Chapter 129: admit mistake

Chapter 129: Admit your mistake

Grandpa San was surprised. He didn't expect that the village chief He came to admit his mistake.

The village chief has always been the most powerful person in every village, and everyone in the village must respect him. Even if the village chief does something wrong, he will not admit it. But village chief He actually came to the door to admit his mistake in person. This is really...

Grandpa San didn’t know what to say.

But the family still wanted to live in the village, and they would need the help of Village Chief He in the future, so they said: "Village Chief, this is the fault of the Lu family, and it has nothing to do with you. The matter is in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."

Gu Jinli grinned, and continued what Third Grandpa said: "Yeah, you don't have to worry about it. With Jiang County Lieutenant and Uncle Shang here, the Lu family can't bully us."

 She wanted to tell Village Chief He not to think that after admitting his mistake, he would be able to get benefits from his family. They were no longer able to make a living and rely on them when they had just escaped from the famine.

Village Chief He heard this and felt even more regretful. He should have listened to Okura and established good relations with several companies earlier. Now that Qin Gu, Luotian and his family have joined the Shang family and Jiang Xianwei, the He family is no longer that important to them.

 But things have come to this, and Village Chief He can only regret it.

After a while, he forced himself to tell his purpose: "Dafeng Village is poor, and the He family is even poorer. They don't have much craftsmanship or livelihood. I thought that we are all from the same village, and your family's tofu is selling well, so I gave up this family. Mr. Zhang came here and wanted to tell you on behalf of the villagers whether the tofu and seasonings can be sold to the He family, so that they can be sold in various villages and towns to make some money."

Village Chief He originally wanted the Gu family to sell the tofu to them at a low price, but after seeing the contract in Lianghe Village, he couldn't do this.

Although they are from the same village, people in their village often bully the Qin Gu Luotian family. These families have climbed up to the county captain. It is good that they have not settled accounts with them. How can he have the nerve to let the Gu family sell tofu at a low price? them.

He Dacang wanted to do this business and immediately said: "Uncle Gu, Brother Dashan, and niece Xiaoyu, don't worry, our He family really wants to do this business with you. For the sake of your fellow villagers, please mix some tofu and spices Come out and sell it to us.”

He Jinsheng felt a little uncomfortable watching his grandfather and father pleading with the Gu family, but he couldn't help, so he could only stand with his head lowered and say nothing.

The Third Grandpa was very embarrassed after hearing what Village Chief He and his son said: "We have limited manpower and can only make so much tofu a day. We have already given 500 kilograms to Lianghe Village, and we still have to leave some of the tofu to sell at the stall. It's really hard." It’s hard to give you accurate words.”

He Dachang was in a hurry: "Uncle Gu, we don't want too much, just give us some."

It is not a secret that Liang Zhuzhu and the others carried tofu to sell. A little inquiry can tell. He heard that they made a lot of money, and he was very envious and anxious.

Third Grandpa couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli thought for a moment and said: "Village Chief He, Uncle Dacang, spring plowing is about to begin, and our family is really busy. However, if you want to start this business, you can do it, but we don't have much tofu. We can give it to you every day." How much depends on the situation and we have the final say.”

Since their family still wants to live in Dafeng Village, the Lu family is already at odds with each other. The He family should win over them if they can. Only by winning over the He family can the Lu family be isolated.

Village Chief He frowned, but still said: "It should be, after all, you don't have enough manpower."

Gu Jinli added: "Although we are from the same village, we are brothers who have settled accounts. If you want to make a living in this business, you must sign a contract like Lianghe Village and act in accordance with the contract. If you violate the contract, we will see you at the Yamen."

Village Chief He was shuddered and somewhat repelled. Why does this girl from the Gu family like to report to the government so much?

He looked at the third grandfather and asked, "Brother Gu thinks so too?"

Third Grandpa smiled and nodded: "Well, Xiaoyu has the final say on this tofu business."

Village Chief He was surprised. He knew that the little girl from the Gu family had some abilities, but he didn't expect that she could be the master of this tofu business.

There was no other way. After thinking for a while, he could only agree: "Okay, let's sign the contract." Gu Jinan was not at home, so He Jinsheng wrote the contract.

Gu Jinli recited one sentence and He Jinsheng wrote one.

This contract was similar to the one signed by Liang Zhuzi and others. After writing it, Village Chief He asked He Jinsheng to read the contract several times, and then pressed his fingerprints on behalf of the He family.

The contents of this contract are almost all beneficial to the Gu family, but as long as they don't make mistakes when buying tofu, nothing will actually happen.

Village Chief He put aside his dissatisfaction and said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, we will come to get the tofu tomorrow."

Third Grandpa nodded: “Okay, but we’ll see how much we can get tomorrow.”

 The contract did not say how much tofu would be sold to the He family. It only said that the Gu family would give it as much as the He family would give, and the He family would not have any objection.

Although this contract is a bit overbearing, tofu is in short supply and sells very well. However, Village Chief He and the others only ask the Gu family to sell the tofu for them and make them money. They can ignore other details.

After the tofu matter was settled, Village Chief He sat at Gu's house for a while until Gu Jinan came home.

Village Chief He saw Gu Jinan and said with a smile: "Brother An is back. I heard that he is studying with a scholar. He is really promising."

When Gu Jinan saw Village Chief He, he was stunned for a moment, walked over, bowed to Village Chief He, and shouted: "Village Chief, Uncle Dacang."

Village Chief He saw that Gu Jinan looked well and behaved well. He nodded with satisfaction, pointed at He Jinsheng and said: "This is your eldest brother Jinsheng. He is sixteen this year, one year older than you, and he is also studying."

Gu Jinan looked at He Jinsheng, smiled and shouted: "Brother Jinsheng."

He Jinsheng bowed his hands to Gu Jinan and replied: "Brother An."

Grandpa brought him to the Gu family today so that he could become friends with Gu Jinan.

Grandpa said that Gu Jinan became Shang Xiucai's husband. Shang Xiucai was not only knowledgeable, but also the son-in-law of the county captain. If he could make good friends with Gu Jinan, he could go to Shang Xiucai's house in the future, and maybe even go to the county captain's house to meet him. The county captain is very good to him.

He Jinsheng didn't like this. In the past, his grandfather asked him to play with the grandchildren of the Lu family, but those brothers from the Lu family would only bully him.

Village Chief He didn't care what He Jinsheng thought. He stood up and said to the third grandfather: "Okura and I are going back first. Jin Sheng and An Ge'er are about the same age and they are both studying. Let Jin Sheng and An Ge'er discuss it." Knowledge, I’ll go back later.”

He Jinsheng had no choice but to stay.

After village chief He returned home, he asked He Dacang to send a message to a few honest people in the He family, asking them to come to their homes and tell them about the tofu business.

As soon as He Dacang called those families, the news spread throughout the village like the wind. The entire He family was shocked, jealous and unwilling, and they all rushed to the head of the village.
