Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old - Chapter 365

365 Genius

Chief Lu shook his head and nodded at Xue Yan, “You’re a genius. Dafu, your family has a genius!”

Xue Dafu naturally laughed even harder. His youngest son was pretty smart. If he continued studying, he would definitely be more successful in the future.

Wang Sufen opened her eyes wide and couldn’t help but exclaim with a smile, “Dafu, you must’ve worked hard for this. I’m happy to see your completed project. We’re all from the same village. In the future, when the people from our village come to use this, you won’t ask for money, right?”

This was too shameless.

!!
Xue Dafu, who was originally grinning from ear to ear, immediately stopped smiling. Chief Lu had a similar look.

Xue Wufu was the first to jump up again.

“Our family spent so much money to build this workshop, why shouldn’t we make some money from it? Do you think we had nothing better to do and built this for fun?

“Why are you tormenting us with your words? In order to make this whole thing, Yifu’s hand has been injured countless times. Didn’t you hear the sound of woodworking even from far away? Everyone didn’t dare to be careless at all.

“They can’t even sleep well at night because of how sore their bodies are some days. That was all just to build this workshop. How much effort do you think our family put in? It wasn’t that easy! For once, use your brain and think!”

Many people present were also quite dissatisfied with Wang Sufen’s comment.

Wang Sufen was naturally embarrassed, but she still smiled and said, “I’m just asking. I didn’t mean any harm. Wufu, why are you so anxious?”

“You’re not supposed to ask that from the start!” Xue Wufu was still furious.

Xue Dafu didn’t want to make the scene blow over, so he said, “We’ve discussed it with the rest. When the time comes, we’ll charge ten coins for sixty kilograms of rice, and twenty coins for a hundred and twenty kilograms of rice. So a hundred and eighty kilograms would naturally be thirty coins.”

“That sounds like a fair price.” The one who immediately agreed was Chief Lu, who was delighted with the news. Just now, he was also a little angry because of what Wang Sufen said. “Usually, we would remove the husk ourselves for several days and we can only get about sixty kilograms of rice.

“The rice people in town who specialize in grain removing are paid fifteen coins a day. Even they can’t get sixty kilograms of rice per day. Ten coins for sixty kilograms is reasonable. Dafu, you’re too kind. Thank you for this.”

As the head of the village, if there was anything inappropriate in the village, Chief Lu would always be the first to speak up and talk it out. Since he said it was appropriate, it must be true that they were being generous about it.

However, when Wang Sufen heard that 60 kilograms of grain would cost ten coins, she immediately wanted to say something. However, after what happened just now, she immediately closed her mouth. She drooped her eyes, as if she had just been reprimanded for a crime.

Chief Lu was so angry about Wang Sufen’s action that he could not help but speak up. “If you think it’s expensive, then don’t give it to a rich family to do it for you. Why didn’t you just think of this whole idea yourself? If you have an issue, you can leave this village!”

When Chief Lu said that to Wang Sufen, the words that she kept at the tip of her tongue immediately shot out in defense the moment everyone started walking away.

“No one said anything about leaving the village! Didn’t any of you hear what Wufu said just now? I think this whole thing is too expensive, especially because they won’t even have to be the ones pushing the mill to remove the husk.

“Wasn’t it expensive because they used humans or animals to push the mill? If you all agree to this price, that means that for every time you pay them, this rich family will be earning ten coins per use!

“Are you all seriously going to give your money away just like that?!”

When they came out of the workshop and were on their way back, Wang Sufen couldn’t help but say to the people who were going back with her, “Ten coins for sixty kilograms is too expensive. They won’t even need to do much work for it to remove the husk. The workshop can complete sixty kilograms in a short while. In other words, Dafu’s family will be able to earn ten coins by just sitting and lazing around. This is all our hard-earned money. Dafu’s family is so black-hearted, why are they trying to extort all our money!”

She was full of complaints.

Someone actually agreed, “Yeah, we’re from the same village. Why can’t they sell it at a cheaper price? They’re so rich that they even had money to build a workshop. They’re just expecting us to pay for their well-being, isn’t it?”

Chief Lu was so angry that he raised his fist and trembled. “If you think it’s expensive, then go to town instead!”
