Chapter 640
Father Pan replied, "If you don't know, forget it. But now that Miaomiao and Lao Su have come to us for help, we have to lend a hand."
Mother Pan shook her head and said, "Zhong Ling is really too narrow-minded this time. If there's something wrong with the things he sold, then he should just compensate the other party as soon as possible, suppress the matter, and then dispose of the goods.
I just heard from Miaomiao that not many people were affected, just the vegetable fields. I estimate that even if full compensation is paid, it will be less than a thousand yuan.
I've seen their tax returns at work. They earn at least this much a year, but they're reluctant to spend even this little money!
Now the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it won’t be solved by just paying a small amount of money!”
When Mr. Pan heard what his wife said, he suddenly laughed out loud.
Mother Pan and Father Pan had been close friends for over twenty years, and they knew immediately that he was up to something bad again. They asked:
"What are you laughing at? What bad ideas do you have?"
Father Pan stood by the window, looking at the two figures disappearing into the night, a meaningful smile playing on his lips:
"This old Zhong... huh, he's not on the same page with the county magistrate. The county magistrate even warned him before. He was on the opposite side, playing dumb, but this time he's the one who's exposed."
Mother Pan was tidying up the fruit plate on the coffee table and paused when she heard this.
The crystal fruit bowl reflected tiny rays of light under the lamplight, reflecting on her thoughtful face.
"You mean the secretary... Oh! If you want to do that, you'd better be careful. Don't let the devil get into trouble. A few years ago, my second brother was transferred out of town, and it took him half a year to come back."
"Don't worry, they are the King of Hell, and our family is not a place for little ghosts... just wait and see."
Mother Pan thought of something and suddenly became happy again:
"Hey! What a coincidence! Miaomiao encountered this incident. If she hadn't insisted on defending her rights this time, this matter would not have been discovered.
Look, how smart they are. They do things in an orderly manner. First they collect evidence, then they find the competent department, and finally they come to us for help. They know how to measure things very well.
If you ask me, she's destined to be our child. What a perfect match! If she can go into politics and support our family, then one plus one equals one hundred!"
Father Pan's hearty laughter echoed in the living room, and he patted his wife's hand:
"Hahahaha! I think Miaomiao is our family's lucky star. Every time she appears, she brings opportunities to our family.
Look at my son, he's a completely different person than he was a few years ago. Now I stand up straighter in front of my relatives, and this time...
If you ask me, no matter what she does in the future, she will be able to achieve great things. We just need to help her, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
With only six days left before school started, the father and daughter returned to Nancheng, packed their luggage, and set off on their journey.
Before leaving, I told my fifth uncle that I had asked the Pan family to help follow up and asked them to wait a moment.
Because of the limited time, I can’t enjoy the leisurely sightseeing as before.
Although I still ate and drank as usual, the time I spent on the road became longer every day. I basically had to set off as soon as I opened my eyes. I finally returned to Beijing the day before school started.
Before entering the city, because the road was slippery, a tractor in front of us fell across the middle of the road, and several farmers were moving the fallen goods.
The Su family father and daughter also got out of the car to help, and it took them twenty minutes to clear the road.
The old farmer thanked them repeatedly and insisted on giving them a bag of oranges.
Back in the car, Su Miao peeled an orange, and the sweet fruity fragrance immediately filled the car.
"Miao Miao, how do you think the agricultural supply store will handle this matter?" Su Yuanzheng suddenly asked.
Su Miao pondered for a moment and said, "According to convention, they should first compensate and appease the situation, and then quietly dispose of the fake goods. However, they didn't seize the earliest opportunity, so it will probably take some time now."
After the tenth day, Meng Sui had already taken the train back to Beijing.
Both the store and the courtyard have been tidied up, and the business in the store is booming. Even though the business at the construction site has not yet started, the turnover is not much different.
Su Yuanzheng patted Meng Sui's shoulder with satisfaction and said:
"Ahui! Well done! Now you can completely stand on your own."
"Hehe, this is all thanks to you, Uncle Yuan! You and Miaomiao left the store to me, and I wouldn't be worthy of your trust if I didn't work harder."
"You've worked so hard during this period and haven't been home for the Little New Year and Lantern Festival. I'll give you an extra month's salary as a bonus this month."
"Boss! You guys are so generous! Oh, right! Last night, Uncle Su called me long distance. I told you guys hadn't returned to the capital yet, so he told me to wait and let you know when you got back."
Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng suspected that it might be related to fake fertilizers, so they quickly called back. Sure enough, Second Uncle said cheerfully on the phone:
"The owner of Hongxing Agricultural Supplies Store called and offered compensation. He paid for the urea and the vegetables lost from the fields, plus some hard work money. Ming had to pay 100 yuan."
Su Miao asked, "Besides compensation, did their store receive any punishment?"
Second Uncle said, "I don't know about this either, but when your Seventh Uncle went to sell roasted pigs today, he saw that the shop was still operating normally, so it should be fine. Miaomiao, it's great to be able to get compensation. If it weren't for your help and advice, maybe A Ming would have lost money in vain.
Besides, the boss of Hongxing also said that they didn't intentionally sell fake goods, they were consigned from other manufacturers and they were just careless at the time."
"Huh? Is this the reason their store gave for selling counterfeit goods? What exactly did they say?"
It turned out that just yesterday, the owner of Hongxing Agricultural Supplies Store took the initiative to compensate Amin and gave them a long explanation.
It is said that the store usually sells seeds and pesticides, and rarely sells fertilizers.
This time, the manufacturer who usually supplies the goods sent extra goods during delivery, saying that the order was canceled and they put them in their store for consignment.
They have been cooperating with the manufacturer for many years and agreed when they saw that the amount of urea shipped was not much.
Su Miao frowned slightly, and his fingers unconsciously wrapped around the phone cord:
"Even if it was consignment, it was sold from their store. Shouldn't the fertilizer manufacturer provide a product quality inspection report when selling it?"
The second uncle replied: "They said that they were careless because they had been working with them for a long time and trusted them too much. They also said that they were also deceived, but they were willing to take responsibility and compensate us farmers first, and then hold the manufacturer accountable.
Our original purpose was to get compensation. Now that we have received it, we will stop while we are ahead. As for the dispute between the agricultural supply store and the manufacturer, it has nothing to do with us.
Miaomiao, remember to say thank you to the Pan family. They may have been instrumental in this matter, otherwise the compensation wouldn't have been paid so quickly."
