"What happened?" Mo Chen stood at the entrance of the courtyard and asked as he glanced at the surrounding villagers.

The faces of these villagers are all very familiar to him. They are all villagers who help pick lychees.

Of course, help is help, and Mo Chen still has to pay them wages.

Because it was true that he could not pick hundreds of acres of lychees by himself, Mo Chen agreed to let the villagers pick them.

The noisy voice suddenly quieted down.

A mean-looking middle-aged woman stood up.

She said rudely: "Boss Mo, I heard that you can't sell lychees this year. We have been picking lychees for you for several days. Is it time to settle the bill?"

"You're not going to imitate the evil bosses outside and prepare to default on our money, are you?"

At this time, the round-faced aunt standing by said angrily: "Aunt Mei, with just a few hundred yuan, Brother Chen can do without you.

Moreover, we won’t be able to sell lychees this year, and it will be difficult for Brother Chen.”

"It's none of my business if I can't sell lychees. It's not difficult for anyone to live. I have to be paid for my work. This is a matter of course." Aunt Wang said with flying saliva.

"Everyone thinks so!"

Some of the villagers started to boo, while others bowed their heads and remained silent.

Mo Chen frowned. He remembered that he didn't tell the villagers about this. How could it be exposed?

At this time, a girl with a high ponytail and delicate features shouted: "Everyone, be quiet. It is illegal to delay wages. Mo Chen will not break the law."

Aunt Mei also reacted and shouted: "It is illegal to delay wages, we can sue him!"

"That's right!"

"If you don't pay, sue him."

Xia Qianqian was stunned for a few seconds, then shook her head quickly and said: "No, no, you have to have evidence before you can sue. You have to pay attention to evidence."

Aunt Mei looked at Xia Qianqian and thought that this girl was really a good person, and reminded her to collect evidence.

"If we have evidence, everyone can testify."

The round-faced aunt on the side grabbed Xia Qianqian, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "You are not going to help Brother Chen, why are you reminding them?"

Xia Qianqian looked puzzled and said, "Aunt Wang, I'm just helping Mo Chen."

Mo Chen also heard Xia Qianqian's words, and he finally understood how she sent the accuser in.

This is really the talent of Wolong.

Aunt Wang looked at Xia Qianqian, she really couldn't figure out how her head grew.

"Aunt Mei, we are all from the village, how can you do it just for that little money?

Besides, you never brought lychees home every time you picked them. Did Brother Chen say anything to you?

You have to be conscientious as a human being, and folks, don’t add insult to injury."

Many villagers lowered their heads. They really shouldn't.

"Well, it's not much money. I don't want it anymore. If you still want to help with picking, just call me." A short old man sandwiched in the middle said.

"Yeah, I came over to help and didn't want to ask for money. Mo Chen insisted on giving it."

"I didn't come here to ask for money."

The villagers spoke one after another to express their attitude.

Aunt Mei and the others were in a dilemma, but she still said: "Huh, if you don't want the money, I want it. If you don't give it to me, I will stay here and not leave."

Mo Chen also spoke at this time: "Dear fellow villagers, I will not give you any less money for picking lychees these days.

But it’s true that I can’t afford much money now, but as long as the lychees are sold, the money will be doubled to everyone.

Of course, I will try my best to satisfy those who want money now."

He really doesn't have much money now, so he spends all his money on contract fees, fruit seedlings, etc., and it happens to be that the lychees are unsalable, which is really unlucky.

But now that he has space in his backpack, he doesn’t have to worry about the lychees rotting. He can wait until there are less lychees in the market before selling them.

You can definitely make money, it’s just a matter of time.

That's why he dared to promise to give double the money.

Aunt Mei showed a sarcastic expression and said: "The lychees are on the streets and cannot be sold at all. He is just lying to you."

Mo Chen said coldly: "Believe it or not, if you want money now, you can come and register, and I will pay you the money now."

Some villagers hesitated for a long time and finally followed Aunt Mei.

There were also villagers like Aunt Wang who did not come forward.

"Mo Chen, let me help you register." Xia Qianqian took the initiative to step forward.

"Do you really have the money to give them? In fact, I have saved some private money and can lend it to you." She looked worried and asked in a low voice.

Mo Chen felt a little warm in his heart when he looked at Xia Qianqian, who had fair skin and looked like the jade girl next door.

This little girl who once only followed him with a runny nose seems to have grown up.

Mo Chen and Xia Qianqian are neighbors, and her mother passed it on. Xia Qianqian has been ostracized since she was a child, and she only has Mo Chen as a friend.

They were childhood sweethearts, but Mo Chen generally regarded her as his younger sister, yes, the wronged sister.

"No, you can keep it." Mo Chen calculated and it was enough.

"Really? You won't lie to me again, right?" Xia Qianqian said in disbelief.

"Why are you lying to me? Will I be polite to you?"

Xia Qianqian was doubtful and kept staring at Mo Chen's eyes.

Because Mo Chen told her when she was a child that people would not dare to look at each other when they lie, so she always believed it.

Only after Mo Chen paid off all the registered villagers' money did Xia Qianqian believe Mo Chen.

After receiving the money, Aunt Mei and the others left proudly, saying as they walked: "I can't sell these lychees."

"Hey, Brother Chen, you don't need to give us any money. We all know that you are in trouble." Aunt Wang sighed after seeing Aunt Mei and the others leaving.

"Yes, we also took a lot of lychees, so there is no need to pay us."

"Also, if you still want help, you can come to us for free."

Mo Chen smiled and said: "Don't bother everyone, the lychees are almost finished picking, so there's no need for you to come over."

Now that the orchard in his back mountain has become a treasure, Mo Chen still wanted to hide it, but he didn't expect this to be such a coincidence.

"Don't worry, the lychees will definitely be sold, and the money will be given to everyone when the time comes."

Aunt Wang and the others just thought Mo Chen was comforting everyone and didn't take it seriously. They all smiled and left.

In the end, only Xia Qianqian was left.

"Why don't you leave?" Mo Chen asked.

Xia Qianqian pouted and said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "You still want to drive me away, so I will stay for dinner."

"The older I get, the more shameless I become. In the past, I didn't even dare to enter my house." Mo Chen shook his head.

"What? Uncle said that if I want to come for dinner, I'm welcome at any time."

Xia Qianqian suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm stupid and brought up your sadness."

"It's good to know, just don't bother me." Mo Chen yawned and said with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Damn it, I care about you so much, can't you just say something humane?" Xia Qianqian clenched her fists, wishing to punch Mo Chen.

"Thank you for your concern. Please don't bother me. I'll thank God."

"How could I be a disservice? I only let it slip about the contract to help you..." Xia Qianqian realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth.

"No, just listen to my excuses. I really want to help you."

The truth was revealed, but Mo Chen felt that Xia Qianqian had done him a favor, and the secret of the treasure land would not be discovered.

Mo Chen said calmly: "It's okay, I forgive you."

Xia Qianqian stomped away angrily: "It's so sad. I'm angry and don't want to talk to you anymore."

He was stunned. He didn't mean he had forgiven her, so why was he still angry?

A woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea.

"Forget it, I have a space backpack, so I'm not in a hurry to sell the lychees. Let's first see what changes have occurred in the orchard after a day." Mo Chen then headed towards the back mountain.

What he didn't know was that Xia Qianqian was not far outside the door.

"He came over to apologize and I forgave him." Xia Qianqian deliberately slowed down and pretended to leave.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for Mo Chen. Finally, she left in frustration and said, "TV dramas are all lies."

At this time, Mo Chen came to the orchard on the back mountain. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears.

A bee as big as a cicada flew past his eyes.

Mo Chen rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.
