   There were four groups of people who secretly burned charcoal, a total of nine families. Because of what happened to Liu Er, Yuan Rong and Yuan Gui, they all came to know one after another that the Yuanye charcoal kiln burned silver wire charcoal, which was different from theirs! Unable to take advantage of the wilderness, they also thought of ways to mobilize relatives and neighbors to help sell the property, but with little success.

 Poor families burn their own charcoal and are reluctant to waste money on buying charcoal. Ordinary families in the town do buy charcoal, but over the years, they only buy it from people they know well. As for wealthy families, inns and restaurants, they would order a large amount of charcoal in previous years. This year, due to the emergence of silver charcoal, charcoal merchants have accumulated a large amount of charcoal that cannot be sold. They are also afraid of losing their hands, so they can only sell it at a reduced price. This has also made charcoal this year extremely cheap. Now it is only two cents a pound on the market, and even more, it is even one cent a pound.

 These nine families were so sorry that their intestines were green. They couldn't sell the good wood for three cents, so they had to toss it and burn it into charcoal. Can charcoal and wood weigh the same? Not to mention the discount, the price is even lower! As the Chinese New Year is approaching, other people’s families are happy and happy after they have earned money to buy wine and meat, but their own family is deserted and bleak. This gap is not that big!

 Their family members were also very angry, and whenever they opened their mouths, they would blame each other. We throw pots and bowls and argue endlessly every day, and no one has the time to celebrate the New Year.

 In the end, the nine families gathered together and approached the village chief.

 Seeing them coming to the door, the village chief didn't look good either. He asked his daughter-in-law to carry his precious grandson into the house, then took out his cigarette bag and slowly rolled up the leaves. Yuan  Li

 , the leader, looked worried and said with a grimace, "Uncle, please think of a way for us! The charcoal we burn has tens of thousands of kilograms. We can't keep it like this forever."

Yuan Hua and Yuan Li looked at each other. Fortunately, their father stopped them, otherwise they would be the same ones scratching their heads with worry at this moment.

 The village chief finally lit up the cigarette, took two puffs and said, "What can I do? I can't buy it for you, right?"

 Yuan Hong hesitated, "There in the wilderness..."

 The village chief glanced at him, "People What Yuanye collects is wood, not charcoal!"

 Yuan Li squatted on the ground, lowered his head, and covered his face with his hands. "We also know that this is not done properly, but the family is too poor to help it!"

 The village chief sneered. He said, "Don't come here! The price of harvesting wood from the wilderness is as high as three cents per pound. Go and ask people from ten miles and eight villages who wouldn't say that he is benevolent and righteous! You are the only ones who are too narrow-minded, and now you regret it? I tell you, it's too late!" "

 ... ...Uncle, we really know we are wrong!”

 “Yeah, uncle, please think of a way for us so that we don’t starve to death...”

 “It’s the Chinese New Year soon, and our family can’t even buy any meat. "The children are crying with greed!"

 "Fourth child, this is because they are ignorant, please help me find a solution!" said an old man who was the same generation as the village chief.
