Usually Winardi does not know anything and also does not care about the affairs of his parents. Surti also understood very well how the habits and traits of all members of the Winarno family were easily deceived.
For many years Surti bought livestock and the harvest of the Winarno family at a price that was many times lower than the market. It's not just him that does it. And it wasn't just the Winardi family that had been deceived by him.
All Surti's actions were supported by the village chief. They blatantly bought all of the residents' crops and livestock at a sloping price and resold them to a large market.
Surti was not worried at all should the foolish Winardi start to put his suspicions on him. The village chief will definitely help convince Winarno and everyone.
However, Surti felt restless when he saw Winardi's eyes. The man in front of him was like someone different from the Winardi he knew. Winardi's cold and intimidating expression was as if he wanted to tear his face apart.
Surti was not wrong at all. Jay really wanted to tear off Surti's skin which he thought was using a mere granny mask. But Jay also knew it couldn't happen.
"Who are you from?" ask Jay.
Jay glared at Surti while waving a cattle price brochure right in Surti's face. Jay's anger is bubbling up because of the impostor grandmother's plain mock attitude in front of him.
"I got it from the market in town, Win."
"Mamak has been selling goats at this price?"
"Yes, Win, why? It's already gone up in price! Mrs Surti has also paid off all the goats she bought today."
Magdalene could not hide the radiant look on her face. Jay is not out of thought with this silliness. Either he had to get angry or laugh at the stupidity of Winardi's parents who just wanted to believe people's words.
"Where's the money now, Mommy?"
"There's inside, Win. Wh why? You want some pocket money?"
"You guys, if you want to talk later. I was also in a hurry to leave. Let me choose for myself ten goats," interrupted Surti.
"No, Ma. Just ignore Winardi. He also usually does not want to interfere with the problem of buying and selling livestock."
Surti breathed a sigh of relief. But not with Jay losing his temper.
"Take the money now, Mom!" Jay raised his voice.
"What's the matter, anyway?"
Jay looked at Magdalene deeply and threatened. This time Magdalene was afraid of her own son. He went into the house and took the wallet and went back to the cage.
"It's five million from Bu Surti for the purchase of ten goats. That's two million of the five previous goats."
Jay was further stunned by Magdalena's confession. Although Jay never bought a goat, but he knew what the price range was.
"This is all we took for the payment of five goats earlier." Jay flicked his wallet.
"The money's a ten payment ..."
Jay cuts off Magdalene's speech with a hand gesture.
"Now you're out of this house and don't ever show your nose in front of my papah and my mama again!" hardik Jay puckered his index finger outwards.
"Win! Don't be so rude!" Magdalena snapped back.
"It's okay. Maybe Winardi thinks I'm tricking you guys" Surti said with a sad face.
Surti's eyes dewy as he began to leave the backyard of Winarno's house. Inevitably he brought out the cribbing technique to make people feel sorry for him.
Enough to act weak while crying. Do not forget to deliberately show clothes patched here and there by pretending to touch it. The way it goes is made heavy. Without footwear anyway.
If Surti does that in front of the citizens of Sukasuka or on the city road, in a day he can get a donation of millions of rupiah. He was very confident that Magdalene would also prevent his departure.
'Just want them to take all my money for granted! I have to report to the village chief to punish the fucking Winardi! Let the people of all villages be expelled!' inner Surti.
Unfortunately, Surti's play did not manage to capture Jay's sympathy. Inwardly, Jay thanked Wijaya for making it difficult for him to trust others. Parents and children, rich or poor. He did not care at all about Surti's merciful appearance.
"Mom Surti" call Magdalena.
Magdalene was ready to follow Surti before Jay took hold of her arm. Jay dragged Magdalene slowly into the house. If before Magdalene would be angry with the brash attitude of Winardi, this time he just mute. The aura that his son possessed was so resolute and indisputable.
Jay and Winardi's parents are sitting in the living room. His gaze lowered towards the shabby wallet in his hand.
"What's up, Mom?" whispered Winarno.
"Listen, Mak, from now on, the business of buying and selling livestock leave it to me."
"Suddenly, Win? But, what about your work in town?" ask Winarno.
"Father and mother don't have to think about my work. I'll buy you a smartphone to call me if there's a buyer. Obviously, from now on don't sell it to that damn grandma" Jay said.
"Win!! Don't overdo it, yeah!" snapped Magdalena.
"Who else usually buys goats?"
From Winarno's story, Jay finally knew why Winardi's parents and the villagers looked so poor. In fact, all houses have their own rice fields and livestock. Apparently all the sales were manipulated by the village leader himself.
***
Currently, every head of the family is in the front yard of Winarno's house. They exchanged questions and astonishment. Winardi who was usually quiet and did not dare to talk to others called them and stood in the middle of everyone confidently.
"Everything's coming?" ask Jay.
"What's this, Win? Are you getting married?" The citizens were stirred by the man's question.
"Please relax!" titah Jay's.
After all the silence, Jay said, "From today on, I will buy all your livestock and crops. Don't buy everything at once, but I'll keep rotating all the resources here."
"We've got a subscription, Win."
"really. There's the village chief and Mrs Surti."
Jay smiled cynically. The village chief and Surti who were hailed by the residents appeared at the right time.
"What are these storms?"
The residents shook hands and greeted respectfully with the village figure. They put each other down and explained what Jay had just said.
"Mom Lena! How did you educate Winardi?! Mrs Surti told me that she did not get the goat that was bought today. And now your son wants to incite citizens, huh?"
Jay listened well to everyone who scolded him. Eventually they stopped talking and demanded Jay's answer.
"Is nobody here ever out of the village? You guys aren't in school? Are you naive or stupid? Selling goats that should be valued at one to two million at half the price. Not to mention, the harvest of fruits that only sold a few thousand sacks." Jay clucked and shook his head.
"One million?" Magdalena was shocked.
"One million more, Mommy. Depends goat. But it is impossible to be valued at five hundred thousand! Ahaha!"
The faces of the village chief and Surti paled. However, the village chief was not willing to give up because he had already bothered to convince the residents not to need to leave the village. He did not want to lose a huge profit in plain sight.
"Don't slander, Win! I'll report you to the police!" threaten the village chief so that Winardi's coward's guts shrivel.
"No need to bother, sir. I've been calling the police since. They're on their way here now. Fortunately, you and the grandmother always ask mom for a note. So, don't worry about the evidence." Jay chuckles.

Jay returned to the city feeling happy. His spirit of building a venture was very fiery. He also wanted to show the system if effort and hard work could defeat misfortune.
With a gift from the mission system, Jay buys a small building that he will use to build a factory. However, in an instant the money in his savings vanished. All for the renovation of the place.
Jay only realized that his efforts were not pure from zero. Because, Jay got capital from Wijaya at first. Plus, Jay who studies abroad has many relationships that can be invited to work together.
Not as of now. Although Jay is trying to contact his business partner, he is now just Winardi and a nobody. None of them glanced at Jay's proposal.
Jay's only hope is Wijaya. And today, Jay will persuade Wijaya to want to disburse funds for the purchase of production machines and others.
Jay tidied up his shirt, patting his shoulder as if dusting off. He turned the door knob of president director JW Corp. At the right time, a woman does the same thing with him.
'Magarina ...'
