They Called Me Heartless for Making Three Cents a Kilo. Now They’re Begging Me to Buy Their Grain

Ye Xiaotian made three mao per load of grain he bought, yet the villagers accused him of being a heartless profiteer, cheating them out of their hard-earned money. In a fit of anger, he moved his shop to a neighboring village and stopped buying the villagers' grain. Now every one of those ingrates regretted it, crying and begging him to come back. "Hmph, why are you crying just because I left? Your grain is about to be eaten up by pests. What does that have to do with me? You can't afford your hospital bills. What does that have to do with me? The county grain purchasing station is even more crooked. What does that have to do with me? Do whatever you want. I have no shortage of grain now." "You cry and regret it now, but it's not because I left. It's because without a conscientious businessman like me, all your hard work for the year has gone to waste."
