1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 35 You Name a Price

The choy sum, loofah, bitter melon, cowpea, and green beans, every vegetable looks very good.

Especially the Chinese cabbage and loofah, which are rare delicacies.

But the total amount was too much. Chen Jiazhi estimated that it was about 380 or 390 kilograms.

There are many categories.

A bicycle certainly can't pull it.

In two days, there will be water spinach, and the fully grown water spinach will have a high yield, not the half-baked stuff like Qi Yongfeng's.

Chen Jiazhi's No. 1 and No. 2 fields have a total of nearly 0.8 acres of water spinach. He estimates that he can harvest at least 3000 kilograms in a single crop.

And it will be collected within a few days.

If you sell everything yourself at the wholesale market, transportation will be a big problem, but if you find a middleman, there will be at least a 30% price difference.

Not to mention vans, just having a tricycle can solve many problems.

Unfortunately not.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Come and have a drink. If you don't come, I'll finish all the clams."

Yi Dinggan was already drinking beer at the table, and a plate of Sichuan-style spicy stir-fried clams was emitting a rich aroma.

Chen Jiafang and Li Xiu were still cooking other dishes.

"I'm thinking about how to get the food over there." Chen Jiazhi also sat down and took a sip of the beer on the table.

Yi Dinggan: "Everyone will help you bring some tonight."

Chen Jiazhi picked up a clam with meat on it. The meat was tender, spicy and fragrant, and it was very satisfying to eat.

"Brother Yi, do you know how much food I need in the next few days? Ao Dehai not only doesn't have a car, he can't even ride one. There's no way we can go to the market together."

I was thinking, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just have you bring some food for a few days, and when you have enough money, I'll buy a tricycle right away."

Yi Dinggan: "This batch of vegetables has been sold out. I don't think there will be that many vegetables later."

Chen Jiazhi: "I still need to rent land. I'll go to the company and ask them myself someday. By the time you go, the flowers will be cold."

Yi Dinggan: "In all conscience..."

"What's the point of yelling at me? If you have the guts, go get angry at that bastard Zhou Shijun!
Liu Minghua, you have no idea what I've been through!"

"What did Zhou Shijun do to you? Tell me!

Yi Dinggan and Chen Jiazhi immediately quieted down, their faces burning with gossip.

After leaving during the day, they only had vague ideas about what happened next.

Jia Suzhen was fine and did not commit suicide.

But what did they hear now? Zhou Shijun? What was his relationship with Zhou Shijun?
Not only them, Chen Jiafang and Li Xiu also came in from the back door with dishes, but they were also listening to the noise next door.

"So what if I said that? Do you dare to get angry at Zhou Shijun?"

"Say!"

"Jia Suzhen, please stop spitting blood at me. What the hell did I do to you? Why did you end up in Qi Yongfeng's bed? It's none of my business!"

"Say!"

Liu Minghua's roar became louder and louder, as if he had been suppressed to the extreme and was about to break free from a ferocious beast.

But Jia Suzhen didn't seem to realize it, "I told you, do you dare to break up with Zhou Shijun? I was the one who rushed to the front to stop Chen Jiazhi!
Do you dare to make trouble with Zhou Shijun?

If we make trouble, he will kick us out today. Do you still want to sleep in the train station or on the street?"

"I told you to say it!"

"Okay, I said, Zhou Shijun forced us to take the money, not because he wanted you to collect the vegetables early, but because he wanted to sleep with me. He has blocked me several times and even touched me."

"Fuck you, Jia Suzhen, when did I ever do anything to you? I touched your butt!

Get out! If you don’t pay, get out today! "

Chen Jiazhi and Yi Dinggan looked at each other, but after Zhou Shijun cursed a few words, a woman's frightened voice came from next door.

"Liu Minghua, what are you doing with a knife?!"

"What kind of evil is this? Someone, someone is hacking and killing people, help!"

"Shijun, run!"

"Why is he running? He's such a coward, he wouldn't dare to run even if he had ten times the courage...ah!" Chen Jiazhi and Yi Dinggan felt that something bad was going to happen when they heard the screams, so they quickly got up and went to the door.

Zhou Shijun had already run out, his body covered in blood, but fortunately he only had a minor skin scratch, but Liu Minghua was chasing him with a knife.

Zhou Shijun was so scared that he ran back to the vegetable field.

Liu Minghua continued to chase.

In the moonlight of the night, everyone could see the two men running around the entire vegetable market. Zhou Shijun was the first to run back to the dam, "Stop him!"

They were holding knives in their hands, so who the hell dared to stop them? No one called the police, and when the two men got tired of running, they naturally stopped.

really,

After a while, both of them stood in the dam, panting.

Old Zhou, who lived in the same room with the two men, temporarily persuaded Liu Minghua to put down the knife, and then the others came forward to persuade him.

For example, if you hack someone, you will go to jail, and there are elderly people and children in your hometown.

Chen Jiazhi and Yi Dinggan did not move.

They even went back into the house and took a bottle of beer, drinking while watching the show.

Seeing that Liu Minghua was no longer a threat, Zhou Shijun started shouting again: "Did I sleep with her? I didn't!"

"I took the initiative to go to another room and throw myself into the arms of others. I don't know how many people have come to ride on me. What's wrong with me touching you? Only you, Liu Minghua, treat me like a treasure!"

Hearing this, Liu Minghua became excited again and wanted to go forward and chop people, and Jia Suzhen also wanted to go forward and scratch people.

Uncle Liu said, "Forget it, Minghua, Shijun and Suzhen shouldn't be a big deal. We're all watching. So, let's just write off the meal expenses from the past few days and let this matter go. What do you think?"

Others echoed.

"What Lao Liu said makes sense."

"There's no point in continuing to make a fuss."

"Let's each take a step back."

The audience thought that this was the end of the matter, but Zhou Shijun shouted, "The meal expenses can be written off, but there's still rent to pay. If he doesn't pay the bill today, get out and sleep on the street!"

Others wanted to persuade him, but Zhou Shijun said, "I've been very kind. 100 yuan is enough for two people's food expenses for half a month, isn't it too much? I'll just treat this 100 yuan as feeding the dog.

As for the stab wound, I admit my mistake and won't call the police, but I must pay the rent!"

"They didn't pay their share of rent last month, and a few days later this month, the three families split the rent, and I only charged them 30 yuan!"

"If you don't give me the 30 yuan today, I'll kick them out myself!"

Not to mention 30, even 3 yuan is something that the two of them can't afford.

Li Xiu grabbed Chen Jiazhi's hand in a daze. This scene was so similar to what happened a month ago.

At that time, they were forced to pay back the money in public.

Chen Jiazhi held her hand and said softly, "It's all over."

No one was willing to help Liu Minghua.

Even if Chen Jiazhi didn't have this idea, he was stared at by Chen Jiafang and Yi Dinggan.

Jia Suzhen had a blank expression on her face. For her, there was nothing more embarrassing than being caught in the act during the day.

Everyone looked at Liu Minghua.

This man was honest, weak and timid, but the moment he picked up the knife today, many people changed their views of him.

Even after putting down the knife, Liu Minghua did not lose his momentum.

When Zhou Shijun forced Liu Minghua to give money, he just looked at him coldly.

This look made Zhou Shijun very uneasy. He snorted coldly: "You can't come up with the money, right? If you can't, then get out of here right away. Don't force me to do it myself!"

Liu Minghua looked at the villagers around him for a while, and they all avoided looking at him, obviously unwilling to pay.

Chen Jiazhi did not avoid looking away and watched the show leisurely, but he did not expect Liu Minghua to walk straight towards him.

"Don't you want to rent the land?"

"I'll transfer mine to you: land, bicycle, tools, everything. Just name your price!"
