“Broken arm?”
Lin Jiayi clearly remembered that Qin Yang had never suffered any injury or broken any arms or legs in his previous life.
Her excitement gradually calmed down.
It seemed that even the heavens were fair, perhaps it was because of Lin Chuxia that he ended up breaking his arm.
Thinking back to the Bun Shop, she also remembered that on that day it was indeed Qin Han and Zhang Guilan in the shop, and Lin Chuxia only arrived later.
Speaking of that couple, they weren’t good people either, especially Zhang Guilan, who was more calculating than anyone else.
In the past life, because Qin Yang was able to earn a salary, the couple never brought up splitting the family. Later when Qin Yang brought back a child, they immediately raised the issue of division.
The old folks of the Qin Family were biased towards the eldest.
Clearly, including the child, she and Qin Yang made up a family of three, yet at the time of division, they were only given land for two, while the Eldest Son of Qin Family got land for four, and by the end of the year, the grain given to the in-laws couldn’t be any less.
If it weren’t for her maternal family’s support, and her own resilience, she would have been devoured to the bone by that unscrupulous family.
Lin Chuxia must have used some fox-like tricks to seduce Qin Yang, but if she wanted to compete with the Eldest Son of Qin Family, she was probably still too green.
“Is that just it? That three hundred yuan from the beginning might have been taken by her, who else would come to our house to steal money? I’ve asked Jiadong, and it definitely wasn’t him, Mom, you can’t let it go like this. You’re her mother, you gave birth to her and raised her, now it’s only right for her to spend money to support you.”
Mother Lin nodded vaguely, she knew this was the case, but preaching filial piety had no effect on that man, she didn’t know what to do.
It was evident that Qin Yang genuinely protected Lin Chuxia, that infuriating girl.
……
As time waits for no one, after discussing with Qin Yang, Chuxia prepared the paperwork and went to the bank the next day to process the loan.
She first repaid the imminent three thousand yuan loan.
Then, she took the paperwork and applied for a new loan.
These days to get a loan, having good credit wasn’t enough, there had to be collateral.
Fortunately, their Bun Shop was quite famous in Ancheng County now, so even the re-application for a loan was approved rather swiftly.
This time, Lin Chuxia directly took out a loan of twenty thousand yuan, not only to cover the current land cost, but also the construction of the factory and initial investment.
Twenty thousand yuan was a lot, but if everything went smoothly, they should be able to pay off the loan in half a year.
Upon receiving the money, the two of them went straight to the village chief’s house.
The village chief, over fifty, was also surnamed Qin, named Shusen.
The Qin surname was originally prominent in Qin Family Village, and the village chief’s family was distantly related to Qin Yang’s family, but they had become distant by Qin Yang’s father’s generation.
The village chief always had a high regard for Qin Yang, the first college student from Qin Family Village after the national college entrance exam was reinstated, and even from a prestigious university.
At that time, their village was highlighted by the township; the day the acceptance letter came, they celebrated with gongs and drums, which brought honor to his face as the village chief.
Now that Qin Yang was building a factory in their village, when he reported it to the township the day before, the township chief praised their Qin Family Village leadership team for their high consciousness, seizing the breeze of reform and opening up, and keeping up with the times.
In reality, he didn’t have such awareness; it was Qin Yang who had approached him.
Even his previous idea of starting a chicken farm in the village was inspired by watching the Qin family’s shop selling roasted chickens, wondering if they could use their chickens on the merit of being fellow villagers.
However, he had only mentioned this to a few village cadres, everyone thought it was feasible, but no one had the guts to speak up, so it was left hanging.
As a result of Qin Yang’s arrival, everything was settled, and it can be said that the Qin Family’s action had benefited the entire populace of Qin Family Village.
So when Qin Shusen saw Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia, he was exceptionally enthusiastic.
He quickly notified someone to call the other village cadres.
As the end of year approached and there was no more work in the fields, every household was hibernating at home, preparing for the New Year.
In a short while, the Secretary and the accountant arrived.
Lin Chuxia, having married into the family only six months ago, was not familiar with the village cadres, so Qin Yang made a special effort to introduce them to her.
And seeing Qin Yang’s actions, the village cadres also realized that the person in charge of the food processing factory that the Qin Family was planning to start was probably right here.
After all, Qin Yang had a job and spent limited time at home.
Even if he was orchestrating everything, it would be his wife who dealt with future contacts.
They became even more enthusiastic towards Lin Chuxia.
The village chief coughed and began to discuss business.
“The piece of land we talked about this morning, the one I told you about earlier, it’s over seven mu and a little more, but I think it’s not very regular in shape, and it’s not really suitable for building a factory. So I was thinking about giving you those few jujube trees at the corner that belong to the collective too. That way, you would have a little more than eight mu and two points of land. What do you think?”
Qin Yang said nothing but looked towards Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia spoke up promptly, “That sounds great, Uncle Qin has thought things through thoroughly. To be honest, we checked out that piece of land this morning and were planning to discuss this very issue with you. Now it’s perfect.”
Hearing this, Qin Shusen silently breathed a sigh of relief.
They hadn’t mentioned the jujube trees yesterday, but later, after discussing it with a few people at the collective’s office, they realized those trees hadn’t been producing much fruit anyway. Keeping that piece of land was a waste, it wouldn’t suffice for dividing residential land among the villagers. So they thought it would be better to give it all to the Qin family lad, and perhaps ask for more money in return.
He was actually a bit worried the other party might refuse when he brought it up.
Now, he stopped looking at Qin Yang and directly negotiated with Lin Chuxia.
“So according to what we agreed on yesterday, the price is 800 yuan per mu. For eight mu and a bit over two points of land, that would be 6560 yuan. Then there are the six jujube trees. Although they don’t bear much fruit, they are still public property. What do you think…”
“Let’s make it an even number and say 40, what do you think, Uncle Qin?”
Qin Shusen slapped his thigh, “That’s settled, then. Qin Ming, did you bring the cash? I’ll go get the official seal.”
That’s why it’s different when you deal with people who do big things. Just yesterday, the director of public security said his brother wanted those jujube trees and offered the village 10 yuan.
He dared to offer only 10 yuan.
Lin Chuxia also took out the contract she had prepared in advance; several village cadres took turns reviewing it, and all felt there were no issues.
Two copies of the contract were made, with the village chief and the Secretary signing and affixing the official seal, and Lin Chuxia signing too. She then took out the fresh and warm official seal of Xiyang Food Company that she had just received yesterday and stamped it on the document.
Seeing the bright red company seal, Qin Shusen felt somewhat excited. He thought it would be Qin Yang or Lin Chuxia signing and using their fingerprints, but it turned out to be the company seal.
“Qin Yang’s wife, can I discuss something with you?”
“Go ahead, Uncle.”
Qin Shusen glanced at the Secretary and said with gritted teeth, “Since your Xiyang Food Company is building a factory in our village, could it be considered as our village’s enterprise? Don’t worry, the village won’t interfere with management, we just want the name…”
“Uncle, you’re too modest. We are villagers of Qin Family Village, and the factory is using Qin Family Village land. If it’s not a village enterprise, what is it? Plus, once the factory is up and running, we’ll still need the support from Qin Family Village’s folks and our village cadres.”
Hearing this, Qin Shusen and the others were instantly pleased. Having such a factory in the village, regardless of whether the chicken farm succeeds or not, the award for the advanced collective of the county next year would undoubtedly be theirs.
