"Of course. OK, if you're sure you want it, I'll go inform the villagers right away."
"Thank you, village chief uncle."
"Why thank you? I should thank you for finding a job for our Old Sow Village."
Liu Shunzi scratched his head and smiled naively.
The matter of harvesting bamboo shoots was settled, and the village chief did not delay. He walked through the village with a gong, "Every household, one person, come to my house for a meeting! Every household, one person, come to my house for a meeting!..."
A village woman with something to say: "Village head, what's the matter?"
The village chief ignored him and said indifferently, "You will know when you go there. You can go as the head of the family."
In less than half an hour, the village chief's courtyard was crowded with people.
"Liu Shunzi's family is collecting bamboo shoots. If you want to buy some, go to the wild bamboo forest and pick them yourself. Remove the leaves and buy tender bamboo shoots. One pound costs one cent. Okay, that's it. Go back." The village chief insisted on being concise and clear.
"Village chief, his family wants bamboo shoots. Are you kidding me? They charge one cent per pound. One cent per pound. Ask him if he can give you the money?"
"That's right, Village Chief, he's making trouble, why are you following him and making trouble too?" someone complained.
They received the news and rushed back from underground in a hurry, but the result was, this?
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'll pay you right away if you give me the money. No credit. If you don't believe me, you can try and see if he gives you the money. This is a big deal. If it's not true, I can tell everyone in the village. I'm not afraid that you will block my door and scold me. Okay, believe it or not, it's up to you."
After hearing what the village chief said, I didn't believe him at all. Instead, I hesitated. What if it was true? If it is true, wouldn’t it be a waste of opportunities to make a fortune? No, when did Liu Shunzi acquire this ability?
Looking at Shunzi's first uncle and third uncle, they were both confused. Their families didn't have any contact with each other, so how could they know about his affairs?
"Village chief, you didn't hit me, haha?"
"Am I full?"
Yes, they don’t know who the village chief is. Even if they don’t believe Liu Shunzi, they still believe the village chief.
"You can try breaking off a few pounds and you will know. I'm going to make it clear, whoever dares to sneak in here and not pick the bamboo shoots cleanly, from now on, this family will not buy bamboo shoots."
"How could that be possible? We are all honest people, why would we do such a thing?"
"Even if it's the village chief, we are all honest people and we will never do anything immoral."
The village chief nodded. Most of the villagers were still corrupt. He said those were the ones who were sneaky and cunning. He wanted to give them a warning.
With that, the villagers dispersed.
"Master, is this true?"
"Well, if you have nothing to do, go pick bamboo shoots. I'll go too. Tell my grandson, daughter-in-law, and everyone else at home who has time to spare to pick bamboo shoots for me now."
"Ai!"
……………………
The family was still wandering on the mountain until it was almost dark, and then they slowly walked down the mountain after eating and drinking their fill.
"Dad, this is terrible. You still have to go to Uncle Shunzi's house again later."
"What's wrong?"
"You give him small change, but how can you make a change? You have to give him copper coins. I'll take out all the copper coins I have and you can give them to him."
She has a lot of space and more than three or two copper coins, which should be enough. Wait until the bamboo shoots are delivered the day after tomorrow, and then ask the shopkeeper to exchange for more.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, we'll all go to Shunzi's house, and we'll go before daybreak."
"I think so too. Dad, how about you help us deal with the bamboo shoots and harvest them, and let Uncle Shunzi find someone else to do it?"
"Who are you looking for?"
"Didn't you say that most of the people in the village are your brothers? Go find your brothers."
Zhao Dashu: ...
Song covered her mouth and laughed. Her daughter's mouth has been like this ever since she jumped into the river! In the past, it was always the head of the family who spoke and she was speechless. Now it is finally his turn, why is she so happy? ?
