"My senior brother spent money to buy so many advanced machines. Factories in other provinces are jealous when they see our machines. It's better for you, now you are clamoring to contract the machines. What is this? What do you plan to do with these machines from my senior brother?"
How to deal with it?" Xiao Jinlin said, patting the table.
"Isn't this a discussion? It's not that we insist on contracting. It's not that the higher-ups have this spirit. Our arms can't twist our thighs. People in the county and town say so, how can we resist?" Zhou Fenglai said.
"Feng Lai, you said it nicely. Do you think I don't know? Your family, Guohua, wants to contract the machinery factory. From now on, the machinery factory will belong to your family. The machines Changxing bought for the whole village will be exclusive to your family.
You think well. Now the machinery factory earns hundreds of thousands for the whole village every year. If your family contracts the machinery factory, how much contract fee are you prepared to pay per year?" Xiao Jinlin asked.
"When you contract a machinery factory, you have to pay wages to the workers, and you also need to pay for electricity. It costs a lot of money, and you can't make nothing without it. You have to pay the contracting fee, but you can't pay all the contracting fees, right?" Zhou Fenglai said.
.
"You, Zhou Fenglai, will settle the accounts. If the machinery factory is not contracted out, then you don't have to pay wages? Will you pay more wages after contracting the machinery factory? If you don't contract it out, Xianjiqiao will distribute it to each household.
So much. After contracting, the money is still less. Everyone is still clamoring to be contracted out. Are the people in Xianji Bridge all pigs?" Xiao Jinlin said.
Zhou Fenglai said quickly: "You can't say that. Contracting a machinery factory is a matter of spirit in the county and town."
Zhang Fangqing said with a smile: "Don't talk about things in such a spirit. The spirit of the county and town only encourages contracting out collective enterprises to revitalize non-performing assets. It does not say that contracting out prosperous collective enterprises to make money for private individuals. You have the wind.
I have a lot of ink in my belly, but I can’t treat the whole village as fools.”
Zhou Maolin has been smoking. He is about to retire. He doesn’t want to care about these things anymore, and he doesn’t have the energy to care about them. The plate in the village is getting bigger and bigger, and the conflicts in the village are getting bigger and bigger. And he has control over Xianji Bridge.
It's getting worse. Take Zhou Fenglai as an example, a lot of the efforts of the Xianjiqiao brigade were unknowingly compiled into Zhou Fenglai's hands. All the books of Xianjiqiao were in Zhou Fenglai's hands. Zhou Maolin himself couldn't figure out many things.
Instead, Xianjiqiao spread rumors that Zhou Maolin had embezzled public money, which led to people in Xianjiqiao becoming more and more dissatisfied with Zhou Maolin.
"Stop arguing! Chang Xing is back!" I don't know who shouted.
The playground of Xianjiqiao Primary School suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Maolin straightened up suddenly, and a ray of light emitted from his dim eyes.
Zhou Fenglai sighed, the good situation he had been working on for so long was suddenly disrupted.
Xiao Jinlin and others were overjoyed: "Great!"
Zhang Dalei shouted: "There is also a bird meeting! Go pick up Chang Xing!"
At this moment, the whole village rushed towards Chang Xing's house.
The car stopped at Chang Xing's house. Although Tian Daosen had already gone to the city and received a call from Chang Xing, Tian Daosen asked Luotian County to arrange a car to take Chang Xing and his party home.
"Master, would you like to come in and have a sip of tea before you leave?" Chang Xing greeted enthusiastically.
"No, Mr. Chang. The county leaders are still waiting for the car. Don't be polite. I have been to your Xianji Bridge many times. The road is in good repair. It won't take long to drive to the county seat." The driver said.
After accepting a carton of cigarettes that Chang Xing forced into his house and some candies he brought back from Xiangjiang, he happily returned to Luotian County.
As soon as he returned home, Chang Qing immediately rushed into the garden behind the house excitedly. At this time, the peach blossoms in Xianji Bridge had not yet bloomed, but the yard of Chang Xing's house was already full of spring. The orchard behind Chang Xing's house
Still maintaining its original appearance, the tree has become much taller than before, and its branches and leaves are denser.
It's just that at this time, the orchard should be full of various fruits, especially the citrus trees. It should be full of golden tangerines, but now not a single orange can be seen on the citrus trees. There are some scattered on the ground.
Dead branches and leaves. There are even many broken branches on the trees that are still hanging messily on the trees.
Chang Qing was very unhappy, so she ran out and took Chang Xing into the orchard: "Dad, our orchard was damaged by someone else!"
Chang Xing walked around the orchard and said nothing. This situation was both unexpected and expected.
The old Taoist also sighed: "Xianji Bridge has changed, it is not the same as before."
Chang Xing returned to the house and took a closer look at the house. He found that some furniture was missing. The recliner he had made for Lao Dao was no longer in its original position. The TV at home was missing. No need to think about it.
I know that some people in Xianji Bridge thought that their family would never come back, so they secretly moved their belongings back.
The old Taoist sighed, and Chang Xing's face became gloomy. These things are all small things, but some people in Xianji Bridge took things too far. Chang Xing thought that he had done enough for Xianji Bridge, but he didn't
I think these people are not satisfied yet.
"Chanxing, Changxing!" Zhang Dalei kept shouting loudly in the yard.
Chang Xing walked out, and Zhang Dalei was very excited when he saw Chang Xing.
"Chang Xing, you are back. If you don't come back, our Xianji Bridge will be in chaos." Zhang Dalei said.
Xiao Jinlin also ran over: "Senior brother, just come back. Zhou Fenglai and his gang actually decided to contract out the machinery factory, that is, to his son Guohua."
"Are you two useless? You have gone to Xiangjiang to study for so long, but you don't know how to contract, and you let Zhou Guohua do it?" Chang Xing said angrily.
"Zhou Fenglai is a bookkeeper. The accounts of all Xianjiqiao's properties are in his hands. Even Secretary Maolin can't do anything to him. How can we be his opponent?" Xiao Jinlin said helplessly.
"Go and tell Secretary Maolin. It's okay to contract out the machinery factory. But my machines have to be moved out. My machines are only lent to the village for use, but I don't want the village to contract them to someone to make a fortune," Chang Xing said.
.
"That's right. I said you paid for those machines, but you didn't say anything. Who dares to contract out those machines?" Xiao Jinlin said.
Zhou Maolin was old and walked at the end. When he saw Chang Xing, he also sighed and shook his head: "Chang Xing, I am old and useless. I can't control some things in the village. Your good intentions have been wasted."
"Uncle Maolin. When Jin Lin and others attended the study class in Xiangjiang, I told them that the machines I bought with money were lent to Xianji Bridge. If you want to rent them out, you have to rent them out.
Please pay me back the money I paid for the machine. Why don't you return the machine to me? I've been giving you these machines for free for so long, so I think I'm worthy of you all." Chang Xing said.
Zhou Fenglai became anxious: "Chang Xing, you can't do this. The machinery factory now relies on these machines. If you take these machines away, isn't this going to drain the bottom of the fire?"
"It seems that I haven't been in Xianji Bridge for a long time. Many people have forgotten what kind of person I am! Do you think I am easy to fool and treat me as a fool?" Chang Xing looked at Zhou Fenglai, making Zhou Fenglai very uncomfortable.
"Chang Xing, this is Xianji Bridge, not Xiangjiang. You caused us so much misery in Xiangjiang, and we haven't even settled the accounts with you yet! You don't even have a registered residence in Xianji Bridge now. It's okay if you don't demolish your house and drive it out.
You are so kind." Zhou Qingshan was finally released from the labor camp. The Zhou family spent a lot of money.
"Qingshan, if it weren't for me, you would still be kneeling on the ground like a dog begging for others all day long. I see that you are a fellow villager of Xianjiqiao, and I just let you come back and suffer a little, but you actually
I still don’t know good from evil. It seems that all my good intentions over the years have led to a group of white-eyed wolves. Qingshan, why don’t you honestly explain what you did in Xiangjiang?” Chang Xing said sharply.
Zhou Qingshan was shouting hysterically at Chang Xing just now, but as soon as Chang Xing finished speaking, he immediately knelt down on the ground like he did in the small world of the ancient temple, and told everything he had done.
Even Zhou Fenglai tried to stop it several times but failed.
After Zhou Qingshan returned to Xianji Bridge, he must have been talking about another version. That version must have been about how sorry Chang Xing was for him. He was made miserable by Chang Xing, and now that he told the original version, it really made Xian Ji
The people on the bridge were surprised.
After Zhou Qingshan explained everything, he knelt on the ground honestly.
Chang Xing looked at Zhou Fenglai again: "Accountant Zhou, please explain in detail what you did in the Xianjiqiao Brigade! Tell everyone clearly what you have done. Dalei, Jin Lin, you guys
The two of them will take a tape recorder and record it, and then copy down what he said and let Accountant Zhou plan to deposit it."
Zhou Fenglai walked to Zhou Qingshan and knelt down.
Zhou Fenglai's son Zhou Guohua panicked and wanted to rush to stop him: "Father, you must not be confused!"
Zhou Fenglai's mother-in-law, Xiao Qiumei, also became aggressive: "You are breaking the law! Setting up a private torture chamber! Fenglai, wake up quickly!"
"Shut up! You two can kneel down next to him even if you want to!" Chang Xing pointed. Xiao Qiumei and Zhou Guohua also knelt down next to Zhou Fenglai, one on the left and the other on the right.
"I'm not a human! I've embezzled a lot of money from the brigade over the years. Secretary Maolin doesn't know how to keep accounts. I often secretly change some data and put the free amount into my own pocket..." Zhou Fenglai told him these
The things they did to falsify accounts and embezzle the brigade's public funds last year were told in detail. For those who couldn't remember clearly, Zhou Guohua and Xiao Qiumei supplemented on the side. What they said was not only recorded, but also audio-recorded. Even if they
When I woke up, I couldn't deny it even if I wanted to.
Zhou Fenglai really embezzled a large amount of money, more than 100,000 yuan. In this era when households with 10,000 yuan were rare, 100,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum of money. Chang Xing was not merciless and directly gave away the family of three.
When we arrived at the county public security bureau, embezzlement of 100,000 yuan was considered a major case, enough to put Zhou Fenglai and his family in jail for many years.
