This also made these representatives determined to go back and warn everyone not to be stupid and implicate everyone.
In the village.
When the villagers saw that there was no movement from Qinglin Laboratory the next day, some of them felt that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, someone should have come to talk to Chief Liu today. It was impossible for them to ignore it.
Guo Qiban felt inexplicably flustered. As he was eating, he asked his wife, “Old woman, why aren’t they here yet?”
His wife frowned and said, “How would I know? My brother’s village has already signed the contract. Aren’t you afraid that they won’t come?”
“Isn’t this our son’s betrothal gift?” Guo Qiban felt that something was wrong.
The people from Qinglin Laboratory had left without a word yesterday.
Even Section Chief Liu did not return.
The county people would always patiently repeat the previous support projects several times.
As he was thinking, his phone rang. Seeing that the number was his wife and brother’s, he immediately picked up the call. He heard his wife and brother scolding, “Brother-in-law, are all the people in your village poor? Qinglin Laboratory is such a good cooperation, but you still want to ruin it.”
“Do you know how much 20% of the profits of your family’s own land + more than ten acres of land are? You can earn more than 300,000 yuan if you spend five months taking care of the watermelons diligently in a year?”
“More than 300,000 yuan?” Guo Qiban exclaimed when he heard this. “That’s impossible, right? He can earn so much?”
A mocking voice came from the other end of the line. “Impossible? Didn’t you people from Lower House Village read the contract? The county guarantees that the profits of a watermelon worth more than ten yuan a catty are 20%. Do you think it’s fake? You actually caused trouble for 100,000 yuan. You’re really damn poor.”
“Ah...” Guo Qiban was shocked. He believed in his brother-in-law and said in panic, “This was all started by our village chief and his son. I’ll get them to invite the people from Qinglin Laboratory back.”
His brother-in-law sneered. “It’s too late. The representatives of the other villages have long been invited to the county for a meeting. They said that the seeds are about to be planted. Only your village doesn’t have them. It’s impossible for Qinglin Laboratory to plant them in your village. You’re on the blacklist.”
“What?” Guo Qiban’s face was completely pale.
He really did not expect his land to earn more than 300,000 yuan a year. Now, it had been lost by Guo Tan and Guo Guan.
He seemed to have forgotten that he had also been tempted by the 100,000 yuan yesterday.
With that in mind, he couldn’t help but pick up the hoe beside him and walk fiercely out the door.
“What are you doing?” his wife shouted anxiously.
Guo Qiban was holding a hoe and did not look back. He had not gone far when he saw a neighbor walking out with a wooden stick. He was also going to Guo Guan and Guo Tan’s house.
Between villages, wives were married to each other more than 20 years ago. Now that the other village representatives had returned, the news of Lower House Village had spread. Those with in-laws would naturally call the people of Lower House Village to find out. 1
Now, many people are regretting it. Previously, when they saw the 20% profit, they did not ask clearly and believed in Guo Tan’s evil intentions.
At this moment, Guo Tan was also very depressed at home. This was because he had been chatting well with Cai Jing yesterday. He had said that he was going to buy a car soon, and the other party had even said that he would bring her out to play. Unexpectedly, when he sent a WeChat message today, he realized that the other party had deleted him and could not even call him.
As he was thinking, Guo Tan saw a group of villagers walking in aggressively with wooden sticks and hoes.
When Guo Guan saw this, he hurriedly stood up and said, “Guo Qiban, what are you doing?”
Guo Qiban immediately said, “You father and son have to give an explanation. Do you know that my family’s land can earn more than 300,000 yuan a year? Now, you father and son have actually made us offend Qinglin Villa.”
Hearing this, the other villagers also spoke.
“That’s right. My family earns more than 200,000 yuan a year on their land.”
“The other villages have signed it. Only you and your father are causing trouble.”
“Spending five months taking care of watermelons can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year. It’s all thanks to you and your father.”
“...”
These words stunned Guo Guan and Guo Tan, especially Guo Tan. He had never thought that the 20% profit would be so much.
If he had known earlier, why would he have gone through so much?
But now his mind was working again. Their family had more land. Couldn’t they earn more in a year?
Cai Jing had actually deleted him as a friend. He would definitely regret it when the time came.
Looking at the aggressive villagers, he immediately said, “Don’t worry, everyone. Since Qinglin Laboratory is willing to give us so much every year, they won’t be angry even if we say 100,000 yuan. We’ll just go and admit our mistakes.”
