Liang Jinbu said casually, "It's nothing, it's just that Sister Dulan helped a little."
Duran?
Old Man Liang was unfamiliar with the name, but Miao Chunhong and Liang Hongling beside him were taken aback. Then they asked in surprise, "Is it Du Lan from our commune?"
"Is it Sister Du Lan from the commune cadre's family?"
Liang Jinbu didn't think it was surprising that Miao Chunhong and Liang Hongling knew Du Lan.
After all, it was Miao Chunhong who asked someone to help introduce Du Lan to his elder brother Liang Jinheng.
Unfortunately, Liang Jinheng was stubborn at the time and insisted on marrying Wen Wan, who had nothing. He even refused to agree to the good conditions from Sister Du Lan's family.
In Liang Jinbu's opinion, he didn't do that for love, he was just stupid.
What is love? Is it as important as having a job or a future?
So after that, although Du Lan hated everyone in the Liang family because Liang Jinheng refused to marry her, Liang Jinbu had the only one she hated. Under Liang Jinheng's careful care and protection, the relationship between Du Lan and Liang Jinbu was still good. At least it was not the kind where enemies would become jealous of each other when they met.
This time it was a coincidence.
On the day of the family division, he left home angrily and was about to go to the factory in town to continue working. When he passed by the commune revolutionary committee, he suddenly met Duran.
Although he was in a bad mood, he still greeted Duran.
He thought Duran would be indifferent to him like before, but he didn't expect that this time Duran would actually call him and ask him with concern what was wrong and what happened, and why his face looked so ugly.
The family division was too embarrassing. Liang Jinbu had not intended to talk about it, but he really needed an outlet to vent and complain at that time. In addition, Duran hated his elder brother Liang Jinheng so much that he could not help but tell him about Liang Jinheng's division of the family and his ruthless taking away of all their belongings.
At that time, Duran snorted coldly and said that Liang Jinheng was indeed a scumbag.
Liang Jinbu couldn't agree more.
However, even after cursing, his heavy mood still did not get much relief, because when he went to the factory later, he might face the director's targeting and difficulties, and he might even lose this hard-earned job.
Duran noticed his uneasiness again and continued to question him.
Liang Jinbu thought that since it had come to this, he told her about it.
To his surprise, Duran snorted disdainfully after hearing what he said. He said, "That's it. What's so sad about such a small matter? Just tell that workshop director of yours my dad's name, and he won't dare to do anything."
Her father is the deputy director of the commune's revolutionary committee and a well-known figure in the area.
Although she is the deputy director, because the director is not in good health, many things are actually handled by her father. Therefore, her father has great power, and the small factories in the town have to give him some face.
Liang Jinbu was stunned at the time. He didn't expect that the surprise and luck would come so suddenly.
He thanked Duran excitedly and said that he didn't know how to thank Sister Duran for her great kindness.
Duran suddenly told him that if he was willing, she actually needed his help with something.
Duran helped him so much, how could Liang Jinbu refuse? So he listened to Duran carefully and helped her.
But there was no need for him to tell these things to his family. He just wanted them to know that he could get a permanent job in the future.
"Oh my God, I knew that Du Lan was our family's lucky star! If that damn Liang Jinheng hadn't married her earlier, our family would have been prosperous a long time ago!"
Miao Chunhong started scolding Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan again.
But Old Man Liang asked cautiously: "Why would she help you, Second Brother? Are you on good terms with her?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He always felt uneasy when he heard this.
Liang Jinbu frowned and said impatiently, "Sister Dulan is kind-hearted. Can't she bear to see me being bullied? You have to see everyone as profitable. Dad, your thinking is too dirty!"
After hearing this, Old Man Liang was at a loss for words.
Miao Chunhong also scolded him.
"What do you know? You know, maybe Duran is helping me because she sees that my family has made progress, right? She had such a bad reputation back then, and she hasn't been married for so many years. Isn't that why no one dared to marry her? My family's progressive people are good-looking and have good jobs, so she must be eager to get them!"
In Miao Chunhong's eyes, her son Liang Jinbu is good in every way. Even Du Lan, the daughter of the commune leader, can only be said to be barely worthy of him.
Seeing that she had brought up this, Old Man Liang sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I don't care about this matter anymore. Anyway, you are so old, so you should take care of yourself."
After saying that, he went back to the bed and smoked.
However, Liang Hongling couldn't help but start thinking about what her mother said. She looked at her second brother Liang Jinbu and secretly felt that her second brother was not as good-looking as her eldest brother, not as tall as her eldest brother, and not even as strong as her eldest brother.
Liang Hongling believed that Duran would fall in love with the eldest brother and help him do this and that.
But second brother, he is just passable at best. Could it be that Duran would be so hungry as to be so indiscriminate?
Even if she marries the second brother in the future, she will be disgusted to death when she sees the eldest brother's family.
Liang Hongling expressed her confusion about this.
But she didn't mention that first. She rolled her eyes, tugged at Liang Jinbu's sleeve, and asked with a smile, "Hey, second brother, you said Sister Dulan is such a good person, is there any chance she can help me?"
Liang Jinbu pulled out his sleeves and looked at her with a frown.
"How would I know this? Ask her yourself!"
Liang Hongling was a little angry.
"You said you had a good relationship with Sister Dulan, but I'm your sister. Please help me find out what's going on!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Jinbu asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you?"
Liang Hongling thought of what Wen Wan said last night and couldn't help but say, "Do you think Sister Du Lan can transfer me from the town to the county? I want to be a teacher in the county!"
"Be a teacher?"
Liang Jinbu was stunned. Liang Hongling then remembered that she had not had time to share the good news that she was going to be a teacher with her second brother. If she told him about becoming a teacher in a few words.
This really surprised Liang Jinbu. He didn't expect that his sister, who knew nothing, could become a teacher.
"The county is much better than the town, and there are more schools. It's definitely not that tiring. When the time comes, the houses will definitely be better than those in the town. It would be great if I could be a teacher in the county." Liang Hongling looked longingly.
Liang Jinbu really wanted to say that if you go to the county to be a teacher with your current attitude, you will probably be kicked out on the first day.
However, he had to admit that Liang Hongling was right, that is, the county was much better than the town.
He frowned and thought, "I'll ask about this when the time comes. I'll see if it works."
Liang Hongling started laughing when she heard this, "Thank you, second brother!"
Liang Jinbu looked at her, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and continued: "I'll ask for you, and you have to do something for me."
Liang Hongling was in a good mood at the moment and was very easy to talk to.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Liang Jinbu smiled, his eyes cold.
"Go help me..."
He whispered a few words into Liang Hongling's ear, and Liang Hongling looked hesitant after hearing it.
"Second brother, this isn't a good idea. After all, it's..."
She was about to say something, but Liang Jinbu looked at her coldly and said, "Just one word, are you going to do it or not?"
Liang Hongling looked at him, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that her second brother was a little chilling at this moment.
But when she thought that she could go to the county to be a teacher, this chill was finally suppressed by desire.
She gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll find a way!"
Only then did Liang Jinbu smile.
"That's right. No one will suspect you anyway. They'll just ask you to take the person over. If you're smart, nothing will happen to you."
After hearing what he said, Liang Hongling's anxiety was successfully reduced a lot.
There is a saying that goes, "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."
Besides, Wen Wan and her elder brother Liang Jinheng were not good people to begin with, so it wasn't too much for her to do this!
The two siblings spoke in low voices, and Miao Chunhong and Old Man Liang couldn't hear clearly. They only knew that Liang Jinbu and Liang Hongling seemed to have agreed to do something, and it seemed to be very secretive.
I wanted to ask a question, but Liang Hongling just walked out.
Miao Chunhong could only curiously ask Liang Jinbu: "Jinbu, what did you ask your sister to do?"
Liang Jinheng said expressionlessly: "Nothing, just some small things."
Miao Chunhong didn't care after hearing that.
Her son Liang Jinbu came back, and her mood improved. She began to think about what to eat. She complained to her son that they had no money to buy meat for the New Year's Eve dinner. Liang Jinbu then took out a Great Unity ticket and handed it to Miao Chunhong.
"Use it to buy meat."
Miao Chunhong's eyes widened in shock, then she asked in surprise, "Is this the salary your factory pays?"
Although Liang Jinbu had worked in the town for several months before, he spent all his salary on himself and never brought a penny back home, let alone spend money on Miao Chunhong and Old Man Liang.
Now when Miao Chunhong first received the money handed over by her son Liang Jinbu, she was almost crying with excitement.
My son has grown up and become successful!
Liang Jinbu didn't deny it, but said impatiently, "Use it to buy more meat. I'm almost tired of the pig feed at the factory."
"Hey, I'll go right away, right away!"
Having said that, Miao Chunhong hurried out and walked through the yard with the money in her hand.
Before anyone else asked her, she started showing off.
"Oh, nothing much. I just went to see if the brigade's meat was sold out. If not, I'll buy some more. After all, my family has made progress and they've given me so much money to buy meat! This child has grown up and has a promising future. I have to give him some good nutrition!"
He looked so proud that his tail was almost raised to the sky.
Upon hearing this, the other people in the yard could only smile awkwardly and said nothing.
Miao Chunhong didn't care. She felt that those people were just envious and jealous. After all, no one had a son as capable and promising as hers, Jinbu!
She snorted and continued to walk out proudly.
When she left, the young wives and aunts who were around Wen Wan and had a good relationship with her started to frown.
"Look at her like this. If you don't know her, you would think she has made a fortune. She can show off like this just by buying two kilograms of meat. Tsk tsk."
"It's because this is the first time Liang Jinbu has given her money. How can she not be excited?"
"This is the first time he's given money. Liang Jinbu has been working for almost half a year now, and he's never given money to his family before?"
Some people didn't believe it and couldn't help but ask Wen Wan.
