Chapter 208 If You Don't Agree, Just Hold It In

Seeing them coming back, some of the villagers who rushed to Su Qingmei were not willing to work. Read МThey worked hard in the mountains for several days, but now they can't even get half a penny?

They might as well have stayed at home to eat!

They started to quarrel and wanted the people who went to Baipi County to pay compensation.

Su Qingmei glanced at them indifferently. Didn't she see that the people who went to sell goods were beaten and still had injuries, and they still wanted compensation?

He said coldly: "It was agreed at the beginning that it was a free choice. It was your own choice to sell more or less. If you want them to pay compensation, then who should they ask for medical expenses? They worked hard, pushing, carrying and carrying to help you go out to sell goods, and they had to pay for their own meals, accommodation and treatment. Now they have to compensate you for your losses?"

The people who followed the Zhongzhaizhu to sell goods had red eyes and felt bad after hearing what Su Qingmei said. They regretted not listening to Su Qingmei's words at the beginning.

They didn't want to, and they also wanted to help the villagers sell the mountain products at a high price. But they didn't know that the other party was so good at cheating. They almost couldn't come back.

When the families of these people heard that their children had to pay compensation, they refused to do it.

The two groups immediately quarreled.

The other two groups felt extremely lucky.

And the few who followed Siyuan Siyuan felt even more fortunate. Not only did they not have to spend money on accommodation and food, but they also saw a lot in the governor's mansion and were treated well.

Not only were they treated with courtesy by the caravan, but in the end they bought the food and other goods that everyone wanted from the caravan, and the price was cheaper than outside.

Really fortunate.

Look at the other two groups of people, tut tut, they lost the big picture for the small. People in the mountains say that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. They have lived in this mountain for so many years, why haven't they learned it yet?

When they heard that they would deduct 20% of the profit, they refused to do it. The little abacus was clattering.

Why don't you say that they need to help you contact the caravan, to build favors, and to socialize with people? If you don't care about it, what's wrong with them taking 20% ​​of your profit?

You think sesame is bigger than pumpkin.

Now you don't save rice, and you lose chickens.

In the end, the quarrel was really outrageous, and Su Qing'an called them to stop. She mediated the conflict.

They are all their own choices. You can't just keep the money you earn and ask others to pay for the money you don't earn. It doesn't make sense.

But after all the hard work, they didn't get a penny, and it was also difficult for them to pay for the expenses of the sellers.

So, each family accepted the loss, after all, it was their own choice. But the expenses of the few people who followed Zhongzhaizhu to Baibei County were paid by the village.

Su Qing'an paid first. When Baijiazhai handed in the public funds, she would deduct them from it.

Everyone dispersed at this time.

When they left, they probably felt all kinds of emotions, but Su Qing'an didn't care. People should always be responsible for their own behavior. No one will wipe your ass for you.

After dinner, Zhongzhaizhu came to find Su Qing'an, supported by Xiu'er and followed by Baishu. This time, Zhongzhaizhu was a little exhausted.

Su Qing'an looked at Xiu'er and Baishu. The two seemed to have changed a little. Xiu'er didn't seem to hide when Baishu was around, but her eyes were still wrong.

Baishu looked at Xiu'er, and there was still attachment in his eyes. But Xiu'er didn't look him in the eye, and her eyes were also indifferent when she looked over occasionally.

Su Qing'an sighed secretly. This kind of thing, others really can't help.

She went over and helped the village chief Zhong to sit down: "Why don't you rest at home and come here."

The village chief Zhong was a little depressed: "I really can't sleep. This is all because of me, which led to everyone not getting the money. I trusted those people. I have been the village chief for decades, and I boast that I have eaten more food than others for many years, but I didn't expect that I was still deceived..."

Su Qing'an looked at the self-blaming village chief Zhong and comforted him.

"We live in the mountains and rarely go out. People in the village are simpler than those outside. The weather outside is changing, and people's hearts are complicated. We can't guard against them."

Zhaizhu Zhong shook his head: "It's all my fault. I don't know how to face them."

"It's okay. Big things can be understood. This is not what you want to see. You brought them all back. If they sell them by themselves, they may not be able to come back in one piece."

Zhaizhu Zhong was not comforted at all after hearing this, and said: "I don't have any extra money at home, otherwise I can use it to compensate them. This time, Xiu'er and I are going to take out the money from selling mountain products to compensate them. A little bit is a little bit."

"Take mine out too." Baishu said hurriedly.

Xiu'er glanced at him, and when she saw him looking at her, she lowered her head again.

Su Qing'an couldn't interfere.

This was the idea of ​​​​Zhaizhu Zhong himself. If he felt that doing so would make him feel better, then let him do it. Maybe this would reduce some of the guilt in his heart.

After talking for a while, the Zhong village chief stood up and said, "I've decided to go on duty from tonight. I'll ask Qing'an to take care of the village's affairs in the future."

Ah?

"Why are you competing with young people for work? I'm old and can't stand the night." Su Qing'an advised.

But the Zhong village chief didn't listen and insisted on doing so. It seemed that only by doing this could he feel at ease.

Su Qing'an failed to change his mind. In the end, he watched Xiu'er and Baishu support him towards the village gate. He sighed deeply.

It's not easy to lead a team. There are people with their own little calculations everywhere.

After the three waves of people came back, the village became surprisingly quiet.

Originally, everyone in the village picked up a lot of mountain products this time. The first batch of people who sold them to Renzhou made a lot of money. They were happy and walked with the wind.

Who would have thought that those sold to Gongxi County and Baipi County would be so miserable.

Therefore, those who have gained money do not dare to be too proud, for fear of poking scars on others. So there was a strange atmosphere lingering in the village.

Then many people ran to the mountains every day, planning to find something more and save some money to sell it in the future, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable. The comparison is even more heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching.

Lu and Ruyi also ran to the mountains whenever they had free time. Both mother and daughter fell in love with the work of driving mountains. Life in the mountains is peaceful, and there is no need to worry. No matter how hard you work, you will gain as much as you want, and the lady also gives them all the money they get.

So they wanted to collect some more things to save for Xiaobao.

He also took Siyuan Siyuan with him. Within a few days, the four of them came back carrying a lot of tea fruits. The front and back yards were full of stalls, and there was no room to even put a foot down.

Xiaobao plays in the pile of tea fruits every day. Sometimes when he steps on it, he slips and falls on his butt, but he doesn't cry and enjoys it.

Su Qingyu, Mrs. Lu and others were all afraid that he would fall out, so they followed him every day.

He was told not to play in the pile of tea fruits, but he refused. The adults peeled the tea seeds and followed suit. He learned everything from the adults. There is never a moment of leisure.

Very energetic every day.
