Liu Cuilan didn’t even respond to Qu Xiaoli, angrily left without getting the information she wanted.

Back home, she lay on the kang sulking. For so many years, their relationship had been lukewarm, but Qu Xiaoli had never spoken like this before.

This was because Chaoyang had left, and she felt unbalanced.

But what does it have to do with them? Who doesn’t wish for good things for themselves? Given this opportunity, how could they let it slip away?

Why hasn’t Li Yunqiang come back yet? It’s only by him stepping in that they can find a job for her maternal nephew.

After Liu Cuilan left, Qu Xiaoli chuckled. People are like this, thinking the world is foolish, only she is clever.

She knew that this sister-in-law had been inquiring about the full-time job quota, and even if their own family didn’t use it, they wouldn’t sell it to her.

Dreaming of good things all day long. For so many years, she’s always gained benefits, but it must be you acknowledging her gain. Now, there’s no need to save face for her.

They used to consider that the Old Fourth and them were brothers, but ever since Xiang Dong went to the capital, it became clear the Old Fourth only cared about his family and children, nephews didn’t count.

This is also why the head of the house is disappointed in his fourth brother.

Even though Chaoyang didn’t want to go, the things they arranged left people disheartened.

Qu Xiaoli felt that her nephews could never be better than her own sons to them, but wouldn’t stoop to what the couple did. Take the three children from the elder brother’s family, they have been in the village for so long, yet they’ve never eaten a meal at the fourth uncle’s house.

It’s not about the food, but a matter of heart.

The Old Fourth was still dissatisfied with the elder brother giving a bicycle to their family.

He’s really not the same person he was before he got married.

Li Yungui was just in the inner room, and he heard clearly the conversation between the two sister-in-laws.

He didn’t feel too comfortable either. But for the second son’s future, there is his master’s plan, so they don’t need to worry at all.

He also knew that their ideas sometimes delayed the children, so he simply let go and didn’t interfere.

But the matter of the fourth brother going to see Xiao Wei alone still left a knot in his heart.

Qu Xiaoli entered the room and also got on the kang, "What does this Cuilan mean?"

"Don’t you know? She’s been inquiring about the full-time job quota, I thought it was for finding a job for her maternal family."

"Xiao Cui told me, Liu Cuilan wants to pay for the quota. Just offering a hundred bucks.

If it were two years ago, someone might really sell for a hundred bucks, but now you can earn over forty each month, who cares about that hundred bucks?"

Li Yunqiang didn’t say anything at this point, but was thinking about the meeting the next day, village’s quota should absolutely not flow to the outside.

He wasn’t worried about his wife here, she barely interacted with her family, even during the years of famine, she didn’t go back once.

"Dear, do you think Chaoyang has reached yet?"

"Not yet, it won’t be until the day after tomorrow at least."

"Now that everyone from the village has returned, only Chaoyang stayed there, I’m worried about him."

"Why worry unnecessarily? Xiao Wei and Mr. Han have such a good relationship, won’t they take care of Chaoyang?

I think Xiao Wei letting Chaoyang go there this time is a good thing. Don’t overthink it."

"Is it really like that?"

"Just look at Old Yang, he often gives pointers to Chaoyang, isn’t it all for Xiao Wei’s sake?

Also, even if I haven’t read Xiang Dong’s letters, I kind of know, Xiang Dong must have complained to the Old Fourth, I’ve heard Chaoyang say, they’re not allowed to go out.

Looking at Chaoyang being able to go places from home, the Old Fourth couple would certainly overthink."

"Hmph, if Chaoyang succeeds in the future, the Old Fourth couple might again feel unbalanced."

"Didn’t you just confront her?"

"How can I let them act all submissive and pleasant when the time comes?"

"Alright, even if Chaoyang gets better in the future, it’s nothing they can say out."

Li Yungui quickly changed the subject, "With Xiao Wei not in the village, I’m not at ease. The whole family left for more than forty days before returning."

"By the way, aren’t you worried Teacher Jiang will leave with all that money?"

"Would she care for such a small amount? I’ve also seen that if they wanted, they could earn any amount they wish.

Besides, their character is absolutely trustworthy."

"But don’t they have to repay the bank? If Xiao Jiang didn’t leave money, how will you repay it?"

"The money Guodong brought back is enough, otherwise having so much money in hand, I wouldn’t feel at ease."

"True, these two trucks of medicine are worth quite a bit." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Xiao Jiang told me to keep the money, but I refused. Where could we safely hide the money?"

Qu Xiaoli thought about it and realized it made sense. If their own family really had a lot of money, they probably wouldn’t sleep well.

The days in Li Family Village are going as usual, but everyone is particularly motivated, knowing the factory director will come in a few days, everyone is excited.

However, there are still some families in disputes, even though they had divided the households, their old home has unmarried young people who are old enough to work, but there’s only one slot, whoever is chosen, others will have opinions.

Thus, they fixated on the five slots held by Li Yungui.

So that day, Li Yungui entertained over ten people, all wanting that slot.

Li Yungui had already held a meeting, and Li Cunshan and several captains agreed that the slot must definitely not flow to the outside village.

This outcome was also notified to everyone, hence the villagers were eyeing this slot.

In the afternoon, Li Yungui and Li Cunshan strolled through the fields.

"Alright, stop worrying, each slot is a hundred and fifty bucks, whoever wants it can get it, and the money directly into the public account."

"A hundred fifty is too little. Make it two hundred."

"Two hundred works too, these five slots can be sold for a thousand bucks, everyone can get money."

"Even my family’s slot is sold."

"True, since Chaoyang isn’t home, selling it is fine."

"These corn fields are managed by the educated youths, this can’t be right. Tomorrow, let the team captain see them, find someone to take them to other fields to see.

The work given to them isn’t much, how could they manage it this way?"

Li Cunshan was quite angry too, having dealt with farming all his life, he could tell at a glance if they’d fooled around.

"Let’s go and visit the educated youths’ place, this isn’t right."

Li Yungui followed the angry Li Cunshan, the two arrived at their place, they were cooking.

Today it was Xu Chunshan and his wife’s turn. Dinner was steamed buns with a pot of corn grits porridge.

Seeing the captain enter with a bad look on his face, everyone was on edge, honestly, they knew the work these past few days hadn’t been up to par.

Li Cunshan had intentionally placed them together, thinking it wouldn’t affect each other much, he didn’t expect they’d handle it like that? It’s truly disappointing.

Li Cunshan had also inquired about educated youths from other villages, there were both good and bad ones, but he was quite confident in these seven people. Now, wasn’t this a slap in the face?
