Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 267 Have you crossed the line?

Li Tiedan quickly edited a long WeChat message, which stated that Lu Yang from Taohua Village wanted to buy a large quantity of peaches from their Li Village at a price of twenty yuan per kilogram.

He now needs help to pick peaches for his family, and he asked some villagers to come and help them.

The moment the WeChat message was sent, the WeChat group in Li Village exploded: "What? Li Tiedan, did you send the wrong message?"

"Yeah, how could anyone buy peaches for such an exorbitant price as twenty yuan? Unless they're out of their mind!"

"Li Tiedan, has your condition worsened again? Is that why you're talking nonsense in the group?"

"..."

Faced with numerous doubts, Li Tiedan quickly began to communicate with them: "Listen, everyone, my illness is now completely cured, and the person who cured me is none other than the divine physician Lu Yang from Tao Hua Cheng!"

"If you don't believe me, you can come here to confirm, or you can go to Peach Blossom Village and ask Doctor Lu how skilled he really is."

"As for the fact that Dr. Lu bought large quantities of peaches from our Li Village at twenty yuan per kilogram, that's certainly true. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come to our house and confirm it in front of Dr. Lu!"

As soon as Li Tiedan finished speaking, someone in the WeChat group immediately said, "I can testify that what Li Tiedan said is true. I also heard from the villagers of Peach Blossom Village not long ago that Doctor Lu's medical skills are amazing. He cured a terminal brain cancer patient in their village!"

"Since Dr. Lu truly possesses such remarkable medical skills, does that mean it's also true that he's buying large quantities of peaches at twenty yuan per kilogram?"

"I can testify that Dr. Lu was also buying large quantities of peaches in their Peach Blossom Village yesterday, at a price of twenty yuan per jin!"

"I've heard about it too. I've also heard that some villagers, instigated by malicious individuals, are saying that Dr. Lu is offering them 20 yuan per kilogram for their peaches, which is too low and that he's squeezing their hard-earned money. So they're refusing to sell their peaches to Dr. Lu!"

"What? There are still such foolish people? It's like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!"

"Yes! These are simply the most foolish people in the world. Doctor Lu kindly bought everyone's peaches at the exorbitant price of twenty yuan per kilogram, hoping to share some good food with everyone, and they actually said that Doctor Lu was exploiting them. They must be out of their minds!"

"I'm going to Li Tiedan's house right now to ask Doctor Lu about the situation. If he's really planning to buy peaches from our Li Village at the exorbitant price of twenty yuan per kilogram, then I'm prepared to sell all of our peaches to him!"

"I also want to sell to Dr. Lu. Dr. Lu is coming to our Li Village to buy peaches purely for the benefit of all the villagers. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll be the first to object!"

"Me too, I'm definitely going to beat him until he poops out!"

"I second that..."

Before long, a large number of Li Village villagers gathered outside Li Tiedan's courtyard.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, a villager asked him directly, "Dr. Lu, is what you said true?"

"Are you really planning to buy up all the peaches from every villager in Licun at the exorbitant price of twenty yuan per kilogram?"

Although the others did not ask, they all turned their eager gazes toward Lu Yang, wanting to see if it was true.

Seeing the eager gazes of the crowd, Lu Yang immediately smiled, nodded, and announced loudly, "It's true! Not only is it true, but I've also decided that any villager willing to supply me long-term can immediately sign a contract with me for future supplies!"

"From now on, I will purchase your peaches every year at a price of twenty yuan per kilogram!"

"However, I want to remind everyone in advance that every household must guarantee that the peaches they provide are of the highest quality; you can't substitute inferior ones!"

"If they're using inferior ingredients, then I'll refuse to buy their peaches anymore!"

"I will include this clause in the long-term supply contract!"

Once the villagers confirmed that Lu Yang was indeed prepared to buy their peaches at the exorbitant price of twenty yuan per kilogram, the entire village erupted in excitement: "Great! That's fantastic!"

"Our painstakingly cultivated peaches can finally fetch astronomical prices!"

"We're all going to get rich by following Dr. Lu!"

"Haha...I'm so excited and thrilled..."

"I've decided that I'm going to sign a long-term supply contract with Dr. Lu. I will absolutely not sell our family's substandard products to him. That would be too unfair to Dr. Lu's trust in us and his kind heart in trying to help us get rich!"

"If anyone dares to pass off inferior goods as superior ones, I'll be the first to kill them!"

"Me too, I will fully support Dr. Lu!"

"I second that..."

Like Peach Blossom Village, Li Village's peaches could only sell for a maximum of two yuan per kilogram each year. Now, Lu Yang was offering them a sky-high price of twenty yuan per kilogram, for which they were truly grateful and did not think that Lu Yang was making more money or that he was exploiting their hard-earned money.

Seeing that all the villagers present were so supportive of him, Lu Yang was naturally overjoyed and satisfied.

He immediately addressed the villagers present, saying, "Alright, now I'm going to start purchasing peaches at the threshing ground in front of Li Tiedan's courtyard. You can go home and pick the peaches from your own orchards and bring them here!"

"Today I'm personally making the acquisitions here. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for Li Tiedan and Lin Wan'er to assist me. You must support their work then!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Dr. Lu, rest assured, I will not only support Li Tiedan and Lin Wan'er's work, but I will also provide them with free assistance in their acquisition efforts!"

"I'll help too, to stop some bad people from causing trouble!"

"Me too……"

The villagers of Li Village were not only very supportive, but also volunteered to help, which naturally made Lu Yang very happy and satisfied once again!

Immediately, many villagers began to help Lu Yang set up his goods on the dam site and assist with the purchasing.

However, just then, a very arrogant and angry voice came from behind the crowd: "You fool from Peach Blossom Village, you're buying peaches from our Li Village, aren't you overstepping your bounds?"
