Yun Fujin nodded and raised his voice.
"People's hearts aren't as simple as they used to be. Especially this year when the harvest in the fields is good. Those with poor harvests might get envious. Even if it's just a possibility, we should plan ahead and stay vigilant."
Li Guo didn't understand why Yun Fujin suddenly sighed like this, but he thought Yun Fujin's words made sense, so he agreed and repeatedly promised that he would keep a good watch.
Yun Fujin chatted with Li Guo for a while before leaving.
After leaving the field, when he reached the cornfield at the southernmost end, Yun Que'er suddenly popped out.
"Big Brother!"
"Be careful. Don't let anyone see you."
Yun Fujin warily looked around and quickly pulled Yun Que'er into the minivan that had been waiting by the roadside.
Li Chengfu was sitting in the driver's seat. "How was it? Did you guys handle everything?"
"Yeah, it went smoothly. The buyer looked at the agreement and didn't say anything."
Li Chengfu smiled. "It's a good deal for him. He won't have any objections."
Li Guo didn't know that the agreement stated that the Yun family would be fully responsible for the quality of the fruits.
If any problems occurred, the buyer would never be held responsible.
If an accident happened midway, the Yun family would also bear the losses.
For the buyer, this was a once - in - a - millennium good deal.
Moreover, after signing the agreement, Yun Fujin would take it for notarization. If the Yun family breached the contract, they would have to bear the responsibility.
It would be stupid of him not to agree.
"However, if something unexpected does happen, you guys will suffer losses." Li Chengfu reminded.
Yun Fujin sat in the back seat with his arms crossed, his head down, silent.
After a while, he slightly raised his head.
"Zhang Hui is deeply ingrained with bad habits. Even after spending so many years inside, he hasn't changed a bit. If we don't go all out this time to really bring him down, he'll keep looking for trouble for our family."
It wasn't that the Yun family couldn't afford these losses. Losing some money was just a small thing.
But if Zhang Hui went crazy enough, like he did a few years ago, and targeted the family members, that would be unbearable.
So this time, they had to let Zhang Hui truly taste how serious the consequences would be.
Only in this way could Zhang Hui finally stop causing trouble.
Li Chengfu nodded understandingly.
Money was just something external, but it was absolutely unacceptable for family members to get hurt.
Even if they had nothing and had no chance of making a comeback, as long as the family could be together happily, it would be a good life.
"Has Zhang Hui taken the bait?" Li Chengfu asked.
Yun Que'er smiled. "Don't worry. He's an impatient person. Once he has an idea, he must act on it. Otherwise, he won't be willing. So he came early this morning."
As soon as Yun Fujin left his home in the town, Yun Que'er followed suit and left the house, always keeping a discreet distance in the shadows.
Before long, Zhang Hui appeared in Yun Que'er's sight. He was sneaky all the way, following Yun Fujin to Yuhe Village.
When Yun Fujin was talking to Li Guo and the buyer, Zhang Hui was not far away and must have heard everything.
Come to think of it, this was also giving Zhang Hui a chance to turn back.
If he could realize that this matter was too risky and turn back in time, it would be a happy ending for everyone.
The outcome depended on how Zhang Hui chose.
The matter of purchasing the fruits was put on the agenda. After paying the deposit, the buyer led the workers into the orchard.
The fruits of the Yun family this year were big and plump. They would surely fetch a good price in the market.
Moreover, the buyer had connections and had contacted a canned - food factory in the county. Most of the fruits would be transported there.
So although it was said that the purchase would be in batches, in fact, each shipment would be several trucks. At most, three or four times would be enough.
During this period, Li Guo found some of his relatives to help keep watch, taking turns day and night, leaving no chance for Zhang Hui.
This really worried him.
On the day before the last batch of fruits was to be transported out, Yun Fujin personally returned to Yuhe Village.
"Tomorrow, it will all be over." Yun Fujin said, looking at the vast expanse of greenery.
The buyer nodded. "Are you relieved now? I said I wouldn't go back on my word midway, but you still insisted on signing an agreement. To be honest, young man, I've never seen a client like you. If I really wanted to cheat you, that piece of paper could send you to court."
Yun Fujin smiled. "I could tell from the start that you're not the kind of person who would break a promise. So it's right to give you a guarantee."
The buyer felt that he understood Yun Fujin even less.
"If you trust me, why do it like this?"
Yun Fujin just smiled and didn't answer.
Some things were just indescribable.
After a while, Yun Fujin whispered.
"There's a happy event in the family. We're in a hurry to buy a house, but we can't gather enough money for the time being. So we had to sign this agreement with you. I'm really sorry. Please don't mind."
The man nodded. "No wonder."
Yun Fujin took a deep look into the depths of the forest and waved to Li Guo.
"Brother Li, the last batch of fruits will be taken away tomorrow. Treat the brothers to a good meal tonight. Then you can all go home."
"Sure thing."
At night, Yun Fujin bought a lot of food and invited a chef from a big restaurant in the town to cook at home.
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, everyone beside them stared wide - eyed.
"Hey, we've worked for other people before, but the food was just a few buns and some pickles. Your family really treats us well."
"Who said young people don't know how to do business? I think this young boss is great. It's only right that he's rich."
"Yeah, little brother. If you have any more work in the future, remember to call us."
Yun Fujin was surrounded like a star. He smiled gently, picked up his wine glass.
"Don't flatter me. You've all worked hard recently. I'd like to toast you."
Everyone ate, laughed, and drank. They were so happy that before they knew it, they were all a bit drunk.
As the host, Yun Fujin also drank a lot. His face was flushed, and his eyes were a bit glazed.
Li Guo was in better shape. He still had some sense and was taking care of everyone.
"Stop drinking. We still have to keep watch on the fields tonight. If you're all drunk, who will do the work?"
Yun Fujin's unfocused eyes slowly focused, and he slowly waved his hand.
"No need. It's just one night. I don't think anything will happen."
Outside, under the wall, Zhang Hui's heart was pounding like thunder.
He had been squatting for so long that his feet were numb. He listened to the commotion inside but didn't dare to act.
Now that he heard what Yun Fujin said, Zhang Hui finally felt that the pent - up anger in his heart was relieved a bit.
Thank goodness. He finally found an opportunity.
He spat at the window. "Damn it. You guarded against me like I was a thief. This time, I'll make you suffer a big loss!"
After cursing, Zhang Hui hurriedly rushed towards the fields.
Looking at the big and plump fruits on the trees, Zhang Hui showed an evil smile.
