13. Many have no conscience
"Qiu Shuo, Qiu Ge, I'm here to thank you, if it weren't for you, my dad might be gone. "Liu Gang is older than the eldest brother, so Qiu Ge and they have always called him eldest brother, and they are all neighbors.
"Oh, big brother, what are you talking about, how many years have we been together, not to mention our parents, we grew up together. The eldest brother said.
"Alas, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, especially like my current conditions, there are no relatives to walk around, and no one asks about the poor and noisy city. ”
"Big brother, don't be pessimistic, it will get better slowly, if you have any difficulties, we can help you. Qiu Shuo said politely, the two of them used to stay together for a long time, but in the past two years, Liu Gang went to work, and he was a little unfamiliar.
"Actually, alas, Qiu Shuo, I really have something to ask for, the first is about the medical expenses you paid for my father, I don't have the money to pay you back immediately, but I will pay it back as soon as possible. Liu Gang said unnaturally.
"It's okay, big brother, I don't need it urgently for the time being, you can pay it back after a while. The money to pay for the treatment was Qiu Ge's, so he said generously.
"That's really thank you; I have one more thing to ask for; I have to rush back to work tomorrow; the job is hard to find, the salary is not low, but the management is very strict, you can't take leave for a long time, otherwise people will be replaced; our family's current situation will be even worse if I don't make money; and the factory is still withholding my salary for three months, and it will be difficult to ask for it if I leave." ”
"Do you want us to help take care of the elderly?" Qiu Shuo asked suspiciously.
"Yes, my dad has woken up, there should be sequelae, but my mom can take care of his daily life, but I'm afraid of something my mom can't handle, so I want to ask your brother to help take care of it; I really can't help it. Liu Gang said and lowered his head.
"Where's your sister-in-law, can't she come back?" asked Qiu Ge.
"We're leaving. Liu Gang said in a low voice.
"Ah, you divorced your sister-in-law, why?" Qiu Shuo asked in surprise.
"Well, it's hard to put into words; our child is in high school, and she needs tutoring, which is very expensive; I can't get it, so she complains about me, and we quarrel; and finally she files for divorce, and then marries a retired old man. Liu Gang cried as he spoke.
"Big brother, I don't have to ask, don't be too sad, just leave such a woman. Qiu Shuo didn't know how to persuade him.
"Alas, she can't be blamed, at least now the child's tuition is not worried. ”
"Big brother, we can only help when we need it, it may not be timely, in case something happens......"
"Qiu Shuo, I'm here to ask for your help, how can I make you responsible?"
"Then there is something to ask the eldest lady to come to us. Qiu Shuo agreed out of embarrassment.
"Then I thank you in advance, in fact, I know that it is wrong for me to walk like this, but my dad needs medicine every day, and he really can't sustain himself without money. Liu Gang was in pain, and his colleagues were helpless.
Qiu Ge also felt that he was pressed against the stone in his heart, but he couldn't stop Liu Gang, he wanted to take some money out to help Liu Gang, but it was easier to hurt people's self-esteem, and at the same time, it couldn't let the family get out of the predicament completely.
After Liu Gang left, going to his house several times a day became a compulsory course for the Qiu Ge brothers, and their family's work was also taken care of by the brothers; only when they went to the garden to pick vegetables, they had to call Zhang Qiufang, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, or other villagers, so as to prove that they did not withhold the money for Liu Gang's vegetables.
Not only did they not deduct it, Qiu Ge also removed the shipping fee from the sales price of the provincial city to settle the bill for their family, so that their family's food money was a lot more and they could solve their daily expenses.
Aunt Liu also realized that the money was not right, so she asked Qiu Ge what was going on, and Qiu Ge said more about the output of his vegetables, and the old man didn't count it in person anyway.
But Zhang Qiufang knew in her heart that she was very moved, and felt that Qiu Ge was really a good person, so she went back and told Li Weiguo about it.
"Let's also help hide it first, and then tell him when Liu Gang comes back, it's up to him how to thank Qiu Shuo and Qiu Ge; Li Weiguo was also very moved in his heart, so he said.
"I know, I'm already helping, I've helped wash all the clothes that Aunt Liu's house wants to wash. Zhang Qiufang said.
"My daughter-in-law has improved, and her consciousness is higher than mine. ”
"I was driven by the two brothers Qiu Ge, as the wife of the highest leader in the village, how can I not do something?"
"Hehe, that's right, we can't lag behind, in addition, Qiu Ge's work is really good, and it has increased the income of our village, I want to talk about this to the leaders of the township, and it is best to reward it." ”
"I don't think Qiu Ge is the kind of person who wants to be rewarded, you see that even if people help everyone, they are still very low-key and polite to everyone; ”
"It's not just that I learned it outside, it's good to be tutored, don't you see the boss Qiushuo like that?"
"Well, that's right, this good guy is out of the family. Zhang Qiufang praised.
The two of them were talking, but the person they praised called and asked them to uphold justice.
"What are you talking about? Ma Jianjun is back to make trouble?" Hearing Qiu Ge say that Ma Jianjun was harvesting vegetables, Li Weiguo said angrily.
"Yes, several families have already been taken away; eldest brother, you are the village head, when I signed the contract with the growers in the village, you also know that now they have sold the vegetables they grow to Ma Jianjun privately, which is a breach of the contract, and you have to take responsibility. Qiu Ge said.
"I know about this, Qiu Ge, I'll go over and find those unruly villagers right away. Li Weiguo was very angry.
After hanging up the phone, Li Weiguo went to Ma Jianjun's house; sure enough, many villagers lined up here with small carts pushing vegetables, but Ma Jianjun didn't know where to get a three-wheeled agricultural vehicle and was collecting vegetables and loading them on.
Seeing that Li Weiguo was coming, many villagers greeted him, and he nodded, but his face was not very good.
"Everyone, wait a minute, let me ask you why you came here to sell vegetables, why don't you go to Qiu Ge?"
"Village chief, the price given by Ma Jianjun is high, nine cents a catty, and three cents more expensive than Qiu Ge's side. Villager Zhao Baoyou said.
"Jiumao, the price of this vegetable has risen so much?" Li Weiguo asked, he felt that this was strange, now is the time for a large number of vegetables to be on the market, even Qiu Ge has dropped a dime, why is it so expensive for Ma Jianjun to collect vegetables?
"We don't know this, we know who is selling to whom at a higher price?"
"Ma Jianjun gave you cash?"
"That's not true, he also sold the vegetables and came back to give money, just like Qiu Ge. ”
"You believe him like this? What if he doesn't give you money? You all know what kind of person Ma Jianjun is. ”
"Village chief, he won't run away with this little food money, right? Besides, if he runs away, he won't have his family, and the monk can't run away from the temple, and if Ma Jianjun runs away, we will ask his father and old Matou for money." Wang Miao said that he had also come here to sell vegetables.
Wang Miao's father also had sequelae of cerebral thrombosis, so he didn't go to work, and he only married his daughter-in-law not long ago, and he also fell in love with his family.
"Then you're not afraid that Qiu Ge will sue you? Li Weiguo reminded everyone.
"When he signs a contract, he lowers the price? He is too black-hearted, right? Even if he fights a lawsuit, he can't win the lawsuit. ”
"But the current price of vegetables is five or six cents? Qiu Ge is doing things according to the market price, and people are right. Li Weiguo emphasized.
"You believe him when he says five or six cents? That man Ma Jianjun collects vegetables for nine cents, can't he also make money? I said that Qiu Ge is too black-hearted, and the high price of selling is in his pocket. ”
"Wang Miao, you should also talk about your conscience, you can grow vegetables but Qiu Ge helps, and the vegetable seedlings are still provided by Qiu Ge, right? Li Weiguo said angrily.
"We have forgotten our roots and have no conscience? If he Du Qiuge had a conscience to set the price so low? A typical profiteer; we sold vegetables to him in the early stage, and he had already earned back his investment, so we can't let him be harmed. ”
"You have no conscience when you say this, how can people cheat you? No one can you earn money selling vegetables? Have you inquired about the market? You have concluded that people Qiu Ge blacked your money?"
"Village chief, how much benefit does Qiu Ge give you? You run here to work for him? Who we are willing to sell to, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't care. Wang Miao was also angry.
"You calf, dare to talk nonsense? Which eye do you have to see that Dao Qiu Ge gave me money?" Li Weiguo is a village official, and he is also an official, and he is most afraid of being told that he has received money from others.
At this time, Ma Jianjun, who was collecting vegetables in front, also found out about what was going on here, so he came over.
"Village chief, you helped Qiu Ge with the confiscation of money, who believes it?"
"Ma Jianjun, you are even more of a calf, can you do some personnel? "Li Weiguo is the village head, and he is also very prestigious and influential in this village, so he is not used to Ma Jianjun.
"I lack virtue? He Du Qiuge does not lack virtue? He got me into the bureau and stayed for a few days, and then my daughter-in-law asked them to seduce me and divorce me; if I don't harm them to death, I can't get out of this breath." ”
"Why are you farting, your daughter-in-law divorced you, who doesn't know that it's because you don't do your job? Don't put shit on people's heads; you went to the public security bureau to do it yourself; tell you, if you don't do good deeds, retribution is still to come." ”
"Li Weiguo, how can you say that? Why are you, the village chief, biased? What kind of special cadre?" Ma Jianjun's father also came over, and when he heard Li Weiguo say this, the old man was annoyed.
"What kind of cadre I am naturally has a public opinion, and what kind of person you are will also have a public opinion, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, there is no good thing. After Li Weiguo finished speaking, he turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he turned to the vegetable seller and said, "You have figured it out for yourself, and you can do it if you are worthy of your conscience; ”
After speaking, Li Weiguo left in a huff.
When many villagers heard this, they took their own dishes to Qiu Ge's house, but they also felt that it was not good to do so, and some people did not trust Ma Jianjun.
However, there are still more than 30 households that have sold vegetables to Ma Jianjun; Ma Jianjun has also collected a cart of vegetables, more than 1,000 catties; now that the output of vegetables has also risen in the peak season, Qiu Ge and the others have become a small transport vehicle to transport vegetables to the provincial capital.
People thought that this turmoil had passed, who knew that Wang Miao's daughter-in-law happened to come back from her parents' house, and when she met Wang Miao selling vegetables to Ma Jianjun, his daughter-in-law stopped him on the spot, just because the two of them were still fighting.
