Shortly after Qin Huairu left.
A middle-aged man in his forties arrived at Qin's father's house.
When Qin Zheng saw his father sitting in the middle of the courtyard, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Uncle, uncle, I wanted to ask, has Sister Huairu returned yet?"
Qin's father glanced at him, tugged at his pipe, and took a puff: "You don't need to come anymore. Huai Ru sent me back. I won't be coming again, and it won't matter who you send."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's smile vanished instantly, and his face darkened: "Uncle, we're practically family, aren't we? I just wanted Sister Huairu to give me some advice. You don't have to be so ruthless."
"Absolutely not?" Qin's father sneered. "I've lived for so many years. Twenty years ago, one yuan a month was enough for me to survive. Now, this amount of money a year isn't enough. How come you don't know how to write the word 'contentment'? I'm your elder, so let me give you some advice: stop trying to take advantage of Huai Ru. Don't look back, or you won't even know how you died."
"You!" Qin Zheng wanted to say something more, but then he seemed to remember something, snorted, turned around and left without lingering.
"Look at you, can't you talk things out properly? If you kick people out like this, they'll hate us to death," Qin's mother complained from the side.
"Heh, we can't be polite to this kind of person. If we are, he won't understand human language." Qin's father sighed as he smoked his cigarette. "Soft approaches won't work. You know how much of a scoundrel he is. To be honest, we're living well enough now. The eldest and second eldest sons have more money than they can spend in their lifetime. Tell me, why don't they know how to be content?"
"Just live your own life. I think this village isn't as lively as it used to be."
“Who would want to come back here? Even the eldest and second eldest brothers wouldn’t want to come back if it weren’t for us here.”
"What a nice house..."
The couple's nagging did not change Qin Zheng's mind.
After stepping outside, his eyes darted around slightly, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and quickly left the place.
Qin Zheng was the grandson of the third uncle. The third uncle's lineage branched out into more than a dozen households. Among these households, the one the third uncle favored the most was undoubtedly Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng's father was the third uncle's son, but he was unlucky and starved to death during a famine, leaving behind this young son.
Qin Zheng was raised by his third uncle since he was a child, and his third uncle has spoiled him over the years.
They treated him like a precious gem, afraid he'd melt in their mouths or break in their hands. Third Uncle wasn't the village chief, but he was a highly respected figure who had stood up for Qin Zheng many times over the years.
As a result, Qin Zheng became the leader of the idlers in the village because he got into trouble and someone else took the blame.
They gained an extra team, but they didn't do any real work; all they did was think about how to make a quick buck. To be fair, they were lucky; they met Wang Shouren.
At first, Qin Zheng disagreed with his third uncle getting involved in this mess.
In the beginning, not every household in Qin Family Village joined the collective cause of Qin Family Village. They were divided into two groups. The first group was when Wang Shouren was building greenhouses and raising chicks. Most people watched coldly, thinking that Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's family could not succeed. A few families who were on good terms got together to do it.
Later, results were achieved.
This led to the introduction of the second batch of people. This second batch was brought in by Qin's father through negotiations. On the one hand, they were all from the same village, and on the other hand, they didn't have enough goods to sell. The shares of the second batch of people would be much, much smaller than those of the first batch.
For families like Qin's father's, that's about two or three percent. Others might get around 0.5 percent at best. Most are around 0.2 percent or 0.1 percent.
Even so, the annual dividends are still quite substantial.
As for Qin Zheng's family, thanks to his third uncle's connections, they received a substantial share of the profits, amounting to one percent of the shares. After all, his third uncle had put in a great deal of effort back then.
Even so, they couldn't resist going out to play all day long.
Everyone outside knows Qin Family Village now, and it's only because this group of people lives there that no one dares to cause trouble. After all, there are precedents to learn from, but they can't stand someone like Qin Zheng who goes out to court death. This gamble has resulted in a huge loss; it's safe to say that even if Third Uncle took his own life savings, it wouldn't be enough to pay it back. However, the old man is unaware of these things.
But Qin Zheng had been forced into a corner.
He then started thinking about the group's affairs.
He figured that with the reputation of "Qin Family Village," he could somehow manage to pay off his debts if he managed to snag a small profit. So he asked his third uncle to talk to him about it.
Uncle San had no idea what he was planning, so he went to Qin Huairu.
It's fair to say that Third Uncle has his methods. He knows that directly letting Qin Huairu arrange work isn't reliable, and she wouldn't do it that way. After all, Qin Huairu was known for her iron-fisted impartiality during her tenure. If you were capable, you got the job; if you weren't, you weren't. No one could change that.
So he found an easy point to start with.
That is, what if our company, after operating for a while, no longer belongs to Qin Family Village?
Qinjiacun has undergone one shareholding change.
At that time, Qin Family Village was short of money due to its diversified development and needed outside investment. Wang Shouren came up with a solution and brought in an investor. This required diluting everyone's shares, which initially caused a great deal of discussion in the village, but Wang Shouren later suppressed it. No one knows who the shareholder Wang Shouren brought in was.
To this day, that shareholder has not shown up.
However, this matter was firmly etched in Third Uncle's mind.
He thought that perhaps he could use this incident to secure a good benefit for his grandson.
He's almost forty years old, and it's hard for him to even find a wife, which makes Uncle San very anxious.
Third Uncle felt that as long as he could find a job and a wife at the company and live a good life, his heart would eventually settle down.
It's quite absurd, really. He's almost forty and still hasn't gotten married. In fact, it's really his fault. He's a street urchin. It's one thing if he's broke, but once he has some money, he spends all his time out having fun, and his reputation has spread throughout the neighborhood.
