Liang Jinbu was stunned, obviously not expecting his elder brother Liang Jinheng to ask such a question.
His face changed, and he stiffened his neck and replied, "Of course I have my own way! I have a lot of friends, and if they let me know, I'll go!"
friend.
What kind of friend would do him such a big favor?
Liang Jinheng looked at Liang Jinbu's obviously evasive eyes and naturally didn't believe what he said was true.
No one in his family told Liang Jinbu clearly what his job was like. They only vaguely said in the letter that his second brother Liang Jinbu was now a city worker with a stable job, and told him that if he had any problems in the future, he could report directly to Liang Jinbu's factory, which would be faster.
Now that I think about it, the reason why my parents didn’t elaborate on this matter at the time was probably because Liang Jinbu’s job was not easy to come by.
But now is not the time to pursue this. Liang Jinheng is more concerned about what Liang Jinbu just said.
He stared at Liang Jinbu with a sharp gaze and demanded, "Liang Jinbu, no matter how you got that job, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Does it matter to you whether I retire or not?"
Of course it does!
He was still waiting for him to send the workshop director's son to the army so that he could get a regular job!
But Liang Jinbu couldn't say this directly no matter how brave he was.
He knew that his elder brother always had a bad temper. If he knew that he was planning to plot against him in this way, he would probably be really angry with him in the future.
Therefore, Liang Jinbu's thoughts turned, his expression suddenly changed, and he sighed sadly.
"Brother, I said the wrong thing just now, and my attitude wasn't very nice, but I really care about you, and I was shocked by the news of your discharge."
"Brother, you joined the army when you were fifteen. For the past ten years, you've been serving in the army and carrying out missions. Every time you've been there, it's been glorious. Now that you're home, can you get used to working in the fields again? Not to mention you, even I've been working in the city for a few months, and now I'm not used to coming home. I'm not so good at some farm work, not to mention you, you haven't done this kind of work in more than ten years, so I'm really worried about you."
Upon hearing this, Liang Jinheng just wanted to look at him expressionlessly, and even felt that what Liang Jinbu said was a little ridiculous.
He wouldn't really think that serving in the army is a glamorous job, where he can sit in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers like the big bosses in the unit.
He had earned all his achievements with his own hard work. Although he didn't have to farm or grow vegetables, the hardships he endured while on missions were beyond the imagination of even Liang Jinbu. What was the point of going home to do farm work?
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I know what I want to do and what I want to say!" Liang Jinbu looked at him impatiently.
He didn't believe that Liang Jinbu said so much just to show his concern for him.
Liang Jinbu looked at him expectantly and asked, "Brother, is it true that you can't return to the army?"
Liang Jinheng said coldly: "No."
Liang Jinbu felt disappointed when he heard him speak so decisively.
But he still didn't give up and continued to ask, "Then your relationships with your friends and brothers in the army should still be there, right? Big brother, you have been in the army for so many years, you must know a lot of people. You and those people have been through life and death together. If they don't like you just because you've retired, then what kind of brothers are you!"
Liang Jinbu deliberately spoke with righteous indignation.
Liang Jinheng frowned: "It doesn't matter whether we are related or not. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet in the future. What's the point of saying this?"
When Liang Jinbu heard this, he finally couldn't help but tell his purpose.
"How can they be useless? If, if you need their help, they will definitely help you!"
Liang Jinheng fell silent, and the look he gave him was as cold as ice.
"So you came to me and said these things because you needed help with something."
He didn't even say this in a questioning tone, but in a rather affirmative one.
Although Liang Jinbu felt a little embarrassed about being exposed, he had no choice but to speak up when he thought about becoming a regular employee.
"Brother, this isn't about me, it's about the director of my workshop. He wanted to send his son to the army, but he didn't know how to get in, so he came to me to ask for your help. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I agreed. But now you've suddenly retired, and I already promised him that. I don't know what to do."
Liang Jinheng said indifferently: "If you want to join the army, then pay attention to the army's recruitment information and join according to the rules. Is there anything I can help you with?"
When Liang Jinbu heard this, he almost cursed Liang Jinheng to death in his heart.
Brother, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
Everyone knows that they can go through regular recruitment channels, but that’s because there are special circumstances!
The workshop director's son was too short and not very strong, and did not meet the minimum hardware requirements for conscription. However, he was eager to join the army. Otherwise, how could the workshop director use such a big temptation to get Liang Jinbu's help!
If you calculate the cost of getting a regular position, it will probably cost three or four hundred yuan. Now that the director said this, isn't it equivalent to him earning four hundred yuan for nothing?
Not only that, he also promised himself that after he was converted to a regular employee, he would be transferred to an easier position where he wouldn't have to work as hard as he does now and would earn less.
These words were like a pie in the sky in front of Liang Jinbu's eyes. How could he give up just like that?
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth. I'm still a temporary worker, but the boss promised me that as long as I can find a way to get his son into the army, he'll make me a regular employee. So see if you can find a way to get him in. At worst, I'll give you a hundred yuan as a thank you gift!"
When talking about the hundred yuan, Liang Jinbu almost gritted his teeth and his heart was bleeding.
One hundred yuan! His current salary is only over 20 yuan. How long will it take him to save that much money if he doesn’t eat or drink?
But once this matter is settled and he becomes a regular employee, his salary will be over 30 yuan. Even if he saves 10 yuan a month, that will only last for ten months!
So thinking about it this way, Liang Jinbu felt that this was quite a good deal.
As for whether his elder brother Liang Jinheng would agree, he felt that any normal person would probably agree.
After all, my eldest brother is now retired and unemployed. His wife and children's lives may be in trouble in the future. Wouldn't he be tempted by a reward of 100 yuan at this time?
Only a fool wouldn't do something that only requires him to move his lips and talk to someone!
After making his request, Liang Jinbu waited expectantly for his elder brother Liang Jinheng's nod.
But after a long time, Liang Jinheng didn't say anything, and even the way he looked at him became as if he was looking at something "garbage" or "trash".
Liang Jinbu felt uncomfortable, "Brother, what on earth are you——"
"go out."
Liang Jinbu's voice was directly interrupted by Liang Jinheng.
He looked at his second brother with a face as cold as ice.
How can he have the nerve to say such things!
Where did he put the rules of the army? Anyone can join the army, so can the rules be changed at will?
"Brother?" Liang Jinbu looked at him in disbelief, as if he didn't expect Liang Jinheng to react like this.
Liang Jinheng's face darkened as he suppressed his anger and spoke again, "I'll say it again, get out! If I hear you say such nonsense again, I won't be polite to you, no matter if you are my brother or not!"
Liang Jinbu widened his eyes, and it took him a while to confirm that Liang Jinheng was rejecting him.
Not only that, he meant that if I mentioned this again, he would beat me?
"No, brother, what do you mean? Can't you help me with this? This is related to my job! I even promised to give you an extra hundred dollars!"
Liang Jinbu had a skeptical look on his face, as if to say, "Are you still my brother?"
In his opinion, this was a piece of cake for Liang Jinheng and he didn't have to do anything extra.
Seeing that he was still talking nonsense, Liang Jinheng finally couldn't stand it anymore and simply grabbed his collar and dragged him out.
Liang Jinbu inherited most of his height and appearance from Miao Chunhong. He is not tall, at most 1.7 meters, and he has never liked to work and does not have much strength.
When Liang Jinheng grabbed his collar and pulled him up, he was completely stunned.
Like a little chicken, it had no chance to resist in Liang Jinheng's hands.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted, "Brother, what are you doing! Put me down!"
"You, cough cough, your neck hurts, let me go quickly!"
But Liang Jinheng had a dark face and remained unmoved.
Liang Jinbu started to get scared and shouted towards the main house at the top of his voice: "Dad, Mom, help me, come and save me!"
When Miao Chunhong and Old Man Liang in the house heard the noise, their faces suddenly changed and they ran out without even putting on their shoes.
When they arrived in the yard, they saw Liang Jinheng pulling Liang Jinbu's collar, and Liang Jinbu's face was red and his neck was thick, and he was still struggling desperately.
Miao Chunhong was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed, "Liang Jinheng, are you crazy? Let go of Lao Er!"
As she said this, she quickly ran over to rescue Liang Jinbu from Liang Jinheng. Just as she was about to reach out to pinch Liang Jinheng's arm, Liang Jinheng loosened his grip and let Liang Jinbu go.
Liang Jinbu didn't expect him to let go suddenly and fell to the ground.
"Ahem, Mom, look at him, look at him, he almost strangled me to death!"
Liang Jinbu covered his neck and coughed violently, accusing others of the consequences in fear.
When Miao Chunhong saw him like this, she felt so distressed and hurried to help Liang Jinbu up. Unfortunately, Liang Jinbu was so scared that his legs went weak and he couldn't stand up at all.
Seeing that his legs were shaking, Miao Chunhong naturally thought that Liang Jinheng had done something to him, and she immediately became even more arrogant.
She couldn't help but glare at Liang Jinheng, but she didn't dare to confront him because she was also afraid of Liang Jinheng's appearance just now.
So she could only vent her anger on Old Man Liang who was standing beside her.
"Old Liang, what are you still doing standing there? Come over and help!"
Old Man Liang looked here, then looked right there, and finally sighed heavily, then came over and pulled Liang Jinbu up.
Miao Chunhong gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Look at how your good son has bullied the second child! If I don't tell you the truth today, I will never give up!"
After saying that, he helped Liang Jinbu to the main house and threatened Old Man Liang to handle the matter properly.
Old man Liang stood there, his brows furrowed with wrinkles.
Seeing Miao Chunhong and the others enter the house, Old Man Liang looked at Liang Jinheng with melancholy and asked, "What's the matter? How could you treat your brother like that? Even if he is no longer a man, you can't, you can't take his life..."
When he saw Liang Jinheng's appearance just now, he felt a little scared.
Normally, when Liang Jinheng has no expression on his face, he looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. When he is really angry, no one dares to say anything.
But if he doesn't sort out this matter today, the old woman will definitely quarrel with him.
Hearing this, Liang Jinheng looked at Old Man Liang and said impatiently, "I didn't use much strength at all. He was just too weak."
Although his actions looked ruthless, he actually knew his limits. He just grabbed Liang Jinbu by the collar and pulled him out, and he could also make him shut up. It was impossible for him to really cause any harm to him.
If he didn't do this, he would have to listen to that bastard Liang Jinbu's bullshit.
Old man Liang choked and thought to himself, who is asking you this? What he wanted to know is why Liang Jinheng did this!
"What did the second brother do just now to make you like this..."
Liang Jinheng snorted coldly: "What did he do? He's being stupid!"
Old man Liang felt uneasy when Liang Jinheng looked at him coldly with those dark eyes. What did he do to make Liang Jinheng so angry? The second brother was really something. Wasn't he usually the smartest? Why did he make such a fool of himself today and fall into the hands of his eldest brother?
Old man Liang muttered a few words in his heart, but his face still had an embarrassed expression.
"No matter what, he's still your brother. You can't do that. It would be terrible if it got out."
"It would be bad if it gets out?" Liang Jinheng looked at him coldly and said word by word, "Do you really have to wait until he sends me to jail before you start to criticize him?"
It has been like this since he was a child. As an older brother, he must give in to his younger siblings. Even if they are clearly wrong, he, as the older brother, has to endure and give in, and in the end, he is the one who gets scolded.
Liang Jinheng had long felt his parents' partiality, but at this moment he still couldn't help but get angry.
Old Man Liang was shocked by his words.
"Going to jail? What's going on! How is this possible? The second child is the most sensible one. Are you overthinking it?"
Overthinking?
Forcing someone in there against the army's rules is not only illegal, but also a serious violation of laws and discipline!
However, he was afraid that even if he explained these rules to Old Man Liang, he would not understand them. Therefore, Liang Jinheng did not bother to explain them in detail. He only asked, "How did he get that job?"
Old Man Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he said in panic, "That's how it happened. Didn't the second brother tell you?"
Liang Jinheng's gaze was getting closer and closer.
"He didn't tell me, Dad. Tell me honestly, is there anything shameful about his job?"
Old Man Liang avoided his gaze.
"No, there's nothing shameful about it. You're overthinking it."
Seeing him like this, Liang Jinheng had a clearer idea in his mind.
I'm afraid Liang Jinbu didn't get that job through any formal channels.
Given the premise that he had just asked him to go to the army and just insert someone, he even began to suspect whether Liang Jinbu had used some unorthodox means to get this job.
"Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I'll go to his factory tomorrow and ask him about it! If he got this job through illegal channels, then he shouldn't do it!"
These are all hidden dangers that will explode if you are not careful. Now that he knows about them, of course he has to correct them in time.
Old Man Liang was dumbfounded.
"What are you going to say to his factory? He's doing a good job. There's really nothing shameful about him!"
Buying a job is now a very normal thing. There are even people who specifically sell jobs at high prices. The factory leaders don’t know about it yet, but they won’t stop it.
After all, in their eyes, it doesn't matter who does the work, as long as someone can do the work.
So there is nothing shameful about Liang Jinbu buying a job.
The reason why he didn't dare to tell Liang Jinheng was because he didn't want Liang Jinheng to know that the money his brother used to buy a job was spent by him, Liang Jinheng!
And it was deducted from the money he sent to Wen Wan's mother!
"Since there is nothing shameful, why don't you tell me the truth?" Liang Jinheng asked.
“This, this…”
"If you don't tell the truth, then I can only assume that he got this job through illicit means, which is harmful to me and my family." Liang Jinheng looked at him expressionlessly. "To be on the safe side, I will stop this risky thing in time and have Liang Jin quit this job."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, and it seemed like he might really go to Liang Jinbu's leader to talk about this matter, old man Liang's eyebrows were almost twisted into ropes.
In the end, after struggling for a long time, he finally gave up resistance and spoke.
"Okay, I'm telling you, isn't it okay for me to tell you the truth..."
Liang Jinheng looked at him quietly, waiting for the "truth" to come from Old Man Liang.
Old Man Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "He bought this job."
Bought it?
Is it necessary to hide what you bought? Is it so shameful?
Liang Jinheng was confused and secretly wondered if there was some other hidden story behind this.
Otherwise, just the job of buying a house wouldn't have been enough to make his father so speechless.
So he asked, "How much did it cost and who did you buy it from?"
"It cost four hundred..."
After saying this, Old Man Liang lowered his head and looked at the ground, not daring to look at Liang Jinheng again.
He knew that Liang Jinheng would probably react as soon as he heard the word "four hundred".
They are a group of country farmers who don't have much money left at the end of the year.
Although there was a subsidy from Liang Jinheng, most of the money he sent back was given to Wen Wan and the two children, and the rest was only a few yuan a month for their pension.
These few dollars are actually not a small amount, almost the same as the work points they get from working in the brigade every month.
But they can't just go without food and drink and save every penny of the money.
Therefore, relying solely on their work points and the pension Liang Jinheng sent them, it was impossible for them to have such a large sum of money to buy a job for Liang Jinbu.
therefore.......
After hearing that number, Liang Jinheng's face became uglier than ever.
There was a dark rage in his eyes, and he asked Old Man Liang with gritted teeth.
"Where did that four hundred dollars come from?"
Old Man Liang said nothing.
"I ask, where did the four hundred yuan come from!" A roar came out of Liang Jinheng's mouth. He could no longer hold back the overwhelming anger in his heart.
