No one expected Ma Liangcai's accident, and it was much more terrifying than everyone imagined.
Li Li had a quarrel with him and ran home crying. When her parents saw her, they hurriedly asked what was wrong with their daughter.
Li Li also risked her words and said, "That scoundrel Ma Liangcai said he wanted to date me. He coaxed me into kissing him after just a few days of knowing me. I thought we were already dating anyway, so I agreed. But who knew he would turn against us today and deny our relationship? I just now realized that he has maintained ambiguous relationships with several young women. Dad, I was bullied by him."
Feeling insulted, the Li family immediately went to the police station to report the crime.
When Ma Liangcai was arrested, he didn't care and went in obediently. After entering, he confessed without any means. He admitted that he had kissed Li Li, but did not admit that he had ambiguous relationships with other young women and said that he had broken up with them.
However, the police visited the young women and they confessed everything, admitting that they had danced and eaten with Ma Liangcai. The evidence was conclusive.
In this period when feudal ideas were still very serious, a girl's chastity was more important than her life. Ma Liangcai was quickly convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to death on the spot after the investigation was completed. The execution was suspended for three months.
Qin Huai was shocked when he heard the verdict. He only knew that in this era, people who acted like hooligans would suffer the consequences, but he did not expect the sentence to be so severe. The verdict said that Ma Liangcai was careless and did not care about the facts of the crime, and the circumstances were particularly bad.
Although the Ma family was active everywhere, it was useless. Ma Liangcai had angered the public and ruined his reputation, and he could not turn the tables.
His affair almost implicated Manager Yuan, and he asked many people to prove to him that he had nothing to do with the matter, which was how he narrowly escaped.
Manager Yuan didn't dare to hire a driver for a long time and drove himself. He was still frightened when he talked about Ma Liangcai's ending. In order to make people believe him, he brought his parents, wife and children from his hometown to the city, hoping to calm the matter down.
Ma Liangcai was born too early. A few decades later, he would have been a playboy.
Director Mao brought a child to the store that day. Qin Huai said, "I've never seen this child before. Is this your child?"
Director Mao didn't say anything, so the child spoke up: "What do you care about me, you idiot?"
Director Mao raised his hand and slapped him, saying, "How can you talk like that, little thing? This child grew up with his grandmother and has been spoiled."
The child cursed his father, saying, "Cao Nima, why did you hit me?"
Director Mao was furious and said, "You are full of foul language, and I don't know who you learned it from. I must teach you a lesson today." Director Mao spoke without thinking even though he knew that the man learned it from his own mother.
The child said honestly, "With your mother."
Qin Huai hurriedly took a few pieces of White Rabbit and handed them to him, saying, "Little boy, you can't say that. It's rude."
The child said, "What the hell is your business? You look like a bad person with your shifty eyes." This little guy is used to speaking sweet words.
Qin Huai almost raised his hand to hit someone, but Director Mao kept apologizing and said, "Qin Huai, ignore him."
This child is only six or seven years old, but he swears all the time. What will happen to him when he grows up?
Qin Huai didn't dare to pay attention to him. Who would dare to pay attention to him? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Qin Zhonglin helped repair bicycles. When someone came to buy something, Qin Huai would go get it. The child was young and dressed neatly. His appearance was very deceptive and cute. A man who looked like an official was pumping up the bicycle. He probably liked the child and asked him, "How old are you, little boy?"
"Do I know you? Fuck you." It was the familiar formula again.
A man couldn't be angry with a child, so he asked him, "Why are you here alone? Where is your father?"
The child didn't know where he learned it: "Your father died, and he went to your house to burn paper."
The cadre didn't dare to ask another question. He cheered up and pushed his bicycle away.
The child said again: "Why did you leave? Why the hell didn't you ask? Ask again."
Qin Huai was also afraid of the child, but he also felt that the child was a prodigy. When Director Mao came over, he imitated him. Director Mao said, "Don't mention it. My mother taught me. I can't speak without swearing."
Qin Huai said: "The child is still young, teach him slowly."
"Oh, Qin Huai, I came here today to discuss something with you, but I was so mad at that unfortunate kid that I almost forgot. The weather is getting hot, and the supply and marketing cooperative not only sells palm-leaf fans, but also folding fans. People in Qinjiazhuang should be able to make those, right?"
Qin Huai said: "Of course we can make them. Reed mats and folding fans are traditional crafts in Qinjiazhuang. Almost every family can make them."
"Okay then. I need 5,000 folding fans, preferably finished in 12 days. Is that okay?"
"OK."
"We'll sell it for 70 cents, and give you 50 cents to Qinjiazhuang. As usual, I'll go back and get the 1,000 yuan deposit. You should hurry up and make the arrangements."
Qin Huai said, "Okay."
"Then I'll go back and get the money. You can help me look after the child for a while."
"Okay..." This kid is simply a ghost. He scolds anyone who talks to him. Qin Huai doesn't want to be scolded.
However, compared with the famine suffered by the people of Qinjiazhuang, this little scolding was nothing.
After Director Mao drove away, Qin Huai kicked the child's butt and said, "Your father is gone."
The child said, "Uncle, I am thirsty."
Qin Huai asked curiously, "Why don't you curse anymore?"
The child said seriously, "I never curse."
If he hadn't just been scolded by him, he would have almost believed it looking at his serious expression. Old Man Qin said, "This child is very cunning. He saw that Yizhuang was gone. You see, when his father comes back, he will definitely change back."
Sure enough, when Director Mao came back, the child, still eating Qin Huai's candy, immediately complained to his father, "That son of a bitch kicked me, beat him up for me."
Director Mao slapped him across the face. The child didn't cry, but cursed, "You're a useless bastard."
Director Mao was extremely embarrassed. Qin Huai said, "It's okay. This child is so cute. I like him very much."
The child squinted his eyes and tried to open his mouth, but Director Mao covered his mouth tightly and carried him away, like a beggar stealing children.
Old Man Qin said, "Qin Huai, Director Mao is thanking you for helping him last time, right? But how can you sell these old folding fans?"
This was indeed a big favor. Director Mao had asked countless people but none of them dared to help him. It was Qin Huai who helped him connect with Director Sun of the Materials Bureau and was able to suppress the negative impact. Director Mao was very grateful and had been looking for an opportunity to thank Qin Huai.
He knew that Qin Huai had always wanted to make life easier for Qinjiazhuang, which was why he had gone to great lengths to bring in the folding fan business today.
In fact, this kind of handicraft can be done in many places in the county.
Qin Huai said, "Director Mao is the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative. He has many township supply and marketing cooperatives under him. They are the ones who provide the goods. The amount is distributed to each of them individually, so it's not a lot."
Old Man Qin said, "Director Mao is very thoughtful."
As the two were talking, a man came to the repair shop. Qin Huai stood up awkwardly when he saw him, not knowing how to start.
