Chapter 264 What are you going there for? The men were indeed as experienced as Zheng Dayou said. With the help of Maybach and the help of something padding underneath, the vehicle was easily driven up. After reversing for several meters, Cheng Ming turned off the engine and jumped out. About several square meters of rice in the rice field was trampled. Cheng Ming asked, "Brother, whose paddy field is this? You should know it, right? I'll give you 500 yuan, and you can help me compensate the owner later." Zheng Dayou waved his hand. "What! Why give me money? It's just seven or eight grains of rice. It's not worth much! I can just go and tell him." The boss just sent everyone a Huazi, can we still get more money for the rice? Zheng Dahu thinks that people should not be so greedy. The other men agreed.
"Yeah, just a little thing." "Boss, just go back without worry." "Let's talk about Liu Laosi's side!" "It's just a few rice plants. It's okay. We can make up for it later." Cheng Ming was a little hesitant after hearing this. Just then, a hunchbacked old man in his fifties trotted over. Seeing several rice plants trampled in the paddy field, he cried out in pain. Then he glared at Cheng Ming and asked, "You crushed my seedlings?" Cheng Ming nodded: "Yes." "Pay compensation!" Liu Laosi shouted loudly, looking very angry. "Okay." Cheng Ming nodded. After all, it was him who crushed the rice, and he was planning to pay some money. "Uncle, five hundred dollars is okay, right?" Liu Laosi was also a cunning person. He loved to take advantage of others and everyone in the village knew it. Now I see the young man in front of me saying five hundred yuan so straightforwardly, and his car looks very big. Although I don’t know what brand it is, it looks very valuable. Such a rich man, you have to extort money from him, right? "Is it okay?" Cheng Ming asked again when he saw that Liu Laosi didn't react. Liu Laosi took another look at the car and said, "No, you have to pay 5,000 yuan!" Hearing this, Cheng Ming was stunned. He didn't expect that this old man would ask for such a high price. Just for stepping on a dozen rice plants, you dare to ask for five thousand yuan? The main reason was that he had seen the men who helped him push the cart were all quite generous, and he thought that everyone in the village was like that. He didn't expect to meet such people. "Uncle, why are these rice plants of yours worth five thousand dollars?" Cheng Ming asked coldly.
It's not that he doesn't have five thousand, but he doesn't want to give it to someone like this. "I said it's worth five thousand, so it's five thousand!" Liu Laosi looked like a complete rogue. Even his fellow villagers couldn't stand it anymore. "Liu Laosi, you are too greedy!" "Five thousand! Just for these few rice plants! How dare you say that!" "Don't you have any shame at all?" "Are you going to bring disgrace to our Shanhe Village?" The black-faced Zheng Dahu pointed directly at Liu Laosi's nose and yelled, "Liu Laosi! Are you crazy? If you need money, why don't you go and earn it yourself?" All the villagers were speaking for the stranger in front of them, and this scene made Liu Laosi a little stunned. Shouldn't it be his fellow villagers who normally speak up for him? Why are these people's elbows turned outward? For an instant, such a thought flashed through Liu Laosi's mind. But the situation didn't allow him to think too much. He had already said he wanted five thousand, and the words were out, so it wasn't easy to change them. "Hmph! This has nothing to do with you, right? He is suppressing my land, so I should be the one negotiating compensation with him! Your opinion doesn't count!" said Liu Laosi. "Old Liu Si you!" "Grass!" Liu Laosi refused to listen to the advice, and the men were speechless for a moment. Because of Liu Laosi's high price, Cheng Ming's face gradually turned cold. "It's just a dozen rice plants. Five thousand yuan is too much, right? Five hundred yuan is too much." It was obvious that he was unwilling to pay more. This is Cheng Ming’s personality. He can give it voluntarily, but not under the threat of others. Five thousand yuan is not a lot of money. The eight cigarettes he just gave away were almost several thousand yuan, and he gave them away without even blinking an eye. But Cheng Ming had never compromised and given money under the threat of others. "No! Five hundred yuan is definitely not enough!" Liu Laosi looked very angry. "Isn't five hundred yuan enough to send away beggars? It should be at least four thousand yuan!" Lao Liu took a step back and lowered the price by one thousand yuan. But Cheng Ming's face turned cold. "Just five hundred! If you don't want it, you can call the police and let them decide." His tone was firm, as if there was no room for negotiation. Liu Laosi's expression changed again and again.
If we really do as he says and call the police, even though the police will help the locals, their actions won't be too outrageous! Those rice plants were indeed not worth much. When the police came, they could at most try to smooth things over and ask the other party to pay compensation of one or two hundred yuan. This way, Liu Laosi will get less money. His tone suddenly weakened: "Three thousand, no less." Unexpectedly, the young boss's tone left no room for doubt. "Five hundred. I'll say it for the last time. If you're not happy, I'll just leave." Cheng Ming said. Liu Laosi was slightly furious: "You're leaving? How can you leave? You've suppressed the people of our Shanhe Village. Will our brothers in Shanhe Village let you go?" This statement came out. Zheng Dahu and others nearby spoke up immediately. "Liu Laosi! Stop talking nonsense. Boss Cheng can leave if he wants to. No one will stop him!" "that is!" "Why should we stop Boss Cheng?" "We in Shanhe Village are not some poor mountain village. How can we stop people from leaving if they want to?" "If you Liu Laosi want to be a jerk, we won't help you!" Seeing this scene, Liu Laosi was very surprised. He was so angry that he trembled slightly, but could not say a word. He knew that these people would not speak for him. He didn't know why. Normally the villagers were very united, but now they were all helping an outsider? Finally, Liu Laosi gave in and nodded, "Five hundred is five hundred!" Seeing this, Cheng Ming reached into his bag, pulled out five hundred yuan, and threw it directly on Liu Laosi's face. Old Liu Si took the money with a grim face and left without saying a word. Cheng Ming thanked the men again and was about to leave. He suddenly realized that he could not reach Liushi River ahead, so he wanted to ask Zheng Dayou. "Brother, is there a flowing rock river ahead?" "Yes, but cars can't pass here, and the road will become smaller and smaller." Zheng Dayou replied. The Changde Navigation is such a rip-off! Cheng Ming complained in his heart, and then asked: "Is there another way to get there?" "Yes, but you have to go around to the next door Dahe Village. They have a cement road that goes directly to the river." "Okay, thanks bro." After Cheng Ming finished speaking, he was about to drive away. Zheng Dayou saw that he was easy to talk to and seemed to be a wealthy man of status, so he tried to get close to him.
"Brother, what are you going to do in Flowing Stone River? Fishing?" Fishing seems to be a very popular hobby now. Many people like to cast their fishing rods and find a river after get off work. Zheng Dayou can't think of anything else to do except fishing. He advised: "There are not many fish in the Flowing Stone River. It is too shallow." Cheng Ming knew that the other party had misunderstood, and said, "No." If not fishing, then why go to the river? Zheng Dayou was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Boss, you are not going to look for the Fire Cloud Stone, are you?" (End of this chapter)
