"Putting ourselves in others' shoes, everyone has a heart. If we treat people well, they will naturally remember our kindness. This way, not only does our village gain a good reputation, but the villagers' crops also have a market. This truly helps the common folk!"
This year, due to the drought and lack of rain, the fruit quality was slightly poor. The villagers were initially worried about selling their produce, but now everything has been sold, and several contractors have signed contracts for the next three years. From now on, Qingshui Village no longer has to worry about unsold crops!
President Li even informed me that the investment has been approved, and construction can start next month with a budget that has doubled!
Qingshui Village has recently been filled with joyous events. Village Head Zhang waved his hand and organized a long banquet table, even inviting dragon and lion dancers to entertain the visitors.
A few of my former apprentices approached me with food and drinks: "Master, we..."
"Stop! Don't call me Master; we have no ties anymore. Please leave."
"We were incited by Hua Xiaobei before; we’ve always regarded you as our Master. Please don’t hold it against us."
Xiaohong immediately rushed forward to chase them away, but I stopped her with a hand.
With just a glance, she understood my intention and quietly took out her phone to start recording.
"If you want to reconcile, then you need to clarify everything about Xiuying."
Recently, Qingshui Village received several negative reviews—not about the village itself but rather about the difficult roads.
Previously, the province had intended to build roads and high-speed railways. Now that there is such a large influx of tourists, the province immediately held a meeting to discuss road construction. Qingshui Village has also been included in the next batch of high-speed rail construction plans.
With the new highways and high-speed rail, good days have truly arrived for Qingshui Village.
Panhu Village, on the other hand, can no longer sit idly by. Once thriving, it has now become a ghost town, and even road construction has left it out of the picture.
To make matters worse, their previous focus on tourism had delayed the farming season, resulting in a harvest of misshapen fruits that have no market. As the weather grows hotter, they risk letting their crops rot in the fields.
Rumor has it that Ding Youtian can’t even step outside to use the restroom anymore due to the villagers gathering at his doorstep, causing a ruckus.
One afternoon, President Li mysteriously led me into Panhu Village.
Before I could figure out what was happening, he began shouting, "High prices for premium fruits! Limited quantities available today only!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers rushed over with their fruits:
"President Li, look at these premium fruits! They sell for one yuan each in the market, but I’ll give them to you for eighty cents. You’ll take them all, right?"
"I will buy a batch of premium fruits at ten yuan per jin. If they are particularly good, I can raise the price, but I will only buy one thousand jins!"
As soon as they heard ten yuan, their eyes lit up. However, one thousand jins was far too little; it wouldn’t even be enough for one family, let alone the entire village.
"Choose my fruits! They use chemical fertilizers and pesticides; my family uses only organic fertilizer. These fruits are juicy and delicious!"
"What do you mean by that? What's wrong with chemical fertilizers? They’re not illegal. Look at your fruits; they’re full of wormholes. Who would dare eat those?"
"Theirs aren’t good enough! President Li, look at mine—big and shiny! They look great; you’ll definitely sell them for a high price!"
"Little Meng, just by looking at you, it's clear you've been waxed. Your family sells the cheapest fruit every year, and you still dare to compete with me here!"
The villagers, known for their "unity," immediately erupted into a heated argument. A few agitated villagers even picked up fruit to throw at each other.
I was about to step in to mediate when President Li stopped me with a firm hand. "I'm doing this on purpose. I'm avenging you. I brought you here today just to show you how they fight like dogs."
