Chapter 24 Bad News

Zhao Shiming and the others had been making trouble in the village for several days, but because of Xu Ning's will and the fact that the village cadres disdained Zhao Shiming, their idea of ​​letting the village take back the compound came to nothing.

However, they did not give up. They threw nails and wine bottles near the menu, and many customers accidentally had their tires slashed.

In the end, they often made trouble near the menu when there were many customers. After several times, the customers were also panicked, and the number of customers suddenly decreased a lot.

Because of these things, Zhao Xinyu was also very helpless. He had no good way to deal with a scoundrel like Zhao Shiming. He wanted to give him some money to stop him from causing trouble, but he also knew that people like Zhao Shiming were greedy. It's not enough for you to give him money once. He will also think of other ways to get you to keep giving him money. Water bills are the best example.

For this matter, Han Tianliang and the others went to Zhao Shiming many times, but to no avail. Zhao Shiming even threatened to take back the courtyard and drive Zhao Xinyu out of Xihanling.

The days passed slowly under the constant harassment of scoundrels like Zhao Shiming and others. Although the harassment of these people reduced the passenger flow, people could not resist the temptation of the taste of vegetables. Many people also came up with a way to buy vegetables. Send it out, and then give the villagers a few dollars as reward.

As a result, a large part of the people who go in and out of preserved vegetables every day are villagers who help buy vegetables. Many villagers can receive more remuneration than working outside by helping to buy vegetables.

After learning about this incident, some villagers who were unable to work outside also returned to the village. In the end, a new profession appeared in Xihanling, that is, the profession of delivering food to people.

As the number of people in this industry increased, various food delivery companies finally launched the service of helping to buy food. As a result, the delivery boys who only appeared during two meals a day could be seen busy on the street every day.

And because of this kind of business, the preserved vegetable business gradually became popular, and the vegetable and soybean water sold every day was taken away by the delivery boy.

While the preserved vegetable business is booming, the vegetables grown in many villagers' yards have also matured. However, what disappoints them is that although their vegetables taste much better than those grown in greenhouses, they do not taste as good as those grown in Zhao Xinyu's compound. It's too far apart.

"Xinyu, Zhao Shiming and the others are causing trouble again." Han Li hurried over from outside in the middle of the morning.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xinyu frowned. Now he felt a headache when he heard Zhao Shiming's name.

"People in the village also grow a lot of vegetables in their yards, but the taste is very different from our vegetables. Zhao Shiming bought the vegetables they grew at a low price and sold them outside as our vegetables at a high price. Now the villagers are like him. After I made it, many customers came to my door with vegetables."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "If they didn't look for them, how could they find us?"

"Many people in the village were threatened by Zhao Shiming and others. When delivering vegetables, they replaced our vegetables with vegetables grown by the villagers."

Zhao Xinyu let out a long sigh and couldn't help but shake his head, "Refund it to them. You go back immediately to find a few trustworthy people and paste their photos on the vegetables. From now on, we will only allow these people to deliver our vegetables. If anything happens to anyone, we will immediately Stop them from delivering food, and they will not be allowed to deliver food in the future.”

"Son of a bitch", Zhao Shiming's face was distorted while he was drinking, and his wine glass fell heavily to the ground. In the past few days, he bought vegetables grown in the village at low prices, and switched to vegetables brought from preserved vegetables, and those grown by Zhao Xinyu Vegetables are sold at high prices.

In a few days, he made a lot of money, and he went to several places with the money to buy more vegetables. He wanted to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xinyu directly named him. Several people delivered vegetables, and those who swapped vegetables for him were all fired.All his plans came to nothing.

A little Huang Mao glanced at the vegetables piled up in the yard and said, "Brother Zhao, there are two trucks outside, and they are still waiting for the final payment."

"Tell them to pull back."

"Then the half we pay will be..."

"You all go out to buy groceries."

"Customers also know about that. Now they only recognize people, maybe our dishes?"

"Go to other communities, hurry up, otherwise all our money will be wasted."While Zhao Shiming and the others were busy buying vegetables at low prices, Zhao Xinyu received a call from his hometown. The villagers just told him to go back quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xinyu's mood suddenly became heavy. He knew very well that there must be something wrong with his grandfather.

He called Han Li and the others, and then filled several large buckets with space water. "Han Li, I'm going back to my hometown tonight. You water them once every three days. When watering, put the water in the big buckets." of water, use half a bucket at a time.”

Seeing Zhao Xinyu's solemn expression, he said, "Xinyu, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I suddenly want to go back and see my grandpa."

Then he started to boil the ointment. This time he made a lot of ointment. He put the prepared ointment into a container. Zhao Xinyu also called Du Mengnan and asked her to come over and get the ointment. Then he left the building. hospital.

One does not have any household appliances.In the dark room, Zhao Xinyu looked at his grandfather whose face was covered with scars and was dying, and cried like rain, "Grandpa."

The old man seemed to have a slight reaction, but he just squirmed a little. "Call the hospital." While Zhao Xinyu was speaking, he stretched out a finger and put it on the old man's wrist.

After a moment, his face turned ashen, and he could feel that his grandfather's vitality was rapidly draining away, reaching the point where he was exhausted.

"Xinyu, the doctor from the county has already come. Your grandfather was still conscious at that time and refused to go to the hospital. He said he would wait for you to come back."

"My grandpa, what's going on?"

"Your brother came back a few days ago and stayed for a few days. After he left, your grandfather became like this. Your grandfather said that he fell from the kang to the ground."

Zhao Xinyu's heart shrank, and he took a box of silver needles from the kang. After a moment, after a painful sound, the old man slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes had begun to blur.

He turned to look at an old man standing on the ground and said, "Wang Ru, I have something to say to Xinyu."The old man sighed slightly, turned around and left the yard.

"grandfather……"

"Xinyu, I want to know what you want to ask. I don't have much time. Listen to me. I often took you to that place when you were young. You should still remember that where there are things I left for you, there are also you. It's a piece of jewelry you've worn since childhood. Now that you've grown up, you may be able to find your biological parents. Don't resent Grandpa." After saying this, the aura on the old man's body began to fade away.

"grandfather……"

A newly erected tomb, a pile of paper money still smoking, Zhao Xinyu's eyes were red and swollen, his expression was extremely lonely, and his originally smooth chin had an extra layer of beard.

He reached out and picked up the last handful of paper money and threw it into the pile of paper money. Tears flowed from Zhao Xinyu's eyes again. He hated himself for not coming back after recovering. It was his failure to come back that made him and his grandfather who loved him the most yin and yang. apart.

Kneeling in front of the grave, Zhao Xinyu kowtowed three times. He picked up his backpack and glanced at the vaguely visible village in the distance. He sighed slightly. When handling the funeral arrangements for his grandfather, he heard the villagers who were helping him say that in the future, During the years when he went away to school, his younger brother Zhao Xinxing forced his grandfather to get money every time he came back. In five years, his grandfather didn't even take a sip of medicinal wine. Zhao Xinyu sold everything in the house that could be sold.

Grandpa is gone, and the village no longer cares about him. He is even less willing to return to the yard where he grew up. He is worried that he will not be able to bear it.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his eyes and looked at the mountains not far away. He walked towards the mountains. There were things left by his grandfather in the mountains.

When he reached the bottom of the mountain, he turned to look at the village in the distance. A thick layer of mist appeared in his eyes. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and roared, his voice full of desolation.
