Chapter 68 Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun shake hands and make peace
Zhou Yong's mouth was filled with sarcasm: "Dad, have you ever thought about why they respect me and tolerate me? It's because they used the money I earned from selling my body to marry and have children. How can they feel at ease? And what about me? I have to live my whole life with people stabbing me in the back. Who understands the pain I've suffered?"
Li Baotian froze where he was, staring at his son-in-law in a daze, unable to utter a word.
Zhou Yong lowered his eyes to hide the hatred in his eyes: "Dad, don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. I am generous enough not to embarrass them!"
Li Baotian took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again: "Zhou Yong, Dad knows you are suffering, and I also know that you married Caiyun out of spite. Now that things are done, can't you let go of the past?"
Let go?
He also wants to let it go, but the problem is that he can't.
All the pain and torture he suffered came from his biological mother.
Whenever Zhou Yong thought of these things, his heart bleeds.
"Dad, I can't do this."
Li Baotian pursed his lips and said, "Well, let's just pretend that Dad didn't tell me about Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang."
The brigade was in need of manpower at that time, so Cui Shufen approached Li Baotian, hoping that the two brothers Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang could join the brigade and get a job.
Now that the two brothers have wages and food subsidies, the Zhou family's living burden can be reduced a little, and they don't have to borrow money from relatives and friends all the time to get by.
Cui Shufen had a good idea, but Li Baotian knew that it would be difficult to accomplish.
Although he is the village chief and has the power to arrange people to work in the brigade, don't forget that he is Zhou Yong's father-in-law.
What can he do in this situation?
We can only try our best to save the situation.
Li Baotian thought about it again and again and brought up the matter with Zhou Yong with the mentality of giving it a try, and the result was as he expected.
He thought: I wonder if Zhou Yong can let go of the past when he becomes a father...
Zhou Yong looked at Li Baotian who was leaving. He sat on the stool and smiled softly.
People are so ridiculous. When they advise others to be magnanimous, have they ever thought about whether they can still be magnanimous when the same thing happens to them?
Zhou Yong rubbed his face, then stood up and went out to get some fresh air.
The brigade yard was very lively and everyone was busy. Zhou Yong put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked up at the sky.
Li Hongjun followed his gaze and asked, "Zhou Yong, what are you looking at?"
Zhou Yong slowly retracted his gaze: "Brother, I'm looking at the birds in the sky."
What's so good about birds?
Or does he want to eat birds?
"You want to eat bird?"
Zhou Yong's mouth twitched, and his sad mood was swept away by Li Hongjun's words.
"Brother, are you allergic to romance?"
Li Hongjun scratched his head: "What do you mean by allergic to romance?"
Zhou Yong glanced at his brother-in-law and turned back into the house: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Li Hongjun followed him in: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Come to my house for dinner tonight."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "What day are you inviting me to dinner? Did you put rat poison in the food?"
Li Hongjun curled his lips: "How dare you say that. I was wrong about what happened before, I want to apologize to you..."
After Li Hongjun left Li Baotian's house that evening, he felt more and more upset the more he thought about it.
The next day, Li Hongjun found Zhou Yong and apologized without saying a word.
After Zhou Yong learned what had happened, he shook hands with him and made peace.
In fact, Li Hongjun is a very nice person. He is loyal and always treats his relatives and friends with all his heart.
Besides, Zhou Yong was also wrong about what happened before. As a man, there are some things that cannot be fussy about. Besides, the dispute between them was just a verbal dispute and there was no deep hatred between them.
Apologize?
Zhou Yong looked at Li Hongjun with amusement, which made him feel embarrassed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Are you afraid to watch?"
Li Hongjun scratched his head and looked at Zhou Yong: "What is there for a grown man like me to see? We have already arranged the dinner. I am going to get busy now."
Zhou Yong smiled and agreed to Li Hongjun's arrangement.
After Li Hongjun left, Zhou Yong was not in the mood to work and was in a daze. He called a few people in and vacated the room for the acquisition team.
From now on, Zhou Yong will work in the same room with Accountant Li Baotian and Sun. The director of women's affairs will have a separate office, and team leader Li Ming and the warehouse manager will work in another room.
When there are more people, work happens faster, and the work will be done in no time.
The others went about their own business, while Li Baotian, Accountant Sun and Zhou Yong held a small meeting.
The village is currently implementing the personnel acquisition team issue step by step. After this matter is arranged, the next step is to put the matter of moving the mountain on the agenda.
Zhou Yong said, "Moving mountains can be put on hold. We still have many things to do."
Li Baotian looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else that hasn't been arranged yet?"
The purchasing team is being formed and an office has been found. Once the staff is in place, they can start purchasing mountain products and game from the villagers.
Zhou Yong glanced at his father-in-law and thought: How can things be that simple?
"Have you noticed that many people go up the mountain together early in the morning?"
Li Baotian nodded, and Accountant Sun said, "Is there anything abnormal about this?"
You can go up the mountain to pick products and sell them for money, so who can stay at home?
Zhou Yong didn't keep the secret any longer and expressed his thoughts and concerns.
There is nothing wrong with picking mountain products, but the problem is that there are too many people going there.
Although Huaixi Village is surrounded by mountains, don't forget that the area for picking mountain products is limited.
Since they can’t collect mountain products from outside, the villagers will go deep into the mountains. What should they do if they encounter large wild beasts? What if there are casualties?
The team needs to come up with a plan for all these things, and cannot just let the villagers go wherever they want to pick mountain products.
Zhou Yong's words left Li Baotian and Accountant Sun silent. They really didn't think about it in this way.
It’s not that they didn’t consider things comprehensively, but mainly because the villagers all knew that it was dangerous in the mountains and no one would take the risk easily.
But the situation is different now. Mountain products and game can be sold for money, and many people think it is worth it even if there are risks.
Especially those families who are waiting to use money to marry a wife, and those families whose lives are particularly difficult, if they don’t come up with a foolproof plan, the village will be in chaos sooner or later.
Li Baotian frowned, Accountant Sun squinted his eyes, held the pipe in his right hand and took a puff of smoke.
Zhou Yong looked at them, picked up the enamel teacup in front of him and drank some water.
“Now that you’ve thought about these problems, do you have a solution?”
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Baotian who said this and pursed his lips.
Accountant Sun said, "Just tell me if you have a plan? Do you want to see us two old men laugh at you?"
Zhou Yong: “…?”
He didn't mean that, okay?
After all, Li Baotian is the village chief, and he has a highly respected accountant, Sun, so it is not easy for him to always show off.
Zhou Yong scratched his head. Accountant Sun said anxiously, "Why are you keeping us in suspense? If you have something to say, just let it out."
"To eliminate these problems, we need to send people to guard the entrances to the mountains all year round and limit the number of people going up the mountain from each household every day. Secondly, the public security team needs to go into the mountains to clear out large beasts..."
If the safety hazards are not resolved and something goes wrong, the brigade cadres will be held responsible.
"The plan is good, but we have to add more staff. Who will pay their salaries? The brigade has no money in its account. We can't ask the villagers to pay again, right?"
