That afternoon, after his father got off the car in Ying City and took a shower, he went out to use the public phone to call home.
Bad news came!
On this day, for a village like Jiang City, it would be bad news for Xia Jianhua if he came back.
The elderly village chief jogged all the way to the Xia family's house.
Not long after, the grain-sunning field in front of the Xia family became a temporary village committee meeting.
People from the village rushed over one after another.
However, not all the villagers could enter the house now.
The Xia family's main house was only so big. The village chief, the village officials, and Master Xia were still inside.
Outside, Eldest Aunt happened to be bringing her two children back to her parents 'home today. Younger Aunt did not come today either.
Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and she needed to stay at home to rest.
In fact, there were only grandparents in the old house today. Of course, Grandma only made some tea for the officers in the house with a melancholic look on her face before entering the house.
In fact, Grandma was not good at acting. She was forced to put on a melancholic look now. It was true that she had hypnotized herself. Her son and son-in-law really had no way to guarantee a few minutes of melancholy.
When he was done, he entered the house and closed the door. He did not care about the outside and let his grandfather, the old boy scout who could coax the Japanese devils when he was still a little kid, perform.
"Sigh, that's all. Jianhua said that the feed factory is going to be reformed, and the profits are not good. Some of the workers are not working, so they don't want the fish and prawns anymore. My son's batch of goods is all in his hands.
He was worried sick. He had worked so hard for more than two months, and all the money he had earned this time had been exchanged for fish and prawns.
Sigh, the heavens have suffered for my Xia family."
Sitting on the bamboo chair, Grandpa had a worried look on his face. The words that came out of his mouth made the village cadre not know how to continue.
"How can this be? How can we just give up the feed factory in the city? At least we should take the goods from Jianhua and even the goods from our villagers. How can we do this now? There's no order at all.”
One of the village officials was furious. He had more than ten catties of dried fish and prawns at home, and they were still smoked until they weighed ten to twenty catties. These were the fruits that his two sons and he had gotten from other towns on bicycles over the past two days.
Now, he actually said that he didn't want them. Why did he want so many fish and prawns?
Eat it yourself?
Can you eat so much?
How long would the family eat?
Moreover, this could have been exchanged for ten to twenty yuan!
Now that you said it's gone, it's gone. He's also upset!
Of course, he wasn't the only one who felt uncomfortable.
Now, the Xia family's village officials and the people outside were all suffering. The entire village was very enthusiastic about getting fish and prawns every day. Some people even went to the neighboring county to get fish and prawns.
After more than two months, the wonderful life that had been improved by fish and prawns was actually going to end now?
In front of Grandpa Xia, the village officials could only complain about the company in the city.
Then, he asked if there was any way. At the very least, he had to collect this batch, or it would be best if he could collect the fish and prawns in the hands of every household.
However, some of the villagers who didn't go in weren't so polite. Some even said,
"We don't care what's going on in the city. It's Second Brother Xia who's making money. We sold it to him, and he asked us to get it. Now that we've done it, at least he has to take it from our family!”
"Hey, Lai Laowu, how can you say that? Teacher Xia has brought us a lot of money from collecting fish and prawns for the past two months. There are only fish and prawns for the past two days. Every family doesn't have much. If you don't want to collect them, then so be it. How can you still blame Teacher Xia? You really live up to your name!”
"What do you mean by my name? Big Head Wang, what do you mean?
I only went to get the fish and prawns because Second Brother Xia asked me to. If he doesn't let me do it, won't I feel uncomfortable sleeping at home?
Now that he doesn't want the fish and prawns, why should I keep them at home?
I don't eat that stuff!"
"Alright, stop arguing. Lai Laowu, bring your fish and prawns over. I'll take yours. If anyone else has the same idea, I'll take them too.
"My son thought that you guys were fellow villagers. In the past two months, other villages wanted to send fish and prawns, but we didn't accept them. Now that this matter has gone wrong, you guys came to cause trouble. I've finally seen through you!”
He didn't know when, but his grandfather was already standing at the door, shouting at Lai Laowu with a dark face.
All of a sudden, Lai Laowu, who was standing outside, felt a little awkward. However, he really lived up to his name.
"Alright, I'll send it over later!"
He did not stay any longer and left after saying this.
"What's going on with Lai Laowu?"
"How heartless. Uncle Xia, don't worry. We're not here to force you to collect fish and prawns. We just want to understand the situation. Since the fish and prawn business is gone, we won't do it anymore.”
"Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Xia. We didn't mean it like Lai Laowu. We're here to see the situation!”
There were still many villagers on the grain-sunning field, but none of them wanted the Xia family to take the fish and prawns they had.
The first reason was that the villagers were actually very pure by nature. Lai Laowu could only be said to be one or two weirdos in any village.
However, this did not represent everyone. Most people were still good in nature.
This was also one of the reasons why Master Xia, Xia Jianhua, and his uncles agreed to share the secret of how they had made a fortune.
It wasn't just because he wanted to make a good reputation for his family, but also because he really wanted to help the poor villagers.
