Chapter 568: Criticism

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the voices opposing Gu Zi’s proposal had subsided, Su Ming stood up. His posture was as upright as a pine tree, hands on his hips, he spoke without hesitation, “Enough! Where has anyone acted recklessly? I find this proposal fair. After all, when you were slinging mud at the pig farm, weren’t you also acting recklessly? Otherwise, why would you be here?”

Su Ming’s stern expression silenced the crowd for a moment. He then turned to Gu Zi and said, “Little Su’s wife, I think your proposal is reasonable. When the investigation results come out, we will proceed as you suggested. I’m not afraid to speak plainly today; this matter must be settled.

“You all should have a clear understanding of how much electricity each household pays annually, and how much the Su family pays. You know very well that you’ve been taking advantage of the pig farm, letting Su Shen bear the brunt of the costs.

“In the three villages, each household pays much less for electricity than they actually use. Yet, you still come here to make a fuss. Have you lost all your conscience, behaving so inhumanely?”

Su Ming’s words were clear and sharp. Although he didn’t directly accuse anyone of lacking conscience, everyone understood his implication. The last few sentences were directed at the people from Chen Village. Seeing the village head defending the Su family, and fearing Gu Zi’s suggestion of relocating the factory, they all stood up, accusing the people from Chen Village without mincing words.

Some hot-blooded young men even clenched their fists, wishing they could punch those few people away.

The people from Chen Village were indeed despicable. Not to mention the electricity bills, even the discounts Su Shen had given to the villagers over the years were enough to earn the gratitude of the three villages.

If Su Shen really became disheartened this time and chose to move the factory, wouldn’t the three villages revert to their original state?

In this day and age, relying solely on farming for a living would lead to starvation. The people from Chen Village were truly heartless, trying to bring everyone down with them!

Everyone had something to say, and if each person spat once, they could drown the few people in the middle. Their faces turned pale, and their mouths were full of apologies. They were on the verge of kneeling down.

Gu Zi ignored the criticism on the side. She wouldn’t repay evil with kindness. The people from Chen Village needed a lesson. They wanted the Su family to take the blame for the power outage, but in the end, they became the despised ones. They deserved it.

Su Ming said to Gu Zi, “Su Shen called. He will be back in the village tonight. We need to hold a village meeting. I told Li Zhu to come and pick you up with the ox cart in the evening.”

Upon hearing the news about Su Shen, a smile finally appeared on Gu Zi’s face. “Alright, I will be there on time. Thank you, village head, for today. I will tell Su Shen everything.”

Hearing Gu Zi’s words, Su Ming showed a kind and joyful smile. “What’s there to thank? Didn’t you hear what they said just now? Su Shen and I share the same surname, Su. Five hundred years ago, we were from the same family! Alright, alright, stop cursing at these people. At six o’clock this afternoon, each family should send a representative to the village office. We are going to have a meeting.”
