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

The chicken farm was jointly owned by three production teams, but the team leader could not make the decision alone, so he called the team leaders of the other two villages to discuss the matter together.

When they learned that Li Jianxin's commission was only one cent, they were immediately opposed by the other two.

The captain of Zhangjiatun came up with an idea, "Since they are giving gifts, we should give gifts too."

Captain Xu Jiatun also felt that there was no need to give such a high commission. "It's just a gift. Everyone can do that."

So in the next few days, Zhang Xiuhua heard that several salesmen in the village spent one or two hundred yuan just on gifts.

Sales did increase, but new problems arose.

Some production teams started selling their chickens on the black market when they couldn’t sell them. Originally, the price of chickens sold on the black market could be doubled without tickets, but in order to sell them quickly, they sold them at a price lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The director of the supply and marketing cooperative was the first to quit and reported the matter to the commune leaders.

The director of the commune must be in charge. After all, this could lead to speculation and profiteering. If the matter is reported to the county head, his position will be unstable. He immediately went to the countryside to inspect and talked with the heads of several chicken farms. They agreed that the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county must set the same quantity and price for each chicken farm. They could sell on the black market, but they had to add 20 cents to the price.

The commune director has spoken, and the people below have no choice but to agree.

Now, I can only sell more than 300 chickens a day. Even if I go to the black market and sell them hard, I can't sell more than 400 chickens.

The team leader then called together the team leaders of two other production teams to discuss going to the next county to sell chickens.

But how to go and who to send was a very unpleasant issue this time.

As team leaders, they know more about the outside world than the members. There are road robbers in many places now. With so many chickens, a truck would have to carry at least a thousand chickens, which would cost several thousand yuan. What if the chickens were stolen? And what if someone got hurt?

These are very real problems.

The three team leaders had been arguing over this matter for days, and they were all arguing with each other. Just then, they heard that the team leader of Zhoujia Village had already found a car from the brick kiln factory and set off.

Now they stopped arguing. Ten strong laborers, three salesmen and two production team leaders from each village set out.

When Zhang Xiuhua learned the news, the car had already set off.

Because the brick kiln factory had only two tractors, Zhoujia Village borrowed one, leaving only one. If it was a step later, the other production team would have borrowed it.

Li Jianxin came to deliver soybeans after selling tofu. Zhang Xiuhua told him about this.

Li Jianxin sneered, "Three production teams are raising chickens together, but without a leader, there will inevitably be disputes."

Zhang Xiuhua had anticipated that the chicken farm they set up would cause a lot of trouble, but she didn't expect these people to be so incompetent.

He clearly has no ability, but he shouts louder than anyone else, as if his voice is louder, so he can be more reasonable than others.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiuhua has always been the one in charge of her chicken farm. Others are just investors and only hold 30% of the shares.

After she finished her complaints, Aunt Wang came over, looking a little worried, because Uncle Wang was also going to sell chickens with her.

However, she came here not because she was worried about Uncle Wang, but because she was worried that she would not be able to make a profit this time.

Her excuse was also ready. She spent more than a thousand dollars on gifts alone. In addition, she had to buy diesel and borrow tractors, which also cost money. Especially since so many people were on a business trip this time. I heard that everyone was paid, and it was based on a standard of two dollars a day.

The price cannot be low. After all, we have to go to the next county, which is a long way and our safety is not guaranteed.

Li Jianxin was shocked. "Two yuan per person, 45 people went, which is equivalent to 90 yuan a day. It takes at least three days to go back and forth, which is 279 yuan. It's much more expensive than hiring me."

That’s right. Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianxin to help with sales, and it only cost a little over nine hundred yuan in total.

But Zhang Xiuhua said, "This is a different time. Last year we had no problem selling our chickens, but this year it's different."

Aunt Wang sighed, "It would be great if there were broiler chickens that can withstand cold and heat."

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "Maybe in the future? But now... there really isn't."

Aunt Wang chatted with them for a few minutes and then left.

She still had to continue raising chickens. After that she had to prepare to hatch the chicks.

After Aunt Wang left, the team leader came with his pipe. He was worried that something might happen to those people on the road, and only after asking Xiuhua did he feel at ease.

"Xiuhua, is your chicken farm okay?" asked the team leader.

"It's okay. I don't raise broiler chickens." Zhang Xiuhua smiled.

"It's hot in the summer, and you have to gather all your chickens together. What are you going to do?" The team leader also invested a lot of money in Zhang Xiuhua's chicken farm. If he can't make money from broiler chickens, he will have to rely on laying hens.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "Jianguo has already helped me get an electric fan. It won't heat them up."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

After asking, he reflected on himself, "I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have raised so many chickens. I didn't expect that sales would become a problem."

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't say, "You are really brainless. You only care about the beginning and not the end." That would offend the captain.

She smiled and said, "You want to lead everyone to get rich together, for the sake of the members. I just want to avoid making mistakes so that people won't blame me. My vision is not as good as yours."

The captain was satisfied.

Zhuzhu looked at her mother in surprise several times, not understanding why her mother lied with her eyes open.

In the evening, Zhuzhu asked Zhang Xiuhua this question.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "This is a book about emotional intelligence that I read recently. It talks about how to improve people's emotional intelligence. After all, the team leader is the leader of the entire production team. We will need him in the future, so there is no need to offend him too much."

Zhuzhu seemed to be thinking about something.

In the next two days, the team leader kept coming to see Zhang Xiuhua, not for any reason, but just to chat and ask her if everything was going well.

According to the plan, he should have returned in three days, but in fact, there was still no movement on the fourth day.

Now not only the team leader was anxious, but even the members were starting to get anxious.

When he caught the captain, he asked, "Captain, when will my man come back?"

"Nothing will happen to my baby's father, right?"

"I heard that things are not peaceful out there, there are bandits blocking the road and robbing people, will they steal the chickens?!"

At first the captain tried to comfort them, but his words were like sparks falling into a pile of firewood and quickly caught fire.

The women urged the captain to find a solution quickly.

What could the team leader do? He wasn't a jack of all trades, and there was no telephone installed in the entire production team. He wanted to find someone to ask, but there was no phone to call.

Some women were already crying while holding their children.

When the women cried, the children cried too. Many women gathered in front of Zhang Xiuhua's house, and the team leader was overwhelmed.

Just then, Zhuzhu came running back from school, "Come and see! I saw a lot of people on the way here!"

As soon as these words came out, the women who had just been crying their hearts out immediately dropped their babies and ran away. The others followed behind. The captain stood there for a while with his pipe in his hand, then followed.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't follow because she still had to feed the chickens.

Zhuzhu put down her schoolbag, left her brother behind, and ran away.

Ji Lin also wanted to join in the fun, but thinking that those people were too far away, he decided to wait for them to come back at the door.

By the time Zhang Xiuhua finished feeding the chickens and changed her clothes and came out, Ji Lin was already getting impatient and was planning to go watch the fun.

Zhang Xiuhua called him, "Where are you going?"

"Why haven't they come back yet? I'll go see what's going on!" Ji Lin has always been a slow-tempered person, so if something can make him anxious, then something big must have happened.

Just then, Zhuzhu came running back, "Oh my, a fight has started! It's so exciting! Brother Jilin, do you want to go and see it?!"

"Why are you fighting?" Zhang Xiuhua asked before Ji Lin opened his mouth.

Zhuzhu couldn't squeeze in at all and shook her head and said she didn't know.

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't see the gossip and was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks.
