I recently purchased a finca on a river. A few locals come over and take care of the farm. They do some basic farming and building. Initially there were 3, the farmer, his brother and a thrid man from the village.
I pay the farmer for his help a monthly sum of 7000 paysos, and his crew gets 6000. This is what he asked for. I give all cash to the farmer, who handles everything. He is the only person I have ever had comminication with.
The thrid man became a problem. At times he worked hard. Other times he would be drunk. Anyhow, after 5 months he hurt himself at home. It had nothing to do with his work. The farmer asked that we continue to pay him while he healed.
After the 2 months of not returning, (apprently he was healed), the farmer told him that he was no longer needed. He offered him 3 more months salary.
Clearly the thrid man was not happy about losing work. He has a cousin who is a local lawyer, and has apprently asked for 250,000 pesos, and tried to name me on a law suit. Of couse because he does not have my name or anything on me, the name is incorrect on the papers.
I am leaving town for 6 months in 2 months. Should I be concerned about this gong show?
