Chapter 458 Moral Kidnapping
This is indeed a difficult matter.
Everyone understood what Li Guangtian meant. This contract fee has always been one of the important sources of income for the village.
If you want to get this contract fee now, you can only go through Li Youwei.
Whether it is contracting it out to others or letting Li Youwei continue to be the boss, Li Youwei cannot be avoided.
But now Li Youwei has been arrested and no one can see him.
Even if they meet Li Youwei, in the current situation, both father and son have to go in and operate the sewing machines. Will Li Youwei continue to contract the waters of Longwan Island?
Obviously it is unlikely.
Li Guangtian said: "Based on my understanding of Li Youwei, he will definitely not hand over the contract rights for nothing."
The village clerk, who had been disagreeing with Li Guangtian, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Li Youwei would rather not benefit himself than let others benefit."
His tone was very bad, and he and Li Youwei had a very bad relationship in the village.
Li Guangtian continued, "So, if our village wants to continue receiving this contract fee, we can only help Li Youwei."
Shen Ninglu didn't say anything, but was looking through the contract agreement signed between the village and Li Youwei.
One of the clauses is that Li Youwei can delay paying the contract fee to the village for one year. Only if he fails to pay the contract fee to the village in the second year can the village directly take back the contract rights.
Clerk Li Tong shouted, "What you're saying, do we still have to beg Li Youwei?"
"If we help Ye Qing to forgive him, we will be aiding and abetting the evil!"
"Anyway, I don't agree."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other people, but they all avoided his gaze and said nothing.
Not saying anything was a tacit agreement in this situation, indicating support for Li Guangtian.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Nowadays, money makes the world go round.
Who can resist money?
Li Guangtian saw everyone's attitude and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It doesn't matter whether you, a clerk, agree or not."
"Everyone can vote by raising their hands."
"Raise your hands if you agree to mediate the feud between Ye Qing and Li Youwei."
After saying that, he raised his hand first.
The others looked at each other and raised their hands.
Clerk Li Tong firmly opposed it.
But it's no use.
The minority must obey the majority!
He shouted angrily, "You're going too far."
"A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way."
Li Guangtian said playfully, "Li Tong, you have food and drink, a car and a house, you're not short of money."
"But there are still many people in the village who have no money and can't even afford to eat. They really need this money to improve their lives."
"You can tell them these things and see if they listen."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Ninglu.
Only Shen Ninglu did not express his opinion.
But it doesn't matter, the village committee is not a one-man show for Shen Ninglu.
Although Shen Ninglu accomplished several major things after coming to the village, he was too young, and everyone was more willing to listen to him when dealing with some small matters.
If the old village chief were here and objected, it would be useless even if everyone agreed.
According to the principle of minority obeys majority, this matter can proceed.
Li Guangtian was secretly proud of himself. Judging from the current situation, he would be able to sideline Shen Ninglu sooner or later.
He coughed twice and said, "Village Chief Xiao Shen, since everyone agrees, then you can represent the village and communicate with Ye Qing."
"After all, it was you who called the people who arrested Li Youwei, so it's most appropriate for you to step in."
Li Tongyi slammed the table and said, "Li Guangtian, what do you mean? Do you think that what Village Chief Xiao Shen did was wrong?"
Li Guangtian shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, what matters is whether we can get the money!"
"What do you think, Village Chief Xiao Shen?"
Li Tong was very angry and shouted, "You are forcing Village Chief Xiao Shen to take responsibility!"
As Li Guangtian said, he is just a small clerk. It cannot be said that he has no say, but it is pitifully small.
Everyone's expression was a little strange. Now everyone in the village was discussing who Shen Ninglu was and why Li Guangtian was crazy enough to threaten Shen Ninglu like this.
But what Li Guangtian said was right, getting the contract fee was the most important thing.
Shen Ninglu said: “Of course it is important to get the contract fee for the village.”
"It cannot be based on letting the victim suffer."
"I'll find a way to resolve this matter."
As soon as the words fell.
There was a knock on the door.
The door of the village committee was ajar. Everyone turned around and saw Ye Qing and Kangzi walking in.
Li Guangtian's eyes lit up. It happened that Ye Qing came. He could strike while the iron was hot and force Shen Ninglu to take responsibility for this matter.
In this way, not only can the village get the contract money, but it can also suppress Shen Ninglu through this matter and increase his voice in the village committee.
It would be even better if Li Youwei could be released.
This can be regarded as a life-saving grace, and Li Youwei must thank him very much.
Li Guangtian quickly stood up, pulled Ye Qing over to sit down, and said with a smile: "Ye Qing, sit down, sit down, I just have something to tell you."
"Our village committee just had a collective discussion and unanimously decided to let you go and write a letter of understanding."
"Actually, there's no deep hatred between you and Li Youwei."
"There's no need to get to the point where it's either you die or I live."
"You're right, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Ye Qing looked at Shen Ninglu.
Shen Ninglu shook her head at him.
Ye Qing had an idea in his mind.
Just as he was about to speak, Kangzi stood up and shouted, "What's right?"
"Qingzai can't possibly issue a letter of apology!"
Ye Qing said, "Kangzi, don't argue with him."
Li Guangtian glared at Kangzi, then looked at Ye Qing and said with a pleasant face, "Ye Qing, you are still sensible."
"I'll be fair."
"Although Li Youwei was at fault first, don't tell me you're completely innocent?"
"Why don't you both take a step back and the world will be brighter."
Ye Qing smiled and asked, "Is being sensible just so you can take advantage of me?"
"Right... uh... where did that come from?" Li Guangtian coughed twice and continued, "We're all from the same village. We'll see each other sooner or later."
"People should be more generous."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I am very generous. Not only that, if Li Youwei died in prison, I would definitely ask someone to perform a ritual to 'savior' him."
Li Guangtian couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Young man, don't be so unreasonable."
"You know, suffering a loss is a blessing..."
Ye Qing asked in return: "Do you want this blessing?"
Li Guangtian snorted coldly: "I know that I asked you to forgive Li Youwei because you feel wronged."
"You are still young, and you will grow better if you endure some hardship."
“That’s a good thing.”
Ye Qing shook his head: "You are just talking nonsense."
"A punching bag will only become a spirit, not grow up."
“What’s more, being persuaded by you like this is like being humiliated by a coward.”
Li Guangtian was so angry that his nose was crooked, and his hands were shaking as he pointed at Ye Qing: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm trying to persuade you with good intentions, but you're so ungrateful."
He turned his head and looked at Shen Ninglu: “Village Chief Xiao Shen, since Ye Qing is unwilling to issue a letter of understanding.”
"If Li Youwei goes to jail, he will definitely not take on the contract and will drag his feet on terminating the contract with the village."
"Then what about the contract fee for the Longwan Island waters?"
