Mantun was naturally happy. Originally, with his conditions, if a woman like Chunxiang had not fallen into trouble, he would never have had the chance to pick her up in this life.
At that time, she gave Zhao Wei 30 yuan as a betrothal gift and wrote him an IOU for 20 yuan.
Zhao Wei naturally took it in without hesitation, and then asked Erlaizi and others to help escort Chunxiang all the way back to Kaoshanao.
The journey is quite far, and it takes three hours round trip.
Several of them didn't have time to eat, but they didn't complain or feel tired because they were helping their master.
Moreover, they were happy to help others and solve Chunxiang's big problem, which was considered a good thing.
That night, a pot of hotpot was prepared in Zhao Wei's yard as usual. Everyone gathered together and had a great time eating.
But no one in the village dared to come here following the smell anymore. The fate of those scoundrels before was a lesson for them.
No matter how jealous and greedy you are, you can only curse behind closed doors.
The one who cursed the most harshly was probably the old village chief.
"Fuck these bastards! They really made their family feel so powerful. Ugh!"
"In previous years, our chickens always ate better food than theirs, haha..."
His son Wang Jianjun slammed the table fiercely and said, "Dad, Zhao Wei made me look bad and embarrassed. I can't swallow this anger if I don't teach him a lesson."
"You can't let them go! I want them to have no place to stand in this village. If necessary, it would be best to kill them!"
When he said this, he gritted his teeth. It was obvious that the humiliation of eating shit had twisted his character to the point that he even dared to say something like killing someone.
The old village chief was frightened and accidentally choked while smoking his pipe. After coughing violently for a long time, he said soothingly: "Do you think I didn't want to cause trouble for that kid?"
"Heh... that kid has become cunning now. When he was collecting the fees last night, he didn't even get any advantage over them. It's really infuriating!"
"But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of tricks with your father. When they fall into my hands, they will cry. Hehe..."
Wang Jianjun laughed with satisfaction. The faces of the father and son were indescribably evil and vulgar...
The next morning, when the village accountant came to collect the movie fees, the old village chief couldn't smile no matter what.
He paid out all the fees he had collected, but when the accountant counted them, they didn't add up.
Yushutun was quite large, with ten production teams, each with about 50 households, and a total of several hundred households, so the amount should be 98.8 yuan.
The old village chief handed over some dimes and coins, which looked heavy and amounted to quite a lot, but when counted, he was short of 23.4 yuan.
With just a casual move, Zhao Wei had already injured the village chief's aorta, causing him to turn pale and spin around in panic.
"How could it be gone? I kept all the money in my pocket, and it wasn't leaking. How could so much money be gone?"
Even if he was the village chief, it would be difficult for him to come up with more than 20 yuan at once.
Nowadays, no one has any money, and he has no real power. He is controlled by people from the commune and production team, and there is no profit to be made.
So, when he found out that the accounts didn't match, he was so anxious that he saw stars. The first person he thought of was his good-for-nothing son.
He took off his shoes and threw them at his son who was still sleeping in.
"You son of a bitch, tell me, did you do this? Did you give my money to your lover? Come back to me immediately, do you want to kill me, your father?"
He was roaring there, and Wang Jianjun was beaten and fled here and there. It took him a long time to realize what was happening.
"Dad, I swear on our Wang family's ancestors that I really didn't take a penny from you. I stayed at home these two days and didn't go anywhere!"
He is too embarrassed to see people, so how can he go out and be criticized by others?
He couldn't listen to any of that gossip.
Although no one in the village talked about him eating shit in front of him because of the village chief's face, but the meaningful eyes and the mocking expressions... all silently conveyed certain ideas to him.
His, Wang Jianjun's status in Yushutun has long been equated with that of a dog.
The old village chief then realized that he had blamed the wrong person.
I reflected on the places I had visited that day. It was quite diverse. I almost went through the entire village.
This money could have been lost in anyone's home.
Thinking of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He covered his chest with his hands, feeling as if he was dying from the pain.
But the accountant was still waiting under the eaves, asking him to quickly check the accounts, otherwise he would not be able to get to the county film company in time to find someone to arrange a projectionist in time.
The New Year's Eve was imminent and there was no time to delay. Otherwise, those in the village who had paid the money would tear his house apart.
In a short period of time, the old village chief felt what despair and helplessness were.
Finally, Wang Jianjun was sent away, and asked to take the food and go door to door to ask people to collect 20 yuan, and then he would make up the remaining 3.40 yuan.
After this incident, the whole family fell into famine.
Why would I want to eat solid rice in the future? I would have to tighten my belt to barely have enough to eat even liquid food.
We couldn’t even eat meat during the Chinese New Year, so you can’t imagine how hard life was.
And all this is just the beginning. They have no intention of letting Zhao Wei go or making things difficult for him.
