Chapter Seventy-Six: Ugly
"My brother, someone in the team went to the village chief to complain, saying that I was abusing my power for personal gain and helping my relatives reduce their debts. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sure enough, what Zhou Qimin said was exactly what Zhou Qijia imagined.
"Ah, what should I do then?Do I have to return the food I borrowed from the team?" If their family's debts cannot be forgiven, they are not eligible to borrow food from the team. If these hundreds of catties of food are returned to the team, will her family starve to death?
"The village chief talked to me today and said that he wanted me to step down from my position as a team leader and reflect at home for a while. Zhou Qimin drooped his head, looking very lost.
Zhou Hongming's words were very difficult to hear, and Zhou Qimin didn't know how to talk to Zhou Qi's family.
The village head, Zhou Hongming, asked Zhou Qimin to be called to the brigade headquarters early in the morning, saying that there was something wrong.
As soon as Zhou Qimin entered the door, Zhou Hongming straightened his face.
Zhou Hongming asked Zhou Qimin why he didn't make a report to the village first to forgive the debts of the Qiu Xiang family? As the leader of the team, the interests of everyone should be considered, not the interests of any family.
Zhou Qimin just wanted to defend Qiu Xiang a few words, but Zhou Hongming stopped him, and then said that because of Qiu Xiang's family, their first team took the lead in breaking the rules, and now, several families in the third and fourth teams are in trouble. Those families all owed food and money to the team, and when the grain was distributed at the end of the year, they had to pay off the debt, so they scraped together to borrow from relatives to pay it off.
In this year, everyone is poor, and the poorer the family, the more glorious it is. However, no matter how poor a family is, they have to eat food in their mouths, right? Thinking that their family had gone through hardships to borrow money to pay off the debts of the team, but the debts of Qiuxiang's family could be forgiven, the villagers were suddenly unhappy.
Several mothers-in-law ran to the village chief's house, clamoring to get back the food and money they had returned to the team. It doesn't make sense that everyone is from Zhoujia Village, Qiuxiang's family doesn't have to repay their debts, they have to pay back?
There are five families, and the debts of each family are similar to those of Qiuxiang's family. If all the food and money in the village are exempted, who will repay the food and money in the team in the future? If the village does not repay the loan, even if the village has more grain reserves, it will not be enough?
was criticized by Zhou Hongming, and Zhou Qimin wilted.
Thinking about it, this matter was Zhou Qimin's own rush. When distributing the grain, Zhou Qimin used the difficulties of Qiu Xiang's family to impress the team members, and he didn't think of letting the village chief be the master.
It's that he didn't do a good job, he is the captain of the first squad, and he is cousins with Zhou Qijia, and before making any decisions, he should think about avoiding suspicion. Before distributing the grain, he, the team leader, should report the difficulties of Qiuxiang's family to the village chief, as long as the village chief approves it, the other villagers can't say anything strange.
In the end, Zhou Hongming also criticized Zhou Qimin and asked him if he fell in love with Qiu Xiang, so he worked so hard to help their family?
Zhou Qimin was suddenly furious. The previous criticism, Zhou Qimin can accept it, Zhou Hongming's last sentence, but he regarded him as a "color embryo" who coveted the autumn fragrance.
If it weren't for the old village chief's face, Zhou Qimin would have wanted to punch Zhou Hongming in the face at that time. Zhou Hongming, this guy, before he became the village head, his eyes were not honest, he always stared at the beautiful little daughter-in-law in the village, if it wasn't for the "tigress" in the house, what might have happened?
To help Qiu Xiang's family get rid of debts, Zhou Qimin has selfish intentions in it. He just couldn't bear to watch his cousin, who was once healthy and strong, go to a dead end one day because of the lack of food at home.
Zhou Qijia had just been injured the year before last, and after waking up, he knew that he was paralyzed, so he wanted to die immediately, so as not to drag down the family. It was Zhou Qimin who persuaded him: There must be hope in life, maybe one day, Zhou Qijia's illness can be cured?
It's only been two years, and Zhou Qi's family, which was originally well-off, has been dragged down by the four walls. Many people in the village thought that Qiu Xiang would marry another, after all, Qiu Xiang was still young, and she had been guarding a paralyzed person who couldn't go to the ground all her life, and women with smart brains were unwilling.
Qiu Xiang is a tendon character, in the past two years, no matter how her mother's family forces and begs, Qiu Xiang has always guarded Zhou Qi's family and never gave up. If Qiu Xiang hadn't fallen out with her mother's family because of forced marriage, she wouldn't have had nowhere to borrow money to pay off her debts.
Qiu Xiang's benevolence and righteousness made Zhou Qimin look at it a few times. It stands to reason that Zhou Qi's family is like this, even if Qiu Xiang remarries, others can't say anything about her. After all, Qiu Xiang gave birth to several children for the Zhou family and passed them on for the Zhou family.
It was because of the pity in his heart that Zhou Qimin discussed with Zhou Zhigang to reduce the debts of the Qiu Xiang family. At that time, Zhou Qimin himself didn't know that he was on guard against Zhou Hongming in his heart.
Zhou Hongming has changed a lot after becoming the village head, a few years ago, Zhou Hongming relied on himself to be the son of the village chief, and he peeked at the beautiful girl. Zhou Qimin was afraid that Zhou Hongming would embarrass Qiu Xiang with debts. After all, Zhou Hongming is not a kind-hearted person.
He Zhou Qimin thinks that he is not a chivalrous hero, but his sympathy for Qiu Xiang is true, and he really does not have other messy thoughts. At this point, he Zhou Qimin can swear to God.
"Brother Qimin, I'm sorry, because I have affected you because of my family's affairs. Zhou Qijia stood up half of his body and reluctantly saluted Zhou Qimin. Indeed, in the past two years, Zhou Qimin has helped a lot. His Zhou family is not a person who doesn't know what to do.
Because of his family's affairs, his brothers were affected. It's that he can't stop it.
"His family, don't talk about this, the two of us grew up together, these are what I should do. Zhou Qimin felt very embarrassed. A few years ago, when Zhou Qi's family was in a good situation, he didn't help him less. Zhou Qimin's position as team leader was recommended by Zhou Qi's family with some team members.
At the beginning, the old village chief wanted Zhou Qijia to be the team leader, but Zhou Qijia said that he was young and not as steady as his cousin Zhou Qimin.
It was precisely because of Zhou Qijia's strong recommendation that Zhou Qimin became the captain of the first squad. Zhou Qimin always kept these feelings in his heart.
"Brother Qimin, if the village really doesn't agree, I will ask Qiu Xiang to return the grain tomorrow. Zhou Qijia's words were very difficult, but he still spoke out. Because of his family's affairs, his brother was punished, and Zhou Qi's family couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Daddy, kid!" Akika exclaimed. What will happen to the family?
"Autumn fragrance. Zhou Qijia looked at his wife with guilty eyes. In the past two years, Qiu Xiang has been a lot haggard, and when he married Qiu Xiang, he planned to let Qiu Xiang live a good life. It's a pity that he has become like this, he is not good, and he has dragged down a large family.
