“He has no professional ethics.”

Jiang Yang pointed at the man digging the well angrily, "We agreed on 60 yuan before, but he came here and raised the price by 10 yuan. Isn't this just raising the price? How can he be like this? He has no professional ethics as a businessman."

The man who was digging the well was a man in his forties, wearing a blue cloth jacket. He had a shrewd look and a gleam in his eyes. He looked like a seasoned man who had raised the price many times.

Compared to Jiang Yang, he was emotionally stable and patiently explained things to Yang Niannian.

"60 yuan is the price for digging a well at a depth of 15 meters. According to the location here, we need to dig at least 20 meters, maybe 30 meters before we can find water. I asked for an extra 10 yuan, but it might not be enough. If you ask someone else to dig a well, the price will definitely be higher. You can't just think about giving me more money without analyzing why I asked for so much money."

"Do you think I haven't seen how much it costs to dig a well?" Jiang Yang said loudly, "In our village, it only costs 50 yuan to dig a well."

"If you say so, go find someone else to do the water drawing. I can't draw water from your well." The man pulled the cart loaded with tools and was about to leave.

Yang Niannian rolled her eyes and called the man over, "Uncle, how about this? If it's within 15 meters, it's 60 yuan. For every meter beyond that, I'll give you an extra yuan. How about that?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay." Anyway, he wouldn't lose money anyway.

Yang Niannian pointed to the left side of the house and said, "Let's play here. It's convenient for drinking water and won't be a problem."

The man didn't have any objection. It didn't matter to him where the strike took place. He pulled the cart over and prepared to start work. Jiang Yang ran over and squatted to watch.

Yang Niannian, "I bought you some dumplings, go eat them quickly."

Jiang Yang squatted there motionless, "I'll eat later." He wanted to keep an eye on how much rice the man harvested so as not to let the man cheat him out of his money.

Yang Niannian patted him on the head and said, "It will take a while to dig a well. Go eat quickly."

An An jumped off the tricycle and brought the dumplings to Jiang Yang, "Brother Jiang Yang, this is stuffed with chives. It's delicious."

After being beaten, Jiang Yang became obedient. He took the dumplings and carried them into the house, then turned around and left.

Just like the farmhand in Yang Niannian's family, he honestly carried Jiang Yueyue down from the truck bed, parked the tricycle, and moved all the things in the truck bed into the house before squatting beside the bed to eat dumplings.

Yang Niannian sat on the bed and glared at him, "You should use your brain when encountering problems. You can't just act recklessly and show off your bravery. You won't achieve anything great this way. Have you ever seen anyone in history who has accomplished great things be as impulsive as you? We are people who want to do great things. We should use our brains more. Solving problems with brute force is the dumbest thing to do. In serious cases, we may even end up in jail."

"I want to save some money." Jiang Yang changed her angry look towards the man just now, and ate dumplings quietly, like a bullied wife, with red eyes.

When Yang Niannian saw him like this, she suddenly remembered that he was just a 16-year-old boy and not even an adult.

She sighed, stroked his hair (like stroking a cat), and counseled him in the tone of an old mother.

"I know you want to help me save money, but in my eyes, you are more important than money. What if you get into a fight with someone over this 10 dollars?"

Hearing her say this, Jiang Yang's heart warmed up, and he stiffened his neck and said, "That old man is old, he can't beat me."

The love that Yang Niannian had just felt dropped several degrees in an instant. "If you win the fight, you'll go to jail. If you lose, you'll be hospitalized. What happened today is just a reference. You're not allowed to be so impulsive in the future. Do you hear me?"

"Brother, I don't want you to go to jail." Jiang Yueyue blinked her big eyes and said pitifully.

Jiang Yang felt like there was a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat. He choked and said, "Hmm," "I'll be less impulsive next time."

"So good." Yang Niannian smiled and stroked his hair again.

After being stroked by her, Jiang Yang became as obedient as a donkey in seconds, and the dumplings in his mouth tasted even better.

Seeing that Jiang Yang took her words to heart, Yang Niannian prepared to do the important things first, "After you finish your meal, give the soda to the big brothers working on the construction. I'll take An An and Yue Yue to buy a fan."

After that, she picked up Jiang Yueyue and walked out with An An. Jiang Yang blushed like a child and asked, "Can I have a bottle?"

Yang Nian didn't reply, "Of course, I bought yours anyway."

Jiang Yang was so excited that he bit off a bottle cap and gulped down half of the bottle. His eyes lit up because it tasted so good. He had never tasted anything so delicious before.

When he makes money in the future, he will buy this for them to drink every day.

…

Yang Niannian pedaled a tricycle, huffing and puffing, to buy an electric fan. Riding a tricycle was much more tiring than riding a bicycle. Her legs began to feel sore after she had been pedaling for a while.

Fortunately, the roads in the city are all asphalt. If it were a muddy road, my legs would have been broken.

Yang Niannian has a pretty and distinctive appearance, the kind that is easy to remember. She had come to buy an electric fan before, and this time when she came, the store owner recognized her.

He was very enthusiastic, and when he learned that she wanted to buy two electric fans, his eyes were like car headlights.

"Is the fan you used earlier useful? Do you want to buy the same one?"

"Let's just buy the same one as before. Can you give me a discount?" Yang Niannian asked tentatively.

"The prices of electrical appliances are all fixed, I really can't give you a discount." The boss looked embarrassed, and finally, as if cutting his own flesh, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are a regular customer and you are quick to buy things, I will save one dollar on the fan. What do you think?"

"Thank you, boss." Yang Niannian took out the money with a smile, counted it and handed it to him, "Boss, count it."

The shop owner took the money, spat to moisten his hands, counted it quietly, and put the money into his pocket with a smile on his face.

"Yes, that's just right. I'll help you move the fan to the car."

An An was worried sick. Her aunt's pockets were empty. Would their family go bankrupt?

Jiang Yueyue also opened her round eyes and covered her mouth in surprise. There was so much money, she had never seen so much money before.

Yang Niannian didn't notice the child's expression. She bent down, picked up Yueyue, and said to An An, "Let's go. We can go home now."

An An quickly followed with his short legs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I heard someone shouting, "Nian Nian?"

Yang Niannian looked in the direction of the voice and immediately rolled her eyes. It was so unlucky. Why was he everywhere?

Fang Heng quickly walked up to Yang Niannian and said, "Niannian, we are really destined to meet again."

Yang Niannian put Jiang Yueyue in the truck bed and ignored him.

Seeing this, An An guessed that Fang Hengfei must not be a good person, so she quickly stood in front of Fang Hengfei and said with a stern face, "Stay away from my aunt."

Fang Hengfei looked at An An, frowned and asked, "Who is this little brat?"

Yang Niannian is not of high generation, so why is she treated as someone's aunt?

Yang Niannian, "My son."

"You became a stepmother?" Fang Hengfei's voice suddenly rose. "Yang Niannian, for the sake of money and status, you married an old man and became a stepmother to his children?"

Men in the army usually get married late. Now they have a son and a daughter, so they must be at least in their thirties or forties.

When he thought of Yang Niannian lying in the arms of a man in his thirties or forties at night, he became jealous to the point of going crazy.

"What's it got to do with you? It's none of your business." Yang Niannian glared at him and bent down to carry An An into the car.

Fang Hengfei said angrily, "Yang Niannian, I know I hurt your heart, but you can't be so depraved. Are you deliberately trying to make me feel guilty?"

He reached out to grab Yang Niannian, but she took a step back and dodged him.

An An stood in front of Yang Niannian again like a little adult, pinching her waist and glaring at Fang Hengfei, "Don't touch my aunt. My father is a good fighter. If he knew you were bullying my aunt, he would come over and beat your front teeth out."

He blamed himself for not being tall enough and unable to protect Yang Niannian.

There are too many bad men out there, so he wants to go back and tell his father to send an army to protect his aunt.

Jiang Yueyue also said fiercely, "My brother is also very good at fighting. He will beat you into a pig's head."
