Because they were all working together, these coal customers were considered major clients on the black market.
So the black market brought over a few loaders and even the weighing scales.
The coal bought on the black market wasn't like the coal He Chaoyang bought for Chen Shuning; it was all neatly packed in 50-jin baskets.
The black market doesn't have that many wicker baskets, so this whole truckload of coal will have to wait until it arrives at the destination to be weighed again according to the amount each person wants.
Since Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi came back in the car, the first thing they weighed was Gu Xinyi's two thousand jin.
Although Feng Baoguo also came back in the car, since it wasn't his own property, he still had to wait for Yang Wanqiu to come back and check the scale herself, otherwise it would be unclear whether there was too much or too little.
The large truck loaded with coal attracted the attention of the villagers from the moment it drove into the village.
When the villagers came out and saw the truckload of black coal, they were furious.
You know, coal is a valuable commodity. It's expensive and hard to buy. But now, looking at this huge truckload, which must contain at least five or six thousand kilograms of coal, it would be strange if the villagers didn't blast it.
In no time, all the villagers who hadn't gone up the mountain to chop firewood because of the heavy snow all rushed over to watch the excitement. When Chen Shuning and his group returned, they were greeted by layers upon layers of villagers watching the spectacle.
Everyone had bought a lot of things, carrying large and small bags, and finally managed to squeeze into the educated youth compound.
No one cared about being starving; they put the things back inside and came out to wait for the coal to be weighed.
Unlike when loading the coal, where people from the black market helped with loading and unloading, the weighing of the coal was also done by people from the black market. But the educated youth had to carry the weighed coal to the woodshed themselves.
Fortunately, it snowed today, and the educated youth stayed home instead of going up the mountain. Everyone came out to help, so the weighing wasn't delayed for a while.
They weighed them here and then transported them back to their respective woodsheds.
Those who were watching the spectacle and trying to steal something also failed.
Many of those who didn't gain anything started making sarcastic remarks.
"Oh my, these young people from the city are really rich. There are plenty of free logs on the mountain, why waste money on coal? They really don't know how to manage their money."
As the village's most gossipy woman, Hu Chunzhi was naturally among the first to speak up.
Her best friend Liu Guihua chimed in, not to be outdone: "That's right, oh my, this whole truckload of coal is going to be worth a lot of money. These young people just don't know how to manage their money."
Oh my, look at them, all carrying big and small bags. Besides this coal, they must have bought a lot of other things. Their wages for this year haven't been paid yet, but they already have a lot of money in their hands.
I really don't know what their parents are thinking. How can they give so much money to teenagers? If my kids dared to spend money like that, I'd beat them to death.
By this time, Liu Guihua already considered Yang Wanqiu as her daughter-in-law, so she was already very unhappy when she saw Yang Wanqiu carrying a lot of things back home.
She had heard that Yang Wanqiu's mother had died, and that her only father had severed ties with her because of his affair.
Therefore, in her eyes, Yang Wanqiu had no family. In this way, as long as Yang Wanqiu marries into their family in the future, wouldn't all of her money belong to Liu Guihua?
Therefore, in Liu Guihua's eyes, every penny Yang Wanqiu spent belonged to her. Now, watching Yang Wanqiu return those large and small bags and come out to wait for the coal to be weighed, her heart ached as if it were about to bleed.
He couldn't help but calculate in his mind that he should try to trick this wife into his home as soon as possible—no, he should marry her. Otherwise, given her spending habits, he didn't know how much money he would have to spend if he waited any longer.
Of course, there were also people who disapproved of the two of them. Not knowing what was going on, Wan Guihua saw many villagers running towards the educated youth settlement and thought something had happened again. Just as she was about to leave, she heard what the two of them were saying.
With a slightly displeased look on his face, he said, "They can spend the money their parents gave them however they want. What's it to you? If you have nothing better to do, I'll go back and tell my old man that the pig manure over there needs to be cleaned up. Go and collect the pig manure."
As the team leader's wife, she naturally didn't want to see conflicts between the educated youth and the villagers, so she naturally had to step in and stop any potential conflicts.
When Chen Shuning and his companion first arrived, they were punished by having to carry pig manure for a month. The smell was truly unbearable. Even though they raised chickens and ducks at home, the villagers, used to the smell of animal manure, found it hard to accept.
So when they heard Wan Guihua's words, although they were unwilling, they both shut their mouths.
"Alright, alright, what's so interesting about this coal? If there's nothing else, everyone can go home and rest. You'd be better off going home to collect firewood tomorrow after the snow melts."
I heard from the old Party Secretary that this winter will be colder than usual, and every household should prepare more firewood so that people don't freeze to death when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.
Then it'll be other people coming to your house to watch the show.
This year, Wan Guihua's family also bought 1,000 jin of coal through Du Qianjin, who delivers coal to Chen Shuning.
With this thousand catties of coal and the fact that he has many sons, he has gradually accumulated a lot of firewood over the years, which means his family can have a warm and comfortable winter.
This is all thanks to Chen Shuning, who is also good at handling things and gets along well with her family.
Therefore, when Wan Guihua saw that Chen Shuning was among the people waiting to weigh the coal, she naturally stepped forward to defend the educated youth.
