"Okay, okay...

There are five empty rooms in the outer courtyard of the ancestral hall. I will gather the villagers from our brigade to the threshing ground and help you clean it out overnight."

The village chief was so excited that he was about to turn around and leave, fearing that Zuo Zixuan would suddenly change his mind.

"Ah, ah, ah..., Village Chief..."

When Cun was called, he was very nervous, thinking that Zuo Zixuan had really changed his mind.

"Xuanxuan, do you have any other requests?" the village chief asked tentatively.

"Hehe..., Village Chief, didn't you hear about my corruption?" Zuo Zixuan smiled wickedly and looked at the Village Chief.

The village chief quickly took two steps back, shaking his head like a rattle, "No, no, no... I didn't hear anything. I just came to deliver the certificate."

Zuo Zixuan reached out and patted the village chief on the shoulder, "No, you heard it..."

"Well, well, well..., I didn't mean it. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense." The village chief quickly expressed his opinion.

"No, that won't work. I don't believe it unless you help me find a place to hide the food." Zuo Zixuan shrugged.

The village chief hung his head and thought for a while, "I can't find anywhere to put it now. I really can't find a place other than the ancestral hall.

But we will have to make room for you to store medicine tanks for production purposes.”

"Xuanxuan, if you trust us, just put it in my cellar first." Widow Tian said in a low voice.

"The cellar at your sister-in-law Tian's house is big enough, there will be no problem at all." The village chief quickly chimed in.

"Okay, we will transport the grain in the second half of the night." Zuo Zixuan made the final decision.

During the entire process, the He family did not say a word. Zuo Zixuan could make whatever arrangements she wanted and they were responsible for the execution.

The village chief pulled Yu Changgui and hurried to the threshing ground to notify the villagers to gather.

“Village chief, He Xiaoer’s family is so bold that they dared to embezzle several tons of grain.

If I get caught, I'll probably have to eat peanuts."

On the way, Yu Changgui said with lingering fear.

"Old Yu, you must keep what happened tonight to yourself and never say anything.

If it weren't for the He family and several other families protecting our Guangze Island, our Guangze Island would have been looted long ago without leaving anything left.

What's more, Xiao Er's wife is a generous person.

She is willing to employ people on the island to find jobs for the villagers to supplement their family income, which is a great thing for us."

"Your girl has graduated from high school. She is currently idle at home, right? It's a good opportunity for you to talk to Xuanxuan and arrange a job for her. This will at least help to supplement the family income."

"I know, it's just between the two of us. How could I possibly go out and tell this to others?"

Yu Changgui knew exactly what the village chief said.

If Zuo Zixuan really did this pharmaceutical business in the name of the village collective, he would have the audacity to ask Zuo Zixuan for two places without the village chief saying anything.

Although I am not a formal employee in a large factory, it is good to be able to earn some money to supplement my family income.

The village chief gathered the villagers to the threshing ground with gongs and drums. Many people had already fallen asleep, and were very unhappy when the village chief pulled them out of their beds.

But he was also worried that it was something important, so he reluctantly got up, put on his clothes, and went to the threshing floor.

Everyone was unhappy at first, but when they heard the news announced by the village chief, they suddenly became excited.

Although the village chief advocates that everyone go out and contract work in the name of the village organization to supplement their family income, but they basically spend the whole year working in the fields. How can they have the time to go out and find work?

If the He family can do this now and give the villagers a chance, that would of course be the best.

The village chief still did as Zuo Zixuan said and announced that priority would be given to hiring disabled people who can take care of themselves and are good at doing things with their hands.

That is to say, the deaf and mute people, and those with foot disabilities who can go to the toilet by themselves, can do so.

The villagers have no objection to this regulation.

Firstly, there are not many disabled people in the village. Secondly, this is a good thing in itself, giving disabled people a way out, and everyone supports it.

After the matter was announced, the village chief found a few women to clean out the five rooms outside the ancestral hall, and arranged for a few young men to go to the He family and drag the medicine to the ancestral hall.

It was the middle of the night and everyone was very enthusiastic and awake.

The villagers who went to the He family expressed their gratitude to the He family profusely.

They also knew that even if the He family wanted to find someone to help, it would be impossible to use everyone in the village. But no matter who they used, they were grateful to the He family in their hearts.

This made the entire He family feel very guilty. They did nothing and all the decisions were made by Zuo Zixuan, but they became the objects of thanks.

They wanted to explain but were stopped by Zuo Zixuan.

Zuo Zixuan didn't want to expose herself, fearing that too much attention would reveal that she did not belong to this era.

The medicine jar was delivered smoothly.

After moving the medicine jars, He Chu asked the villagers to borrow two ox carts.

The He family is very popular on the island now. They can borrow anything they want, not to mention ox carts, they can even borrow people.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Wang Shun, together with the young people of the He family, quietly transported the grain to the cellar of Widow Tian's house and locked it.

Widow Tian put two locks on the cellar door and handed the key to Zuo Zixuan.

Zuo Zixuan did not shirk responsibility or be polite. He took the key, said thank you, and went back to rest.

After seven o'clock the next morning, a dozen people got off the boat and headed towards the He family in a mighty procession.

The person who took the lead was indeed Feng Yongjun, deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The He family also got up early today, had breakfast at six o'clock, and waited for the industrial and commercial department to come and cause trouble.

When they arrived at the door of the He family, Feng Yongjun exchanged a glance with the young man next to him.

The young man immediately went forward and knocked on the door, "bang bang bang", as if he was going to knock it down.

Seeing that the He family was slow to open the door, the young man raised his arms and prepared to knock on the door.

As a result, a gorgeous wheel rolled into the He family's yard.

"Ouch, ouch..." The young man fell on the bluestone slab, grimacing in pain.

"Which unlucky person is here to announce a death so early in the morning, banging on the door so loudly?

Is it the father who died or the mother who died?"

As soon as Aunt Zhang opened the door, she stood at the door with her hands on her hips and cursed loudly.

The dozen or so people standing at the door suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

The young man rolled over and got up from the ground, pointing at Aunt Zhang: "You, you, you bitch..."

Aunt Zhang looked the young man up and down, and asked in a cold voice with an unhappy look on her face:

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Whose son-in-law are you? What are you doing in our house?"

The young man immediately stood up straight, straightened his dark blue Zhongshan suit, and said proudly:

"I'm from the Industry and Commerce Bureau."

"What are people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau doing in our house?" Aunt Zhang asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"We received a report..."

"Xiao Zhang, what's the noisy thing outside?" Before the young man could finish his words, he heard Grandpa He's voice coming from the inner courtyard.

Feng Yongjun saw Grandpa He walking from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard with his hands behind his back, so he quickly walked up to him and took the initiative to greet him.

"Commander He, I'm Feng Yongjun, deputy director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Our bureau has received an anonymous report that you are producing fake drugs for profiteering.

So we came here early in the morning to conduct an investigation, and we hope the old leader will cooperate."

“Oh? Someone reported my family?

Cooperate, of course.

But you came to my house with such a large group of people, why do I feel like you are not here to investigate, but to raid my house?"

This was the time when the villagers went to work, and there was quite a bit of commotion at the He family's end. Everyone was carrying hoes and gathering at the gate to watch the excitement.

It would have been nothing at first, but when the villagers outside the door heard the words "house search", they immediately became alert and stared at the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau with a fierce look.

The dozen or so staff members from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau who were surrounded at the door were shocked when they saw this scene.

They haven't even entered the house yet. If we search the house, will they be able to come out safely?

Feng Yongjun also turned his head and glanced at the villagers surrounding them. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Old Chief, look at what you said, who dares to raid your house?

We really just came here to find out if this is true.”

Grandpa He looked Feng Yongjun up and down, squinting his eyes and said with a fake smile:

"Okay, how are you going to investigate?"

"If possible, could you let us go in for a walk?

Old leader, we absolutely believe that everyone in your He family is loyal to the people and the party.

We are just going through the process so that we can report the situation to our superiors when we return.

If someone slanders you, we will never tolerate those bad people who are causing trouble."

What Feng Yongjun said sounded quite nice.

But Grandpa He did sneer.

After going around in there, I'm afraid that even if my family doesn't engage in speculation or make counterfeit drugs, they will be able to find some evidence against me and accuse me of being a counter-revolutionary, right?

But if we don’t let them in, we might be charged with refusing to cooperate.

"Why is it so busy at the entrance today?" A powerful middle-aged male voice came from outside the crowd.

The villagers made way for the crowd.

The man was in his forties, about 1.85 meters tall, with a crew cut and a square face.

"Hey... isn't this Deputy Director Feng? What are you doing with all the fanfare today?"

"Oh, isn't this Director Tang? What are you doing here so early?" Feng Yongjun asked instead of answering.

“Hi, our factory has a medicine for traumatic injuries, which is produced in cooperation with the village on Guangze Island.

Because the sales are so good, I came here in person to urge them."

Tang Wenben said excitedly.

The sales of the bruises and sprains medicine made by the daughter-in-law of the He family were really good. The salesmen from the factory hardly went to the hospitals to introduce it, but the demand could not meet the supply.

Other hospitals also came to place orders for medicine. According to this trend, one-third of the profits of the entire pharmaceutical factory might come from these herbal medicines and ointments.

I received a call from my old boss yesterday, saying that someone had reported the He family and asked me to come over this morning to deal with it.

Although he didn't know which scoundrel did it, he would definitely not allow it if they wanted to cut off the financial resources of their pharmaceutical factory.

So early in the morning, before going to work, I ran to Guangze Island without stopping.
