Reborn 1980: The Peasant Girl of Vanves

Chapter 163 Bewitching people
The courtyard of old man Liu's house was quickly tidied up.

He also specially emptied out the warehouse to store the collected bamboo seedlings.

On the evening of the first day, old man Liu collected more than 50 bamboo seedlings, all of which were carefully selected annual wild bamboo seedlings.

Of course, more than these were sent. Some villagers also dug up some bitter bamboo seedlings for the sake of opportunism, but they were all rejected by Old Man Liu.

The angry villagers kept complaining, "Old man Liu, you are too stubborn, why don't you know how to be flexible?
The big guys live in a village, so can't they accommodate?

No one came from them, and it was impossible to tell if ten or eight bitter bamboos were mixed into these bamboos. "

Old man Liu stared, blushing anxiously, "I don't know, but my old Liu's conscience knows.

If people can trust me, I have to be worthy of them. If the bitter bamboo gang Nanzhu accepts it, isn't this harmful? "

"Old Liu, the roots of the bamboo are well developed in this season, and it is very difficult to dig. You just turn a blind eye and accept the bamboo seedlings."

"No! This bitter bamboo is useless and grows fast. If it is planted on someone else's mountain, wouldn't it be harmful?"

"Old Liu, people can afford even the mountains, how many bamboo seedlings are missing?"

"No, if I say no, I won't. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. If you don't want it, forget it. Anyway, some people go to the mountain to dig it, and it costs two yuan a tree. They give such a high price. I can't lie to people. God is watching!"

"..."

The villagers kept saying that old Liu had a single-minded mind, and he would not shoddy anything as good as it was, and used bitter bamboo as a bamboo.

This offended many people in the village.

Some families who were short of money still went to the mountains to dig bamboo seedlings and sent them to old man Liu. Those who wanted to take advantage of them gathered together to discuss how to deal with old man Liu.

"This old Liu doesn't know what benefits he has gained from others, so he puts so much effort into doing things for him."

"You don't know, the girl who bought the bamboo seedlings is pretty. I guess the old man has taken a fancy to her and wants her to be his daughter-in-law." The one who spoke was Er Mai Tai, who had suffered a lot from the old Liu.

"You can push it down. If someone can buy the mountain, they can still look at the lame son of old Liu? Isn't this nonsense!"

"I heard that old Liu's son, after eating something that girl gave him, his legs are much better and he can walk on the ground?"

"Then maybe this old Liu is trying to repay his kindness."

"It's okay to want to repay the favor. He repaid the favor and earned the money, but we didn't get anything.

Besides, look at the back hillside, the bamboo seedlings were dug down, and the pits were left behind, one by one, and people's knees could be lost. Isn't this destroying the environment? "

"Yes, destroying the environment! We can't let him earn money by himself and destroy the environment of our village."

Everyone finally found a way to stop Old Liu.

Old Liu is stubborn, the kind who dares to cut people with a bamboo knife.

Everyone felt that there was still a lack of a leader, and this leader must be able to suppress Old Liu and speak powerfully.

After much deliberation, everyone cheered and walked towards the village chief's house.

The village head of Nanzhu Village was holding a strip knife in his hand, breaking a bamboo into bamboo strips.

Bamboo strips are used to weave mats and straw hats for sale.

The land in Nanzhu Village is barren, with many rocks and little soil, so nothing grows.

Most of the villagers make a living by weaving bamboo products and selling them for money.

Today the village head is breaking bamboo strips to weave a mat and sell it for money.

On the kang of their own house, there are still several large sheets of kraft paper, not even a bamboo strip.

"Hey, the village chief knows how to live. The kraft paper is smooth. If we put some paint on it, it will be smoother." Er Maitai entered the house, and stroked the kang with his hand a few times.

"Er Maitai, everyone went to the mountain to dig bamboo seedlings for money, why didn't you slackers go? Still have time to visit?" The village chief squinted at Er Maitai with a cigarette in his mouth.

"The village head is a cheerful person. We are here for this matter. You can ask before we can tell you." Er Maitai laughed along with him, hiding a knife in his smile.

"I have something to say, I have to fart, I'm busy."

"Village Chief, I have something to ask you. The old head Liu collected the bamboo seedlings, did he say hello to you?" Er Maitai looked at the few people who came with him, and asked first.

The village head took down the cigarette in his mouth, knocked the ash and put it back, and replaced the bamboo stick in his hand, "What are you talking about?
That bamboo grows on the mountain, and whoever uses it will chop it, and if it doesn't chop it, it will grow densely and become a talent. "

"That's not right!" Er Mai Tai sat down next to the village chief, his eyes flickering, "Village chief, the bamboo forest grows to the border of our Nanzhu village, how we cut it and use it is our own stuff.

Among other things, how much benefit will it create for our Qingniu Village when it's the season of bamboo shoots?
Now that old man Liu digs out the bamboo seedlings and sells them elsewhere. That is to exchange our things for money and put them in his own pocket. "

When Er Maitai said this, several other people also deeply agreed.

"Yes, you have to take care of the village chief. Don't you care if you're watching old Liu hurt our big guy's interests?"

"Village chief, you have to take care of this matter. You can't let him take everyone's things and sell the money to spend on his own."

"Also, village chief, go to the bamboo forest and have a look. There are deep and shallow pits on the ground. If you walk carelessly, your legs will not be broken."

"Let him dig like this again, I don't know if winter will affect the growth of winter bamboo shoots.

The winter bamboo shoots are an income. "

The village head, who didn't take this matter seriously, stopped the saber in his hand after hearing what they said.

He looked at this and that, "According to what you say, old man Liu really can't let him continue this business?"

"You can't let him do it, of course not!"

"And I also heard that the Fengshui of that bamboo forest is the best place in our Nanzhu Village.

Now let him be instigated, and the digging is in tatters. Isn't that destroying the Feng Shui of our Nanzhu Village? "

Destroying feng shui is a major matter, and even the village head must pay special attention to matters involving feng shui in the entire village.

"I'd better go to the bamboo forest first." The village head put down the work in his hands, put on the shoes he was holding, and walked out.

Their Nanzhu Village has no special products, and they are poor.

Only the bamboo weaving and bamboo shoots made of this Nanzhu can be sold.

If the foundation of life is really destroyed by old Liu, as these lazy bastards said, how can future generations survive?

Old Liu is good at managing bamboo, and the village chief doesn't believe that he can break the roots of Nanzhu Village.

But seeing Old Liu putting money into his pocket, he also got jealous.

If Old Liu could tell him in advance, or give him a five cent for each bamboo shoot, he would have suppressed the matter immediately.

But the upright old Liu didn't, so I can't blame myself for those things.
