“Chief?” Jiang Chuan called out uncertainly.

The village chief seemed to have just come back to his senses and sighed, “Finally, someone has to take care of it.”

Since the establishment of the country and the implementation of the system of giving food to the higher-up, they had adhered to the attitude of eating and working together. No one took more and no one took less. Thus, the income of each family in the countryside was equal.

This kind of system was quite practical at the beginning, but over time, some people would have crooked ideas. For example, some officials would lie about grain production, only keeping their own rations and then handing over the villagers ‘food. When the higher-ups heard the good news of so much grain, they would praise them.

Those who were praised were the officials, those who did not have to worry about food and clothing were the officials, and all the benefits were given to them. Those who were hungry were the villagers who worked hard.

“The villagers finally have food for the winter.”

This was the village chief’s second exclamation.

Although the village chief had been under pressure to leave food for the villagers for the winter, in order to catch up with the production that other villages gave, he could only leave food that barely manages to feed the villagers.

Jiang Xia saw that the village chief’s eyes were filled with hope and could not bear to pour cold water on him. Even if he left behind food, Jiang Xia was afraid that he would not be able to harvest much grain this year.

Jiang Chuan understood the village chief’s hard work in the past few years. He smiled and agreed, “Yes! There will be food in the village this year.”

In Jiang Chuan’s memory, the village chief would be depressed for a few days every year when he came back from a meeting in another city as if he had been severely reprimanded.

After a while, the village chief finally smiled and said to Jiang Chuan, “It’s all thanks to you that we were able to bring this news back to the village so quickly.”

“Village chief, you’re too polite. We just happened to hear it today. If it were anyone else, they would have heard the news too.”

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment before continuing. “But Chief, I think we should let the leaders know the real situation of each village, right?”

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the village chief understood what he meant. He looked at Jiang Chuan meaningfully and nodded.

Time passed day by day. Jiang Chuan and the others were almost done preparing the things they needed to enter the mountain. Although they had a car and an interspace, they still had to put on a show.

A lot of people started asking around what Jiang Chuan’s family was doing as they got curious. Seeing that there were too many curious villagers, the village chief had no choice but to share what Jiang Chuan was thinking about.

“Jiang Chuan’s family is going into the mountains for us?” A man exclaimed after hearing the village chief’s words.

The other people who heard the what village chief had to say were also in disbelief.

At this time, it was enough for his family to eat their fill, so why bother about other people’s families? Who would have so much kindness?

“For us? What an arrogant tone! Just say that their family can’t afford to live and wants to go up the mountain. They even said it so nicely. If they want to do it for us, they should see if they have the ability!”

The one who spoke was none other than the Old Sun’s wife.

Ever since she was criticized that day, not only did this Old Sun’s wife not reflect on herself, but she also bore a grudge against Jiang Chuan’s family and the village chief.

Normal people would have to show the village chief or officials a good side even if they do not intend to flatter them. However, it seemed like Old Sun’s wife did not care.

The village chief was a good person and did not say much about her. If this were to happen in another village, there is no way she would dare to say these things.

Hearing the woman’s voice, the village chief frowned. His usually gentle expression turned serious at this moment.

Regardless of whether Jiang Chuan would be able to find anything in the mountains, just the fact that he had the spirit to think for the sake of the group and contribute to the group was worthy of everyone’s recognition. However, this woman still had to say something nonsensical.

With Jiang Chuan’s family’s current conditions, they didn’t even need to venture into the mountains.. Why did they do this? Does she not use her brain?
