Chapter 169 Zhou Yong doesn't mind using money to buy people's hearts
Zhou Yong also did not want to open a large number of factories around Huaixi Village, because he knew what impact the various chemical products would have on the environment in a few years.
Moreover, the homeland he longs for in his heart is a place that coexists harmoniously with nature, where there is no noisy industrial noise, no chimneys emitting thick smoke, but only fresh air and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
After listening to Zhou Yong's words, Li Baotian said: "If there is no plague, everything will be fine. If there is a plague, calculate how much money the farm will lose?"
Benefits and risks have always coexisted. If you don't want to take risks but want to make money, is there such a good thing in the world?
Even if such a good thing happens, it will not fall on them. No matter what, if Huaixi Village wants to continue to develop, some risks are unavoidable.
Just as Zhou Yong said, isn't there any risk in going up the mountain to pick vegetables, mountain products and hunt?
Everyone knows the dangers, so why go? Because there are benefits involved. If there were no benefits, who would take the risk?
Zhou Yong's words left Li Baotian speechless. Li Hongjun echoed: "Uncle San, Zhou Yong is right. You can't want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat..."
Li Baotian looked at his nephew and scolded him with a smile: "Stinky boy, is your third uncle that kind of person? What kind of metaphor are you using?"
Li Hongjun chuckled, chatted with Li Baotian and Zhou Yong, and then went back.
After he left, Zhou Yong found an excuse to go to Zhang San's house.
"Captain, please come in and sit down."
Zhou Yong shook his head, called Zhang San over, and took out the fifty yuan he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
Zhang San took the money with a happy look on his face. When he learned that the money was lent to him personally by Zhou Yong, his eyes suddenly became red.
"Captain, what should I do?"
Zhou Yong glanced at Zhang San and said, "Work hard in the brick factory, and keep an eye on the others for me..."
Now there is no confidant of Zhou Yong in the brick factory, so while helping Zhang San, he wants him to be his ears and eyes in the factory.
Zhang San was stunned when he heard this. He said honestly, "Captain, isn't this a mean act? If others knew about this, they would definitely scold me to death."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "Why are you shouting? What is mean by mean behavior? If they all work honestly, do you think I would let you keep an eye on them?"
Zhang San fell silent. He knew that some people in the brick factory liked to be lazy and slack off.
But he always does his own job well, and what happens to others is none of his business.
To put it bluntly, Zhang San just doesn't want to offend anyone. After all, everyone goes to work to earn a salary, so it's better to have less trouble than more.
Zhou Yong patted Zhang San on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to, forget it. I will still lend you the money."
He did not use the matter of borrowing money to blackmail Zhang San, but it was entirely up to his choice.
After all, there are dozens of people in the brick factory, and many of them want to curry favor with Zhou Yong. There is no need for him to make things difficult for Zhang San to do something he doesn't like.
Zhang San pursed his lips, his dark face showing gratitude: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task you assigned to me..."
Zhou Yong showed a surprised look: "You clearly meant that you were unwilling before, since I gave you a chance, why did you agree?
Zhang San tightened his grip on the money: "Just because you helped me, I can't let you down..."
Zhou Yong lent him money out of his own pocket, which already touched Zhang San deeply.
Besides, Zhou Yong didn't ask him to do anything like murder or arson, so if he didn't agree, it would be a bit ungrateful.
After hearing what Zhang San said, Zhou Yong smiled and said, "You don't have to pay me back. If you need money in the future, just tell me."
Since Zhang San is willing to serve him, Zhou Yong doesn't mind using money to buy his heart.
"Captain, how can this be possible? How about this, when the work starts next year, you can deduct ten yuan from my salary every month..."
Paying back the money in installments is indeed a solution, but Zhou Yong really didn't intend to take the fifty yuan.
After leaving Zhang San's house, Zhou Yong walked home and met Ma San on the way.
"What have you been doing?"
Ma San was leaning on a cane with one hand and holding a few books in the other.
"Brother Zhou, I'm going to visit your home."
It is now summer vacation and school is about to start. He needs to understand the students' current situation, see if any students will drop out, and see how many new students there will be, so that he can report the situation to the principal.
Zhou Yong turned his head and looked at Ma San, who was very active in education work: "What do you think about what I said last time?"
Ma San paused, tightening his hand on the crutch: "Brother Zhou, I can't come up with such a large sum of money, let's forget about it for now, and talk about it later!"
Zhou Yong went to the provincial hospital for some time and saw a man wearing a prosthesis. He asked where the prosthesis was installed. He hurried to the provincial hospital to consult about installing a prosthesis for Ma San, and the price was between three to five thousand.
The person needs to go to the hospital to have it tailored to his needs. After coming back, Zhou Yong told Ma San about it, and Ma San refused on the spot.
Ma San and Liu Juan worked hard for several years and finally paid off all the money they owed to everyone. Now that his family's life has just started to improve, he doesn't want to put his family in debt again because of him.
Zhou Yong frowned: "The money issue is easy to talk about, everyone will help you."
Ma Santou shook his head like a rattle, because everyone had helped him a lot over the years. He always remembered this kindness and felt embarrassed to let everyone raise money for him.
The most important thing is that Ma San has done some calculations. Even if the prosthesis costs 3,000 yuan, based on his current salary, it would take him nearly 30 years of not eating or drinking to pay it off.
Rather than living in debt, he would rather live on crutches for the rest of his life.
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes slightly: "But have you ever thought about it? Teaching with crutches is inconvenient after all..."
Ma San smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm used to it. And I'm very satisfied with my current life..."
With a stable job, three lovely children and a caring wife, Ma San feels that his life has not been lived in vain.
Seeing this, Zhou Yong stopped trying to persuade Ma San, hoping that things would take their own course.
"Well, if you want a prosthesis, just tell me."
Ma San smiled and nodded, talking to Zhou Yong, and the two of them walked slowly forward.
"The captain and his men haven't been back to the village for a while. I don't know how they are doing now..."
Since Cao Biao and the other two started working at the commune police station, they have been working very hard, so they rarely go home.
Because they cherish this secondment opportunity very much, they all want to become regular staff through hard work.
"You don't have to worry about them. Lao Cao and his friends are now the celebrities of the Red Flag Commune..."
Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang have performed well at the Hongqi police station. Not long after they arrived, they solved two theft cases and just recently solved a murder case. As a result, the three of them became famous and are now valued by their leaders.
Ma San was stunned and stopped walking: "Captain, they solved a murder case? Is that true?"
Zhou Yong nodded: "Of course it's true, how can such a thing be faked?"
In this age of information blockade, some things would have happened a long time ago by the time they reached the villages.
