Su Kunliang stated his purpose directly.
"Brother, what do you think of this plan?"
“Okay, that’s great. Come on, I’ll go with you to talk to the village chief.”
Lin Shuo wasn't stupid; he understood his intentions. He and Lin Yiheng took the father and son to find the village chief.
A moment later, Lin Shuo and Lin Yiheng returned with smiles on their faces.
"Brother, what did the village chief say?" Lin Yinan asked.
Lin Yiheng said, "Uncle Su wants five strong men to help carry grain, and each man will be paid two catties of grain per day. How could the village chief refuse such a good offer?"

Su Kunliang quickly covered her mouth, "Shh! Madam, please keep your voice down."
Zhu Jinhui forcefully slapped his hand away and growled, "Did you ever ask for my opinion before making these decisions? It's not like we're short-handed. Why do we have to give away ten catties of grain every day? Don't you know what time it is now? We have four more mouths to feed. Are we going to starve?"
