That night, when Lu Zhiyong returned home, he heard Li Yuelan say that Lu Hai was going to build a new house.

After all, this was the production team era, and once Jiang Lanqing told the team about this matter, basically everyone knew about it.

Now we just have to wait for the construction to officially start.

"Lu Hai has made a fortune and is showing off his wealth. I heard that he wants to build a brick house. He paid the deposit for the bricks today. Once the brick factory in the city delivers the bricks, he will start construction." Li Yuelan kept talking while picking vegetables.

Especially there was some resentment in his tone. After all, Lu Hai was still a second-rate person in the village. Now he has become rich and can even live in a brick house.

Look at the other people in the village, who doesn’t live in adobe houses?

Are you special?

At this time, Li Yuelan happened to see Lu Zhiyong who had just returned home, so naturally she couldn't avoid scolding him.

"Tell me what's the use of you? If you can't find a way to sell things with Lu Hai, what's the use of you?"

"If you can take over Lu Hai's business, we will be the ones building the brick and tile houses now. Do you understand?"

The more Li Yuelan thought about it, the angrier she became. These two were both second-rate people before, so how could there be such a big difference between them?

He was asked to go to the city, and he didn't even know how to sell things following Lu Hai. He originally wanted to seize the opportunity and then send Lu Hai in.

This way, they can make a lot of money.

But now, since we haven’t found a way in, we naturally can’t send Lu Hai in.

After all, by selling it to Lu Hai, he could earn a few dollars a day.

In the production team, working under the sun and wind, bending over and sticking out our buttocks for a whole day, we only earned a few work points? How much money was that?

If this is sent to jail, how can I earn so much money?

Now they can finally have meat for every meal, and they don't want to miss this day.

However, seeing Lu Hai busy building a new house, moving into a new home, and living a good life, they really felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyong's eyes turned and he thought of a solution. "Mom, we really haven't found a way out now, but Lu Hai makes so much money, and he only gives us 10 cents per pound. Isn't he making too much?"

"I saw that day that Lu Hai received a thick stack of money, at least a thousand yuan, but he only gave us this little. We can ask him to raise the price!"

"Let him give us 20 cents per pound!"

When Li Yuelan heard this, she immediately became excited, "Did you really see it?"

"Yes, that thing, the stack is so thick!" Lu Zhiyong said and compared the thickness with his hand.

"This little bastard, he makes so much money, but he only gives us this little. Aren't you afraid of being too full?" Li Yuelan was immediately angry. "Let's go, let's go quickly. They are still collecting loaches. We have to take advantage of the crowd and ask him to raise the price!"

After saying that, he even picked the vegetables and walked angrily towards Lu Hai's house.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiyong hurried to follow.

Since we haven't seized the opportunity, we'll just try to make as much money as possible.

He just didn't believe that with so many people around, Lu Hai would still not give in.

I charge 20 cents per pound, and it’s easy to catch 50 pounds a day, which means I can earn 10 yuan a day.

This month I earned more from working in the fields than I did in the previous year.

When Lu Zhiyong thought of this, he was secretly proud of himself, thinking that it was thanks to his cleverness.

Not only did it provide a good idea, but it also saved me from a lot of complaints.

Ever since Lu Hai became rich, Li Yuelan has been spending more and more time talking about herself at home.

Naturally, Lu Zhiyong's resentment towards Lu Hai became deeper and deeper.

Looking at the backs of the mother and son leaving, Uncle Lu Hai didn't know what to say.

In the end, he could only sigh and continue sitting by the door, puffing on his pipe.

Cowardly and cowardly, it seems to be the most appropriate word to describe him...

......

......

The two families lived not far from each other, otherwise when Lu Hai brought meat back for the first time, Li Yuelan would not have smelled the scent and come to their house.

So, not long after, Li Yuelan and her son arrived at Lu Hai's house.

Lu Hai, who had been weighing the villagers, naturally saw Li Yuelan coming over excitedly.

I was originally wondering what had happened to Li Yuelan today. Just as I was about to ask her something, I heard Li Yuelan scolding me.

"Lu Hai, have you lost your conscience? We are all from the same village. Do you feel comfortable making so much money from us?"

Lu Hai and Jiang Lanqing, who had been busy weighing, were immediately confused when they heard this.

When did your family start making money from your fellow villagers?

Even the people who were waiting to be weighed turned around and looked over.

Everyone was wondering what happened to Li Yuelan today. Why did she suddenly come over and say this?

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Li Yuelan immediately spoke to everyone,

"Fellow villagers, my son Lu Zhiyong had something to do yesterday morning, so he also went to the city. He accidentally saw Lu Hai carrying these seafood we sell to the city to sell."

"We are all from the same village, so my Zhiyong wanted to help. But at this moment, Zhiyong saw Lu Hai taking such a thick stack of bills from those people in the city!"

After saying that, he measured the thickness around him.

Seeing so many, the villagers were also surprised.

It can be said that no one present had ever seen so much money.

Seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, Li Yuelan was secretly proud of herself, letting you, kid, have the meal all to yourself!

"Zhiyong estimated that this is at least a thousand dollars. Lu Hai made so much money in one trip, but he only gave us ten cents per pound. Do you think his conscience has been eaten by a dog?!"

Li Yuelan widened her eyes and stared at Lu Hai.

She had thought about it on the way here. If she asked Lu Hai to raise her price privately, he would definitely not be happy.

Therefore, it would be best to get the whole village together to put pressure on Lu Hai.

Moreover, if the salary increase was only for himself, Lu Hai would only earn a few dollars less every day, which was insignificant to Lu Hai.

In addition, Li Yuelan couldn't bear to see Lu Hai living a good life, so she simply told him about it.

Although Li Yuelan is narrow-minded, she has a very flexible mind.

Even Lu Hai had to admire Li Yuelan.

When everyone around heard this, they looked at Lu Hai with something a little strange in their eyes.

They were quite grateful to Lu Hai before, and when they heard Lu Hai say he wanted to build a house, they thought about coming over to help.

But, the next moment, I heard Li Yuelan's words.

So you made all the money for building the house from us?

How dare you attack this fellow villager!

Suddenly, everyone began to express their dissatisfaction.

"Haizi, if that's the case, then what you did was not right."

"Yeah, you make so much money, but it's unreasonable to only give us so little!"

"Yes, we are all from the same village. Does Uncle Guofu know that you did this?"

"..."

Listening to the villagers talking about Lu Hai's faults, Li Yuelan suddenly became excited.

Isn’t this the result you want?

So, Li Yuelan stood up again and said, "Fellow villagers, in my opinion, Lu Hai was blinded by greed for a while. Now as long as he repents, that's enough. Don't you agree?"

By now, everyone knows what Li Yuelan wants to do.

However, these things are beneficial to oneself and can make more money, so why not do it?

So they all echoed,

"Correct!"

Seeing that everyone supported her, Li Yuelan turned around and looked at Lu Haidao.

"Lu Hai, I've also calculated this huge sum of money. This pound of seafood costs at least 30 to 40 cents per pound in the city. You made so much money in the past two days, so we won't say anything."

"Look at you. You do nothing every day but weigh things for us. You don't seem tired. In my opinion, it's pretty good for you to earn five cents per pound. After all, the daily volume is so large. Five cents per pound means you can make dozens or even hundreds of dollars a day."

"But, look at us. We have to work in the fields every day and are exhausted. Besides, the seafood you sell is all caught by all of us. Is it too much to give us 30 cents per pound?"

On the way here, Li Yuelan also thought that the difference between these two cents and three cents was too big, and Lu Hai must spit it out.

Moreover, I just need to weigh myself every day and make dozens or hundreds of dollars by going to the city. This is much more comfortable than what they have.

Besides, with so many people putting pressure on her, Li Yuelan is not afraid that Lu Hai will not agree. If he does not agree, then no one will make money.

Even if Sanmao didn't agree, everyone could discuss it and finally negotiate it down to 2 cents per pound, which was within Li Yuelan's expectations.

At this time, Li Yuelan seemed to have become the leader. No one had any opinions. Li Yuelan looked at Lu Hai closely, waiting for Lu Hai's answer...
