Chapter 180: Chapter 170: Coming to the Door
Watching the grain being loaded onto the truck.
Guo Dongjun finally felt relieved, as long as the grain is transported back to the forest farm, it will surely be theirs to keep.
But once they’re out of the county town, nothing is guaranteed.
He’s well aware of how lawless the county leaders can be.
It’s not that the county leaders lack talent, definitely not! They are good people, showing great concern for their subordinates and making careful calculations for them everywhere.
But the problem is that their county is poor.
That’s why their leaders habitually remind them to be self-reliant and find solutions on their own.
When he came to get the logging permit, the county leaders even praised him.
They said he knew how to be adaptable, assured him there was no issue, encouraged him to proceed boldly, and promised to credit him as long as he could secure more grain and help brother units alleviate some grain difficulties.
He’s not seeking any credit; as long as this bit of grain can suffice to fill the stomachs of the people at their farm, that’s good enough.
Surely, they can’t expect Jiang Xiaoxiao alone to resolve the grain problems of an entire county.
That would be imposing too much on the young girl.
Now, watching the grain ready for transport, Guo Dongjun nodded in satisfaction, "Xiao Xiao, I know you need to wait in the county for your uncle these couple of days. Rest assured, as soon as you call, the captain and I will be right by the phone.
You can call me or the captain, and we’ll immediately dispatch people and trucks to directly transport the grain. You can proceed without worry."
This was to reassure Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled in agreement; she knew she truly couldn’t leave.
"Director, who exactly is Song Moting looking for in the county? It’s been two days and two nights without any news. Why don’t you just tell me the place, and I’ll try to look for him."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was a bit worried.
Song Moting was not an unreliable person.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had a bit of a liking for Song Moting.
Yet this time, Song Moting simply disappeared.
To say Song Moting was avoiding them might not be accurate; there’s no guarantee he could accomplish the task. If she didn’t have some means herself, she wouldn’t dare make such grand promises.
This isn’t a compulsory task.
There’s no reason for Song Moting to hide.
She was more worried that something had happened to Song Moting.
Guo Dongjun thought it over. This matter wasn’t confidential, so there was no reason not to share.
"Song Moting said he went to the military district compound to find someone, though I don’t know who he is looking for, it should be at the military district compound."
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded. The military compound is in the north of the city, and their small county town isn’t big, honestly, walking around twice would cover the whole town.
"Alright. Director, Captain, be careful on the road. Once the train grain arrives at the station, I’ll immediately call you."
Jiang Xiaoxiao reminded everyone.
Guo Dongjun and the others got in the car, and He Aiguo took down a backpack from the vehicle and handed it directly to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"You didn’t bring anything when you came, staying at your elder sister’s husband’s place, eating and living entirely off them. You can’t come empty-handed, Jia Shu and we discussed, we brought you some items. All are grown at our own farm. Not much else, but these are quite abundant. Can’t let your sister and brother-in-law lose out."
He turned and got back into the car and left.
Jiang Xiaoxiao waved and smiled farewell.
Once they were gone, she opened the backpack to have a look.
Inside the backpack were two wild chickens, and above them was a small basket.
The basket contained dozens of eggs, seemingly carefully arranged.
A wooden panel was placed over the egg basket, so even if the wild chickens jumped up, the eggs below would remain intact.
Honestly, she was in such a hurry when she came that she didn’t consider bringing eggs and chickens.
These items, properly prepared, would nourish her sister’s health, and her niece at home, who is at the stage for eating supplementary food, couldn’t miss half an egg yolk each day.
These are purely natural, pollution-free wild eggs, with high nutritional value.
Carrying the items, she happily headed home.
Just reaching the door, she heard a noisy commotion in the courtyard, with many people gathered at the entrance.
Chief Wei immediately recognized Jiang Xiaoxiao and rushed to her, "You better go have a look. I don’t know what’s happening, but earlier an elderly couple claiming to be your sister’s parents-in-law came over. They are making a fuss in the courtyard, accusing your sister and brother-in-law of being unfilial, abandoning their parents in the village to indulge themselves while leaving their parents to starve.
We don’t know who’s right or wrong in this matter, and can’t step in to intervene. If this keeps up and the factory leadership finds out, it might not be good. You should hurry inside to convince them to discuss things indoors properly. Such chaos is making a spectacle for everyone."
Chief Wei genuinely cared about Qin Ming. Although initially self-serving, after spending time together, he realized how truly honest and diligent Qin Ming was.
He had no ill intentions and wasn’t talkative.
Furthermore, considering Qin Ming’s resourceful sister-in-law and the family’s connections.
One can never predict what great opportunities might arise in the future and sticking by as genuine friends would mean Qin Ming would surely help if there’s difficulty.
Just the other day, Qin Ming even secretly gave him 20 jin of flour, showing he valued mutual generosity.
Being good to them meant receiving genuine support in return.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew deep down that the Qin family wouldn’t let Qin Ming be.
The Beidong provinces were all hit by disasters; how could Qin Ming’s production team evade it?
It’s likely that Old Qin’s family ran out of grain, so they’re targeting Qin Ming.
Back when they took 1000 yuan, Jiang Xiaoxiao was quite aware of the situation, and she was the one who provided the money.
The Old Qin family had such audacity.
Taking the money and still causing trouble, they are capitalizing on their status as Qin Ming’s biological parents, knowing Qin Ming can’t do anything against them.
Moreover, deep down Qin Dazhi has always seen his son as the obedient child who used to endure hardship, allowing them to manipulate him at will.
Bullying honest people, exploiting his reluctance to speak negatively about his own parents in front of others.
To put it plainly, it’s exploiting honest people.
Qin Ming, who values his reputation, certainly can’t have worked at the factory for so long.
And let everyone see how shameless his parents are.
This is where valuing one’s reputation makes one suffer while those shameless reap benefits.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pushed through the crowd to enter as the gathered families made way. Everyone knew Jiang Xiaoxiao; she’d been staying here these days, so who wouldn’t know her!
She was Qin Ming’s sister-in-law, a youth volunteer from a nearby farm!
To put it bluntly, they all knew Qin Ming had quite a backing.
Though not many had direct interactions with Qin Ming, everyone knew these two as good people, always greeting courteously and never showing anger.
Today’s spectacle took everyone by surprise, leaving them silently speculating without voicing opinions on who’s right or wrong.
The matter simply couldn’t be judged easily.
The saying goes that even honest officials struggle to resolve family disputes, especially when there might be hidden agendas that no one understands.
The pair didn’t seem like insidious or unfilial people.
For their parents to claim such, who knows what the underlying truth might be?
Don’t underestimate the wit of fellow workers; they’re quite clever.
Truly, who amongst workers doesn’t have their own family?
