The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

Chapter 223 The Guo family offends the public

Hongxing Village is located in a mountainous area, which is barren and lacks water. It cannot grow crops and can only grow apples. The livelihood of every household depends on the fruit of this tree.

The price of apples is a big deal among farmers.

If the price is higher, life will be much easier. If the price is lower, you will have to tighten your belt and live a hard life in the coming year.

Li Tiedan has always been on good terms with the Guo family. When he learned from Uncle Guo that a boss came to the village to collect apples for eight cents, he was so happy that he even planned to sell the apples and go to the town to get a few meters of new life. cloth and make new coats for the elderly and children at home.

He looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the boss came, but he said it was not [-]%. You can imagine the disappointment and depression in his heart.

The Guo family has the worst conditions in the village. Ever since Li Tiedan's father, he has taken great care of the Guo family.

Therefore, when he learned that Uncle Guo was playing tricks on him with outsiders, Li Tiedan was particularly angry and aggrieved, and ran to the village director's house to complain.

As the head of a village, when the village director learned that a boss was collecting apples at a high price, he naturally refused to miss the opportunity to benefit the whole village, and immediately went to Guo's house with Li Tiedan.

On the way, they met a villager who went to a dealer to sell apples. The two of them greeted directly: "Stop selling, the boss of Uncle Guo's house charges [-] cents."

This was so serious that many villagers also came to Guo's house.

……

"Uncle Guo, I heard that your boss harvests apples at eighty percent, is this the case?"

Uncle Guo has been an honest friend all his life. When faced with the village director's questioning, he did not dare to lie and deceive, and he did not want to break his trust with Pei Yang. In a dilemma, he had no choice but to look at Pei Yang for help.

Pei Yang knew that things might not go well today, so he came to the rescue for Uncle Guo: "We will also take five points."

Li Tiedan pointed at Pei Yang's nose and jumped, "You fart! When I came here earlier, I heard with my own ears that Uncle Guo told Aunt Guo that it was eight points, and that he was bluffing me by saying that it was five points."

They are all from the same village. The Guo family usually receives favors from the villagers, but now they actually keep the benefits to themselves.

The village director's face immediately turned cold, "Uncle Guo, please speak with your conscience, whether it is a five-point score or an eight-point score."

Uncle Guo's face twisted into a ball because of the rare opportunity. He stamped his feet and pointed at Pei Yang, "I listen to the boss. Whatever the boss says is the score!"

As more and more villagers gathered around, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Pei Yang.

Pei Yang had been on the battlefield and had seen wind and waves, but the current scene was nothing to him.

He said calmly: "Five points."

The village director had no choice but to turn around and put pressure on Uncle Guo, "Boss, give me five points. Uncle Guo, what do you say?"

Uncle Guo looked at Pei Yang, then at the more and more villagers gathered together, and nodded bitterly, "Okay, five points."

"dad……"

Guo Lao Er was obviously dissatisfied with the price and wanted to speak out, but was stopped by Guo Lao Er.

Pei Yang took the opportunity to explain to the village director and villagers: "Our purchase price is the same as the dealers, which is five cents. Today we will collect the apples from Uncle Guo's house first. If you want to sell apples, wait until next time..."

The conversation outside the door was clearly heard by Shen Mingzhu, Aunt Guo, and the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family.

When she heard that the price had changed to five cents, Aunt Guo immediately pulled Shen Mingzhu, feeling very excited——

"We agreed on an eight-point score, and now it's a five-point score. How can you keep your word?"

The two daughters-in-law of the Guo family also angrily accused Shen Mingzhu: "Knowing that you are willing to charge eight cents, Dad went to the town to cut a pound of pork on Qing Dynasty and came back. He wanted to treat you to a good meal. After eating the pork, I changed my mind again and only gave five points, aren’t you liars?”

"Liar! Liar!"

Several children from the Guo family gathered around Shen Mingzhu and shouted.

Hearing the argument at the door, the village director and Li Tiedan wanted to lead the people in.

Pei Yang led Lao Zhu and Shen Chaobei to stop him, and there was inevitable physical friction between the two sides.Shen Mingzhu was annoyed by the entanglement of Guo Guo and others. When she heard the commotion outside the door, an unknown fire suddenly rose in her heart.

"Eight points is eight points, just charge it at this price!"

Only then did Aunt Guo and the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family give up. They couldn't wait to open the door, pulled Shen Mingzhu along with Uncle Guo and the two sons of the Guo family and said, "The female boss said, we will charge you eight cents!"

"Yes, Dad, we all heard it, she said it herself."

The two daughters-in-law of the Guo family also echoed, and even roped in a few children to testify. They couldn't wait to confirm the price, lest Shen Mingzhu regret it.

It was very cold in Fengcheng in December, but the women of the Guo family only cared about their own interests and gains and losses, regardless of the selfishness and ignorance of others, which made Shen Mingzhu feel as cold as ice.

Poor people must have something hateful to say, so it is most appropriate to use it on them.

Pei Yang walked up to Shen Mingzhu immediately, his eyes fell on her pale face with concern, and he said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."

"No, I told them myself."

Seeing her walking out the door, Pei Yang hurriedly followed her to protect her.

When she stepped out of the door, Uncle Guo immediately apologized to her with an apologetic expression: "Girl, I have caused you trouble."

"She said it was eight points herself. They don't lack this much money to be the big boss."

The person who spoke was the second daughter-in-law of the Guo family.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the other party, turned to the village director and villagers and said, "I am the factory director, and I have the final say on apple harvesting."

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers immediately exploded, and everyone wanted her to go home to collect apples.

"My apples are no worse than Uncle Guo's. We are both from the same hilltop."

"People in our village only rely on apples for food, unlike you people in the city who have commercial grain to eat. Boss, just do it and collect our apples."

Shen Mingzhu did not talk to the villagers, but asked the village director to go and talk -

"We only have one vehicle, which can hold up to [-] kilograms. We charge a price of eight cents. It is up to you to decide who sells it first."

Naturally, the village director would not refuse.

It's better to sell a little bit than to sell everything for five cents at a low price.

Immediately, the village director stood in front of Guo's house and told Shen Mingzhu clearly about the purchase of [-] kilograms of apples.

As for whose family will take it, lots will be drawn. There are five lots in total, and whoever catches it will sell it for [-] catties.

This plan was unanimously approved by all the villagers except Guo's family.

Aunt Guo quit and rushed to Shen Mingzhu with a pale face to ask for an explanation, "We agreed to take my apples, how can you keep your word?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at the other party calmly, "I just agreed to charge eight cents, but I didn't say I would definitely charge your price."

Aunt Guo said anxiously: "I don't care, anyway, you made an agreement with my old man last night! You can't keep your word!"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go talk to the village director."

After that, Shen Mingzhu came to the village director and said in a voice that could be heard by the villagers: "Village Director, Aunt Guo insists that I collect her apples first, otherwise she will scold me for not telling the truth. It will be very difficult for me to handle. .”

If two thousand five hundred kilograms of apples are compared to a cake, the village director and villagers are a community of interests waiting to share the cake.

But now, Aunt Guo wants to monopolize everyone's cake, which is undoubtedly offending the public.
