Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Complaints

Sun Guodong didn’t go home, he went straight to the brigade office.

Sure enough, besides the old secretary, the village chief and accountant Qin Ming were both there.

Seeing Sun Guodong coming, Qin Ming nodded slightly and greeted him, “Back, was it smooth?”

“Pretty smooth, brought back three small trucks, two big liberation trucks, they’re at the vegetable market now, a lot of villagers gathered, all quite happy.”

As he said this, he glanced at the village chief who was puffing away at his dry tobacco.

Seeing that the village chief didn’t even give him a glance, just kept smoking sullenly, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger inside.

The village chief is a generation older than him, whether public or private matters, he couldn’t lose his temper at the village chief, he turned and looked at Qin Ming, with a tinge of complaint in his voice.

“I say, you’re seated here comfortably, the wholesale market also includes a part for our village, such a big deal over there, the villagers are all going to have a look, at least go and show your face for the excitement, who doesn’t know that the wholesale market was initially set up to serve our Qin Family Village?”

Qin Ming suffered an undeserved disaster, sneaking a glance at the village chief.

Seeing the village chief unresponsive, he responded, “I also want to see the excitement, if I were an ordinary villager, I’d have already gone, back when purchasing trucks, Manager Wang also contacted us, but we had no money, now that they’re buying on their own, we go to see the excitement, isn’t that letting them see our own excitement?”

“What’s there in our own excitement to watch?” Sun Guodong got even more angry upon hearing this, “I think you’re overthinking, they probably can’t wait to set up their own fleet, when does Mr. Lin do things at a loss? If they ask us, it means they value us…”

“Taps”, the village chief knocked his dry tobacco pouch on his shoe.

“Alright, you two should stop, I know what you two are complaining about me.”

Qin Ming awkwardly smiled, “Not… not really…”

Sun Guodong, straightforward, said, “Village Chief, I indeed can’t figure this out, the vegetable wholesale market setting up a fleet, the first beneficiaries are the villagers of our Qin Family Village, such a good thing why don’t you agree? Don’t say the village has no money, I know these years the village developed many sidelines, invested a lot in it, but if you tighten the belt, some can always be taken out, right? Moreover, Manager Wang said it was under the wholesale market’s name, not entirely the village’s expense, the wholesale market is still half Xiyang, even if the village can’t contribute more money, based on Mr. Lin’s manner, won’t just abandon us to go solo.”

Qin Ming nodded continuously beside him.

He is the nephew from the village chief’s family, him being accountant is arranged because of family grounds, so in decision-making, he unconditionally supports the village chief.

If it weren’t for this, he would have asked these questions by now.

He is the village accountant, no one knows the village’s income and expenses better than him.

Just like Sun Guodong mentioned, the village funds are limited, but pulling together with Xiyang for a fleet, money can still be raised.

Quietly, the village chief loaded another bowl of dry tobacco into the pipe.

The pipe was held in the mouth, he struck a match, clicked a few times at the corner of the mouth, lit the tobacco, then supported the tobacco pouch with one hand, speaking softly.

“Guodong, today you went with them to pick up the car, you know how much those cars cost right?”

“Yes,” precisely because he knew, Sun Guodong felt indignant.

As he said, squeezing the village belt could indeed raise those funds.

The village chief further asked Qin Ming, “How much would you say those belt-tightening funds are?”

Qin Ming moved his lips, but finally didn’t speak.

The village chief snorted, “What’s up, these years of village development have made you all drift? A few tens of thousands are nothing to you now? Go look at other villages, can other villages even have 1000 bucks on their books? Can they have a few hundred? Us being developed to this stage, is it not satisfying enough?”

Sun Guodong felt the village chief was swapping concepts, “I am not dissatisfied, setting up the fleet was originally for the villagers’ benefit…”

“For the villagers’ benefit there are many things, as village cadres we indeed need to consider villagers’ interests in every aspect, to live up to their trust.”

The village chief took a few puffs of his tobacco, lifting his head, meeting Sun Guodong’s gaze.

That gaze clearly writes, since considering the villagers, why refuse to establish the fleet.

He sighed, “I know you young folks have high ambitions, it’s also seeing Qin Family makes money you get tempted…”

“I don’t…” Sun Guodong and Qin Ming retorted simultaneously.

The village chief waved, “I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice, this matter I see clearly, you don’t hurry to retort, listen to me finish.

You also saw, Qin Yang’s wife is ambitious, from selling buns, then opening a bun shop, then food factory, chicken farm, vegetable market, I heard she even has a shopping mall garment factory in the city, anything she doesn’t want to do?”

Sun Guodong narrowed his eyes, patiently listening to the village chief.

Inside, though, kept refuting: they handle so many things, it shows capability, others want to do it, can they?

They handle so much without flinching, pulling us together to set up a fleet, not asking for money, giving us a chance to earn.

Without Mr. Lin, could Qin Family Village be like today?

The village chief continued, “Today she can set up a fleet, tomorrow still pulling the village along for something, should the village follow? I am the village chief, responsible for over 1000 people in Qin Family Village, developed to this point, yearly books have income of several ten thousand, that’s top in Ancheng County.

I know these words may not settle you, let me talk about something else, after Qin Jiang quit his job as the village’s chicken farm manager, you also know what he went to do right?”

Not only them, but the whole village knows.

Qin Jiang was the village chicken farm manager, during harvest this year, suddenly quit, started a chicken farm with his own brother-in-law.

This thing, villagers have said various things.

“Today he can dump the village, tomorrow others can too, dump it, walk away, they can ignore village industry, ignore thousand villagers of Qin Family, but I can’t ignore, money on the books is the whole village’s security, I can’t let villagers who just started living well instantly lose it again.”

“How can it be lost?” Sun Guodong disagreed, “Setting up a fleet, one side facilitates village vegetables transport outside on one side, it’s also profitable, don’t trust Wang Cheng, trust in Lin Chuxia?”
