When the village head heard what Lin Yunchu said, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he grinned with excitement and was speechless.

Then he turned around and looked at Lin's father and mother, wanting to see what Lin Yunchu meant by this. When he saw Lin's father and mother nodded at him, he straightened up.

Looking at the Lin family members in the room, his face was full of joy and gratitude.

Fortunately, the Lin family was generous and did not bother with those people. Not only were they willing to teach them how to grow potatoes, they also reduced the price of potato seeds by one cent. In this way, every household only had to pay ten cents to buy potato seeds.

Yes, he was right about the Lin family. They were all good people. If the Lin family needed his help in the future, he would have to pay close attention to it.

Lin Yunchu didn't know that after her words, the village head felt even more grateful to the Lin family.

After expressing his gratitude to the Lin family again and again, the village head hurried back.

When he returned home, he saw that his yard was full of people. When they saw the head of the village coming back, they all looked anxious and stretched their necks waiting for him to tell them what had happened.

The village head was full of worries before going to the Lin family. He didn't even drink much tea. Now he was already a little thirsty. He was not in a hurry to explain to everyone, but went into the house, poured himself a full cup of tea and drank it.

Only then did he feel a little more comfortable, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked into the yard.

Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, the village head cleared his throat and said loudly, "I have already told the Lin family about this matter, and they have already agreed. Don't worry."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of joyful cheers from the crowd.

"but......"

The village head waved to everyone, signaling them to be quiet.

Seeing the strange and serious look on the headman's face, everyone fell silent. The yard of the headman's house suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting quietly for the headman to speak.

"The price of potato planting is one penny per pound, and each family is limited to planting ten pounds. If you all have no objections, when the next planting season is about to begin, I will take you to the Lin family to listen to how it is planted."

what?

The words of the village head immediately caused an uproar in the yard. Everyone started talking about it, and the women standing in the front even started shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Why do we have to pay silver? It's one cent per catty. Ten catties is ten cents. The Lin family is really dishonest."

"That's right. The Lin family originally said they would give it to everyone in the village for free. Why are they changing their minds now?"

"The Lin family is living a good life, so they don't care about the friendship of our village."

"Humph! Exactly! I've never seen the Lin family be so snobbish. They said it was free at the beginning, but now they want to charge money. Do they need this little money?"

For a while, there was constant shouting in the yard, and the headman's face became darker as he listened.

This is getting more and more outrageous. The Lin family is not short of this little money. Are they supposed to be taken advantage of?

It is true that they are from the same village, but the Lin family's current life is earned by the hard work of their own family members. Why should they help the villagers at the cost of their hard work?

Moreover, these are the people who refused to grow potatoes with the Lin family no matter how much he persuaded them. Now the Lin family is willing to help you, which is already a huge favor.

If it weren't for the fact that he asked for their permission, and that they were all from the same village, it wouldn't have been their turn to do this.

They are unwilling to pay these ten cents. Does that mean the Lin family should just lick their faces and give them money and effort for free?

snort!

These people really don't know what's good for them. If they behave like this again, he will never go to the Lin family to plead for them even if they kneel down and kowtow to him in the future.

Seeing that the headman's face was becoming increasingly embarrassed, two people who were used to reading expressions quickly opened their mouths tentatively:

"Uncle Fang, it's not that we're being picky, but no one is well off, and the Lin family has even opened a workshop now, so they definitely don't need this little bit of money. Could you please be kind enough to help us all out?"

"Yes, Uncle Fang, the main thing is that when the Lin family patronized those twelve families before, they didn't charge a penny. Why do they ask us for money? It won't sound good if this gets out to others."

The Lin family paid the three people who came to work in their workshop a monthly salary of 350 wen, so they were definitely not short of these ten wen.

It would be better to be kind and help them for free. They will also remember the Lin family's kindness.

"Humph!"

The head of the village snorted coldly at the two people who spoke, glanced at them with cold eyes, and did not speak for a long time, which made the two people scared and broke out in cold sweats.

Looking at the expression of the village head, what does it mean? Is it okay or not?

The two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy. Looking at the cold eyes of the headman, they didn't dare to say anything. They lowered their heads and dared not look at him again.

"Why, now that the Lin family is doing well, they should put aside their past grudges and help you out even though they've worked so hard and suffered losses. Just because we're all from the same village, they should help you out out of their own pockets?"

"You are so generous, why don't you take out your own money and share it with the people in the village?"

"I've taken note of your intentions. Go home and get the silver now. I'll distribute it to the hungry families in the village today. How about that?"

Hearing what the headman said, everyone knew that he was on the verge of losing his temper. No one dared to step forward, for fear of offending him and that the next target of his wrath would be their own son.

No one dared to step forward to be the cannon fodder. The few people who had been talking the most excitedly immediately lowered their heads, fearing that they would be the next ones to be called out by the headman.

If he really angered the head of the village, this would not be something he said casually. He only had so little money. If he really spent it today, his whole family would be left with nothing.

Seeing that the yard had suddenly become quiet, the village head looked around at everyone standing in the yard with a cold face. After a while, he spoke again in a low voice:

"You are not even willing to share the money in your own pockets with others, so why do you ask the Lin family to provide you with money and labor unconditionally?"

The village head sighed and continued, "Besides, I was the first to bring up the issue of the silver."

Hearing what the headman said, everyone immediately raised their heads and looked at him in confusion.

Why? The Lin family doesn’t lack this little money, so why does the village head want to come up with it himself?

Although everyone had doubts in their minds, no one dared to speak first at this time. The village head was very angry at the moment, and if anyone was so short-sighted, he would not give face.

Then you will be the one who is unlucky.
