The factory naturally had a telephone installed, but the village did not have the conditions to install one, which was very troublesome.
"Manager Liu, to be honest, the conditions in the village are poor and we still don't have the facilities to install a telephone. How about this? When we're almost done, I'll have someone from the village ride a bicycle over here. Do you think this will work?"
The village chief started to discuss with Liu Bin.
Liu Bin said, "Okay, but if you want to do this long-term, communication is very important. Let me tell you, an old classmate of mine works at the post office. I'll ask him how to install a landline phone."
"Manager Liu, thank you for your kindness, but we don't have the conditions to install a phone in our village right now. How about this: in a month, when the village has money, the first thing we'll do is install a phone. I'll trouble you then."
Liu Bin understood the difficulties faced by the villagers, but daily payroll was clearly unrealistic. "Village head, the factory has its own policies. Considering your special circumstances, I'll try to talk to the finance department about settling your wages once a week. However, I can only do my best and can't guarantee anything yet."
"Manager Liu, you are such a kind person, and a great benefactor to our village. As for the money, please do your best. If you really can't, we villagers can wait for a month. As long as we get the money by then, it will be fine."
The village chief still has great trust in the factory. Such a large factory cannot just be destroyed.
It's nice to sit back under a big tree and enjoy the shade.
The village will have a good life sooner or later.
Tian Chengcheng decided to stay and take care of Fu Xinhan, while Tian Hengyuan went back with the convoy and had to take care of the old lady.
Before leaving, Tian Chengcheng handed 1,500 yuan to the village chief.
The village chief was shocked. "Fubao, how do you have so much money? Where did it come from?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, this 1,500 yuan was collected by my godmother, Aunt Wan, and Master Wang. Starting a business in the village also requires some working capital. Although the factory can't settle wages immediately, with this money, we can pay the workers every day. Right now is the most difficult time for everyone. Although the money is not much, it is a timely help. Let's help everyone get through this difficult time first."
Tian Chengcheng's explanation was very logical.
The village chief was a little hesitant. This was 1,500 yuan, and others had contributed the money for Fubao's sake.
He shouldn't have taken this money.
But as Fubao said, in the early stages of starting a business, both the village and the villagers needed the money very much.
This is life-saving money.
"Fubao, didn't you say there was interest before? I'll take this money, and when the time comes, it will be settled according to the bank's interest rate, and the interest will be paid from the village's dividends." said the village chief.
Guo Hongchang's eyes looked at Tian Chengcheng differently.
This little girl always gives people the biggest surprises.
It always touches people inadvertently.
"Okay, let's do as the village chief says." Tian Chengcheng smiled.
She didn't care about the interest, but she didn't want to embarrass the village chief.
Seeing that the village chief agreed, Tian Chengcheng leaned over to Tian Hengyuan and whispered a few words.
Tian Hengyuan nodded silently and kept it in mind.
The village chief asked Guo Hongchang to count the cash in person. In order to facilitate the settlement, he went to the bank and exchanged it for 500 yuan in bills.
On the way back, Guo Hongchang sat in the car and calculated the day's wages according to each person's piecework.
Tian Hengyuan went to the grain station and bought two hundred kilograms of cornmeal.
After returning to Wangshan Village, the village chief gathered the workers together and talked about the issue of distributing money.
"Giving out money right now? Village chief, is this true?"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that they could get the money.
"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied?" the village chief said in a loud voice, choking with emotion. "Fellow villagers, we are rich now! We are finally rich! As long as we all work together, we will surely live a happy life in the future."
At Tian Fuhua's call, everyone lined up and started to receive their wages.
After each person confirms the number of items they want to buy, they settle the bill, put their fingerprints on the item, and then the money is counted on the spot.
The one who made the least earned 60 cents.
Everyone held the money in their hands, so happy that they didn't know what to do.
"Fellow villagers, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Hengyuan specially bought 200 kilograms of cornmeal from the grain depot. We're selling it to you at the price we paid for it, 1.2 cents per kilogram. If you need it, you can buy it! I'm going to make it clear in advance that Hengyuan will sell it to you at the same price we paid for it. We won't make a penny profit. Don't take advantage of us and whisper behind your back about us taking advantage of you. If anyone buys it and talks behind your back, don't blame me for being rude if I find out!"
The village chief said seriously.
Everyone quickly said they didn't know and gathered around Tian Hengyuan. With the help of the wealthy wife, everyone basically bought one or two kilograms of cornmeal.
The cornmeal that was distributed last time was already eaten up by the large family.
If you can make money every day, not only will your family not go hungry, but you can also save money. It would be a great thing.
If there is someone working in the family, the whole family will be grateful.
But there were still a few families where no one worked, and their eyes were red with envy.
For example, Tian Jingzhi's mother, the old lady watched other families happily carrying the food they bought away, while she was left with nothing. Her mood was so deep that it was beyond words.
"Village Chief, where is my son? He followed you guys that day, and it's been two days, and I haven't seen him. Where did you take my son?"
The old lady also went to see the village chief yesterday, but unfortunately the village chief was too busy and couldn't finish his work. When she went to the village chief's house in the evening, she was stopped outside by the village chief's wife.
It was not until now that she took the risk and finally stopped the village chief.
The village chief knew what she was planning when he saw her. He gave her a cold look and said, "Your son is enjoying a good life in the city. He has food and shelter, and he's not exposed to the wind or the rain. He's doing very well."
"...Really?" The old lady's eyes lit up instantly. "Then why didn't he come back? Did he find that bitch Wang Xiaohong and those three money-losing bastards?"
The village chief's brows were twisted into knots.
"Mother Jing, don't blame me for being harsh. You call Wang Xiaohong a slut and your granddaughter a money-loser, simply because they're women. So, according to you, you're also a slut and a money-loser. Why don't you label yourself a money-loser? You have seven sisters on your mother's side and no brothers, so they're all money-losers."
"...Can that bitch Wang Xiaohong compare with me? Village chief, I'm asking you about my son, why are you arguing with me about these useless things?" The old lady was very angry.
"I look at Wang Xiaohong and her two daughters. They're much better off than you. At least they can support themselves, while you and your son can only be leeches. How can you have the nerve to criticize others? The era of evil mothers-in-law is over. You still don't understand the situation. It's ridiculous!"
The village chief spit out his eyes and started to talk seriously.
This woman is really hateful.
It's unbearable.
