"Dad, these are our family's mountain products. I've picked out the bad ones. Take a look, the quality is absolutely impeccable."
Zhang Xiangdong placed the mountain products in front of the old man.
“The quality is substandard.”
Zhang Shuguang's cold voice sounded behind him.
How can one repay kindness with evil?
We can buy mountain products from anyone except Zhang Xiangdong.
Even when his family was in the most difficult time, Zhang Xiangdong still had to step on them.
I just found a job and my family just had two days of full meals, but this bastard actually instigated everyone to raid my house. He didn't intend to leave me any chance of survival!
If I hadn't traveled through time, or if I hadn't bound to the system after traveling through time, my family probably wouldn't have survived until Zhang Xiangnan came back.
Now he wants me to buy his mountain products and exchange them for food for him. He is dreaming.
"Xiao Guang, stop making trouble."
Zhang Xiangdong's smile froze on his face.
"Who's kidding you? Are we familiar with each other?"
If Zhang Shuguang treated Zhang Yuejiao as an irrelevant stranger, he treated Zhang Xiangdong's family as his real enemies.
Zhang Xiangdong instigated his fellow villagers to raid his house, and his eldest son Zhang Xuguang delivered an anonymous letter to the factory, all in an attempt to put him to death.
Zhang Shuguang also didn't know why Zhang Xiangdong's family did such a thing that harmed others and did not benefit themselves, and why they couldn't stand seeing others doing well.
Was it jealousy? Was it a desire to justify breaking up the relationship? Or was it simply bad intentions? Or maybe a combination of all three.
"Second brother, look at this child Xiaoguang."
Zhang Xiangdong looked at Zhang Xiangnan for help.
"Don't call me second brother. We already drew a line three years ago. It was you who took the initiative to break off relations, right? No one forced you, right?"
After Zhang Xiangnan came back, he learned from his family what Zhang Xiangdong's family had done in the past three years, and naturally he did not have a good impression of him.
"Second brother."
Bai Yanniang also called out hesitantly.
"Shut up, who is your second brother?"
When her little girl fell ill, Su Hong had nowhere else to turn and asked them for the debt. Bai Yanniang not only refused to pay, but also insulted and beat Su Hong in public.
If he dared to agree to Bai Yanniang calling him "second brother", he would have no chance of living.
"You should know what you have done. Please move aside immediately and don't delay our sale of mountain products."
Standing behind Zhang Xiangdong were the Cao family father and son, including the second son Cao Liang.
"You are trying to kill us~~"
"Harvest work is so tiring! There's not a single grain of food left at home!"
Bai Yanniang no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude of the past. She collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
"Cao Ming, drag him away."
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. No one feels sorry for what happened to Zhang Xiangdong's family.
Cao Ming agreed and directed the militia to drag Zhang Xiangdong and his family away.
The crying sound became farther and farther away. Zhang Qingchun sighed and continued to look at the mountain products of the next store.
"Uncle Liang, how is your recovery going?"
Seeing Cao Liang, Zhang Shuguang couldn't help but ask another question.
"I'm recovering very well. I feel completely well now. I can earn work points during the autumn harvest."
Cao Liang stretched his arms and legs and jumped twice to restore himself to the spot.
"Please don't. You'll have to wait two months if you want to work. If you run out of food or have any other difficulties, just come to me."
A broken spine is no small matter. If Cao Liang didn't have his own Yin-Yang Thirteen Needles, even if he had managed to survive, he would have been paralyzed.
"It's enough to last until the end of the year."
Last time, Zhang Shuguang directly sent over 100 kilograms of fine grain, plus the grain their family earned from felling trees, if they save some, they can eat for a long time.
More than a hundred households weighed their goods and left happily with their receipts.
They knew that the food would be delivered tonight, and maybe they could even distribute it overnight like last time.
"Xiao Guang, this time we have even more than last time. A total of 520 kilograms of dried mountain products and 213 kilograms of fresh mountain products."
Accountant Zhang Xiangrong came over with the ledger.
"Okay, let's stick to the old rules. Uncle Xiangyang, at nine o'clock in the evening, take the food to the grove outside the village. I'll have the factory deliver the food this afternoon."
Zhang Shuguang memorized the number and returned the ledger to Accountant Zhang.
"I understand. I understand everything."
Zhang Xiangyang winked at Zhang Shuguang and smiled.
Well, he understood again, and Zhang Shuguang didn’t know what he understood.
After leaving the brigade headquarters, I saw that Zhang Xiangdong and his family had not left yet, and their backpacks filled with mountain products were placed beside them.
Bai Yanniang slumped at the entrance of the brigade office, still sobbing.
Zhang Xiangdong was sighing on the side, while Zhang Chenguang and Zhang Shengguang were also wiping their tears.
The members who came out of the brigade headquarters walked around them in the aisles, as if they were avoiding the plague.
During this period, Zhang Xiangdong's family had a very difficult time. In just two months, they experienced all the suffering that Zhang Shuguang's family had experienced.
Ridicule, contempt, spitting, isolation, insults, everything, all came at their home at once.
After Zhang Shuguang's rise, Zhang Xiangdong wanted to ease the relationship, but was unsuccessful.
Zhang Shuguang's personality is completely different from his father's. He has no scruples and it seems that no matter whether he takes the initiative to show goodwill or uses moral blackmail, it has no effect.
After Zhang Xiangnan came back, Zhang Xiangdong thought his chance had come. His brother was a kind-hearted person who attached great importance to family affection and would endure any loss for his relatives.
But this time his plan failed again. The kind-hearted younger brother seemed to have suddenly changed his temperament.
No matter what means he tried, even joining forces with his once most beloved sister, it was of no avail.
He didn't know what went wrong. He used to think he was smart and always got the upper hand when getting along with his brothers and sisters, but now none of it worked at all.
"Uncle, we really can't make ends meet anymore. When the villagers see us, they either ignore us or make sarcastic remarks.
Now we have grown up and are at the age to find a wife, but no matchmaker has come to our door.
We took the initiative to find a matchmaker, but the matchmaker said that we should not do anything immoral and should not send our good daughter into trouble.
Second Uncle, we two brothers can't live like this for even a day longer. We want to sever ties with them and draw a clear line. I hope you can forgive us."
As soon as the two nephews saw their uncle Zhang Xiangnan, they ran over and grabbed his arms.
"What kind of nonsense are you two rebellious sons of bitches saying? Your mother and I raised you to this age, do you still have any conscience?"
Zhang Xiangdong was both angry and sad.
What was going on? The child I raised was actually trying to distance himself from me.
They are all saying the words they used in the past!
Karma is a cycle, and retribution will come. I didn't expect the boomerang to hit me so soon.
