Chapter 256 Another Year 4
After Chu Hong finished speaking, she remembered that she didn't know the loss yet, so she asked hurriedly, "By the way, Dad, how much did our farm lose?"
"Ten times the compensation?" Party Secretary Song couldn't help but laugh and shook his head: "You have a big appetite, you are ruthless enough, I support you."
"I don't know yet. Xiao Gu is counting the chickens and ducks at the farm. How about we go and take a look?"
At first they said they raised 200 mallards and 100 chicks, but they also gave some extra chickens and ducklings.
It is to prevent damage during the breeding process.
Before Chu Hong could say anything, Gu Ci came in holding an umbrella and said, "Dad, I've already counted everything. There are two roosters, three hens, and two ducks missing."
He couldn't hide his distress: "And those chickens and ducks, if they are scared by someone, I'm worried that they will stop laying eggs. Can't we handle them with care?"
The breeding farm was indeed run by Gu Ci himself, who put in a lot of effort. Now that something has happened, he must be feeling upset.
Secretary Song winked at him and said, "Ask your wife. She said she wanted them to pay ten times the compensation. Are you satisfied with this result?"
Gu Ci couldn't help but smile when he looked at Chu Hong: "I am very satisfied. Your words touched my heart."
He felt very happy, thinking that this was a case of husband and wife following each other's lead, or that she understood his thoughts.
Chu Hong asked him, "Who was on guard at the farm yesterday? Was anyone scared?"
"Don't worry." Gu Ci understood her worries, looked outside, and after making sure that no one was around, he subconsciously moved closer to the father and daughter and whispered, "It was Lao Jin and Jiang Mingche who were on guard, so Lao Jin didn't chase them out. He will be fine."
"But to the public, we just said that Lao Jin chased out in the rain and fell down on the slippery road."
"I was frightened and caught a cold, so I got sick."
He also deliberately sounded serious so that the villagers would not think that the work in the breeding farm was easy. He also wanted to leave a good impression of dedication and hard work on the villagers and Lao Jin and others.
Secretary Song just glanced at him and did not object.
Chu Hong also nodded: "You are very thoughtful."
He couldn't help but say, "The farm asked them to take turns to guard at night. If someone really had any intentions, they would be in danger."
"In the past few months, I've seen that Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche are pretty good people. Why don't we just let them move to the farm?"
When Gu Ci heard Chu Hong's words, he understood that she was worried about the safety of his grandfather and the others. This was definitely because she loved the whole family.
He raised his sword-like eyebrows and looked at Chu Hong with shining eyes, and his thin lips curled up slightly: "You are still thoughtful. Jiang Mingche used to be a police officer. With them watching over us, we can be much more assured."
Secretary Song glanced at his son-in-law and said, "Besides saying 'You've thought it through', can't you say anything else?"
This brat is really an eyesore sometimes.
Ever since he appeared, his wife often praises him and no longer thinks that he is the man who loves his wife the most.
Gu Ci said in a good-tempered manner: "But I think Chu Hong is really thoughtful, right? This is all thanks to your good guidance, parents."
Secretary Song just wanted to snort. Why did he think that Gu Ci was introverted and taciturn before?
Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but praise Chu Hong, and even praised them, so that even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't express it.
Secretary Song frowned and said, "I don't know if Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche are willing to move in."
Then he looked at Gu Ci and said, "Go and ask them. If they don't want to, don't force them."
"Okay, don't worry, Dad." Gu Ci felt that they would definitely agree: "I will ask for their opinions later."
In Jingou Village, more than ten miles away, the village committee office, the branch secretary, the team leader and more than a dozen other people were also in a gloomy mood.
Among those who had gone there were the captain’s youngest son and the branch secretary’s nephew.
In the past, they had a good relationship with Jin Baoliang. When they heard Jin Baoliang talking about the breeding farms in Lingxia Village, they said that they were all guarded by old men.
Even during the Chinese New Year, we couldn't enjoy eating chicken and duck.
They are all young people who are favored at home. They are usually not very content and think they are very powerful people. If you talk too much, they will have bad thoughts.
I thought about it very carefully and thought it would be foolproof, but I didn't expect it to be discovered in the end.
The person arrested was Captain Jin’s youngest son, Jin Junjie.
When it was daybreak, the captain's wife found that her youngest son was not at home. She thought that he had gone out to play cards and did not come back all night. She was afraid that her husband would be angry if he knew, so she quietly went from house to house looking for him.
Who would have thought that I would see these disobedient kids in the village coming back from outside the village in disgrace, as if they had rolled in the mud.
She immediately realized something was wrong, and after asking, she found out that her son had not returned.
Now everyone is wondering, what to do?
Captain Jin's youngest son, Jin Junjie, has been caught. The best thing to do is to prepare something to apologize, so as to prevent his son from being beaten to death.
It’s best to collect twenty dollars and send it over, so as to avoid making a big fuss and being laughed at if the news gets out.
Everyone thought that the incident was instigated by Jin Baoliang, and everyone thought that Jin Baoliang should bear the lion's share of the blame.
But Jin Baoliang's father, Jin Dashan, was not happy: "My Baoliang didn't go either? Besides, our family doesn't have that much money."
Previously, Jin Baoliang wanted to make the matter a fait accompli with Chu Dan, but unfortunately he ended up losing more than he gained. In the end, he was falsely accused of stealing 100 yuan from Secretary Song's house.
They were only able to pay twenty dollars and some tickets, and the matter was over.
Now you want them to pay another ten dollars. They will definitely not be happy about it because it was not their son who asked them to go.
Most importantly, their son didn’t go either.
But if I don't pay a penny, I will offend these people, as well as the branch secretary and team leader.
Therefore, Jin Dashan added: "You all know that my Baoliang offended someone before, and the medical treatment and compensation almost emptied our family's savings. We can only get together two dollars."
Some people thought the gift was too generous: "The children are ignorant. We should just send the chickens and ducks back and give them some cookies and candies, right?"
"Yes, I think it would be nice to send some chicken and duck eggs."
There are only nine people in total. Even if Jin Dashan is included, if we want to collect 20 yuan, each family will have to contribute 2 yuan.
Apart from the captain’s family whose son was detained, who else would be reluctant to let him go?
Someone also suggested that the women who had married from Lingxia Village should go back and find out the news first.
It would be best if you could help to plead for them and make a big thing small.
They couldn't reach an agreement on the matter, but unexpectedly, at around 1:00 p.m., the secretary of the Lingxia Village Party Committee and the team leader came with their men, driving two ox carts.
When the parents of the children heard that Lingxia Village proposed ten times the compensation, they were unwilling to agree.
What a joke! If they really agree to this, that would mean twenty roosters, thirty hens, and twenty ducks. Wouldn't that bankrupt them?
