"Why would Aiven give them 30% of the potion profits?"
Peter froze for a moment. He really wanted to say it was because they provided the Orange Fruit.
But in reality, the other party could completely make potions by acquiring Orange Fruit, which would allow Aiven to earn more.
"Aiven is trying to help us," Tessi sighed, slowly speaking the answer in his heart.
Peter froze again, then nodded in silence. He had actually thought the same thing.
So, was Aiven's offer to buy those unripe fruits at a high price this time also to help them?
Indeed, with this income, the impact of the early winter would be minimized, and the fruit farmers would still be able to survive.
"Do a good job with the patrols. This is all we can do to help Aiven right now," Tessi patted his son's shoulder and said in a low voice.
Peter took a deep breath and promised his father, "Don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job patrolling."
Returning to the streets to patrol, Peter's mindset was completely different now. He felt full of strength.
Suddenly, he saw a few fruit farmers from other villages seemingly talking about something. After thinking for a moment, he walked over, intending to listen in.
"Do you think this Aiven guy is really an idiot?" Peter said with a laugh to a villager from his own village.
At this moment, he had already sold his fruits and was showing off the coins in his hand to his fellow villagers.
Hearing his words, the fellow villagers fell silent. In fact, most people present thought the same way.
He bought so many unripe fruits, spent a lot of money, and got nothing in return. Wasn't he an idiot?
Although Daby was the village chief of Orange Fruit Village, for such a large quantity of fruits, his family's entire savings must have been used up, right?
"Heh heh, whether he's an idiot or not, the gold coins I got are real," Peter said after showing off. He shook the gold coins in his hand and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a young man standing in front of him, looking at him with a somewhat angry expression.
Peter froze, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain. Then, he felt his body fly backward.
BOOM!
He hit the ground heavily. Peter dazedly touched his face with his hand and saw a handful of blood.
His companions also reacted at this moment. Seeing Peter, who was covered in blood and had lost a few teeth, they quickly surrounded him to check on him.
"Who are you? Why are you hitting people for no reason!" Peter's companion pointed at Peter, who was standing there with his fists clenched, and accused him angrily.
Seeing this, the other fruit farmers gathered around, pointing and talking about Peter.
"You… you just said… Aiven was… an idiot?" Peter asked, lowering his head, his body trembling uncontrollably, word by word.
Hearing Peter's question, Peter's companions froze. Peter had indeed said that just now.
Now that it was pointed out directly, they felt that Peter shouldn't have said such a thing publicly!
The other villagers remained silent. Although they had thought about it, saying it out loud was another matter entirely.
"Then you shouldn't have hit him either," Peter's companion said, biting the bullet.
After speaking, he looked at Peter, who was standing there. He suddenly noticed that the sturdy young man's body was shaking uncontrollably, as if he were enduring something with all his might.
After a moment, he suddenly roared, "Did you really not think about why Aiven would buy those unripe fruits?"
As he spoke, he walked angrily to a cart, threw the unripe fruits on the ground, and then stomped on them fiercely.
"Do you really think he wants these fruits?"
"He just… wants to help you, do you know that?!"
After saying this, Peter suddenly gasped for breath, as if he had just released all his strength.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became quiet. Everyone's mouths were open, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
"That's right, whether it's helping our Orange Fruit Village or helping you, Aiven has always been the one losing money. Do you really think he's an idiot?"
Just then, a few villagers from Orange Fruit Village ran out. They had been immersed in the joy of the harvest.
But now, thinking about it carefully, wasn't this Aiven sharing his harvest with everyone? What they had received originally belonged to Aiven!
"Aiven is helping you…"
"That's right, if it weren't for him, your next few days would have been difficult!" another villager from Orange Fruit Village accused.
The surrounding fruit farmers trembled. The excitement in their hearts immediately subsided a lot. They all lowered their heads, feeling as if something was gripping their hearts. At this moment, everyone seemed to have woken up.
On the ground, Peter's companion also stood up. They hesitated for a moment and then silently moved away from Peter, who was on the ground.
Peter opened his mouth. He regretted it so much that he wished there was a hole in front of him where he could just jump in.
Looking around, Peter lowered his head and quickly squeezed out of the crowd. He just wanted to get away from here as quickly as possible.
In the following days, the order in Orange Fruit Village returned to normal. However, compared to before, the villagers' expressions clearly showed gratitude.
This winter, it was Aiven who saved them. In the distant future, they would definitely remember this winter.
"Aiven, is this your goal?"
In the farm, Daby, who had received the news, looked at Aiven, who was sorting fruits in front of him, and said.
"This really was just an accident."
After saying that, Aiven added in his heart that he actually just wanted to gain some favorability and use these unripe fruits to make some Fertilizer. He just didn't expect the effect to be so good.
His Rural Cooperative plan would definitely go much smoother next.
