Red Star Village is located in a mountainous area with poor, water-scarce land. It's unsuitable for growing crops, so apple farming has become the sole livelihood for each household.
And the price of apples is a matter of great concern to the farmers.
If the price is good, life can be much better, but if the price drops, the coming year would be spent tightening their belts and enduring hardship.
Li Tiedan had always been on good terms with the Guo Family, so when he heard from Elder Guo that a boss was offering a high price for apples in the village, he was overjoyed. He even planned to sell his apples and buy a few meters of new cloth in the town to make new jackets for the elderly and children at home.
After waiting with bated breath, when the boss finally arrived and stated that the price was not as high as expected, Li Tiedan's disappointment and frustration were imaginable.
