Chapter 964: Can You Just Help Me?
He couldn't continue at this point. No matter how you look at it, this was their fault. He pulled out an envelope from his pocket and said, "Brother Changsheng, this is what we agreed on before. Three dollars a month. I applied for it based on four months. The extra ten dollars is for Zhuifeng's rations. I'm really sorry."
What he was embarrassed to say was that on the second night after Zhuifeng got lost, the grain station was visited by thieves and several sacks of grain were stolen.
This news was only known to people inside the commune police station and the grain station, and the thief who stole the grain has not been found yet.
Father Xiao looked at the envelope he handed over, not knowing whether to take it.
Chuxue reached out and took it for him. "Zhuifeng is my pet. Since we agreed to borrow it for a fee, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. As for compensation, my Zhuifeng deserves it. I don't know how he survived day by day."
The man heard Chuxue's words and said, "Yes, yes, Nizi is right. It is true that we did not fulfill our original promise. We deserve the compensation."
Seeing that Zhuifeng had recovered a lot after just a few days of not seeing him, he rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Changsheng, Nizi, can I have the nerve to discuss something with you?"
Chuxue glanced at him coldly without saying a word, and prepared to take Zhuifeng back to the yard.
The man saw that he was about to take the dog away and said, "Nizi, wait a minute, I really have something to discuss with you."
Chu Xue turned around and said, "If you still want to borrow Zhui Feng to help you look after the warehouse, then don't tell me. I won't agree to anything you say this time."
Zhuifeng seemed to understand something. He rubbed Chuxue's trouser leg, shouted "Wang Wang Wang" a few times to the people standing outside the door, and raised his head to ask for credit from Chuxue.
It did amuse Chuxue.
At this time, Qiu Shaofeng, who had arranged everything, came out and said, "Dad, if you have anything to say, come in and sit down and talk."
The man at the grain station was already in the wrong, so he waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's just a few words. We have to go back soon, so we won't go in."
Father Xiao was still angry, and after hearing what they said, he didn't say anything about letting anyone in: "The dog is indeed raised by my daughter. The reason I agreed to it last time was because I had just arrived in the city and it was not convenient to bring the dog directly. You were eager to ask for the dog, and you were an acquaintance, so I couldn't refuse. That's why I agreed. But you know how you take care of the dog.
My daughter is here right now, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't make the decision for her. You heard what my second daughter said just now; she disagrees."
The man paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Changsheng, we have no other choice. The dog we raised at the grain station died of an acute illness. We later got another one, but it's too young to help."
He knew that no one would be sympathetic if he said this, so he simply pulled Xiao Ni out of the yard and walked a few steps forward before speaking: "Brother Changsheng, I'm going to tell you the truth. The day after Zhuifeng went missing, grain was lost in the granary. Although it wasn't too much, it was still more than a thousand kilograms.
We suspect that the reason why the dog died of an acute illness was probably related to those people. This is also the result of the police's investigation in recent days. So, please be flexible, Brother Changsheng, and help us talk to your daughter.
Don't worry, Zhuifeng will take care of it personally this time, and I'll give you five dollars a month. When the higher-ups take away most of the grain next month, the little one we're raising will be able to hear the noise. Just consider it a favor, okay?"
