Boiled Peanuts Not Sold in Vain

Zhang Shoucheng is one of the few people in Baishui Village who knows sales channels, understands goods, and is willing to run errands for the villagers. The village peanuts were underpriced by resellers every year. He helped everyone sort, dry, deliver and negotiate prices, finally selling the last batch of peanuts at a good price. During settlement, he casually asked why the rent of the collective warehouse and the contracted fees of peanut fields had not been recorded. The village accountant Qian Defa had a guilty conscience. He had long embezzled collective funds, which would be exposed once the accounts were checked. To cover up the deficit, he asked Liu Heihu to hide a bag of peanuts in Zhang Shoucheng’s temporary warehouse in advance. As soon as Zhang Shoucheng returned after delivering the goods, Qian Defa led villagers to make trouble on the spot.
