Chapter 109: Sold

~8 min read 1,496 words

Pei Huaiye was full of doting. "It will be ready soon."

He scooped the fried ribs out of the pot, picked a piece of golden-yellow ribs that was not too big or too small, blew it cool, and then fed it to Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue satisfiedly made a hmm sound like a little squirrel that hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"Auntie stole fried ribs!" Su Zhuangzhuang pointed at Su Qingyue with a little fat finger at the kitchen door.

Xiaohei and Xiaobai were anxious and barking, drooling all over the floor.

Su Qingyue threw the gnawed bones to them, carried the plate out, and said righteously. "I'm pregnant with a little baby now, so I have to eat more."

"I'm still young, I also want to eat more."

The aunt and nephew were like three-year-olds, gnawing on ribs and making trouble.

Life returned to calm. After the road was repaired, the bean products of Shuangshui Village were sent to the county town normally.

It's just that the tractor had been used for many years, plus this incident, it was almost scrapped.

Now going to the county town can only use bull carts to haul goods.

Xiang Jianming and Su Qingyue discussed and announced to everyone that four bull carts go to the county town every day, and everyone who drives the bull cart has fifty cents.

Everyone competed to sign up, and Xiang Jianming and the team leaders sorted the list according to work points.

"There must be one of our people among the four, and the other three are selected from these lists." Su Qingyue pondered.

"Yes, it's more reassuring to have our people."

There was still a bull cart in the village, which was actually Pei Huaiye's bull cart, which was used to take the children to and from school.

They were also all their own people driving back and forth every day, so everyone was relieved.

On this day, Pei Huaiye followed the bull cart and went to find Jiang Chao by the way.

"Do you know Lao Zhou in the neighboring county?"

Jiang Chao's expression froze. "Lao Zhou of Yang County?"

Pei Huaiye's expression was intriguing. "Hmm, Zhang Jun went to Lao Zhou to buy soybeans."

"Lao Zhou's price is ruthless, and he won't talk about it without forty or fifty cents. I don't know how he bought it?"

Zhang Jun took the money he saved to exchange for soybeans to contribute to the Qingshan Team? None of them believed it.

Jiang Chao lit a cigarette. "Lao Zhou's background is bitter and he is an orphan. He followed the previous boss to do the black market since he was a child. After the boss above was gone, he went up and started running all over the country. He does all kinds of business. I heard that he is alone and doesn't like to talk. Except for the high price, there is no other problem."

"The footprints of the landslide can be seen as leather shoes. The only man who can have a grudge against Qingyue and can afford leather shoes is Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun often wears leather shoes."

"But Yuan Guang and I ran several times, and he didn't have a pair of leather shoes at home. It must have been hidden after the incident."

"This person also has a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance. He goes out with at least three people and never goes alone."

These various behaviors made Pei Huaiye more certain that Zhang Jun threw stones from the mountain that day.

"Lao Zhou wants to sell soybeans, we can't intervene. Regarding business, you should believe in your wife. Your quality is hard and the supply is stable, and you will definitely defeat them."

"You said it yourself, that turtle grandson is guilty and on guard everywhere. If he is really beaten, you and your wife will definitely be talked about by others. Both villages think about who has a grudge against him?"

"You still have children studying in other people's village. If everyone knows, it will also affect your and your sister-in-law's reputation."

"Let's calm down, think about the good side. You and your sister-in-law are fine now, and we have plenty of opportunities in the future. After your village is evaluated as an advanced brigade and the school is built, we will clean him up slowly!"

Jiang Chao was several years older than Pei Huaiye and persuaded him gently. Pei Huaiye dispelled the idea of beating Zhang Jun.

He also knew that beating people couldn't solve the problem, but thinking of the dangerous situation that day, he felt a burst of lingering fear in his heart.

"Hmm, there are only two months left until the end of the year. I will accompany my wife well." Pei Huaiye let out a long sigh of relief. "After the bus is open, you bring Jiang Rong to the village to play."

"Easy to say."

Pei Huaiye asked how to make fried ribs and left with a passion.

"Brother Zhou, don't send it, Lingling is my cousin, I'll leave her to you." Zhang Jun drank a lot of wine and waved goodbye to Lao Zhou.

After Zhang Jun left, Lao Zhou's honest face surged with a layer of danger. A beauty with a plump figure was lying on the bed in the room.

Because she drank medicated wine, she fell into a coma.

Lao Zhou pinched her chin without pity and muttered. "Wang Lingling? Are you Zhang Jun's cousin?"

Wang Lingling woke up in the middle of the night.

She was in pain all over. When she opened her eyes, it was a strange room, and there was a strange man beside the bed.

Ah!

The sharp scream pierced the night sky.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Lao Zhou slapped her several times, and the crying in the room gradually became desperate and weak.

"Zhang Jun, where does my daughter work in Yang County?"

Zhang Jun returned to the Qingshan Team and was stopped by Wang Lingling's mother.

"In a supply and marketing cooperative, my friend there helped arrange it."

In order to buy soybeans, he and Captain Shi looked for one middleman after another. It was not easy to get on Lao Zhou's line.

The first time he met, he brought several thick rolls of large ten-yuan bills and couldn't talk about business. He knew that Lao Zhou had no wife, plus Wang Lingling kept pestering him to get married, otherwise she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to fight Jiang Meng.

Zhang Jun couldn't bear it, drugged her, sent her to Lao Zhou, and made arrangements in Yang County, only then did he talk about the soybean price, thirty cents per jin, no coupons, only supply to him.

"Why is there no letter? This girl is really, not worrying at all." Xie Qiulan nagged.

"Auntie, she just went to learn a lot of things. This is something she asked me to bring you."

Zhang Jun handed a bag of fruit candies and a bag of pastries to her, and Xie Qiulan's eyes turned red instantly.

"I said don't go, but she insisted on going to Yang County to find a job, so far away from home, really."

Xie Qiulan thanked Zhang Jun and walked home.

She didn't know that this devil had sold her daughter to Lao Zhou.

On that day, Zhang Jun pulled Wang Lingling and asked, "Are you willing to elope with me? If you are willing, tell your mother that there is a good job in Yang County and you want to try it."

Wang Lingling thought she had waited for the true love she had been thinking about, but didn't expect to wait for a hellish encounter.

"Soybeans are bought, but it's not easy to return to the village, the road is not repaired."

"We buy bull carts, use bull carts to haul!"

Zhang Jun made a final decision. "The tractor is estimated to be scrapped, and we will all have to use bull carts in the future."

Zhang Huarui covered his head with annoyance. "I still don't understand, I clearly checked that the tractor was fine everywhere, why could it be driven directly into the river?"

"And why did the mountain body happen to landslide when it was my turn to pass?"

Captain Shi looked at Zhang Jun and didn't speak. Zhang Jun's eyes flashed, hiding something.

"What's not to understand, it's just bad luck. Now the bad luck has passed, and good things are waiting for us in the future!"

"Don't take things outside to heart, work hard, let's make vegetable tofu well, the advanced brigade at the end of the year depends on these two months!"

Because Zhang Huarui drove the tractor into the river, he was fined half a year's wages by the Shuangqiao Commune.

He also quarreled with his wife several times. For the sake of life, he had to cheer up. ===== CHAPTER 110 =====
