Fortunately, at the end of the year, used cars are still relatively easy to sell.

Qi Lei's car was sold cheaply on the same day, selling for 30,000 yuan.

Before the 30,000 yuan reached Qi Lei's hands, it was divided among the three leaders. Chen Daogang didn't get a penny, and he kept protecting Qi Lei to prevent the workers from losing control of their emotions and beating Qi Lei.

The three leaders discussed it, and sold all the equipment on the Qi Lei construction site as scrap iron, and sold it for more than 10,000 yuan.

Some of the equipment, which is still owned by Jian'an, was also sold by the workers.

Qi Lei begged bitterly, and Chen Daogang repeatedly persuaded him, but he couldn't stop the angry workers.

There was really nothing to sell, so the workers escorted Qi Lei back to his hometown.

Qi Lei is like an enemy element who has fallen into the vast sea of the people's war, all thoughts are lost, and his face is loveless.

On the afternoon of the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Zhenhua's family was asking Uncle Xiang to kill the New Year's pig.

Everyone was busy in the backyard, talking and laughing, and it was lively.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the house, and there was a loud sound of footsteps, and a large crowd rushed in, like devils entering the village.

Zhenhua was taken aback, and hurriedly ran from the backyard to the hall to check.

"Zhao Zhenhua, this kid Qi Lei deceived us, you have to give the salary you guarantee!"

The workers escorted Qi Lei into the house and besieged Zhenhua.

Chen Daogang followed last, dejected.

"What do you mean, what's going on!?" Zhenhua was covered in a cold sweat.

Qi Lei raised his head and looked at Zhenhua with a wry smile: "Zhenhua, I planted ......"

The workers were gossiping, shouting about Qi Lei's affairs, and chasing Zhenhua for money.

Zhao Chenghai and Yilan both came from the backyard.

After knowing that Qi Lei was bankrupt, Zhao Chenghai sat on the ground and couldn't say a word.

Zhenhua also looked at Qi Lei, speechless for a long time, eager to kick Qi Lei to death!

The workers surrounded Zhenhua and said: "Zhenhua, you say a word, what should we do with the money you guarantee? Werelet has no money to give now, you have to be responsible!"

Zhuo Yilan took a step forward and frowned: "If you have something to say, don't make noise during the New Year." ”

A worker pointed at Yilan and said, "We are talking to your man, and it has nothing to do with you." The money guaranteed by Zhenhua, he will give it to us! The woman's words don't count, go to the side!"

Yilan straightened her face and sneered: "Why don't I talk and don't count? The money in the family is in my hands, I don't nod, you can't get a penny, if you don't believe it, try it!"

The workers looked at each other and stopped talking.

Yilan snorted and said, "Don't think that men are great, women are also people, and I also have an ID card! Isn't it money? ”

Zhenhua sighed, looked at Qi Lei and the workers, and said, "Calculate it, I'm not bad at it." ”

Zhao Chenghai also stood up from the ground and said with a straight face: "Settle the account! The money guaranteed by Zhenhua will not be less than a penny, my three-year-old child, everything he says counts!"

The workers were overjoyed, and felt that their attitude had been too radical just now, so they took out cigarettes to apologize.

However, Zhenhua only guarantees a small group of workers.

The workers who did not get the guarantee were depressed one by one, and they regretted it in their hearts.

"Zhenhua, I'm bothering you again. Qi Lei bowed to Zhenhua, took out the account book, and prepared to settle the account.

"Qi Lei, you are affecting our whole family this time!" Zhao Chenghai looked at him angrily, eager to bite Qi Lei to death.

"I'm sorry uncle, as long as I don't die, I will definitely pay this back. Qi Lei bowed to Zhao Chenghai again.

The accounts are clear.

Zhenhua guaranteed the wages of 13 workers in total, with a total amount of more than 70,000 yuan, and 42,000 yuan after deducting the usual advances of these workers.

The number is too large, and the six gods of Zhenhua have no owner, and they are silent.

Zhao Chenghai stood up and waved his hand: "I'll give you this money, not a penny." Zhenhua's guarantee, all stay, and other unrelated people, let's go. ”

The thirteen workers stayed, and the other workers escorted Qi Lei to the group.

Zhao Chenghai sighed, looked at his wife Cuihong and daughter-in-law Yilan, and said, "How much money is still in the family, take it all out." ”

Yilan and Cuihong each opened the box and took out more than 7,000 yuan.

When the workers saw the money, their eyes were hot, and they were eager to grab it.

Zhao Chenghai looked at Zhenhua and said, "Zhenhua will give me some more money! Isn't it such a big deal to kill people to pay off debts and pay off debts? Look at your bear, Lao Tzu is not dead, the sky is falling, Lao Tzu is on top of it! Give them the money first, and then settle the rest in three days!"

Zhenhua was grateful, stepped forward, and said, "Fellow villagers, the money in my hand will be paid to you at the rate of one-sixth first." For the rest, give me three days. ”

The workers nodded their heads: "Okay, okay, we believe in Zhenhua, and I believe in your whole family, three days and five days." ”

The 7,000 yuan was divided, and the workers went home.

Zhenhua bowed to his father: "Dad, I dragged the whole family down this time......"

"Don't worry, Qi Lei still has 20,000 yuan in my hand, let's give another 22,000, and it'll be fine. Zhao Chenghai sighed.

The funeral expenses of the poet Chen Guangming of 20,000 yuan, Qi Lei put it here with Zhenhua's father.

"But where did the twenty-two come from? I just gave seven thousand, and there is still a difference of fifteen thousand. Zhenhua asked.

Zhao Chenghai thought about it, told his wife to go back to her parents' house to borrow money, and asked his daughter-in-law to borrow money from Zhuo Daying, and then asked Zhenhua to borrow money from his sister Chunlan.

The loan shark placed outside, Zhao Chenghai also tried his best to collect.

There are still ten pigs at home, and they were originally planned to be slaughtered after the year, but now they can only be dealt with by Wang Xiang.

Zhenhua borrowed 2,000 yuan from the third master and 2,000 yuan from Deng Weixuan.

The whole family mobilized and tried all means, and finally scraped together more than 20,000 yuan to cope with most of the salary guaranteed by Zhenhua.

There are more than 10,000 yuan left, and the average is only 1,000 yuan per person, Zhenhua promised everyone that he would give it after the year. Because of the loan shark released by my father, there is still 10,000 yuan, and I can't get it back in a hurry.

When the workers saw the attitude of Zhenhua's family, they were very relieved, and in turn relieved Zhenhua, they could return it at any time. Anyway, there is not much money left, and I am not afraid of Zhenhua defaulting on the debt.

After sending away the creditor, Zhao Chenghai said to his son: "I'm old, and you're almost thirty years old, so you can call the shots in this family in the future." Remember, you have to be a backbone, but you must also do what you can, and don't give people a guarantee casually. Suffer a loss, grow wise, do things in the future, weigh it yourself, I can't follow you for a lifetime. ”

"Daddy......" Zhenhua felt uncomfortable, blamed himself and felt guilty, and couldn't say a word.

Lao Zhao sighed, turned around and walked to the backyard.

Zhenhua looked at his father's back, and suddenly found that his father was really old, his spine was no longer straight, and his walking posture was a little trembling......
