Hongxing Village is located in a mountainous area, the mountainous area is barren, and there is a lack of water, so it cannot afford to grow crops, so it can only grow apples, and the livelihood of every family depends on the fruit of this tree.

And the price of apples is a big deal in the hearts of farmers.

If the price is higher, life can be much better, and if the price is low, you will have to tighten your waist and live a hard life in the coming year.

Li Tiedan has always been good friends with the Guo family, and when he learned from Uncle Guo that a boss had come to the village to collect apples for eight points, he was so happy that he even planned to sell the apples, go to the town to pull a few meters of new cloth, and make a new jacket for the elderly and children in the family.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, he finally looked forward to the boss, but said that it was not eight points, and the disappointment and depression in his heart can be imagined.

The Guo family is the worst in the village, and since Li Tiedan's father's generation, they have taken care of the Guo family.

Therefore, when he learned that Uncle Guo was playing with outsiders, Li Tiedan was extremely angry and aggrieved, and went to the village director's house to complain.

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

Halfway through, they met a villager who went to the dealer to sell apples, and the two greeted directly: "Don't sell it, the boss of Uncle Guo's house will charge eight points." ”

This is terrible, and many villagers also followed to Guo's house.

……

"Uncle Guo, I heard that your boss collects apples for eight points, is there such a thing?"

Uncle Guo has been honest all his life, and in the face of the village director's door-to-door questioning, he didn't dare to lie and be deceived, and he didn't want to lose his trust with Pei Yang, so he had to cast a look at Pei Yang for help.

Pei Yang knew that it might be difficult to get good today, so he spoke out for Uncle Guo: "We also receive five points." ”

Li Tiedan pointed at Pei Yang's nose and jumped to his feet, "You fart!" When I came over before, I heard Uncle Guo say to Aunt Guo that it was eight points, and that five points was bluffing me. ”

They are all from the same village, and the Guo family is usually favored by the people in the village, but now they have benefits and hide them by themselves.

The village director's face immediately turned cold, "Uncle Guo, if you speak with your conscience, is it five or eight points." ”

Uncle Guo twisted his face into a ball for the rare moment, stomped his feet with "oops", and pointed at Pei Yang, "I listened to the boss, and the boss said that a few points is a few points!" ”

As more and more villagers watched, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Pei Yang in unison.

Pei Yang has been on the battlefield and seen the wind and waves, but the current scene is not a matter for him at all.

He said calmly: "Five points." ”

The village director had no choice but to turn his head and put pressure on Uncle Guo, "The boss gives five points, Uncle Guo, what do you say?" ”

Uncle Guo looked at Pei Yang, and then at the villagers who were gathering more and more, and nodded bitterly, "Okay, five points." ”

"Dad......"

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

Pei Yang took the opportunity to explain to the village director and the villagers: "Our purchase price is the same as that of the dealers, it is five cents, and we will accept Uncle Guo's family today, if you want to sell apples, wait for the next ......."

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

Hearing that the price had become five points, Aunt Guo immediately pulled Shen Mingzhu, and she was very excited-

"I said that it was eight points, but now it has become five points, how can you talk without words?"

The two daughters-in-law of the Guo family also angrily accused Shen Mingzhu: "Knowing that you are willing to charge eight points, Dad went to the town to cut a pound of pork and came back, and wanted to invite you to a good meal, but after eating the pork, he only gave five points, aren't you liars?" ”

"Liar! Swindler! ”

Several children of the Guo family shouted around Shen Mingzhu.

Hearing the argument in the door, the village chief and Li Tiedan wanted to lead people to rush in.

Pei Yang took Lao Zhu and Shen Chaobei to block it, and the two sides inevitably had physical friction.

Shen Mingzhu was upset by Mrs. Guo's entanglement, and when she heard a commotion outside the door, a nameless fire suddenly rose in her heart.

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

Aunt Guo and the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family gave up, and couldn't wait to open the door, pulling Shen Mingzhu and Uncle Guo and the two sons of the Guo family and said: "The female boss said, take eight points!" ”

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

The two daughters-in-law of the Guo family also echoed it, and even brought a few children to testify, and couldn't wait to make this price firm, so as not to make Shen Mingzhu regret it.

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

The poor will have something to hate them, and it could not be more appropriate.

Pei Yang walked to Shen Mingzhu's side as soon as possible, his eyes fell on her little pale face with concern, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I'll deal with this matter." ”

"No, I'll tell them personally."

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

When she stepped out of the door, Uncle Guo immediately apologized to her apologetically: "Girl, I've caused you trouble." ”

"It's eight points that she said herself, and they are not short of money when they are big bosses."

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

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the other party, turned his head and said to the village director and the villagers: "I am the factory director, and I have the final say on the collection of apples." ”

As soon as the words fell, the villagers suddenly exploded, and they all asked her to go to the house to collect apples.

"My apples are no worse than Uncle Guo's, we are all on the same mountain."

"The people in our village rely on apples to eat, unlike you people in the city who have commercial grain to eat, boss, you can do it and collect our apples."

Shen Mingzhu didn't talk to the villagers, but called the village director to talk -

"We have a car, which can hold up to 2,500 catties, and we will collect it at a price of eight cents, and you will arrange who sells it first."

Naturally, the village chief would not refuse.

It's better to be able to sell a little is a little than to sell all of them for five points.

Immediately, the village director stood in front of Guo's house and told Shen Mingzhu about his purchase of 2,500 catties of apples.

As for whom's family to receive, the lot is decided, a total of five lots, and whoever catches it will sell it for 500 catties.

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

Aunt Guo quit, and ran to Shen Mingzhu with a white face to ask for an explanation, "I said that I would accept my apples, how can you talk without words?" ”

Shen Mingzhu looked at the other party calmly, "I just agreed to charge it at the price of eight cents, and I didn't say that I would definitely accept it from yours." ”

Aunt Guo hurriedly said: "I don't care, anyway, you told my old man last night!" You can't talk and don't count! ”

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "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 has to ask me to accept her apples first, otherwise she will scold me for not talking well, it will be difficult for me to do it." ”

If 2,500 catties of apples are compared to cakes, the village chief and the villagers are a community of interests waiting to share the cake.

And now, Aunt Guo wants to swallow everyone's cake alone, which is undoubtedly offending the anger of the public.
