Chapter 171 Debt Collection
"Fang Zhiwei, accompany me to Hedong Village."
In the small courtyard, Xiaoyue and Leizi were sitting in front of the TV, engrossed in watching it, and Qin Qing didn't have the heart to disturb them.
As soon as she asked, Fang Zhiwei naturally would not refuse, and took Qin Qing to Hedong Village. However, as soon as they entered the village, they saw a group of people at the intersection holding Qin Changmin tightly and not letting go.
"Qin Changmin, when will we be paid?"
A dozen people blocked Qin Changmin and Sun Yulan. Qin Changmin pulled his sleeves back and yelled back.
"Why are you so anxious? I told you I'll settle it for you once the New Year's Goods Festival is over."
Sun Yulan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
Qin Zhong, still intent on flattering Qin Changmin, chimed in, "They're all a bunch of naive people! Boss Qin said he'd pay us, how could he be lying? Once the New Year's Goods Festival is over and the accounts are settled, the money will naturally be in!"
"What do you mean rich? You're kidding! I went to the county town today, and his business was dead. He didn't sell a single mop!"
An old lady in the crowd yelled, and another peasant woman next to her followed suit.
"You're still trying to cheat us! Qin Qing's stall is right across from his, and her business is booming! Pay us the money right now, or we'll quit!"
"Yes, we are going to find Qin Qing and fight her!"
Everyone roared loudly, and Qin Zhong's heart began to beat fast. He asked Qin Changmin cautiously.
"Boss Qin, is it really as they said?"
Qin Changmin did not answer, but looked at others coldly.
"Who said I can't sell them? I'm just doing retail at the New Year's Market. What I really want to do is wholesale, selling all the mops to Guangzhou! You country farmers, don't pretend to know if you don't know!"
Qin Qing listened to Qin Changmin's words and her mind moved.
Why hadn't she thought of selling mops wholesale to Guangzhou? Once the mop factory was finalized, she would start working on it! It just so happened that Qian Dafa could be a good partner.
“I don’t care whether you wholesale or not, just pay me now!”
Qin Changmin suddenly laughed loudly. "You all put down a deposit with me. I told you long ago that I wouldn't pay you until all the mops were sold. Now you're making trouble with me. Do you want to stop paying me?"
When the deposit was mentioned, the villagers came to their senses. It turned out that they had fallen into Qin Changmin's trap from the very beginning.
"Boss Qin, um...how about I don't want to be paid anymore, and you return my deposit?"
Qin Zhong reacted very quickly and pleaded with Qin Changmin.
He had already figured out that Qin Changmin was unreliable and that it was better for him to follow Qin Qing. As long as he could get his deposit back, he didn't mind losing his wages.
"No! The deposit must be returned and the wages must be paid."
"Qin Changmin, don't try to bully us in our village! If you don't pay me, I'll kick you out of Hedong Village!"
"Yes, kick him out of Hedong Village!"
The crowd was furious and ran towards Qin Changmin with their fists raised. Seeing their vicious looks, Sun Yulan was also scared and had to step forward to comfort them.
"Don't worry, don't worry! We will definitely pay you, and of course we will return the deposit. Our sales are not good right now, but the New Year Goods Festival is still one day away. As soon as the New Year Goods Festival is over, regardless of whether we sold any goods or not, we will pay you!"
Sun Yulan didn't dare to confront these villagers head-on, otherwise if they really went crazy, the consequences would be really difficult to deal with.
Qin Changmin remained silent with a sullen expression. "You want money now? No way!"
He really couldn't come up with the money now. Seeing Qin Changmin's stubborn attitude, Sun Yulan had no choice but to continue persuading him.
"We're all from the same village, so please help us! We'll definitely pay you by tomorrow at the latest!"
Seeing Sun Yulan say this, everyone had no other choice. If they really forced it, there might not be a good result.
"Sun Yulan, you'd better keep your word! Otherwise, your Qin family will forget about staying in Hedong Village!"
Everyone left after saying some harsh words. Qin Zhong also frowned tightly. When he turned around, he saw Qin Qing and Fang Zhiwei standing not far away. He immediately ran up to them with a flattering look on his face.
"Qin Qing! I really didn't recognize a great man before. I promise to draw a clear line between me and Qin Changmin from now on! When you become mops in the future, can you still take us with you?"
Looking at Qin Zhong's hypocritical appearance, Qin Qing felt nauseous.
She didn't respond, so Qin Zhong smiled again and said, "Look, Xiaoyue is taken care of by you now, so we can say we have some connection. As long as you can take me with you, I will immediately bring Xiaoyue and her daughter back and worship them like a deity. What do you think?"
"Not really! I can take care of Xiaoyue, so you don't have to worry about her."
Qin Qing directly rejected Qin Zhong's suggestion. She said she would never use anything for a fence-sitter like him.
"You...would you like to reconsider this? I still..."
Before Qin Zhong finished speaking, Qin Qing looked up and walked away. When passing by Qin Changmin and his wife, Qin Qing suddenly stopped.
"I still say the same thing, it's 1.20 a pair today, but the price will drop tomorrow!"
Qin Qing's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Qin Changmin roared in anger and wanted to slap Qin Qing in the face, but his hand was easily blocked by Fang Zhiwei before it fell into the air.
"Boss Qin, I'm giving you a chance. You should cherish it."
The warning in Fang Zhiwei's eyes was so strong that Qin Changmin's heart skipped a beat. He pulled his hand back with all his strength, spat and cursed.
"Qin Qing, don't think you've really won! Let's wait and see, the best is yet to come."
Qin Changmin turned and left. Sun Yulan glanced at Qin Qing. She really wanted to close the deal with Qin Qing right away and sell all the mops to her. But with Qin Changmin's attitude, cooperation was impossible!
"Boss Qin..."
Qin Zhong wanted to come closer, but Fang Zhiwei stretched out his hand to block him.
"Qin Qing wasn't clear enough. Let me explain: We absolutely don't need you, Qin Zhong! Find another job."
Fang Zhiwei had also heard about what Qin Zhong had done. He was quite disgusted with people like him. It was impossible for him to stay and work for Qin Qing!
Qin Zhong gritted his teeth and swallowed all the words.
This damn woman, even though I gave her face, she still didn't show any mercy. Did she really think he was a spineless person with no temper?
Qin Zhong had a malicious glint in his eyes as he looked at Qin Qing's departing back unwillingly.
Qin Qing arrived at Qin Wanguo's home. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw a group of people making mops in the yard. Ma Fangfang was not idle after she came back. She was leading the women in the village to cut mop cloths under the eaves.
"Qin Qing? Why are you here?"
As soon as she saw Qin Qing, Ma Fangfang immediately put down the work in her hands and walked forward to greet her. Qin Qing looked at the people in the yard. Everyone was working hard. Although they were only wearing thin shirts in the cold weather, they were still sweating.
After all, the Qin family courtyard is too small. If they want to open a factory, they will definitely not be able to meet the qualifications given the conditions here!
