He opened his mouth and said:
"Auntie Diezi, during spring, your family opened up a few pieces of land at the foot of the mountain to grow vegetables. Together with the land your family originally owned, there should be more than ten pieces of vegetable fields, right? Your family's vegetable fields are in the east and west of the village. There's even a piece by the river."
"Mother Hongdi, a few days ago, when there were wild vegetables and mushrooms on the mountain, you brought your entire family out in the middle of the night. Overnight, you picked away almost all the mushrooms at the foot of the mountain, causing everyone to have to go deeper into the mountain to pick mushrooms. Someone in the village woke up at night and saw you, right?"
"Dog Tail, yes, you." Guan Chibei said to the hooligan without a change in expression, "Your family built a house before the new year. The entire family went to the mountain and cut down more than ten trees to build a house. As such, the villagers who were hoarding firewood for winter had to walk farther away and carry the tree trunks down the mountain."
After Guan Chibei finished speaking, he looked up and said calmly, "Why? Are you going to pay the village?"
Guan Chibei's indiscriminate radiation stunned the villagers.
The person who had caused a ruckus, known as Dog Tail, was punched in the face and could not say a word.
The other villagers, who were stirred up, had ugly expressions and their throats went hoarse.
The woman who had asked the Guan family to share the money they had earned with the villagers, Mother Hongdi, was embarrassed when she was told off by Guan Chibei. Instead, she shouted at Guan Chibei even more angrily,
"How can that be the same? Everyone uses it at home. Your Guan family took the things from the village to sell for money and kept them for yourself!"
"That's right."
"That's right. Why didn't I think of that just now?"
Mother Hongdi's angry words woke up many villagers who had not expected this. They immediately nodded and echoed.
Guan Chibei said, "Then why don't you sell them as well? You can keep them if you earn money."
All the villagers were speechless. "?"
Guan Chibei said calmly, "That's right. Every villager takes what they want from the river or the mountains. If you can, why don't you go into the river to fish? Can't you sell them as well? Who doesn't allow you?"
"You don't need to pay for whatever you take from the mountain. If everyone is like that, why must our family pay for fishing in the river? What kind of logic is that?"
"You say that we fish too much. If you can do the same, why not? If you say that the fish in the river belongs to the village, do all of you have to pay for what you took outside?"
"It's even more unreasonable to want our family to split the money just because our family does business. If you want, you can take something and sell it to exchange for money as well. There's no logic that only our family has to pay."
"If that's the case, I want to ask the village head if there's a fair share of everything. No one can take too much, or that family will have to pay for it themselves. If that's the case, the land used to build houses in the village requires money as well. Everyone can just register with the officials. According to this, whoever occupies the most land in the village will compensate the rest of the villagers."
Guan Chibei looked over lightly. "Do you think this makes sense?"
All the villagers' faces darkened!
The land in the village was casually carved out. The Guan family was considered a big family. Their courtyard was one of the largest in the village. However, it was not like the other families did not have two or three houses. They even occupied a large courtyard and planted various vegetables to raise poultry.
There were many families who occupied more land in the village than the Guan family!
Therefore, when Guan Chibei said this, the villagers' expressions darkened.
When it came to themselves, all the villagers had this reaction. However, they were very happy criticizing the Guan family.
No one said anything else. Otherwise, if they were told to make up for it, the villagers would vomit blood.
Guan Chibei did not move. He turned around and said, "If you can fish, you can sell them yourself, just like this."
As Guan Chibei spoke, it was as if he was demonstrating. The muscles in his arms suddenly bulged and he exerted strength to pick up the bamboo basket that was completely buried in the water.
With a splash, the bamboo basket and the fish were lifted into the air!
The men beside him widened their eyes. Such a bamboo basket was completely buried in the water. If it was suddenly pulled out, it would be very heavy!
Not to mention that there were fish in the basket!
Not even a strong man from the village could do this…
The villagers' expressions froze again. Guan Chibei was using this to tell them that even if they went into the river, they would not be able to fish so much.
If they could, they could also bring a lot of fish home.
The villagers looked at each other in dismay. Apart from that, they also remembered that Guan Chibei's arm strength was indeed good. Didn't Guan Chibei have superb archery skills? He was the one who killed the few fierce beasts from the mountain previously…
The villagers were finally a little shocked and shut up.
After Guan Chibei had scooped up enough fish, he slowly went ashore. Sanmao, who was beside him, immediately sent him a thin blanket. He had brought it from home, afraid that Guan Chibei would catch a cold after coming out of the river.
Guan Chibei wrapped himself in a thin blanket with a relaxed expression. He did not say anything in front of the villagers. He picked up the fish basket and was about to leave. However, before he left, he left behind a method to fish.
"You don't have to go down into the river to fish with a basket. You can also make a fishing pole to fish by the river now. The river has just thawed, and the fishes below are very hungry. It's easy for them to take the bait."
In the past, it was extremely difficult to fish in the river. The main reason was that there was sufficient food in the river and the fish did not lack food. Previously, some villagers fished viciously. From then on, the fish in the river became extremely smart and cunning. They no longer took the bait.
However, the river had just thawed now. The fishes were relatively hungry and this was also secretly related to Guan Chibei. No one knew that after Guan Chibei went down the river, the fishes in the river would move slower because of the yin energy.
If they wanted to fish, it would be easy. After two days, the fishes would return to their original state.
The villagers had vented their anger. Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately revealed looks of understanding.
Guan Chibei took the fishes away.
When such things happened in the village, the Guan family's situation changed drastically.
The storm was still ongoing. The village would not calm down for a day after the Guan family set up their stall. However, everyone in the village thought that everyone's discussion would make the Guan family feel ashamed. However, the Guan family listened to Ye Lulu. Ye Lulu did not take the storm in the village seriously.
After selling Malatang at the docks for a few days and earning more money, she started to look at shops.
