Chapter 137 Do you want legs or money? [3400]

After Lu Yang explained everything he could and should explain to Yin Zhuangzhuang, he took Yin Zhuangzhuang's 3000 yuan, put it in his pocket, and drove back to Shanghuai Village.

I was planning to go back to the factory to have a look.

By the way, call Gong Ping'an, Da Jun, and my eldest cousin, and make an appointment to go to the state-owned coal mine to find Fatty Zhao and buy two large trucks.

Otherwise, wait until the factory expands.

There was only one big truck left in the factory, and my cousin and Da Jun took turns driving it, but it was not enough.

He has already taken out the money.

It's only 20,000 yuan. I won't buy a new car that is 80% to 90% new this time. I can save some money and use it to transport more goods. I can just buy two old trucks that are close to being scrapped.

"It's settled. I'll go to the village committee and call Lao Zhao to arrange a time, and then I'll notify you all and we can all go pick up the car together."

Right in front of the garment factory.

Lu Yang said this to Da Jun and his eldest cousin who had just returned from the next village with a cart of clothes.

"By the way, last time I asked you to teach an apprentice, have you done it?"

If we buy two more large trucks, the factory will have three large trucks again, just like before.

And there are only two truck drivers now.

Gong Ping'an doesn't count.

He is Lu Yang's bodyguard and driver. He drives the Santana unless he is too busy at the factory, or when Da Jun or his cousin asks for leave, he will temporarily play the role of truck driver.

Therefore, the reserve driver still needs to be trained further.

"I've been taught, and I've almost learned it." The eldest cousin said a little embarrassedly.

Lu Yang felt a little strange: "Who is it?"

"It's me, bro."

Lu Yang looked at the head sticking out from the passenger seat of the truck and said in a depressed tone, "Why is it you? Didn't I tell you to wait a little longer until the free wholesale market opens? I have a more important task for you, right?"

The sixth brother, Lu Youzhi, smiled playfully and flattered him outside the car, "Fourth brother, I'm just sitting here doing nothing. I just happened to hear that the eldest brother and Jun brother wanted to teach apprentices, so I signed up and took this opportunity to learn how to drive.

As for the tasks you have to assign to me after the free wholesale market opens, fourth brother.

I thought, fourth brother, you must be attracted by my mouth. I am talkative and can lie. The girls and wives in the village are always happy because of me. So, fourth brother, the job you want me to do must be related to sales.

But I think about it again.

This sales is inseparable from transportation. If our factory has good business in the future, we will definitely have to transport the clothes from the factory to the county market in truckloads. At that time, we will have to find another driver to work and stay in the factory.

That's too much trouble, why don't I just do it part-time, and save some money. If I'm really too busy in the future, I can ask Big Brother and Jun to teach a new apprentice. It won't take long to train a truck driver, Fourth Brother, don't you think so?"

Lu Yang heard it.

Well, good guy, you think ahead of yourself.

"Are you the boss or am I the boss?"

"It won't happen again."

"How about this. Since you like driving, you can go with us when we go to buy a new car someday. You can drive one of the two new trucks, and your eldest brother and your brother Dajun will draw lots. Whoever draws the better truck will continue to drive the original truck, and whoever draws the worse truck will drive the new truck like you. The truck may be in a slightly worse condition.

In addition, I will also increase your salary. Starting from next month, you, your eldest brother, and your brother Dajun will receive the same salary.

As for the work I will arrange for you after the free market opens in May, I will see how you perform. If you do well, I will continue to raise your salary. If you don’t do well, since you like driving, you can be your truck driver with peace of mind.”

Lu Yang waved his hand.

Since my little brother wants to perform, I will give him a chance, but if he doesn't perform well, I won't be polite either.

Wait until the market opens.

The guy I originally wanted to be the sales manager of the garment factory was this guy.

But if this kid doesn't live up to his expectations, we'll have to replace him.

"Thank you, fourth brother."

The sixth child, Lu Youzhi, was so happy that his little eyes were almost filled with money.

300 Ah!
That’s really great! Starting next month, he will finally be able to receive a monthly salary of 300 yuan.

He'd been thinking about it for a long time.

As for what my cousin said, there will be another important task assigned to him in May, that’s not a problem, he is confident that he can do it well. Even if he can’t, doesn’t he still have the job of a truck driver that pays 300 yuan a month to back him up?

By the end of the year, I can save at least two thousand yuan.

When the time comes, I will definitely find a matchmaker to find me a wife from the city. Hehe, all my peers in Shanghuai Village will be so envious.

Lu Yang knocked on the car door and said, "Okay, go in and unload the goods."

Know they are busy.

After unloading the clothes, they will have to pull another cart of small materials and send them to the newly found sewing workers in the next town.

The workload is getting heavier and heavier now, especially as the factory begins to expand and needs to deliver and receive goods across towns. With only one big truck like this, it really can't be idle.

Having said these serious matters.

Lu Yang was about to go to the village committee to make a phone call, but before he was halfway there, he suddenly saw a group of people coming towards him in a noisy manner.

Take a closer look.

It turned out to be the old village party secretary, accompanied by Chun San's mother, his pregnant wife, and several children. "Looking for me?"

"Are you still going to the tea mountain behind the village at this time?"

Lu Yang's face was full of confusion.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any major changes in the Chunsan incident.

They have agreed to pay compensation.

5000.

It is a lot. It can even be said that the compensation in rural areas of this era is frighteningly high. If I, a reborn person, had not known that there was coal under the tea mountain and the other party wanted to steal the coal, I would never have given up contracting the tea mountain. As long as I seize this point, I can threaten the other party and follow the normal procedures. Even if the other party does not bully me, 500 is already the most I can pay. I can't even dream of getting 5000.

So what's going on now?

Could it be that the other party really intends to throw the jar into chaos, completely turn against the village, and go back on his word?

Because this compensation was what I wanted in the first place.

So Lu Yang also went to meet them, and when he was still about ten meters away, he opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on? Are those people from Chashan not going to pay the last balance?"

It was originally agreed that the payment would be made in three installments, 1000 for the first time, 2000 for the second time, and the final 2000 would be paid in a week, which, if you count the days, would be tomorrow.

That’s not right!

Since there is still one day left, why make a fuss now?
Mystery solved.

When the old village secretary saw Lu Yang coming and heard what Lu Yang said, he couldn't help but hold his hand and said with emotion: "We were just about to look for you. This time it's not a matter of money. The money was sent over this morning, a day ahead of schedule.

Something happened to Chunsan. The county hospital called and said that Chunsan's leg was infected again by sewage because he missed the best time for treatment and jumped into the pond. They have tried various methods but still failed to reduce the inflammation. Amputation may be necessary, otherwise his life will be in danger.

Ugh.

Qingshan's mother and Chunshan's wife, both women, couldn't make up their minds.

Just now they begged us in the village committee, wanting us to think of a solution.

What else can we do?
I had no choice but to accompany them to come to you again to see if you have any solution."

Lu Yang couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Chunsan had anticipated that his leg would be infected for the second time, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

And what's the point of coming to me? Am I a doctor?

He couldn't help but say unhappily, "The County People's Hospital is not a small clinic. Do you have to amputate to save his life? Haven't you proposed any other solutions?"

"This one……"

The old village party secretary hesitated and said, "There are actually two plans, but..."

"Well, let me be frank. My sister-in-law doesn't agree with the other plan."

Lu Yang looked at the so-called sister-in-law mentioned by the old village party secretary.

It’s Chunsan’s mother.

"Auntie, can I ask what plan you disagree with?"

Chunsan's mother showed hesitation on her face.

But before he could say anything, Chun San's wife, who was already pregnant and crying, said anxiously, "The doctor in the hospital said that if we don't amputate, we can only transfer to a higher-level hospital to try. He also said that it might not be saved, but I want to try. My mother-in-law said that since the leg can't be saved and the doctor said so, we shouldn't waste the money. She also said..."

"Shut up, you!"

The mother-in-law next to her, Chun San's mother, glared at her fiercely, forcing her to swallow what she was about to say.

Then he looked at Lu Yang flatteringly and said, "It's like this. I don't think Chun San's leg can be saved. Besides, even the doctor said so. He just told us to transfer to another hospital, but he didn't say that it would definitely be cured. It's not easy to get this little compensation, right?
What if we really have to transfer him to another hospital, spend all the money, and Chunsan’s leg can’t be cured, and if something unexpected happens to him, what should we, an orphan and a widow, do?
Boss Lu, you have to be considerate of us poor people."

Lu Yang didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, looking at her daughter-in-law who was pregnant and looked anxious, and looking at her other side, her other pair of children, Chun San's younger brother and sister, they are not young anymore, right?

In two years, those who want to get married will get married, and those who want to get married will find wives.

Right.

It was so hard for the poor family to see such a large sum of money, it was like pie in the sky. Instead of spending it on their eldest son's leg which might not be cured, they decided to save the money and use it to marry their younger son off in a few years.

Lu Yang felt that he should have guessed the truth.

By the way, maybe I’m responsible for this too.

What did I say?

I said, no matter whether Chunsan’s leg can be cured or not, even if he is really lame, I am willing to accept him and give him a job that will ensure he will have enough food and clothing. Is that right?
Human nature is so complicated!
I wanted to do a good thing and almost caused someone to lose a leg.

No wonder the old widow yelled at her daughter-in-law just now and told Chunsan and his wife not to continue talking. Was she afraid that if she told me the truth, I would go back on my word and no longer agree to my original promise after his leg was amputated because of her refusal to pay for his treatment?
Ha ha.

This old widow is really good at judging people.

Lu Yang was too lazy to ask her any more questions, and directly said to the old village secretary: "I remember when the compensation agreement was signed, the compensation recipient was Chun San himself. He is not dead yet, and even if he is dead, his wife and children should be the main beneficiaries, right?

By the way, the purpose of this money is also written above. We must first ensure that it is spent on Chunsan’s treatment and not diverted elsewhere. Shouldn’t the village committee take responsibility for supervision?
That’s all I have to say. I have something else to say. Old village secretary, please think carefully about whether the village committee should take on this responsibility.”

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

After finishing his talk, before leaving, Lu Yang said to Chun San's mother with a half-smile, "Aunt, I forgot to remind you that I promised Chun San that I would keep him even if he had a lame leg. I would give him a job. But I never said that if he had an amputation and became a disabled person who needed to sit in a wheelchair and be taken care of for the rest of his life, I would still give him a job. There is a difference here. Aunt, please be aware of this and think about it carefully."

Haha, you really think that Lu Yang is a good man who built bridges and roads.
