Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

The rest of the villagers planted similar crops, with the largest number planting less than two acres.

After all, Zeng Zhengen had only a limited amount of potato seeds, so no one planted many.

However, although they didn't plant much, they still had several hundred kilograms of potatoes, which was enough for them to last until next spring.

The villagers of Fulai Village were jealous when they saw that they had harvested so many potatoes.

"If we had known earlier, we should have been thick-skinned and asked those new villagers for some seeds to plant."

"Who says it's not true? This one acre of land can yield several hundred kilograms of harvest!"

"Why don't we ask them for some seeds now, and then we can plant them directly next year."

"But if we go over and ask them for seeds, will they agree to give them to us?"

"How about we go find the village chief first and ask him?"

The villagers of Fulai Village gathered together and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to go find the village chief.

In their eyes, the village chief is the highest official in the village. If the village chief comes forward, the new villagers will definitely not dare to refuse his words.

The villagers of Fulai Village marched toward the home of Village Chief Chen in a mighty procession.

Village Chief Chen was also sighing at home at this time, and his wife was complaining about him.

"Look at you, I told you to ask them if they could give us some seeds to plant, but you refused to listen. Now they have harvested hundreds of kilograms of potatoes from one acre of land!"

"If you had listened to me, wouldn't we be able to harvest several hundred kilograms of potatoes now?"

The village chief’s wife was really angry. This was several hundred kilograms of grain!

This family could eat this food for quite some time, but now it’s gone. Village Chief Chen’s wife feels like her heart is bleeding!

Village Chief Chen sat on a stool, covering his face with his hands, and was also very upset.

The village head's wife was still chattering on and on, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from a villager outside.

The village chief's wife also stopped nagging, got up and went outside to open the door.

But as soon as she opened the gate, she saw villagers flocking in.

"Village chief, village chief, you have to help us this time!"

The leading villager did not give the village head's wife any chance to ask questions and started yelling directly into the house.

Although the village chief's wife was a little unhappy, she still considered her husband's face, so she pushed the door open and let everyone in.

"If you have anything to say, please go into the yard and talk! It's not a good idea to stand at the door like this!" The village chief's wife forced a smile on her face.

After getting the consent, the villagers squeezed in from the side.

Village Chief Chen had already stood up from his stool at this time. After the villagers entered the yard, they saw Village Chief Chen and started chattering.

"Village chief, those new villagers have been harvesting potatoes recently. I heard that the yield can reach several hundred kilograms per acre!"

"That's right! Village Chief, you are the village chief of Fulai Village. You have to work for the welfare of all of us!"

The villagers were talking to each other, and Village Chief Chen's brows were furrowed more and more.

When the village chief's wife heard what the villagers said, she immediately became angry.

"What are you talking about here! Ever since our boss took the position of power here, when has he not considered all of you?"

The villagers felt embarrassed after being yelled at by the village head's wife.

“We didn’t say anything!”

"That's right! We can't even talk to each other!"

Seeing that his wife was about to get into an argument with the villagers, Village Chief Chen hurried forward to interrupt them.

"Why did you come to see me today?" asked Village Chief Chen.

When the conversation got down to business, the villagers stopped making a fuss.

"Village chief, you should know about the potato harvesting by the new villagers! This time we came here to ask you, village chief, to ask for some potato seeds for the new villagers to plant. We don't want too much, just enough for one acre of land. If we can't get one acre of land, then half an acre of land will be fine." A villager said as a matter of course.

When Village Chief Chen heard what this man said, his brows furrowed even more.

"It might be difficult to ask those villagers for seeds. We..." Village Chief Chen spoke hesitantly, but before he could finish his words, his wife interrupted him.

"Boss, I think the villagers' idea is good. Why don't you go and make a trip. If you can get potato seeds, we can plant potatoes next year." The village chief's wife said excitedly.

However, Village Chief Chen's face was full of worry. He knew very well that even if he asked the new villagers for potato seeds, he would not be able to get them.

Who made them offend those villagers because of Wang Zhang's matter!

Village chief Chen looked at the villagers' expectant eyes and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with the villagers over there, but I can't guarantee that I can get the seeds back." Village chief Chen felt that he had to say the ugly words up front, lest these people continue to make trouble if he didn't get the seeds later.

But as soon as Village Chief Chen finished speaking, before the other villagers could speak, the village chief's wife spoke.

"Boss, you are the village chief of Fulai Village. Those new villagers are under your jurisdiction! If you ask for their approval, they will surely not dare to refuse." The village chief's wife said this as if it were a matter of course.

But the village chief was about to be mad at this silly woman.

The reason why he said that was because he was not 100% sure, but this silly woman was trying to sabotage him. If he failed to do it this time, wouldn't these villagers think that he, the village chief, was incompetent?

Will the villagers still believe him after this? How will he manage these villagers in the future?

However, the villagers didn't care about that. They all nodded in agreement after hearing what the village head's wife said.

"That's right! Village chief, you are the village chief of our Fulai Village. How could those new villagers not listen to you?" A villager took the lead and said.

"That's right! As long as you go there, village chief, they will definitely take out the potato seeds obediently."

The rest of the villagers followed suit.

Village chief Chen felt bitter when he saw the villagers this time. Others didn't know how difficult those villagers were, but he had dealt with them so many times and he knew it very well.

If he had gone to ask for potato seeds before they had offended the villagers, there might have been some hope, but now it is probably difficult.
