Upon hearing his second brother's words, Wu Changnan looked troubled and said in a low voice, "Never mind..."
Wu Changhong said regretfully, "Our family is finally going to produce a golden phoenix, why don't we put in the effort?"
Wu Yong smoked silently: "The key is that we have no connections. Only the second brother is a cadre, but he has no connections in Jiangcheng. We don't even know how to give gifts or how much to give."
The second brother suggested, "Dad, give me the money, I'll take care of it."
Wu Changfeng quickly grabbed him: "You think you can handle it? You don't even understand village affairs, what can you possibly handle? Are you just trying to scam money?"
"Who's cheating me out of my money!" Wu Changhong retorted, his neck stiff.
Wu Changfeng said, "I don't trust you."
Wu Changfeng then asked Wu Changnan, "Do you really want to become a civil servant?"
Wu Changnan nodded angrily: "Who wouldn't want to! I got first place in both the written and oral exams, but they didn't hire me. Someone must have impersonated me."
Wu Changfeng sighed: "Sometimes things are just like that. Others have connections, while you only have your back to them."
Wu Changnan almost laughed: "What are you talking about! Don't we still have my second brother in the family!"
"Referring to him?" Wu Changfeng said dismissively, "If you want to farm, you should go to him."
"Wu Changfeng!" Wu Changyun gritted his teeth: "Who do you think you are! Are you better than me? What are you pretending for! At least I have the country paying my salary, what about you? It's easy for you to talk. If you're better than us, fine, but you're nothing, just struggling every day."
Wu Changfeng retorted, "Did you rent your mouth? You're like a machine gun. This is home, not some backwater. Nobody listens to you here."
Wu Yong said, "Stop arguing. I've made up my mind. Take the money. Second brother, go take care of your business. I only have these two girls. One is already married, and the other wants to make her own future. As her father, I can't just ignore her."
Wu Changfeng stared at his father in astonishment.
Money won't help!
Who knows you!
Let my second brother find someone; he's just a low-level employee.
Even the leaders of Lianjiang City don't know how to open the door to their homes.
What nonsense!
Frankly speaking, it would have been more effective for me to go to Mayor Cui's house empty-handed.
Wu Yong continued, "Except for Changfeng, the rest of you need to raise the money. We'll have the little girl pay it back later."
The eldest brother's eyes widened: "Isn't this unfair? Why shouldn't Changfeng contribute any money? If we need the girl's help in the future, does she have to help us too? And then she doesn't contribute a single penny, yet she gets everything for free?"
The second brother also stated, "No, Changfeng has to pay too!"
Wu Yong advised, "Changfeng is already struggling to make a living, don't make things difficult for him. Let Changxiu contribute more. The shopkeeper owns a clothing factory, he doesn't need this little bit of money."
The second brother was quite straightforward: "Then why don't we just let Changxiu pay for them all?"
Wu Yong glared at her: "She follows her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog. All that money belongs to someone else. Do you think Changxiu has any money? Who among you knows the suffering she's endured?"
Wu Changfeng asked strangely, "Putting aside the question of whether I pay or not, why did my sister suffer? That Lan Detao is a boss, how could he kill my sister?"
Wu Yong said, "You guys don't know, Changxiu has secretly gone home several times already. Lan Detao is too strict with money. He has to apply for permission for every penny of his daily expenses. How can he spend it all? Sigh, this is no way to live!"
The eldest brother, the second brother, Wu Changfeng, and the little girl all exchanged glances.
They thought their eldest sister was living the best life, but they never expected...
This Lan Detao is so stingy!
Wu Changfeng sighed. No wonder his older sister wasn't wearing any makeup.
They won't even let us buy cosmetics?
That's utterly despicable!
Wu Changfeng was furious: "This bastard needs to be taught a lesson! Where is he?!"
The eldest brother interrupted, "Don't try to be a hero. Changxiu is living her own life. What's it to you?"
The second brother said, "You still want to fight? Can't you use your brain? What problem can that solve?"
Wu Changfeng angrily questioned, "Isn't the eldest sister your sister? The Wu family's children have been bullied like this, and you're telling me you need a brain?"
"You think you're so great?" the second brother shouted. "Then you should take care of the girl's matter first! Changxiu can still manage to live a normal life, but the girl's matter is the most urgent."
It's a bit messy...
One minute she's the eldest sister, the next she's the little girl.
Wu Changfeng had a bit of a headache.
"Alright, then let me show you what my boss is all about!"
Wu Changfeng immediately pulled out his mobile phone.
The eldest and second eldest brothers were completely dumbfounded.
In this day and age, people who own this thing are no ordinary people!
Wu Changfeng pointed to the mobile phone and said, "It's my boss's. You can contact me anytime."
The eldest and second eldest brothers both clicked their tongues at the same time.
I thought you bought it!
Make a phone call.
Wu Changfeng said directly, "It's me. Happy New Year in advance."
"I really don't have anything to do, I just wanted to make a phone call, but now that you've reminded me, I do have something to do."
"I have a sister."
"It's a kiss! Not a dry one!"
"Yes. She just graduated and took the civil service exam in Jiangcheng. She got first place in both the written and oral exams, but she was rejected. Why don't you ask her about it?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but I've already made a big boast, and now the situation is very awkward. If I don't get the news, I might not be able to start work."
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm really embarrassed."
"I know it's Chinese New Year, please help me out."
"Okay, okay. Definitely, definitely. I guarantee I'll complete the task. Don't worry, boss."
"I'm waiting for your message, hurry up!"
Hang up the phone.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
