366 No Ability
“Furthermore,” Chief Lu continued, “The purpose of building a workshop is to run a business, and one has to earn some money from it. Otherwise, what’s the point of running a business? Although they’re charging us, we would still profit at the end of the day. Did any of you stop to think about it like this? Huh?? We can sell more rice at the end of the day and it won’t go bad. We will earn more than before. That’s enough slander! Are you guys st*pid?!”
Many people were quick to agree with Chief Lu’s words. One after another, other people also spoke up.
“All you know how to talk about is gossip! No one is forcing you to go against that family! If you have the ability, make one yourself! ”
“Just wait and see. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of people coming here to remove the husk instead. Perhaps the rice shops in the town will send the rice to them to get rid of the hush. It’s not worth it to hire people and buy animal labor to slowly get rid of the husk.”
“Isn’t that so! If you have the ability, then do it yourself!”
“With fellow villagers like you, if I were to be rich, I’d rather not help you at all. Fellow villagers! Do you really want a rich family to give up all their money and make the workshop free for you just to make you happy? Is there such a good thing in this world?”
“I think it’s pretty worth it. Ten coins can get us sixty kilograms of rice. This will save us a few days of work! If I didn’t have any other work to do I’d do it myself, of course, I would save ten coins if I could. If I had work to do, I would rather send the rice to Dafu’s workshop. In any case, he would do whatever he thought was worth it. Wang Sufen, you really don’t have to say all this nonsense just because you’re jealous of them!”
“That’s right! She actually said that Dafu was black-hearted and greedy for money. How is he black-hearted? Why would he share the workshop that he built with us? Don’t you all want to earn money every day so that you can live a better life? If you can think of making such a workshop, would you want to share it?”
“That’s right! If I had the ability to make it, I would not be as generous as Dafu, that’s for sure!”
“There are so many shops in the town, and the things are so expensive, but you haven’t said that they are black-hearted and greedy. I think you are just jealous!”
“You are really shameless!”
“Wufu is right. You’re the most shameless person in town!”
Wang Sufen and the person who agreed didn’t dare to say another word.
Those who agreed were still fine. Although she didn’t dare to speak, her heart was still full of complaints. She still felt that since they were from the same village, they should get to use it for free.
In any case, she wouldn’t listen to anyone’s words. Everyone would always go against whoever had the minority vote. She had lived for so long and knew that this was no different from offending the public, so she tactfully didn’t speak again.
Chief Lu said a few more words before continuing to walk forward.
Everyone also walked forward. Wang Sufen was the only person that lagged behind the crowd and was throwing a tantrum. No one paid attention to her. She even muttered something that only she could hear, “I’m not st*pid, you guys are st*pid! If a rich family doesn’t accept a single cent, we can earn more! What a bunch of fools!”
What these people didn’t know was that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were not far behind them.
Li Hehua had already gone back before the village chief and the rest arrived, and seeing that Xue Yan was fine, she put Jiang Yue back to Xue Yan’s care.
Now that the workshop had nothing to do with Xue Yan, Xue Dafu had asked Xue Yan to bring Jiang Yue back after the village chief and the others left. He didn’t expect to hear these words.
