Meng Haisheng's mind was full of various ways to make money, and suddenly there was a burst of urgent horn sound behind him.

He looked back and unexpectedly met Luo Xiao again.

"Brother Haisheng, what a coincidence, I'm going back to the city, just in time to give you a ride."

Luo Xiao smiled and stopped the tractor in front of Meng Haisheng, and enthusiastically helped him put the cart on the tractor.

"Luo Xiao, I'm really troubling you."

"What trouble is it? This is fate."

This time Luo Xiao didn't let Meng Haisheng sit in the truck bed, but sat in the co-pilot seat.

The two chatted all the way from Haiqing Town to Muping Town, and Luo Xiao told Meng Haisheng about his family background.

It turned out that Luo Xiao was a technician at the Qinggu City Tractor Factory, and several surrounding counties and cities were under his jurisdiction.

Luo Xiao was very enthusiastic and sent Meng Haisheng all the way to the entrance of Xiashan Village before leaving.

With his help, the sun was just setting when Meng Haisheng returned to the village.

"When will I buy a tractor? Then I won't have to worry about not being able to sell my products."

Meng Haisheng pushed his cart towards the village and saw Uncle Meng coming down another hillside with a hoe in the distance.

He greeted Uncle Meng loudly, but he didn't know if he didn't hear him or not even looked at him.

When Meng Haisheng entered the village, the villagers had just returned from the fields.

Most of the villagers didn't take the initiative to greet Meng Haisheng.

After all, his reputation was too bad before.

I'm afraid that every family in the village has been yelled at by Meng Haisheng.

But Meng Haisheng didn't walk through the crowd with a cold face and slightly raised chin as he did in the past.

At this moment, Meng Haisheng had a faint smile on his face and greeted everyone he met, calling them uncle, grandpa, aunt and so on affectionately.

Some people saw Meng Haisheng like this and started to murmur in their hearts.

"Did Meng Haisheng take the wrong medicine today? Why did he suddenly greet the villagers?"

"This kid is full of bad intentions. I was suspicious when he smiled."

"I just saw him pushing two baskets with a lot of things in them. Did he steal things from the villagers to sell?"

When someone said this, everyone was shocked and quickly thought about whether they had lost anything at home recently.

"Haisheng, where have you been?"

Meng Haisheng's aunt Liang Xiaocui had already seen that the cloth bag in his basket was bulging, as if it was filled with a large piece of meat.

Meng Haisheng was idle all day long, so where would he get the money to buy meat? He must have stolen it.

"I just came back from selling cucumbers."

None of the villagers present believed what Meng Haisheng said.

If a lazy man like him could sell cucumbers, the cucumbers in their fields would not always be in the fields.

Liang Xiaocui obviously didn't believe it either.

She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Haisheng, don't lie to me. I've never seen you sell cucumbers at the market before."

"I'm a woman who changes."

Meng Haisheng is not a good-tempered person. If Liang Xiaocui had spoken to him like this before, he would have yelled at her.

Now!

Meng Haisheng was too lazy to even explain.

He was just about to bypass Liang Xiaocui and go home to show his newly bought sandals to Lin Mucheng and Momo.

But Liang Xiaocui was a jerk. She stretched out her hand and tore open the cloth bag in Meng Haisheng's basket.

The meat, noodles, sandals, and fabric inside leaked out.

Liang Xiaocui screamed in an exaggerated way.

"Meng Haisheng, what bad things have you done again? Otherwise, where would you get so much money to buy things?"

The villagers who had just watched stretched their necks to look into Meng Haisheng's basket.

When they saw what was in the bag, almost everyone suspected that Meng Haisheng had done something bad again.

Some shook their heads, some sighed, and some gloated.

"Auntie, why do you have to hold me back? I can't go to the market to sell cucumbers or buy things."

Meng Haisheng's face was dark, and his tone was obviously not very good.

This auntie of his was the best at stirring up trouble, and his mother had suffered a lot at her hands over the years.

Meng Haisheng was really annoyed when he saw her.

"How much can you sell these two baskets of cucumbers for? Let alone other things, these three pairs of shoes plus noodles, meat, and cloth, I'm afraid it will cost ten yuan, and it won't be enough if you sell two more baskets of cucumbers."

Other families in the village also grow cucumbers.

"I also went to the market to sell cucumbers this morning. I went there before dawn to occupy a good position. I sold about 80 kilograms in the morning, and took the rest back."

As soon as Meng Changxi finished speaking, Meng Haisheng turned his head and looked at him.

His eyes were like ice, which made Meng Changxi feel nervous.

Meng Changxi was a neighbor of Meng Haisheng in the same alley.

He was a few years older than Meng Haisheng and had just gotten married this year. His wife was not only ugly but also very fierce. She had bullied Lin Mucheng before..

Meng Haisheng glanced at Meng Changxi and gritted his teeth.

In his previous life, Meng Haisheng returned to the village after doing well outside.

He found that Meng Changxi had contracted land in the village and used the excuse of reclaiming wasteland to privately open up Lin Mucheng's tomb.

Lin Mucheng, who was originally in the ancestral tomb of Meng Haisheng's family, was inexplicably dug up and taken to Meng Changxi's house.

At first, Meng Haisheng thought that Meng Changxi liked Lin Mucheng.

Later, when he saw Meng Changxi's distant cousin Meng Changyue holding a bouquet of red roses and placing it in front of Lin Mucheng's tomb, he was completely blown up.

In the following years, Meng Changyue had been fighting with Meng Haisheng, and this fight lasted for a lifetime.

As an accomplice, it would be strange if Meng Haisheng didn't get angry when he saw Meng Changxi.

In this life, no one can compete with him for Lin Mucheng, not even Meng Changyue, who is already rich now.

Meng Haisheng looked at Meng Changxi with a fake smile.

"Brother Changxi, you went to Xiaokouzi Village to sell cucumbers."

"Yes, the market was full of mud today and there were few people. Even cucumbers at 8 cents a pound were hard to sell."

The markets in the village were very small, and villagers from several surrounding villages went to the market.

Such markets have few people and cheap prices.

Meng Haisheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That is, I went to the big market in Haiqing Town to sell them. There are several large factories in the town, and the workers have money. Cucumbers are 20 cents a pound, and they are sold out in one morning."

Meng Changxi was sour when he heard that Meng Haisheng sold cucumbers at 20 cents a pound.

He only sold them at 8 cents a pound, so he was losing a lot by comparison.

Liang Xiaocui, who was standing aside, laughed when she heard that Meng Haisheng went to Haiqing Town to sell cucumbers.

"Meng Haisheng, can you please stop lying? Haiqing Town is more than 30 miles away from here."

"You push a cart of cucumbers, and you can come back before dark after selling cucumbers."

"Don't you think it's possible? You will be exhausted."

The villagers have been to Haiqing Town for the big market before, so they naturally know that it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Some elders from Meng Haisheng's family saw that Meng Haisheng was full of lies and couldn't help but start to blame him.

He is lazy and bullies his own family. The villagers can't control it, but he can't always bully the villagers.

Tricking everyone to Haiqing Town, not to mention the fatigue of going back and forth, it really wastes too much time.

Meng Haisheng saw that the villagers didn't believe him no matter what he said, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

It was because of his bad reputation that he caused the current situation.

Meng Haisheng looked at Uncle Meng from a distance, carrying a hoe and walking towards them slowly.

Meng Haisheng thought of the encounter with Uncle Meng at the entrance of the village just now.

Today he must explain the matter clearly in front of the villagers.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, everyone will definitely not believe him.

"Grandpa, tell me, did I go to sell cucumbers today? When I came back in the afternoon, there was a tractor to take me to the entrance of the village."

Everyone heard that Meng Haisheng actually came back on a tractor, so what he said about going to Haiqing Town to sell cucumbers might be true.

"Why are you so slow, kid? Send my cart back to me after you use it."

"There are so many things to do at home, and you still have time to talk nonsense here."

Although Uncle Meng was scolding Meng Haisheng, he looked proud on his face.

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll put the cart at the door for you, or in the yard."

"Put it at the door."

Uncle Meng took off the bamboo hat on his head and used it to fan himself.

Just now outside the village, he saw Meng Haisheng didn't sell his cart, and it was sent back by someone with a tractor.

He was so shocked that his beard was about to stand up.

Uncle Meng knew what kind of person Meng Haisheng was.

Now seeing that he was really going to turn over a new leaf, he was happy for him.

Under the various gazes of the crowd, Meng Haisheng pushed the cart away happily.

When he walked in front of Liang Xiaocui, he deliberately stopped for a moment.

"Auntie, don't despise the poor young man. Just take care of your own family affairs and don't stretch your hands so far."

Meng Haisheng strode forward without waiting for Liang Xiaocui to speak.

Liang Xiaocui was so angry that she was about to scold Meng Haisheng, but was stopped by Uncle Meng.

"Haishen finally learned well. He went to sell cucumbers. Why are you grumbling here?"

Everyone heard Uncle Meng say that Meng Haisheng really borrowed his cart to sell cucumbers at the market early this morning.

Everyone's face was full of disbelief.

"Is Meng Haisheng going to learn well?"

Liang Xiaocui snorted coldly and pouted her lips in a sour tone.

"It's just selling cucumbers. I guess his family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat. He has no choice but to sell cucumbers."

"In the past, his family was also so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, but he didn't sell cucumbers. Instead, he stole from all over the village.""People can change. Haisheng has been smart since he was a child. Maybe he has finally gotten wise."

When talking about the past, many villagers gnashed their teeth.

Last year, if it weren't for the fact that they all had the surname Meng, the villagers really wanted to report Meng Haisheng to the police station and let him be shot.

But after all, they all had the surname Meng and were from the same village.

If Meng Haisheng could really turn over a new leaf, the villagers would still be very happy. At least they wouldn't have to worry about their things being stolen.
