Upon hearing this, the man with the upturned mustache in charge went to check and found no problems, nodding in satisfaction.
He said there wouldn't be any problems, so hurry up and get it weighed and pay!
I only feel at ease after I've paid!
Because only in this way will it belong to them!
well!
No wonder he was in such a hurry; look, even the village chief wanted one, and there was a bunch of eager villagers following behind him!
He had long heard that Changna Village was different; the village had development projects that had boosted the economy, and the money must be considerable!
We're all from the same village anyway, so even if we don't have enough money, we can pay it back slowly!
Therefore, weigh it quickly!
Su Nanxi couldn't help but laugh. Was it really necessary?
It's not a big deal if one or two are missing!
The person in charge's attitude is very important. Who knows what their master likes? What if the one they think is the best is chosen by someone else? How can they explain that?
In the end, they're the ones who will suffer!
We might as well take them all back and let our master choose whatever he wants and do with them as he pleases. That way, there will be nothing more to say, and it's the safest way!
Don't make decisions for your master!
They don't even know how they died!
The master has made it very clear: take as much as you have, take it all, and give him enough silver!
So what if there's a bit too much? It's not like we're short of money. If we can't finish it, we can save it and eat it later if we want!
There are quite a few in quantity, but the variety is rather limited, but he dared not say so!
Seeing that the person in charge had no regrets, Su Nanxi didn't say anything more. The weight had already been measured, so why be coy? Just wait to collect the money!
The steward was very generous in giving money, without any hesitation.
After collecting the money, Su Nanxi glanced at the crowd of onlookers, thought for a moment, and said to the person in charge, "Steward, you should have heard that our village has a lot of local specialties. Since you rarely come here, why don't you take some back with you? I guarantee you'll want more after you eat them! I just think it would be a bit of a waste if you didn't take some back. Many people who come to our village do take some back. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder, since we don't sell any of these."
The villagers who were watching were very moved. The Mo family had not forgotten them!
They even helped them get business!
Selling at your own doorstep is definitely better than going to town or the roadside to sell!
Saves time and effort!
Just as the villagers were about to eagerly introduce their belongings, the village chief spoke up first, "That's right! If you want to bring anything, just tell me. I know everything about the village; even the Mo family doesn't know as much as this old man!"
The steward thought for a moment. His master liked new things and was always searching for treasures. Since there was good food in the village, perhaps there was something his master would like. He told them to bring it over for them to see!
So, under the order maintained by the village chief, villagers who wanted to sell or were willing to sell brought some over.
The steward looked through the selections, tasted them all, and finally chose a few to take back first. He said that if the master liked them, he could come back and take more later.
The villagers were very happy, although they knew it was just a polite remark and that the person might not actually come.
However, he was telling the truth when he spoke to the steward. He thought the food tasted really good and suited his taste perfectly. He believed that his master would like it too!
When he got back, it was true. His master liked it very much and even asked where he bought it. Although it didn't taste as good as the ones at Haoyunlai Restaurant, it was still very good!
That's all I'll say!
Let's return to the Mo family.
After everyone had left, the Mo family realized that guests had arrived at their home!
It was quite chaotic before, and I really didn't notice that there were other people on the scene.
Zhou Yuzhu ran over happily, greeted him with a smile, and then hopped up to Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi was also taken aback. She didn't know what business this family had with the Mo family. She apologized and invited them inside.
Let's talk inside.
Zhou Yuzhu and her family sat down and began apologizing profusely for bringing those people to the Mo family's house.
The Mo family quickly said it was alright, it's all in the past. Anyway, this kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later. It's good to see people for who they really are sooner, so you can have more happy days!
No one is allowed to mention it again; let's just move on.
There's no point in saying more!
If we don't bring up unhappy things, we can still have a good chat.
Since we haven't had any major conflicts before, and he's not an ungrateful person, our relationship is fairly good, so there's no need to worry too much.
From the conversation, I learned that the second and third branches of the Zhou family are not doing well. Although they dare not openly speak ill of the Mo family, they are very resentful and have been muttering and cursing them quite a bit!
After the villagers of Shuiwu Village learned of their actions, they dared not approach them, fearing that they might be extorted and then find themselves unable to escape!
These two families, who never restrained themselves in normal times, couldn't control themselves anymore at this point. As their lives became increasingly difficult and they couldn't get enough to eat, their tempers flared up and they couldn't control themselves, nor did they want to restrain themselves anymore.
I wanted to borrow some rice from the villagers, but no one opened their door to lend me any. Everyone knows that once you lend it out, you never get it back, and if you borrow it once, you'll borrow it again!
I might as well not be a good person and not lend money; my own family doesn't even have enough rice to eat!
Good deeds don't always go unrewarded; if they refuse to lend you money next time, you might become their enemy!
They knew those two families too well, because they had borrowed from them before!
No one was willing to lend me any money, and my rice jar was almost empty. It was hard to make ends meet by tightening my belt!
Left with no other choice, they all went up the mountain to pick wild fruits and dig up wild vegetables, praying every day that they could catch wild animals!
But he couldn't keep it up for long and had to give up because there were so many mosquitoes and grass on the mountain. Every time he came back with his face covered in welts, he just couldn't take it anymore!
Besides, there was no gain, but in order to survive, they kept passing the buck and letting others do it.
I almost became a beggar!
Seeing how well the eldest son's family is doing, I just can't stand it. I keep trying to morally blackmail them, saying that it's their duty to help their younger brother's family and that they can't be so heartless as to see them suffer so much!
This caused Zhou Ping's family great distress. They dared not go out, and whenever they did, they would rush back in. They would eat whatever food they saw without asking any questions. If there were any leftovers, they would pack them up and take them home. They didn't treat themselves like outsiders at all!
On the contrary, they felt it was only natural. How could an elder brother disregard his younger brothers? It was unreasonable for him to go anywhere!
Even if bones are broken, tendons still connect them; we're blood relatives. We can't be so cold-blooded and heartless, or we'll suffer retribution!
Zhou Ping's family was so angry they wanted to hit someone!
But they ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye, so you couldn't tell they were people who were dizzy from hunger!
Later, they went even further, forcibly wanting to join Zhou Yuzhu's bean sprout business, investing without capital and demanding a share of the profits. They said that these were difficult times, and brothers shouldn't be so calculating. Anyway, it wasn't the eldest brother's idea, so they should split it equally, which was the fairest thing to do!
If they don't agree, they'll come and make a scene every day, threatening to prevent the bean sprout business from continuing!
Left with no other choice, Zhou Ping's family took advantage of the absence of the other two families to take all the bean sprouts to town and sell them all, and then stopped making them altogether.
They were so upset that they became mentally exhausted and wanted to move away.
"Third cousin-in-law, could you help me see if there are any suitable jobs?"
