Chapter 704 Complain

Sun Guodong did not go home, but went straight to the brigade headquarters.

Sure enough, except for the old branch secretary, the village chief and accountant Qin Ming were all there.

Seeing Sun Guodong coming, Qin Ming bowed and greeted him, “You’re back. Is everything going well?”

“It went quite smoothly. We drove back three small trucks and two large Jiefang trucks. They are now at the vegetable market. Many villagers gathered around and they are all very happy.”

When he said this, he looked at the village chief who was puffing on his pipe.

Seeing that the village chief didn’t even look at him and just sat there smoking a cigarette, he couldn’t help but feel a little angry.

The village chief was a generation older than him, and he couldn’t get angry with him regardless of public or private matters. He turned his head and looked at Qin Ming standing beside him, his voice tinged with complaint.

“I think you feel at ease sitting here. After all, our village also has a share in the wholesale market. It’s such a big event over there, and the villagers all go to take a look. Even if you are just here to watch the excitement, you should at least show up there. Everyone knows that the wholesale market has been serving our Qinjia Village since its inception.”

Qin Ming suffered an unexpected disaster and secretly glanced at the village chief.

Seeing that the village chief didn’t respond, he said, “I want to watch the fun, too. If I were an ordinary villager, I would have gone to watch the fun a long time ago. When we bought the car, Manager Wang also came to us, but we didn’t have the money. Now that he has paid for it himself, we will go to watch the fun. Isn’t this letting others watch our own fun?”

“What’s so exciting about us?” Sun Guodong got even angrier after hearing this. “I think you’re overthinking it. I’m afraid they’re eager to set up their own fleet. Has Mr. Lin ever lost money doing something? He’s talking to me, which means he thinks highly of me…”

With a few “ta-ta-ta” sounds, the village chief knocked his pipe off the sole of his shoe.

“Okay, both of you stop talking. I know you two are blaming me.”

Qin Ming smiled awkwardly, “Neither…nor…”

Sun Guodong was a straightforward person, and he said directly, “Village head, I really don’t understand this. The first beneficiaries of the vegetable wholesale market’s fleet are the people of Qinjia Village. Why don’t you agree to such a good thing? Don’t say that the village has no money. I know that the village has developed a lot of side businesses in recent years and invested a lot of money, but if you tighten your belt, you can always come up with something, right? What’s more, when Manager Wang came here, he said it was in the name of the wholesale market, not that the village had to pay for all the money. Xia Yang also has half of the wholesale market. Even if the village can’t come up with more money, according to General Manager Lin’s personality, he won’t just leave us alone and go it alone, right?”

Qin Ming kept nodding beside him.

He is the nephew of the village chief. The village chief arranged for him to be an accountant because of his family background. Therefore, he unconditionally supports the village chief in decision-making.

If it weren’t for this, he would have asked this question a long time ago.

He is the village accountant, and no one knows the village’s income and expenditure better than him.

Just as Sun Guodong said, there is not much money in the village account, but he and Xia Yang can still raise enough money to set up a fleet of cars.

The village chief silently filled the pipe with more tobacco.

He put the pipe in his mouth, struck a match, smacked the corners of his mouth a few times, and lit the pipe. Then he held the pipe in one hand and spoke in a low voice.

“Guodong, you went to pick up the cars today, you should know how much those cars cost, right?” “I know.” It was because he knew that Sun Guodong was indignant.

As he said, the villagers can afford the money if they tighten their belts.

The village chief asked Qin Ming again, “How many tens of thousands of dollars is the money you mentioned for tightening your belt?”

Qin Ming moved his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

The village chief snorted, “What’s the matter? The village has developed well in the past few years, so you are all so proud of yourself? Do you think tens of thousands of yuan are not money? Go to other villages and see if they have 1000 yuan in their accounts? Can they have hundreds of yuan? Our village has developed to this point, but you are still not satisfied?”

Sun Guodong felt that the village chief was trying to change the concept. “I am not ungrateful. The establishment of the fleet is originally for the benefit of the villagers of Qinjia Village…”

“There are many things that we have done for the benefit of our fellow villagers. As village cadres, we really need to consider the interests of our fellow villagers at all times. This is the only way to live up to their trust.”

The village chief took two puffs of his pipe, raised his head and met Sun Guodong’s eyes.

It was clearly written in his eyes that if he was thinking about his fellow villagers, why did he refuse to set up a motorcade?

He sighed again, “I know you young people are ambitious, and you are just jealous of the Qin family making money…”

“I didn’t…” Sun Guodong and Qin Ming retorted in unison.

The village chief waved his hand and said, “I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. I can see this clearly. Don’t rush to refute me. Just listen to what I have to say.

You have seen that Qin Yang’s wife is very ambitious. She started out as a steamed bun seller, then opened a steamed bun shop, a food factory, a chicken farm, and a vegetable market. I heard that she also has a shopping mall and a clothing factory in the city. Is there anything she doesn’t want to do?”

Sun Guodong frowned and listened patiently to what the village chief said.

But I kept arguing in my heart: They do so many things, which shows that they are capable. Others want to do it, but can they do it?
They do so many things without any ambiguity. When they bring you together to build a fleet, it is not to ask you to add money, but to give you the opportunity to make money.

Would Qinjia Village be what it is today without General Lin?
The village chief continued, “If she can set up a fleet today, what will she do with the village tomorrow? Why should the village follow her? I am the village chief. I am responsible for more than 1000 people in Qinjia Village. Our Qinjia Village has developed to the present, and there are tens of thousands of yuan of income on the books every year. In the entire Ancheng County, it is the number one.

I know you guys are not convinced by what I said, so let me tell you something else. After Qin Jiang quit his job as the director of the village chicken farm, you all know what he did, right?”

Not only them, but everyone in the village knows this.

Qin Jiang used to be the director of a chicken farm in the village. During the autumn harvest this year, he suddenly resigned from his job and opened a chicken farm with his brother-in-law.

The villagers have all kinds of opinions about this matter.

“If he quits his job today, others can do the same tomorrow. They can ignore the village’s industries and the thousands of villagers in Qinjia Village, but I can’t. The money in the account is the guarantee for our entire village. I can’t let the good life that the villagers have just had disappear in the blink of an eye.”

“How come it’s gone?” Sun Guodong said disapprovingly, “Establishing a fleet will make it easier to transport vegetables from our village, and it will also make money. You don’t trust Wang Cheng, but you can trust Lin Chuxia?”
