At this moment, the ground behind the entire Qingshan Village was filled with people.
Today is the day when bosses from the city come to the village to collect fruits and vegetables. Everyone has prepared farm tools early and is waiting on the ground for the second-level dealers to come to the field and set prices to buy them on the spot.
Jinmei and Lin Dashan have been waiting for a good harvest for a long time.
If the watermelons from these three acres of land were sold at last year's price, they would cost at least 10,000 yuan.
The annual income is about 10,000 yuan, which is already a very good income for the villagers of Qingshan Village. In addition to daily household expenses, there are still several thousand yuan left to buy medicine for Li Xiaoran.
So early this morning, Jin Mei urged Li Dashan to take farm tools to her three-acre watermelon field.
But as soon as they arrived at the field, they saw that the big watermelon that had grown well yesterday had been ruined. At least half of the watermelon had been trampled into pieces and was in a mess.
When Jin Mei saw this scene, she sat softly on the ground, holding the broken watermelon and crying loudly.
Li Dashan was also frightened.
He could only go home and ask Yang Chen to come over and take a look.
The other neighbors in the field were attracted by the sound of Jinmei and gathered around. Looking at the watermelon that was ruining the ground, they all had expressions of pity on their faces.
"His Aunt Jinmei, any family would be unlucky if something like this happened to them. Look at this, whether their animals have entered the watermelon field."
Among the onlookers, Aunt Wang next door came out helplessly and said.
"Yes, we should pack it up. The village chief just shouted on the radio that the second-level dealer in the city will be here soon. If he sees this, he will probably have to lower the price, and he may not want it anymore."
"It's just that Wang Hu is not easy to mess with. If he says he doesn't want it, then he won't want it. Wouldn't that year be wasted?"
"Everyone, let's help together. It has been really hard for Lao Li's family these past few years. Something happened to his daughter and daughter, and this year's harvest is a problem. God is really short-sighted."
Several well-meaning neighbors in the village came to try to persuade him.
"Wang Hu?"
Yang Chen, who was standing aside, slowly stepped forward, and gently placed his right hand on the back of Jin Mei, who was out of breath. The soft Qi was transported into her body, dredging Jin Mei's Qi and blood.
After Jin Mei's energy and blood stabilized, Yang Chen suddenly captured a key piece of information from Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, this Wang Hu you are talking about is..."
"The second-level dealer in the city comes to the village specifically to collect fruits and vegetables. He has harvested our crops over the years. The price he gives us is much lower than if we sell them in the county town ourselves. But it is said that this Wang Hu is
We dare not say anything when we follow some big brother in the county town. But having income is better than having nothing. What can we farmers do to others?"
Aunt Wang mentioned Wang Hu and let out a long sigh.
The other villagers' eyes also began to dodge, obviously they were a little afraid of Wang Hu.
"Oh, I'm so angry. My watermelon, how will our family survive this year?"
Jin Mei kept beating her chest, tears falling down, and her face turned pale with anger.
Li Dashan was smoking a cigarette on the side, his eyes were also anxious, and he didn't know what to do.
"Mom, don't be angry yet. These watermelons are not insurmountable. I will find a way. At worst, I can borrow a farm truck someday and take the watermelons to the county town with my dad to sell them."
Yang Chen looked at Jin Mei's heartbroken look and couldn't help but comfort him.
"I want to see who is brave enough to go to the city to sell watermelons? I, Wang Hu, have told you before that the fruits and vegetables in several nearby villages belong to me, Wang Hu!"
At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers.
Everyone turned around after hearing the sound, and when they saw Wang Hu and others walking slowly, they were so frightened that they moved out of the way.
"Hey, aren't these Uncle Li and Auntie? This must be the famous door-to-door son-in-law in Qingshan Village."
"Uncle Li, I think you should advise your son-in-law to use his brain when speaking and doing things, and not to cause unnecessary trouble. Without me, Wang Hu, who has personally come to your village to collect your fruits and vegetables over the years, these things of yours would still be rotten.
Mold in the ground?”
Wang Hu squinted his eyes, his gaze fell on Yang Chen, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle, stop talking. Let's consider ourselves unlucky. We can't afford to offend Wang Hu."
Li Dashan's expression changed when he saw Wang Hu showing up with a few arrogant gangsters.
In the entire Qingshan Village, no one is not afraid of Wang Hu, even the village chief is no exception.
In the past two years, he had personally seen Wang Hu block the entrance to the village and beat Lao You, who was about to secretly take his cabbage to the county town to sell, until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Jin Mei, who was sitting on the ground and crying, also wiped her tears and stood up with the help of Li Dashan. Jin Mei, who was usually grumpy, looked a little scared in front of Wang Hu.
"Uncle Li, this is... it's all rotten. It's such a pity. In the past, your watermelon was the sweetest. I was thinking of giving you a dime per pound of watermelon this year. I'm afraid it looks like this.
Difficult."
Wang Hu turned his eyes and looked at the messy watermelon field, and said with some shock.
"How did our watermelon patch become like this? Doesn't Boss Wang know?"
The moment Yang Chen saw Wang Hu, he understood what was going on in the watermelon field.
He was beaten violently by him at the entrance of the village yesterday, and Wang Hu held a grudge.
Yang Chen knew that gangsters like Wang Hu would definitely take revenge.
But he didn't expect that Wang Hu was still doing business as a second-tier dealer. He was often called a village tyrant in the village, monopolizing the purchase of vegetables and fruits in Qingshan Village and several surrounding villages.
The rotten watermelon on the ground was most likely the work of Wang Hu and his men last night.
Yang Chen's eyes darkened, he slowly clenched his fists together, raised his head and said coldly.
"Look at what you said, your watermelon field has been ruined by animals, are you still going to kill me on my head? I, Wang Hu, am not a vegetarian, and I can't be dumped on me by any shit basin! Boy, you
You'd better be careful what you say. Don't think that you can frame me casually because you have some skills. I, Wang Hu, may not be your opponent, but as long as I say a word, let alone these rotten watermelons from your Li family, the vegetables and fruits of the entire Qingshan Village
I don’t want any.”
"I want to see if there is any second-rate dealer who dares not to give me Wang Hu face and come to your village to collect vegetables and fruits!"
"Maybe, your entire village's vegetables and fruits will be ruined like your family's. Don't beg me then."
Wang Hu looked at Yang Chen, clenching his fists tightly, and his back teeth were trembling with anger.
Being beaten up at the entrance of the village yesterday was a personal insult to Wang Hu.
After thinking about it after returning home, I came up with a way to destroy Li Dashan's watermelon patch, thinking to calm myself down first.
really.
Arriving early this morning, Wang Hu felt so happy when he saw the embarrassment all over the place.
Seeing Wang Hu showing off his power and decisiveness, the other villagers immediately panicked when they heard this.
Wang Hu does what he says. If he doesn't collect, he really won't dare to come to the village to collect. Then his annual income will rot in the fields. This is a nightmare for the villagers who rely on the fields for their livelihood.
Same blow.
"Oh? Really? I didn't expect Boss Wang to have such ability."
"It's okay if you don't brag. If you brag, I really want to try Boss Wang's skills!"
Yang Chen glanced at the villagers who were whispering and starting to panic. He took a step forward and an overwhelming aura suddenly burst out from his body.
