Chapter 634: The bottom line is meant to be broken

Liu Guoan glanced at them.

Hmm, their skins didn’t appear especially thick, so how could they say such brazen things?

As a public servant, he couldn’t be overtly sarcastic and merely said with a neutral tone, "Sorry, I can’t help you with your request."

"How can you not help?" the woman didn’t believe it.

In the countryside, everyone is afraid of the police. All it takes is one word from these officers, and people obey like dogs.

Liu Guoan chuckled ambiguously.

A young officer called out to him, "Captain, there’s something here that needs your attention..."

"Excuse me." Liu Guoan nodded and left.

No one paid any more attention to the Zhong family couple and Qian Dilai.

The three of them stood firm for a while before leaving.

As soon as they left, Liu Guoan and a few officers came out.

"Hmph, they really dare to dream. Even the educated youths from their own brigade can’t get into the Shuangshan Brigade Sauce Factory, let alone people from other brigades. This is pure fantasy," the young officer said with a sneer.

Liu Guoan said, "Don’t underestimate the tenacity of humans! Sometimes, in order to achieve a certain goal, face doesn’t mean anything."

The young officers, thinking of the bizarre cases they’ve encountered, no longer found it odd.

Boundaries are made to be broken.

Upon leaving the Police Station, the Zhong couple’s wife disapprovingly turned around and spat.

"What ’serving the people’ – Bah! They’re just fobbing us off with platitudes."

Zhong Chang’s father was also angry, but he kept silent.

He snorted coldly.

"It’s a small place. What great things can you expect from them? They can’t even tell good from bad."

Slightly frowning with displeasure, "Let’s not place our hopes on them anymore. Do you have any better ideas?"

Zhong Chang’s mother was at a loss and turned to Qian Dilai reflexively.

Qian Dilai: "..."

Why is she asking me? I wouldn’t dare provoke the people from Shuangshan Brigade.

If it weren’t for the benefit she could gain from the couple’s troubles, she would never have gotten involved.

Who knew... the combat power of the Shuangshan Brigade folks was as strong as ever.

Just one back-and-forth left them completely defenseless.

Qian Dilai ridiculed them in her heart without responding immediately; Zhong Chang’s father also turned to look at her.

"Do you, the educated youth Qian, have any ideas?"

"Life in the countryside isn’t easy, right? If you could get into the Sauce Factory, it would be completely different, wouldn’t it?" he coaxed with insinuating tones.

Qian Dilai was shamefully tempted, but what good was that?

She still wanted to move back to the city. Could she go back?

Thinking about the advantages she could get from the Zhong family, Qian Dilai cooperated, "...Yeah, Uncle Zhong makes sense."

First agreeing, she looked troubled and whispered, "But I can’t do anything either."

Zhong Chang’s father, seeing Qian Dilai’s reticence, felt a surge of contempt.

Fool!

Mentally cursing, his face showed pain.

"Changchang is gone. Her mother and I won’t come to this place again..."

"Our hearts are heavy; we can’t even sleep at night."

"...Shuangshan Brigade won’t take responsibility, and reporting it did nothing, so we can only accept it..."

His eyes reddened, portraying the pain of a father who’d lost his daughter to the fullest.

Switching tones, the man said, "But you’re different; you’re still young. If you could secure a stable income through Changchang’s matter, I think she’d be happy too. After all, you were her best friend. She wished well for you."

"As for what to do, Changchang’s mother and I can’t help you. You need to be more proactive... Shuangshan Brigade can’t smooth sail forever. It’s key to see how you play your cards."

Qian Dilai hung her head in thought.

Always undesired by her family, if she could work at the Sauce Factory, even as a temporary worker, and send a few bucks home each month, would her family start valuing her more?

This thought rekindled Qian Dilai’s intentions, and she began to fiddle her fingers more quickly.

Zhong Chang’s father, witnessing this, felt even stronger disdain.

He even suspected that Changchang’s accident with the snake had something to do with this fool before him.

If he didn’t still need this fool to cause problems for the Shuangshan and Jianming brigades, he would never let her off.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, quickly concealed as Qian Dilai looked up.

Feigning concern, he said:

"Alright, we can’t delay any longer. You’re alone in the countryside, so be careful. If anything arises, write to us. We’ll certainly not shirk away from helping. We must hurry back to work now, so we’ll be going."

After speaking, he glanced at the woman beside him and walked toward the Guest House.

Even as his concerned words lingered in her ears, Qian Dilai felt warmth in her heart.

Zhong Chang’s father was so kind.

How wonderful it would be if her own father treated her the same way.

Pondering the man’s parting words, Qian Dilai’s gaze flickered.

-

Getting engaged didn’t really affect their lives; it just made the couple’s relationship more legitimate.

Gu Yingzhou was even more attentive to Lin Tang, often bringing things over to the Lin Family, creating quite an envy among those in Shuangshan Brigade.

Without realizing it, the brigade’s standard for finding sons-in-law had risen considerably.

"Tangtang really found herself a great partner," Wang Fang’s mother remarked.

"He’s not just a partner now; he’s her fiancé."

"Right, he’s her fiancé now." Wang Fangniang slapped her mouth, recalling the lackluster prospects the matchmaker proposed for her daughter, and nearly gagged with disgust. "If only my Xiaofang could find someone, not necessarily as excellent as Comrade Gu, but even one-tenth of him would do."

Logically, with the Sauce Factory, the brigade’s young men and women should have had an easier time finding partners, but reality was quite different.

The people from the county looked down on village folks.

The matches introduced by other brigades were not suitable, and that might have been alright, but some came with ulterior motives.

In the village, even minor matters spread far and wide.

Everyone knew about the Wang family’s situation.

Hearing Wang Fangniang’s lament, the others comforted her.

"Take your time, we’re not in a rush. It’s better to find a partner later than to send our girls into a pit."

"Exactly, our brigade’s girls aren’t desperate! Choosing a partner is like buying shoes; if the shoes don’t fit, the feet suffer."

Wang Fangniang chuckled, "That’s the idea; I’m not worried. Xiaofang is still young, after all."

"You’ve got a clear head," commended Liu’s elder sister, then brought up gossip about Liu Guohui’s family. "Have you heard what’s happening with the Liu Family?"

The village women all knew she liked to chatter about household affairs, so none were surprised by her bringing up the Liu Family.

Still, they said nothing.

Liu’s elder sister was undeterred by their silence, looking around carefully and lowering her voice, "I heard Liu Jiaojiao is about to get engaged!"

No one was surprised; they didn’t even bat an eyelid.

The Liu Family had had several matchmakers visiting lately; those who should be aware were aware.

Liu’s elder sister rolled her eyes impolitely, dispensing her exclusive scoop.

"Just you wait, there’s going to be a celebration in the brigade soon. And definitely beyond your expectations..."

She spoke with a mysteriously teasing tone, dangling the bait.

Everyone was accustomed to her dramatic flair, but they found themselves hooked all the same.
