Chapter 64 Everyone Eats Meat

  "What are you afraid of, the people above? There's meat for everyone to eat. You haven't even gotten any meat yet, and you're already worried that others will be jealous, what's the point of eating then? Forget it, now the situation is complicated, Secretary Li's one sentence has blocked the collective land from being transferred to state ownership, letting the village develop on its own, actually it's giving Mayor Chen a hard time, who knows what kind of shape the new district construction will take. Li De shook his head, "Forget it, even if I tell you, you won't understand, in short, having the village director in your hands is absolutely no bad thing!"

  Li De's nose is very keen, yesterday he smelled out some flavors, this is not a matter of decentralization of power, but a struggle between powers. Although the secretary does not manage this specific work, in the new district three major divisions, one piece was torn off, making Mayor Chen's ideas impossible to implement, which is enough. As for how this village develops, it is actually unimportant.

  But for him, it's a completely different story. If the collectively owned land really couldn't be converted into state-owned land, then he wouldn't be able to make a huge profit. Thinking of this, he cursed Zhao Guangming loudly...

  "Think carefully about the plan, I'll also think of a way to help you. Although our connections are not bad, but Old Zhang's family is being watched by many people, just like this director now is like a Tang Monk, with various demons making efforts in secret. Hmph! " Li De looked at his nephew with disappointment, "Don't go out for the New Year, stay here."

  "I want revenge." Suddenly came this sentence, Zhao Tiejun's heart was still blocked, thinking of his competitor, he felt anxious. White Brother didn't give him an answer either. Now it's really unclear what the situation is, whether the person they invited can break that bastard's leg or not.

  Just after finishing speaking, the city's breaking news reported a piece of information: The fugitive with the alias "Lone Wolf" who was on the A-level wanted list by the Ministry of Public Security was caught in the southern district of our city this morning. This man has committed dozens of crimes in the eastern four provinces and across the country...

  Lone Wolf?

  Isn't this the killer mentioned by Bai Ge?

  A cold sweat immediately broke out.

  My grass, did I mess up?

  There were also two more people who had been sweating together with Jin Zun - Bai Haijun and Mei Jun.

  Standing in front of Zhou Shunzhang, who had just returned from Korea, Bai Haijun was almost unable to stand upright, constantly rubbing his ears and begging for mercy with a nose full of snot and tears.

  Mei Jun's back was completely soaked.

  Zhou Shunzhang's white hair was combed neatly, and he stared coldly at the two people under his feet.

  "This will not set a precedent. If you two have any more grievances against that noble, you can go find another place to settle it yourselves; I'll send people to take care of your families."

  Jin Mingzhe asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is it about meeting that expert?"

  "Make an appointment? Forget it, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, we can't have any unpleasantness during this festive period. Let's talk about it after the New Year. I really didn't expect that a master like you would also be so exceptionally skilled in gambling tricks, truly not a person of this world."

  Bai Haijun regretted not smashing his own head with a brick, that Zhao Tiejun is really nothing! Zhao Zhiqiang, who are you, didn't even ask around, my god, even the so-called Tiger of East Sea, Zhou Dalao, was so cautious, what kind of master did you offend?

  He didn't know that in Zhou Shunzhang's eyes, Zhao Zhiqiang and Yi Fang were no different from ordinary Jianghu masters, but in fact, they weren't that great, they just had something to ask for.

  ……

  Zhao Zhiqiang had already returned home and was sitting across from his father, Zhao Jincái.

  "What nonsense!" Zhao Jinfai was on his way home when he heard that the second child said that Lao Da wanted to compete for village chief, and he was so angry that he couldn't help but rush in, and before he could figure out how the children made so much money, they changed houses like magic, more capable than him, an old father. He started interrogating his son, "You little brat, what village chief, what village chief? Get out of it immediately, don't do that kind of thing!"

  The mud on his body had not been shaken off yet, and a layer of dust immediately fell onto the clean ground.

  Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to laugh, what's wrong with Dad?

  "Dad, give me a reason, why can't I be the village officer?"

  "Hum, those in power are all worthless! I'd rather die poor and starving than become one of these corrupt officials. And another thing, I'm asking you, what's going on with this house and the money?"

  Zhao Jinfai is furious!

  "Yā just signed a one-year contract and came back from the troops, what's your ability to earn so much money, serving as an advisor for others? Don't deceive me! Your ass is lifted, I know what kind of shit you're pulling!"

  Hua Xue Mei really couldn't listen anymore.

  In the past, Zhao Jinfai almost never took care of these two sons, only taking care of making money outside all year round. Eating, drinking, living, and doing homework were all taken care of by her. Today, as soon as her husband came in, he started scolding loudly, which was really unprecedented!

  "What are you doing, his dad? If it's a good thing, why can't you say so? What's wrong with you? Daqiang came back from the army and wants to compete for village director, this is a great thing! Are you going to let him learn from you and go work on a construction site? And what qualifications do you have to question your son's ability to earn so much money? From childhood to adulthood, eating, sleeping, studying, joining the army, except for finding someone to send him into the army, what else did you do? As soon as he came in, you started scolding, I don't know what kind of wind you're blowing!"

  The two sons hurried over to pound and fetch water.

  Zhao Jincai's numb face was still gray and dull, unable to see its original color. When he saw his wife coughing, he only slightly moved, but didn't budge.

  He has been working hard for many years and is exhausted. He worked for two years, but except for a small portion of living expenses, he still hasn't received over 600,000 yuan in wages that have accumulated over the past two years. This matter has been weighing on him all along, and it's because the government department in charge has refused to sign off on the completion certificate due to alleged subpar work quality. He has harbored resentment towards officials for over a decade, and upon hearing that his son wants to become an official, he immediately flew into a rage.

  Plus, he didn't believe that his eldest son could make 500,000 yuan and a house in less than five days. If so, then his own hard work for over a decade would be useless, wouldn't it?

  Seeing the new house, he felt a strong sense of defeat, which made him unable to believe it and also lost control of his emotions. All along, he had always looked down on his eldest son who was not competitive.

  Send him to join the army, and he went all the way to the western border. At that time, there was also a kind of cruel feeling in my heart that the farther I sent him, the better, just wanting to let the hardships of the vast desert wilderness grind this kid...

  "What kind of consultant are you?"

  "Financial advisor." Zhao Zhiqiang didn't argue with his father either, answering whatever was asked of him. If it were three years ago, he might have screwed up his face and turned around to leave.

  "What's going on with those five hundred thousand?" Zhao Jincai asked with a bitter face and furrowed brow.

  “……”

  Zhao Zhiqiang said it again, and Zhao Zhigang quietly added on the side, this matter is over.

  Zhao Jincai let out a "hmm" and didn't say anything else. He went into the bathroom, took off his clothes, and showered...

  Hua Xue Mei looked at the bathroom door and shook her head.

  Zhao Zhigang's face was filled with terror.

  Zhao Zhiqiang patted his brother's shoulder and said softly, "Everything will be okay."

  But in his heart, he sighed, Dad is still the same, outside suffered grievances back home to find wife and children to vent - unchanged.

  He didn't need to use his intuition to know that Dad had suffered a great deal of grievance outside, which is why he was like this. From childhood to adulthood, he has been through this kind of experience all the time and is already extremely familiar with it.
