Chapter 276: They're All Troublemakers!
Chapter 276: They're All Troublemakers!
Lin Yuanbin hurriedly ran to his own plot of land, then he took out the whitening sweet potato seedlings he had brought back from Lin Shan's plot and compared them with the seedlings he had grown himself.
Although the seedlings were still very small, it was quite easy to spot the differences between the two.
Lin Yuanbin carefully compared them, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
He really did find many differences.
First, it was the stems—one was noticeably lighter, the other noticeably darker.
Then there were the leaf patterns on the seedlings.
One had patterns that spread inward, while the other had patterns that spread outward.
These were two Completely different extremes.
He compared each seedling and found that not a single one in his plot matched the whitening Sweet Potatoes from Lin shan's plot.
"Why is this happening?" Lin Yuanbin's face was grim.
They were all the same variety of sweet potatoes, grown from the same vines, so why were the seedlings in his plot different?
He immediately took the seedling in his hand and rushed back to Lin Shan's plot.
Lin Shan saw the panicked Lin Yuanbin and couldn't help but smirk.
He must have realized that the seedlings he had Grown were not the Whitening sweet potatoes, right?
Lin Yuanbin squatted down in Lin Shan's plot and started comparing the whitening sweet potato seedlings one by one.
The more he compared, the grimmer his expression became.
The seedlings of the whitening sweet potatoes were completely different from the ones he had grown.
Not only him, but the others also hurriedly arrived, squatted down, and started comparing.
They too discovered the same issue: the sweet potato seedlings they had grown were completely different from the whitening sweet potatoes.
"Why is this happening? We also used the whitening sweet potato vines to grow them."
"It shouldn't be like this. I directly used the whitening sweet potato tubers to grow them."
"What's going on?" Lin Yuanbin said dejectedly.
Lin Shan couldn't help but mock them: "You still don't understand? This is a question that even someone who hasn't read a book should know. Linyuan Farm dared to give us the whitening sweet potatoes to plant, which means they aren't afraid of us growing the seedlings."
"This is called technology. They spent a lot of money to research this technology. You, who haven't even finished primary school, who gave you the courage to think you could grow these seedlings?"
At this, Lin Yuanbin and the others finally realized the extent of their mistake.
This made them completely panic.
In other words, they were now planting ordinary sweet potatoes in their plots?
Moreover, they couldn't grow the seedlings of the whitening sweet potatoes and had lost the right to plant them?
Originally, they could earn over 250,000 in profit per quarter, but now they were back to square one?
They had already been poor for long enough and didn't want to remain poor any longer.
"What do we do now?" Someone realized the consequences, looking dejected, almost on the verge of tears.
"It's all Lin Sanzhou's fault. If he and his cousin hadn't fooled us, we wouldn't have done such a stupid thing."
"You're right, it's all Lin Sanzhou's fault." Lin Yuanbin immediately nodded, his face even filled with anger, wanting to give Lin Sanzhou a good lesson.
But the other party had already been arrested, so there was no way to teach him a lesson.
Lin Shan, hearing these words, felt that these people were really beyond reason.
They actually wanted to shift the blame onto someone who had already been arrested.
If they hadn't been so greedy, no one could have fooled them.
They had brought this upon themselves, yet they couldn't even realize their own mistakes.
"We can't let this stand. We must get back the right to plant the whitening sweet potatoes." Lin Yuanbin said urgently.
The others immediately agreed: "Right, that's what we should do."
"Let's quickly go find the village secretary."
"Yes, find the secretary and have him help us get back the planting quota."
As they said this, they rushed toward the village office, leaving Lin Shan staring in disbelief.
Where did they get the courage from?
At the village office, the village secretary was also stunned when he heard Lin Yuanbin's story.
He really had seen it all.
It's often said that poor and harsh regions breed troublemakers. In the past, I didn't think this was entirely true, as most rural residents are generally simple and honest.
But now, he truly realized the depth of this saying.
Are people like Lin Yuanbin the kind of troublemakers he had heard about? How did they have the audacity to still think they could reclaim the right to plant the whitening sweet potatoes after their despicable actions?
Do they have no self-awareness at all?
He suddenly regretted ever taking the position of village secretary in this village.
What a damn mess.
But now, all he could do was mock them: "Lin Yuanbin, do you really think I have the authority to do this? This is arranged by the county's agriculture bureau."
"Besides, you've already ruined me once. Do you really think I still have any influence in the county?"
Saying this, he walked into the village office, not even bothering to deal with them.
This left Lin Yuanbin and the others frustrated, and they began to curse openly:
"Damn village secretary, the village committees in other villages know how to lead their people to prosperity, but ours can't even handle a single task."
"That's right, as a secretary, he should have the ability to lead the villagers to wealth. We wouldn't be this poor otherwise."
"Now he won't even help us!"
"..."
The village secretary, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh bitterly to himself.
He had run around the county several times to secure eight slots for planting the whitening sweet potatoes for the village.
Now, in their eyes, he was seen this way.
Truly, some people are destined to be poor.
The saying "those who are pitiable must have something hateful about them" fits these people perfectly.
"We can't let this stand. We must go to the agriculture bureau to demand an explanation." Lin Yuanbin said, and he immediately headed out of the village.
The others followed him, agreeing with his plan.
Soon, they arrived at the agriculture bureau.
Wei Yuan was in his office at the agriculture bureau, dealing with the situation regarding the whitening sweet potatoes.
After the second batch of farmers started planting the whitening sweet potatoes, they had become busier.
The previous major mistake in Xinlin Village had made him more cautious this time, implementing preventive measures.
If another mistake happened, he might as well resign as the bureau chief.
A section chief suddenly walked in: "Chief, the people from Xinlin Village are outside the bureau, demanding the right to plant the whitening sweet potatoes."
"What?" Wei Yuan was speechless upon hearing this.
Of course, he knew it was Lin Yuanbin and his group. Where did they get the nerve?
Because of their actions, he was already seething with anger. He immediately ordered, "Have them removed."
With Wei Yuan's command, the bureau staff didn't hesitate to drive Lin Yuanbin and his group away.
Lin Yuanbin and the others were eagerly hoping that the county would return the planting rights to them, but they never expected to be driven away.
They were unwilling and even considered storming into the bureau to find Wei Yuan, the bureau chief, and kneeling to beg if necessary.
They had to reclaim the planting rights.
In the scuffle, they even pushed two female staff members, causing them to fall and hit their heads.
This made the situation serious.
Soon, the police arrived and handcuffed them.
"Why are you arresting us?"
"We just came to demand an explanation."
As they were being taken away, Lin Yuanbin and the others couldn't believe it. Why were the police arresting them?
So, sometimes, a lack of education can be truly terrifying.
This scene spread throughout Youcheng. When everyone learned what had happened, they were all stunned.
Truly, no one expected such troublemakers to exist.
Linyuan Farm had kindly provided this technology to help these impoverished households plant the whitening sweet potatoes and become prosperous.
Who knew that instead of being grateful, these people would have such ridiculous thoughts?
In the end, not only did they lose the right to plant the whitening sweet potatoes and their chance to get rich, but they also ended up in jail.
However, after this incident spread, it served as a significant warning to all the farmers planting the whitening sweet potatoes.
This is the outcome of having ulterior motives. It's a lesson to be learned.
