Chapter 269 Sunjia Village Begs Linshan Village to Buy Bricks
The villagers of Sunjia Village surrounded the village chief Sun, who had been hiding in the crowd, and kept urging him to come out and deal with the matter quickly, otherwise the people of Linshan Village would really have to leave, and who would they sell their bricks to then?
They knew very well that if the people in Linshan Village did not buy their bricks, their bricks would continue to be wasted. Now most people did not have enough food to eat, and they could not sell them for money and had no grain to store. What would they do this winter?
The head of Sunjia Village is a man who only knows how to take benefits but not do anything practical for the villagers. When he saw that things were not going well, he wanted to sneak away, but he was stopped by the villagers in advance.
He didn't dare to offend the crowd, so he had to bite the bullet and walk out of the crowd. He trotted to catch up with the village chief of Linshan Village and said with a smile: "Village Chief Chen, don't be angry! You can bargain in business. If you think our village's price is too high, you can tell us a price you can accept. These are all negotiable!"
"Village Chief Sun, didn't the people in your village say that yesterday?"
The village chief of Linshan Village pointed at Dazhudie and others and said.
After saying that, he looked at the village chief of Sunjia Village with a half-smile and said, "Wasn't Village Chief Sun at home yesterday? Why didn't the village chief come out to deal with the matter concerning the interests of the entire village, but instead a few villagers who claimed to be concerned about the interests of the villagers came forward?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Sun lied without blushing or breathing heavily, "Haha! I was feeling a little unwell yesterday and didn't know about this. Who knew that the villagers would cause such trouble? It's my fault as the village chief for not managing things well!"
Hearing his words, Sun Dazhu and the other thirty or so young men immediately became angry and shouted at the village chief: "Village chief, how can you say that? Didn't we discuss this matter with you? Why are you putting this on us? My father and several uncles just want us to sell more money so that we can spend the winter safely. They have never done such a thing in their daily business."
Dazhudie and other old men saw that their fellow villagers were looking at them with reproachful eyes, and the village chief pushed the matter onto them. They could not help but look at each other and laugh at themselves.
Dazhu's father stopped Sun Dazhu and other younger generations who were still talking and said, "Let's go home and let the villagers talk about their own affairs. Dad and your uncles will never do such things again, so as to avoid sleepless nights!"
He then told Sun Tieshuan that it was Sun Dazhui and others who were to blame for the attack on their family, and that there were still some eggs at home, so he would ask his son to bring them to him tomorrow to help him build up his body. After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his home.
In a short while, the few families who led the trouble in the afternoon were all gone.
The village chief of Sunjia Village was exposed. He smiled awkwardly, then regained his composure in an instant and pestered the village chief of Linshan Village to talk about selling bricks.
Lin Xi and others couldn't help but wonder how he got so thick-skinned!
"Village Chief Chen, for the sake of Goudan's mother, please collect the bricks from our fellow villagers in Sunjia Village!"
"Yes, Village Chief Chen, we don't want a high price, just the normal price, even if it's a little cheaper!"
"Our village can also deliver bricks to Linshan Village, so you don't have to work so hard pushing the cart back and forth!"
......
The village chief and villagers of Sunjia Village surrounded Village Chief Chen and made requests in a flurry.
Village Chief Chen first put on airs, then stroked his beard and said, "Wait a moment, I have to go and discuss this with the villagers. They were so angry this afternoon!"
"We should discuss it. After all, we are all buying bricks together!"
"That's right, that's right. Please ask Village Chief Chen to say a few good words for us. We were blinded by lard this afternoon. Please don't hold it against us!"
Seeing that everyone in Sunjia Village had a flattering smile on their faces, Village Chief Chen nodded at them and walked towards the villagers who were waiting not far away.
The village chief of Sunjia Village quietly called back Sun Tieshuan and Sun Tongshuan who were helping to push the carts from Linjia Village.
"Tieshuan, it's all because of those boys from Dazhu who are ignorant and actually attacked your family. Tomorrow I'll have my wife kill an old hen and bring it to you. Don't be angry with those kids."
Hearing what the village chief said, Sun Tieshuan said with a fake smile: "Village chief, Dazhu and the others have apologized to me, and I am no longer angry. You don't have to worry about it. Is there anything else? If not, I will go help the people in Linshan Village to push bricks!"
After Sun Tieshuan finished speaking, he winked at Sun Tongshuan. The two brothers turned around and were about to leave, but were stopped by the village chief and villagers.
Village Chief Sun smiled and said, “Tieshuan, Tongshuan, I see the people in Linshan Village have a good impression of you. Please go and speak to the villagers. If these bricks cannot be sold, the villagers will have no money to buy food. It’s not a big deal for us adults, we can still carry some, but the kids may have a hard time making it through the winter!”
The surrounding villagers also asked the two to help intercede. Seeing the village chief wiping his eyes hypocritically, Sun Tongshuan rolled his eyes and said to the village chief unceremoniously: "Village chief, you have to learn a lesson this time. When you encounter something, you must stand up and deal with it in time. Don't hide behind and don't show up!"
Village Chief Sun needed a favor from him at this time, so he did not refute his words. He nodded repeatedly and said that he would never do that again.
"Village chief, the two of us brothers will go and ask the villagers of Linshan Village for mercy. You wait here for a while!"
After hearing what Sun Tieshuan said, the village chief and villagers of Sunjia Village urged them to go quickly.
They stood there looking at the villagers of Linshan Village with uneasiness on their faces, and saw Sun Tieshuan and Sun Tongshuan bowing to the people of Linshan Village repeatedly, smiling and saying nice things to them.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Village Chief Chen followed Sun Tieshuan and Sun Tongshuan to the front of everyone in Sunjia Village.
Seeing that everyone looked uneasy, Village Chief Chen did not keep them in suspense and said directly: "The villagers in our village originally insisted on buying bricks from Dongjia Village, but for the sake of Goudan's mother and Goudan's grandfather's family, everyone reluctantly agreed to use bricks from your village. We will not take advantage of you and will still charge the same price as before. However, you have to deliver the bricks to Linshan Village in person. You will only have three days to do so!"
Hearing his words, everyone in Sunjia Village breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were willing to buy bricks from Sunjia Village, everyone agreed and promised to transport the bricks to Linshan Village as soon as possible.
"By the way, Village Chief Chen, I haven't asked you how many bricks you need to buy?"
"Oh! We in Linshan Village want all the bricks from your Sunjia Village!"
When they heard that they were going to buy all the bricks in their village, everyone's faces suddenly broke into smiles. One villager asked quietly, "Village Chief Chen, are you going to buy bricks from Dazhu and his family too?"
"Buy them, and let them deliver the bricks to Linshan Village with you!"
Village Chief Chen said without hesitation.
After hearing his words, the villager shouted happily: "Thank you, Village Chief Chen, I will go tell them now!"
After saying that, he ran towards the village.
Village chief Chen asked Sun Tieshuan and Sun Tongshuan to stay and not help them push the cart. Then he said goodbye to everyone in Sunjia Village and left Sunjia Village with the people from Linshan Village.
They only need to make this one trip tonight, and the rest will be delivered by the people from Sunjia Village.
