Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 109 Get rich

"No!" Uncle Six protested. How could his son go to work in such a hopeless factory?

Zhuang Mingde was startled by his loud voice. He lowered his eyelids and didn't know what he was thinking. The room just became quiet.

After a long while, Zhuang Mingde finally spoke, "Dad, I don't have much money on hand. I want to borrow some from you so that I can buy a house in town. Lijuan told me that Xiaolu will be our child in the future. I will go to work in town, and I can't let them continue to live in my father-in-law's house."

When Uncle Liu heard the word "Xiaolu", his face darkened and he looked ferocious. "What do you mean your child? Does that little brat have anything to do with you?"

As Zhuang Mingde put the letter back into the envelope, he said to him gently, "You know Lijuan's situation. This accident was mainly caused by my fault. I can't divorce her just because Lijuan is not in good health. Dad, I'm already married for the second time, and it's not good for me to divorce and marry someone else."

He tried to reason with Uncle Six, but Uncle Six himself was not one to listen to advice. He simply waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. The child has nothing to do with you anyway. Your work will wait a little while. Come with me to a place later."

Jiang Yu had been waiting since the temperature started to rise, waiting for the postman to go to Uncle Liu's house. For this purpose, she would go to the mountain outside Zhida Road for a few laps almost every day. She wasted so much time, but finally she waited for the postman.

The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the roads out of town were also covered by snow, so it was impossible to travel. So the letters that had been piled up in the post office for a whole winter were only delivered in the past few days.

Naturally, the letter from the army to Zhuang Mingde was only delivered now.

Yi Chi's confident look at the beginning and everything that happened afterwards also gave Jiang Yu a certain amount of confidence.

Since Zhuang Mingde's future is blocked, the Sixth Uncle, who loves his son the most, certainly cannot sit idly by.

However, Jiang Yu was not sure what to do specifically.

But Jiang Yu secretly thought that there must be more things in Uncle Six's house than what was taken last time. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Now it all depends on what Uncle Six will do? If he doesn't use connections to get in through the back door, but goes into the mountains, then Jiang Yu will be ready to be the oriole.

God helps those who work hard. Uncle Six really lived up to Jiang Yu's expectations. He actually carried a hoe and took his son into the mountains in broad daylight!

Jiang Yu squatted on the tree and heard him tell the villagers he met on the road that he was going to clean up his wife's grave. In his heart, he couldn't help but praise that this was a good reason. It would be Qingming Festival soon, so he had to clean up the weeds!

This kind of thing is reasonable. It's not like burning incense or paper money. It's not a big deal to just weed.

The villagers patted Zhuang Mingde on the shoulders and said, "You have to go, you have to go. Mingde didn't have time to come back in previous years. It's good for you to go with your father this year and give him a hand."

After chatting for a while, they went their separate ways.

Jiang Yu followed quietly behind Uncle Liu and his son, following them over Yaoer Mountain and heading deep into the mountains.

"Dad, where are we going?" Zhuang Mingde became more and more confused as he walked, and looked around while holding the hoe.

There were trees everywhere, as far as the eye could see, and the ground was wet and covered with a layer of snow.

In order to climb the mountain, the father and son changed into rubber shoes. Although they are waterproof, they are not cold-resistant. They were frozen hard in a short time and their feet felt more uncomfortable the more they walked.

Uncle Liu walked up silently, still hesitating deep down whether he should go find his old leader. That man was a lunatic, blinded by money. If he knew that he had embezzled so many things, it was hard to say whether he would be willing to help, and he might even use him as a target!

But as for my son’s job… Although that person is still in the town and has not been promoted, he has been there for many years and at least has a wide network of contacts. He can definitely find Mingde a better factory and maybe even get a promotion.

Zhuang Mingde didn't hear his father's voice for a long time, so he could only concentrate on his journey, but he frowned and looked rather unfriendly.

It seems that the old man has been hiding a lot of things from him.

Jiang Yu was faster than them. He hid behind the tree canopy and watched the father and son who were hurrying on their way. Suddenly he found that this road looked familiar. It seemed to be the same direction as the last time he met the black bear mother and son.

However, when they reached the middle section, Uncle Liu and his son turned in another direction and did not walk towards where the black bear mother and son were.

Jiang Yu followed them through the woods, and from time to time he saw rabbits running around in the bushes. He felt itchy and wanted to eat some rabbit stewed in an iron pot!

After walking for about another hour, they climbed over another mountain. Uncle Liu went into a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain, and Zhuang Mingde followed closely behind him.

Jiang Yu stopped and found a big tree to squat under.

Because she didn't know how long it would take, she took out the magazine that Xiong Lijin had given her during the Chinese New Year and started reading it.

The picture above is very beautiful. Not only does it show the theme of the ancient building, but it also chooses a good angle, making the whole picture look very harmonious and beautiful. Unfortunately, most of them are distant views, and Jiang Yu cannot observe the details.

She waited and waited, and about an hour and a half passed before Uncle Liu and Zhuang Mingde came out. There was a small package behind Zhuang Mingde. It seemed that they did not take a lot of things, but just picked out the suitable ones to take away.

Hey! Then the rest will be mine, right? You are such a good person~

After Jiang Yu and the others left, he put away his books, climbed down the tree, and walked into the cave with light steps.

The cave was pitch black, but Jiang Yu was prepared. He took out a flashlight to illuminate the cave. He walked forward following the fresh footprints left by the father and son and soon saw two cave entrances.

Jiang Yu followed the footprints directly inside. She was fast and reached her destination in a short while.

There was something wrong with the trampled ground. There were pieces of mud that were rubbed aside by the soles of the shoes, leaving streaks of traces.

Jiang Yu took out a shovel from the space and started working. The advantage of having great strength was obvious. It took the father and son more than half an hour, but she could easily finish it in just over ten minutes.

There were four large clay pots buried in the ground, and the seal of one of them looked very new. Jiang Yu did not bother to see what was inside. He simply stuffed them all into the basket, put it in the space, and leveled the turned-over ground.

In order to fill the space in the middle, Jiang Yu also spread some of the mud next to it. After cleaning the traces, Jiang Yu dragged a basket out. The pattern on the bottom of the basket covered the footprints, cleaning all the traces thoroughly.

She glanced at the other hole, wondering if it was the treasure hiding spot of other people in the village. With the mentality of giving it a try, she put away the basket and went in again to check the situation.

There are almost no signs of anyone having been in the cave. There are some small and sharp stalactites on the top of the cave, dripping water, which should be the result of the melted snow.

Jiang Yu took out a shovel and turned the soil. As expected, there were a lot of things buried here. Jiang Yu collected them quickly, filled them with soil, and smoothed the ground.

It took less than an hour in total, and she was used to going up and down the mountain. When she quickened her pace to return to the village, she arrived at the same time as Uncle Liu and his men. Jiang Yu glanced at the father and son who came into the house, and returned to the educated youth point happily.

"Jiang Yu, you're back." Xue Li went to town today and packed up some red bean paste buns and meat buns, waiting for her to eat them together.

Jiang Yu shook the backpack and whispered, "I caught a rabbit."

Xue Li's eyes lit up! After eating only pickled meat this winter, he could finally eat something fresh to change the taste!
