Chapter 271 272: The Xiong Family’s Plan
"Oh my~" Zhang Xiuxiang sneered, "After all this time, your Xiong family is still the good fortune boy? You clearly know that your family is raising a precious cow, but you still force it on my family and make me rich!"
No one will think you are dumb if you can't speak!
Zhou Sufang glanced at Xiong's wife, then looked at Yang Chunyan's sisters-in-law, "Yang Chunyan, Old Xiong said that your father-in-law took the money that day and said nothing. It was you who stopped him and asked him to write a receipt. Do you dare to say that you didn't ask him to write a receipt because you saw that there was bezoar in the cow's stomach?"
"Your family received such a large sum of money from my family, shouldn't you write a receipt?" Yang Chunyan stepped forward and looked at her, "I told your Boss Xiong about this last time, and I'm saying it again now, don't say that my family has never seen bezoar. Even if we have, it has nothing to do with your Xiong family!"
Looking at her righteous look, Zhou Sufang and her mother-in-law blinked their eyes, unable to find words to refute!
Zhao Huifang looked at them with dissatisfaction, "That's right, the youngest one chased your cow to death, and I, an old man, swallowed my anger and spent 450 yuan to buy a sick cow. What else do you want?"
"Sister-in-law, you figured it out so quickly!" Li Qiuyue looked at the Xiong family members with a sneer on her face. "They were originally happy because they got four hundred and fifty yuan from a sick cow that was about to die. But they heard that there was bezoar in the cow's stomach! It would be strange if they didn't feel like they were being scratched by a cat!"
Zhou Sufang looked at the sharp-tongued Li Qiuyue and cursed her angrily, "Oh my God, whoever took my bezoar will die a horrible death!"
Li Qiuyue slapped the hand that was pointing at her away and said, "God has seen this. Those who sell sick cows as healthy cows and still talk nonsense with red mouths will not have a good death!"
"How dare you hit my mother!" Mrs. Xiong scratched at him, but Yang Chunyan grabbed her wrist and pushed her out.
"Give me back your bezoar! You are shameless, even ghosts are afraid of you!" Yang Chunyan sneered, "Xiong, you better understand, my family spent 450 yuan to buy the cow, even if there is a pile of cow shit in the cow's stomach, it belongs to my family."
After Xiong Da's wife stood firm, she rushed towards Yang Chunyan, who kicked her on the knee, causing her to sit on the ground.
Zhao Huifang and the others stepped forward and stood beside her, "Come on! The Zhou family is not afraid of you!"
"What do you want to do?" Xiong Dahai and his sons rushed over carrying hoes.
"What are you doing? Ask your woman!" Yang Chunyan looked at them without showing any weakness. "You have stopped us on the road time and again, saying that my family has found bezoar. Who saw it? Call the person out, and we will go to the brigade and explain it to you face to face."
Xiong Dahai looked at her gloomily, "Isn't it because of this that you are so stubborn?" If someone had seen it with their own eyes, I would have come to your house to ask for money.
Zhang Xiuxiang and the other two took out the medicine hoe from their backpacks and stared at them, "Uncle Xiong, what are we relying on? Explain yourself clearly!"
Xiong Dahai looked at the aggressive women, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Zhou Sufang and her husband, and said, "Let's go!"
Zhou Sufang glanced at Yang Chunyan and her sisters-in-law, then followed him away in disappointment.
Yang Chunyan and her sisters-in-law watched them leave and also walked towards the mountain.
Boss Xiong looked back at Yang Chunyan's sister-in-law and whispered, "Old man, let's go home and see the third brother. He should be back by now."
Xiong Dahai nodded, "It would be good to go back and take a look!"
Xiong Laoer stepped forward and walked to his side. "Old man, if we find out that the Zhou family has sold bezoars, what should we do?"
"What should we do? The Zhou family should not think of giving us less than what we deserve!"
"We sold our cattle to them!"
"So what if he sold it? Go ask him, which family would sell bezoar for 450 yuan?"
Ten minutes later, the family arrived at a yard on the upper level of Li Hongbing's house. They pushed open the half-open door and saw the youngest Xiong sitting on the steps eating.
"Jianbin, how's the investigation going?"
Xiong Jianbin, who was wearing a washed-out army green shirt, shook his head and said, "I asked my comrades for help, but I haven't heard of any pharmacy accepting bezoar."
Xiong Dahai remembered what Cai Ermei said, "Have you asked Deshengtang?"
"I asked! I asked my comrades to make up a story and asked, but they said they had never received it."
"Alas! The Zhou family sent their herbs to his house to sell. Doctor Wang of Deshengtang is the master of old man Yang Chunyan. Even if they knew, they wouldn't tell us."
"Old man, I think even if Dr. Wang has nothing to do with them, he wouldn't tell anyone about such a valuable gift and invite thieves to his home!"
Xiong Jianbin brought a chair for him to sit down and said, "I heard that Secretary Xu will retire next year. I want to run for the position of brigade secretary against Zhou Datian."
Before Xiong Dahai could say anything, Xiong Lao Da looked at him excitedly, "Youngest, who told you that Secretary Xu was going to retire?"
"My comrade's father-in-law said that his family is from Baima Town." Xiong Jianbin said, looking at Xiong Dahai, "Old man, I want to run for the brigade secretary, it's best not to have conflicts with the villagers!"
Xiong Dahai took out his pipe, lit it, puffed it, and took two puffs before saying, "You see, now that the production quota has been assigned to each household, the brigade secretary is not as popular as before. I think you'd better find a way to move up."
"Old man, do you think I don't want to move up? My comrade-in-arms still has a city hukou. His family helped him to use a lot of connections in the past six months, and he was finally arranged to work as a temporary worker in the street." The second brother of the Lao Xiong family has been farmers for generations. How could he have used a lot of connections for him?
Xiong Dahai understood what he meant, "What's so good about being the brigade secretary?"
"The brigade secretary at least has real power. Moving forward, the militia company commander is just a figurehead who can't control anyone and has to rush to the front when something happens."
"That's right!" Boss Xiong interrupted, "Old man, look, who has reserved all the good mountain land in the village? If the youngest brother in the brigade could take charge, we brothers would have reserved the Guanyin Mountain."
Xiong Jianbin nodded. "I just heard that the land on Guanyin Mountain has been leased out. I heard about it when I was in the army. The country's policies will only get better in the future. If I can be elected as the brigade secretary, we will be able to choose the good benefits first."
"That's right. You see, Secretary Xu helps the companies he has a good relationship with."
Xiong Dahai listened to the two brothers without saying a word. He finished smoking the leaf cigarette, then looked at him and said, "You can run for secretary, but there are only two or three families with the surname Xiong in the village."
"Although your mother's last name is Zhou, the Zhou family already has a captain named Zhou Datian. If he wants to run for the election, the Zhou family will choose him. We can only win over the families with the last names of Li, Chen, Lai, etc."
