At night, the courtyard is brightly lit, and my brothers are very polite. If they say that the whole family is coming, they really mean that the whole family is coming.
Before it got dark, Xiaowu and the general's wives came over to help prepare dinner. Children from various families chased and played in the yard, and the old house, which was not usually inhabited, suddenly became lively.
A total of three tables were opened. There is a table for men, a table for women, and a table for children.
However, the children's table had basically dispersed before the dishes were served, because Yang Dongxu, who had nothing to do in the evening, set up the barbecue grill.
I originally thought of getting some mutton skewers to drink and eat, but it all ended up in the stomachs of a bunch of little kids. Dinner here hasn't even started yet, and these kids have almost eaten it.
After serving a few bites of their favorite dishes at the table, and then drinking a few drinks, everyone said they were full as if their buttocks were on fire.
Everyone had crackers and lighters in their pockets, and under the leadership of the older children, they played cracklingly in the big yard of the old house.
After being yelled at for a few times, he ran out of the yard and went to get a cannon to blow up cow dung.
"Your clothes are stained. Go back and wait for me."
Several women shouted towards the door.
There were responses from outside. The promises were good, but there was no certainty what would happen next.
Not to mention staining your clothes, it is common to accidentally burn a hole in your newly purchased down jacket. This is the case for children in rural areas, especially when they get wild at the end of the year and don't eat three meals a day, it feels like they don't even taste good.
A group of children went out to play. Although it was dark, there was nothing to worry about in the countryside. The older ones would take care of the younger ones.
So the women at the table continued to eat while talking, and the men continued to drink.
After a while, the woman finished eating, cleared the table, and went upstairs to chat, while the man was enjoying his drink.
"I'm going back to work after the new year. Are all the brothers looking good?" Seeing Zhou Ya and a group of women going upstairs, Xiao Wu took a sip of wine and said.
The trucking company they run has been doing very well this year, especially since they started online shopping, although it hasn't reached the point of setting up a courier company yet.
But looking at the entire Jiaocheng City, even including the nearby Chengwang City and Zhucheng City, his truck company is famous for its work.
Originally, Yangjiacun Shilibaxiang started its business by running large truck freight. This collection of resources was quite large, and it became famous as soon as it started. Naturally, the business was not very good.
The general also had shares in the company. At first, he did not plan to work in the county. Later, Daliang felt that if he did not help his cousin, his cousin would become farther and farther away from the circle in the future, so he asked him to buy a share later.
Later, working in the county town was not going well, so the general simply resigned and took a position at a trucking company.
As a result, his originally good work was ruined by his careless brother-in-law.
In the summer, due to good business, the truck company spent some money to buy a few large refrigerated trucks, and the business went to a new level.
His brother-in-law got him into this trucking company through all sorts of nudges from the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law.
He was quite honest at first, but within two months, because his brother-in-law was a shareholder and manager of the trucking company, his nature could no longer tolerate all kinds of arrogance and domineering, and he even accepted red envelopes from the truck driver before arranging freight work. Everything is done.
The salary of a truck driver is divided into two parts. One is the basic salary, which is guaranteed. No matter whether you have a job or not, you will not be hungry.
This provision can stabilize most truck drivers. After all, they can still get money when there is no cargo to haul.
The second part is to get commissions for selling sports cars. This part is that the salary can be tens of thousands, or even 20,000, which is the main component of high wages.
As for this sports car, the pulling work is different, and the commission will naturally be high or low. For example, the higher the value of the goods pulled, the higher the freight charges will naturally be. After all, the company will lose money if the goods are lost.
If the freight charges are high, the commission will naturally be higher, because the driver who lost the goods is jointly and severally liable.
However, even if there is joint and several liability, truck drivers are still willing to take goods with higher commissions, because the roads are basically familiar, and as long as they are serious and responsible, they will be fine. Naturally, everyone wants to earn more.
So Zhang Dong, the general's brother-in-law, made a fuss about this and even took a commission privately. He kept the money himself and left the delivery work to the company.
Including receiving red envelopes from the driver, this guy made 80,000 to 90,000 yuan in benefits in less than two months.
As a result, the matter was naturally exposed, and the general asked Zhang Dong to take out the money he was greedy for. As a result, this guy went to find his parents again, and then his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to the door and started making a fuss.
The enraged general immediately pulled out the brother-in-law and beat him up. The father-in-law and mother-in-law were frightened at that time...
Because of this incident, the general resigned from the trucking company. He originally said he would give up the shares. After all, this incident was too embarrassing. How could he have the shame to receive dividends at the end of the year? In the end, Xiao Wu blocked it.
Agree with him to go home and rest for a period of time. Shares will still be shares, and he will receive the amount of dividends he deserves at the end of the year.
The brother-in-law, who had been beaten, said he was unwilling to hand over the money he was greedy for. In the end, the general gritted his teeth and directly called the police, accusing his brother-in-law of committing a crime on duty.
The police came directly to his door and frightened his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
At this time, the matter would be resolved as soon as the money was withdrawn, and the general would scare the other party to make Zhang Dong remember it, and did not want to really send him to the prison cell. But his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't think so. They thought their son was greedy for money.
The trucking company earns several million a year, but it lacks the 89,000 for his own son? Moreover, my son was beaten to the point of being hospitalized.
So he gritted his teeth and sued the general's son-in-law, saying that he innocently beat others and maimed them, and even took his son to have his injuries examined.
In short, it is impossible to refund the greedy money. Not only will the money not be refunded, the general will also ask the general to pay for medical expenses, various nutritional expenses, and mental damage expenses of one million.
This made the general angry at that time, if not for the fact that Daliang and several others had the intention to kill him.
Then Zhang Jing went to the hospital and beat her brother in the hospital bed again in front of her parents. Then her parents sued her as well.
In the end, the matter really went to court, and the general was detained administratively for 15 days for beating him, and was compensated 60,000 yuan. Zhang Jing's beating was defined as a fight, and Zhang Dongshang was compensated 35,000 yuan because of his injuries.
After the penalty was imposed, the general directly gave 95,000 yuan to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Then the next day, Zhang Dong was detained as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. The trucking company directly accused the other party of economic crimes, and the evidence was very sufficient. The court directly sentenced him to two years and six months in prison.
The general's father-in-law and mother-in-law were naturally dissatisfied and appealed, and this time they found a good lawyer.
As a result, after the lawyer looked at various evidences, he told them the truth if the plaintiff did not withdraw the lawsuit. Even if he takes action, his son's sentence will start at least one year.
After all, the evidence of Zhang Dong's economic crimes was so strong that he couldn't help cover it up even if he wanted to.
At this time, the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law panicked and hurried over to ask for help.
As a result, the general was nowhere to be seen. After a few days of quarrels between these top parents in Yangjiacun, the second-instance court completed the trial and basically upheld the original verdict, but the sentence was reduced from two years and six months to one year and six months. .
The sudden reduction was so much because the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law realized the seriousness of the matter, compensated for the money their son had embezzled, and agreed to pay a fine of 50,000 yuan to obtain a reduced sentence with a good guilty plea.
The money was refunded and a fine was paid, but in the end he still had to go to jail. Naturally, the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law were unwilling, so they went through another hassle.
As a result, the general did not relent at all, and Zhang Jing was determined this time. I want to send my brother to school for a good education.
In the end, the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the general watched their son being sent to a prison cell. The daughter-in-law wanted to divorce and wanted to divide the property. The mother-in-law even cried, made trouble and hanged herself to death, but it was still in vain.
Finally, he directly said that he had never given birth to a daughter named Zhang Jing, and naturally he did not have an uncle called General.
Not to mention that the whole situation was messed up, the general became famous in every village in the country, and it could be said that he was completely disgraced.
"You don't have to go back to work." The general picked up the wine glass and drank the liquor in one gulp. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief. "My family still has a homestead at the end of the village. I plan to build a yard after the Chinese New Year. Get a B&B.
Zhang Jing has a classmate who feels that the investment environment here is good and is planning to build a clothing factory in the county. I am planning to take a share. When the time comes for various procedures and various departments to come to the dock, I will shamelessly ask the brothers here to help me. I will use my brothers in the future..."
"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about." Yang Dongxu glanced at him.
"We are brothers, don't talk about two families." Daliang patted the general on the shoulder.
There are some things that Yang Dongxu can say, Xiao Wu can say, but he cannot.
Because he and the general are cousins, he can help the general himself, but he cannot sit at the wine table to express his position and involve Yang Dongxu, Xiaowu and others.
Doing this is tantamount to putting Yang Dongxu and Xiao Wu on a par with each other. Anyone with any brain knows that this can easily offend people.
"Let Xiao Wu help with the procedures. He is also familiar with this aspect of starting a company. Take your eldest father (Dad Yang) to the dock. Burn the incense that should be burned in place. Then we will provide support policies for the garment factory. of."
Although Xiao Wu was able to get along well at the scene, his status was obviously not as good as that of Yang's father.
He took the general to make connections, and just said hello well, and there would be no trouble in running the clothing factory. If he wants supportive policies, bank loans, etc., this is beyond his ability.
It's different with Father Yang. The Yang family's status is here, and they burn incense very strictly. If they don't provide the support and loans they should have, this is obviously trying to find trouble with the Yang family. make life difficult for.
After all, everything in the process is in place, and you are not asked to do anything illegal beyond the scope of the process. You can handle the normal process. Isn't this looking for trouble?
And if you want to find fault with the Yang family...
"Thank you, thank you, don't say anything anymore, it's all in the wine." The general filled up another glass of white wine with envy and took a sip.
No one stopped me from drinking three drinks in a row. I should drink this drink. Although we are brothers, we must show the proper attitude.
"Okay, let's eat food. Who hasn't had something bad happen? My uncle..." Yang Dongxu paused and looked upstairs. His aunt was upstairs.
Seeing Yang Dongxu's expression, everyone else laughed, and the somewhat solemn atmosphere on the table was instantly wiped away.
That's right, who hasn't had a few embarrassing things happen?
These things that the general's brother-in-law was doing were nothing compared to the bad things that Uncle Yang Dongxu's victory was back then.
