"That's right. My brother said I was his only relative and he was very nice to me."
Um?
Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao both looked at him in surprise.
"The only relative?"
Wang Jianguo knew that he had let the cat out of the bag and seemed a little flustered.
But he soon found an excuse.
"It's like this. We have an older brother. My parents used to favor him and weren't very nice to my brother... and me. After our loving grandmother passed away, my brother and I were left to depend on each other, so he said I was his only relative. Of course, these words... ahem, just forget about them, don't let my parents hear them, or they'll be sad."
"Oh, I see."
Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao glanced at each other and exchanged glances.
"Children who are not favored by their parents have a hard life. No wonder Jianjun doesn't talk much."
Wang Jianguo: "My brother doesn't talk?"
"It's not that he didn't talk, but he rarely talked. Later, when he found out that your sister-in-law was pregnant, he was happy for a while, but then he became unhappy again for some reason."
Wang Jianguo was slightly stunned.
Fu Huaiyi added: "Of course, he doesn't talk much normally. Maybe he's just happy now and has returned to his old ways."
Wang Jianguo smiled uncomfortably, "Yes, actually my brother rarely speaks at home."
Lin Yuyao: "You said your parents treated you and Comrade Jianjun badly and favored your eldest brother. Why did they send your eldest brother away to be a live-in son-in-law?"
Wang Jianguo: “…”
"Well... actually it wasn't my parents who wanted to send my eldest brother to be a live-in son-in-law. It was mainly because my eldest brother wanted to. He fell in love with a woman who had no brothers, and the woman required the man to live-in. In order to be with her, he had no choice but to live-in. Because of this, my parents were hurt, so they shifted their attention from him to me."
Lin Yuyao: “…” She actually gave him a reasonable explanation.
"By the way, you said Fang Qing...my sister-in-law, did she really get a job because of my brother?"
Lin Yuyao: "More than one. I introduced her to a job at a grain and oil station before, but she thought it was too hard and quit. Then I introduced her to another one, and this one paid more."
It’s not that the salary is high later, it’s that the times are developing rapidly and the salary is rising.
"What? I can choose my job?" Wang Jianguo was shocked.
Fu Huaiyi said: "The organization treats the families of martyrs very well and helps them whenever possible. Fang Qing is in trouble, and the leaders cannot just ignore it."
Wang Jianjun listened to his words and began to feel distracted.
There are so many benefits for the families of martyrs, why didn’t that damn Fang Qing tell them?
What's more, she pocketed all the several thousand dollars in compensation.
Damn, how much benefits did this bitch secretly get?
"Don't forget that we are here to hunt, Xiao Wang, where are the prey?" Lin Yuyao reminded.
Wang Jianguo came back to his senses and said repeatedly, "It's my fault. I almost forgot about the main thing. Come with me. I know where there are more prey."
He turned around and looked at the guns in their hands. They were much better than his homemade gunpowder gun.
His gun was always inaccurate and sometimes it exploded, but the gunpowder he filled it with was not very powerful, so the explosion would not hurt anyone.
Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao were here today, and they returned with a full load.
"Brother Fu, your technique is really good. You never miss a shot."
Fu Huaiyi said calmly, "My family has been in the military since my grandfather's generation. I have been playing with guns since I was a child. I graduated from a regular military school, so it's natural for me to be good at it."
Wang Jianguo looked envious, "Then your grandfather fought against the Japanese."
"Yes."
It was dark when the three of them returned. Their family invited them to dinner again and ate the wild rabbit from lunch.
After dinner, Wang Jianjun’s stepmother took them to live in the large tiled house next door.
"You guys should stay here tonight. This room was originally prepared for Jianjun, but it has been empty since he left."
oh? They also reserved a room for Jianjun? It's really amazing.
The next day, they left with their prey.
After they exchanged words with each other, the whole family became excited.
"I didn't expect the higher-ups to be so kind to the families of martyrs. I asked them, and Chenchen's support alone is more than your parents combined. I heard that if you're in real trouble, you can apply for more money. Damn it, that bitch Fang Qing didn't even tell us and kept it a secret from us."
The old man and the old woman also beat their chests and stamped their feet.
"I thought thirty or forty bucks was a godsend, but it turns out we are just being happy for nothing."
The old lady glared at Wang Jianguo and said, "You still say that it's not easy for Fang Qing to raise a son alone outside. She has a house and money, so how can it be difficult for her? It's us who have a hard time. She is living a comfortable life outside, while we are stupidly suffering in the mountains."
Wang Jianguo was very upset.
Then he continued, "I heard from that man that after the New Year, Fang Qing and her family will be able to get a house, and they will probably get a big house. They said that houses in South City are very valuable, and a big house is probably worth tens of thousands."
"What? Tens of thousands?"
It is an astronomical figure for them, the kind they could never even dream of.
One millionaire is a lot, so wouldn’t that house be the property of several millionaires?
Oh my God, if they had a house like this, their family would have more than enough food to eat even if they just lay down.
"Yes, I asked, and they said that one house costs tens of thousands. They also said that houses there are in short supply, and you may not be able to buy one even if you have money. They said that they bought a house last year, and they had to queue up and draw lots, and it cost tens of thousands of dollars including the arrangements. Fang Qing and her family didn't pay for their house, it was given to them by the higher-ups."
It’s free, it’s given to me for free.
They didn't think it was welfare housing allocated by Lu Jiangting's unit. Their first reaction was compensation from Wang Jianjun.
"Is it also given to take care of the families of martyrs?"
"I didn't say that, but I think it's probably true."
Are the families of martyrs so helpful?
The whole family regretted so much that they beat their chests and stamped their feet, thinking that they had suffered a great loss over the years.
"This house shouldn't belong to Fang Qing. It should belong to us."
"She is a married woman, why should she occupy our house? No, old man, we can't let Fang Qing take such a big advantage. Wait until the New Year is over, then you go and make sure you get both the money and the house."
"Okay, Jianguo, we'll go after the New Year."
"Dad, don't worry. I've asked and the house won't be available until March."
The old man was startled, "What does this mean?"
"Fang Qing applied for it. Let's go and make a scene. What if it becomes a disputed house and they don't give it to us? We are not in a hurry. Let's wait until Fang Qing gets the house before we go."
"That's fine. It's hard to buy annual passes right after the New Year. It will be more convenient to go there in March or April. Jianguo, did you get the address?"
He pulled out a piece of paper. "Here, this is the address the man wrote to me."
"Okay, keep this address and we'll go there in March."
