Chapter 107 Li Dong Meets a Rebate

Li Dong pointed to the snails in the yard and shouted out the price.

Wealth can be very tempting.

Many people's eyes immediately lit up.

"Dongzi, are you really buying snails for eight cents a pound?"

"Do they want all kinds? I see the fishing and hunting team is very selective; it's a meticulous job."

"You, do you mean what you say? Don't go back on your word!"

Li Dong frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Something's not right, something's really not right.

Given their status in Chishongtun, they shouldn't be being questioned like this, even if they can't command a large following!

Suppressing his irritation, he continued shouting into the courtyard, "In business, the highest bidder wins, that's only fair. You don't need to be afraid of Zhang Wenshan. If he dares to oppress you, I'll stand up for you."

Ge Ergui was so angry that he was trembling all over, and was about to curse again.

Li Dong, however, preemptively accused him.

"Didn't they say that the fishing and hunting group is different from the previous group?"

"What? So it was all a ruse, secretly running a one-man show. So that's how it is."

"Under the guise of doing what's best for everyone, they're harming their fellow villagers. They claim to be helping those in need, but in reality, they're exploiting their comrades."

"You, I—" Ge Ergui was so angry that his hand holding the hoe trembled. He knew there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't find the point to argue.

Fortunately, a voice came from the crowd at that moment.

"Hey, Shanzi's here."

All eyes turned toward the end of the path.

As the figure approached, Ge Ergui felt as if he had seen a savior and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, loosening his grip on the hoe slightly.

Li Dong's face instantly darkened.

Their family had been planning this for a long time, just waiting to get the oil mill up and running, hoping to win people's hearts by making money with them.

When the village undergoes restructuring and a village committee election is held, their family will definitely win by a landslide!

At that time, Li Dong will be the undisputed tyrant of Chishongtun!

As a result, this kid messed everything up. Luckily, I was smart enough to find Tao Jun after getting the news, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to do anything in such a hurry.

Tao Jun, standing to the side, also looked displeased.

Because of Zhang Wenshan's matter, Zhao Dezhu lost his temper. Not only was he beaten, but he was also kicked out of the fishing and hunting team.

Fortunately, Brother Li came to Zhang Wenshan's door and exposed his true character in public.

This grudge must be avenged today.

The two stepped forward almost simultaneously, blocking the middle of the road.

Zhang Fengxia and Lin Cuihua immediately rushed forward as if on cue, staring fiercely at the other party.

What's so special about this?

The Avengers?

Zhang Wenshan couldn't help but find it amusing. He gently pushed aside the two women blocking his way and, under their watchful eyes and the focused gaze of the crowd, stepped forward.

As the two sides drew closer, everyone held their breath and became tense.

Looking forward to the final clash.

However----

Zhang Wenshan didn't stop at all, ignoring Li Dong and Tao Jun, and walked straight past them.

It's like being in a room, researching how a single person generates heat through friction, and at a crucial moment, your parents suddenly knock on the door, forcing you to stop.

Li Dong and Tao Jun felt a tightness in their chests.

He couldn't catch his breath, and the momentum he had painstakingly built up vanished. He didn't even react for a long time until everyone had gone far away before he shouted in a hurry.

"stop."

Seeing that Zhang Wenshan showed no sign of stopping, the two had no choice but to hurry and catch up.

Several people who came with Tao Jun quietly slowed down their pace. They didn't know why, but they just felt that it was quite embarrassing.

"You, you stop right there."

Li Dong rushed up to him, panting heavily, his chest aching from running.

Tao Jun fared even worse; he suffered a sudden gasp for breath and was unable to speak, clutching his stomach.

"Are you out of your mind or deaf?" Zhang Wenshan deliberately gave him a provocative look and spoke slowly.

He originally didn't intend to make a big deal out of it.

Someone like Li Dong, once the winds blow up next year, with a little encouragement from me, will die without even knowing how he died.

But after hearing the brigade leader talk about the Li family's plan...

He knew things weren't that simple; the other party would definitely not give up and would keep causing trouble. Since that was the case, he might as well send them on their way.

"You f***ing—"

Just as Li Dong was about to curse, he was suddenly met with Zhang Wenshan's cold gaze. He immediately recalled the scene of being beaten up last time, and swallowed the rest of his words.

"I think I've said it more than once: if we part ways and you keep sticking to me like a leech, don't blame me for beating you to death."

Zhang Wenshan spoke coldly, laying the groundwork for what would happen later.

"You—" Li Dong instinctively took a half step back, licked his lips, and raised his voice, "I am here on behalf of all the villagers to seek justice—"

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Wenshan interrupted him abruptly, giving a disdainful smile, "Who are you?"

"You're supposed to represent this and that? Ask your fellow villagers first, do they even need you to represent them?"

Li Dong subconsciously turned around, only to find complete silence around him. There was no response, not even a supportive glance.

Oh my god.

Li Dong swallowed back all the prepared remarks he had prepared, and felt a strange pain in his chest.

He had planned it all out perfectly.

By exploiting the issue of snail prices, they dealt a fatal blow to Zhang Wenshan. After all, by buying snails at high prices, they were sure to gain the support of most people and even turn members of the fishing and hunting group against him.

As long as it's proven that Zhang Wenshan was greedy for money and cut profits, he can be labeled a capitalist.

At that time, even the captain of the fishing and hunting team, the old party secretary, and the accountant will all be caught, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After these people are done playing around, I'll step forward and take charge.

Little did they know, from the very first meeting, Zhang Wenshan would act completely out of the ordinary.

Stop spouting nonsense!

Li Dong took a deep breath and forcefully pulled back the pace.

"The snails in town are so expensive, yet you only give five cents! That's capitalist behavior! Don't you all agree?"

'

Silence fell over the surroundings.

Li Dong's eyes widened involuntarily, his lips moved slightly, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

"The operation of the fishing and hunting group and how the money is distributed have been made public by the brigade, and the entire Chishong Village knows about it."

Zhang Wenshan spoke calmly, letting out a soft snort that revealed his sarcasm.

Dealing with Li Dong doesn't require any particularly impressive methods; a little provocation is enough to send this kid treading a dark path.

"As for how much the snails cost, that's my business, it's none of your concern."

"I can't control whether you're willing to pay a high price or someone is willing to sell. As long as it's a cash-on-delivery transaction, I won't stop you if someone from the fishing and hunting group is willing to sell to you."

After saying that, he stopped looking at the two ashen faces, turned around, and walked into the courtyard.

That's unbearable! Your tolerance for stress is a bit low!

His gaze swept over them, and several group members hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

"What time is it? The state-run restaurant has operating hours. Who can afford to be late?"

Zhang Wenshan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an air of authority.

"The rules of the fishing and hunting group are clearly written down. If you don't want to join, you can stand up now."

"I'll settle the accounts with you right away, distribute the items, and you can leave."

Upon hearing this, the group members shook their heads vigorously.
