Qiao Wanyue bit her lip, afraid that she would laugh out loud.
Yang Dongliang gritted his teeth.
Serves you right!
He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead, dragging down his own eldest son.
Qiao Sheng still wanted to make one last struggle.
Wei Kangjian said meaningfully, "Qiao Sheng, your Qiao Family Brigade hasn't been doing very well in recent years."
Qiao Sheng froze instantly.
He glared at Qiao Wanyue with resentment.
That damned, rebellious daughter.
Wei Kangjian remained expressionless; he showed no interest in learning about the family circumstances of the commune members.
But Qiao Sheng was too muddle-headed. Not only did he bring his own family's messy affairs to his attention, but he also damaged the commune's image.
If he's still not clear-headed, there's no point in him being the captain.
Qiao Sheng was clearly unaware that Wei Kangjian knew everything about his family situation.
He stared at Qiao Wanyue resentfully, as if she were the cause of everything.
Qiao Wanyue was in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
She was thinking about how to make the leaders start to dislike Qiao Sheng, but she hadn't come up with a good method yet.
He walked right into the line of fire. Wei Kangjian was no old-fashioned man. He went to the battlefield in his teens and participated in the country's early construction. He had a connection to rural areas, which is why he volunteered to participate in the commune reform during the country's turmoil. Qiao Sheng was taking himself too seriously if he tried to play tricks on him.
"Yang Dongliang, stop smiling." Wei Kangjian said with obvious disgust.
Yang Dongliang grinned, showing his big teeth.
He's happy when Qiao Sheng is unlucky.
The captain immediately wiped the smile off his face and said seriously, "Yes, sir."
Qiao Sheng felt even more heartbroken.
But nobody paid any attention to Qiao Sheng, thinking he was a bit out of his mind. The leader had clearly stated that he liked Qiao Wanyue very much, and that she was a beautiful girl with substance. Those plans were something that the old guys like them could never come up with.
Instead of cherishing such a treasure, he flaunts it in front of his superiors, does he really think others can't tell?
The scandals in Qiao Sheng's family, how he treated his daughter since she was a child, were known to everyone in the streets and alleys. The eldest daughter of the Qiao family brigade leader suffered since childhood, and the younger daughter fell in love with the eldest daughter's fiancé and got a marriage certificate without telling anyone.
The whole family abused the eldest daughter, forcing them to break off the engagement. Even after the breakup, they continued to cause trouble for her.
"Leader, about those people in the cowshed..." Captain Geng was somewhat tempted. He didn't care about Qiao Sheng's mess. Although he had also had a conflict with Qiao Wanyue, that was Geng Changsheng's fault. As the captain, he still had to be shameless and learn from her experience.
Wei Kangjian: "I'll pretend I don't know what you're doing."
Captain Geng understood immediately.
"Comrade Qiao, do you have any ideas on what kind of fruit trees are suitable for our land?"
Qiao Wanyue thought for a moment, "Apples, pears, hawthorns, these can not only be sold, but also made into canned goods. There is a lot of non-arable land in Gengjia Brigade. You can plant them on the hillside without taking up arable land."
Captain Geng admired her even more after seeing that she had thought about it seriously.
His mind immediately started racing. The Gengjia Brigade was so poor that all that was left was people. There were people in their brigade who could help with tilling the land. He vaguely remembered that there were a few old professors in the greenhouse, so he didn't need to worry about the talent.
But buying fruit trees is a considerable sum of money; even if he sold himself, he couldn't come up with such a large amount.
So he looked at Wei Kangjian pleadingly.
Wei Kangjian rolled his eyes. "Spit it out if you have something to say."
"Leader, can the commune approve some money?"
Wei Kangjian: "No."
“If everyone were like you, always thinking about getting money from the commune when they’re doing a side business, how much money would the commune be willing to raise for you? If you have any difficulties, figure it out yourselves,” Wei Kangjian said calmly.
Captain Geng slumped dejectedly on the table, trying to think of a solution, but he couldn't just steal it.
Qiao Wanyue laughed and said, "Captain Geng, the return on investment for fruit trees takes a long time. If you really lose money, who will the leaders complain to? Why don't you think of other solutions first? Doesn't the brigade have some ready-made ones?"
Captain Geng's eyes were glazed over. "What's readily available?"
Qiao Wanyue reminded her, "What are you planting on the hillside now?"
