Li Wen and Li Wudu went to the tea garden to help and was not at home, at the suggestion of Li Tianfu, Yu Xiumei stayed, and only Qin Ruhai, Li Ergen, Li Tianfu, Xu Qing and Li Xiaoli were guests at Zhang Cunshun's house.

Zhang Cunshun walked over from afar and asked with a smile: "Just a few of you are here, what about the others?"

Li Ergen smiled and said: "People are afraid that you will not be able to arrange it, and these are enough." ”

Zhang Cunshun sighed and complained: "I have prepared meals for more than ten people, Yaxin...... Hurry up and invite someone else on my behalf, why are you still meeting me like this!"

Xu Qing hurriedly stopped Zhang Yaxin and said to Zhang Cunshun: "Don't bother, don't stand still, you're almost so hungry!" After speaking, Zhang Yaxin walked into the house first.

Zhang Cunshun laughed a few times before inviting Li Ergen and the others to follow.

Li Xiaoli helped Zhang Yaxin pour tea and serve dishes for everyone, and Qin Ruhai helped Zhou Fang in the kitchen.

Zhang Cunshun sat aside and persuaded him to eat and drink, looking very warm and polite.

After a while, Li Ergen asked Zhang Cunshun: "Cunshun, how do you think Haiwa and Yaxin's relationship is appropriate?"

Zhang Cunshun said with a smile: "I have chosen the day, it is the sixth day of the first month of next month, and I will not go to the restaurant at my house, and then the relatives of both sides will be notified in place, and this happy event will be done in a beautiful manner, and according to the old rules of the village, all the people who are willing to pay tribute will be called, and there will be more people!"

Li Ergen thought for a while and said: "You see if this will work, just go to the Kangxin Tea Garden, it is too troublesome to hold a banquet at home, there is a lot of waste, and it is messy, and there is a special waiter to go to the tea garden, which is spacious and convenient." ”

Zhang Cunshun was waiting for him, although he was also the major shareholder in the tea garden, but it was not easy to disclose it to the villagers, so he didn't dare to take the initiative, "Hehe, this is okay, I will pay for the cost, and then I will trouble the eldest brother and the Tianfu brothers to assist Zhang Luo." ”

Li Ergen and Li Tianfu agreed with a smile.

Zhang Cunshun said again: "It's just that this bride price is ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ergen picked up and said, "Hehe...... It's easy to say, you name a number, and I'll give it to you then. ”

Zhang Cunshun smacked his lips, looking a little hesitant.

Li Ergen saw his thoughts, and said: "This is the old rule, you just report the number, we will take it a day in advance, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." ”

Zhang Cunshun slowly stood up and said: "I only have one child, Yaxin, and I also promised Haiwa that she can come over without being in trouble, now that Zhou Fang and I are both old, she is not in good health, and I have no village cadre remuneration, and I have to point to the bride price money for the rest of the days, I am afraid to make you laugh if I say too much, but I am afraid that there will be no settlement in the future if I say less, you say the number first, I think it will be settled." ”

Li Tianfu and Xu Qing understood what he meant, but they didn't make a sound for the time being.

Li Ergen also began to suppress his anger, and asked with a smiling face: "You have the final say on this, we will give as much as you want, Haiwa is my godson, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to marry Yaxin for him, just say it!"

Zhang Cunshun hesitated for a while, and suddenly slowly stretched out a finger, waiting for them to guess.

Li Ergen smiled and said: "100,000 is also less, so let's do it, 300,000, don't shirk, Yaxin is a good girl, our Haiwa likes it, and we also like it very much, although the bride price in the village is about 100,000 yuan, but I am willing to give 300,000, just for you to make concessions on the issue of profit." ”

Who knows, Zhang Cunshun shook his head and didn't speak.

Li Ergen was a little surprised, feeling that his finger was not 100,000 but 1 million, and hurriedly asked: "Cunshun, you mean 1 million, this is too outrageous, right? Other people's families are about 100,000, the most is only 150,000 or 60,000, the less is only 60,000 or 70,000, and you want 1 million, this is obviously selling your daughter to blackmail us, no, 300,000 can't be more than a point." ”

Li Tianfu couldn't help but start to ridicule: "Don't say that our Phoenix Village doesn't have such a high bride price, even the whole town and the whole county don't have this statement, 300,000 is enough, we can afford to give 1 million, but I'm afraid that the people in the village will laugh, and we will calculate it according to 300,000." ”

Zhang Cunshun looked at Xu Qing, but did not speak.

Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "One million is one million, we are not short of this money, as long as people are not afraid of the jokes of the villagers, what are we afraid of? Don't be stiff, the price is one million, and it will be Haiwa and Yaxin who will be injured if they continue to make trouble, why bother?"

Who knows, Zhang Cunshun suddenly shook his head and said: " Hehe, you all misunderstood, I mean 10,000, there is no such bad conscience, 100,000 is the rule of the village, but in my place as long as 10,000, not a single more, not a less, a full 10,000, I know that you are not short of money, not to mention that one million is 10 million can be taken, but I will never do the sale of my daughter, let alone make that conscience money, although some villagers began to secretly report my embezzlement of the original assets of the tea garden, it is the time of lack of money to make trouble, but I will never use this matter to embarrass everyone. ”

Li Ergen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked nervously: "Wait, you said that someone reported you for embezzling the assets of the tea garden, why haven't we heard about this?"

Zhang Cunshun sighed and said: "Those circumstances are true, before we raised funds to build a tea garden, basically spent all the shares on the purchase of building materials, construction and decoration of houses, at that time in order to repay Jin Dawei's arrears, had to sell the entire tea garden at a low price, thinking that this matter would be confused in the past, who knows that now someone re-mentions this matter, alas, you may also know that I invested five million in the name of Haiwa to Kangxin, it is estimated that I will take it out to do some disposal." But I don't want to use this to raise the price of the bride price, I just hope that after Yaxin gets married, you can treat her well, and Zhou Fang and I will lend a helping hand when we need help, so that we can be satisfied and rest assured. ”

Li Ergen also stood up and said: "Cunshun, why didn't you say it earlier? We don't know about this, have you calculated the accounts, how much assets are occupied and how much is the discount, if the five million is not enough to repay, we will settle this matter together." ”

Zhang Cunshun hurriedly pulled him to sit down and said, " Hehe, thank you brother for your concern, I have calculated the detailed accounts, adding up to four million or a little, but they are also eyeing the part of the dividends before the acquisition, and there are less than two million, and the two add up to nearly six million, but the money can't be all given to them, including a part of my investment and dividends, five million withdrawn from Kangxin, that's all, it's divided, I don't care if it's more or less, Li Quan and Li Zhi have to tell you to explain, I only have so much in my hands, and I can't help it. ”

Li Ergen was taken aback, and asked with doubts: "Why do you still owe them so much money? How many shares did you buy in the preparation for the construction of the tea garden at that time, and it stands to reason that you should have divided a lot, so why do you have to compensate as much as six million?"

Zhang Cunshun slowly took out a piece of paper from his shirt pocket, which was full of numbers and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division symbols. "This is the account I calculated, which is very clear, including the shareholding situation at that time, the monthly operating income, the amount of withdrawal later, etc., all have been calculated in detail, you can take a look!"

Li Ergen took it over and looked at Li Tianfu Xu Qing.

After a while, Li Ergen said: "Cunshun, what are you doing? I lost a lot of money of 9 million before, and I withdrew more than 2 million yuan of shares, and now I have to compensate 6 million, not to mention how the business situation is, the sum of these money alone is 20 million, and you have invested more than 2.5 million yuan, which is more than half of all the shares, and it stands to reason that you should have a share of more than 3 million of these 6 million, and it is enough to lose more than 2 million yuan. ”

Zhang Cunshun bowed his head and was silent for a while before saying: "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but now they not only ask for the discount of fixed assets and residual dividends, but also the occupation fee of these funds, which was not equipped with financial accounting at that time, so it will become so complicated." I'm a dead pig now and I'm not afraid of boiling water, only these five million, more or less, I don't care so much. ”

Li Tianfu and Xu Qing kept looking at the piece of paper and didn't speak.

In view of Zhang Yaxin's relationship, Li Ergen began to worry about Zhang Cunshun's recent situation, "Who reported you, why don't we know?"

Zhang Cunshun sighed and said: "It's an anonymous letter, the county Commission for Discipline Inspection has talked to me a few times, but I haven't dared to tell anyone, just listen to these situations, I've already let it go, only the five million, and I can't do anything if it doesn't work." ”

"Then how can it work? You wait for me to go find Haiwa, he is familiar with Secretary Qing, and may be able to help you speak. ”

Zhang Cunshun hurriedly got up and stopped him and said: "Big brother, you don't care about this matter, I admit it, and it also said that as long as I return these payments, it will have no impact on me, and if you let Haiwa go over now, it will only affect him, and the more you help, the more you help." Forget it, I'll take care of the trouble I caused, so don't interfere. ”

Li Ergen sat down in his place again, sighed and said, "Alas, then if you lose that money, there will be nothing, how will you live in the future?"

"We are all old, we don't spend much, with Yaxin's 10,000 dowry money, we can also cope with it for a while, and besides, I have discussed with Zhou Fang, borrow some money from her mother's family to rent a shop in the town to sell some groceries, and also earn some living expenses, it's okay, everything will be fine during this time." ”

When Li Ergen heard this, he stood up again and said: "No, how can you live such a cold and narrow life? Although Haiwa doesn't make much money, it's no problem to support the two of you, so I will make a decision for him, and when they settle down on the family affairs, I will take you over, and everyone can take care of them together, Zhou Fang's sister has a bad heart, and she is still taking medicine, so I can't see you suffering like this." ”

Zhang Cunshun said with tears in his eyes: "Don't bother Haiwa first, let's talk about it after this matter is over, besides, Zhou Fang and I have hands and feet not to the point of starvation and cold, you don't have to worry about this matter, we have already discussed it, and it is useless for anyone to persuade us." ”

Li Ergen saw that Zhang Cunshun was persuaded not to move, and looked at Li Tianfu and Xu Qing again, but they seemed to be unmoved, always gloomy and lowered their heads, and didn't say anything.
