Chapter 225 - 224: Spending Money to Learn a Lesson
The villagers pointed at Granny Guo and scolded her fiercely, "Granny Guo, we’re all from the same village. Whenever your family was in trouble, we were always there to help you out. Now that there’s a benefit to be had, you only think of yourselves. That’s no way to be a person."
The village chief also sternly criticized Granny Guo, "The boss is willing to pay a high price for our apples because of his kindness. You should be thanking him, not giving him a hard time. If everyone acted like you, who would dare to come to our village to buy apples in the future?"
The village chief, true to his role as an official, was incredibly skilled at putting on the pressure.
Yet he seemed to forget that he was the one who had initially led the villagers to surround Shen Mingzhu and her group.
The Guo family might be selfish, but the village chief and the villagers weren’t exactly saints either.
If today Shen Mingzhu did not agree to buy the two thousand five hundred kilograms of apples, whether she could leave Red Star Village safely was an unknown.
Granny Guo, scolded by the villagers and the village chief, was so ashamed she couldn’t bear it, and the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family didn’t even dare to let out a peep.
Even they, as brash as they were, didn’t dare to go against the village chief or the whole village.

The results of the draw were quickly announced.
