As the landlady was talking, a man walked in outside the door.
As soon as he entered the door, the man interrupted the landlady.
"Are you just talking nonsense? What else do you do besides talking all day long? Don't just talk nonsense all day long. You don't know how to clean up those two tables?"
The proprietress seemed to be used to this man's attitude towards her. She smiled, threw the few melon seeds left in her hand on the table, clapped her hands, stood up and walked towards the counter.
The man smiled at Cheng Yu and said, "Don't listen to that old woman who keeps talking about trains. That's not what she said at all."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I'm just going to listen to a story. The boss lady told it wonderfully, but I'm always a little doubtful. After all, the old man's head and legs were broken. How can this matter be revealed so easily?"
"Who says it's not!
It is true that the boy Lao Dapeng is not doing his job properly, and it is true that the girl he likes harasses him all day long, causing the girl to quit her job.
However, the police investigation revealed that her father's leg was not broken by Lao Dapeng at all.
It was the old man who saw Lao Dapeng coming to harass his daughter. In desperation, he took a kitchen knife and wanted to chop Lao Dapeng. As soon as Lao Dapeng ducked, the old man slipped and rolled down the stairs, breaking his leg.
And I don’t want the old man that the prodigal bitch talked about to be still in a wheelchair. He should have been cured long ago.
The old man is old and his bones are relatively brittle. In fact, he is not broken. The doctor said it is a fracture. Anyway, he has been wearing a plaster for two months.
It's not like I went out for a walk all day, I'm very energetic. For this reason, the Lao family even compensated others for some money. Although Lao Dapeng didn't break the leg, he still had the responsibility after all.
The Lao couple were very nice people. Not only did they lose money, they also helped the girl from that family go back to work in the food processing factory.
I used to be a small worker, but now I am sitting in an office and my salary is much higher.
The daughter-in-law of the Lao family said that if Lao Dapeng dares to harass the girl again, she will let the girl call her directly and tell her that she will definitely break Lao Dapeng's dog legs."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu still smiled slightly, nodded and said: "So that's it. I just want to say that this Lang Lang Qian Kun will not be so arrogant and domineering."
Inside the counter, the landlady curled her lips, but did not refute her husband's words.
Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't ask around, the man naturally walked towards the counter and then got into the kitchen.
Seeing this, the proprietress nuzzled at Cheng Yu again, pointed to the sky, and then shook her head with a look of disdain.
Cheng Yu understood that the landlady was saying that the men in her family did not want to cause trouble. After all, the Lao family was one of the richest families in this county-level city. Now that the police had given an explanation and the family had accepted their responsibility, there was naturally a difference outside.
statement.
As for the truth, Cheng Yu didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
Regarding this matter, the landlady and her husband said that the difference actually lies in how the old man's leg was fractured.
Since the man said that the old man could still go out for a walk at such an old age, Cheng Yu would rather believe that his leg was either really broken or the bone was cracked.
But whether he accidentally fell because he wanted to hit Lao Dapeng, or whether Lao Dapeng kicked him downstairs, only the person involved knows.
No matter what the truth is, the result remains the same. Cheng Yu doesn't have the chivalrous heart to help the old man seek justice.
The fact that this matter can be settled means that the old man's family has accepted financial compensation and compensation for providing his daughter with a better job. In other words, the old man's family still believes in the character of the Lao family.
There is no doubt that Lao Dapeng is not a good person. Regardless of whether he injured the old man or not, he is not a good person.
But his parents, Cheng Yu's aunt and uncle, should have a very good reputation in these villages.
Otherwise, even if they said they wanted the girl from that family to go back to work in the food processing factory, the old man and his family would not dare to go.
If the old man was really forced to admit that he fell down the building by coercion and inducement, how could the old man trust his daughter to go to work in that food processing factory again? He must be paid to shut up and try to see everyone from the Lao family on the road.
Just hide and get the job done.
This matter is actually quite easy to judge. The Lao couple made a guarantee to the old man and his family, so that they could accept the money and let their daughter go back to work with peace of mind.
It was like paying for the old man's leg injury in exchange for Lao Dapeng never harassing them from now on, and effectively improving the family's living standard.
From this point of view, Cheng Yu's aunt and uncle may really have nothing to do with Cheng Guangnian's affairs.
However, Cheng Guangnian's matter was of great importance. Whether it was for Cheng Guangnian or Cheng Yu's system mission itself, he could not make a final judgment just because of this matter.
After paying the money, Cheng Yu left the small restaurant. Although he was a little tired from the day's journey, he still planned to take a walk around.
After all, he would spend the next two days in this small town, just to get familiar with the environment.
After walking around, Cheng Yu found that there were relatively few young people in this small town. At least what Cheng Yu saw, more than 70% of them were elderly people and children under 18 years old. Generally speaking, the elderly and children accounted for
The proportion of urban residents should not exceed 50%.
This is a bit strange.
Passing by a small square, a group of old ladies led their children to dance in the square.
The old ladies were dancing happily, and the children were dancing along and seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Seeing an old man standing by the square, Cheng Yu strolled over.
"Hello, uncle."
Cheng Yu smiled and greeted the old man.
The old man glanced at him, looked him up and down, and asked, "A foreigner?"
Cheng Yu nodded, took out the cigarettes he bought before, opened the first one and gave it to the old man.
The old man was not polite. He took the cigarette and smelled it, but did not smoke. When he saw Cheng Yu lighting the fire and coming over, he waved his hand and then put the cigarette in his ear.
"Why do you think you, a young man, are doing this in a remote place like ours?"
Cheng Yu said: "I was bored alone, so I came out to relax. When I was in Harbin, someone told me that there was an interesting inn here, so I came over. But I arrived a little late today, and I was afraid that the road in the mountains would be difficult, so I came here.
I’m thinking of staying here for one day and then going there tomorrow morning.”
The old man nodded and said, "Dahonggou?"
Cheng Yu smiled and replied: "Yes, it is Dahonggou."
"It's just that there are some rare people there." The old man slowly shook his head, "But I really don't understand you young people in big cities. You think it's just a few big tile-roofed houses, and the whole is hot. In this weather
There’s no need for it yet. After we finish, we’ll get some domestic wild boar meat and make two silly roe deer, what’s the fun in that?”
Cheng Yu laughed, thinking that this old man was exactly what the landlady said.
"You have been living here since you were a child. You have eaten and seen these things in the past years. Of course they are not new.
But we have never seen such a life, and the pace of life in the city is fast. We are busy all day long, but we just want to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to breathe the fresh air of the mountains.
Whether there is wild boar or not, it doesn’t matter whether there are stupid roe deer or not.”
The old man thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's true, I'm just curious and trying to find something new. Let you city people tell me, what is it called? Isn't it a contrast?"
Cheng Yu laughed loudly and said, "Uncle, don't you live in the city now? What do you mean by us city dwellers?"
"That can't be compared." The old man waved his hand and said: "Our place is not a city, but it looks a bit like it. But if you say it is a city, it cannot be compared with your big cities. You are from the south.
Right?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
"The south is great. Some of our young people have gone to the south, and most of the rest have gone to provincial capitals. Young people can't stay in such a small place."
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I walked around and found it strange why the city is full of old people and children and not many young people."
"Those who are a little bit capable and have read some books have all gone to big cities. With us, we can earn a thousand yuan a month with hard work. Let's not talk about you in the south. Just those who go to provincial capitals
A young man who doesn’t earn a salary of three to four thousand. Comparing this, who would still want to stay here?”
"How can I say this about the score? In big cities, incomes are high, and consumption is also high. And you have to rent a house. Less than half of your monthly income is spent on renting a house. Of course, there are more opportunities in big cities, and it may become more and more popular in the future.
good."
"That's not bad, I like to hear what you say.
Big cities are better than big cities, but small places are more comfortable.
But it's no use, no matter what us old gangsters say, young people just can't stay here.
After making money, I took my parents over to play with them for a while.
Those who don't make any money, I see them all looking down upon them when they come back.
There’s actually no difference.”
Cheng Yu smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it himself.
Seeing this, the old man took the cigarette from his ear and motioned to Cheng Yu to light it for him too.
The old man and the young man took two puffs of cigarettes, and then the old man's chat box really opened up.
"The place you went to used to be a village.
It’s called Dahonggouzi Village.
The owner of Dahonggou Resort is named Lao Jinjin.
His family was originally a farmer in that village.
Later, I didn’t know why his family suddenly became rich. It was said that some of the people who used to go to the countryside in their village were favored by their family. After returning to the south, they made money, so they gave their family some money.
.
Then Lao Jinjin set up a food processing factory. He kept going back and forth, and the food was prosperous.
Seven or eight years ago, it was said that people from the south were coming again and I gave them a suggestion.
It happened that there were not many people in their village, and everyone who could move had moved away.
The village was empty. I heard that the man in the south was already a big boss and very rich.
They also invested money in their family, and as a result, their family negotiated with the township and contracted the village.
We didn't spend any money. Didn't this promise to build a road from our place to Dahonggouzi?
This road is said to be built for the government, but in fact it is not built for the family themselves?
After the repairs are completed, the village belongs to them, but won’t only people going to their resort take this road?”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly at this and thought to himself, it seems that after the eldest aunt and uncle became rich, the people here were more jealous than proud.
This seems a bit abnormal.
However, Cheng Yu didn't think that the old man in front of him was abnormal, nor did he think that the landlady was abnormal.
Cheng Yu believes that if a person becomes rich and powerful, except for people in your upstream and downstream supply chain, other people who have nothing to do with you will not say good things about you, and they may even vaguely wish you went bankrupt.
If you have such emotions, it is very likely that this person is rich and unkind.
But here lies the contradiction.
Judging from what I heard in the small restaurant before, Lao Jinjin and Cheng Yu's aunt should still be very respected in this land, at least most people would be willing to trust them.
Could it be that all this was caused by Lao Dapeng, a prodigal son?
But the question is, how old is Lao Dapeng? Among them, he studied in Wudong University for four years. No matter how much he harms his hometown, it won't make so many people's impression of the Lao family worse.
Judging from the situation of the injured old man, if Lao Dapeng really did many unethical things, I am afraid that Lao Jinchen and his wife would not let him go in the first place.
Therefore, Cheng Yu felt that the troubles Lao Dapeng could get into here were probably things that ordinary second-rate men could do. At best, he could bully others by relying on his family's wealth and power, and it should not reach the point of committing evil and lawlessness.
Cheng Yu smiled lightly and asked: "Uncle, it seems that you look down on that Lao family?"
The old man waved his hand and said: "That's not true. Lao Jinjin didn't recruit me or mess with me. It's just that I think that when a person is rich, it's not enough just to be rich yourself. You have to give back to the society. Of course.
, I don’t mean to ask them to donate money or anything, even if they donate some money, it is actually the wool coming from the sheep, and in the end they have to get it back from taxes and policies.”
Cheng Yu was slightly startled, thinking that he didn't expect that this old man really knew the ropes of charity.
"Then what do you think a person should do if he becomes rich?"
The old man took a puff of cigarette and said: "I dare not say that I want this person to benefit the village. At the very least, you must play a role model and lead the way, develop branch-chain industries, and guide everyone to become rich together."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Old man, this is the work of the government. You can't ask a small businessman to do this, right?"
"Lao Jinjin is no longer a small businessman. Let's put it this way, you see, he also opened a food factory before. That food processing factory is an enterprise in itself. Setting up an enterprise can create employment, right?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "That's right."
"As for food processing factories, this involves the cultivation of raw materials for food, right? How many people can earn reasonable wages through their labor?"
Cheng Yu nodded again and said: "Well, in a factory, in addition to the actual jobs that can be solved on the factory roster, there are also invisible jobs. Just like the people who farm raw materials you mentioned."
"Then the products in the factory need to be sold, right? How many small supermarkets and people who deliver goods can this support?"
Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly and said, "But if he builds a resort now, it should be able to solve many employment problems, right?"
The old man rolled his eyes, carefully took the last puff of the cigarette, then wiped out the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and wrapped the cigarette butt inside.
"Solve this shit!"
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and the old man continued: "His resort, including waiters and cooks, has a total of more than a dozen people. Who doesn't have a relative number 10 or 8? They have only dealt with their relatives. It takes up a village.
, Even if it were left alone in the past, that piece of land could support dozens of families, two to three hundred people. What about now? Just a dozen or so."
"Uncle, we can't settle accounts like this. Look, in addition to accommodation, that resort also has catering, right? Those ingredients, etc., after all..."
Cheng Yu was interrupted by the old man before he finished speaking.
"Quickly pull it off, just a resort like that, how much food can you eat in a year?
They raise pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish by themselves. They say it is self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. There are only three people in charge of this stall.
As for the food, how much money can we have?
All year round it is not enough to feed and drink two or three families.
Their family is quite good, that's all, and they leave it to relatives to do it.
Young man, you don’t know, let me tell you this, when Lao entered that resort, from top to bottom, he was able to find employment for about twenty people, all of which were taken care of by their relatives.
All that's left is to pay some taxes...but, do you know?
A food processing factory is an enterprise unit, and their current resort is an individual industrial and commercial household.
Their family makes a lot of money, but how many points of tax do individual industrial and commercial households pay?
Young man, you are from a big city, so you must know the difference between corporate tax payment and individual industrial and commercial household tax payment..."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, this was indeed a big difference.
The company's revenue basically comes from invoice transactions. This account is relatively clear. With Aunt Cheng Yu's revenue reaching a tax of more than 30%, there will definitely be no problem.
But for self-employed businesses, the clients of her resort are basically individuals, so not many need to issue invoices, and the turnover audit is not that accurate.
Even if the tax is paid in full, the value-added tax is only three points, which is much less than the corporate value-added tax. The personal tax that needs to be paid on the profit part is also lower than the corporate tax. Although the resort is relatively large, it is expected to be
The annual tax is only a dozen points.
If we play any more tricks on our turnover, we won't even be able to pay ten points of tax a year.
Although this is suspected of tax evasion, it is considered normal among individual industrial and commercial households.
