Chapter 104 104 After hearing that they had to pay such a large amount of money, nothing happened...
What can you invest in these days? Speculation is the best option.
Ding Guo was not opposed to this form of behavior. She had been to the black market and bought things from it. She was just surprised at how much trouble Ding Nianjun could make.
It seems that Ding Nianjun's previous reselling of cloth was not affected because there was no substantial evidence, so it did not affect her courage. It has not been long since then, but she is ready to act again, and it seems that she is planning to take the Ding family with her.
But Lu Xiaomei suffered a loss that time, so would she dare to continue reselling?
Lu Xiaomei was indeed nervous. When Ding Nianjun returned to the guesthouse, she whispered to Ding Jianguo, "I was fined by the factory last time for reselling cloth, and I'm still scared. I'm a little hesitant about what Nianjun said."
Although Pan Dingfeng later used his connections to allow her to end the punishment early, she still felt scared when she thought about it.
Besides...the Pan family is now badly damaged and is no longer as strong as before.
So Lu Xiaomei didn't dare to take any more risks.
Ding Jianguo was also worried, because that was speculation.
Lu Xiaomei and Ding Jianshe were arrested by the factory that time. At least the factory gave them some face and didn't directly torture them to death, otherwise Lu Xiaomei and Ding Jianshe would have both gone to jail.
But Nianjun said that this time was different from the previous time.
The last time Lu Xiaomei was fined, it was because she defined qualified products as defective cloth, dumped them out and then sold them at the price of qualified cloth. This is purely a crime. How could she not be fined?
This time, Lu Xiaomei was only asked to buy some defective cloth from the factory. This situation was very common in the factory, and she was not asked to buy it secretly. She could talk to her supervisor, give him a cigarette, and buy more than others, so that Ding Nianjun could gain face with Zhao Jinbao.
In addition, let the two of them invest some money and share the profits.
Ding Jianguo said: "We only invest money and don't participate in speculation, so there is no risk. Even if Nianjun's friend was arrested, it has nothing to do with us. If that person really said something, we will insist that he just borrowed some money from us, and we have no idea what he did with the money."
Nianjun is right. You can't get rich just by relying on that meager salary.
"The investment is not much, why not give it a try?" Ding Jianguo was tempted.
Lu Xiaomei whispered, "Nianjun's friend just partnered with others to collect some grain and vegetables from the countryside. There wasn't much meat, so was it really necessary to invest so much money?"
Ding Jianguo said softly, "There are also cotton and eggs. We don't need to worry about these things. Since Nianjun said this, it must be that her friends have the ability and courage to do so, and the amount they poured is not small."
Ding Nianjun did persuade Zhao Jinbao to expand the types of goods they purchased. Not only the types, but also the quantities had to be increased. Otherwise, it would be not worth the effort to just make a few dollars.
In the space, Ding Guo washed a plate of crispy and sweet fresh dates and ate them with a crunch. He was saying to the system with emotion: "The Ding family is really a magical existence!"
Regarding the conflicts between the original owner and Ding Tao, Ding Guo hoped to never have any contact with Ding Tao again. Even if they had contact, it would definitely be unpleasant. She would be a member of her backstage display screen and would never stand at the factory gate and chat with her in a friendly manner.
All this is thanks to the Ding family.
Ding Tao came again today and revealed a piece of information to her: "The guy who occupied the nest came to see me last night."
As usual, Ding Guo grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her, and stood in the leeward side, eating the seeds and chatting with his neck hunched.
Ding Tao: "She came to me and asked me to find out if there was any defective paper in the paper mill, and what the price was, and whether it could be sold. I just joined the factory and I haven't met everyone yet, so how can I find out for her?"
Ding Guo expressed his admiration that Ding Nianjun really spared no effort to develop the business.
Fortunately, I don’t have a good relationship with her, otherwise I would have to help her buy defective pastries from the factory.
Speculation is not exclusive to city dwellers. Ding Tao also knows this. There is a black market in her hometown commune, and she has secretly sold eggs there. So even if Ding Guo didn't tell her in detail yesterday, she could guess Ding Nianjun's intentions from what she overheard Ding Nianjun saying to his cousin and his wife last night when she asked her about the defective paper.
"How could she, a woman who married to the capital, engage in speculation and profiteering?" Ding Tao was very puzzled.
In her eyes, Ding Nianjun was lucky and blessed. She was raised by her grandparents since she was a child. For her, they sent Ding Guo back to the countryside to be raised by her grandmother.
Now she has married and moved to the capital, which is the capital.
Her husband's family is rich and powerful, and her husband is just a secretary to some leader, a small cadre.
How can such a person engage in speculation and profiteering? How narrow-minded he is.
"Sister, is it because her husband's family is powerful that she is not afraid of being arrested?" Ding Tao was like a sponge trying hard to absorb knowledge. She absorbed all the gossip about her uncle's family and saved it for when she returned home during the Chinese New Year so that she could tell her parents and sister about it and open their eyes.
Although Ding Tao told her about the old Ding family, Ding Guo still needed to investigate this person, so he didn't tell her too much. He nodded and said, "Maybe. If something goes wrong, someone will cover it. You'd better not get involved..."
Ding Tao had just arrived in Fengning and had just found a job, which had not yet been formally confirmed. If she got involved and was caught in trouble by someone else, she would lose the job that her parents had fought so hard for her to get.
Ding Tao nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Afterwards, he told Ding Guo some information about how the old man had a cold face, how the old lady had to be humble, and how he had fought with Ding Xiang. He also got a handful of melon seeds and left with satisfaction.
People in the city have a good life. For example, when she was in the village, she ate less melon seeds during the New Year than she did these two days at Ding Guo's place. It's just a little cold.
A few days later, Ding Tao's "reward" was upgraded, and Ding Guo gave her a bag of biscuits wrapped in oil paper.
Ding Tao figured out ways and methods to get closer to Ding Guo. These days, apart from going to work, she has been secretly keeping an eye on the Ding family, sparing no effort to find out all kinds of information, and even learned how to follow Ding Nianjun on her own.
"The man who traded with Ding Nianjun was called Zhao Jinbao, Ding Nianjun's high school classmate. I think he was quite professional in swindling people, and he must have been doing speculation for a long time."
Zhao Jinbao!
Ding Guo discovered that this person also existed in the original owner's memory. He was also a classmate of the original owner, but they just had a bad relationship... Well, this grandson had used verbal violence against the original owner, mocked the original owner for being unsophisticated, and imitated the original owner's timid attitude in class, causing the whole class to burst into laughter.
For this reason, that bastard Ding Jianguo went home and quarreled with the original owner, thinking that the original owner was petty and unpresentable, and made him lose face in front of his classmates.
But this character does not seem to appear in the book. After all, there is no incident in the book about Ding Nianjun returning to Fengning to engage in speculation after marriage. After marriage, he transferred his work and personnel relations to the capital and got a decent job.
This piece of news is not the most valuable. The most valuable thing is that Ding Nianjun accidentally ran into Ding Guo returning home, knew the address of her rented house, and was asking about Ding Guo's landlord.
"I followed her, and she found you. I also saw you come in, and I also saw Dayong..."
While talking, Ding Tao was also curious about what Ding Guo gave her. She opened it and saw that it was slices of dry bread. She didn't think much about it and thought that Ding Guo was just like her mother, who would wait until the pastries she bought were dry and even slightly moldy before eating them. But Ding Guo was more particular and cut the bread into slices.
However, this dry bread is different from the bread sold in the supply and marketing cooperative in my hometown. Look at the color, it’s bright yellow and looks very good.
She didn't mind the cold air pouring into her mouth. She took out a piece and took a bite. Then she widened her eyes in surprise: "Sister, isn't this dry bread that has been stored for a long time? This is delicious!"
Ding Guo rolled his eyes: "Am I so wicked?"
The bread was crispy and fragrant, and tasted completely different from the old bread she had eaten before. Ding Tao ate half a piece in one go: "Delicious, sister, this is so delicious!"
After coming to Fengning, she had not been to the city's supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores, and had never seen the pastries displayed in the stores, so it was no wonder she was surprised.
"Hmm!" Ding Tao swallowed the bread in her mouth and continued, "She also lay on your door to listen to the noises in your house, looked at your house number, and then went to your neighbors to knock on their doors to inquire about your landlord. Maybe it was too late, so she didn't go directly to your landlord, and went back to the guesthouse after asking. She didn't go last night either, she left Ding's house after dinner and went back to the guesthouse. I don't know if she went to inquire yesterday daytime."
She was at work during the day and had no time to keep an eye on Ding Nianjun, so she could only keep an eye on him for a while at night.
"I know about this. Thank you. I'll invite you to my house for dinner in a couple of days." Ding Guo said, "Don't watch her too closely. If she finds out, she'll make things difficult for you."
Ding Tao lives at home, and if Ding Nianjun goes somewhere, she will follow him too, which would be too easy to be exposed.
Ding Tao: "It's okay. They're eager for me to go out for a walk after dinner. It's convenient for them to chat when I go out, right? By the way, Ding Jianshe has been discharged from the hospital and is now living in the living room. He treats me with no regard for me."
Ding Guoduo warned: "This guy has a bad temper. He used to be Ding Nianjun's thug. You should be careful when you face him in the future."
Ding Tao pouted and said, "I'm not someone you can easily mess with. If he dares to hit me, I'll break his tailbone again."
"Okay, you're awesome!" Ding Guo said speechlessly.
"Don't talk about me. Aren't you afraid that Ding Nianjun will do something bad to your landlord and instigate him to kick you out?" Ding Tao finished a piece of bread and couldn't help but eat another one. It was so delicious.
Ding Guo was actually looking forward to Ding Nianjun giving him money.
But after waiting for a few days, there was no news. Not only did Ding Nianjun not come to see me, but the landlord didn't come either.
Ding Nianjun was also depressed.
When she went to see Zhao Jinbao that day, she took a shortcut and accidentally discovered the house rented by Ding Guo.
She spent one dollar to find out the landlord's information and found the landlord the next morning. However, she offered a high price for the house, but the other party was stunned for a moment and then refused.
Ding Nianjun did not give up and went there twice more. The woman had no choice but to tell her that when she rented the house to Ding Guo, they signed an agreement. If he breached the contract before the expiration of the contract, she would have to pay ten times the compensation.
The rent for her house is only fifty or sixty yuan a year. If Ding Guo is kicked out now, she will have to pay five or six hundred yuan in compensation.
Of course, if Ding Nianjun was willing to pay, she would agree, but Ding Nianjun was not stupid.
She drove Ding Guo out to make things difficult for her, but it was not worth it if it cost hundreds of dollars to do so.
After running several times, she got such a result, which made Ding Nianjun feel uncomfortable. When she called Pan Dingfeng, she couldn't help but talk about this matter. Her tone was consistent and she didn't complain. She didn't say that she deliberately went to find the landlord. In her mouth, she met the landlord by accident, and she knew the rent situation by asking him in order to understand the rental market. She said to Pan Dingfeng: "Dingfeng, my elder sister's method is quite good. We can learn from it when renting a house in the future."
Pan Dingfeng also felt depressed after listening to this.
He had been busy these few days since he returned to the capital. He had visited many places after work, but still hadn't been able to rent a house... He did ask about two places, but they were both single rooms in a large courtyard. There wasn't even an independent bathroom in the yard, and he had to go to the public toilet at the entrance of the alley to use the toilet. Not to mention that Nianjun would not agree to such conditions, he himself couldn't stand it.
Now that I hear about Ding Guo’s rental situation, it would be strange if I could feel happy.
But when he heard that he had to pay ten times the amount for breach of contract, he realized that he could only continue to be unhappy. He said with a sullen breath, "Humph, she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."
I have to say that this method is indeed worth learning from, the only thing missing is the house.
Ding Nianjun was somewhat disappointed when she heard him say just this, but she still cheered herself up and chatted with him for a few more words: "... Don't worry, the baby is fine. Mom and Dad... are still in a cold war... I have received the remittance slip, I will return it to Mom after I take it out. Dingfeng, don't mind this matter. Mom did something wrong. She should have discussed it with Dad... I didn't know Mom gave it to me secretly..."
Before hanging up the phone, Pan Dingfeng hesitated for a moment, but finally asked one more question: "Who is Ding Guo's landlord? Where does he work?"
Pan Dingfeng still remembers the loss he suffered last time and has reviewed it.
The reason why it caused such a big backlash is that, ultimately, the responsibility lies with Qi Guangming himself. His methods were too extreme.
He didn't need to resort to extreme means. He could just try to drive Ding Guo out of the rental house to disgust Ding Guo and vent his anger.
After hanging up the phone, he started to make inquiries, and it turned out to be quite a coincidence that Ding Guo’s current landlord was actually a distant relative of the aunt of one of his comrades-in-arms.
With this relationship, Ding Guo could be kicked out of the house with just one word, but he was unwilling to pay a few hundred dollars for such a complicated relationship.
So, after asking so many questions, the problem is still about money.
Pan Dingfeng, like Ding Nianjun, looked around for people and asked a lot of questions, but in the end he failed to make things difficult for Ding Guo, but ended up making himself quite depressed.
Ding Guo met the landlord.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
When Ding Guo came home from get off work, he saw the landlord's sister-in-law Xu Guihong standing at the door. He thought, it's been several days, is she finally coming?
The news brought by Ding Tao is no less than a pair of shoes that can't fall. It's really a trouble to think about it all day long. Now that I see the landlord, is the other shoe about to fall?
"Xiao Ding, have you offended anyone?"
Xu Guihong followed Ding Guo into the yard, and at first glance she felt relieved.
The tenant kept the yard clean and tidy, and as the landlord, I was very satisfied. However, when I thought about the people who came over recently, I felt unhappy.
Ding Guo smiled and invited her into the house, saying, "What do you mean?"
Xu Guihong did not hide it and said that someone had been looking for her a few days ago, and someone had recently found her mother. Her mother, considering the relationship between the relatives, sent her a telegram, saying that if it didn't work, she should tell the tenant and ask them to rent another house. But Xu Guihong talked about the agreement signed at that time. The agreement was written quite formally, and it would be troublesome if someone took it to the street office to make trouble.
Her mother asked her to come over and ask who Ding Guo had offended and whether he could solve it himself.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, according to your description, it should be my sister and my brother-in-law. But you don't have to be too embarrassed. As long as they are willing to pay the penalty, I will move out immediately."
Xu Guihong laughed and said, "Are they stupid? They didn't respond when they heard they had to pay so much money. It's fine as long as it's someone you know. My mom is afraid... it will cause other troubles. But speaking of it, why is your sister targeting you so much?"
Ding Guo: "This is a long story..."
When it comes to conflicts, try not to be vague if you can explain them clearly. Who knows if Ding Nianjun has made up some nonsense about Xu Guihong, which has led to misunderstandings. So Ding Guo never hides the fact that he has conflicts with Ding Nianjun.
There is no such thing as a family disgrace that should not be made public. The family disgrace is the Ding family's disgrace and the Pan family's disgrace. Why doesn't she spread it?
Xu Guihong left with a belly full of melon.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Ding Guo finished his meal and entered the space. The temperature in there was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. He was just leisurely enjoying himself when he heard someone knocking on the door, so he quickly got out.
"Who is it?" "Me!" Ding Tao's deliberately lowered voice came from outside.
Ding Guo went over and opened the door, and Ding Tao sneaked in: "Sister, the latest news is that Zhao Jinbao said he wanted to vent his anger on behalf of Ding Nianjun."
