When Zhang Dachuan heard this, he was immediately surprised:
"Huang Guofu is paying land rent? Isn't it the end of the year yet? What kind of money is he paying?"
Yang Huaijun hurriedly said:
"Dachuan, there are rumors that Huang Guofu wants to rent land on a larger scale. By doing this, it is clear that he wants the remaining people in our village to contract all the land to him!"
Zhao Yumin added next to him:
"More than that, I think he wants to kill you and make you lose your prestige in the village!"
After Zhang Dachuan heard this, he smiled instead of getting angry:
"It's interesting, who does Huang Guofu think he is? The Fang family can't do anything to get me, but he dares to jump out and fight with me. Come on, let's take a look!"
With that said, the three of them hurried to the junction of the two villages.
…
At the land border between Lingshui Village and Xiushan Village, a large group of people gathered, including villagers from Lingshui Village and Xiushan Village.
At this moment, in the center of the crowd, Huang Guofu and his wife Liu Xique were sitting behind a large table, handing out land contract money to their villagers.
They placed stacks of hundred-dollar bills in front of them, and pretended to place computers and registration forms on them.
All around, the villagers of Lingshui Village were standing there obediently, looking eagerly at the money on the table with curiosity and expectation.
Huang Guofu put a pair of reading glasses on his nose and held a list in a polite manner.
Every time he read a name, Liu Xique next to him would make calculations according to the records in the ledger, and then count the money and settle the accounts on the spot.
"Huang Family Industry, thirteen thousand and eighty."
"Huang Jianye, 20,000."
"Zhang Xiaoqi, fifteen thousand."
…
Following Huang Guofu's melodious announcement, the villagers of Lingshui Village whose names were read out immediately stepped forward, took a sum of money from Liu Xique's hand, and returned to the crowd happily.
The feeling of getting real money made these people overjoyed, and also made other onlookers jealous.
Among them, the villagers of Xiushan Village are particularly affected.
Some people looked at the villagers of Lingshui Village who were receiving money with jealousy, and couldn't help but calculate in a low voice:
"With the 20,000 yuan for the rented land, plus the work under Huang Guofu, the family will probably have 70,000 to 80,000 yuan for the whole year."
Someone else immediately added:
"I can't stop watching it. I heard that there are two or even three members of a family working under Huang Guofu. After all, the family has spent 100,000 or more."
In the crowd, there was an air-conditioned "hiss" sound immediately.
Nowadays, there are many villagers in Xiushan Village working in Zhang Dachuan's ecological construction base. Their monthly wages are four to five thousand, but these people are the mainstay of the family. Apart from them, other people in the family are not like this. High income.
So no matter how you calculate it, they can't make 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year.
In comparison, working under Zhang Dachuan is not as good as working under Huang Guofu.
The reason for this is that when Zhang Dachuan originally contracted the land, no one had received the dividends he promised to everyone.
The villagers in Xiushan Village watched in silence, and many of them already had their own plans in mind.
At this moment, Zhang Dachuan arrived at the scene.
Seeing the formation put up by Huang Guofu and his wife in the crowd, and the expressions on the faces of the surrounding villagers, Zhang Dachuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
In previous years, Huang Guofu's land rent money was settled at the end of the year. Most people only paid a few thousand yuan. How could it be so much this year?
If one or two thousand dollars is thrown away, the effect will be completely different from one or two thousand dollars.
Originally, Zhang Dachuan was still confident that the villagers would not waver, but looking at the current situation, if he did not come back this time, he was afraid that his home would be stolen by Huang Guofu, an old fox!
Huang Guofu saw Zhang Dachuan through the thick spectacles. He couldn't help but sneer triumphantly, and immediately winked at Li Que in the crowd.
Li Que immediately understood. He coughed and asked loudly:
"Uncle Huang, in previous years you settled the accounts at the end of the year. How come you have changed your gender this year and you are settling the accounts before the end of the year?"
When Huang Guofu heard this, he immediately laughed and raised the account book in his hand:
"In the past, I had tight funds. I harvested sorghum in the middle of the year and had to use money to invest in the second crop, so I could only postpone the settlement until the end of the year."
"But this year the weather has been good, the sorghum harvest is good, and the market price of sorghum is much better than in previous years. I have more money on hand. I don't have to wait for the funds to come back, so I can pay now."
After speaking, he looked around and said loudly and impassionedly:
"In previous years, I, Huang Guofu, rented land from everyone and received a lot of kindness from you. This year I made money, so I wanted to give back to everyone."
"So, the money distributed this time is a little more than before, so everyone deserves the extra money. Don't be embarrassed."
When Li Que heard this, he immediately took the lead in applauding.
Other people in Lingshui Village also clapped.
"Well done Murazhang!"
"Village Chief Huang is angry!"
Huang Guofu immediately stood up with a smile and said righteously:
"You don't have to do this. As the village chief of Lingshui Village, I have the responsibility to lead everyone towards common prosperity. If you give me a trust, I will repay you very much."
"I'm not like some people who are not pragmatic and can only draw unrealistic cakes to deceive people. When I, Huang Guofu, make money, I make money. If I don't make money, I don't make money."
Huang Guofu's words were both true and false, and they were righteous, but they deceived many villagers who didn't know what was going on.
Because of Zhang Dachuan's competition with the Fan family in Bailong City, coupled with the popularity of Supreme Suchun Wine, the price of sorghum in the surrounding areas of Bailong City has soared, and Huang Guofu has indeed made a lot of profits from this.
But what the villagers didn't know was that the villagers from Lingshui Village who came to collect the money at this time were actually all relatives and friends of Huang Guofu's village.
He is using his own money and his own people to openly stage a fake show of "Huang Dashan is showing his kindness".
Moreover, the money received by Huang Jianye and others also included some balance payments that he had not settled last year - the two years of land rent were added together to arrive at the amount of more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan on the book.
The reason why Huang Guofu did this was of course to defraud more farmland from the villagers of Xiushan Village before Zhang Dachuan took action.
First, set the price higher, set up a group of good people, and then let one of his own, Li Que, spread the word below. He didn't believe that no one would take the bait.
Anyway, when the time comes, he will secretly add some impossible conditions when filling out the contract. When the settlement is made at the end of the year, he will have plenty of opportunities to lower the price.
First trick people into getting into the car, and then show your fangs.
By the time those honest villagers found out that they had been deceived, the contract had already been written in black and white. What else could they do?
