"If they are so arrogant, won't the town's sheriff just ignore them?"

Miranda asked angrily.

"Huh, Sheriff? They have long been bribed by those gangs. Without their indulgence, do you think these gangs would dare to walk around like this?"

Old Tom said angrily.

"But if they are so arrogant, no one can control them?"

Miranda asked in disbelief.

"Who dares to take care of it? The last one who dared to resist was burned to death in the house by his whole family."

Old Tom shook his head and sighed.

"How could this happen?"

Miranda murmured to herself.

"What can you do?"

Miranda turned to look at Zhang Tuohai. She had no choice but to count on Zhang Tuohai.

"I do have a few plans, but this is not just my own business. It requires everyone to work together. Otherwise, even if I help everyone get the fruit back, everyone will not be able to keep it, right?"

Zhang Tuohai said.

It's okay to ask him to help, but he can't just do it by himself. Moreover, he also has his own purpose and needs these people to help him.

"Do you really have a way?" Old Tom looked at Zhang Tuohai with eyes full of light. He had had enough of this kind of life.

"Of course, but it's not enough for me. I need help from many people. I hope to gather the surrounding farmers and pool their efforts together. In this way, the probability of success will be much higher.

”

Zhang Tuohai said.

"That's no problem." Hearing this, Old Tom patted his chest and replied, "I grew up in this area. I am familiar with every farm. I will call them all in the afternoon."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Zhang Tuohai nodded.

"I'm going to cook for you. You must be hungry after such a long time."

Old Tom said, turned around and entered the kitchen to cook.

"My uncle's cooking is very delicious. I must try more of it later."

Miranda poked Zhang Tuohai with her arm and said.

"Really? Then I'm still looking forward to it."

Zhang Tuohai is interested.

However, after a while, Old Tom came out with three plates of instant pasta and placed them on the table: "There's nothing to eat, so just make a living."

"Uncle, are there any tomatoes? I remember the tomatoes here are delicious."

Miranda felt a little unbelievable. Her uncle was very generous. When guests came to the house, he would always bring out the best, but it took him a long time to make instant pasta, which made her a little unbelievable.

"All the tomatoes have been taken away by United Fruit. All the farms have signed agreements with them, and they are not allowed to grow vegetables privately. The only few farms that are allowed to grow vegetables have also signed purchase agreements. All vegetables and fruits

They are all shipped to lighthouse countries for sale and are not allowed to be marketed locally. In the current market, there are only these fast food products sold in lighthouse countries."

Old Tom said helplessly.

"How could this happen?" Miranda felt a little unbelievable when she heard Old Tom's words.

She really couldn't imagine that people could be so bad.

Forced to sign agreements, raise water prices, lower avocado purchase prices, forced purchase of fruits and vegetables, dumping cola and fast food, if this continues for a long time, the health of the people here...

"Don't think about it, you all have diabetes." Old Tom fiddled with the spaghetti on the plate.

"What about insulin?"

"It's very expensive, and it's also very rare." Old Tom said helplessly, "At least I'm lucky here and can still buy a few. The pharmacies in other towns are basically distributors of Coke, selling it to people with diabetes.

Man's healing product is Coke."

Old Tom threw the fork in his hand onto the plate: "I won't eat it. I'm going to find them now."

With that said, Old Tom picked up his hat and walked outside.

"Sorry..."

Miranda didn't know what to say, so she apologized to Zhang Tuohai.

"It doesn't matter, it's not your fault in the first place."

Zhang Tuohai rubbed Miranda's head and comforted her.

"Let's eat it first, deal with one bite, and wait for the evening. I'll see if I can get something else."

Zhang Tuohai said.

Old Tom worked very quickly and quickly found all the farmers around him.

A group of people are sitting around.

"We are all here, what can we do?"

An old cowboy asked impatiently.

"If my calculation is correct, you are facing two difficulties now," Zhang Tuohai raised his finger, "The first one is your current predicament of water shortage, and the second one is the problem of being troubled by gangs."

"Yes, which one do you have a solution for?"

the old cowboy asked.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can solve it."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"It can be solved? How is it possible?" The old cowboy said in disbelief, "We have tried dozens of methods, but none of them have solved it. You can actually solve it, what are you going to do?"

"What I do is my business. What I ask of you is very simple, which is to fully cooperate with me."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"Of course, I know you definitely don't believe me now, so I will do something iconic first to prove my ability, and then you will decide whether to believe me or not. What do you think?" <

/p>

Zhang Tuohai said.

Dozens of old cowboys looked at each other and nodded. For them, Zhang Tuohai was the last straw. If they didn't seize this opportunity, the gang would force them into bankruptcy and they would have no retreat.

"Okay, we have decided to trust you once. What support do we need to provide?"

an old cowboy asked.

"It's very simple. It was Viper who came to blackmail you just now, right? Where is the headquarters of this organization? Just tell me the address."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"So simple?" an old cowboy asked in disbelief.

"It's that simple. I'm going to show my sincerity, and I hope I can get your sincerity in the future." Zhang Tuohai said confidently.

"This, I know, is at No. 233 Helu Street, Straw City. My son works at the car wash opposite."

An old cowboy said.

"The straw becomes Helu Street, right? Do you know the way?"

Zhang Tuohai turned to Miranda and asked.

"I know, I went to elementary school and middle school there. There is also a beautiful lake outside the city. I like to feed the wild ducks there."

Miranda showed a look of recollection.

"It's a pity that Crystal Lake is gone." An old cowboy said regretfully.

"Yes, since the dam was built, Crystal Lake has completely dried up, and there is no place for fishing anymore." Another old cowboy said, "I haven't fished for many years."

"Very good, let's go to Straw City now." Zhang Tuohai stood up and said.
