Chapter 116 A loyal person

Wen Qiyi replied a day later: "My friend agreed, but he made a request."

"any request?"

"I want you to put your fingerprint on the document."

"It's natural to write according to your fingerprints."

"All five fingers are pressed."

"Hey, are you worried about that? No problem."

"He also wants to ask you, do you only want to borrow a thousand, or can you borrow more?"

"Of course more is better."

"How much is that?"

"Let me think about it, five thousand is almost enough."

"Hey yo."

"what's wrong?"

"Just in time, this friend of mine said that he has five thousand, and there will be no more."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

Xing Yi wrote an IOU for 5000 yuan, put ink pad on all five fingers, pressed it on, and got 4000 yuan.

A total of ten men, women and children from the small village participated in rummaging and carrying stones. Xing Yi paid 200 yuan for adults, [-] yuan for women and [-] yuan for children.

They had never seen so much money in their lives, and their hands couldn't stop shaking when they counted the money.

Xing Yi told them that those stones were worthless now. He wanted to process them, grind them into powder, and use them as pigments for paintings. Only painters could use them, and not so many painters came to buy them all at once. , it has to be processed slowly and sold slowly.

In addition to the 200 yuan for the transportation fee, the old carpenter will be given another 500 yuan for the base production fee.

The old carpenter said: "It's just an old tree root for the fire, it's worthless."

Xing Yi said: "Through your exquisite carving, the old tree roots have become handicrafts."

The old carpenter said: "My skills are not worth so much."

Xing Yi praised: "There is a saying, three parts stone, seven parts base. Only when the stone is equipped with a decent base can it have a name and value, and you should take the big one."

The old carpenter was doubtful of his words.

"Take it first. This is just a small change. The stone will be sold for the money. Then we will share it."

In two days, the base was carved, the stone was embedded, and it was stable. The red toad was extending its tail into the stream, laying eggs and reproducing offspring.

The old carpenter nailed a wooden box, Xing Yi put the stone base into it, filled the gaps with hay, reinforced the outside, and was ready to set off tomorrow.

When I borrowed money from Wen Qiyi, I also asked for leave for a day or two.

At this time, I received a page from Yue Xin: I am in the county today and will go to the power plant tomorrow.

Xing Yi calculated the time. Yue Xin would leave tomorrow morning and should arrive at around ten o'clock. He would stay overnight when he arrived, and he would postpone his trip to the provincial capital by one day.

The next morning, he waited on the roadside. For more than half an hour, a jeep came and stopped in front of him. Yue Xin's hands were waving outside the car window.

When the car stopped, he jumped out, said thank you to the driver, waved to the people on the passenger seat, waited for the jeep to drive away, walked over quickly, and said, "I saw you from afar, so I told them, you are The most trustworthy person."

Xing Yi asked: "Is that a friend?"

"A literary friend who likes to write poetry. He has just been promoted to the head of the Enterprise Management Section of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. His surname is Meng. The jeep belongs to their unit. I happened to meet him and took a ride here."

Xing Yi led him directly to the water tower. During the [-]-meter stretch, Yue Xin first talked about property preservation.

Xing Yi listened to his story with great interest.

He said that since the separation in Shangyan Village, he returned to be busy with a series of things in the village and put aside the affairs of his uncle's family.

It wasn't until one day when I received a call from home saying that life at my uncle's home was very difficult that I remembered that my good friend Xing Yi had forgotten the advice.

"I have completely forgotten about the life and death of my uncle's family. My heart is so anxious and painful. I want to hit my head against a rock. I quickly take three days off to deal with this matter.

"At first, I wrote a complaint and submitted it to the court. I couldn't think of the word at the moment. I just said it was about preservation of property. The judge asked if it meant preservation of property. I quickly said yes, and the judge approved it and said to take it back and find it. The lawyer will write the formal letter.

"It costs money to find a lawyer. There is no other way. The survival of my uncle's family is a big deal. So I spent 300 yuan to find a lawyer to write a complaint. I sent it to the judge and the case was filed on the same day. I was notified on the fifth day. , saying that the perpetrator’s car has been sold, and now you are the only one to send someone to go to the Urban Construction Bureau with us to check whether the house is still in his name.

"When they met the judge, the people from the Construction Bureau did not dare to neglect. They pulled out the real estate certificate and saw that the name of the house had not been changed. The judge said that there was hope. The person from the housing management office asked if the house was going to be sealed. The judge nodded and said We will go through the formalities now and notify the people in the court to deliver the notice of delivery.

"The notice from the court has not yet been sent, and two more people came and said that they were preparing to buy the house and the contract had been printed. The judge replied sternly, I'm sorry, but the house cannot be moved for the time being. The two people said that we have already looked at the house. , the price was also agreed upon. The judge said, have the money ready, we will notify you when we auction the house, and you can just come and participate.

“We are currently conducting an evaluation, and it is estimated that the auction process will begin in a week. The proceeds from the auction will first repay our medical expenses and legal expenses, and the remainder will be given to the party responsible.

"If it weren't for your idea, we wouldn't know what to do now. So on behalf of my uncle's family, I want to thank you in advance."

Xing Yi was very relieved after hearing this and said: "You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter."

In the hut, while talking about property preservation, Yue Xin looked left and right, saw Xing Yi's paintings, admired them, and said: "In such an environment, I can have time to do this, which is not bad."

Xing Yi asked him: "How did you know that I came to the hydropower plant?"

Yue Xin said: "Hu Yanli told me."

"Hu Yanli? Do you know her too?"

Yue Xin said: "We didn't know each other at first, but that day she went to the countryside to look for us, and we got to know each other. I came to you today not only to thank you on behalf of my uncle's family, but also to tell you this matter earlier. you."

"what is the matter?"

"This incident was caused by Hu Yanli. That day she went to the village and not only looked for me, but also Zhou Yuexian. She asked to see Zhang Siyi, but Zhang Siyi happened to take leave to accompany her mother to see a doctor, so she didn't see her. His intention is very obvious, he directly asked you how you met Zhang Siyi in front of me and Zhou Yuexian."

Xing Yi chuckled: "Then what did you say?"

"It can be said to be a minor misunderstanding. If I hadn't been there that day and Hu Yanli had allowed Zhou Yuexian to analyze it casually, and she was so gullible, the misunderstanding would have been even deeper."

"how to say?"

"Isn't it because of Zhou Yuexian? From the time she went up the mountain to the time she went down to Shangyan Village, Zhou Yuexian always suspected that I was setting up a match for you. Moreover, she analyzed Zhang Siyi's psychological activities and believed that this was the case."

"Hehe, did Teacher Zhou tell Hu Yanli that?"

"After Hu Yanli arrived, she first looked for Zhou Yuexian and then me. They had already talked before I went to meet. I don't know exactly what they said, but from the way Hu Yanli was angry at me, I knew she had a misunderstanding. ”
