The Abandoned Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 137 Hold a meeting

Shen Jing first called Li Zheng over to discuss this matter with him.

Not long after the autumn harvest, everyone must have some food at home, most of which are reserved for the corvee in the coming year, and now they can be directly exchanged for money in Shen Jing, and most of the village must be willing.

Shen Jing said again, "Uncle Lizheng, this chicken house needs a lot of food. I hope I can buy enough food in the village. If you need to exchange food for money, you can come to me at any time, or you can go to Brother Da Gang and Brother Lian."

Li Zheng nodded, "I need to call everyone to explain this."

"Of course, I can't force everyone on this matter, and ask them to volunteer."

Every village has its own way of gathering. In Qingshan Village, the center of the village is nothing more than Li Zhengjia.Lizheng's house is the best in Qingshan Village, even in terms of prosperity, it is also the center.

Li was beating a drum to inform everyone to gather under the tree in the center of the village at three o'clock.

This tree is the largest tree in the village, and it takes four people to embrace it to enclose it.It is already autumn, and the fallen leaves are piled up on the ground, a piece of golden yellow, matched with the blue sky like a curtain, it is beautiful like an oil painting.

Lizheng seldom informs everyone of his affairs. He is also loved by everyone in the village. Everyone arrives on time, even the Liu family.In addition, the patriarchs of several families also came.

This is what Lizheng specially wanted to notify.

Although some of the patriarchs of several families are stubborn, there are also some who know what is best for them.They have a very high status in the family, and when the time comes to help say a few words, their influence cannot be underestimated.

After everyone arrived, Li Zheng began to say, "Everyone knows the chicken coop that Brother Jing built under Niuxin Mountain, right?"

Everyone nodded to show that they knew. How could they not know about such a big battle and change?The location is in the village, and they are not fools!

"Now that the chickens have been bought, everyone knows that raising chickens requires food. Brother Jing's chicken coop is not the same as ours. Just raise a few chickens at home and finish the job. So many chickens need to eat a lot Grain, now he told me that he hopes to buy some grain in our village. The price is the same as that in the town, so you don’t have to go all the way to the town to sell it!”

Carrying food to sell every day is also very tiring, and Lizheng believes that this benefit will attract many people.

"I called everyone here to tell you about this! If you are willing to sell grain, you can go back and prepare it now, and start buying tomorrow!"

"Then who will weigh this food?" Someone asked, "If it is an ordinary person, we must not worry about it."

This is a problem, but it is not enough to worry Shen Jing, he said, "Everyone you think can be trusted can be recommended, and I will definitely not let everyone suffer."

Shen Jing is telling the truth, he is in this village, although he won't try to curry favor with them, but he must not make people unhappy, which is of no benefit to him.

Li Zheng nodded, "Who do you trust more?"

"Uncle Lizheng, you must be there!" Someone in the crowd said, "A few patriarchs, I wonder if any of you would like to help?" Except for Lizheng, the patriarch must be the most trusted person by everyone.But these families seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are still fighting openly and secretly. They all hope that their families will be better, and they must not let only one patriarch come.

Among several patriarchs, only the patriarch of the Liu family and the patriarch of the Li family can do arithmetic. Li Zheng belongs to the Li family. The patriarch Li said, "I won't go, I trust Li Zheng."

Then only the patriarch of the Liu family was left.

In order not to worry everyone, they elected another person with a foreign surname named Xiong Fei.

He has a good reputation in the village, and everyone is willing to believe him.The three people came to host together, and everyone was relieved at last.Li Zheng said, "Do you have any questions?"

"I have a question." Someone asked below.

"what happened?"

"Is there one price for all food? I mean one price, good or bad?"

This is a good question, Shen Jing really hadn't thought of this question before.

Shen Jing thought for a while, "All prices are based on the price in the town. Everyone knows what the price is in the town, right? Everyone can rest assured that I will never let everyone suffer."

Shen Jing didn't know exactly how many people would come the next day, but money had to be prepared, luckily the family already had enough money, so all he had to do now was go eat and get some coins back.

Definitely need some change for this purchase.

"Tomorrow morning at three o'clock, we will start buying in front of the chicken coop." Shen Jing thought for a while, "Now I want to count who are willing to sell to me."

If there are too many people, it is best to divert them to avoid queuing. Shen Jing knows that everyone has their own things to do, and they can't waste everyone's time because of this.

But after he asked this sentence, no one answered.

Shen Jing smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully. I was worried that if everyone came at the same time tomorrow, we would be very busy here and waste everyone's time, but I didn't expect such a short time now. It's not good for everyone to make a decision. How about this, we can't call everyone over again, why don't we divide it according to the region, those who are north of Rizheng's house come in the morning, and those who are south of Rizheng's house come in the afternoon. I don't want to either It was a waste of everyone's time, now everyone can go back and discuss whether you want to sell it to me."

Everyone nodded, most of them still have a good impression of Shen Jing, although sometimes they are jealous, but Shen Jing is capable, there is nothing they can do about it.

After everyone dispersed, Li Zheng stayed behind and asked Shen Jing what they were going to do tomorrow.

The patriarch of the Liu family was the one who appeared when Shen Jing left the Liu family last time. Everyone called him Second Uncle Liu. According to Shen Jing's seniority, he should be called Second Uncle Liu.

This second uncle Liu, Shen Jing has no contact with him, but from the last time, this person is not just a little biased towards the Liu family.

Let's hope he's fairer this time.

"The three of you need to help everyone look at weighing and calculating money. These two things seem simple, but they are actually very troublesome. At that time, you will have to trouble the three of you more!"

Xiong Fei has no contact with Shen Jing, but he has a very good relationship with Zhang Dashuan. He has heard a lot about Shen Jing from Zhang Dashuan, and he admires Shen Jing very much.

He said, "Brother Jing, you don't need to thank you, this is a hands-on thing, and it's not troublesome at all!"

Shen Jing smiled, and continued, "I still want to thank the three of you for your help. If you want to delay your whole day, the wages will be double that of our workers."

Shen Jing doesn't like to owe others things, giving money is one of the methods he thinks of at present, Li Zheng definitely doesn't want money, but he can't figure out their tempers for the other two.

"Brother Jing, what are you talking about!" Li Zheng sternly said, "You don't know much about me, what are you doing with the money, everyone is from the same village!"

Xiong Fei also responded, "That's right, brother Jing, we just need to contribute a little bit, it's not troublesome, and there's nothing to be busy with right now!"

Second Uncle Liu sneered, "Superficial!"

Shen Jing glanced at him faintly, smiled, and said, "Then I won't force the three of you, and I will trouble you all tomorrow."

After leaving Lizheng's house, Mrs. Liu Dagang and Mrs. Zhang Dashuan came and said, "Brother Jing, we want to tell you something."

"what happened?"

"We've already thought about it, you can't refuse us this time. We plan to give all the food at home to the chicken coop—" Seeing that Shen Jing was about to speak, Wang Xiuzhu quickly said, "Don't talk, this is Our two families discussed it, you gave us a lot of help, we can now say that we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, especially Brother Lian, he said he is very grateful to you. We all have enough money now, and we will all be in the future Your family works, and the food we collect doesn’t have to be used to pay corvees. It can just be used to raise chickens. Although it’s not much, it’s still part of it. Brother Jing, don’t count money with us! We all know how much you treat us For your care, this should be considered as our thanks to you!"

Shen Jing didn't expect them to do this at all.

But according to their character, it is reasonable to do so.

Shen Jing thought for a while, but in the end she didn't refuse. If she keeps refusing to accept what they offer, then this relationship will also deteriorate.

He hopes to make them feel that they are equal, and what they get now is not a handout from themselves.

Shen Jing nodded, "Then thank you."

Wang Xiuzhu smiled, "There is nothing to thank for this, we are the ones who want to thank you, and promised us."

Early the next morning, everyone was ready at the door of the chicken coop, waiting for the people who came to sell the grain.

For the sake of fairness, there is only one purchase point, and Lizheng, Xiong Fei, and Uncle Liu are all here.Shen Jing is in charge of settling the accounts.
