He went straight to the ward and was relieved to see the boss still lying in bed reading a newspaper. "Boss, you are so brave."
Unexpectedly, the boss could easily take down Lin Qiang, a local tyrant. For a moment, Hou Liang looked at Li Heng as if he were a god. "Boss, from now on, we brothers will follow you. Please don't look down on me."
"It's not my fault." Xu Jing just ran into the muzzle of a gun and happened to catch his superiors searching.
However, according to the original story, the crackdown on gangsters and evil was inevitable. However, the original owner died before he could get justice, and his entire family suffered as a result.
This time he had avenged the original owner, and he felt much more relaxed.
Hou Liang took out the money he had earned these days and put it on his bed. "Boss, please look carefully. I made a lot of money."
Thanks to his boss, Hou Liang's sticker sales were booming. High school girls are naturally attracted to the opposite sex, especially handsome men; they're completely irresistible. Hou Liang had been commissioned to produce many photos of Hua Ze Rui from "Meteor Garden," and the daily sales alone were enough to make him ecstatic. So far, Hou Liang had made a hundred yuan, and if he split the profits with Xu Jing 50/50, he'd still make fifty. Adding in the money he'd earned from the yo-yos, he was almost catching up to what his father had made.
Xu Jing counted it, and it was exactly seventy-five yuan. According to the conversion rate of later generations, seventy-five yuan was equivalent to seven thousand five hundred yuan. When the average salary at that time was only five hundred yuan, this was considered a huge sum of money. When he earned five hundred yuan, he could buy a house.
"Boss, are you still planning to continue going to school?"
"No, I'm going to go to school and tell the teacher that I'm taking a year off. I'll see when the time comes."
Hou Liang breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled brightly. Perhaps with more money, the boss would come to his senses and think that going to high school would be more enjoyable than making money. If he followed him, he would have a meal to eat. "To be honest, I don't want to go to this crappy school anymore. The teacher's explanation is like a mystery, I can't understand it at all. Instead of wasting my money, I might as well go out and work."
"Have you decided what to do?"
Hou Liang shook his head. He had no other options at the moment and was only interested in making money. "Boss, I'll follow you. I'll do whatever you do."
"Are you interested in farming?"
"Huh?" Hou Liang thought he had misheard. Farmers work in the fields year-round, and the harvest alone isn't enough to cover their expenses. To be honest, the money he's earned during this time is enough for farmers to eat for three months. He doesn't want to go back to the countryside to farm. "Boss, you're kidding, right?"
"No." Xu Jing had made up his mind: he would rent a hilltop and farm there. The prerequisite was that he had to earn enough money from reselling things to cover his expenses for three years before he could afford to farm.
"Then I'll follow you." Hou Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"First, we have to find someone."
These days, not having a way to contact someone is annoying. Xu Jing set his sights on Hou Liang. "There's a idiot named Qin Chuan in the village next door. Do you know him?"
"Qin Chuan, I don't know him!" Hou Liang shook his head like a rattle, and then thought of someone. "Fox is known as a know-it-all. I'll bring him over to you so you can ask him."
"OK."
The next day, Hou Liang came with a tall, thin boy who looked like a fox. "Li Heng, I heard you're looking for someone?"
"Yes, I want to find Qin Chuan from the next village." Transportation in the mountains is inconvenient and the roads are not well repaired, so it is difficult to find someone.
The fox, also known as Wu Yu, said, "Wait, I'll give you an answer in two days."
"Okay." I'll be discharged from the hospital in just two days, and then I can work freely.
Thanks to Wu Yu's efforts, he finally found it.
Qin Chuan was farming in Kaihua Village on the other side of the mountain.
Wu Yu's brother, Wu Yun, and the female protagonist, Ye Ziqiu, were both high school seniors. Ye Ziqiu and Qin Chuan were both from Kaihua Village. Wu Yu learned Qin Chuan's true identity from his brother, and he told Li Heng about Qin Chuan's origins without hesitation.
"Qin Chuan's father was a bricklayer in town. He contracted pneumoconiosis and died young. Qin Chuan's mother was so heartbroken that she drank pesticide and died that night, leaving Qin Chuan behind. Qin Chuan experienced the devastation of losing both his parents, and he became mad and a fool."
Speaking of Qin Chuan's life story, Wu Yu sighed. "He's quite miserable. He's been relying on relatives for support all these years. What do you want from him?"
"Nothing, I just heard he's good at farming, so I wanted to ask him for some advice."
Hou Liang scoffed. "Boss, are you stupid? Why are you asking a fool for advice?"
"You can't say that." Wu Yu adjusted his glasses and continued, "Although he's a fool now, he can do the work of three people. Even the villagers praise the quality of his crops. It's not easy for a bachelor like him to survive on three acres of meager land. He's worth learning from."
"Fox, you've become stupid from studying. How much money can you make from farming? And how do you know so much about this person? Have you dug up all his secrets?"
"Go to hell." Wu Yu rolled his eyes. "I heard from my brother that Ye Ziqiu and Qin Chuan are next-door neighbors. Their family is a bit patriarchal, and Ye Ziqiu's only been able to go to high school is thanks to Qin Chuan's financial support. Hey, if this girl wasn't pretty, who would be interested in her?"
A memory about Qin Chuan was instantly loaded into Xu Jing's mind.
Ye Ziqiu and Qin Chuan were childhood sweethearts. When they were little, they even played the game of "the man rides his childhood horse around the sweetheart." Ye Ziqiu was determined to marry Qin Chuan. However, when Qin Chuan was in elementary school, the Qin family suffered a great disaster, and Qin Chuan was the only one left at home.
Ye Ziqiu and Qin Chuan have a mutual sympathy for each other. Originally, he had protected her since she was a child, so it was natural for Ye Ziqiu to take care of Qin Chuan. However, she was caught by her family and scolded, and told not to associate with Qin Chuan.
Gradually, Ye Ziqiu stopped communicating with Qin Chuan. Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan, who had become a fool, did not mind Ye Ziqiu's estrangement. Seeing Ye Ziqiu suffering, he even secretly brought her sweet potatoes.
The Ye family favors boys over girls, and Ye Ziqiu has a younger brother who has never learned anything. However, the family is determined to support his brother's education, so Ye Ziqiu naturally becomes the victim.
During the high school entrance exam, Ye Ziqiu underperformed and was admitted to a regular high school. His family immediately decided to stop him from studying and put his younger brother in school instead. Ye Ziqiu had to work and use the money he earned to support his younger brother.
Ye Ziqiu cried secretly without telling the Ye family, but ran into Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan took out his own savings to support Ye Ziqiu's high school education.
It can be said that Ye Ziqiu was able to go to high school thanks to Qin Chuan's support. Ye Ziqiu was extremely grateful to Qin Chuan and promised to spend his life with him.
