Chapter 154
Zhu Jing continued to stir up troubles about Lin Tian in front of Li Daniu.
"Brother Niu, you are still domineering enough. Have you seen that boy? He is from Linjiacun, and he used dirty tricks to steal my business before.
That Pei Lei from Li Palace obeyed him and gave him all the orders. This guy is very good at deceiving women, and I'm afraid he wants to get involved in our village's business. You can't underestimate such a villain."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that Li Aiqi used to play tricks on him. She didn't even touch him when she was with him. He wore a few cuckolds. He is a coward to death."
If a hot-blooded young man heard such words that insulted a man's dignity, he would definitely get violent and hit someone.
However, Lin Tian didn't care.
Li Aiqi was already a dead person to him. If someone hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about this person.
For Lin Tian, the past is past, especially the people who betrayed him are like dead.
Originally, the two of them thought that Lin Tian would react. Who knew Lin Tian would do whatever he wanted to do, and he was very calm.
They will not give up so easily. Both of them have been in society for many years and have many years of experience in wrangling.
"I heard that he packed the sweet potatoes from the field, and it is very likely that he will slowly come to Sanhe Village and run wild next."
"Huh! Some people think they have read a few books and think they are great. If they want to do something against me, it depends on whether his life is enough."
Zhu Jing brought Li Daniu to perform a double act, just to use words to arouse Lin Tian's anger and make him take the initiative.
Once he takes action, it will be over for Lin Tian. If you beat someone on the ground in Sanhe Village, no one can save him.
The two stood there and said provocative words for a long time, and even Lin Tian felt embarrassed for them.
Who is this play for?
Anyway, if he didn't cooperate with their performance, he would just treat it like watching a monkey perform.
After all, these two people are too idle.
During this period, many people from Sanhe Village passed by the roadside. When they saw Zhu Jing and Li Daniu standing together, they greeted them warmly. To them, these two people were the gods of wealth, and they all rushed to make friends with them.
.
Finally, someone arrived and caused quite a stir.
He was a simple-looking man with a shaved head, dark skin, and strong muscles. He looked like he often did manual labor.
The man rushed towards Zhu Jing as soon as he arrived.
"Mr. Zhu, you are here. I have had such a hard time looking for you!"
Zhu Jing's face suddenly turned cold when he saw the person coming.
He said to Li Daniu: "I didn't read the almanac today. It's unlucky to go out and meet so many people."
Li Daniu looked at the man and said nothing.
The man only had Zhu Jing in his eyes. He walked straight towards Zhu Jing and said with a grimace: "Mr. Zhu, you said you paid me the wages for the past six months at the beginning of last month, and now you still don't pay me at the end of the month?"
You didn't listen when I called you. My people have urged me several times.
If you don’t pay me, I will have no choice but to lend them money to pay my wages. That’s a high-interest loan. If you don’t pay me, I won’t even be able to pay back the interest. You can’t do this to me!”
Zhu Jing put his arms around his shoulders and said condescendingly: "Ah Mao, can you not be so stubborn? I told you that I have no money. What's the point of pestering me?"
Amao looked like he was about to cry.
"I'm just here to ask exactly when you can give me the money? You can't just send me away just because you don't have the money. I've come all the way here, and you can't give me an answer no matter what.
What can I say? After working with you for so many years, you have to give me an explanation.
I can't come here to find you all day, I have to work too.
Now, you don't have much work here, and you don't get any money. Many people have no confidence in me and don't plan to work with me anymore. If this continues, the team I worked so hard to form will be disbanded."
Amao's words, which were full of runny nose and tears, were only exchanged for Zhu Jing's words of dismissal.
"It's none of my business. You can't do it yourself, so you're relying on me?"
Zhu Jing made it clear that he would not pay him any money and would ignore him and default on his debt.
Lin Tian heard the conversation between the two and asked Li Lizhen gossipingly.
"Sister Lizhen, what is going on?"
Li Lizhen lowered her voice and said: 'That man is Xu Mao from Niujiao Village. He formed a work team and led a group of workers to work. In the past, he often worked under Zhu Jing.
I heard that after Zhu Jing had no business, he owed their work team a large sum of money and failed to pay it off, so Xu Mao came to collect the debt from him."
Li Xiaobo also said something.
"Even I have seen Xu Mao come to the village to look for Zhu Jing. Zhu Jing avoided him and made it clear that he did not want to pay back the money. He is very good at deceiving people."
Li Lizhen continued what Li Xiaobo said.
"Xu Mao is a well-known honest man. He recovered from a strange illness not long ago. His family owed a large amount of money. He finally recovered and continued to work. Unexpectedly, it took him so long
, even if you don’t get the money, you still have to repay it.”
Lin Tian thought thoughtfully, there was such a thing, he underestimated Zhu Jing's bad character.
What made him curious was that Xu Mao had formed a work team to help people with farm work.
This model is very good. If Lintian had such a work team, it would be more effective with less effort.
Nowadays, the people hired by Lintian to do the work are all done by individual households, and they are all done by villagers. Sometimes it is difficult to say anything, and the efficiency will be slightly lower. However, it can be regarded as increasing the income of the village, and Lintian will not care so much.
However, if his business grows in the future, he will need such a professional team to do farm work everywhere on his behalf.
People in the work team will be more professional.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked at Xu Mao with intense eyes.
Xu Mao almost knelt down in front of Zhu Jing, his eyes were red with anxiety.
"Mr. Zhu, you really can't fool me this time. I've made several trips to find you, but I haven't done any work this month. I've only come here to collect debts.
If this continues, I won't be able to live my life anymore. My wife often calls me useless, and loan sharks will come after me? Just treat me as a pity and give me as much as you have."
These days, the debtors are the boss.
Lin Tian quite recognized Xu Mao as a person who was responsible and shouldered the debt alone so as not to embarrass his workers.
Zhu Jing paid attention to him, and Xu Mao looked at Li Daniu and said to him: "Mr. Li, you are here, help me evaluate the situation, and help me persuade Mr. Zhu that the debt will eventually be repaid."
Li Daniu spit on the ground.
"Bah! I don't care about your business? Go find him! It's not like I owe you money."
Xu Mao wanted to cry but had no tears.
When you work for people in rural areas, you are inherently a vulnerable group. You don't sign any formal contracts when working. It depends on mutual trust.
After working so hard all year round, no matter how hard it is, all they get are debts and disapproval from others, and no one cares about their rights and interests.
