Chapter 45: A Mysterious Group of People

  "Lao Xia, did you see something wrong?!" Liang Sanping furrowed his brow and said: "Just now, Teacher Liu also told me to pay attention to this Ye Jianwen, the teacher wouldn't let me notice him for no reason..."

  Liang Sanping said this, Xia Zhendong was stunned. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while before saying: "Now that you mention it, Ye Jianwen is indeed quite strange. If he were just a spoiled young master, there's no reason for him to have the energy to go sightseeing."

  "That group of people mostly just hang out with a title, and they must be messing around in Yangcheng. After all, Yangcheng is much more prosperous than here, and the imperial capital can't compare to that many scenic spots. But Ye Jianwen actually came to our desolate mountain wilderness to wander around..."

  Xia Zhendong didn't finish speaking, but the implication was clear: this is not quite normal! Yes, now Guangzhou (the city of sheep) due to its geographical location and the country's non-openness, is more prosperous than the imperial capital.

  Even if you're from the capital city, coming to Guangzhou once is considered a very fashionable thing. If you can speak with a Cantonese accent, others will look at you with more respect.

  If Ye Jianwen was just a spoiled son, he would not have left the prosperous Guangzhou to come to this small county town of Qiongtai.

  Even if it's just for the sake of appearances, it would be fine to go as far as Qiongzhou Port. Anyway, no one will say anything about him, everyone knows he's here to put on a show. The report when he returns will definitely be written beautifully.

  "No matter what they're thinking, I'll be keeping an eye on them starting tomorrow." Liang Sanping now felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, and the arrival of the Dajin people was not a simple matter.

  Perhaps Ye Jianwen and that Liao Bin are not simple either. Professor Liu may have known something, but it's not good to remind himself, he can only hint at himself to pay attention.

  Taking a deep breath, Liang Sanping said calmly: "Either we go up to the next floor or move bricks downstairs! What are they afraid of? We've done it all. I'd like to see what they're really planning."

  He drove the convoy to Lucheng, and Liang Sanping was really too tired. After returning to his brother's home, he hastily had a meal with his family and then returned to the construction site.

  He didn't notice, however, that his older brother's gaze at him was somewhat off.

  "Ah, Dà Píng... you said our family's third child is so popular now, why give him to Lao Li's daughter..." After dinner, with a smile, they sent Liang Da Ping out of the house.

  Sister Qing said to her husband with a tone of complaint: "Two days ago, Zhao Kezhang from the field came to ask me if Sanping had a partner. He said he had a niece..."

  "Hmph! Don't I know what these people are thinking?! " Liang Daping sneered, "Now that Old Three has risen to power, they all want to come and bask in his glory. Why didn't they notice me, a small worker, back then?!"

  Liang Daping said, getting up. Ah Qing saw this and quickly poured a cup of tea for her husband, Liang Daping then sighed with the teacup in hand.

  "A Qing, sometimes people can't be too short-sighted. Those people who come over now will also leave later. When finding a wife and in-laws, you have to find reliable ones."

  After a pause, Liang Daping said: "Now that Father is not on the island of Qiong, and Eldest Brother is here. As the eldest brother, I have to take care of him a bit. He has already become a capable person, but this matter of marrying a wife cannot be taken lightly!"

  "I know the eldest daughter of Old Li's family, and although they are not a wealthy or aristocratic family, have you ever seen them borrow even a single cent from us comrades all these years?"

  Li Da Ping said that, Ah Qing was stunned. To say, Old Li's family has four daughters and a young son. They must have had a very difficult time, and several children still have to go to school.

  This is just the tuition, and it's a huge expense. Ah Qing knows that with four children of her own at home, raising them and sending them all to school is extremely difficult.

  Even the Liang Daping family has times when they are short of money and have to borrow from others. But the old Li family, with five children, also has to support their mother-in-law, and they never borrow money from their comrades.

  At this point, Ah Qing thought it was impossible for her to do so.

  "I've known Old Li for many years, and I think we understand each other thoroughly. He can support his mother-in-law and put five children through school without ever borrowing a single penny from anyone. How many people in the entire Jianghai Farm can do that?!"

  Li Da-ping lit a cigarette his younger brother had brought back and said with narrowed eyes, "When looking for a daughter-in-law, one must find someone who can manage the household. Those domestic skills are all empty words. A suitable daughter-in-law is what truly matters."

  "Old Li's eldest daughter, I've seen her. She's sensible and polite, and she even has a high school education. Besides, Old Li is also an old worker, that's enough. What's the point of asking for so much?"

  Liang Daping said, tapping the ash into a vase: "If Old Three marries the niece of a department head, will he be able to tame her in the future?! People say that when the wife's family is powerful, they bully their husbands."

  "I know Lao San's temper, it's not better than mine. If you give him a hard time, he'll explode like a firecracker! How can the two of them live together?!"

  A Qing fell silent, lowered his head and wiped the table, saying: "This... this is a big deal at home, you make the decision..."

  Liang Daping nodded in agreement. Ah Qing, this old lady is good in every way. It's just that sometimes she can't make up her mind, and when others try to advise her, she becomes muddle-headed.

  So, sometimes there are some bad ideas. Liang Daping sighed, fortunately, this woman's household management is still not bad. At least the expenses at home and so on, Liang Daping has never worried about them basically.

  People always have some small flaws. As long as it doesn't touch the foundation, don't delve too deeply into it. Living life, everyone is living their own lives, not to make things unpleasant for themselves and their wives.

  Liang Sanping returned to the construction site without knowing that his older brother had found Xia Zhendong that night and mentioned this matter. Xia Zhendong also thought it was no big deal, a high school graduate girl coming to work in the vegetable garden.

  This is a good thing, isn't it? Having one more helper isn't bad at all! At this time of the year, finding someone with higher education to help out isn't an easy task.

  While graduating from high school means that at least the English level is still okay. At that time, learning some professional vocabulary can help oneself translate some documents, which is enough.

  "Are you our guide today?! You're quite sturdy, I must say..." Liang Sanping felt uneasy the moment he laid eyes on Ye Jianwen.

  No choice, this person really looks quite uncomfortable. Greasy face and powdered nose, and speaking seems to have no rules. A playful and arrogant look, makes people think of all kinds of second-generation rich kids.

  "I'm your guide today, and where we're going is Geng Cai." Liang Sanping nodded slightly, his face expressionless: "That place doesn't count as part of our farm's land, it belongs to the local area."

  "Moreover, the road is quite difficult to walk, I estimate we will be wandering in the mountains for about three days. Going in and out, it takes at least one day each way. Plus the time for inspection, it's at least three days."

  Ye Jianwen seemed indifferent to what Liang Sanping said, but he seemed more concerned about Liang Sanping as a person. His intuition told him that Liang Sanping seemed to know him.

  "Then let's set off now, since we're going so far." Ye Jianwen still had that smiling expression, saying to Liang Sanping: "Let's go, I've heard the water there is good. I also want to try and get some tea bubbles..."

  Liang Sanping nodded and directly led them to set off. From the eleventh team to Nangou, they still need to take a car for a while. Passing by the vegetable garden, turn to the most mountainous place of Jianghai Farm.

  After crossing several mountains with almost no roads, we finally arrived at Nangqian.

  At this time, in the imperial capital, Gao Donglei was holding a telegram from Qiong Island and sneered: "So these devils are playing this trick, if it's just like this, then there's nothing to be surprised about..."

  But then he saw that the old man sitting in front of Gao Donglei said, "This is the common view of two children, I guess Da Jin Yun's idea is this..."

  "We've pieced together Otsu Yū's actions, and the conclusion is similar to what these two children have said. It seems that Otsu Yū is likely the one who planned this." After a pause, the old man said: "Now we need to consider the pros and cons of his actions for us..."
