Chapter 1695 Who Doesn’t Have some Troubles?
The big courtyard was brightly lit at night, and the brothers were very polite. They said that the whole family would come, and they really did.
Before it got dark, the wives of Xiaowu and Dajiang came to help prepare dinner. The children of each family chased and played in the yard, and the old house, which was usually not occupied, suddenly became lively.
There were three tables in total. One table for men, one table for women, and one table for children.
However, the children's table was basically dismissed before the dishes were served, because Yang Dongxu, who had nothing to do in the evening, set up the barbecue grill.
Originally, I wanted to make some lamb skewers and drink wine, but it all went into the stomachs of a group of little brats. Before dinner started here, these children had almost finished eating.
They took a few bites of their favorite dishes at the table, and then a few drinks, and they said they were full.
Everyone had firecrackers and lighters in their pockets, and under the leadership of the older children, they first played in the big yard of the old house.
After being yelled at for a few times, he ran out of the yard, and I don't know where he went to get a cannon to blow up cow dung.
"The clothes are dirty, you wait for me when you go back."
Several women shouted to the outside.
There were voices of response from outside, and the promise was good, but it was uncertain what would happen next.
Not to mention getting clothes dirty, it is also common to accidentally burn a hole in the newly bought down jacket. Rural children are like this, especially at the end of the year, they are wild and don't eat three meals a day, just like eating is not delicious.
A group of children went out to play. Although it was dark, there was nothing to worry about in the countryside. The older ones would take good care of the younger ones.
So the women at a table continued to eat while talking, and the men continued to drink.
After a while, the women finished eating and cleaned up the table, and went upstairs to chat, while the men were drinking happily.
"Going back to work after the New Year, are brothers looking good?" Seeing Zhou Ya and a group of women going upstairs, Xiaowu took a sip of wine and said.
The truck company they opened this year is doing very well, especially after they got involved in online shopping, although they haven't reached the point of setting up a courier company.
But looking at the entire Jiaocheng City, even if you add the nearby Chengwang City and Zhucheng City, his truck company has made a name for itself.
Originally, Yangjia Village started out by running trucks for freight. This resource is quite large, and it became famous right away, so naturally the business is not too good.
Dajiang also has shares in the company. At first, he didn't plan to work in the county. Later, Daliang felt that if he didn't help his cousin, his cousin would be further and further away from this circle, so he asked him to add a share later.
Later, working in the county was not going well, so Dajiang simply resigned and took a position in the truck company.
As a result, his originally good job was made particularly bad by his careless brother-in-law.
In the summer, because of the good business, the truck company paid a sum of money to get a few large refrigerated trucks back, and the business took another step forward.
His brother-in-law asked the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law to persuade him to join the truck company.
He was quite honest at first, but within two months, he could no longer resist his arrogance and even accepted red envelopes from truck drivers before arranging freight work.
The salary of truck drivers is divided into two parts. One is the basic salary, which is the bottom line. They will not starve even if they have a job.
This can stabilize most truck drivers, after all, they can get money when there is no cargo to transport.
The second part is the commission for transporting goods with a sports car. This part can earn more than 10,000 yuan or even 20,000 yuan, which is the main component of high wages.
And this sports car, the commission is naturally high or low for different jobs. For example, the higher the value of the cargo, the higher the freight will be. After all, the company will lose money if the cargo is lost.
The higher the freight, the more commission will be, because the driver who lost the cargo will be jointly liable.
However, even if there is joint liability, truck drivers are still willing to take the goods with high commissions, because the roads are basically familiar, as long as they are serious and responsible, there will be basically no problems, and everyone naturally wants to earn more.
So the general's brother-in-law Zhang Dong made a fuss about this, and even took the work privately for commissions, and kept the money himself, leaving the delivery work to the company.
In addition to receiving red envelopes from the drivers, this guy got 80,000 or 90,000 yuan in benefits in less than two months.
As a result, the matter was naturally exposed, and the general asked Zhang Dong to take out the embezzled money. As a result, this guy went to find his parents again, and then his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to the door and started to make a scene.
The angry general directly pulled out this brother-in-law and beat him up, which scared the father-in-law and mother-in-law at the time.
Because of this matter, the general directly resigned from the truck company. Originally, he said that he didn't want the shares. After all, this matter was too embarrassing. How could he have the face to take dividends at the end of the year? In the end, he was stopped by Xiaowu.
Agreed that he could go home and rest for a while, and the shares were still shares, and he could take as much dividends as he should at the end of the year.
The brother-in-law who was beaten up refused to give up the embezzled money no matter what. Finally, the general gritted his teeth and called the police to accuse his brother-in-law of a job-related crime.
The police came directly to his house and scared his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
At this time, the matter was solved by returning the money. The general just wanted to scare the other party and let Zhang Dong remember it for a long time. He didn't want to really send him to jail. But his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't think so. They thought it was okay for their son to embezzle a little money.
The truck company makes millions of dollars a year, but is it short of the 80,000 or 90,000 yuan from his son? And his son was beaten and hospitalized.
So he gritted his teeth and sued the son-in-law, Dajiang, saying that he had beaten others innocently and disabled them, and took his son to have his injuries examined.
In short, it was impossible to return the embezzled money. Not only did he not return the money, but he also asked Dajiang to pay for medical expenses, various nutrition expenses, and mental damages, which cost one million yuan.
This pissed off Dajiang at the time. If it weren't for Daliang and a few others stopping him, he would have wanted to kill him.
Then Zhang Jing went to the hospital and beat her brother on the bed in front of her parents, and then her parents sued her as well.
In the end, the matter really went to court. Dajiang was detained for 15 days for beating someone and paid 60,000 yuan in compensation. Zhang Jing's beating was defined as mutual fighting, and because Zhang Dong was seriously injured, he paid 35,000 yuan in compensation.
After the penalty, Dajiang directly gave 95,000 yuan to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Then the next day, Zhang Dong was detained as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. The truck company directly sued the other party for economic crimes, and the evidence was sufficient. The court sentenced the general to two years and six months in prison.
The general's father-in-law and mother-in-law were naturally dissatisfied and appealed. This time they found a very good lawyer.
After the lawyer read all kinds of evidence, he told them the truth that if the plaintiff did not withdraw the lawsuit, his son's sentence would be at least one year even if he took action.
After all, the evidence of Zhang Dong's economic crime was too sufficient, and he couldn't help to cover it up.
The general's father-in-law and mother-in-law panicked and ran to ask for help.
As a result, the general was not seen at all. After the couple made a fuss in Yangjia Village for a few days, the second instance court completed the trial and basically upheld the original sentence, but the sentence was reduced from two years and six months to one year and six months.
The reason for reducing so much at once was that the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law realized the seriousness of the matter, made up for the money their son had embezzled, and agreed to pay a fine of 50,000 yuan, striving for a standard of sentence reduction for a good attitude of confession.
The money was returned and the fine was paid, but he still had to go to jail. The general's father-in-law and mother-in-law were naturally unwilling, and it was another toss.
As a result, the general did not give in at all, and Zhang Jing was also determined this time. I want to send my brother to prison for a good education.
In the end, the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law watched their son being sent to prison, and the daughter-in-law wanted to divorce and divide the property. The mother-in-law even cried, made a fuss, and even hanged herself to force death, but it was useless.
In the end, they said directly that they had never given birth to a daughter like Zhang Jing, and naturally there was no son-in-law like the general.
Not only did the matter become a mess, but the general became famous in the villages. It can be said that he lost face.
"No need to go back to work." The general picked up the wine glass, drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp, and then took a long breath, "My family has a homestead at the head of the village. I plan to build a yard and make a homestay after the New Year.
Zhang Jing has a classmate who feels that the investment environment here is good. He plans to build a garment factory in the county, and I plan to invest in it. When the time comes, all kinds of procedures and various departments will be paid. I will shamelessly ask the brothers present to help me again, so that I can use my brothers in the future."
"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about." Yang Dongxu glanced at him.
"Brothers, don't say two different things." Daliang patted the general on the shoulder.
There are some things that Yang Dongxu can say, Xiaowu can say, but he can't say.
Because he and the general are cousins, he can help the general himself, but he can't sit at the wine table and express his opinion, dragging Yang Dongxu and Xiaowu and others into it.
Doing so is equivalent to setting up Yang Dongxu and Xiaowu. Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that it is easy to offend people.
"Let Xiaowu help with the procedures. He is also familiar with the ways of running a company. Take your dad (Dad Yang) to pay respects, burn incense when necessary, and then get a support policy for the garment factory."
Although Xiaowu is able to mix well at the scene, his status is obviously not as good as Dad Yang.
He took the general to run the relationship, at best, to make a good call, so that the garment factory would not have trouble running. Wanting support policies, bank loans, etc., this is beyond his ability.
It's different with Yang's father. The Yang family has a high status and they are very disciplined. If they don't arrange the support and loans, it's obvious that they are looking for trouble with the Yang family.
After all, the procedures are in place, and they didn't ask you to do anything illegal beyond the scope of the procedures. You can't control the normal procedures. Isn't this looking for trouble?
And they want to find trouble with the Yang family
"Thank you, thank you, I won't say anything, everything is in the wine." The general filled another glass of white wine with red eyes and drank it in one gulp.
No one stopped him from drinking three glasses in a row. This wine should be drunk. Although they are brothers, they must show the right attitude.
"Okay, let's eat. Who doesn't have some bad things in their family? My uncle..." Yang Dongxu paused and looked upstairs. His aunt was upstairs.
Seeing Yang Dongxu's expression, everyone else laughed, and the solemn atmosphere on the table was instantly swept away.
Yes, who doesn't have a few bad things in their family.
Compared with the troubles that happened to Yang Dongxu's uncle Shengli back then, the things that the general's brother-in-law has been doing are nothing.
