Chapter 164: A Nest of Snakes and Rats
At this time, at the gate, there were many pedestrians passing by on the street, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but stop and watch, and Sun Hong felt that his face was lost.
Recently, his reputation has been particularly bad, not to mention collecting cotton at a low price, quarreling with his cousin-in-law on the street in front of the people in the town, scuffling with his subordinate Master Sun, borrowing money from others and not paying it back, and recently he has become more and more at odds with the mayors and villagers of various villages.
In order to save face, he shouted again:
"Let me tell you, I'm here to monitor Tong Xiaowu, she opened so many workshops? So if you have money, why don't you give cotton farmers a clean slate? Today, I want to ask for accounts for cotton farmers and repay the money, Tong Xiaowu, you owe us so much money to the villagers of Baili Town, you pay me back. ”
"What do I owe you?"
Tong Xiaowu didn't want to be familiar with him, but she didn't want him to bite back, and she heard the loud noise in the inner courtyard.
"You don't owe me money, but you owe the villagers, you wait, I'll go to the villages and ask the villagers to ask for ......money," he said, turning around and wanting to leave.
"Sun Hong, aren't you here to find a job? How? I didn't agree, so I wanted to make trouble? I have an account with the cotton farmers at the end of the year, and every cotton farmer agrees, and the county magistrate also knows that there are still two or three months before the New Year, what do you want to do? Are you forcing me to ask the county magistrate to come and reason? ”
As soon as these words came out, Sun Hong's face turned pale, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and explained, "I, I'm thinking about everyone, and it's not easy for everyone!" I'm the mayor, what if you run away with money? I have the right to supervise, don't forget, the town's government is under my control......"
Sun Hong replied stubbornly and moved out the yabao directly under the yamen in each town.
"Yabao also has to listen to the county lord, right? I haven't broken the contract, if you talk about this every day, then we have to find someone to talk to! ”
"Tong Xiaowu, you will be afraid of you for me, just say it, go, find someone to go, let's go......" Sun Hong thought, anyway, he was fine, and it was good to mess with her.
Here, Sun Hong is shouting, on the street, more than a dozen women came over, they are Tong Manyue from Zhangjia Village, Zhangjia Village is more than 20 miles away from here, they took the carriage all the way to the town to talk and laugh and get off, before Tong Manyue's house, I heard Sun Hong howling here.
The people of Zhangjia Village have no good impression of this mayor, and if it weren't for Tong Xiaowu's help, their village would not be able to have its current life.
"Mayor Sun is really a good mayor, Mayor Sun is so good, the people from Zhangjia Village will come in a while, don't run, they are looking for you to harvest cotton!" A woman laughed when she heard this, and said, "Daqiang daughter-in-law, those people in Dazhi are behind us, right?" ”
The daughter-in-law who was called Daqiang nodded again and again: "Yes, these days, the people of the big branch are crazy in order to sell cotton, and Mayor Sun has disappeared after collecting the first stubble of cotton, and they are looking for him?" The second and third stubble cotton is the highlight, this Mayor Sun is such a big official, why can't he talk and not talk, they will come in a while, you have to entertain well, you think that you were on the same boat, can you pit your own people? ”
When Sun Hong heard this, his eyes widened in fright, and he didn't stiffen his mouth anymore, he didn't talk anymore, he turned around and ran quickly towards his own town, his legs and feet were called fast, who knew that he had just run a few steps, and he heard someone call his name.
"Mayor Sun Hong, where have you been all this time? We're waiting for you so much! ”
Sure enough, it was Zhang Jiande's relatives, the people who had helped him find trouble with Tong Xiaowu, and they were also on the front line, but now, he really couldn't control them.
These people have been to the town twice during this time, but they haven't blocked Sun Hong, today I saw Tong Manyue go back to the village, and found a few women to come to the town, and they also came with them, to see what they were going to do? Unexpectedly, following them, I actually saw Sun Hong.
At that time, he openly and secretly asked them not to sell the cotton to Tong Xiaowu, and now the cotton he recovered has become a mountain, but he, the main messenger behind it, is gone, so how can it be done?
"Mayor Sun......"
Several men saw his shadow and ran and rushed over, some blocking his way, others intercepting his return.
"Why is the mayor walking so fast? We're looking for you so hard, what's the matter? It's time to harvest the cotton in the village, right? The leader asked, his eyes full of hope.
"Don't take it, don't take it!" Sun Hong waved his hand impatiently, now he has a toothache when he mentions cotton, he has lost a lot of money because of this, and now they dare to let him collect cotton?
"Mayor Town, it's wrong for you to do this, at that time, we were against Tong Xiaowu for you, but we gave up the interests of nine cents and a pound of cotton, and followed you for six cents, what's the matter, after collecting the first stubble of cotton, it will be gone, aren't you harming us?"
"That's it, Mayor Sun, what are we going to do about this? According to the agreement, you have to go to our Zhangjia Village to buy our current cotton, right, we are all guilty of compensation, don't you still talk count? ”
The other people of the Zhang family also shouted, they haven't seen him appear for a long time these days, they can't find him, they went to his house and were scolded by his daughter-in-law, they were all going to die in a hurry, they finally saw someone, how could they let him go easily.
Besides, now most of their people are going to die in a hurry, at that time, because of Zhang Jiande's matter, they wanted to kill Tong Xiaowu, and now the cotton bags have been taken back home, Tong Xiaowu did not come to Zhangjia Village, but other families in Zhangjia Village spun threads for Tong Xiaowu, and they didn't worry about the mountains of cotton at all, and they also made money.
They inquired, a pound of cotton is nine cents, spinning thread is seven cents, inside and outside a pound of cotton, their other people earn sixteen cents, or cash settlement.
Look at them again, a pound of cotton costs six cents, and according to the spring contract, he lost three cents, not to mention, this Sun Hong turned out to be a man who didn't talk much, and he never came again after collecting the stubble.
Are they in a hurry now and almost have a hanging eye? If they knew that the fate of offending Tong Xiaowu would become like this, they should endure it, no matter how awesome Zhang Jiande's family is, it is also in the past, but they still have to live.
"Still going to harvest cotton? If I don't go, I'm going to die, I'm going to go, do you know how much money I lost? Dare to come here and shout, I tell you, it is impossible for me to harvest cotton again, you love to tell you, I Sun Hong is not afraid ......"
Sun Hong was so angry that he had a terrible toothache, so he pushed away the person in front of him who was blocking him, and walked towards the town with a step.
"I still don't believe it, I won't accept it, what can you do to me? It's really crazy, it's too bad to see the money, people don't accept it and force people to not collect it, how can there be such a truth in the world. ”
