Chapter 426: The Stubborn Village Chief

The middle-aged man looked like someone who had been working in the fields all year round. He was about 1.75 meters tall, and the exposed muscles on his body were all bronze, making him look powerful. read

And there were many traces of ultraviolet burns. The face looked like it had been burned by fire, with a small burn.

Although Li Yi was taller than the opponent, for some reason, Li Yi had a feeling that there was a very powerful force in this body.

The middle-aged man did not speak first. Instead, like Li Yi, they stood there and looked at each other.

This scene lasted for about ten minutes. When everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Li Yi stretched out his hand: "My name is Li Yi, I don't know what to call me?"

The middle-aged man did not stretch out his hand, but put down the hoe he was carrying on his shoulder, leaned it on the ground, and said calmly: "Are you here to do Lao Shizi's charity again? We don't need you to tell us what to do in our village. , Go back to where you came from!”

Everyone looked at each other, but this was expected.

Before they came here, they knew what the people in Tongcang Village were like, so it was normal for them to be rejected.

Fortunately this time, at least we can see the village chief, so we can talk. The so-called entrepreneurs who came in the previous batch didn't even see the village chief's face.

Li Yi smiled and retracted his hand, but he didn't feel too embarrassed. He smiled to himself and said: "Village chief, I know the current situation in your village. Gangzi has told me, and I have no other intentions." , I don’t want to do any charity, I just want to lend a hand and help!”

The dark-skinned middle-aged man frowned and said, "What did Gangzi tell you?"

Li Yi said with a serious face: "I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. We also understand the current situation in the village. Village chief, I am not telling you that more than a thousand households eat wild vegetables and fruits. This Is it a long-term solution?”

"We understand that you don't want to be disturbed by the noise from the outside world, but why can't you accept well-intentioned help from the outside world?"

Hearing this, the village chief slowly frowned and said in a deep voice: "Our village does not want to have anything to do with the outside world! People from the outside world want to build schools, and talk about how good life in the city is and what good things it has to offer. The place where people eat people hasn’t changed in many years!”

Li Yi sighed. The village chief was indeed right. In fact, the nature of cannibalism has not changed much.

But the problem is that it’s not the same thing if Tongcun Village continues like this!

If the village chief still refuses to accept help from himself and the mayor Chen Ruqing, how long can the village persist?

At this time, Chen Ruqing walked up slowly and said with a smile: "Hello, comrade village chief, my name is Chen Ruqing, and I am the mayor of the town. I was here last time, but you were not the village chief at that time! "

Mayor? The middle-aged man frowned. The last village chief was his third uncle. His third uncle mentioned to him that the mayor of Jinyuan Town was a nice person. Of course, by nice, he meant a nice person.

The middle-aged man looked better when he recalled this incident. After all, he was a mayor, so he had to give him the face he deserved.

"Mayor, we know what you mean, but this is a bit embarrassing. Our ancestors have taught us that we are not allowed to have contact with outsiders..."

Hearing this, Chen Ruqing's expression suddenly became helpless. People in this village are becoming more and more stubborn!

Can't they see the current situation clearly?

As soon as these words were said, the faces of the young people who were resting behind and struggling to bring the food in all became unhappy.

Although we collected a lot of money, we still worked hard to bring the food to you step by step!

But you are so stubborn that you don’t want it even if you say you don’t want it? It’s fine if you don’t even say thank you, but is this attitude too much? Apart from anything else, there is hard work without credit, right?

One of the youngest juniors stood up and was about to argue with the village chief. Wei Sanpao, who was standing aside, immediately stopped him!

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The young man said angrily: "What can I do? We risked our lives and were almost buried in a landslide! We just picked up these grains. Look what they said? They took us seriously." ?"

As soon as the young junior said these words, people scattered in the surrounding towns all agreed!

"This is just because of the money given by Boss Li. Otherwise, who would come to this unfortunate place?"

Li Yi sighed slowly. These people actually did not have any malicious intent, it was just human nature.

From this perspective, they are indeed helping Tongcun Village bring food with good intentions.

But the village chief didn't appreciate it. No matter what, it was the village chief who had some problems.

Li Yi turned to these young people and said: "Everyone calm down. It's a good job that you have persisted until now. We will talk about this later. The villagers in Tongcang Village are the same as us. We must respect them more." Their choice!”

After all, Li Yi was the sponsor, and few people refuted what he said. These young people could only snort, but they all stopped and stopped talking.

Li Yi saw that everyone had quieted down, so he turned around and said to the village chief: "Village chief, we really want to help. To be honest, you have seen that these young people are actually unwilling to come. Because I paid them, these young men gave up their good jobs and followed me into this wilderness!"

"I know the rules of your village, and I am willing to respect them, but rules are dead, and people are alive! The thousands of villagers in Tongxiang Village cannot be killed by these rules! Human life is always above the rules!"

After saying this, Li Yi didn't even look at the village chief, and moved all the food to the entrance of the village by himself.

Seeing this, Wei Sanpao immediately stepped forward to help. Although the young people sitting in the open space felt a little aggrieved, they also did it.

These young people are all in their early twenties, which reminds the middle-aged man of the young men in his village. They are all of the same age, but aren't those young men the same?

In order to let his family eat something good, he went up the mountain to hunt and dig wild vegetables without complaint. Such a life is about to change. If someone comes to help from outside, should he refuse?

The middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes, thinking of the teacher who came to the village at that time, and felt inexplicably sad...

"I said the wrong thing, come with me into the village!"
