Master Yang didn’t even ask if his nephew was available before he agreed to the task.
You know, just going to Haicheng and dealing with some stuff could earn you over a hundred yuan. Such an opportunity is hard to come by.
If his nephew had such a great opportunity, everything should be rescheduled. Nothing is more important than making money.
Jiang Changhai entrusted this task to his nephew also out of respect for his face, benefiting both parties. How could he then still demand Jiang Changhai’s salary? That would be too greedy.
"Haha, good, let’s do as you said, Master Yang. I have no objections," Jiang Changhai happily agreed, seeing that Master Yang was indeed a sincere man.
That evening, after returning home, Jiang Changhai discussed the matter of Master Yang’s nephew driving in his stead with his mother and daughter, and Jiang Mianmian and Su Wanyu were completely relieved.
Before going to sleep that night, Su Wanyu took out the family’s money and counted it while sitting on the bed, "Brother Hai, how much capital will you take to Haicheng this time? We now have just over fourteen hundred yuan."
Jiang Changhai glanced at the money in her hands, frowned, and worried, "That’s a bit little. It’s not easy to make a trip to Haicheng now, even the round trip costs quite a bit. This amount over a thousand is really insignificant."
"What should we do then? Should we go borrow some? After all, it would only be for a month at most," Su Wanyu suggested.
Jiang Changhai thought for a moment and then flashed a determined smile, "Hey, wife, don’t worry about this. I’ve got this covered."
Seeing his confidence, Su Wanyu curiously asked, "Hmm? Brother Hai, where are you planning to borrow from?"
"Last time we sold ginseng, brother two and brother three each got over four hundred, right? It’s only been a few days, they definitely still have money. I’ll go see them tomorrow and borrow from their stash."
"Would they agree to that?"
Su Wanyu felt that Jiang Changhai’s plan was a bit naïve. Not to mention whether brother two’s family could lend the money, Sun Lixia was known for taking advantage of others.
She always went out to take advantage at others’ expense, and no one had ever benefited from her generosity. Who could possibly borrow her money?
Yet Jiang Changhai confidently smiled, "No worries, wife. I won’t just borrow for nothing. I’ll offer them some extra interest. Otherwise, that money isn’t doing them any good anyway. If I borrow it and invest it for profit, they should be grateful."
"Alright, try it then."
The day after tomorrow was the trip to Haicheng, and with time pressing, Jiang Changhai ate a quick meal at the canteen after work, borrowed Aunt Li’s bike, and after informing Su Wanyu, he returned to the village.
Zhang Guihua was quite surprised to see him coming back suddenly, "Eldest, why did you come back at this time? Is something the matter?"
"Mom, it’s nothing, I just need to talk to brother two and brother three about something," Jiang Changhai explained dismissively.
"What’s the matter, big brother?" Jiang Changtao quickly asked.
Jiang Changhe also looked at him curiously.
Jiang Changhai gestured to them, "Come with me for a second."
After the three brothers went outside, Zhang Guihua, full of curiosity, also wanted to follow, but Jiang Dashan stopped her, "Old lady, where do you think you’re going?"
"I want to see what they are talking about. Why can’t they discuss it here in our house?" Zhang Guihua was usually quite inquisitive.
Jiang Dashan, however, was unbothered, "Eldest doesn’t want you to know, so don’t go making a mess. The kids are grown up; we can’t control everything. Come back, it wouldn’t look good for them to see us meddling."
