"I want to ask if it is possible to help my brother return to the city?" Jiang Shiyue asked humbly.
The squadron leader's eyelids twitched, and his hand paused, and the rebounding drawer pinched his hand.
The squadron leader screamed in pain, jumped up from his chair in an instant, and stared at Jiang Shiyue with tears in his eyes.
I didn't expect that this girl was so fair and pretty, but she had such a big appetite. She wanted to go back to the city with just three dollars?
The squadron leader gritted his teeth and said, "It can't be done!"
Jiang Shiyue blinked innocently, "Captain, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to do anything. I just want to ask if I can help my brother return to the city if I have the money."
Squadron Leader: “…”
Now not only my hands hurt, but my face hurts too.
You better explain it clearly!
After a pause, the squadron leader sat back at the table, covering his index finger, and asked tentatively, "How much money can you give?"
Jiang Shiyue shook her head, looking embarrassed. "I don't have much cash on hand. I just feel bad for my brother. I thought I'd come over to ask if there's any way. If there is, how much should we prepare when we go back?"
Disappointment flashed across the squadron leader's eyes again. "Then I advise you to waste your energy! We say we want to build a farm here, but judging by our current progress, we can't even build a forestry farm, let alone a farm. Last year, there was a surge of people returning to the city. Those with connections used their connections, and those with money used their money."
The squadron leader paused, a flicker of annoyance in his eyes. "How should I put it? Sometimes opportunities are very important. You know what a sugar-coated bullet means, right?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded.
"When some people first started taking this path, powerful leaders, perhaps forced to make ends meet or for some other undisclosed reason, opened the loophole. Others, seeing the promise, followed suit. But there were only so many places to return to the city. If you offered 100, I'd offer 200, if you offered 300, I'd offer 500. Gradually, not only did the loophole grow, but so did the appetites of the relevant department leaders. From one person, it became a whole chain of people... In short, now without 3,000 to 5,000 yuan, don't even think about it."
The squadron leader sighed deeply and regretted why he did not leave in time last year.
His position was barely enough to get him to work in the fields, with no benefits at all, no hope of promotion, and no hope of returning home.
"Three to five thousand!" Jiang Shiyue said with a "tsk", "It's a bit much."
Farmers can’t save this amount even if they don’t eat or drink for several years.
"A lot?" The squadron leader raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "I mean, don't even think about it if you don't have three to five thousand yuan. From our team leader up to everyone who signed, it's going to cost that much!"
He raised his index finger and shook it at Jiang Shiyue.
"Ten thousand!" Jiang Shiyue asked.
The squadron leader nodded. "Yes! We don't even know if there's a single person in the entire city who earns ten thousand yuan. So, most of the people who are still here have given up on returning to the city. Ten thousand yuan! Anyone who could come up with that kind of money wouldn't have ended up on this farm... this forest farm."
Jiang Shiyue smiled and changed the subject, "Thank you, Captain. I'll think of a way to deal with the money issue. I have another question. I heard that my brother could have returned to the city last year, but he gave the opportunity to my sister-in-law?"
The squadron leader sneered, "Where did you get your sister-in-law? Oh, you mean Xiang Xuejiao? Yes, she was your brother's girlfriend for a few years. But that girl is not a pushover, she's full of tricks, and she fooled your brother. Just because she slept with your brother, he naively thought that girl would really spend her life with him, so he gave up his spot. But Xiang Xuejiao hasn't contacted your brother since she returned to the city. I heard that she's even talking about marriage. Of course, not to your brother."
"The gossip reached your brother's ears, and he even got into a fight and broke three of the man's ribs. He's still lying on the kang! It's a good thing the man didn't sue him. But he was listless for days, and only after you guys showed up did he perk up."
***
Jiang Shiyue put the food on the table in time.
Jiang Sinian pushed the door open and came in, sniffing, "What a nice smell!" He then took a closer look at the table and was surprised, "Yueyue, where did all this come from?"
Jiang Shiyue lied calmly, "Master Lu said that he saw that I was thinking of his sister, so he gave it to me out of kindness."
Jiang Sinian's face suddenly darkened, "That old pervert! Yueyue, listen to me, we won't eat this, send it back!"
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
I didn't expect Jiang Sinian to be so straightforward, it was a bit funny.
Not only is he straightforward but he's also stubborn, and no amount of persuasion will change him.
Jiang Shiyue had no choice but to tell the truth, "Brother, I bought it from him. He didn't do anything to me, so you can eat it without worry."
"Where did you get so much money?" Jiang Sinian didn't believe it because he had a preconceived notion.
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
She took out her wallet and handed it to Jiang Sinian.
Jiang Sinian opened it and saw a brand new stack of big unity, which he estimated to be around 5,000 yuan. He gasped and his eyes widened, "How do you have so much money?"
"I made this money from a small business. Don't worry, it's absolutely legal and compliant, otherwise Chen Shanhe wouldn't agree, right?"
Jiang Sinian thought about Chen Shanhe's occupation and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He returned the wallet to Jiang Shiyue and asked, "Where are Shanhe and the others?"
"He went back to the city to buy bedding. He said he would be back in the evening. There's no need to wait for them, let's eat first."
Jiang Sinian sat down, and suddenly remembered something. He filled a large bowl with spareribs, explaining to Jiang Shiyue as he filled it. "A while ago, I got drunk and got into a fight with my coworker. I accidentally broke his ribs. I guess these spareribs were approved by the higher-ups to help him build up his body. Um... I'll bring the bowl to him."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
It turns out that the ribs went around and ended up back in the victim's mouth.
She nodded to Jiang Sinian who was waiting for her opinion, "Okay!"
Jiang Sinian said that his co-worker was called Wang Dazhi, and he was not a bad person. On the contrary, he had always been very caring towards him.
Seeing that Jiang Sinian was drowsy and slacking off at work, and was about to be punished by starvation, Wang Dazhi used his wages to ask Master Lu to buy some wine, and went to find Jiang Sinian to drink and cheer him up.
However, it is often painful when the abscess is popped.
Jiang Sinian was drunk and beat Wang Dazhi.
"For that girl named Xiang Xuejiao?" Jiang Shiyue pointed out.
Jiang Sinian was stunned, "How did you know?"
"Do you have any secrets here?"
Jiang Sinian smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yes! He was the laughing stock of the entire forest farm.
"Brother, I'm here to take you back to the city."
Jiang Sinian waved his hand and shook his head, "Right now, we don't have any quotas for returning to the city. If there are any, they are all in the hands of the captain. It's not easy for you to earn some money, don't waste it."
"Leave the return to the city to me. I only ask if you want to go back to the city?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head: "I don't think so. I feel relieved knowing that you are doing well and your parents are okay."
As the brother and sister were talking, Chen Shanhe and Mike came back.
Still drove back.
The forest farm is like a fenced-off paradise. It is difficult to see new things, so everyone gathers around it.
Jiang Shiyue heard the noise and pushed the door open with Jiang Sinian.
I saw Chen Shanhe coming back in a pickup truck with a lot of stuff in the back bed.
