Chapter 404 People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet!
It was noon in a blink of an eye.
After a morning of busy work, the school playground has been cleaned up by the construction team, and it looks a bit like a school.
After lunch, Yun Mo asked the construction team to collect the river sand, cement, and broken asbestos tiles at the school entrance and use them all to pave the playground.
Time is like quicksand between fingers, and it’s evening in a blink of an eye.
After finishing the work, Yun Mo went to You Wei and said, "Master You, could you please send two trucks of river sand, ten bags of cement, and 50 asbestos tiles tomorrow? Let's take advantage of the good weather to finish the walls and roof first."
Okay, the windows can wait until later.”
Listening to Yun Mo's plan, You Wei showed a bit of hesitation on his face, "Boss Boss, I've already inquired about it this morning."
Yun Mo pretended to be surprised, "Really? Then tell me, who did it?"
You Wei sighed, "It doesn't matter who did it, the key is why they did it, right?"
Yun Mo nodded dejectedly, "Yes, we didn't provoke them, so why are they trying to get in trouble with us?"
"It's a long story."
"Then keep your story short."
You Wei choked up and then told everything he knew about the situation.
It turned out that the township government deliberately leaked the news to nearby villagers, saying that Zhejiang businessmen were interested in the school land and planned to build a garment factory.
As long as the garment factory is built, it will provide hundreds of jobs to the village every year.
For people in Wanchuan Township, one job is equal to the livelihood of one family, and hundreds of jobs are the livelihood of hundreds of families.
Now, the Huang family's occupation of this land is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of hundreds of families. Naturally, the villagers do not like the Huang family and are trying every means to destroy it.
Mayor Lu really tried his best to drive them away.
Yun Mo was secretly sarcastic in her heart, but she pretended to be angry on her face.
"How can you blame us? We paid real money to rent this land, and we also agreed to help the village build roads. So will the Zhejiang businessmen also agree to help the village build roads?"
You Wei was stunned, "I've never heard of this."
Yun Mo continued: "Although our bamboo weaving factory is not large in scale, we are still willing to provide jobs for everyone, and we have also promised to invest 2,000 every year to hold elderly activities in the township. Isn't this enough?"
How did You Wei know this? He was silent for a while.
Yun Mo clenched her fists and said angrily: "Everyone respects me as much as I respect others! The more they use such despicable means to force me, the more I want to occupy this land, I want to see what they can do."
I dare to say that I can't rob it! If the worst happens, I will go to the municipal committee to petition. If the city doesn't care, I will go to the capital to petition! Even if I quit the bamboo weaving factory, I will seek justice for myself."
After hearing what Yun Mo said from You Wei's mouth, Director He didn't show any emotion on his face, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Once this matter breaks out, the Zhejiang businessmen will definitely not consider the school land again due to their shrewd self-interest. By then, they in Wanchuan Township may lose everything.
After separating from You Wei, Director He immediately went to the home of Mayor Lu.
Hearing that the Huang family not only had no intention of leaving, but were planning to fight to the end, Mayor Lu also felt a little worried.
Since you can’t eat the hard ones, you can only eat the soft ones.
The next day, Yun Mo had just had breakfast and was about to go to school to see if the building materials she asked for yesterday had been delivered. As soon as she went out, she saw Township Chief Lu walking towards this direction with his hands behind his back, followed by
Officer He and several village cadres have quite a lot of official authority.
It came faster than she expected.
Yun Mo sneered slightly, then put on a welcoming attitude, "Mr. Lu, what's the matter with you coming here so early in the morning?"
Mayor Lu already knew that Yun Mo was the one making the decisions regarding the Huang family, so he didn't dare to look down on her anymore.
"Miss Yun, I have something I want to discuss with you. Let's go into the room and talk."
"Okay, everyone, please sit inside."
Huang Kailin was cleaning the yard when he saw Yun Mo leading Township Chief Lu and several famous village cadres, and subconsciously stopped what he was doing.
Yun Mo said, "Grandpa, this is the head of Wanchuan Township, Lu."
After learning the identity of Mayor Lu, Huang Kailin became cautious and said, "Please sit down, everyone, and I will make tea for you."
"Well, I'm done."
Mayor Lu nodded to Huang Kailin in a stern manner.
When he learned that Mayor Lu was here, Huang Zhiqiu, who was cleaning up the stove in the kitchen, couldn't help but worry.
Huang Kailin explained: "Let's not think too much. If the soldiers come to block it, and the water comes and the soil submerges, we don't believe that they don't follow the king's laws."
Huang Zhiqiu washed the dishes as quickly as possible and took the tea prepared by Huang Kailin, "Dad, give it to me."
"Okay, go ahead."
In the main room, Township Chief Lu explained the reason for his visit as soon as he sat down, "Miss Yun, I heard that someone went to school yesterday to cause trouble for you. As the head of a township, I am very sad that this kind of thing happened in the place under my jurisdiction.
I'm ashamed. I brought people here today just to express our attitude."
Yun Mo sighed, "Who says it's not the case? We spent so much money to rent the land and promised to help build roads in the countryside. We didn't even get a word of favor and let it go. They secretly used these tricks to deal with us. It really makes us feel chilled.
"
Township Chief Lu immediately said: "Don't worry, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible and give you an explanation."
"Okay, we'll wait."
At this time, Huang Zhiqiu brought the brewed tea in and placed it in front of everyone one by one.
Mayor Lu changed his previous lukewarm attitude and chatted with Huang Zhiqiu with a smile.
"Sister Huang, I thought you were a capable woman before, but I didn't expect your daughter to be even more outstanding. She is able to stand alone at a young age. You mother and daughter are really a model of women who do not give in to others."
"Chief Lu is joking."
Huang Zhiqiu took advantage of the situation and sat next to Yun Mo.
Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu was lukewarm, Lu Xiangchang winked at Mr. He beside him.
Director He said knowingly, "Sister Huang, we are here today to talk to you about the school land."
Huang Zhiqiu said directly: "If you have anything to say, tell Momo, she is the one who makes the decision in the bamboo weaving factory."
Hearing this, Mayor Lu immediately complained to Yun Mo, "Miss Yun, I have nothing to do, otherwise I wouldn't come to your door again and again. The boss above has said that this piece of land must be taken away."
The land will be taken back and given to investors from Zhejiang Province to build garment factories.
There are nearly 400 households in Wanchuan Township, one-third of which are still poor households. Whether these 100-plus poor households can get out of poverty next year depends entirely on this land. I hope you can understand and support my work."
If she did not agree to return the land to the township government, wouldn't she be the culprit who delayed more than 100 poor households from getting out of poverty?
"Township Chief Lu, I can understand your determination to lead the villagers to get rich and get rid of poverty, but you must also understand the difficulties of people at the bottom like us to start a business.
In order to rent this land, we almost lost all our money and borrowed a large amount of foreign debt. Now the factory is about to be built and will be officially put into production after the New Year. If you ask us to move now, we can move there.
