Chapter 337 Everything is under control
Li Ming felt a sharp pain in his head, then his eyes went dark, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
The village chief was shocked by this sudden change, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He shouted in panic: "Send Li Ming to the infirmary."
Everyone hurriedly carried Li Ming to the infirmary.
Ling Yao was preparing New Year's goods at home, and several sisters-in-law suddenly came to visit.
As soon as they entered the house, they began to vividly recount what happened in Xingfu Village.
"Sister Ling Yao, you don't know that Li Ming was almost beaten to death by that villager."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that guy to be so cruel. But Li Ming deserved it. If he hadn't asked for a lot of money, you wouldn't have to spend 10,000 yuan to buy that piece of land."
"That's right, he deserved it. In my opinion, he should have been beaten a few more times."
Ling Yao smiled and listened to the complaints of several sisters-in-law. When she agreed to pay for the land, she had already expected this to happen.
After all, people are selfish. If her clothing factory is not profitable, those villagers will definitely think that the village's decision is right. After all, they can see the benefits in front of them.
But when they saw the success of the garment factory and knew that the workers in the garment factory were paid very high wages, how could they resist making trouble? After all, it was human greed and selfishness that were at work.
Just after sending off a few sisters-in-law, a guard came to tell Ling Yao that the village chief of Xingfu Village was at the door and wanted to see her.
Ling Yao refused without even thinking about it. She had signed a contract with the other party before, and the contract was legally binding. Even if the other party came to her, she would insist on doing things according to the contract. Otherwise, what's the point of signing a contract?
The village chief stood at the door for a long time. When he saw the guard who went to find Ling Yao come back, he hurried forward and said, "Little comrade! How is it? Is she willing to see me?" He had no choice but to come to Ling Yao. Those villagers are now making trouble in the village committee every day. If the problem is not resolved, he will not be able to celebrate this New Year.
"Sister-in-law said that she will only do things according to the contract. You should go back."
The village chief sighed helplessly when he heard this. He knew it would be like this. It seems that he can only choose the second method.
"Little comrade! Can you help me ask again and tell her that our village is willing to return the money as long as she agrees that the villagers of our village can come to the garment factory to work and let the children of the village go to school in the future." The village chief said. This is the result of his discussion with the people of the village committee.
"Okay, I will ask for you again." The guard nodded and turned to walk inside.
Everyone in their family compound knew that Ling Yao's sister-in-law spent 10,000 yuan to buy the land, and they all felt that Xingfu Village did something unfair. Now that the village chief has taken the initiative to return the money, he must tell his sister-in-law the good news as soon as possible.
Ling Yao heard a knock on the door and went forward to open it.
"Sister-in-law! The village chief of Xingfu Village asked me to tell you that they are willing to return the money you used to buy the land, as long as you agree to let the villagers in their village work in the garment factory and the children go to school."
Ling Yao raised her eyebrows, "You go and reply to him, everything will be done according to the contract." How can you regret it so easily?
The guard hesitated, "Sister-in-law, I think since the other party is willing to return the money, why don't you take the money back first, after all, it is not a small amount." He may not be able to earn 10,000 yuan in his lifetime.
Ling Yao knew that the other party was doing this for her own good, so she smiled and said, "Just reply to the other party as I said."
"Okay, sister-in-law." The guard nodded helplessly, saluted Ling Yao, and turned to leave.
"How is it, young comrade?" The village chief saw the guard coming back and walked up to him quickly.
"Sister-in-law said that everything will be done according to the contract, please go back." The guard said, and then ignored the village chief. After all, it was their own fault that they made such a mess. Who told them to ask for 10,000 yuan in the first place? They don't deserve sympathy.
The village chief shook his head and sighed, then turned around and slowly walked towards the village.
When the people from the village committee saw the village chief coming back, they immediately surrounded him. "How is it? Did the other party agree?"
The village chief shook his head with a frustrated look on his face. "I didn't even meet the other party. The other party only sent someone to reply to me with one sentence, saying that everything should be done according to the contract."
"Then what should we do?"
"I don't want to be rejected like Li Ming."
"Village chief, you should think of a solution." As long as
they thought of Li Ming's end, they felt a little uneasy, fearing that they would be the next one. "What can I do? If you hadn't stood on Li Ming's side, would things have turned out like this? You should find a way to solve it yourself." The village chief rubbed his temples with a headache on his face. He was also overwhelmed by this matter.
"Why don't we grant them another piece of land? I heard that they don't have enough land to build a school, and there's another piece of land next to that piece of land." Someone suggested.
Everyone looked at each other.
"I think it's okay. Anyway, that piece of land can't grow much food."
"I agree."
"What do you think, village chief?" Everyone looked at the village chief.
The village chief pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. "This is the only way now." He hoped that the other party would agree.
Ling Yao heard the guard come to pass on a message that the village chief and several village cadres of Xingfu Village wanted to see her, saying that they had something important to discuss with her.
Hearing this, Ling Yao raised her lips slightly, "I'll be there in a while." If her guess was correct, this time the other party should come with the result she wanted.
She had someone spread the news that there was not enough land to build the school specifically for the land next to the school. If Xingfu Village was willing to give her that land, she could cancel the previous contract and agree to the other party's request. When
the village chief saw the guard coming back, he asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is she willing to see us?"
"Sister-in-law said she'll be here in a while."
The village chief and others heard this, and they all showed happy expressions on their faces. As long as the other party is willing to see them, it means there is still hope.
Half an hour later, Ling Yaoshan arrived late. Seeing the village chief and his men craning their necks to look in her direction, a slight smile crossed their lips.
Seeing Ling Yao, the village chief and his men's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Hello, Director Ling! We came here today to discuss something important with you. I hope you can give us some time." The village chief smiled awkwardly.
Ling Yao raised her eyebrows playfully, "Village Chief, I don't think we have anything to discuss. After all, we have signed a contract in black and white. Everything should be done according to the contract. Otherwise, what's the point of signing a contract? Don't you agree?"
