"I met him at a café and then he took me around the school and I believed it. ”

"If you can find a school, it's okay, I'll take you to the county seat to report the case directly, I can't help you if you don't have any extra help." Ma Struggle nodded, and he had some bottom in his heart.

"It's useless, I asked, and that person wasn't from that school at all. Zhang Yijian was in a very bad mood, that person was recommended by his patriarch, and the organization that carried his youth brought him into the abyss, and now the family can no longer take out a hundred yuan Grandpa Mao is a downfall he never thought of.

Looking at Ma Zhan's inquiring eyes, he said the truth of the matter again, but the further he said, the more he couldn't hold it on his face, and finally he felt stupid.

That's the way it is, Ma Zhan looked at Zhang Yijian like an idiot. After thinking about it for a long time, I replaced Zhang Yijian with myself, but the result was the same.

With such a transposition, Ma Zhan understood the so-called routine of the city people.

"Uncle Zhang, how much money have you been cheated in total?"

"With the addition of the first three thousand, there are more than 13,000 in total. Struggle, do you think the money can be recovered? ”

Ma Zhan shook his head and explained, "Uncle Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you. You can probably think of some of the situation, as long as he is willing to hide, he basically can't find anyone, and the people from other places are all boasting that our county police department is willing to help and I don't know when it will go. ”

As he spoke, he took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and moved it to Zhang Maosheng, adding: "This thousand yuan is a personal loan I will lend to you, and I will return it to me when I have spare time." The village has recently organized a few long-term work, if you are willing to come, I will leave you two places, the money is not much, forty yuan a day will be very tiring. ”

Zhang Maosheng is reluctant to collect money, Ma is not reluctant to struggle, and people will not starve to death if they have no money in the countryside.

"I will find a way as soon as possible if there are no tenants in your hotel, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, so Uncle Zhang also has to understand me. Ma struggled to be businesslike, softly reassuring.

At the end, he looked at Zhang Yijian and said, "Zhang Dandan, don't think about some crooked thoughts, the tuition fee of 13,000 is not cheap." ”

Watching the Zhang family father and son leave, Ma Zhan also realized another problem, this kind of fraud is almost unsolvable for them, as long as you still have a trace of self-motivation, it is difficult to stay sober.

Feeling scared, he hurriedly took out the contract he had signed some time recently, read it carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding no principled problems.

Ma Zhan believes that he is optimistic, but he is an optimistic pessimist in his bones. It's like at this moment, when he knows about such a case, he will hurry to check his family property, whether there is also a trap that makes him awe-inspired.

If his small behavior is seen by Sister Liu, he will say the words "Are you so tired?"; if Zhang Shiyu sees it, the words are estimated to deviate from Sister Liu, but he can't escape the fate of being complained about.

He is such a person, such a peasant, facing the grand cause in his heart, every step is difficult, and in the face of certain things, he knows that there is no turning back.

After a long time, he took out the phone and sent it to Wei Changdong, and asked a little apologetically how to deal with this kind of thing to the Zhang family.

He didn't dare to make this call in front of the Zhang family, for fear that some content that should not be seen in the light and could only be buried in his stomach would die far away from his mouth, at least it must be like this for him.

The cross-provincial matter is more complicated than he imagined, Wei Changdong's words are very direct, in a small county like theirs, not to mention the county magistrate personally calling, even the mayor may not be able to get a satisfactory result.

Moreover, the amount is average, almost a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, and no one will care.

After a few polite words, he hung up the phone, and didn't mention anything like trouble to help check it out. The answer is already obvious, even if Wei Changdong is willing to help, he is powerful and has nowhere to go.

This kind of simple truth is like the tragic result of an old man going to the county seat to look for money, and he can only wait forever, and then get rid of it with a word, he has seen too many such things.

……

The news of the Zhang family's deception soon spread throughout the village, and Zhang Yijian's mother Liu Jinfeng's crying appearance was so ugly that it was difficult for the people in the village to think about it.

Ma Zhan, who heard the news, still withdrew 1,000 yuan through Mr. Lin, in front of him as a condolence to the Zhang family for being deceived. Thirteen thousand yuan is not much, but it is a lot of money for the people of Honghai Village, and a shrewd person can raise two very good buffaloes.

In order to prevent some accidents, Ma Zhan received the old village chief Ma Guicai, and he came forward to deliver the thousand yuan.

"You're not going?" asked the old man, confused.

"I lent them money before, so I'd better not go, just in front of me I don't know if you go, Uncle Zhang's character is still trustworthy. Ma Struggle, who was bored and smoking a cigarette, said softly.

The old man put his hands behind his back, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Ma Struggle. After thinking about it for a long time, he left silently.

In the evening, Ma Fenfeng closed the door of the office and walked to the back mountain.

Today is the second day of watermelon harvesting, and the early-ripening four acres of watermelons have ripened. Butcher Liu was busy collecting watermelons with his daughter-in-law who had dried vines, and prepared to send them to the county seat to sell after making a truck, trying to sell them while trying to see if he could find a watermelon seller.

"Brother Liu, smoke a cigarette, how many did you collect today?"

Butcher Liu wiped his sweat, skillfully lit a cigarette, and said happily: "There are a hundred, I have inquired that there are few people who grow watermelons this year, just like your godfather's year, you can make a fortune." ”

"Heh, that's a good feeling, a good start. By the way, Brother Liu, tomorrow you and your sister-in-law will drive my tricycle to sell it first, and see if we can find a wholesaler. ”

"Cheng ...... Struggle, you said that the wholesaler asks the price, how can you give it. Butcher Liu nodded in response, thought for a moment and asked.

"Look at how much they sell, and wholesale will be a few cents cheaper. Brother Liu doesn't have this experience, it's the same thing as you selling piglets. Ma Zhan chuckled and waved his hand, he really didn't know what kind of price watermelon was.

"That's it, I'll watch it be sold. It's mainly a partnership, we have to breathe, aren't ......"

"Brother Liu, you just spread your arms and do it......"

After two cigarettes, Ma Zhan drove the refueled tricycle to the nearest place to the back mountain and began to help carry watermelons. A melon is about twelve or three catties, which happens to be the best selling size.

After finishing the work, Ma Zhan handed the key to Butcher Liu, just told him to keep the account and walked back.

He wasn't worried that Butcher Liu was playing carefully with money, after all, there was already a clear guess about the approximate catty taels, and the follow-up investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars was not something that could be easily defeated by a few cents of profits in front of him.
