"Comrade Qin, I didn't mean it!"
"If you didn't do this on purpose, then what does it mean? Comrade Zhao, how about I call someone from the Public Security Bureau to come and judge the matter?"
"Don't!" Zhao Xinmin panicked. "I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll do whatever Comrade Qin says!"
"I want you to go and apologize to my father-in-law in person. Will you go?"
Zhao Xinmin's face turned pale. "Qin, Comrade Qin, please stop joking. Old Master Chen has already... Even if I wanted to apologize to him in person, I can't!"
Qin Jianye spread his hands: "So, what are you going to do?"
He turned to look at Director Meng: "Director Meng, please tell me how to give me justice!"
Seeing that the crowd was growing, Director Meng made a direct decision: "The dead cannot be resurrected. It would be difficult for him to apologize to the old man in person.
Why not let him pay some money so that he can shoulder the burden of raising his grandson for the old man?
"I, your uncle, am still alive. How can I let others raise my child for me? No way!" Qin Jianye's indignant look made the old man look at him with admiration.
Qin Baogen stood up and spoke at the right time: "Third brother, don't say angry words. We country people don't make any money all year round, how can we afford to raise a child?
I think what this comrade said makes sense.”
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
Director Meng wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so he discussed it with Qin Baogen: "Comrade Zhao earns 35 yuan a month. He should use 5 yuan to support the child until he turns 18."
Qin Baogen frowned: "Five dollars? That's too little!
As far as I know, Mr. Chen is a capable man. If he were still alive, he would never let his grandson live in a small place like ours."
Director Meng was stunned, and then he remembered Qin Jianye's identity.
It is said that he has close ties with the provincial capital, and it was because of the help there that he was hired as a temporary worker.
At the beginning, he valued Qin Jianye very much and wanted to transfer to the provincial capital through Qin Jianye's connections.
It turned out that they didn't seem to care about Qin Jianye at all. He proposed to make Qin Jianye a regular employee several times, but they kept rejecting his proposal.
Director Meng was confused about the situation and put the matter aside. As time went by, he forgot about it.
Now that Qin Baogen mentioned it, he felt inexplicably worried.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Ten yuan, if it's more, the Zhao family won't be able to survive.
I know this is a bit unfair to Brother Qin, but what happened to Old Master Chen was ultimately caused by the provincial capital."
Qin Baogen thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll agree on behalf of the third brother.
However, I don't trust Comrade Zhao. Director Meng should calculate the total amount needed and settle it all at once."
Director Meng also felt that Zhao Xinmin was unreliable and was afraid that he would break the contract after a long time. If the Qingshan Brigade came to make trouble again, he agreed.
"Xiaojun is 5 years old this year, and there are still 13 years until he turns 18. At 10 yuan a month, that's 120 yuan a year, so in 13 years that's 1560 yuan."
Zhao Xinmin almost fainted when he heard this: "Director, this is too much!"
"Humph, you killed someone, so what if you pay some money? If you don't want to, then find a way yourself. Report it to the police, or something."
"You can't report it to the police, you can't report it." If this is reported to the police, can he still keep his job?
There was no choice but to agree, but: "I don't have that much money."
"It's okay if you don't have it. The factory will pay for it first and deduct it from your salary later."
Just as Director Meng was about to ask Zhao Xinmin to write an IOU, Qin Baogen interrupted him.
He wanted to retort, but the Qingshan Brigade was so aggressive that he opened his mouth but the words died in his throat.
Because everyone was watching the fun, the accountant didn't leave yet.
Qin Baogen struck while the iron was hot and asked someone to go back to the office to get the money.
Before leaving, he patted Director Meng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. If that person can intercept information from the provincial capital, he can do something even more outrageous.
You have to be careful.”
This one sentence planted a thorn in Director Meng's heart.
Qin Baogen laughed and led the members home.
Qian Guihua and the other aunts curled their lips, thinking that this matter was handled too smoothly and they hadn't even thrown a tantrum yet.
However, more people were eagerly looking at the money in Qin Jianye's hand. They felt that just by making a scene, they could get so much money, which was really worth it.
Qin Jianye knew that money was a temptation, so he kept 160 yuan. He deposited the remaining 1400 yuan under the witness of the captain.
It was deposited in Chen Sijun's name. Everyone praised Qin Jianye for his openness. Such a large sum of money, yet he was not tempted at all.
Qin Jianye took out sixty yuan and shared it with everyone: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me make this decision."
There were more than twenty people from the Qingshan Brigade, and almost everyone got two yuan. They all took the money and smiled.
"We are all from the same production team. How can we let others bully our own people?"
Qin Jianye said some nice words and asked everyone to go for a walk in the county and meet under the big locust tree in an hour.
Everyone nodded and dispersed, looking around excitedly on the street.
Some of them were anxious and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they could buy some defective products without requiring a ticket.
Qin Jianye took out ten yuan and added a few food coupons, and asked Chen Yunwei to take her family to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Then he took Qin Siyue and went straight to the scrap yard.
Before leaving, I made an appointment with the old man to buy books the next day, but the delay lasted for more than half a month. I don’t know if the textbooks were sold.
As a result, the book didn't sell, but the old man was unhappy about being stood up.
Qin Jianye took out two cigarettes and apologized to the other party in a humble manner.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't keep my promise, it's just that something happened at home!"
The white cloth that was exposed intentionally or unintentionally made the old man's expression relax.
Pulling out the textbook from under the bed: "Here, it's all here, give me five dollars!"
Five dollars is really a high price.
However, Qin Jianye did not bargain and happily took out five yuan: "Thank you for your hard work!"
The old man was very satisfied with his attitude. After putting the books into the sack, he took out a small box and said, "Look, this girl is ambitious. Let's give this thing to her to play with!"
Qin Siyue took it with surprise and looked it up and down: "Thank you, uncle. I will study hard!"
The old man was very satisfied with her attitude, waved his hand and let her leave.
Qin Siyue put the box into the space with the help of a sack and said to Qin Jianye, "Dad, I didn't expect there would be such good stuff at the scrap yard. This thing is made of small-leaf red sandalwood."
Qin Jianye nodded: "Whose ancestors haven't been rich? In Yang County alone, there are several big landlords."
He lowered his voice and said, "I guess that old man didn't know the value of this wood at all. He thought it was incomplete and was for girls, so he gave it to you."
Qin Siyue laughed: "It's also because we came at the right time and are so generous. Dad, I feel like we are super lucky."
"Well, maybe." Qin Jianye thought: "At least the problems I encountered have been properly resolved."
