Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The village has been discussing raising chickens these days.

At the beginning, some people came to Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua to borrow money, but after they were sent away by her, they stopped coming.

When the weather was fine, Zhang Xiuhua asked Youcai and Jidong to carry the racks out to dry the clothes and then ventilate the house.

She was sitting under a fruit tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air. Xu Chunying came in from outside, looking a little unhappy.

Zhang Xiuhua waved her fan and looked at her, "Who offended you?"

Xu Chunying sighed, "I just met Aunt Li Si and had a quarrel with her."

"Why?" Zhang Xiuhua was a little curious. Aunt Li was famous for her love of gossip, and Xu Chunying didn't like gossip either. Why did the two quarrel? Could it be that Aunt Li gossiped about Xu Chunying and she heard it?

Xu Chunying explained the whole story. It turned out that she heard Aunt Li Si telling the members not to invest in the chicken farm, lest it go to waste. In the end, all the money would go to the brigade cadres.

This is not what Aunt Li Si said randomly. In fact, everyone has a scale in their heart. Usually, when there is something good in the production team, the team cadres will take all the credit. When it comes to paying money, they will start to persuade the members.

It would be fine if the chicken farm doesn’t make money. If it does, how much profit it makes is up to the brigade cadres.

Why don't people trust the brigade cadres? No one is stupid. Living in a brigade, all the light work is divided up by the brigade cadres. When will it be the members' turn?

The rice popcorn sticks were praised to the sky and sent to the supply and marketing cooperative in the snow and ice. But what happened in the end? They said that kerosene was too expensive and they didn't make any money from the rice popcorn sticks. But their son got a lot of work points.

The members felt that they could not spend all their family savings this time no matter what.

Xu Chunying was looking forward to the success of the chicken farm in the village so that she could get a share of the money. When she heard that Aunt Li was slandering the brigade cadres, and her husband was one of them, she got angry and had a big fight with her.

Aunt Li Si can make the dead appear alive with her mouth. Xu Chunying is no match for her.

In the end, Xu Chunying was defeated. She came back angrily, "What she said was too heartbreaking. It was the team leader who led everyone to get rich together, but she said that! It's so heartless!"

Zhang Xiuhua said nothing. Trust is not something that can be gained through words, but through serving members day by day.

According to her, the brigade cadres in Lijiatun were moderate people. They were certainly a little greedy, but they were timid and didn't dare to be too greedy. But to say that they were wholeheartedly considering the members was a bit too much. In general, they opened the chicken farm to lead all the members to make money. Of course, if they made money, they would definitely be greedy.

Who would work for you in vain these days? These brigade cadres just replaced the key positions with their own family members, and Zhang Xiuhua felt that she could turn a blind eye.

As the two were talking, the team leader came in. His brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he was also worried about fundraising.

Zhang Xiuhua thought he was asking her for investment and was trying to find an excuse to turn him down.

Unexpectedly, the team leader asked about the loan, "We are taking out a loan for the entire production team, can the amount be increased?"

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't know. "Why don't you go to the bank and ask? It was Cai's father who handled our family's loan. I don't understand."

She felt that the loan amount was secondary, and the more important thing was the speed of loan disbursement. After all, Jianguo relied on connections to get the loan in advance, and the captain had no connections, so the loan disbursement speed would probably not be fast.

The captain was a little disappointed that he didn't get any useful information.

Zhang Xiuhua reminded him, "Even if they can relax the credit limit, have you considered the interest rate? Ten thousand yuan will cost you 600 yuan in interest."

The captain calculated carefully that a loan of 50,000 would mean an interest of 3,000. If he lost money, the compounded interest would also be a considerable amount. He sighed and left.

Xu Chunying looked at his back, with a look of sadness between her brows. "I think the chicken farm is going to fail!"

She was planning to make a fortune from the chicken farm, but she didn't expect that such a good way to make money would fail.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know what to say.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the captain came again and told her a very secret matter.

It turned out that someone reported to the commune that Zhang Xiuhua had a capitalist style, which was manifested in that she often ate meat at home.

The commune director called the team leader to inquire about the situation. The team leader told her that Zhang Xiuhua had raised a lot of chickens. He also had a ready-made excuse for her: "She raised too many chickens, and some of them died of heatstroke. It would be a pity to throw them away, so she stewed them herself."

When the director of the commune learned that Zhang Xiuhua had made money by supporting her family, he said that he would vigorously publicize her deeds and call on the members to raise more chickens, generate more income for the country, and learn from her.

The team leader asked her to prepare, perhaps the commune director would present her with a certificate of honor.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't feel honored, because the first bird to stick its head out gets hammered. Last time the brigade publicized her raising chickens to make money, she said she only got a small share, but someone still went to the commune to complain.

Jealousy can make a person completely unrecognizable and make him behave irrationally.

She remembered hearing a story in her previous life. A villager contracted a fish pond and suffered losses for three consecutive years. In the fourth year, the price of fish went up. He thought he could make a lot of money and make back all the losses of the previous three years. Unexpectedly, a jealous villager sprayed pesticides in the fish pond, and all the fish died.

She thought about it and realized that it would be too conspicuous for her to be the only one to get rich, so she decided to let the whole village share in the profits so that her chicken farm would be stable.

So she asked the captain, "How much money did you get when you went to the bank last time?"

"The maximum loan amount is 20,000 yuan." The captain sighed, "and the loan is very slow."

He had obviously also heard what the members were saying about the brigade cadres. The members did not trust them and were unwilling to empty their family savings. He could not force them, but he just felt it was a pity.

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you invest your money in my chicken farm?"

The captain's eyes lit up, "Can you do it?"

"It's not just me who owns this chicken farm. There are also several of Jianguo's comrades. They plan to build a chicken farm in their hometown. Most of the money I earned before was distributed to them. I'm short of money here." Zhang Xiuhua half-truthed. Anyway, the captain couldn't go to the south to find those patriotic comrades to confirm.

The captain asked the most crucial question, "How much can we occupy?"

Zhang Xiuhua asked him how much money he had?

The team leader only gave an approximate figure, "All members can raise 20,000 yuan."

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "Twenty thousand can be considered as 30% of your shares."

"Ah! Only 30%? Isn't that too low?!" The captain was a little unwilling.

Zhang Xiuhua could only give 30% of the money. "This equipment was paid for by Jianguo's comrades. The bulk of the money belongs to them. We only get less than 10%. If we give you too much, they may not agree to cooperate."

When the captain heard that they couldn't cooperate, he immediately panicked and gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay! I'll do as you say."

But he alone cannot agree to it, "I need to discuss it with several other brigade officers."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't care. "I'm helping you because we're from the same village. If you don't want to, I won't force you. I'll get a loan from the bank and I'll just pay the interest."
