Give back to Murakami
"Humph, they are all ungrateful people. Yuyu didn't even say hello when we came, but treated this bastard from nowhere as a treasure. Look at the way she chased him around, she is just like her mother, frivolous!"
After a short rest after dinner, Qin Xiaoqin said she wanted to visit the other two families.
He started cursing as soon as he went out. Yang Xu looked back and lowered his voice and said, "Okay, how can you talk about your niece like that? She hasn't even gone far."
"What if we didn't go far? I just wanted her to hear it. Just like I didn't know that Yang Xiu taught the two kids not to be close to me!" Qin Xiaoqin said with her neck stiff.
Yang Xu felt irritated and helpless. Why don’t the two children kiss you? Isn’t it your fault? Were you sincere to the child that time? You still want others to kiss you, how dare you be so shameless.
He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. After all, they were at his father-in-law's house, and if he said anything, there would definitely be a quarrel again.
Thinking of this, he looked at his chattering wife with a complicated expression. Her mother-in-law is already disappointed with her, and her brother-in-law is too lazy to pay attention to her. I don't know where she gets her confidence from, and she thinks everyone is afraid of her.
At the old Qin's house, Hu Yufeng's brows relaxed as soon as Qin Xiaoqin left.
After saying something to Yang Xiu, he lay down on the kang to rest. Since the girl came, she has to be ready for battle at all times, which makes her so tired.
Yang Xiu and Huizi also sat on the kang, sewing shoe soles while chatting. The topic of their chat was nothing more than Qin Xiaoqin.
Yang Xiu suffered a lot at her hands, but now he lives a good life. I thought all the grievances in my heart were exposed, but now when I talk about it, I still feel bitter.
"She has been causing trouble since I came into the family... In the past two years, my godmother has stopped protecting me, and life at home has become more stable."
Huizi and Yang Xiu had similar experiences: "We only have one eldest sister-in-law in our family. She is married and doesn't come back often. When she comes back, the whole family has to serve her like an old Buddha."
"Alas, every family has its own problems. Fortunately, you don't have to serve me anymore."
Huizi patted her chest thankfully and said, "That's right. I can still dream about her sideways glance at me. It scared me awake."
The two of them here complained quietly.
At Qin Wenqing's house, Qin Xiaoqin was fooled by Chen Xiulian's words and started to complain.
Chen Xiulian listened and echoed:
"Your mother is wrong. How can a goddaughter compare to a biological daughter? I have to talk to her."
But I sneered in my heart: This kid has some problems. After getting married, she still goes back to her parents' home to complain, and in front of her son-in-law. She is so stupid.
…
Qin Xiaoqin came and left on the same day.
On the third day of junior high school, Yang Xiu and Qin Wenli went to her mother's house.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Hu Yufeng returned to her parents' home.
After a year, his eldest brother's home had returned to its former dirty and messy state. Hu Yufeng was nagging while cleaning up with her younger sister. Hu Deyang was not idle either, being ordered around by her. The three siblings spent most of the day and finally made the house presentable to people.
Hu Yufang secretly revealed the news to her sister. Juanzi, who had been entangled with Hu Deyang before, either came to tease Xizi again because she saw him doing business at the market or heard that Hu Deyang's eldest sister's family had become rich.
Hu Yufeng was also convinced. This woman was really adaptable. He can do anything with this ability, but he has to cheat the elderly out of their five-guarantee money.
"What's your reaction, brother?"
"I'm still angry now, and I don't know what will happen in the future."
Hu Yufeng was a little surprised. She thought that Hu Deyang just followed her because of a little teasing.
"Never mind for now, my brother is a man who only cares about food and not about punishment. When people find out that he has no money, I guarantee they will kick him out first!"
Hu Deyang, who was hanging clothes outside the house: Can you speak louder? Are you afraid he can’t hear you?
As the two were talking, Hu Yufeng mentioned the matter of bringing Hu Deyang home.
Hu Yufang hesitated: "My mother asked me to take care of my brother before she died. I am incapable..."
"There are three sisters in our family. Your second sister is unreliable. I will take care of her first, and I will pick you up when she can't stand it anymore." When people die, they must return to their roots. She can take care of her now, but she must return to the Hu family before she dies.
Hu Deyang outside the house: They don't treat him as a human being at all. They started discussing his affairs after his death right in front of him.
He said unhappily, "As long as I can move, I won't go to anyone's house."
Really, if you don’t worry about your own family after you get married, why bother about him? He is a loser who cannot bring honor to his sisters, but he also doesn't want to hold them back. These two idiots, why don’t you learn from Yuxiang? Having a brother like him is the same as not having one. It would be so nice for them to live their own peaceful lives.
If you are thoughtful, just buy a straw mat and bury him after he dies. If you can remember, burn two pieces of paper during the festivals. If you can't remember, just forget it. Anyway, he can live without money, so how can death be harder than living?
Inside the house, Hu Yufeng said nothing. My brother is a stubborn person, so we need to take things slowly.
After returning from my mother's house, I received several waves of guests and visited the dealers at home one after another. Qin Wenli's family of four also went back to visit his parents and brothers, and time flew by and it was the 16th day of the first lunar month again.
The rare holiday is over, and the busy prelude is about to begin.
On New Year's Eve, Hu Yufeng formulated a plan for this year: continue to expand the market and strive to take over the entire Yang County as soon as possible.
Developing the market is one thing, but logistical support is also essential.
Before the full-scale construction started, Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli took time to visit the village committee.
"You mean that you will buy from anyone who is willing to grow rapeseed and sesame at the market price?" Secretary Gou confirmed.
"Well, it's not just rapeseed and sesame, soybeans and wheat as well. As long as they come from our village, my family will give priority to purchasing them," Hu Yufeng added.
In the past two years, because of the problem of recruiting workers, Murakami has said all kinds of things. Some say she is kind and unaware of her roots, while others say she is just showing off because she has a little money.
Hu Yufeng didn't care. People are not just warm and glorious, they also have an ugly and cruel side.
But my family’s roots are in the village, so I’m afraid that some evil-minded people will do bad things. The sheep will run around in the fields and nibble on the food, and the cows will be trampled on if they are not tied up. It's not a big deal, but it's disgusting.
Just give them a little hope. It's not good to give them too much benefit, as it will easily turn a favor into a grudge.
Wasn’t the agricultural tax abolished last year? Some families must have surplus grain to sell this year. Then let’s collect your oil seeds and wheat. Our family uses a lot of them and we have to buy them every year.
Just follow the market price, and you’ll have money for a trip to town, and it’s so convenient to take the money home.
Secretary Gou obviously thought of this as well, and expressed his sincere gratitude: "Sister, Wenli, I thank you on behalf of all the villagers. Don't worry, I promise to convey your message. If there are any unskilled people, just report them to me."
Hu Yufeng was satisfied with his words.
On the second day, the news that the Qin family had priority in purchasing the village's agricultural products spread throughout Xiaogou Village like a gust of wind. Upon hearing the news, the villagers began to talk about it.
"My family has three acres of vacant land. Now it's good. I can plant sesame and sell it to Lao Qin's family. I can also plant rapeseed in the second crop."
"That's right. We don't need to send the government-purchased grain. We can keep enough food and sell it to get some money. The tuition for this child is very expensive."
"The Qin family is a kind-hearted family. They can go to the store to buy refined oil. After buying our oilseeds, they still have to press them."
"Hurry up and be quiet. If someone hears us and doesn't buy our products, we'll be finished."
Some said good things and some said bad things, and a few people who like to gossip about others gathered together.
"The Qin family is really cunning. They coaxed those idiots into being grateful with the same price. In my opinion, the town has a large quantity, so her small business should be priced higher than the town."
"That's right. They are still in the name of a village. Since they are in the same village, the price should be higher than others."
"□□ said that in the common prosperity, she should teach us the skills, so as to show her kindness. The collection of grain and oil is just fooling people."
After these words were spoken, the people who were together fell silent.
Emma, think about it or dare to think about it!
"Teach you? What are you? Are you the son or grandson of the Qin family? How about I call your father and change your surname? Do you think the Qin family will want you?"
"Secretary Gou, Secretary Gou?" The man's face instantly turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
"We were just joking..." The others grinned awkwardly.
"You all don't learn your lesson, what do you think the Qin family deserves? Are you very generous? That's perfect, there are still people in our village who don't have enough to eat, you can give them some food, and we can all prosper together!"
Everyone waved their hands and stepped back.
"You are rich and noble. Go back and tell your family that the Qin family can't afford your things." Secretary Gou said with a stern face.
"Secretary Gou, it was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously..."
Behind him, everyone who had reacted spoke quickly, but Secretary Gou didn't even turn his head.
Everyone was suddenly panicked. The sons were fine, but the daughters-in-law were almost crying. How can she explain to her family about taking in other people's children but not her own? Her father-in-law and husband will definitely scold her to death.
The one who was caught on the spot also complained: "You didn't even tell me Secretary Gou was coming."
Others: They were all stunned by your explosive speech, so who would notice the presence of others?
The group left unhappily.
At Lao Qin's house, Hu Yufeng also received a small note from Secretary Gou. You don't have to guess what's going on. Some of Murakami's bad mouths really deserve to be punished.
Since Secretary Gou has taken action, we just need to follow his orders.
The family is very busy, so it's not worth wasting time on these little things.
…
This busy period brings us to the summer harvest.
There is good news: the combine harvester that Hu Yufeng has been coveting for several years has come to their village.
Alas, Wenli’s parents have been using a combine harvester for several years, but her family only got one this year. Hu Yufeng once again felt the backwardness of the remote mountain village.
I once again began to doubt my decision to build a factory in my hometown.
Fortunately, it is still a long way from building the factory, so there is enough time for her to survey and decide.
The most important thing at the moment is to harvest as soon as possible.
The scene that Hu Yufeng imagined, where the whole village would rush to line up and the harvesters would start smoking, did not happen. In fact, only his family, Secretary Gou's family, and the Wang family hired harvesters, while others still used manual labor to harvest.
The reason is that it’s too expensive and we can’t afford it!
"A harvester costs 60 yuan per mu. We have 8 mu of land, so it costs 480 yuan. My life may not be worth that much!"
Liu Shehong imitated her man's words when she came to work.
Hu Yufeng felt relieved when she heard this. Fortunately, she knew how to make money, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to afford a harvester.
Hu Yufeng felt completely repulsive at the thought of sweating in the fields on a hot day.
Make money, make a lot of money!
