Wang Zhengguo was prepared for this. He knew his actions would put Wang Zhengjun in a difficult position.
If he lent, there was the possibility of the borrower never repaying, which could attract more people with similar intentions.
If he did not lend, or had no grain to lend, it would absolutely offend people. There were plenty of narrow-minded people, and he could easily predict the repercussions. To maintain any form of influence would be as unattainable as a daytime dream.
Perhaps the similarity of their vindictive natures proved that they were indeed blood brothers.
Despite being siblings, Wang Zhengguo held the safety of his family and the people of Wanglou Brigade above Wang Zhengjun. He could not let Wang Zhengjun wreak havoc over the brigade, nor did he want to let him have his way.
By the time Wang Zhengguo had considered this, he had already arrived near the post office with his mule cart. He didn’t see Lu Jiang or Feng Qingxue come out after waiting for a while. He wondered if they had gone shopping after mailing their letters. Then he saw the postman He Hai, who frequently delivered letters to Wanglou Brigade, coming out pushing his bicycle loaded with packages and parcels.
"Comrade He Hai!" Wang Zhengguo called out to him.
He Hai turned around and smiled when he saw him, "Oh, Comrade Leader Wang, what brings you here?"
"I wanted to ask you that. Aren’t you the postman for our county? So, what are you doing here in town?" Wang Zhengguo looked at his bicycle packed with things, "Or have you been promoted and transferred to the city?"
"No, nothing like that! I sorted out the letters and parcels to be mailed out early this morning and brought them here for dispatch to other places. I also brought back parcels for our county to save the city postmen a trip," He Hai explained before asking him, "So, did you come here to mail letters? It would be much more convenient to do that in the county town."
Wang Zhengguo hurriedly replied, "I had something to do, and my niece and her husband followed me to town to mail some things. We didn’t stop in the county. Did you see them inside? You know my niece, Qingxue."
They would not leave without saying anything to him if they had planned to leave for shopping after mailing their letters.
As expected, He Hai’s response was, "Yes, I saw them. They are inside with a man in an old military uniform, managing their business."
"That must be my niece and her husband."
After He Hai had left, Wang Zhengguo waited patiently on his mule cart. After a short time, he saw Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue coming out together. He quickly waved at them, "Over here, this way!"
Hearing his call, Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang hastened over.
"Uncle, have you been waiting for a long time?" Lu Jiang began with an apology.
It was late December and the post office was busy with people sending and receiving parcels. Trudging through the long queue took a significant amount of time. Also, they had to spend some time checking the letters enclosed with the food they were sending to three comrades.
"I just arrived," Wang Zhengguo didn’t admit that he had been waiting for a while, inviting them into the carriage, "Are you going to the store?"
Lu Jiang must definitely have money this time, hence the question.
Feng Qingxue smiled, "We were planning to see what we can buy. The festival is coming soon and we need provisions."
Since Zhang Yuejin worked in the county town, he was familiar with the staff at the grocery store. Since neither Feng Qingxue nor Lu Jiang had shopped there before and they were worried that they wouldn’t be able to account for the quantity of things when they got home, they planned to buy some things in the city and bring them back home. When they brought the items home, they would mix in some supplies from their personal storage. Apart from the two of them, nobody would suspect anything.
