Soon, the news spread among everyone in the village. From then on, they could either find the boss to trade the water melons they grew, or they could only pick them and sell them at stalls in the town.
"Why? If Ruyi doesn't help my family connect with the boss, who will I sell all these watermelons to?"
"Didn't you hear? Zhao Dajun and his wife pointed at Ruyi's nose and scolded her, saying that she had unclear relationships with those bosses. Ruyi got angry and she won't help us sell the watermelons in our village anymore."
The villagers all shared the gossip they had heard today, and were furious when they learned that it was Zhao Dajun and the other man who ruined the matter.
The three brothers of the Tian family were so angry that they picked up manure and poured it directly at the door of Zhao's army.
"What are you two up to? You didn't patrol properly, and now you're depriving us of the opportunity to make money. If you keep spewing shit, I can't guarantee that I'll show mercy next time!"
After the three brothers left, Zhao Dajun and his wife just opened the door to see what was happening outside, but they were hit by a stream of slop again, which hit the front of the door.
"..."
"vomit!"
The man poured the swill and ran away.
Zhao Dajun and his wife angered everyone and they kept making trouble until late at night. People kept coming to the door and throwing rotten vegetable leaves and pig manure.
Of course, there are also some people who are smart and think that a water melon can only be sold for 200 coins like you, Zhong Ruyi. Why don’t I find a way myself?
By noon the next day, Zhao Dajun and his wife were forced to apologize to Zhong Ruyi under pressure.
Zhong Ruyi did not accept it. "It's not that I have to accept your apology. Apologizing is what you should do. This time I will teach you a lesson. I will not help you with those water melons at home. As for others, if you still want to be with me, come to my house to find me at night. If you don't want to, don't come."
This opportunity also allowed her to see clearly what the villagers were thinking. She had indeed been too self-righteous before. Maybe they even thought they had gained a great advantage from it.
Most of the people who came to see her at night were gone, and only a few were not there. She had an idea in her mind, and she agreed with everyone to keep the same price in the future and let them go.
Soon she found out who those people who didn't come to see her went to see.
Boss Wang sent someone to find her and told her that five people from the village had come to the inn to find him in her name, wanting to talk about the water melon.
Zhong Ruyi asked who they were, and they happened to be the ones who didn't come that night.
"...They are quite arrogant. They raise the price to five hundred coins each, relying on the fact that only your village has these water melons." Boss Wang smiled and shook his head. It seemed that those people really left a deep impression on him.
"Five hundred coins?" Zhong Ruyi smiled helplessly. These people were still a little naive.
Now all the water melons in the town are brought from Xinghua Village and sold, and the price is set at two hundred coins. Even if there really is someone stupid and rich who buys them once, so what? There are not many such people, but they grow a lot of them.
They went to find Boss Wang because they felt that if Boss Wang could do business with her, why couldn't he do business with them?
Maybe they even felt that Zhong Ruyi had taken advantage of them, but how could this be so easy?
She didn't want to care about these people's little thoughts anymore. No matter how much she did, they would always think the worst of her. They didn't even think about where the melons would come from for them to grow if she wasn't there.
They may not believe what Zhao Dajun's wife said, but they must be suspicious of the claim that she made a profit from it.
Soon, four out of five people came to her and asked her to help connect them with several bosses.
At that time, she was calculating the money for this month's jar for Li Zhi's father and didn't want to pay attention to them, so they just kept waiting.
"Last month, there were 7,000 cans, plus the transportation fee..."
After paying the money, Li Zhidie smiled awkwardly, "Boss Zhong, how much are your watermelons? I want to buy two to take back!"
Zhong Ruyi gave him the two largest ones, each weighing more than twenty pounds, and charged him only three hundred coins.
After the people left, she smiled ingratiatingly at the few people above her. She didn't show any impatience at all and talked to them with a smile.
After listening to them talking about this and that for a long time before getting to the point, Zhong Ruyi smiled apologetically, "Uncles and aunts, you know that I didn't get any benefit from helping the villagers, and I was still scolded by others. Please understand me and find someone else. I can't help you with this."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, and several people hurried forward to speak nicely to her.
Finally, she looked embarrassed, and nodded and agreed, pretending that she really couldn't do anything about you.
The few of them breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to themselves that Ruyi was a kind-hearted girl, and she agreed after they said a few nice words to her. Then why did they make a fuss before? Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
The last person left was Zhao Dajun, who was sitting in the guest room of Fulai Inn at this time.
The person sitting opposite was Boss Zhao. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently. The corners of his mouth drooped slightly and his eyes were fierce. However, he still pretended to be a good guy to deceive others.
He personally stood up and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Dajun, "Brother Dajun, please!"
Zhao Dajun took the cup of tea somewhat awkwardly, took a sip gently, but was burned by the scalding hot tea and stuck out his tongue.
Boss Zhao seemed not to notice his embarrassment and said with a smile, "I heard recently that Brother Dajun, you have encountered some problems?"
"Oh! Isn't it? It's all that bitch's fault!" Zhao Dajun seemed to have found a confidant in life, and told her everything about how Zhong Ruyi targeted him and how he was visited by the whole village and had feces thrown at him.
"It's a coincidence that we both have the surname Zhao. Maybe our ancestors are from the same clan." Boss Zhao deliberately tried to get closer to Zhao Dajun and spoke nicely.
Soon, under his sweet talk, she agreed to sell the 20 acres of melons she planted to Boss Zhao.
"We Wuzhou people have to be more cautious when doing business. What if you, brother Dajun, go back on your word and are unwilling to sell the melons to me? - Here are two sales contracts. Put your fingerprints on them so that I can feel at ease."
When Zhao Dajun heard that the price he offered was five hundred coins per piece, he was so happy that he did whatever he was asked to do.
He took the ink pad handed to him by a man with a scar on his face, pressed his finger on it, and then stamped his fingerprint on the contract.
He happily took one of the contracts home and showed it to his wife, "Five hundred coins! We have met a boy who gives away money!"
The contract clearly stated that the seller Zhao Dajun would provide the goods to the buyer Zhao Cunliang at a price of fifty cents each. Unfortunately, the couple were illiterate and thought they had really met a good person.
The couple was so happy that they almost went crazy. They told everyone they met that a big boss had wanted their watermelons, and the price was five hundred coins each.
No one in the village believed them and just thought they were dreaming.
But on the next day, when a horse-drawn carriage really arrived at Zhao Dajun's melon field to load melons, he began to be skeptical again.
"Is this true? Did a blind cat catch a dead mouse?"
"Take another look. Didn't they say that the money will be paid in cash? Just look at how much they give and you'll know!"
