyun was already angry, and when she heard these words, she rolled her eyes at the person who spoke.
"What time is it? There's still half an hour until ten o'clock."
The man gave an awkward, apologetic laugh.
Everyone waited anxiously yet patiently, glancing down at their wrists every now and then.
Time ticked by, and it was already 9:58, but there was still no sign of the truck. No one could sit still any longer.
"Oh dear, Weishan Biyun, will they even come? Maybe they won't dare come because they can't get the supplies?"
"How could you possibly get so many supplies? Why make such boastful claims that you'll embarrass yourself?"
"Isn't it just that you want to be in charge? But don't you realize that you can make everyone believe you by bragging for a while, only to fail to deliver in the end? Wouldn't that just disappoint everyone even more?"
"No, could they have taken advantage of the time we've been waiting to run off and steal the treasure?"
"But Weishan and Biyun are still here."
“What use are they here? That child was only recently found, and he doesn’t have a deep relationship with Weishan and his wife. With so much wealth to offer, how could they possibly still care about Weishan and his wife?”
“You’re right. They’ve just found them and don’t have much of a bond with them yet. They’ll definitely only care about money, not people.”
Everyone chimed in, as if they knew the truth and were stating facts.
Then they began questioning Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun.
The couple were completely baffled. Gao Weishan had no choice but to say, "We didn't tell A Yuan where the treasure was hidden. They don't know the location, so where are they going to find the treasure?"
But many people don't believe it.
"Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Isn't there still one minute left?"
"Ha, one minute? If they can get here in one minute, I'll eat shit!" a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy shouted, his face red and neck thick.
He is Gao Shengyao's grandson, and he is at the age where he is full of youthful passion.
But as soon as he finished speaking, two car headlights appeared in the darkness not far away.
"They're here!" someone shouted.
Xiao Jue immediately retorted, "Go eat shit!"
The young man's face turned bright red, and his expression was extremely unpleasant, as if he had eaten shit.
The others also blushed, wanting to laugh but feeling it was a bit unfair since they were all relatives, yet they felt strangely uncomfortable not to laugh.
Lu Yuan parked the car and helped his wife out of the car when they saw a large group of people waiting at the warehouse gate, all with strange expressions.
Hmm? Why is this different from what he expected?
Without thinking much, he said to Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun who came to greet him, "Mom and Dad, the supplies have all been brought back."
Everyone was overjoyed, and their eyes immediately lit up.
"You really got a whole truckload of supplies?" Xiao Shengming's voice trembled with excitement.
Lu Yuan nodded, then waved to the crowd.
"Those with strength, step forward and lend a hand to move the things into the warehouse first."
Everyone readily agreed and hurriedly climbed onto the car.
Lu Yuan instructed, "A few strong men go up and pass it to us from above, while the rest of you receive it from below."
Three or four quick-handed people climbed onto the vehicle. After scanning it with their flashlights and seeing the supplies inside, they all gasped in surprise and then shouted excitedly.
"Haha, what a truckload of good stuff, so much stuff!"
"Shut up!"
Lu Yuan sternly reprimanded them. Although this place was remote and there were few residents around, it was still better to keep your voice down.
The man quickly shut his mouth, and the others unconsciously slowed down their movements.
Because there were so many people, everything was quickly moved into the warehouse. Everyone shone their flashlights on the supplies, and they could clearly see what was inside. Everyone was excited, and their eyes shone brightly like light bulbs.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! As expected of our leader, you are truly capable. The Gao and Xiao families have a bright future!"
Gao Shengyao was beaming, his face so full of wrinkles that he looked like an old chrysanthemum from laughing.
"Yes, back then the two old men said that the descendant of Weishan and Biyun was a capable person who could lead our two families to regain their glory. Now it seems that what they said was true. The two old men were right."
“I accept Yuan as the head of the family. From now on, I will listen to him and whatever he says goes.”
"Yes, we accept it and will listen to what the head of the family says."
"Me too!"
Everyone expressed their opinions, automatically ignoring what they had said before; at this moment, they were truly convinced.
They didn't ask how these supplies were obtained; they all believed that Lu Yuan had abilities that others couldn't match, and even thought that Lu Yuan's abilities were almost on par with the two old men.
Of course, I have even greater faith in and admiration for the two old men's abilities. They are amazing, their predictions are so accurate!
Listening to everyone's words, Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun finally felt relieved and refreshed. The usually reserved two proudly raised their chins and occasionally scoffed, expressing their disdain and mockery of the inconsistent attitude of the others.
No one was angry. They let the two of them make sarcastic remarks; they saw the tangible benefits and even greater gains. They didn't care about anything else.
Next came the issue of resource allocation, and everyone looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was very satisfied with this. Although everyone had their own thoughts, they were all united on one point: they believed in the words of their ancestors and listened to the head of the family.
This is the idea instilled in them by the two old men: only by listening to the head of the family can everyone be safe and sound, and only then can the family prosper.
With this truckload of supplies, Lu Yuan had completely won over the Gao and Xiao families.
Lu Yuan entrusted the distribution of supplies to Xiao Jue and Gao Nuoxing.
Gao Nuoxing was his uncle's second son. He had observed him before and found him to be a rather calm and composed person. When his parents and brother questioned him, he remained silent.
"Distribute the money equally among all households. Give any surplus to my parents and keep proper records."
He then gave the two a list of the unit prices for all the items.
"This is the price list. Calculate the price and give it to me later. This time, no one needs to pay anything. I will deduct it from the price after we receive the property."
No one had any objections.
The two people entrusted with this important task were both surprised and excited, feeling like they were the right-hand men of the family. They would definitely be the backbone of the family's future development.
The two were full of enthusiasm and accepted the job very seriously. They then began to carefully distribute the supplies and even found two helpers to help with weighing and other odd jobs.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, became a hands-off manager, taking his wife and parents back to sleep.
No one thought it was inappropriate; on the contrary, they thought it was the proper way for a head of the family to behave!
