We are all from the countryside and have never come across such a thing as a contract before, so we don’t know what compensation is or isn’t.
"It was clearly written in the previous contract that whoever violated the terms of the contract first would have to pay ten times the amount in compensation."
Lin Yin said succinctly, "Uncle Dahai and Aunt Yanling originally signed a ten-year lease, which means they had to rent those acres of land to us for at least ten years. Now they want to take it back in less than a year. What about the compensation issue..."
Lin Yin did some calculations but didn't specify the exact amount. She just gave a rough estimate: "At least ten thousand yuan must be paid in compensation before this matter can be resolved."
The number "ten thousand" is very big in the minds of rural people.
Sure enough, when they heard this, their expressions changed immediately.
"Why...why do you have to pay so much?"
"We are also acting according to the contract." Lin Yin spread her hands.
"When we signed the contract, we asked you to read it several times. We also said at the time that we would not be responsible if anything went wrong."
"Besides, this land issue isn't something we can just say. We have a boss over there. You signed the contract, and we agreed on the liquidated damages. You've received the rent and the wages. If there's really a problem, you're not in the right."
Li Dahai and Feng Yanling were so frightened that they hurried home to discuss the matter.
After seeing the couple off, An Xin looked at Lin Yin helplessly.
"Girl, what should we do? They are all farmers and don't care about contracts. Li Dahai and his wife are good-tempered and can listen to us. If we encounter those unreasonable people, we won't be able to explain ourselves even if we are right."
Since An Xin started working in the garment factory, she naturally knew the importance of contracts. If she violated the rules even slightly, she might have to pay compensation.
But rural people are different. Sometimes they are unreasonable and think that a contract is just a piece of paper and it doesn’t matter whether they abide by it or not.
Lin Yin had never thought about this before, but now that the incident has come out, she still has to find a solution.
………
Lin Yin was still worried about renting land. As soon as she arrived at school, Li Cuilian called her to the office.
"Teacher Li, what's the matter?"
Lin Yin looked at Li Cui Lian.
Li Cuilian understood when she saw Lin Yin's expression: "It seems you don't know about that yet."
"What's up?"
"What else could it be? It's Guan Jingwen's business." Li Cuilian spread her hands and sighed.
"I really don't know what she's thinking. The principal of the high school came to me yesterday and said Guan Jingwen also wants to skip a grade and join our class."
"Guan Jingwen?" If Li Cuilian hadn't mentioned this name, Lin Yin would have almost forgotten it.
"She skipped a grade?"
"Yes." Li Cuilian nodded: "And he even said he wanted to come to our class."
Lin Yin was confused: "What does she think?"
"I want to ask this question too." Li Cuilian really felt that she was too old and could not keep up with Guan Jingwen's train of thought at all.
Back when they were in the second grade of junior high school, Guan Jingwen had caused so much trouble, both with her and with Lin Yin.
Now she and Lin Yin are in the third year of junior high school, and Guan Jingwen wants to catch up?
"How did you get back to the principal?" Lin Yin asked.
"What else can I say? I disagree." Li Cuilian shook her head. "That girl is so noisy. I don't know what she's thinking."
Anyway, Li Cuilian really doesn’t want to teach such students anymore. It’s too difficult and too tiring.
After leaving the office, Lin Yin went to find Huo Yichen and talked to him about renting the land.
