Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 331 Everyone Wants to Pinch

"Brother, it's not that I won't help you, this matter has nothing to do with me, right?"

Qin Dashan sighed and said, "Look, this is not my car. It's an 80,000 yuan car. How can I persuade others to give up?"

"I know your family's financial situation, but can I say such words of persuasion? I can't."

That’s tens of thousands of dollars. Has any of them ever seen so much money?
How could he let someone go just by opening his mouth?

"We pay you back! I never said we wouldn't." Old Man Shi said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Dashan looked at him suspiciously, "You have 80,000 at home?"

"He's had that car for how long? Can it still be worth 80,000?" Old Man Shi's face twitched.

Indeed, after driving for two or three years, the price will not drop too much. After all, there are only a few types of sedans now, and the price will not drop that seriously.

Qin Dashan thought for a moment and said, "That should be around 50,000 or 60,000, right? Can your family afford that much money?"

Everyone knows Baozi, and everyone knows what conditions his family has. No matter how much money Shi Zhengying makes and how frugal his family is, it is difficult for them to raise even 10,000 yuan.

Old Man Shi stopped talking. Where would he get fifty or sixty thousand? Even if he was sold, he wouldn't be worth that much. Even if he smashed his bones, he wouldn't be able to squeeze out any more.

"Where can we get that kind of money? We can just pay him back slowly. The child is only in his twenties. We can't let him go to jail."

Old Man Shi sighed and said, "You said Zhengying's child is only a little over one year old, I can't just ignore him!"

Really, it’s all debt!
If he doesn't care, his granddaughter-in-law will run away, and what will happen to the child then?

Qin Dashan curled his lips and said, "I don't think he will agree. Let me call him out and you two can discuss it."

He didn't want to make the decision for others, so he let Qin Hao make it himself.

Old Man Shi agreed and followed him into the house. There were a bunch of people outside watching the fun. He felt so embarrassed that he had no face to stay any longer.

After entering the house, the first thing he saw was his grandson kneeling on the ground with a bruised face and nose, which made him feel heartbroken.

"Qin Hao, let me tell you..." Qin Dashan said a few words to Qin Hao, and anyway, he said everything that Old Man Shi said.

"You handle it yourself. Don't worry too much." He patted the other person's shoulder and led him out.

The only people left in the room were Old Man Shi, Shi Zhengying, and Qin Hao.

Old Man Shi looked at Qin Hao, who was not even as old as his grandson, and felt a little emotional for a moment. This person can't be compared with others, how come he is so amazing?
"Haozi, today's incident was caused by my failure to supervise my grandson. Can you forgive him? We will pay you back even if we sell everything we have."

"If we can't pay it back, my family will work and farm to pay it back. We will be able to pay it back sooner or later."

This was the first time he had been so servile to a junior at his age.

Shi Zhengying regretted seeing this. He cried and said, "Sir, don't beg him. The worst that can happen is that you will be put in jail for a few years!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Old Man Shi was angry!

How many years in prison? When he comes out, will he still see an old man like me?
For young people, a few years are easy to get through, but they live today but not tomorrow.

Qin Hao looked at him and said, "Master, everyone has their own responsibility. If he makes a mistake, he has to bear the consequences. You don't want to worry about him in the future, do you?"

"You can't afford to pay back the money, so let him go to jail for a few years for reformation. Just treat it as working away from home. You won't be starving when he comes back, and I can't let this matter go."

It was clear that he would not let it go, especially since this man had no remorse.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Shi could no longer stand, his whole body trembling, "Haozi, Uncle Haozi, I beg you, please let him go! I kneel down for you."

As he said this, the old man was about to kneel down.

Qin Hao grabbed him and didn't give him any chance. "Sir, please don't make things difficult for me. This is not a small matter. I really can't just let it go like this."

"You should go home and rest now. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. How much worry will you have if you continue to take care of them like this!"

He was really impatient. This was not a trivial matter. Wasn't it because he discovered it early? If it was any later, his family would probably have collapsed!

If you burn his car this time, won’t you burn his house next time? Or burn his wife and children?

When it really comes to that, it will be too late to regret.

While the two were arguing, the police came in.

"Public Security Comrade! I ordered the car, please arrest me!" When Old Man Shi saw that pleading was useless, he simply took the blame under someone else's name.

The two policemen looked at the tied-up Shi Zhengying, and then at the dying old man Shi.

"What's wrong with you?"

Before Old Man Shi could answer, Qin Dashan pulled him away and said, "Brother, just stop caring about this!"

"No, he's my grandson. How can you just ignore him? If you take him away, I'll hang myself in the village office tonight!" Old Man Shi was completely irrational now.

Anyway, he was so old, he just risked his life! He didn't believe that Qin Dashan really didn't care.

But no matter how harshly he spoke, the other party was not moved at all.

After the police learned what happened, they took them back to record their statements. The car was indeed destroyed.

When they were looking for witnesses, five or six people actually came and said that they saw Shi Zhengying running away from Qin Hao's house.

This was something Qin Hao had not expected. He did not expect that they would all go to testify.

It seems that if he becomes rich and contributes to the village, there will be many people who will speak up for him.

It is obvious that Shi Zhengying did it. Although he tried to make excuses, the witnesses are there and the gasoline bottle he threw was also found. It was bought in the town.

The next morning, Qin Hao returned home from town and gave each of the five witnesses a gift he brought back from Suicheng.

"Oh, Qin Hao, I'm so sorry. You're too polite."

“That’s right, this is what should be done.”

"That kid is so mean. We did the right thing, and you gave us gifts."

Hearing this, Qin Hao smiled and said, "You all have good intentions, but after all, we have spent a night in town. This is a specialty of Suicheng, so please don't despise it."

How could they dislike it? These are tea leaves and Chinese sausages, which are not high-end gifts for visiting relatives and friends?

After seeing off a few people, Li Meiling asked, "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"

She didn't sleep well all night. In the first half of the night, the people in Lao Shi's family cried and shouted, and in the second half, they started swearing.

Those people refused to enter the yard, and Qin Youxi had no choice but to let them curse him.

In the end, Qin De got to know the news and took people to drive them all away.

Qin Hao shook his head. "It's okay, but he has no money to pay. He will be in jail for five or six years."

In other words, he lost his property, otherwise Shi Zhengying would have to spend more than ten or eight years in prison.

Li Meiling sighed, "This guy is just like that. He has a good life but he has to make trouble. If he can't grow strawberries, he can't grow vegetables? His family earns several thousand yuan a year by growing vegetables. He is just not satisfied!"

Shi Chunsheng didn't give Shi Zhengying the strawberry seedlings because this man was not a decent person. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
Why didn't he think about the consequences of messing with Qin Hao's friends?

Qin Hao pulled her into the house and said, "Let's not worry about this anymore. Where's the girl?"

After a quick look around, I couldn't see where the person was.

"Go to the nursery class, and you can learn something in school. Mom will pick you up after school." Li Meiling said and went to cook. Qinjiabaozi has a primary school, after all, there are more than 200 households, but the teaching resources are not very good, which is the case in rural areas.

Daycare sounds nice, but it is actually just a place to pamper children. Most importantly, it is cheap, costing only a few dollars a semester.

It would be better if you can learn something, but if you can’t, there will be someone to look after your children.

Qin Hao didn't eat either, and went upstairs to take a nap. He couldn't stand not sleeping all night, but he was young and strong.

When he woke up, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and the smell of food wafted upstairs from downstairs.

I went downstairs and took a look. My mother-in-law and father-in-law were there, watching TV and chatting on the sofa.

"Mom and Dad, you're here." He came downstairs and greeted them.

Seeing that he was fine, Zhao Mei asked, "Are you okay? Old Shi just had a tantrum and even went to our house."

Their house is just opposite Qin Ershuan's, and the old man goes to work for one family after finishing his work for another.

He was carrying a bottle of gasoline and was going to the village gate to kill himself, so Qin Dashan took him away.

"This old man just can't get over it." Qin Hao said as he sat on the sofa, "Doesn't he know what his grandson is like? He's just relying on his age to make trouble. If Shi Zhengying stays in prison for a few years, not only will he save money, but he can also temper himself."

This is what they think, and they are definitely dissatisfied.

Zhao Mei curled her lips and said, "Come on, you're going to reason with a person like that? He'll have to listen to you."

"Yes, I think you are right. People like this will never think about things with normal thinking. After doing something like this, they can't be good people." Li Lin next to him echoed.

Qin Hao did not interrupt. He also understood that if this matter was not handled properly, there would definitely be bigger problems in the future.

Everyone wants to come over and pinch him, so how can he get away with it?

They had lunch together at noon, and after lunch Qin Hao went to check on the production situation at the garment factory.

I told Qin De about the expansion yesterday. We cleared the forest nearby for him to build three factory buildings.

It will be no problem to add 600 sewing machines at that time, and the remaining space will be used as a warehouse.

"How is it? Have you finished using the design drawings?" Qin Hao saw Qi Yingying was drawing, so he came over to take a look.

The painting is pretty good, much better than the previous rustic style, and now it has a combination of modern clothing.

"They're all used up. I took the initiative to use two of my design drawings. You can take a look at the samples I just designed. If they don't work, I can change them." Qi Yingying is still very confident in her designs.

I have studied and watched for so long, how can I not make progress?

Qin Hao walked over and took a look. The finished product was pretty good and almost the same as the design he had taken out.

"Okay, start production first and use these design drawings first." He handed over another ten drawings.

Because summer is coming, there are more skirts and no new pants. The tops are mainly based on fabrics and colors, and the style is not so important.

Qin Hao checked the situation at the factory again, then drove around and brought back a large amount of fabric.

The sewing machine took two runs to finish sewing. No one knew how to use it, except Qi Yingying, who had used it before and had a good opportunity to teach others how to use it.

An electric sewing machine can be used without electricity, but it just saves time and effort when powered.

"So much fabric will take at least half a year, right?" Li Meiling saw that the warehouse was full.

Qin Hao replied: "Half a year is about right. Once the new factory is built, it will only take three months to get this amount of fabric."

The demand for cloth will increase in the future, so he will have to use his connections.

Seeing her family's business growing bigger and bigger, Li Meiling was also happy, "Okay, this time we expand the scale and hire more people to avoid more accidents."

In fact, after Shi Zhengying's incident, no one in Qinjiabao wanted to offend Qin Hao.

It’s not that he’s afraid of being caught, but he’s afraid that his family will be implicated.

Now almost every household has someone working here, and even those who don’t work here have benefited from Qin Hao.

The road construction in the village was also invested by Qin Hao. It now is much more convenient for them and they don’t have to be unable to go out when it rains like in other villages.

It's not a red brick road, but a direct cement road that connects all the alleys.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Qin Hao hasn't thought it through yet.

He was busy for the next two days, so he called Master Xie to go to the town to get building materials in preparation for building a factory.

The villagers came without being called to help cut down trees and dig foundations. Not to mention paying them, they didn't even want to pay them a penny. Forty or fifty people came early in the morning.

Spring planting is coming soon, and there are people to help.

In addition to being busy building the factory, Qin Hao also has to go to Modern to process a batch of eggs.

There is nothing left in the warehouse except fabric. It seems that it has been out of stock for a long time.

Qin Hao simply put away all the fabrics, and then filled the entire garage with eggs and old hens.

The phone was filled with messages from Li Lan about fabrics, and Wang Jun asking him when he could come again.

I replied to each one, put some local pork in the refrigerator, and sent a message to Yang Guoqing.

Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Qin Hao didn't have time, so he simply said there was no signal in the mountains and they would talk next time.

After returning home, Qin Hao went to the village office again and asked someone to make an announcement using a loudspeaker.

They are hiring workers to build a factory, 5 yuan per person per day, daily payment. Technical workers are negotiated separately, and craftsmen are definitely more expensive.

This means that laborers earn five dollars a day, while bricklayers and carpenters earn more.

There is no way. There are not many people with skills nowadays, and people rely on this to make a living.

After Qin Dashan finished shouting, he asked, "The ginseng wine produced by our fort is very popular now. Do you have any ideas to make it more popular?"

In addition to the profits made by the investors, the winery will also invest a certain percentage of its income into village construction.

Things like repairing fences or building schools all cost money.

So Qin Dashan cares a lot about this winery. If he can make more money, the Qin family fort won't have to rely solely on Qin Hao in the future, right?

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "We can invest some money in advertising."

"For example, we could put up a big sign next to the national or county roads, or give some discounts to restaurants and snack shops so that they can sell our wine first."

"Or spend some money and be on TV!"

Qin Dashan directly refused the last one, "That won't work. How much does it cost?"

"The first two you mentioned are good. I'll discuss it with everyone then."

Now that the idea had come up, Qin Hao naturally didn't care how to do it.

"By the way, Old Man Shi is a dishonest guy. If he wants to cause trouble, just come to me directly." Qin Dashan did not forget to remind him.

Qin Hao knew that only Qin Dashan could subdue this old man, so he nodded in agreement.

If he gets angry, he might have to give the old man a couple of electric shocks.
