Quickly wear a chapter to end

Pingtou Village is vast and sparsely populated. In response to the call, the villagers planted peaches all over the mountains. With the careful care of the villagers, the peach trees have yielded a good harvest today.

But problems also followed. Not only their village planted peaches, but other villages also planted peaches, and the yield was good.

As the price of peaches fell, the villagers were faced with not only a lack of money to earn, but also a lack of ways to sell their peaches.

The original owner started a business in Province A and achieved some success, but was called back to solve problems in the village.

She was busy running around, building up connections at all levels, and found a cannery to purchase peaches in large quantities at the price of three yuan per pound.

Originally, she used her connections, mobilized relationships, smiled, and gave gifts, and it was normal for her to charge a dollar as an intermediary fee to smooth the relationship.

But some people felt that the original owner was not honest and was earning the hard-earned money of the villagers. So they joined forces with the villagers to block the original owner, asking him to apologize and return the difference to the villagers.

The original owner was like a top scholar meeting a soldier. He had no way of explaining himself, and with the instigation of the new college student Yang Tao, the original owner could only accept the loss.

Later, Yang Tao had an argument with the people in the cannery and wanted to sell the peaches to them at half the price of cans, but was thrown out by the cannery.

At this time, the peaches that had been piled up began to rot, and the peaches hanging on the trees for sale were also ripe. Not only were the peaches not sold, they were also blacklisted by the cannery.

Yang Tao took the villagers to find the original owner and falsely accused the original owner of wanting to disrupt the villagers' transaction and of having agreed with the cannery not to purchase their peaches.

As a result, the original owner was stoned to death by the angry villagers.

In order to cover up the truth, Yang Tao and the villagers forged the original owner's departure and kept silent about the original owner's death.

……

"Zhang Shan, what are you busy with recently?"

Zhang Shan buried her head in sorting out the documents, picked out the unreasonable parts in the contract, and gave them to the secretary to reprint.

"Uncle Xing, I haven't contacted you for a long time. How are you feeling recently?"

"Okay, everything is fine. I'm in good health. Are you busy recently?"

"My company is just starting out, so I'm always busy. I have to go abroad to discuss a project tomorrow, and I haven't slept a wink these past two days."

"Boss, it's normal to be busy. If you're not busy, you won't have any money."

"Yes, no money is easy to earn. By the way, how is the road out of the village that I donated before being repaired?"

There was no sound from the other side for a long time, but Zhang Shan was not in a hurry. The road was less than five kilometers long and had been under construction for five or six years but was still not completed. Zhang Shan didn't believe that there was no trick.

"It's almost done, just a little more..."

"Is there any difficulty?"

“It is indeed a bit difficult.”

Zhang Shan thought that he was probably going to ask her for money again.

"I will arrange a friend to help you in a while. Don't worry. He is very trustworthy."

"...Okay, thank you again, Zhang Shan."

"You are too polite. I am from the village after all. I have made a little money, so of course I must remember the kindness of my fellow villagers."

"Yes, yes, you are a grateful person. All our fellow villagers remember you."

Zhang Shan didn't know whether they really remembered it or just pretended to remember it. That highway was a project that the original owner had invested in for five or six years, but it had never been completed. She didn't have time to follow up, so she just left it there.

Now that it is Zhang Shan's turn, this road must be built and completed, not only to give an explanation to the original owner, but also to facilitate what she will do later.

"By the way, Uncle Xing, what did you want to say just now?"

Xing Kai then realized the purpose of calling Zhang Shan, but considering the previous highway incident, he didn't know what to say.

"It's just... the peaches in our village are ripe, but we still can't find a market for them. I want you to do me a favor."

Peaches are planted everywhere in the surrounding area. This year, there is a bumper peach harvest, so the price has naturally dropped.

Other villages sold their peaches to the county canning factory at a "loss", with the price being two yuan lower than last year. Naturally, the villagers of Pingtou Village were unhappy.

As long as the price is not the same as last year, or higher than last year, they would rather let the peaches rot in the fields than sell them at a lower price to others.

As the days passed, the peaches became more and more ripe, and in a few days, they would no longer be able to be sold.

Not only did the cannery refuse to accept our products, but even the street stalls had no one to buy them.

Xing Kai began to get anxious.

In the previous life, the original owner had to persuade them with all his might before they agreed to sell the peaches to the cannery at this year's market price. They agreed reluctantly, but they must have felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Zhang Shan, you are the big boss, you must have a solution, please be kind and help us."

“This…Uncle Xing, you also know that the field I am involved in has nothing to do with agricultural products, and I also hope that the villagers can increase their income and become rich.

But I have been away from home for many years and have no connections; secondly, I have to go abroad recently. This is a project related to the people's livelihood of the whole country. I hope you can understand. "

The issue has already risen to the national level. If Xing Kai wants to use moral blackmail, then he is not sensible.

After all, he is just a minor official, and he can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.

"Then you have to show us a clear way, otherwise we will be like headless flies, running around in all directions, and we will suffer the consequences. If the villagers benefit from it, they will not forget your kindness."

"My suggestion is to bring the problem to the leadership. I believe the county leaders will help you find a solution. If that doesn't work, you can also use government procurement as an employee benefit."

Zhang Shan knew that Xing Kai would not handle it according to her wishes. If that was the case, he would not have to go to so much trouble to call the original owner to return home.

The government has reminded them more than once that they should stop while they are ahead. The price of peaches has dropped this year, and it is simply impossible for them to get the same price as last year.

The people of Pingtou Village can be described in one word: stubborn. They think that since their peaches are ripe for the first year, the quality must be better than those from other villages, and they will never give in.

"Is there any other way?" Xing Kai asked without giving up.

"Nothing."

Xing Kai hung up the phone in great disappointment.

The people around him looked at him and he shook his head.

"He won't come back?"

Xing Kai shook his head again, "Let's think of another way."

Others were very dissatisfied with Zhang Shan's "ungrateful" behavior. Pingtou Village was her hometown after all, and she didn't even lend a helping hand when her hometown was in trouble. It was really cold-blooded.

Xing Kai did not explain. No matter how the villagers misunderstood Zhang Shan, he was unhappy. If Zhang Shan didn't come back, what would happen to all the peaches in the village?

Do we really have to sell it to the cannery at a price of two or three dollars, allowing the cannery to take advantage of it?

They have worked hard for so many years and invested so much, but the crops are now being taken advantage of by outsiders. Not only Xing Kai, but others are also dissatisfied.

"How to do?"

"Fellow villagers, you must unite as one. I have already found out that the canning factory in the county has basically bought up all the peaches in the vicinity. In a little while, they will have no peaches left to can. By then, they will have to beg us to sell them the peaches."

The eyes of the others lit up and they were instantly filled with confidence.

Zhang Shan has indeed been very busy recently, so she didn't know that her "friend" took Xing Kai to a small dark room for investigation.

The money donated by the original owner was at least three million, if not five million, which is not a small amount.

As a result, Xing Kai was put under investigation. The people in Pingtou Village also got the news and cursed Xing Kai for corruption. Some people even threw rotten eggs at the door of Xing's house.

Xing Kai’s wife and son didn’t dare to go out.

Yang Tao hates evil and although he has some complaints about Xing Kai's corruption, he is still very friendly to Xing Kai's wife and children.

After all, when she first came, it was Xing Kai who took her to get acquainted with the villagers.

The Xing family was indebted to her.

"Everyone calm down. Uncle Xing has been busy all these years. We can't deny his efforts just because of a small matter. It's unfair to him."

"Now, if anyone has Zhang Shan's phone number, please call her and ask her to explain to those people that the money was not a donation but a loan. Then Uncle Xing will be able to get out."

Many people here have received favors from Xing Kai, but they are only a minority. The interests of most villagers have been harmed by Xing Kai.

But they had little influence and did not dare to take the risk to bring down Xing Kai, so they could only endure it silently.

beep-

“Not connected!”

"She didn't do it on purpose, did she? She deliberately let Uncle Xing be captured by those people. Not only is she cold-blooded, she is also very ruthless. Such a person is not worthy of being a human being."

Many people also scolded Zhang Shan.

They seemed to have forgotten that the original owner spent millions to build roads for them. They only remembered Xing Kai, who gave them small favors, instead of building a road for them to connect with the outside world and serve as a bridge of communication.

Xing Kai also insisted that the several million was a loan, not a donation, and the money was still under investigation until Zhang Shan returned to China.

Xing Kai's wife and children called to plead for mercy, but many also called specifically to curse her.

Zhang Shan just felt tired.

I just want to build a road, is it that difficult?

Since no one needs roads, forget it.

Zhang Shan finally nodded reluctantly.

In order to prove that the money was a loan, Xing Kai and his family sold everything they could, raised the money, and transferred it to Zhang Shan.

"I originally wanted to make a contribution to my hometown with this money, but now it seems that this amount is still too little. I will add another 6 million to make it a round number and donate it all to the county to support national development."

While Xing Kai was hesitant to speak, Zhang Shan made the final decision, and the county leaders burst into laughter.

Their county was poor, and they had to spend every penny very sparingly, and the infrastructure was incomplete. The money from Zhang Shan was like timely help, and it solved their urgent needs.

"Zhang Shan, what do you mean? How could you..."

Zhang Shan interrupted directly, "Uncle Xing, I haven't said anything about you yet. I gave you money to build a road? But you pocketed the money. You really betrayed my trust in you."

Xing Kai felt a little ashamed, but only a little.

But some people couldn't stand it.

"Zhang Shan, Uncle Xing is your elder after all. How can you speak to him in such a tone? You are so rude. Is this what your parents taught you?"

Zhang Shan's face darkened, "You are not qualified to mention them."

"Stop arguing, Zhang Shan. You can't blame Uncle Xing for this. It was all our idea. We didn't want to build a new road. We're fine with this road now. There's no need to build it."

"Yes, since the road doesn't need to be repaired, you should return the money to Uncle Xing. He sold his house and car to raise the money..."

"I've already seen it. If it weren't for the fact that we're from the same village, I wouldn't change my mind. Since you don't want to build the road, I won't force you. As for the millions, I've already donated them to the county."

"What? How can you donate to the county and not give it to us? We are relatives and fellow villagers. You are turning your elbow outward and eating from your own side!"

The villagers' words became more and more unpleasant.

"Uncle Xing, I have done everything I could. I think I have done my best. I hope you will have good fortune in the future."

Zhang Shan had no intention of getting entangled with them, so as not to be infected by their ignorance.

Zhang Shan’s departure caused an uproar in the village, especially the issue of donating to the county, which no one understood.

Yang Tao had nothing to say this time. She was not from this village and was wholeheartedly working for the development of her fellow villagers, but she was too utilitarian and wanted to achieve great results to impress others, which would also be beneficial to her future career.

But this does not mean that she does not know the value of 10 million. It takes a lot of money to make such a decision!

But Yang Tao didn’t have to sigh for too long, because the peaches in Pingtou Village were about to rot in the fields.

"Yangtao, didn't you say that the cannery in the county would beg us to buy our peaches? Where are they now? Why haven't they come yet?"

"Don't get excited, I'll go and feel the situation out." Yang Tao was also very anxious. Not only did she have to bear the pressure from the villagers, but she also had to bear the pressure from her superiors.

But if she does this well, it will add a splash of color to her resume.

"What? The cannery has started canning pears? They don't can peaches anymore?"

The guard puffed out smoke and said, "The season for yellow peaches has passed. We won't do it anymore."

"How can it be out of season? We still have a lot of yellow peaches that we haven't picked yet."

"The flesh of canned yellow peaches is firm and preferably harder. The ripe yellow peaches now are soft and will rot if steamed. Little girl, you should pick your yellow peaches quickly and sell them on the street, otherwise you will lose all your money." The guard gave her advice because of the blue box.

Yang Tao returned to the village with a depressed look on her face. Facing the villagers' questions, she was exhausted from explaining.

"What? No one is buying our peaches? Aren't they just rotting in the fields?"

The villagers could not accept this at all and demanded an explanation from Yang Tao. “You promised the cannery that you would buy our peaches back at a high price, but now they don’t want them and our peaches are rotting in the fields. You must compensate us for our losses!”

"Yes, you must pay!"

Yang Tao was surrounded by the villagers, some of them went too far and even reached out their hands.

During the argument, it was unclear who started the fight first.

Yang Tao was not from this village, so they attacked her even more unscrupulously. She was beaten to death. If possible, she would never come to this damn place again.

They are not worth saving and should live in hell and rot in the dirt.

Before the villagers had time to deal with the body, they were caught by the police. Dozens of people from the entire village were locked up in a small dark room in the police station.

Soon, the results came out. Thirty-nine people were involved in the case in Pingtou Village. The circumstances were extremely bad, the methods were extremely cruel, and their attitude of admitting their mistakes was very perfunctory. In the end, all thirty-nine people were sentenced to ten years in prison.

Xing Kai's wife and children wanted to ask Zhang Shan for help again, but Zhang Shan had changed her number a long time ago and no one could find her.

Because of what happened in Pingtou Village, no cadres were sent there for several years. Instead, their minds were changed little by little through education.

The road ahead is long and arduous, but the country has never given up on anyone.

Zhang Shan earns so much money that she can’t spend it all. Half of it is used for her own expenses and to buy “specialties” of this world, and the other half is used for charity.

When I left, the country was strong. At that moment I deeply understood what it meant to “success may not depend on me, but I must be part of it”.
