Chapter 66 The boss discovered
Jin Weiguo told Su He about buying wooden boards.
In this era, people in the city could get two large wardrobe tickets with their marriage certificate and buy two large wardrobes from the supply and marketing department.
But here they are, there is no such restriction.
This is a mountainous area with not much other things but many forests and trees. The villagers have limited farmland, and most of the land is mountainous. They rely on hunting in the mountains and sell some wood to furniture factories in other places.
These pieces of wood were originally personal property, but once there were more of them, every household could always save up a lot, so the carpenters here had no shortage of work or wood. If one family didn't have enough wood, two families would come together to make up for it.
In short, Jin Weiguo found the right person in Lao He.
Lao He was also born and raised here. Whenever the people in the family compound want to do carpentry work or make furniture, they come to him. He is very familiar with him.
Jin Weiguo explained all this to Su He, and concluded, "So, even though furniture isn't readily available outside, there are plenty of trees here, so farmers don't need them. I asked Lao He for enough wooden planks to cover 20 square meters, and he said they'd be ready after the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Su He: "That's fine, I've never seen it anywhere else. Where can I buy wooden flooring?"
Jin Weiguo: "There must be somewhere that sells wooden flooring, but we definitely can't buy it here! Even if we could, we don't have that much money!"
Su He: "Those people were gossiping just now. Why did you say that? If you don't cover it up, will others really beat me up?"
Jin Weiguo: "No, it's mainly because everyone's life is pretty much the same. If we stand out too much, we'll be noticed. There's no need to cause trouble for ourselves! The family compound is different. Every family has someone working in the company. If they have a bad life, it's their own fault."
Su He later learned that materials were scarce in that era, but she never expected people's hearts to be so evil. This place was like a paradise, where farmers could sell vegetables at home, which was already very good. However, the way she bought it was really too conspicuous.
Su He: "Well, I'll pay attention to it next time. By the way, you can rest at home for the next two days, so why not renovate the oven and the fireplace in the study?"
"Okay, I know," the man agreed. As they walked to a deserted street, he changed the subject. "The dream you had last time was about your brother. Do you remember any other details?"
Su He: "What details do you want to know?"
Jin Weiguo: "For example, did you actually see someone holding the blueprints in your dream? Or did someone say that in your dream?"
Su He: "In the dream, I saw my brother take something and give it to someone else, but no one else saw it. It was just a dream, how could I see it so clearly?"
The man nodded. "In other words, is there another possibility? Someone took out the blueprints, gave them to Su Yi, and told him I asked him to pass on a copy. He must have been quite proud of himself, thinking he was being used. He handed over the items as instructed, took the money, and thought he had done a great deed! But your brother is my brother-in-law. Even if I didn't handle them, they were my drawings... In this case, it's not me, but me!"
Although he said "㱕" like a tongue twister, Su He understood it.
When we were at home, little brother Su didn't seem to be particularly smart. To be honest, he was even a bit stupid. His love of taking advantage of others was written all over his face, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't notice. For a person like him, it would be really difficult to let him do such a big thing on his own!
Unless someone lends Brother Su a hand!
Su He was a little worried, and her tone became more formal. "In this case, you have to be more careful. This means that this person might have come across your picture at some point, and he also knows about our family relationship! He might even be close to you!"
Jin Weiguo also nodded: "I have sorted out the work process again in the past few days. I will not let this happen!"
This topic was a bit heavy, and the two of them turned to talking about what to eat for lunch. After walking for a while, more people came and this place was already close to the family area.
They entered the house, but no one was there. Su He went to the Yuan family next door to look for her mother-in-law and three children.
Arriving at Yuan's house, Su He saw two young people there. After seeing the girls' appearance, Su He guessed that this must be the youngest daughter that Mrs. Yuan mentioned.
Su He: "Mrs. Yuan, are there guests at home?"
Mrs. Yuan: "Xiaomei is back with her boyfriend for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Have you guys come back from shopping?"
Teacher Wu invited Da Mao and Er Mao to go home together.
