Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Chen Feng looked up at Chen Long, his brows raised slightly: "What's going on? You look constipated, tell me."

Chen Long grunted and choked out a few words, "Well, I just received a bunch of gold-edged yuan. I was thinking of selling it at the city's medicinal materials company's purchase price and making a profit."

"It was smooth at the beginning. I have a relative who works as an accountant in a sales company. He introduced me to the head of the purchasing department, and the first batch of goods was sold at the purchase price."

"But the next day, a problem arose. When the director saw me arriving with cartloads of gold-rimmed yuan, his face turned green. He said, 'We can't afford all this stuff even if we empty our company's account!' They're still waiting for funding from higher-ups."

"Besides, if they've collected so many gold-edged dollars, will they still accept other medicine? The director directly refused and asked, 'Why did you get so much? Is there an insect infestation?'"

"The municipal herbal medicine company refused to accept it, and I was completely stunned. I started arguing with them and even scolded my relative who was the cashier."

"Now my relatives won't help me anymore. I spent a lot of money to buy these gold-edged yuan, and I even borrowed money. If the Municipal Herbal Medicine Company doesn't accept them, I'll have to pay it all back!"

"Now the people who borrowed money are asking for repayment, and I have no choice but to come to you. Do you think you can get these gold-edged yuan back?" After Chen Long finished speaking, he looked at Chen Feng with embarrassment.

After hearing what Chen Long said, Chen Feng thought to himself: This guy might be a little untruthful, but he was honest about his situation. It seems he's really been forced into a desperate situation and is counting on me to save him. He's a smart guy to do this.

Chen Feng slowly said, "You don't have to look at me like that. Business is business. We used to have a bit of a bad relationship, but when it comes to business, things are what they are..."

"If you want me to buy back the gilt-edged yuan, I can. But I have to make it clear upfront that I can't buy it at the price the city herbal medicine company charges. I can only buy it at my purchase price. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, there's nothing I can do."

When Chen Long heard this, he looked embarrassed and hesitant.

He knew in his heart that if he bought it back at Chen Feng's purchase price, he would lose money.

At that time, he added two yuan per kilogram and bought it from Chen Feng.

Now, I have to sell it back at a lower price. No matter how I think about it, I feel stupid. I originally thought I could make a profit, but in the end I lost two dollars.

"Director Chen, do you think you could take it back at the price I offered you back then?" Chen Long asked tentatively. "I'll consider this my fault and apologize. From now on, wherever you, Director Chen, go, I, Chen Long, will stay away and definitely won't stand in your way. On the contrary, if there's anything you need my help with, just ask. I won't say no!"

Chen Feng looked at Chen Long with interest, thinking to himself: Two dollars more or two dollars less, it doesn't matter to me.

Anyway, this money belongs to Chen Long. If I can get it back to its original price, I can definitely make a profit. But compared to the current value of Phnom Penh wine, this profit is nothing. The key is whether Chen Long is worth using.

When Chen Feng thought of his relatives in Chenjiagou Village, his eyes lit up and he had an idea in mind.

"Along, to be honest, we've never had any grudges before. You picked a fight with me, and then you suffered such a huge loss. I'm not much better off. These gold-edged dollars were originally the raw materials for my winery, and after you intercepted them, my production was also greatly affected."

Chen Feng said, throwing his pen on the table. "We're both pretty well-known figures in the local area, but we were completely fooled. Why do you think that happened?"

"Chen Dali!" Chen Long gritted his teeth and said the name, but then he realized that Chen Dali was the father of the factory director Chen in front of him, so he quickly put away the expression on his face.

Chen Feng snorted coldly, "I don't have such a father! I'll put an advertisement in the newspaper and sever my father-son relationship with Chen Dali!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Long again: "Along, although I have severed the father-son relationship with him, in everyone's eyes, blood ties cannot be severed, so it's not easy for me to touch him, do you understand? And those cousins ​​in my family, what kind of people are they!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Long immediately understood what Chen Feng meant and hurriedly said, "Director Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you. I, Chen Long, cannot swallow this anger. I will definitely go talk to that family later."

Chen Feng nodded and said with emotion, "Family disgrace should not be made public. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you, brother. Well, after all, we are both wanderers in this world. I will buy back your gold-edged yuan at the original price."

Upon hearing this, Chen Long was overjoyed. He stood up and said excitedly, "Director Chen, you saved my life this time! I didn't recognize the true Buddha before, but today I have finally found him! I, Chen Long, will repay you!"

...

After getting the money from Chen Feng, Chen Long felt relieved. This hurdle was finally over.

But when he thought about what he had experienced during this period, his hatred for Chen Dali's family surged up and he felt a itch in his teeth.

After sending the creditors away, Chen Long went straight to Chen Dali's house without delay.

He was looking for not only Chen Dali, but also those cousins.

Arriving at Chen Dali's house, Chen Long didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Chen Dali, and you cousins, we have to talk things over today."

When Chen Dali and the others saw Chen Long's posture, they felt a pang in their hearts and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Chen Long continued, "Land has been distributed to households, but the policy on homesteads is not just for show. To ensure farmers' basic housing needs, the state has clearly put forward the principle of 'one household, one house' and also stipulated that the area of ​​homesteads cannot exceed the prescribed standards..."

"Look at you cousins ​​now. Besides the old house, the land occupied by the newly built houses exceeds the stipulated area. This is all collective village property. What you are doing is violating policies and laws and regulations."

Chen Dali and his cousins ​​looked at each other in bewilderment. "But, we have divided the property, and the house we live in is not more than..."

"It's not up to you to decide whether it exceeds the limit or not! The homestead is allocated by the village collective to farmers for living, not your personal private property. Your arbitrary occupation of the homestead not only damages the interests of the village collective, but also affects the rights and interests of other villagers." Chen Long said coldly.

Chen Dali forced a smile, trying to lighten the mood: "Along, we're all from the same village, why bother being so serious? We've been using those residential plots for so many years, and no one has said anything..."

"No one said anything?" Chen Long interrupted Chen Dali. "That's because no one cared before! Now that the country is paying attention to land issues, we have to follow the rules. Your illegal occupation of homesteads is not only disrespectful to national policies, but also unfair to other villagers. This matter must be resolved!"
