Chapter 42
"Brother Fukuda! Are you at home?"

Early in the morning, the village chief came to Qi's house.

"Sit in the village chief's house." Qi Futian greeted him.

"Stop sitting! Did your wife tell you about that?" the village head asked straight to the point.

"I've said it. No problem. Village chief, go door-to-door to collect the money first, and we'll make up for the shortfall." Qi Futian said.

"That's right! Brother Futian is an open-minded person! Let me thank you on behalf of the whole village!"

The village head happily patted Qi Futian on the shoulder, turned and left.

"village head……"

Suddenly, Qi Futian called out to the village head.

"Is there something wrong?" The village chief turned around, looking a little nervous.

He was afraid that Qi Futian would change his mind.

Qi Futian took two steps forward, bit his lower lip, and said, "Village Chief, everyone can help a good gang, and it's hard for one person to help everyone! Try to charge as much as possible for each household. You see, even if one household has more than one If I charge one yuan, I will pay 200 yuan less. It is not easy for me, and I am not willing to spend the money! Look at my three dilapidated thatched houses, they are about to collapse, and they need to be repaired..."

The village chief nodded, "Don't worry! Brother! I will try my best to persuade everyone to pay more. Your house should be repaired as soon as it needs to be repaired. You must not ask you to sacrifice yourself for everyone."

"Then, thank you village chief!"

"Why are you thanking me? The whole village should thank you! Go back!" The village chief smiled and waved.

Qi Futian's heart finally fell down.

In his eyes, the village chief is a man who keeps his word, and he always keeps his word.

The village head is also a prestigious person, everyone will listen to his words, and the money collected by each household will not be less.

I am too worried.

……

"Is there anyone in Lao Li's house?" The village head walked from the west end of the village!

He took the cashier in the village and came to collect the money himself.I feel that if I come forward, everyone will pay more to save face.

"Ah! The village chief is here! Come on! Sit in the house." Li's daughter-in-law welcomed the village chief into the house.

The man from the Li family rolled a dry cigarette and handed it to the village chief, "Smok a cigarette! My family will have a good harvest of tobacco leaves this year!"

The village head took a puff of the cigarette, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Lizi! I am here to collect money today. You have heard the broadcast in the village! It is imminent to replace the equipment of the mill. Each household only needs to pay 5 yuan, and you will be able to pay the bills." Buy new equipment!"

Li's daughter-in-law took up the quarrel, "It's easy for you to say, the village chief. For our family, 5 yuan is the straw that broke the camel's back. To tell you the truth, my family now only pays 5 yuan in total. We're going to drink the wind!"

The first household hit a snag, and the village chief frowned.

Take a few puffs of the cigarette, pinch it out.said:
"I don't know if you settle accounts? In the rice mill in our village, each household charges 2 yuan a year. You can grind as much as you want, and you can also pay on credit, and it is convenient at home. If the equipment in our village cannot be replaced, you I have to go to the neighboring village to grind rice, and I need a donkey cart to pull it over. The fees are too expensive and I can’t get credit. Think about it, which one is economical?”

The man from the Li family nodded, "That's the reason, the key is that you can't afford the money!"

"Then why don't you take some less first? You have to make up the same amount!" The village chief sighed.

The man from the Li family looked at his wife, "Then let's pay 2 yuan!"

Li's daughter-in-law reluctantly took out 2 yuan, "It's over now, and I have no money to buy salt!"

The village chief left Li's house and went to Shuangxi's house next door.

After a good meal to do the work, the happy mothers only took out one yuan.

I spent a whole morning talking and talking, but the money collected was pitifully small.

Passing by the door of Dajiajiao's house, he didn't intend to go in, thinking that this woman would not pay a penny, and he didn't want to waste time.

Unexpectedly, Dajiali saw him. After asking about the situation, Dajiali took out 5 yuan.

This is the only one that the village chief took out 5 yuan after leaving so many households.

People are indeed changing. The ectopic pregnancy of Chili Pepper almost didn't die, but thanks to Qi Kexin for saving her, she has been grateful ever since, and looked down on everything other than life and death.

After walking for two days in a row, all 200 households were finally gone.A total of 200 yuan was collected, and the average household only received one yuan.

The village head is in trouble.

If you buy new equipment, the gap is 800 yuan, and it is really unreasonable to ask Qi Futian to make up the 800 yuan gap.

If it is not replaced, the equipment will not survive for a few days.

In the end, he decided to talk to Qi Futian.

I'm sorry to have to say it with a thick skin, after all, only his family in the whole village can come up with this money.After all, it is imminent for Mill Mill to update its equipment.

"The village chief is here! Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, eat here!" When he came to Qi's house again, Qi's family was having dinner.

"Eat it! Eat it! I'll go outside to smoke a pipe." The village head retreated to the yard of Qi's house, squatted on the ground and lit a cigarette.

Qi Futian and his wife came out and advised him to go inside and eat more.

"It's time for dinner! Let's just eat it! I made sorghum rice porridge today!" Cui said.

Qi Futian grabbed the village head's arm and told him to come in and have a bowl of porridge.

The couple knew why he came, but neither of them mentioned it.

They had guessed from the gloomy face of the village head that the charges would not go well, and they were also secretly calculating whether to accept such a result.

"I've really eaten! Hurry up and eat in the house. After eating, come over and let's check things."

"That's good. Sit down and rest for a while." Mrs. Cui brought a small bench to the village chief.

How can Qi Futian and his wife be in the mood to eat when they enter the house?The two quietly came to the north room to discuss.

"His dad! The situation is not good. I don't think the village chief has received half of the 1000 yuan equipment. What should I do?"

Qi Futian nodded, "Actually, I already estimated that he won't get much money."

"Then why did you promise him that day?"

"I was thinking that he gave me millet, and we supported Fubao with that bowl of millet. When Fubao first came back, our family didn't have a single grain of rice, and the rice given by the village chief was just a helping hand! Other people Come and talk to me about this, and you didn't discuss it at all! But the village chief is different!"

Choi is silent!The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, she understands this truth.

But the money was about to be donated before it was warmed up in her hands, and she felt uncomfortable after all the fuss and joy.

Qi Futian knew that his wife felt uncomfortable, and the money from selling wild ginseng had not been spent where it should have been spent by the family!Just donate it like this, and it will be hard for anyone to let it go.

But now he can't do it if he is asked to go back on his word.A man must keep his word, even if he suffers a big loss, he has no choice but to admit it!
He then began to persuade his wife:

"Damn it! The village chief can take some, but we still have some left over. Think about it, we only had 5 yuan a week ago, and now even if we only have 200 yuan left, it will be dozens of dollars better than a week ago." Times. Are you right?"

He patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder, and then persuaded: "Don't count it as gain or loss! This money is considered as a favor to the village chief, okay? Favor debt is also a debt! If you pay the debt, you will be light!"

Cui nodded, "Yeah! I listen to you."
