Xu Zhengrong couldn't eat anything at all, and Wang Xu was relieved to be here: "I will go directly to the police station. I am determined to find this beast. I used to think of my fellow villagers when I encountered problems, but I didn't expect it to become more and more excessive. If these pigs are in trouble, I can't escape the blame. I can't face you anymore."
Wang Xu patted Xu Zhengrong on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Xu, this is not your fault. No one expected that people's hearts could be so bad. Business has all kinds of risks. Fortunately, there are no major problems. Leave this to me and you go and do your job."
Xu Zhengrong's back seemed to have aged a dozen years as he left. Wang Xu and Gu Xi looked at each other and could only shake their heads and sigh.
Gu Xi saw Wang Xu had breakfast and went to work at the neighborhood committee. Before leaving, she pinched Wang Xu's face and said, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Don't worry. We'll get rid of the pig in two days. Cong Bao will also be on holiday tomorrow as it's her last day of school. Pack up your things and come home with me to be my wife."
Wang Xu was amused by the wife of the bandit leader: "Then you must suppress them, don't let yourself be suppressed in return."
Gu Xi glared at him and said, "You are so unruly. I am going to work now."
When they arrived at the neighborhood committee, Wu Yao and Chang Ru were talking about the pig farm. Gao Jinghong looked unhappy when she heard them. Gu Xi walked over with a smile and said, "Good morning, everyone. It's so lively today. Everyone is in good spirits."
Wu Yao snorted: "Everyone is worried about the pig farm, but you have a good attitude."
Gu Xi was still smiling. Every time Wu Yao saw her smiling like this, he admired her good attitude. "The veterinarian said it's no big deal. It will be fine tomorrow. We can get rid of the pigs in batches in the next two days so we don't have to worry anymore."
Wu Yao sighed, "This Qingmiao Village has always been a place with simple folk customs. When everyone was farming, they all worked together. How come after things were getting better and better, something like this happened?"
Gu Xi poured herself a glass of water and said, "It's normal. When we were farming, we all started from the same starting line. The more we worked, the more we earned. After we started the pig farm, it was beyond our capabilities and there were limited positions. We kept doing better and better. When we saw that they were earning more than us, we became jealous. That's why we are short-sighted.
Don’t think that the village is getting better and better, the place is getting bigger and bigger, more and more jobs are needed, and there will be more plans in the future. Those who don’t know can go and learn.
I've heard about the policy in Shanghai. After the plan, there will be a land contracting system, that is, individuals and families will contract land as units. The land will be publicly owned and the right to use it will belong to the farmers. After paying the cost of contracting, all profits from the land will belong to the family and individual.
It truly means "more work, more pay", which also greatly increases income. "
Wu Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is a good method. The peasant labor force now has something to look forward to. They will be more motivated and don't need the production team to control them to prevent them from being lazy."
Gu Xi nodded: "Life is definitely getting more and more promising. As long as you are diligent, you can make money."
Gao Jinghong lowered her head. Gu Xi observed her for a while and said, "What's wrong with you today, Sister Jinghong? You lowered your head and didn't say anything."
Gao Jinghong was suddenly called out and was startled. Some of the water in the cup in her hand spilled out. Chang Ru quickly took the clean rag on the table and wiped it for her: "Be careful. You have been absent-minded this morning. You usually chatter a lot."
Gu Xi looked at her thoughtfully: "Sister Jinghong, tell us what happened, and we can help you come up with ideas and analyze it together. One person's thinking is limited."
Seeing Gu Xi looking at her like this, Gao Jinghong panicked even more. She thought Gu Xi must have seen something: "I... I'm... fine."
Now it wasn't just Gu Xi, everyone else also felt that something was wrong with her. Wu Yao had been a soldier before, so he wasn't so easy to fool: "Gao Jinghong, are you hiding something from us?"
Gao Jinghong was frightened by Wu Yaoyi and became even more panicked: "I... I made an appointment with Dashu to go out for a walk last night, but he was delayed by something. I waited for him for a while, and then I heard... I heard someone discussing drugging in the field. But I only listened a little bit, and then Dashu came, so I left quickly."
Wu Yao's face turned cold. A man who had been on the battlefield, no matter how much time had passed, he still couldn't hide the murderous aura on his body: "You heard someone drugged you and didn't tell anyone, you actually let it go!"
Gao Jinghong was so scared that she burst into tears: "I didn't hear that the drug was given to the pig farm. I just heard the two of them talking about the laxative. I thought it was some personal grudge, and I didn't take it seriously because it was a laxative. Who knew that the drug was given to the pig farm? If I had known earlier, I would have definitely told you."
Gu Xi did not pursue the question she did not ask: "Did you hear who was discussing it?"
Gao Jinghong's voice trembled: "I didn't see their faces, but their voices sounded familiar. One is Zhou Liqin, and the other one is not so familiar, but seems to be her boyfriend Wang Jiabao."
After the names came out, everyone was silent. Everyone knew that these two names were 90% credible.
Only Gu Xi was still a little confused: "Doesn't Wang Jiabao's father work at a pig farm? Why would he do something like this? Is his father involved in it?"
Chang Ru saw that Gu Xi didn't know the situation: "Doesn't Wang Xu usually tell you about the pig farm?"
Gu Xi shook her head in confusion: "He doesn't talk much about work when he gets home, and I don't understand it either, so he just chats with me about gossip and reads books and studies."
Chang Ru's face was full of envy: "Wang Xu protects you very well, I don't want these troubles to affect you.
The pig farm was a big piece of fat meat and there was originally fierce competition. Later, Wang Chenggong, Wang Jiabao's father, became the person in charge of the pig farm and made a lot of money from it. Zheng Rong found that they were only verbally condemned but not actually punished, so he became more and more daring.
This time the pig farm was expanded, and the competition for this hot bun became more intense. As a result, Zheng Rong and Wang Xu managed it personally, and finally gave the position of person in charge to Xiang Qian. Many people were dissatisfied with a educated youth being in charge of villagers. Fortunately, Xiang Qian worked hard and took responsibility, which made people convinced.
Only the Wang family felt that the duck they had caught flew away. With such a large scale and no amount of money to make, it was simply a loss of their financial resources. So they were very unwilling to accept it. They were lazy all day long and even thought about taking advantage of small opportunities. They took out the pig feed and sold it to feed the pigs more with grass. They were caught by Xiang Qian twice and were directly fired two weeks ago. "
Gu Xi didn't expect that there would be so many tricks in running a pig farm: "It seems that starting a business is not easy, and management is very difficult. I have tried my best to distinguish rewards and punishments, and there is a bonus at the end of the year. Greed is insatiable."
Chang Ru also agreed: "When I fired him, I had already forgiven him and even gave him a hundred yuan. I didn't expect he would do such a thing. What is he trying to do? Others may not know, but how could he not know the sadness behind it? It must be so difficult."
Wu Yao was so angry that he slammed the table: "What an ungrateful person."
Gu Xi also felt it was a pity: "Uncle Xu is really disappointed this time. He is only thinking about the development of the village. In other villages, I see that the village heads are all well-off, while the villagers are suffering. It is completely different from the spirit of our village. Uncle Xu really manages the village well and does his best. But there are still people who do such things for their own selfish desires."
