"Hmph, it's definitely not a good thing."
"That's not necessarily true."
Brother Chao, while you were away, the village made a fortune again with this simple business. It wasn't a one-off deal; they've opened up another avenue for making money.
They are well aware of the relationship between Jian Dan and your side, and Xiao Rui and Xiao An's bias is so obvious. Moreover, the whole thing started because the villagers were being unreasonable, and they are not without responsibility for not stopping them in time.
You tell me, with them being suppressed one by one, how can they possibly come to beg for mercy?
Don't worry, they don't have that kind of face. Right now, Jian Dan's interests are tied to those of the whole village and even the whole commune. They're afraid that if Jian Dan gets angry, he might just quit and cut off this path.
Don't worry, this time, the whole village won't let him try to smooth things over.
Cheng Chao raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl who seemed a bit out of it, with a hint of helplessness.
"What have you done now? Didn't you say you didn't care?"
Saying you don't care, but actually you can't stand it anymore?
Lin Dongfang smiled, "Isn't that right? She's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Seeing the villagers suffer, and then hearing Liu Weimin play the victim, well, she'll definitely soften her heart."
Lin Zhengde smiled broadly, his face beaming with satisfaction.
"This child is so kind-hearted,"
Jian Dan doesn't really like this kind of praise. Being soft-hearted and kind-hearted means being bullied, which is not her persona. She just wants to be a low-key person that others dare not mess with.
But what can she do about her elders' satisfaction? She can only listen!
Although I blushed a little and felt a little excited.
"By the way, brother, you've come back from outside. Are all the roads outside clear?"
Cheng Chao didn't think much of it.
"It's alright. The roads around the commune are basically open, but in some places, the wind is strong and the snow is trapped, making it impossible for vehicles to pass."
"That's fine. A few more trucks will come from the capital in ten days. We need to collect more mountain goods. As long as they can get out, that's good. We can't let the trucks be full the second time, that would be embarrassing."
Seeing the shock on the faces of the group, Lin Dongfang felt secretly pleased, thinking to himself, "There's a lot you don't know."
Cheng Chao also assumed that Jian Dan had used the connections left to her by the Su and Jian families, and couldn't help but frown.
"You're asking them to come all the way from the capital to collect mountain produce? Are you really trying to do charity?"
His expression practically screamed his thoughts; even the child couldn't stand it, and Cheng Rui rolled his eyes.
"Brother, do you really think my sister is stupid?"
Doing charity requires putting money into it. My sister is much smarter than you. This is clearly a win-win situation for both sides, and the villagers will be happy too.”
"Oh, even Cheng Rui noticed that?"
The young boy blushed, but still proudly raised his chin.
"Uncle Yang, you're underestimating me. I'm all grown up, not some stupid fool who doesn't know anything."
Cheng An covered his eyes. His brother's brain had improved, but not by much.
Cheng Chao slapped his forehead; his brain was completely blank after going out for a while.
"It's my fault, it's my fault, I misunderstood,"
You're overthinking it. His sister isn't the type to empty her savings to subsidize others, except for him, of course.
Once your mind returns to normal, your thinking will return to normal.
"Are the people you've hired reliable?"
"Don't worry,"
To put it simply, the relationship between Sheng Zhiyuan and Secretary Lin...
"My original thought was that since both sides were acting in the name of the collective and had common interests, being bound together like this would make it safer no matter where the investigation came from."
It was just an unexpected appearance of Sheng Zhiyuan, and Secretary Lin was clearly very close to and trusted Sheng Zhiyuan, and attached great importance to this matter.
It was quite a coincidence; it started snowing right after they left, which caused the delay.
"Once things settle down with the snow disaster, Secretary Lin will definitely inform all the villages about this, so I reckon the villages will be bustling with activity soon."
Old Yang followed them around and learned something about the current situation of the villagers.
"Of course. This heavy snow has not only caused many houses to collapse, but also destroyed a lot of their belongings. If their mountain produce is really alright, it will truly be a lifesaver."
Cheng Chao remained skeptical of Sheng Zhiyuan, who had seemingly come back from the dead, and his brow remained furrowed for a long time.
"This Sheng Zhiyuan, is he the younger brother of Uncle Jian that we talked about before? How much do you actually know about him?"
Just because of Jian Xin, you trust him so much?
In fact, Jian Dan didn't have any particular thoughts about Sheng Zhiyuan; at most, he was just a business partner.
"I can't say whether I believe it or not. I was quite surprised to run into him this time. He said he was looking for Xin Xin, but he didn't know my address before. He only came with me when he heard that I was here."
Besides, although there was the Xin Xin incident before, the situation was urgent that day, and I barely spoke ten words to him. It wasn't a matter of trust or distrust; we were practically strangers. On the contrary, because of Uncle Jian's connection, he seemed more reliable.
Cheng Chao breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he still had some sense of caution. But he quickly frowned again, this time directed at his superior, Lin Zhengde.
"Uncle Lin, is there still no news about Lao Jian?"
Lin Zhengde glared,
“He made it very clear when he left that he thought the Sheng family had no one left, which is why he worked so hard. Now that he has that child, he has a place to settle down and hope for the rest of his life.”
He paused, sighed, and continued,
"Moreover, he said that the Sheng family has already been targeted. Rather than being found out about one day and being hampered by others, he might as well use Jian Xin as an excuse to sneak into the shadows first, which would make the investigation easier."
