Although the Qin Family Village has vegetable greenhouses, they haven’t been fully promoted yet.
Right now, the common folks are relying on winter-stored vegetables to get through the winter.
As the two of them were talking, the phone rang.
Answering it, it was indeed Big Brother Qin Han.
"I was just about to call home, and Big Brother called first. How are things back home? Is the snow heavy?"
Qin Han was also concerned about this, "The snow is quite heavy. Some greenhouses in our village have collapsed. No one expected the rain to be this heavy, and it turned into snow in the end. The vegetable seedlings in those greenhouses were growing well, and they were worried about not covering them with straw curtains at night, which could freeze the vegetables. Who knew it would cause the greenhouses to collapse? This morning, the village chief called people to help those families to minimize their losses. I went over to check it out, and most of the vegetables in the greenhouses were frozen. On top of that, they have to rebuild the greenhouses, resulting in significant losses."
To keep warm, vegetable greenhouses need to be covered with straw curtains at night.
After the rain, the straw curtains absorbed a lot of water, which increased their weight, and then they were covered with a layer of snow. It’s no wonder the greenhouses collapsed.
This is basic knowledge. When greenhouses were promoted, the technicians had already warned the villagers.
However, Lin Chuxia could understand these people, who had a bit of a lucky mindset.
If they didn’t cover the straw curtains, the vegetables inside the greenhouses would be somewhat frozen.
Seeing the vegetables growing, how could they bear to watch them freeze and get damaged?
Seeing Lin Chuxia’s concern about the village’s vegetable greenhouses, Qin Han told her which families’ greenhouses were crushed.
He finally sighed, "The other families are relatively okay, but it’s Li Sanpang’s family that I’m worried about. Their family is poor. Previously, they joined with others to build a greenhouse and finally made some money. This year, they wanted to go solo and invested all the money in this. Now the greenhouse has collapsed, and Sanpang’s mom sat in the field crying for a long time. Later, the village cadres went there. I thought, seeing their pitiful situation, wouldn’t the village chief help? But the village chief only invited people to help them work, without saying how they would assist them."
Hearing Big Brother’s tone, Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
"What do you want the village chief to do? It’s not just Sanpang’s family that suffered, there are a total of seven or eight families. Should the village chief help Sanpang’s family and ignore the others? Moreover, the vegetable greenhouse is considered a collective project of our village. When the greenhouses were initially built, the technicians clearly explained everything. The consequences of their confusion can’t just be patched up by the village, or will some people knowingly repeat the mistakes next time?"
Lin Chuxia’s words left Qin Han stunned for a while.
"Sister-in-law, why didn’t I think of that? To be honest, because of this matter, I was feeling blocked for a while, always thinking that the village chief was being unkind. There’s no shortage of money with so many industries in the village. I was even considering how to help Sanpang’s family and give those village cadres a piece of my mind. Turns out, I had misunderstood."
"Having compassion is a good thing for Big Brother," Lin Chuxia knew Qin Han’s nature well.
Feeling embarrassed by the praise, Qin Han said, "Oh, sister-in-law, don’t say that. My thinking is straightforward and can’t process so many twists and turns. It’s fortunate that I made this call to you, otherwise, I might have offended people."
At this moment, he came to realize.
Although Sanpang’s family is pitiful, their situation is ultimately a result of their own decisions, and they can’t blame others.
It’s just bad luck, with misfortune piling on, that led them to gamble on a bad weather bet.
Seeing his tone lightened, Lin Chuxia further inquired about the situation of the other affected families.
In the end, she reminded him, "If Big Brother wants to help these disaster-stricken villagers, just do what you can, like giving them an extension. But be sure to stick to your principles when it comes to pricing."
This time, Qin Han didn’t need further explanation from Lin Chuxia to understand.
If he gives them a cheaper deal, how would the other villagers look at him?
"I got it, sister-in-law. Don’t worry, I know what to do now."
The Qin Family Village’s greenhouse business developed so well. As long as they follow the rules, they will definitely make money.
