Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 79: Death is like the extinguishing of a light, contracting a soy sauce factory

That night.

Liu Hongchang took He Wenyuan to the coal factory, and after private negotiation, the coal factory paid a one-time compensation of 58,000 yuan.

This was what Houdunzi worked hard to obtain, otherwise someone like He Wentao would not have received so much compensation.

As for He Wentao's body, in order to avoid any further complications, it was taken to the crematorium and burned that night.

He was busy until early morning, and only when it was light did He Wenyuan return home holding the urn.

Yu Qiuhua, He Wenhui and Gao Junling did not sleep all night and their eyes were swollen from crying.

After seeing the urn, Yu Qiuhua and He Wenhui cried so hard that no one could persuade them to stop.

Houdunzi also came and squatted under the eaves with Liu Hongchang, smoking, ignoring the crying in the house.

"Let's find a place to bury him today! It's unlucky!" Houdunzi exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a low voice.

Liu Hongchang smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your help. Finally, a big trouble is saved."

"What else do we have to talk about? Isn't your business my business?" Houdunzi said with a smile.

"If you really want to thank me, let me have a few more big fat boys. I'll be happier than anything else."

Liu Hongchang nodded with a smile and said, "You don't know yet, right? Sister Junling went for a checkup a few days ago and she's pregnant with a boy."

"It's only been three or four months? Can it be detected by examination?" Houdunzi was surprised and happy, and said nervously.

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "It's pretty much the same. Besides, even if it's a daughter, isn't it a blessing?"

"That's true, my daughter likes it too!" Houdunzi said happily.

At this time, Erqing from next door came forward to say hello. This guy is about the same age as He Wentao and now has replaced He Wentao's place in the guard of honor.

Liu Hongchang stood up and said with a smile, "Erqing, you're here just in time. Please help me go and talk to the canteen's Liuzi and ask him to ask for leave for me. I won't be going over today."

"Okay, I'll go right away." After hearing this, Erqing ran out.

Erqing's mother was picking vegetables by the sink in the yard. She didn't say anything when she saw it.

Many neighbors also came to ask if they needed help or something, and if they did, they would ask for leave early.

Liu Hongchang declined all the invitations and had no plans to hold a banquet.

When the crying in the room died down a bit, he and Houdunzi were about to go in to take a look when Gao Junling came out and whispered:

"My master just mentioned the same old thing again, saying that he wants to give Wenda away. Isn't she going to let it go?"

"Now that Wentao is dead, she only has one son, Wenda. If she gives him away, who will take care of her in her old age?" Houdunzi frowned.

Gao Junling shook her head and said, "I don't know what Master is thinking. Wen Tao's death was a big blow to her!"

"That's for sure. After all, Wentao is her biological son." Houdunzi sighed.

Liu Hongchang pondered and said, "I'll go in and ask about the situation. It's better to hide everything and talk about it openly."

So the three of them entered the house, He Wenhui and He Wenyuan supported Yu Qiuhua on the left and right, while Yu Qiuhua held the urn in her arms.

"You can't keep holding Wentao like this. It's best to bury him as soon as possible." Liu Hongchang said.

Yu Qiuhua wiped her tears, handed the box over and said, "Hong Chang, thank you for your help."

"No trouble." Liu Hongchang took the box and asked, "I just heard from Sister Junling that you want to give Wenda away again?"

"Yes, I've thought it over carefully. I still have to send Wenda away." Yu Qiuhua said with tears in her eyes.

"Last year, because I was blind, I delayed Wenhui's college education. Now, because I don't know how to teach my child, Wentao is dead."

"I can't harm Wenda anymore. I should send him away early while he's still young and there are people willing to adopt him!"

In fact, she had already noticed that Wenda was showing some signs of growing up astray. He would rather not eat himself and feed the food to the dog, and would not listen to any advice.

Just because of this incident, Yu Qiuhua felt anxious. She was really afraid that Wen Dashuang would become the second Wen Tao.

Strangely, He Wenhui and He Wenyuan did not try to stop him, nor did they even say a word of persuasion.

On the contrary, Gao Junling was a little worried, afraid that Yu Qiuhua would become depressed and do something stupid after not having her children around.

The room fell silent for a while before Liu Hongchang asked, "Or should we give it to Section Chief Xie?"

Last year, He Wenda was also sent to Section Chief Xie's home. Section Chief Xie also had no children, and the couple doted on He Wenda very much.

Later, when He Wenhui learned about the situation, she notified the original owner overnight and went with the original owner to get the child back.

To this end, Section Chief Xie brought a group of people, took explosives to the second canteen, and used fake detonators to threaten to return the child.

The original owner was quite cunning. He found out that the explosives only had a detonator but no gunpowder, so he boldly lit the fuse, which immediately shocked Section Chief Xie and the people he brought with him.

The matter was left unresolved, and later the original owner and Section Chief Xie became friends.

"Yes, let's send him to his home. I believe they will treat Wenda well." Yu Qiuhua nodded slightly and replied.

So Liu Hongchang stopped persuading him.

That morning, Section Chief Xie came over and signed an adoption agreement with Yu Qiuhua.

Liu Hongchang, Houdunzi, He Wenhui and He Wenyuan also signed and served as witnesses.

After all, He Wenda had lived with Section Chief Xie and the others, so he was not shy. Instead, he was very happy and looking forward to it.

It was so good to be in Section Chief Xie's house. He often had meat and fruit to eat. He ate well and wore well. The child was very happy. In addition to giving Wenda away, He Wentao was also buried. The cemetery was purchased for several hundred yuan, which was taken from the compensation.

There was no banquet, just a few firecrackers set off at the cemetery and burned some paper money, and that was it.

As for He Wentao's death compensation, Liu Hongchang gave it all to Yu Qiuhua.

Yu Qiuhua then handed the money over to He Wenhui for safekeeping, saying that she and Wenyuan's future expenses would be paid from it.

Then the money returned to Liu Hongchang.

He was not greedy for the money, so he took an account book and gave it to He Wenhui and He Wenyuan for safekeeping.

As for future expenses, they should be recorded here. The two sisters will supervise together, review the accounts once a month, and sign together to confirm.

Not only that, Liu Hongchang also returned the title deed of the house to Yu Qiuhua.

After discussing with He Wenhui, Yu Qiuhua planned to transfer the house to He Wenyuan's name and said that she would not give any other dowry in the future.

This situation really feels a bit like making arrangements for one's final affairs.

As for Liu Hongchang and his wife’s wedding house, it was self-built and had no property rights. It was built by Liu Hongchang, so naturally it belonged to him and He Wenhui.

After being busy for most of the day, around noon, a group of people went to Liu Hongchang's house for lunch.

In order to prevent Yu Qiuhua from becoming depressed, Wang Cuilan, He Wenhui and Gao Junling all persuaded her to stay here for the time being.

After Yu Qiuhua refused several times, she had no choice but to agree in order to reassure everyone.

So after lunch, He Wenyuan immediately smiled happily and borrowed Liu Hongchang's bicycle and went back to get clothes and other things.

Wang Cuilan took He Wenhui with her to clean up and decorate the room in the middle of the east wing.

Yu Qiuhua and He Wenyuan will live here for some time from now on.

Originally, Liu Hongchang planned to use this room as a living room, but when he thought about his new house, he did not stop it.

Because of He Wentao's matter, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying also took leave to attend the funeral and did not go to work.

Seeing Yu Qiuhua and her family move in, I also moved to the room on the far right. My wish finally came true.

Brothers should settle accounts clearly. In the afternoon, Liu Yunchang gave 600 yuan to Liu Hongchang, and the two brothers went to the street office together to transfer the ownership.

Originally, Liu Hongchang said that he would let them live there for free, but Liu Yunchang was worried about something unexpected happening and insisted on paying money to transfer the ownership.

Liu Hongchang saw what he was thinking, so he accepted the money generously.

When going to the street, Liu Hongchang also asked Fang Tianyi to call Fang Yongfu to discuss the contracting of the factory together.

The reason why he was called upon was because he and Director Wang were relatives after all, and it was easier to get things done with acquaintances, so naturally they would be used if conditions allowed.

After transferring the ownership of the house to Liu Yunchang, Director Wang took Liu Hongchang and Fang Yongfu to the soy sauce factory for an on-site inspection.

Also accompanying them were some section chiefs, deputy section chiefs, clerks, etc., about twenty people in total.

It’s worth mentioning that the factory is not small, with an area of ​​about five or six thousand square meters. Although the factory building is dilapidated, it can still be used.

The contract fee is not expensive, 30,000 yuan a year, and the factory can be used free of charge for three years, but the government must hold a 35% stake.

At first they said 45%, but after a lot of bargaining, the street finally gave in and agreed to 35%, any lower than that would not work.

Of course, the share dividends will not be paid immediately and will be decided based on the factory's operating conditions.

For example, if a factory wants to expand and develops rapidly, the street office will not only not be in a hurry to collect dividends, but may even increase its support.

Of course, Liu Hongchang also put forward conditions.

The first is to register this factory under the district. Although Jingcheng Street is equivalent to a county-level unit, its level is still a bit low.

Second, the street should help expand the factory’s qualifications, that is, the scope of production and operation, so that it cannot just produce soy sauce.

It should be able to engage in the wholesale and commission agency of agricultural products, grains and oils, livestock and poultry products, dairy products, aquatic products, as well as the processed products of the above products, food additives, condiments, beverages, and alcoholic beverages.

As long as it has something to do with food, we will help you apply for it. After discussion with the street office, we finally agreed.

After the deal was settled, a group of people returned to the street office. Liu Hongchang applied for the contract and paid 5,000 yuan. After the street office's report was approved, it was agreed that the contract would be formally signed on the first of next month.

On the way back, Liu Hongchang asked Fang Yongfu: "Uncle Fang, do you want to continue to run a shop, or do you want to work in the factory?"

"Haha, I'd better open a shop. I'll apply for it tomorrow and specialize in selling pickles." Fang Yongfu shook his head and said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang advised: "Don't worry, wait until the first of next month when I sign the contract, then you can make the changes. Then your store will be registered under the factory name, which will save you a lot of trouble."

This is equivalent to a specialty store. Fang Yongfu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Will the pickles produced by your factory still be sold at such a high price in the future?"

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "It has to be expensive. Our pickles use a lot of precious medicinal materials, so they can't be cheap. We have to go for the high-end route."

To the sauce for making pickles, add space spring water diluted 10,000 to 1.

Not only does it taste more delicious, but men who eat it regularly will become harder, and women who eat it regularly can improve their complexion.

Liu Hongchang did not publicize this aspect, but I believe that it won’t be long before people who have eaten pickles will discover this.

At that time, we are not worried about the products being sold at high prices, but we are worried about insufficient production capacity.
