Chapter 66 Big Double

Chen Ye didn't hesitate and slammed the table: "What are you discussing? Buy it. As long as there is this opportunity, there is no need to consider it. Are you two short of a hundred or two hundred dollars?" These two brothers are not short of money.

"You don't know when you'll get this opportunity next time. Don't you know how hard it is to find a job these days? If you don't have enough money, I'm here for you." Chen Ye was about to take out the money, not knowing whether the two brothers were short of money recently.

Da Shuang waved his hands directly: "No, no, you also know that my brother and I are not short of money. Isn't it cost-effective to spend so much money just to buy a job as a warehouse keeper?"

Chen Ye rolled his eyes and said, "You two aren't really going there to earn money to support the family. You're just using a job as a cover to keep yourself safe. Otherwise, if you don't have a job and still live in a house with a private entrance and yard and have enough money to spend, something will happen sooner or later."

Da Shuang also understood what was going on, it was just a habit; the two brothers grew up together and always discussed everything.

It must be the two brothers Dashuang. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't say so much. Who knows whether the person sitting opposite you is a human or a ghost?

Da Shuang looked a bit embarrassed. "It's about academic qualifications. You know that neither of us brothers have graduated from elementary school. This job requires at least a junior high school degree."

Chen Ye... forget about this matter. These two look almost illiterate.

"That's not right. I remember that you two each got a junior high school diploma last year?" She didn't know why they had to get a diploma, but she knew that this happened.

Da Shuang was stunned: "Yeah, how could I forget about this, but does that certificate really work?"

Nowadays, anything can be sold for money. The brothers' graduation certificates were bought from someone else, and they just changed the names on them. It's hard to tell if you really look into it.

Naturally, Chen Ye also knew how the certificate came about: "It shouldn't be a big problem. You can give it a try. If it doesn't work, think of other ways. Although it's hard to get a job nowadays, it's not impossible. As long as you are well-informed, there are still other opportunities."

As long as you have money, it's fine. I'm just worried that if you encounter an opportunity and can't come up with the money, you'll be upset. What's more, what did these two brothers do before? They are much better than others at getting information.

Da Shuang is also a person who will not hesitate once he makes a decision: "As you say, I'll go over and get the job in a moment."

Chen Ye still felt uneasy and asked, "You taking out so much money at once, won't it arouse suspicion?"

Da Shuang shook his head: "No, all the neighbors nearby know that my parents died in the line of duty and left behind some money and a small yard." Of course, this word was spread in advance when he came to live here, and after being passed on for several years, it became a fact.

Even if there were people with bad intentions, they wouldn't be able to find out anything. He and Ershuang's biological parents really lost their money while protecting public property, and they paid some compensation, but no one knew the exact amount.

Their hometown is far away from here. Who would dare to run all the way here to verify something that happened more than ten years ago just to frame him? They must be bored.

At that time, he and his younger brother were still young and had to leave the familiar environment since birth. Otherwise, they would be the only two half-grown boys left and would be eaten by the neighbors.

They were both smart since childhood and never thought about going to live with relatives whom they hadn't seen for eight generations. They simply left their familiar environment and moved to a new place, and cut off contact with their so-called relatives.

It was a little difficult, but he grew up smoothly. Chen Ye's voice brought Da Shuang back to his senses.

"That's fine. Do you have enough money?"

These two brothers are just like the rabbit. It is impossible for them to put their money together. I wonder if they can come up with 600 yuan at once?

Da Shuang nodded: "It's enough. I just got the job. I will go back and discuss with Er Shuang who will do this job."

"Have you two ever thought about moving in together?"

At this time, families rarely live separately. They all live together. With more brothers, they can help each other, and no one dares to bully you easily. It's just like in the countryside, whoever has more brothers is the stronger family.

Da Shuang shook his head: "It's better this way now. Urban hukou is still hard to get. We can't ask anyone to do something just for a hukou. Like you said, a little quiet is better than anything else."

Since I want to settle down, I will cut off some of the previous paths and avoid touching things that I shouldn’t touch, so as not to be affected.

"Okay, you two should just keep quiet for a few years and go to work properly. No one can find fault with you. Wait until the situation improves before thinking about other things. You are still young and have enough money, so why rush?"

How could Da Shuang not understand what Chen Ye meant? He and his younger brother started to make a living outside when they were young, and they were more sensitive to the current tense situation than anyone else.

They thought everything was fine before, but after listening to what Chen Ye said, they no longer had the enthusiasm to work hard to make money. Ye was right, nothing is more important than life and stability. They are still young brothers, and they have a long life ahead of them.

They have no grudges to avenge, nor are they in a hurry to earn money for medical treatment, so why should they be in a hurry?

What they did before was very dangerous. They have no shortage of money or food, so it would be better for them to slow down and move forward steadily step by step.

"Okay, I'll find someone to handle the paperwork in a moment. You really don't need me to wait for you. Let's go back to the county together. Then you'll have someone to accompany you on the road."

Chen Ye shook her head. If Da Shuang had mentioned this before coming, she would have agreed without hesitation, but after what happened today, she always wanted to vent her anger.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be such an impatient person. If she hadn't learned the skill of enduring anger, her life would be in chaos. She suddenly exploded today, but she didn't rule out acting on impulse occasionally.

She has no worries now and doesn't intend to endure everything. She always wants to live her life according to her own wishes. She lived a depressed life for more than ten years in her previous life. Can't she change her way of life in this life?

However, no matter whether the thing is feasible or not, she will not just go ahead with it. She will always look for any loopholes before deciding whether to continue.

She is a person who knows how to deal with current affairs. She can be reckless occasionally, but she will never be foolish or bold.

"No, I still have some things to do, so I'll be back in a few days. You can go to my grandfather and tell him that I'll be back a few days later, so they can rest assured that I'll be home safely."

"Okay, but you must listen to my advice and don't ask about what's going on inside that house. That's not something we should touch."

Chen Ye nodded. No matter how much she wanted to live a carefree life, she would not try to fight against a rock with an egg.
