As soon as the village head arrived, the voices full of swearing and verbal insults suddenly quieted, and there was no sound at all. Some village women saw the village head and rushed to talk to him but were stopped.
“Cousin, you…”
“Shut up.” The village head stared at her, and finally, he had the momentum of a village head.
“What are you doing? You take all your own food back and stop threatening people. Do you know what this looks like?!”
These people are not willing to listen!
The people who brought the vegetables were at least five or six catties, and at most dozens of catties-they wouldn’t be able to finish eating them if they took them back, they would all be spoiled.
“village head, Wei Lu’s family, wants to buy vegetables. They have to pick my vegetables, if you ask me to take them back, the vegetables will rot so I will be the first to refuse.” Wei Laizi from a rascal’s family protested.
“village head, you can’t let all of us carry our vegetables home to rot. With so many families, you have to give us an explanation. It is Wei Lu’s family who wanted to collect vegetables, so we brought our vegetables to sell. Why won’t they collect them this time? There is an agreement.”
“That’s right, we all came here after hearing that Wei Lu’s family was buying harvested vegetables.”
“We couldn’t have harvested our vegetables in vain, they need to collect them!”
“Right-”
With Wei Laizi taking the lead, all the villagers who are waiting for the sale are turning black into white, and they all agree that even if the village head is here, what can he do?
The village head was really pissed off. He saw all the villagers who were turning black into white, and saw that vegetables weighed hundreds of catties. If they weren’t sold, it would be a waste.
“Wei Lu’s family, look, why don’t you buy all the vegetables today, how can we let so many vegetables rot, right? If they come again tomorrow, I will never let them go lightly.”
The village head thought that if he was serious about something, the villagers would definitely restrain themselves, but he didn’t know that the villagers thought he was speaking for them.
The troubled villagers suddenly looked proud.
They made up their minds that with the help of the village head, their vegetables would definitely be purchased.
Tomorrow, they will still follow the pattern of today.
Aunt Lu said, “Village head, this is wrong. These vegetables here are hundreds of catties more than the ones originally ordered. Although my family buys vegetables for Cheng-zi, when these vegetables are bought, Cheng-zi won’t use so many vegetables and they will definitely still go bad.”
Wei Laizi shouted, “What can’t be used, the vegetables purchased by Wei Cheng can definitely be used, and besides, he is a businessman, so the loss would not be a big deal.”
Wei Laizi does not take Wei Cheng seriously, he is just a poor man who keeps his head down and dare not say a word, Wei Laizi already had bad ideas in his heart- since Wei Cheng is doing business in the county then he’ll have to ask him for some money to use.

Some people even wanted to play the emotional card and ask Wei Yuan’s family to take away the food.
There were also a few families who were crying and yelling, and threatened not to accept them in their village, so they stayed at the door of Wei Yuan’s house.
Originally, as the head of Nanbian Village, he was also happy to see the villagers increase their income, but he had selfish intentions at the beginning, wanting Wei Cheng to take in more houses, but who knew that the villagers would rather beat this family to death, and now they made things worse.
After all, Wei Cheng is a member of the Wei clan, so he probably wanted him to settle the matter peacefully by saying that he would not accept vegetables from the village. Since he didn’t show up, there might be room for negotiation.
The village head thought that it was like this but if Wei Cheng knew about it, he would definitely click his tongue and say that the village head is overthinking. He simply doesn’t have time to come over, if he comes here instead, his attitude will be even worse, as long as he said so then how could he procrastinate in doing it.
The village head was thinking about procrastinating, on how to get Wei Cheng to buy all the vegetables today.
Wei Lei watched, stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice, “For today’s vegetables, we can agree to accept—”
When Wei Yuan’s family heard what Wei Lei said, they didn’t refute. They knew that Wei Cheng must have told Wei Lei something, otherwise Wei Lei wouldn’t have said that.
Everyone listened to Wei Lei’s words since Wei Yuan’s family didn’t speak again, and they were immediately overjoyed, maybe there was something else going on.
Some villagers recognized Wei Lei and shouted, “Lei-er, is what you said is true? Can you really decide to accept everyone’s food?”
Seeing that the villagers were starting to shout again, Wei Lei glanced over at them coldly- he did not speak, just stared at them, his cold gaze was really frightening.
If Wei Lei turned on a chilly aura, he would be very imposing.
In fact, Wei Cheng taught this, otherwise Wei Lei would really not be able to do it, it was also the first time for him to do this.
Everyone didn’t speak, they all waited for Wei Lei to finish his promise.
However, Wei Lei didn’t say what they were expecting.
“I promise that we will buy everyone’s vegetables today—but, starting tomorrow, vegetables will not be purchased from this village.”
The villagers couldn’t react fast enough to Wei Lei’s words, how could they not harvest vegetables, this—
“Wei Cheng originally purchased vegetables for the sake of his fellow villagers. Since he had good intentions but was deceived by others, he said that he would rather go to another village to collect vegetables.”
“Originally, when the vegetables are harvested, he can continue to buy the next harvest, and buy even more vegetables in the future. But after this time, he will not go back to the village to buy again. He doesn’t want to encounter this situation.”
At this moment, the villagers all came back to their senses, and then the discussion suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.
From Wei Lei’s words, the village knows one important thing. Wei Cheng will only buy more vegetables, not less. Moreover, Wei Cheng buys tens of catties of vegetables every day. After buying from other houses, maybe it will be their turn. .
Wouldn’t they offend Wei Cheng by doing this? What if he won’t buy their vegetables?
Now, the villagers blamed each other one sentence at a time, and even started arguing, the noise got more intense—
The village head had to stop them again.
The village head’s face turned livid, and seeing the village head’s face, the villagers didn’t dare to make trouble.
“Those who aren’t supposed to be here will take their vegetables back. If you don’t take me, the village head, seriously, just get out of the village.”
In fact, after hearing Wei Lei’s words, most of the villagers wanted to go back.
A family with a few catties of vegetables can still eat a few meals for the whole family, but a family with a dozen catties or tens of catties, how can they be willing to take their vegetables back?
Wei Lei’s mother and younger brother finally had the opportunity to speak. Wei Lei’s mother shouted loudly, “Wei Lei, even if you don’t accept other people’s vegetables but I’m your mother, how dare you refuse me?”
She didn’t even know that her son was so capable. He collected vegetables with Wei Cheng. With her son around, her vegetables would definitely be collected. Maybe in the future, if she told her son not to accept any vegetables in the village, her son would have to listen to her. Those who want to sell vegetables have to curry favour with her, thinking about it, won’t she be able to walk proudly in the village in the future.
Wei Lei’s mother was still daydreaming happily.
The people in the village were playing the emotional card again, begging them to buy today’s vegetables, and they will definitely not make trouble tomorrow.
The village head was in a dilemma. He felt that the villagers would definitely not make trouble anymore. They all just wanted to sell vegetables to Wei Cheng.
“Lei-zi, this…”
“No sale!”
Wei Lei was resolute, and then said to the village head, “Village head, I have no right to buy vegetables. The task given to me by Cheng-zi is to just say what I just said.”
Since Wei Lei said no, his mother cursed loudly again, “Wei Lei, if you don’t collect vegetables from the family today, don’t come back home to me in the future, I will not treat you as my son.” Her family has a lot of burdens, if they won’t accept it, the loss will be painful to think about.
Wei Lei’s younger brother also scolded him, “Brother, how can you be angry with our mother, you are unfilial, quickly apologise to our mother, and take away the vegetables. You and Wei Cheng are brothers, what else can he say if you take away the vegetables from your family.”
Wei Lei wasn’t afraid of his old mother’s scolding, anyway, he was used to listening to it, and he looked at his younger brother coldly. His younger brother trembled when he looked at him- his younger brother always felt that he was getting more and more scary.
For his mother, Wei Lei’s younger brother has always been against his elder brother. Anyway, his elder brother will not say anything about what his mother says, but let him take out his wages and let him work in the fields…… In short, he has never been afraid of him. He has always been protected by his mother, so he often fights against his elder brother Wei Lei.
Being stared at coldly by his elder brother this time, Wei Lei’s younger brother felt that his elder brother seemed different.
Wei Lei didn’t have a good opinion of his family members, so he didn’t say anything since he could still stay at home. He never ate at home for a whole day, he always looked for food outside, and never starved himself to death. He only handed in part of his wages, which should be the filial piety as their son.
Looking at the cursing old lady, Wei Lei really envied Wei Cheng’s life now, he has a small family, his wife cares about him, and he doesn’t have to listen to such noise.
It seems that he has to find a time to go out and live his own life. He should be able to buy a dilapidated thatched house in the village by saving money.
Seeing Wei Lei’s resolute disapproval attitude, the village head thought for a while, and had no choice but to talk to Wei Cheng himself, otherwise the vegetables would be wasted.
“Lei-zi, take me to Wei Cheng’s house, and I will talk to him myself.”
“There is no need to.”
The tone of Wei Lei’s direct refusal made the village head who had always been giving orders in the village black-faced. Fortunately, his face turned better after Wei Lei’s next sentence.
“Village head, how can I let you go? I will go to the county to work later, and I will tell Cheng-zi about the matter.”
The village head also thought that it should be so, otherwise he would not look good as a village head if he was the one to run over.
The villagers did not leave, but they did not dare to make trouble.
They were all waiting for Wei Lei to ask Wei Cheng to help buy some for the sake of the villagers.
Wei Yuan’s family started to buy vegetables.
Seeing that Wei Lei was there, Wei Laizi felt a little bit embarrassed and walked away in despair. He thought to himself that if he lost the vegetable money, he would ask Wei Cheng to get it back so he ignored the loss this time.
As for the village head’s cousin, let the village head’s wife block her, she wouldn’t dare face the village head’s wife.
As for Wei Lei’s mother, Wei Lei just told her that if they make more trouble, he will not give any money to the family.
He seemed to remember that his household registration was not at his mother’s house.
Forget it, he’ll think about it later.
Wei Lei and Wei Yuan sent vegetables to the county together.
Yes Wei Lei, put everybody and their mama in their place!!!
Thanks for the chapter 💕
That Wei Laizi or whatever, how can he have the audacity to want to ask Wei Cheng for money? They’re total strangers!!
