Chapter 466

The pumpkin had just been steamed, and she hadn't even had time to eat a single bite.

"Aren't you two tired from standing?"

"If you like standing, then just keep standing."

Wan Ping'an looked at the two people standing in punishment.

"Wan Ping'an, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yi Zhonghai lost his composure first.

"Where did this pumpkin come from?"

"Seeing Shazhu brought it back, didn't he?"

"He brings you tomatoes first, then pumpkins—this is a serious violation of my rules."

"I have explicitly stated that one is only allowed to bring food to family members; family includes parents, brothers, sisters, and children. What are you to Seeing Shazhu?"

Wan Ping'an looked coldly at Yi Zhonghai and Deaf Granny.

"I bought it from Seeing Shazhu's hands, Seeing Shazhu was paid, and Seeing Shazhu bought it from your six acres of land, he also paid—it's a normal transaction!"

Yi Zhonghai defended himself.

Deaf Granny nodded.

"Did you really pay Seeing Shazhu?"

Wan Ping'an laughed.

Yi Zhonghai didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Deaf Granny hadn't reacted either.

"Of course I paid, every single time!"

"Otherwise, where would Seeing Shazhu get the money to buy it?"

Yi Zhonghai was smug.

If Wan Ping'an wouldn't sell to him, he would buy from Seeing Shazhu; what could Wan Ping'an do?

At most, he could fire Seeing Shazhu.

He would love to see that!

If Wan Ping'an fired Seeing Shazhu, Seeing Shazhu would have to return to the Sihe Academy and would be under their control again; this was their ultimate goal!

Clap, clap, clap!

Wan Ping'an finished a piece of pumpkin and applauded loudly.

Yi Zhonghai was confused; what did this mean?

"Yi Zhonghai, do you know your crime?"

"I have no problem selling the crops I grow, but Seeing Shazhu buying from me and then selling to you is profiteering and speculation!"

"Yi Zhonghai, have you lived enough?"

"Deaf Granny, you are also a participant; it looks like you've lived enough too."

"Neither of you is young anymore; it wouldn't be a pity if you died, losing two pests, but it's a pity that Seeing Shazhu, at such a young age, has to be buried with you!"

Wan Ping'an unleashed his big move.

The authorities strictly crack down on profiteering and speculation!

The punishment is extremely severe!

Yi Zhonghai's face turned white instantly.

Deaf Granny's legs went weak, she couldn't stand, and she hurriedly grabbed Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand steady either, and the two fell to the ground together.

"You, you, you can't talk nonsense."

"We bought it from Seeing Shazhu, we aren't going out to sell it at high prices to make money; we are eating it ourselves, how is that profiteering and speculation?"

Deaf Granny was worthy of being an old fox; she reacted faster than Yi Zhonghai.

"Is that so?"

"Who can prove it?"

"Even if you can prove it, you aren't profiteering and speculating!"

"You two, one is the First Elder of the Sihe Academy, the other is a Five-Guarantees household; you incited Seeing Shazhu to violate the rules I set."

"If I make a scene at the subdistrict office and demand an explanation, guess what will happen?"

"Yi Zhonghai, your position as acting First Elder won't be safe, right?"

"Deaf Granny, your Five-Guarantees status won't be safe either, right?"

Wan Ping'an laughed.

Charging Yi Zhonghai and Deaf Granny with profiteering and speculation had a certain level of difficulty!

But they incited Seeing Shazhu to violate the rules set by Wan Ping'an, which was evidence beyond doubt, sufficient to prove their poor character.

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But one is a First Elder, the other a Five-Guarantees household; neither is an ordinary person, so the impact is huge!

Would the subdistrict office let a person of poor character be a managing elder?

Would they let a person of poor character enjoy Five-Guarantees treatment?

"What do you want?"

Deaf Granny realized what was happening.

Wan Ping'an came without going directly to report them to the subdistrict office, which meant it was negotiable, and also meant they would definitely have to bleed heavily.

"Old Granny, you are worthy of being an old fox!"

"Give me five hundred dollars, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

"Alright, neither of you try to bargain with me; I'll give you one night to think about it."

"If I don't get the money tomorrow morning, I'll go to the subdistrict office and report you!"

Wan Ping'an left after saying this.

By the time the two reacted, Wan Ping'an had long since left.

"Five hundred dollars, has he gone crazy?"

"Let alone not having it, even if I did, I wouldn't give it to him."

Yi Zhonghai was furious.

"Sigh, can you afford not to give it?"

"If you lose your status as First Elder, being removed twice, you'll never have another chance to get back up; are you willing to accept that?"

"Besides, do you think he'll only make a scene at the subdistrict office?"

"I guess he'll also make a scene at the steel mill; once the factory verifies that you indeed have poor character, you'll definitely be demoted again."

"Is that a loss you can afford?"

Deaf Granny questioned.

Yi Zhonghai was stumped; he truly couldn't afford the loss.

"And speaking of me, my Five-Guarantees status isn't just about enjoying welfare benefits; it can also be used to help you solidify your position."

"If my Five-Guarantees status is canceled, the biggest victim is you, not me!"

Deaf Granny continued to analyze.

Bang!

Yi Zhonghai slammed his fist on the table.

Wan Ping'an was too ruthless!

Too vicious!

Extorting him by holding his pigtail!

"I'm so old, I don't have many years left to live, I don't care, but what about you?"

"You're only in your early forties; if you really blow this up, don't expect to recover for three to five years. How many three to five years are there in a lifetime?"

Deaf Granny finished speaking and stared at Yi Zhonghai.

"Give him the money!"

Yi Zhonghai squeezed the words out through his teeth.

Give him the money?

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up.

"Old Granny, I've thought of a way." ===== CHAPTER 468 =====
