Chapter 279 No More Rent
Chapter 279 Not renting anymore?
"Changping, Changping, the loudspeaker is calling for you."
The banging on the door and the urgent shouting woke Han Changping up from his sleep in a panic, but when he opened his eyes, he saw darkness everywhere.
"Changping, Changping, hurry up, the loudspeaker is still shouting."
Han Changping sat up and was stunned for a while before he woke up from his trance. He hurriedly put on his clothes while shouting to Lang Xiujuan at the door,
"Sister Juan, I heard it. You should go back. It's so cold."
"Oh, hurry up, it seems like something urgent."
Han Changping hurriedly put on his clothes and shoes, grabbed his leather jacket that he had thrown aside, and ran towards the door.
When he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in, which instantly shocked his heart and made him wake up immediately. At this time, his name was being called from the loudspeaker of the brigade headquarters.
Han Changping suddenly felt that he should get a telephone at home, which would definitely be much more convenient.
"Sister Juan, please come in quickly. I'll go take a look."
Seeing Lang Xiujuan still standing there looking at him, Han Changping hurriedly urged her and ran towards the door.
While running, Han Changping looked at the time on his hand as usual. It was 4:38 in the morning. No wonder it was still so dark.
After the winter solstice, the days here become shorter and colder day by day.
Han Changping ran to the brigade headquarters and saw the village chief inside the house through the frosted glass. He felt embarrassed.
"Old village chief, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
The village chief looked at Han Changping unhappily and urged him,
"Hurry up, I've been calling you for a long time. I'm afraid there's something urgent. You're still being polite to me."
When handing the microphone to Han Changping, the old village chief did not forget to say this at the end, which made Han Changping only smile awkwardly at the old village chief.
He hurriedly picked up the phone, but before he could say anything, he heard the urgent voice of his third brother-in-law Xiao Desheng.
"Xiao Si, it's bad. The brigade won't rent the house I rented to me anymore and they even returned my money. What should I do?"
Han Changping was stunned for a moment, but after a moment he quickly asked,
"Do you think the money is too little?"
"No, I heard it was rented by a guy named Hou from the town. He said he also wants to collect grain here. Xiao Si, what do you think we should do?"
Last name Hou?
Han Changping immediately thought of Hou Ping whom he saw through the car window on the way back last night, and immediately understood what was going on.
In his previous life, Hou Baiwan made his fortune by collecting grain. Could it be that he wants to get ahead of me in this life?
"Third brother-in-law, don't panic. Your first priority is to find a way to get the food. Is that still possible?"
"Well, Xiao Si, after you left last night, I walked around the village and booked more than 20 restaurants. They all planned to pick up food today, but now there's nowhere to put it. What should I do?"
"Don't worry about this, brother-in-law. Just take it and put it in the yard of your workshop. I will send several large trucks today.
When the time comes, I will send one to you and one to my elder sister. We can load it into a large truck and bring it back to my warehouse when it is full.
We have a lot of space here, and I built a large warehouse a few days ago. It can hold as much as you want. Just make sure the quality of the food is good. Oh, and we'll pay all the families in cash, understand?"
"Xiao Si, cash? I don't have much cash at home. All the money is in the bank. I'll ask your third sister to go to the bank to withdraw the money."
"Okay, ask the third sister to come quickly and get the money, and then she and I will go back together."
"Oh, okay, okay. The first bus passes by here at 5:30. I'll ask your third sister to get ready and then we'll go to town."
"Wait a minute, brother-in-law, let my sister get off at my place. I'll drive her to town to get the money."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Han Changping noticed that the old village chief had been watching him from the side. When he saw that he had finally finished speaking, he also walked over.
"Changping, are you really going to collect the grain?"
"Yes, it's time to collect. I was thinking of telling you to help me announce it on the loudspeaker. 35 cents of grain is not bad quality. I will buy it all."
"Thirty-five cents?"
The old village chief was also surprised when he heard the price.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll call you as soon as it's daybreak. Don't worry, the old village chief and his men will monitor the quality for you. They won't dare to fool you."
Although Han Changping didn't want to trouble the old village chief, he was really touched that the old village chief could bring up this matter.
"Thank you, thank you, uncle."
Han Changping looked at the old village chief seriously and called him "Uncle" very sincerely.
"You little bastard, huh..."
The old village chief looked at Han Changping with admiration and smiled. Suddenly his expression changed and he asked in a very serious tone,
"Changping, why did I just hear that the Hou guy robbed your warehouse? He wants to take the grain too?"
"Well, my third brother-in-law had already agreed with the brigade and paid the rent. But after Hou Ping left, the brigade refused to rent the house to him and even returned all the money."
"Changping, don't worry. I'm quite familiar with the village chief. If anything goes wrong, I'll call him and ask."
"Old Village Chief, there's no need. If there's no warehouse, we have a large factory truck. It will come here today. You've seen the warehouses in my yard. They're more than enough. This way, we don't have to keep them there. It's easier to manage them if we bring them back."
"Really? Changping?"
The old village chief wanted to help Han Changping very much, but Han Changping knew that familiarity did not mean friendship. Even if they had some friendship, it could not match the strength of the Hou family in Xiangyang Town.
Therefore, Han Changping would not let the old village chief suffer humiliation for his own sake.
"Since you have made the arrangements, fine. But if you really need help, don't be polite to me. If you are polite again, I will be really angry."
"I understand, old village chief."
Just as breakfast was ready and placed on the table, I heard the hurried footsteps of a person running into the yard.
"Xiao Si, Xiao Si."
Hearing the shout, Lang Xiujuan, who was serving rice, hurriedly put down her bowl and ran out. When she opened the door, she saw Han Yueyun walking in with an anxious look on her face.
As soon as he entered the room, he rushed towards Han Changping who was sitting at the table. Snap...
You're welcome, I pulled over a stool and sat down.
"Xiao Si, is that Hou Ping the man of your second brother-in-law's niece?"
"Third sister, don't be angry. You haven't eaten yet, right? Hurry up, wash your hands and eat. After dinner, while there's still time, I'll take you to the bank in town to withdraw money."
"No, this is too infuriating. There's no such thing as bullying. This was already decided.
We've already collected the money. After you left, your third brother-in-law and I spent the entire afternoon cleaning up. We were exhausted as a grandson. And they actually said they wouldn't rent it to us anymore. Isn't that bullying?"
Han Yueyun seems to have a much worse temper now.
"Alright, alright, Third Sister, none of this is going to work. Just get the money and go back to collect more grain. That's the real business. Don't let Hou Ping take away all the grain you're going to collect. That would be troublesome."
“He dares…”
