In autumn, although everyone was busy, Wang Yougui had promised that One Finger Village's harvester would help them with the autumn harvest! Therefore, those who were originally busy also came over.
In an instant, the villagers from several villages swarmed over. There were hundreds of them!
Although the river was large, when hundreds of people rushed in, each person on one side, they opened fire!
The combined harvester on the other side instantly stopped firing …
Jiang Chaowei stared blankly at the countless villagers, completely dumbfounded. "F * ck me … these guys are too shameless! He actually found so many people! This is bullying a machine! "
In the distance, Sun Youqian was also dumbfounded. He pointed at the hundreds of people in the distance and stared at Wang Yougui and Tan Juguo with widened eyes. "This … can't be … You guys … are too shameless!"
Wang Yougui chuckled and said, "Manager Sun, we didn't go back on our words. Why did your machine stop? Hurry up and get to work, or else we're going to lose. "
Sun Youqian's face alternated between livid and pale. After holding it in for a long time, he stomped his foot and no longer cared about his reputation. He cursed. "F * * k! What's there to compete for?! "
"So you're admitting defeat?" Wang Yougui asked.
"A loss is a loss, Little Jiang! Come down, I'm leaving! "Sun Youqian admitted defeat without any hesitation. He turned around and prepared to leave.
"Manager Sun, the bet is still here! When are you going to give us our machines? Also, should I refund the deposit for this machine? "Wang Yougui laughed.
Sun Youqian waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about this at our sales point …"
With that said, Sun Youqian got into Little Jiang's car and the two disappeared.
Sun Youqian didn't wish to stay a moment longer. He felt like a retard if he stayed another minute! The way they looked at him was as if they were mocking him for being an idiot.
"Manager Sun, what should we do? Are we really going to compensate them with a harvester? "Jiang Chaowei asked unwillingly.
"Compensate my ass!" Sun Youqian sneered and said, "The country doesn't support such a bet. It's not legally binding either. Even if it's binding, we won't pay. At worst, we'll just go to court! Where would these country bumpkins find the money to waste with us? You want to play with me? I'll play them to death! When the time comes, not only will they not get a single cent, they will also have to pay for it! "
"As expected of Manager Sun, impressive!" Jiang Chaowei immediately flattered.
Sun Youqian smiled smugly.
After Sun Youqian and company left, Yang Hua activated the combined harvester again and began harvesting the farmland. Since everyone was already here, they had no intention of leaving. Thus, hundreds of people bragged, chatted, and talked nonsense, and a large piece of land was harvested …
After working for a while, Fangzheng realized that there were people everywhere he went. Furthermore, he was constantly chased away. Helpless, he could only go to the bank and wait there.
Red Boy also retreated and squatted beside Fangzheng. "Master, your Great Summoning Art is awesome!"
Fangzheng laughed out loud. "Amitabha. Of course! Huh? What are those two little guys doing? "
After Fangzheng said that, he walked towards the siblings who were sitting on the mound and watching the commotion.
The two little fellows looked at the scene in the river in disbelief. This was the first time they realized that this empty field could be so lively. In their memories, there should only be a few people in the field. All of them were busy working. It was dull, boring, and tiring … It was tiring just by looking at it!
"Sis, I want to grow up quickly so that I can help Mommy and the rest with their work." The little boy pinched his slender arms.
"Yes, when Brother grows up, he will definitely be better than Uncle Ziheng." The little girl nodded very seriously. In their world, they only knew that being fast at farm work was good. They did not know anything else …
The two children spoke with great anticipation. They imagined finding a huge wheat field to harvest, and then they could quickly finish it and earn a huge sum of money …
"Yes, we need to earn a lot of money. Then, we can treat Grandma. Daddy and Mommy won't have to work so hard … "The little girl looked ahead with a look of hope." This time, Daddy and Mommy should be able to earn some money. Grandma should be able to buy medicine … "
"Definitely. There's such a huge field here." The little boy spread his arms wide open as he smiled foolishly.
Fangzheng and Red Boy, who had planned on teasing the two children, suddenly froze in their spots when they heard that. They exchanged looks and saw the heartache and puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Didn't Zhou Zishan and company say that they were working hard to buy a combined harvester to become modern wheat hands? Why were the two children talking about treating Grandma? What was going on?
"Oh? Your grandma is sick? " Fangzheng sat beside the two children openly. He knew very well that there was no need to beat around the bush when interacting with children. There was no need to treat them as children, but as peers.
After Fangzheng sat down, the two children immediately tensed up. They looked at Fangzheng in silence.
Fangzheng grabbed Squirrel and hugged him. Lone Wolf lay behind Fangzheng as Fangzheng leaned against Lone Wolf's body.
Lone Wolf rolled his eyes. Was this bullying again? He wasn't a recliner!
Seeing how comfortable Fangzheng looked, the two children revealed looks of envy.
Fangzheng asked, "This Penniless Monk heard what you said. Is your grandma sick?"
The two children exchanged looks, but the girl didn't say a word. The boy thought for a moment and said, "Mommy doesn't allow it."
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng immediately understood that it was true. It was no wonder Zhou Zishan's family had come. Furthermore, they were old wheat hands. It was impossible for them to not be able to afford a machine. From the looks of it, they had really encountered financial problems, which was why they had resumed their old business. They had brandished their sickles and made their way from the northwest to the northeast.
With this in mind, Fangzheng patted the boy on the head and said, "Why doesn't Mommy allow it? You have to know that if you say it, everyone might help you. It will also make things easier for you. "
The boy immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. "Mommy said that we are people with legs. We don't beg others!" With that said, the children clenched their fists and looked at Fangzheng seriously, as though Fangzheng was insulting them.
Fangzheng was stunned by the boy's words. People with legs and hands didn't beg others? That sounded simple, but how many people in the world could do that? Although Fangzheng seldom went out, he looked at his cell phone every day. He didn't miss the news either. On the streets, there were too many able-bodied people who were begging or living off their parents at home. To put it nicely, they were waiting for an opportunity, but what was the truth?
Fangzheng suddenly realized that Zhou Zishan's family was no ordinary person! They had fighting spirit, and they had never given up hope. They had always been working hard … Previously, Fangzheng believed that they were working hard in the wrong direction, but from the looks of it, they had no other path to take. Despite knowing that it was wrong, they had to continue taking it. At the very least, this was the only hope they could grasp!
The girl might have felt that the boy's words were too forceful. She was slightly older after all. She tugged at her brother and said softly, "Mommy said that we have to rely on ourselves. We can't rely on the pity of others. Relying on the pity of others can only last for a moment, not forever. Besides, we have hands and feet to work. We haven't reached the point of begging others or being a burden to others. Grandma also said that it wasn't easy for our country to become strong. It's good to give the country less trouble. That's why they didn't let us say that we came out to earn money to treat Grandma's illness. They only said that we came out to buy a combined harvester to improve our lives. "
When Fangzheng heard that, he felt a lump in his throat as his eyes turned a little red. At the same time, he looked at Zhou Zishan, Zhou Ziyuan, Zhou Ziheng, Shen Aijia, and Zhou Jingru with an additional look of admiration. Some people's nobility did not lie in their materialism or culture. It did not lie in their speech having a few more elegant words or foreign languages. It also did not lie in their ability to not throw trash or curse. Instead, it lay in their ability to use their backbone to prop up a family when they were in dire straits while upholding their morals. This was because Fangzheng had seen too many people who used poverty as an excuse to harm others. As the saying goes, 'I'm poor, I'm right.' In fact, such people had already lost the very essence of being human.
As such, Fangzheng felt that these people were lofty. He ruffled the two kids' heads and said, "You have a good Grandma and Mommy. They are both great people. They are right. You have the ability to prop up a family. You do not need the charity or pity of others. "
Upon hearing Fangzheng say that, the two kids looked up, their faces brimming with pride. Although this was the first time they had been praised on their journey north, they were satisfied as long as someone acknowledged them. Their hearts were very big, so big that they could still uphold their morals despite being in dire straits. Their hearts were very small, so just a tiny acknowledgement was enough for them to be satisfied.
Fangzheng did not ask about the specifics. Instead, he sat there chatting with the two kids. They talked about the monastery when they were young. In the middle of the conversation, Squirrel ran off. Not long after, he returned with some wild fruits. The two kids ate them with colorful mouths as they laughed incessantly.
The work that was supposed to take two days was almost done by noon due to the addition of so many people.
After rejecting Wang Yougui's offer to treat them to a meal, they dispersed. Fangzheng thanked each and every one of them before sending them off. By the time Fangzheng, Wang Yougui, and company were done with their chores and sent the guests off, they turned their heads to see Shen Aijia setting up a metal pot to boil water. She had placed a large handful of dry noodles into the pot.
Fangzheng, Wang Yougui, Tan Juguo, and company were taken aback as they immediately rushed over.
"Patron Shen, what are you doing?" asked Fangzheng perplexed.
Shen Aijia said with a smile, "Cooking …"
Wang Yougui said helplessly, "Sis, that's no fun. Since you are working in our One Finger Village, why do you need to cook for yourselves? Let's go. Let's go to the village to eat. Eating something good will give us the strength to do more work. "
"There's no need. We brought noodles. We are used to eating noodles, not rice … "Shen Aijia shook her head immediately.
