Cheng thought about Lai Si's sudden change of heart, and there must be something fishy in it. He thought about going to him with Chen Jiao tomorrow to ask him.
Unexpectedly, before Cheng wanted to find him, Lai Si came to the door himself.
Zhou Tianlei went to the pig farm early in the morning. As soon as Cheng Xiang sent away the two children going to school, he heard a noise at the door.
When I went out, I saw it was Lai Si, sitting on the stone steps at the door with a pig's head with a bruised nose and a swollen face, shouting: "The big boss of our Zhoujia Village bullies others and wants to seize other people's land. If he doesn't rent it to him, he actually lets the loser It's unjust to come to someone's door and beat them up, it's unjust."
This shouting has attracted many people to come and watch.
"Lai Si? What happened? Did you drink too much yesterday? Did you fall into a ditch?"
"What fell into the ditch? I was beaten." Lai Si put his hands in his hands and sniffed.
"Who hit you? Why did they hit you?" someone asked.
"It's that fool Zhang Qingxiang, the loser of their Zhou Tianlei family. He beat me up." Lai Si shouted.
Aunt Xiuhua next door was holding a bowl of noodles and eating them over and over again. She said over and over again: "Who beat you? Who are you looking for? What are you going to do here?"
Lai Sigong frowned and said: "Chen Jiao and Zhang Qingxiang rented land to build a greenhouse. Who doesn't know that the big bosses behind them are Zhou Tianlei and his wife? I was beaten by a bastard. If I don't look for the owner, who can I look for?"
Cheng Xiang walked to the door, glanced at the people around him, then looked at Lai Si, who had a black eye and swollen cheeks, and asked coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Lai Si glanced back, looked at Cheng and thought: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Zhou Tianlei, please let him out." As he said that, he peeked through the door behind Cheng Xiang and into the yard.
Cheng Xiang looked at her and sneered: "Who in the village doesn't know that Zhou Tianlei has already gone to work at the pig farm. If you really want to find Zhou Tianlei, just go to the pig farm to find him. I’ll come home and tell you what’s going on?”
Lai Si was confused by what Cheng wanted to say, so he looked Cheng up and down and thought, "Is it useful to ask you?"
Cheng Xiang said impatiently: "You think it's useless to find me, so go to the pig farm to find Zhou Tianlei. What kind of monkey tricks are you doing here?"
Lai Si's face froze when she choked him, and he muttered for a long time: "I was beaten by Zhang Qingxiang, and I'm here to seek justice."
Cheng Xiang sneered: "Zhang Qingxiang is not my family or my employee. Why did you come to us after he beat you?"
Lai Si chuckled and shouted at the top of his lungs to the onlookers: "Who doesn't know that idiot Zhang Qingxiang is your loser? If he points in the right direction but doesn't fight in the west, that idiot is just a grinning pug. Give him a piece of steamed bun. He can wag his tail and stick out his tongue at you..."
Lai Si was scolding the people around him vigorously, when suddenly a basin of cold water poured down on his head, shaking his whole body.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Cheng Xiang, who was holding a basin in his hand, and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Cheng wanted to throw the basin on the ground and said in a cold voice: "I want you to wake up. Are you dizzy so early in the morning? Come to my door and curse people? If you have something to do, just say it quickly. If you curse again, it will get to you." What’s on my body is not cold water anymore.”
Lai Si's body was dripping with water, and the early spring weather was still chilly. He shivered, looked at Cheng Xiang's eyes that were colder than cold water, swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't want to rent my land to anyone." You guys, Zhang Qingxiang came to my house and beat me up. I came to seek justice from you. What’s the matter? I don’t want to rent my own land, so why not? You can’t bully others like this if you have money, right?”
Cheng thought: "First of all, you didn't tell the truth. Zhang Qingxiang will never beat you because you don't rent the land. Secondly, the agreement for renting the land stated that the lease period is three years and the rent is paid in advance. It is written in black and white on the paper. You pressed it." Fingerprints and rent have been accepted. If you go back on your promise, it is a breach of contract. Even if you take it to court, you have no chance of winning. Do you understand?"
Lai Si said with a shameless face: "You have made my land full of holes. I'm afraid you will destroy my land. I won't rent it anymore. I want to take it back and plant it myself. What are you... ..." Lai Si rolled his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "You are destroying young crops and crops. According to national policy, this is illegal. Go ahead and sue and see who goes to jail."
Destroying young crops, breaking the law, and national policy. If a scoundrel can say these things, it’s strange that there is no one behind him to instruct him.
"The national policy is liberalized, allowing land contracting and leasing, and encouraging the development of cash crops? Didn't he tell you this?" Cheng Xiangyi looked at Lai Si pointedly.
A trace of panic flashed across Lai Si's face, and he muttered: "What, what kind of crops, I don't understand."
Cheng wanted to take a breath: "Stop messing around here. You won't make such a fuss for no reason. Tell me, what do you want?"
Lai Si looked at Cheng Xiang up and down, and said with a crooked mouth: "You can also let me rent the land to you if you want. The rent will be doubled. I want 100 yuan an acre. And Zhang Qingxiang beat me. I want him to Kneel down and apologize to me.”
"100 yuan per acre? Lai Si, you are so open-mouthed." Someone around exclaimed.
"That's right, you can grow money trees in your land."
Lai Si shook his head and said, "They earned 500 yuan from two acres of land in two months by growing greenhouses. Are they going to use my land to grow cash cows? How much less is 100 yuan?"
The onlookers sighed for a while.
"Hey, how much money can you make by growing a greenhouse?"
"Isn't that right? Chen Jiao's two greenhouses made a lot of money last year."
"Of course I'm making money. How about renting land to expand the business this year?"
"I heard that all the land owned by his parents' family was given to her to grow a greenhouse."
"..."
Cheng Xiang looked at Lai Si with a chuckle: "Since you rent land, what you plant is the voluntary choice of the renter. If someone else makes money by renting your land, they still have to share it with you? What if you lose money? Do you want to return the rent? ah?
You are renting land and a house for others to live in. What if they marry a wife and have children in that house? Is it possible that your wife and children are all yours? "
The people around burst into laughter.
Lai Si was speechless and said: "Anyway, I want to raise the land rent. If you don't want to, I won't rent it anymore. I will refund the rent to you. You have to level my land and give me wheat." I’ll plant it back and we’ll settle the matter.”
Cheng Xiang shook his head lightly: "The rent of 50 yuan is reasonable. If you want to ask for more, you won't get a cent. Besides, we can't pay it off. It's written in the agreement that if you breach the contract, you will get double the rent back."
Lai Si was immediately dumbfounded, double? At that time, Guang was in a hurry to get the money and didn't read the agreement carefully at all: "Why is it double? Why should it be doubled?"
"Lai Si, if you dare to come here and act like a rogue, I'll beat you to death, you bastard." With a scolding, Chen Jiao ran over and slapped Lai Si on the face.
