The train driver in the courtyard

"Jia Zhang has insulted comrades who are members of the commune. Naturally, it is up to the commune members to decide how to compensate."

After hearing the handling opinions given by Li Aiguo, the onlookers praised Li Aiguo for his magnanimity.

"Jia Zhang deliberately framed Li Aiguo, but Li Aiguo gave up the claim. This kid is really of noble character."

Jia Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

A bunch of poor people, just give them three to five cents and they can be sent away.

Li Aiguo is such a fool!

She hurriedly jumped up from the ground, not even bothering to pat the dust on her clothes, and ran to Village Chief Wei.

"Old comrade, it's not easy for you at such an old age. I'll give you five cents today. You can buy a pancake outside later and take it back to let your children taste the delicacies of the capital."

Village Chief Lao Wei scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Five cents is indeed a lot. Logically speaking, I should be content. It's just that you are not insulting me alone, but the whole village, and the entire Weizhuang Commune." Member."

Jia Zhang felt something was wrong and asked timidly: "How many people are there in your commune?"

"Not many, just over two thousand people." Village Chief Wei said.

"There are more than 2,000 people, so that's 200 yuan!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang's expression suddenly changed, she pointed at Village Chief Wei's nose and said, "Blackmail, you are trying to blackmail me!"

She looked at Wang Zhenshan and shouted: "Wang Gong'an, this old guy wants to blackmail me, please arrest him quickly."

Jia Zhang still can't figure it out clearly.

Wang Zhenshan said with a straight face: "Jia Zhang, I just made a condition, you don't have to agree."

Jia Zhang was very happy.

Wang Zhenshan continued: "However, people can also hold you accountable for slandering the communeization of Weizhuang. Think about it yourself."

Only now did Jia Zhang understand.

He shivered all over.

Damn Li Aiguo, this must be a trap set by him!

Yi Zhonghai also figured it out at this time and let out a long sigh: "Sister-in-law, the matter has become obvious. Either you lose money or you enter the fence. There is no second way."

"Should I pay for it? This matter is not my responsibility alone. If I have to pay for it, you also have to pay for it!"

Jia Zhang rolled his eyes and decided to drag Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong into the water.

"Let me tell you the truth, our family really can't afford so much money now. Do you think you can tolerate me for a while? Can I go out and make do with others?"

"We are going back to the commune soon. I'll give you twenty minutes."

Village Chief Wei also knew that two hundred yuan was an astronomical figure, so he did not push for it.

Jia Zhang pulled Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong into the house.

After closing the door.

Her face was gloomy: "You two, I want two hundred yuan, you can get the money."

Yi Zhonghai had long understood that he had been cheated this time and was ready to pay.

But Liu Haizhong couldn't sit still, patted his thigh, and widened his eyes: "Why, I haven't done anything, why should I pay this money!"

"If you don't come out, then I will sue you and see how Li Aiguo deals with you." Mrs. Jia Zhang's face was grim.

Bangs: "."

He felt that he was so wronged.

Inexplicably, Yi Zhonghai was dragged into dealing with Li Aiguo, and now he had to pay money.

He suffered big losses every time he dealt with Li Aiguo, and he would never play with Yi Zhonghai again.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai made up his mind.

Each family contributed 70 yuan, which was enough to make 210 yuan.

Two hundred yuan will be paid to Village Chief Wei, and the extra ten yuan will be used as Si Zhu’s living expenses for the next month.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are both senior workers, earning seventy or eighty yuan a month.

But the whole family needs to eat, and even if they spend seventy yuan at once, they all feel pain in their bodies.

Liu Haizhong went home, took out the money, and handed it over to Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, don't call me next time if something happens!" He slapped the money into Yi Zhonghai's hand and left angrily.

"This old Liu, ha." Yi Zhonghai looked at his back, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This time I lost money and lost Liu Haizhong as an ally. It was a huge loss.

All the money was handed over to Jia Zhang.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was holding a thick wad of money, her eyes were rolling around, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. It was obvious at a glance that she was thinking of something wrong.

After a while.

Village Chief Wei was chatting with Li Aiguo when Jia Zhang ran over in a hurry and put money into Chief Wei's hand. She turned around and wanted to run away.

But Wang stuttered and stopped him: "Money, money, money, the money hasn't been counted yet! Why are you panicking!"

"what?!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang could only stop and said with a smile: "What's better? My old lady is from the city, can I still lie to you poor people?"

Village Chief Wei didn't listen to her and counted the banknotes in front of everyone.

"Ninety-nine hundred."

"Hey, hey, Mr. Jia Zhang, why do you only have one hundred yuan? We agreed on two hundred yuan!" Village Chief Wei's face became serious.

Seeing this, Wang Stutter took out the whip from his waist.

The thick whip rope dangled in the air, making a sizzling sound.

Wang Zhenshan's character is a witness. At this time, he stopped Wang from stuttering and glared at Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang, everyone is watching, how dare you act nonsense!"

Ms. Jia Zhang shrank her neck in fear and pretended to be pitiful: "I, my family really doesn't have that much money. Are you going to force my old lady to death?"

In Jia Zhang's view, giving these poor guys a hundred yuan would make them happy.

It's really a crime to pay them all two hundred dollars of wasted money.

The remaining one hundred yuan was secretly kept so that she could use it to buy painkillers.

As witty as me, Mr. Jia Zhang!

"Catch him!"

At this time, Li Aiguo spoke: "Since Mrs. Jia Zhang is unrepentant, Captain Wang, please arrest her."

His words could be said to have pierced Jia Zhang's heart. After hearing this, Jia Zhang's face turned green with fright.

What she fears most is being caught.

"I'll give it, can't I give it?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was pitiful: "But I really have no money. How about I write an IOU first? When Dongxu's salary is paid next month, I will definitely pay it back."

Wang Zhenshan also knew Jia Zhang's temperament and wanted to veto it at that time, but was stopped by Li Aiguo.

"Since Mrs. Jia Zhang said so, as a neighbor, I will be a good person for once and help you talk to the fellow members."

"Thank you, Li Aiguo."

Mrs. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth. She was bullied by Li Aiguo, but she had to thank him. It felt aggrieved.

When Village Chief Lao Wei saw that Jia Zhang wanted to pay the debt, he agreed without hesitation.

Li Aiguo asked Wang Zhenshan to write an IOU.

The IOU stated the amount of money owed and the date of repayment. Jia Zhang drew a pig on the back.

Then Wang Zhenshan, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui signed on it as witnesses.

Seeing this scene, Liu Lan's beautiful eyebrows knitted into knots, and her little face was full of doubts: "Brother Patriot, what are you doing? Jia Zhang is a scoundrel. If he owes money, he will definitely not pay it back."

Xu Damao narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't understand this. Village members never have debts that they won't get back, and besides, there are two thousand members this time. If Jia Zhang dares not to pay back the money, then...hehe"

I have to say that Xu Damao is really smart.

Li Aiguo knew Jia Zhang's temperament, but he was more willing to believe in the strength of Weijiazhuang Commune.

In this day and age, if you want to be a good old man, you have to see if your bones are strong.

After taking the IOU, Village Chief Wei took Wang Stutter and left the courtyard.

Li Aiguo personally sent them to the gate.

Village Chief Lao Wei touched a handful of money in his pocket and wanted to give some of it to Li Aiguo.

He knew very well that if Li Aiguo hadn't come up with the idea this time, even Wang Stuttering would have been arrested by the police station, let alone getting the compensation.

But he knew better that Li Aiguo really wanted to help the members, and it would be an insult to him to give him money.

This favor can only be returned later if there is an opportunity.

One hundred dollars.

The lonely old people in the village now have money for medical treatment.

When Dabao and the others reach school age, the commune can help them study.

If there are any leftovers, you can buy some stones and let the members build ditches in their fields during the off-season.

The river water is introduced into the fields, and next year the dozens of acres of dry land will be able to have a good harvest.

This money is really important to Wei Zhuang.

Village Chief Old Wei took a deep breath and raised his hands to Li Aiguo: "Brother Patriot, we won't say anything else. If you need anything in the future, just say it. We have more than 2,000 members in Wei Village without even raising an eyebrow. It will wrinkle a bit."

"Village Chief Wei, you're welcome. You all deserve this. I'll treat you to a drink next time you come to the capital."

"Okay, okay! It's getting late. We have to go back to production. Stuttering, let's go back first."

Wang Stutter flicked his whip gently, and with a squeaking sound, the oxcart disappeared into the crowd.

Li Aiguo looked at their backs with a smile on his lips.

This time, Jia and Zhang can be sent to jail for a few days.

Now I have helped the members earn two hundred yuan.

Absolutely worth it!

Jia Zhang also returned to Lao Yi's house at this time.

Her back was covered with whip marks. She lay on the bed and asked the aunt to apply purple liquid on her.

Just now Wang Stuttered and treated Jia Zhang as an old scalper.

At this time, there were seven or eight whip marks on her back, and the bloody flesh looked a bit scary.

The aunt's hand shook and touched the wound.

Jia Zhang’s brows knitted together in an instant, she glared and scolded: “Hey, what are you doing with such heavy hands? You want to hurt my old lady to death!

Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You just want to wait for me to die and take possession of my son! "

Withdrawing her hand, the aunt wanted to cry but had no tears.

She bought this red potion from the community hospital specifically for Jia Zhang.

Two cents a bottle!

This is simply a case of good intentions running into donkey liver and lungs.

"Where's Qin Huairu, my old lady was beaten just now, why did you hide aside and say nothing!" Jia Zhang shouted at the top of her lungs.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to enter the house after she came back, because she was afraid that Jia Zhang would cause trouble, so she had to come in at this time.

"Mom, that man is so fierce, I'm scared too." Qin Huairu said timidly.

"I am your mother, you are being extremely unfilial!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said: "You eat from our Jia family and drink from our Jia family. I am being bullied. It's better for you to hide far away. What else can I expect from you!?"

Isn't it your fault that you insist on fighting with Li Aiguo? Qin Huairu glanced at the evil mother-in-law and wished she could slap them both.

But she didn't dare.

She is a young daughter-in-law from the countryside. She has no job and no food source.

If he offends the Jia Zhang family, he might be kicked out of the house. Then there will be nothing left to say, and the stick is also from the Jia family.

Therefore, Qin Huairu could only swallow his anger.

But maybe I don’t need to endure it for long. Jia Zhang takes painkillers so hard that she may belch soon.

Then she can live a good life. Qin Huairu carefully applied medicine to Jia Zhang, and Yi Zhonghai came in.

Yi Zhonghai came to investigate.

"Sister-in-law, didn't we collect two hundred yuan for you? Why did you only give those members a hundred yuan?"

"Those idiots, if they can get a hundred yuan, they can burn incense." Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "Next time they come to ask for a bill, I will say that I have no money and see what they can do. "

"you"

Yi Zhonghai knew Jia Zhang's temperament, so even his persuasion was of no use, so he left without saying anything more.

Of course Jia Zhang has her own reasons.

She felt that she was really at a disadvantage this time.

This one hundred yuan was hard-earned money at that time.

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door, looking up at the pale autumn sun, feeling extremely depressed.

This time they suffered a big loss.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was whipped with a whip in public. She was injured all over and had to pay compensation.

The most important thing is that Li Aiguo is a thief. He did not want the money himself, but took it in the name of the members.

People in the compound not only couldn't scold Li Aiguo for speaking out like a lion and not caring about his neighbors, but they also had to give him a thumbs up to praise him for his eagerness to help others.

Yi Zhonghai believed that Li Aiguo must have split the money with the members outside by now, and Li Aiguo would have to take the lion's share.

When someone bullies you, you still have to praise them for being a kind person. You say you feel aggrieved or not.

Yi Zhonghai breathed a little hard.

At this time, seeing Xu Damao's figure, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up and he quickly chased after him.

"Xu Damao, wait!"

Hear the words.

Xu Damao stopped and looked at Yi Zhonghai impatiently: "What's the matter? Master, I'm worried!"

Xu Damao drank the medicinal wine and felt that he had endless strength. He was about to go to an old friend's house to play.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go over there."

Yi Zhonghai pulled Xu Damao to a secluded corner.

"Da Mao, your father and I are old brothers. When your family first moved to the compound, I helped your family move!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't talk about it, but brought up the past things.

Xu Damao is such a shrewd person. He instantly understood that he wanted something from me.

"I'm telling you, sir, if you have anything to do, just tell me quickly and don't make any nonsense. This isn't the first day we've dealt with each other. No one knows who is who!"

Yi Zhonghai chuckled: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you what the medicinal wine you bought from Li Ai's country is for."

"Medicinal wine. Of course it is the kind of medicinal wine that is good for men."

Xu Damao stared at Yi Zhonghai with his eyes wide open, and suddenly burst into laughter, showing a smile of a fellow man: "Master, I didn't expect that you are old-hearted."

"Hey, you kid, what are you talking about? Your uncle is a year old, how can you think about those things!"

Yi Zhonghai felt that it was a bit embarrassing to bring up such a topic in front of juniors.

He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm asking this for an old friend. He has some problems in that area, cough, cough, cough. I'm doing this to help my friend. As you know, I'm always the most enthusiastic about helping others."

"Okay, okay, I understand, you are asking for your friend." Xu Damao smiled knowingly.

Yi Zhonghai felt like his face was burning, "How about that, does the medicinal wine have any effect?"

"Yes, the effect is great." Xu Damao gave a thumbs up and praised: "If Damao had drank this medicinal wine a few years ago, I would have had seven or eight children."

"Really!"

With Xu Damao's personal testimony, Yi Zhonghai's eyes were rolling around.

He had to find a way to get such a good thing.

"Da Mao, if you have any more, give some to the uncle. Bah, give some to the uncle's friends." Seeing Xu Damao was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed his arm.

"Yes, but I used it myself."

".Can you go to Li Aiguo's and buy some for me?"

"Why don't you go by yourself?"

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly, and Xu Damao understood instantly.

"Master, tell me, you are such a good person, why do you insist on getting into trouble with your patriotic brothers?"

"Da Mao, you helped me this time, wait until later. Master will not treat you badly."

Xu Damao didn't agree with Yi Zhonghai's words, but he didn't refuse either.

"Let me find out for you, but this kind of medicinal wine is very expensive. One cup costs one hundred and twenty yuan."

If Li Aiguo still has it, he can make twenty yuan by changing hands, which is considered worthwhile.

"One hundred and twenty yuan is so expensive?" Yi Zhonghai was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"You're stupid. It's so expensive just because it's effective. The Chinese medicine shop on our street also sells medicinal wine. You can buy a bottle for one dollar. Why don't you buy it?" Xu Damao glared.

Yi Zhonghai: "That's true."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: "Da Mao, I'll trouble you for this matter."

Man, it’s so difficult!

"Aiguo will be at home right now. I'll go find out. You wait for me to hear the news."

Xu Damao was anxious to earn twenty yuan, so he turned around and walked towards Li Aiguo.

at this time.

Li Aiguo was talking to Aunt Liu about what happened just now, while Chen Xueru was eating steamed pumpkin.

The steamed pumpkin is sweet and delicious, and has a refreshing taste, which is more delicious than White Rabbit toffee.

He Yuyu ate his mouth full, as if he had a yellow beard.

"I haven't eaten pumpkin this noodles in years."

Aunt Liu picked up a towel to wipe He Yuyu's mouth, looked at Li Aiguo and said:

"Patriot, you handled this matter very well.

Although Jia Zhang is unreasonable, she is also a neighbor in the compound.

Send her into a fence and other residents will definitely have a problem with you.

Now Xueru is about to become a regular employee, and the influence on the masses is not good.

Taking advantage of this matter to help the members get some money is a great help to the members.

I come from a rural area, and I know very well how hard life is in the countryside. "

He Yuyu was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Patriot worked so hard, but he didn't get anything. It's such a disadvantage."

Aunt Liu rubbed her head and said with a smile: "You kid, what do you know? The most difficult thing for a person to owe is a favor, and the hardest thing to repay is a favor. This time, you, my patriotic brother, have gained more than two thousand dollars." A friend."

"What's so hard to owe? Let's not talk about what's so hard to pay back. Wang Ruxin came and asked me to go play in the park." He Yuyu saw Wang Ruxin poking his head at the door, took a piece of pumpkin and ran out.

The two children often played together. In later generations' words, they had a tendency to fall in love early.

Aunt Liu once wanted to educate He Yuyu, but was stopped by Li Aiguo.

He has the eyes of heaven and knows that He Yuyu and Wang Ruxin will become a harmonious couple in the future.

There is no need to beat the mandarin ducks.

While chatting, Xu Damao's voice came from outside.

"Patriotic brothers, are you at home?"

"Brother Damao, you've cooked the pumpkin, come in and have some." Li Aiguo greeted.

"No, I have something to do, can you"

Seeing Xu Damao's sneaky look, Li Aiguo knew that he had something shady going on.

He put down the pumpkin, wiped the corners of his mouth, and left the house.

Walking to the big tree, Xu Damao couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Patriot, do you still have the medicinal wine?"

"Why, it's only been a few days and you can't do it anymore?" Li Aiguo was shocked.

"That's not true. It's a friend who wants to buy medicinal wine." Xu Damao smiled and said, "I gave him money, ninety-nine yuan."

At this time, Li Aiguo accidentally caught a glimpse of Yi Zhonghai lying in the corner and peeked, and he immediately understood.

Xu Damao's friend is probably Yi Zhonghai.

"No, you don't know how precious that thing is."

Li Aiguo directly rejected Xu Damao.

Just kidding, the two families just had a quarrel, and now they are thinking of buying medicinal wine. They are really thick-skinned.

"Yeah."

Xu Damao didn't say much and left with his hands behind his back.

Li Aiguo entered the house and continued to taste the delicious big pumpkin.

Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Damao coming over and asked impatiently: "Da Mao, how are you? Is there any patriotic medicinal wine?"

"Yes!" Xu Damao paused for a moment and lowered his voice and said: "There is only one cup left. If you want to buy it, you must do it as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai panicked and said, "Just wait, I'll go home and get the money right away," and then hurried back home.

Entering the back room, the aunt saw Yi Zhonghai flipping out his bankbook and asked curiously: "Old man, didn't we already give the money to Jia Zhang? What are you doing flipping through the bankbook?"

"Big deal, great thing! If we get it right this time, maybe we can have our own child." Yi Zhonghai opened the bankbook and saw that it was due to expire in one month. If he took it out now, he would lose twelve Dollar interest.

Pity!

"What, what kid?"

The aunt still wanted to ask, but Yi Zhonghai had already ran out of the house with his bankbook.

the other side.

Xu Damao returned home, dug out a bottle of bulk liquor from under the cabinet, and poured it into a glass medicine bottle.

He looked left and right, always feeling that the color was a little off.

Li Aiguo's medicinal wine is brown-yellow, with some foam floating on it, and it looks very high-end.

His glass of wine looked ordinary.

"Da Mao, what are you doing?" Liu Lan was helping Hai Long and Haitao do their homework. She stood up and asked.

Xu Damao looked at the medicine bottle, at Hai Long and Haitao, and asked, "Which one of you two children has been angry in the past two days?"

After half an hour.

Yi Zhonghai got the money and met Xu Damao in the backyard cellar.

Hiding in a dark cellar with a grown man, Yi Zhonghai felt an inexplicable discomfort.

When he was young, he often went into cellars, but never with men.

But Xu Damao said that the medicinal wine was a little secret that belonged to the two of them and needed a hidden place.

If the residents of the compound knew that Yi Zhonghai was not good, would he still have the dignity to be a master?

Yi Zhonghai was deeply moved. Damao was such a good comrade.

The two handed over money with one hand and medicinal wine with the other.

Xu Damao counted the money.

Exactly one hundred and twenty dollars.

"Master, you are so generous. Otherwise, you are the richest family in our compound!"

"You kid, you know how to pick up things and be obedient."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, unscrewed the medicine bottle and took a whiff, frowning slightly: "Da Mao, why does this medicinal wine taste so weird?"

"This is the spirit display wine! It contains more than a hundred tiger whips, leopard whips, bull whips, sheep whips, deer antlers, and ginseng." Xu Damao couldn't remember Li Aiguo's introduction at that time, so he said impatiently: "Anyway It is the essence of heaven and earth, can it taste the same as ordinary wine?"

"That's true. Take a look. The yellow color of this medicinal wine is so pure that it looks like good stuff!" Yi Zhonghai nodded and put the medicinal wine into his pocket.

Xu Damao felt that Hai Long should eat less chili peppers recently.
