Chapter 257 Compensation
It is said that if you ask for a high price, you should pay it back on the spot.
The people of Jingou Village would definitely not agree. The two sides were deadlocked. Secretary Song simply took the people back and said harshly in a light tone: "You guys take your time to discuss it. If you still can't reach an agreement by tomorrow afternoon, go to the city to pick up the people, right?"
After saying this, he called on all the people from Lingxia Village who had followed him to go back.
At the door, several men from Jingou Village, with gloomy faces and looking like ferocious monsters, blocked the way and refused to let people pass.
Even though Secretary Song was panicking, he didn't dare to show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Why? When did your Jingou Village become a village of robbers? Could it be that there is still no return?"
In fact, the more remote the village is, the more ferocious they are. Especially when there are conflicts with other villages, they will definitely unite against the outside world.
Chu Hong glanced at her watch and chimed in, "If we don't get home before four o'clock, my husband will go to the city to find the joint defense team."
She still looked arrogant and said, "Why don't you move aside? Do you think your life is too peaceful? Or do you think your hair is too long?"
The people should not fight against the officials, and everyone was worried when they heard this.
Secretary Jin's smile was uglier than crying: "Misunderstanding, I just want to keep you for dinner before leaving. You female comrade, you have a bad temper."
I was thinking: I want them all to eat firewood.
I really want to rush over and beat them until they cry for their parents, and beat them so hard that they dare not ask for ten times the compensation.
Captain Song also laughed: "My niece is famous for her courage. Who else is like her, daring to go to Shencheng alone and asking for five tractors?"
Even though Jinjiagou is a little off the beaten track, even though I didn’t know Chu Hong before.
But Secretary Jin also had to attend the meeting, and he had heard about Chu Hong's heroic deeds.
He was also very annoyed. If no one was caught, even if they were recognized, they would lie with open eyes and deny it even if they were beaten to death.
Now that they have caught the people, they are in the wrong.
If this spreads in the city, he will definitely be criticized by his superiors.
Therefore, he could only say something nice: "Our two villages have always been in harmony. My aunt is from your village. We can't let those Internet cafe guys affect the harmony between our two villages, right?"
"Those little bastards are young and ignorant. They deserve to be beaten and scolded. We are willing to compensate them."
"But this tenfold compensation is indeed too much. Won't it bankrupt us?"
"Please calm down and take a step back, okay?"
This was discussed before coming, and Captain Song would play the bad guy and refuse to give an inch.
Now it was Secretary Song's turn to be the good guy. He also sighed, "Then let's not talk about ten times the compensation, let's just pay eight times the compensation."
Who can blame the fact that there are so many people in Jingou Village? There are at least sixty or seventy households, almost twice the population of Lingxia Village.
They also didn't want to make the relationship too strained, otherwise the other party would instruct others to do bad things every few days, and it would eventually turn into a fight between the two villages.
After some bargaining, they finally agreed on how to make compensation.
Of course, there is no breeding farm in Jingou Village. They raised pigs before, but they all died of swine fever. Then they ate the sick pigs, which resulted in several deaths.
Therefore, there is no plan to set up a breeding farm.
However, not far behind their village were deep mountains and forests, where wild boars often appeared, and wild rabbits and pheasants could often be hunted, all of which could be secretly taken to the black market and sold.
Therefore, the people in Jinjiagou can all be considered to have a backer for their livelihood, and most of them have some wealth. In the end, they agreed to pay a hundred yuan in compensation.
Of course, the chickens and ducks that were stolen by those young people would definitely not forget to take them back.
This time, the people of Lingxia Village returned with a full load. On the way back, even though it was still cold and rainy, the people on the two ox carts were very excited and talked non-stop.
Captain Song was also very satisfied: "Thanks to Chu Hong going with us, otherwise they would not be willing to give so much."
Even though Secretary Song agreed with him in his heart, he was humble and said, "She was just joining in the fun."
Chu Hong laughed and said, "I am just a fox relying on the power of the tiger. Thanks to the captain and my father for taking the lead."
Captain Song was also very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Chu Hong, you said that with so much money, how should we use it?"
Chu Hong didn't want to keep the compensation money, otherwise her elder sister, the accountant, would be worried.
So he smiled and said, "Uncle, how about we give each family two pieces? And use the rest to buy some farm tools?"
After all, it is not popular to deposit money in a bank now, and she has never seen a bank before.
It would be a bit troublesome whether the money belongs to my father, the branch secretary, or Chu Tong, the accountant.
Even if we let Captain Song take charge, we're afraid he might embezzle the money privately, which would then lead to conflicts. It would be better to use it all up, right?
This way everyone can have peace of mind.
Song Xiaojun, the driver, was also very happy to hear this: "That's great, two yuan for free? I can buy more than two kilograms of meat with it."
Then he said enviously, "And now that you have split up, you will get even more."
If I had known this earlier, they would have separated.
Unfortunately, he also knew that his parents would not agree, which was a pity.
The smile on Secretary Song’s face froze. He really wanted to curse. Was he someone who was short of these few dollars?
Captain Song raised his hand and hit Song Xiaojun, who was driving the car, and said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard?"
"It was the branch secretary who took care of this matter. He also redeemed all this money."
"You guys are still acting cute after getting the advantage. Are you asking for a beating?"
Song Xiaojun was still young and had not yet learned to be considerate of everything. He regretted his words right after they came out of his mouth and apologized repeatedly: "Uncle, I was wrong. I really didn't mean that..."
Chu Hong thought: What comes out of your mouth is the truth, and I'm afraid everyone thinks so in their hearts.
In this case, dividing the money is not a good solution.
Her heart moved, and she smiled and said, "How about we not divide the money?"
Captain Song looked at her in surprise when he heard this: "Do you want to keep it? Or do you want to use it in some other way? It won't cost much to buy farm tools."
"Last year, many families in our village wanted to install pressurized wells," Chu Hong suddenly thought of this, "but those pipes and other things are not available for a while, so I thought I could just use this money to install a pressurized well."
"Even if the money is not enough, each family doesn't have to contribute much after the burden is shared."
"Dad, uncle, do you think it's okay?"
Captain Song nodded immediately: "Okay, this is a good thing, right? This way our village's water problem can be solved."
At this moment, he looked at Chu Hong with eyes full of admiration: "You young people are still smart."
Secretary Song also nodded: "That's good. We already have one at home, so we don't need to install more."
"We can install one at the farm to save the trouble of carrying water."
Song Xiaojun had said the wrong thing before and felt very sorry for it. But after hearing what Secretary Song said, he immediately flattered him: "Uncle, you are really the best secretary. You are selfless and always think about us."
