Chapter 315 - 315 Not Afraid of Spending More Money!
315 Not Afraid of Spending More Money!
To the people of Stoneback Village, if they could be on good terms with the Shi Family, they would. If they couldn’t, they shouldn’t offend them.
Firstly, the Shi family was a big family, and the brothers were very united. Usually, it was fine to if there were minor quarrels, but if someone from the family was bullied, the entire Shi family would not be willing.
Secondly, when Shi Tietou’s daughter married a rich man who donated a few million to repair the road, they would receive the gratitude and favor of the relevant entities in charge. Naturally, this also became a symbol of the Shi family’s backing and connections.
If anyone in the village encountered something that they could not handle, they might be able to tap on the Shi family’s connections.
However, there were always some villagers in the village who were muddle-headed and had bad attitudes. They were arrogant and saw the Shi family getting better and better. At the same time, they were jealous.
Of course, there were such weird villagers everywhere.
Zhang Liuying thought that she had contributed greatly by renting the land to the Shi family.
For the sake of Shi Tou, Shi Lichun did not dismiss him from work.
However, Zhang Liuying felt that she had lost so much face, and the anger in her heart surged.
Zhang Liuying felt that she had been bullied to death by the Shi family and that her useless husband did not know how to protect her. At the same time he embarrassed her, so she felt even more resentful and dissatisfied with him.
She pushed the Shi Tou away and said angrily to Shi Lichun, “I’m not renting this land anymore. Give it back to me. I’ll plant it myself.”
Gu Qingming said in amusement, “You’re not renting anymore? Auntie Zhang, we signed a rental contract. It’s not like you can just take it back because you don’t want to. If you really don’t want to rent anymore, that’s fine. Compensate for the breach of contract!”
Zhang Liuying’s expression flickered when she heard that she had to compensate for the breach of contract. She thought to herself that her family doesn’t have much land. The annual rent was only about 200 dollars. She thought that she just needed to pay three times the rent in compensation.
Zhang Liuying straightened her neck and said shamelessly, “I don’t know anything about breaching the contract. I only know that the land belongs to my family. I can rent it if I want to. If I don’t want to rent it, I won’t rent it. I don’t want to rent it anymore. Hurry up and return the land to me!”
As she said this, her eyes darted around, but she had another plan in her heart.
Gu Qingming had already built a greenhouse on the land she had contracted. If she returned the lease, the greenhouse would still sit on the land. No matter how rich the Shi family was, it was impossible for them to tear down such an expensive greenhouse and rebuild it just for five pieces of land.
Since that was the case, Zhang Liuying could just learn to grow greenhouse rice, greenhouse watermelons, or even greenhouse vegetables.
No matter what she planted, it was better than renting it to the Shi family.
The more Zhang Liuying thought about it, the more excited she became.
Hearing that Zhang Liuying wanted the land back, Shi Tou looked at her angrily and said loudly, “B*tch, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you get the land back after renting it out?”
It was shameless to ask for the land back in such a short amount of time. It was more likely that he had really offended the Shi family.
His wife was muddle-headed, but he was not.
The work of the Shi Family could not be done in a day or two, but in many days. Even if there were two months of work in a year, it would still be three to four thousand yuan.
However, Zhang Liuying was short-sighted and did not care about this at all.
She glared at Shi Tou angrily and pointed at Shi Lichun and the others. She said angrily, “They’ve already bullied your wife like this, but you’re still on their side? Shi Tou, do you still have balls? We can rent our own land if we want to, but we can’t rent it if we don’t want to.”
Shi Tou glared at Zhang Liuying with his sharp eyes and shouted sternly, “Shut up! Can you make a fortune with just five pieces of land? Or can you get a wife for your son with those five pieces of land? What a stupid woman! Let me tell you, I’m in charge of our family’s matters. Whether we rent this land or not is also up to me.”
Seeing her husband’s angry expression and fierce gaze, Zhang Liuying opened her mouth. She didn’t think she was stupid. She already had a plan.
Gu Qingming saw it clearly from the side.
She said, “You can take this land back if you want. At that time, I gave you three years of rent. Just give me 200 dollars a year, 600 dollars for three years, and 6,000 dollars for ten times the penalty. Return the money to me, and I’ll withdraw the contract!”
Losing 5,000 to 6,000 dollars for no reason was equivalent to cutting flesh in the hearts of villagers with low incomes. Who would be willing?
“Also, don’t think about not wanting to compensate for the breach of contract. We signed the contract in black and white. It has legal effects. If you’re unwilling to compensate, I’ll sue you in court. Then, the court will force you to execute it and even seal your house.”
“Huh? It’s that serious?”
When the villagers heard Gu Qingming’s words, they were in an uproar!
They were all illiterate. They did not expect the contract they signed to be so powerful.
They thought that it was just a piece of white paper to restrict the villagers.
Zhang Liuying’s expression turned ugly again.
She didn’t believe him. She straightened her neck and said, “I… I don’t believe you. Who are you trying to scare?! Although you think that we’re uncultured, you think that farmers like us are easy to deceive. Hmph, let me tell you, I don’t believe you. I won’t fall for it!”
Gu Qingming raised her eyebrows and said coldly, “So, you insist on withdrawing? Then you can try!”
“I… I…” Liuying Zhang hesitated.
Shi Tou immediately stopped her. “Little Gu, we won’t withdraw. We won’t withdraw. She said those words out of spite.”
Of course, Gu Qingming knew that it was impossible for him to withdraw. She only used this topic to convey all the reminders and warnings to all the villagers.
She knew that if there were conflicts, they would threaten to withdraw the lease as if the Shi family owed these people.
Her greenhouses would definitely make money in the future. At that time, it would definitely attract some jealousy.
At that time, just dealing with these sentiments would be troublesome.
A villager asked suspiciously, “Little Gu, do we really have to compensate so much?”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Ten times the compensation. It depends on how much your family rents to me and how much rent you take. If you want to withdraw, you just have to pay ten times the compensation.”
“Also, if you guys take back this land, my greenhouse will definitely bypass your land. It’s just paying a price,” Gu Qingming said coldly. “However, I have plenty of money. I’m not afraid of spending more money!”
“Hiss!”
When the villagers heard this, they gasped.
This was a blatant show-off of wealth!
In order to avoid their sesame-sized land, she would rather tear the greenhouse apart and build her greenhouses around their land.
This was simply profligate.
No matter how rich she was, she couldn’t spend it like this!
The villagers were deeply affected!
