62: Chapter 62 Wu Changshan’s Thoughts 62: Chapter 62 Wu Changshan’s Thoughts Inside Wu Changshan’s home at this time, the couple sat there.
Wu Changshan’s wife Lan Xiaohua whispered, “Deputy Chief Ji actually fancies our Wu Mi?”
“Rest assured, Wu Mi is a beautiful girl, as long as she dares to pursue it, this can work,” Wu Changshan lit his pipe and took a puff.
“What are you really thinking?”
“What else can I think?
Let me tell you, everyone knows the situation with the village kids.
Once they go out, at best they do some manual labor, unable to make a name for themselves.
Then some kids end up in footbaths or nightclubs, places you don’t know about, which are really just selling flesh.”
“What’s this got to do with Wu Mi?”
You don’t know about Deputy Chief Ji.
Let me tell you, he rose from an ordinary clerk to deputy chief in no time.
I’ve watched him discreetly, and his abilities are strong.
It’s also quite likely he’ll climb higher.
If Wu Mi becomes his woman, those other things won’t need doing, and her life will definitely improve.”
“But would someone like him marry Wu Mi?”
“What are you thinking?
Who in our village has that piece of paper?
Do you really think getting that certificate makes everything wonderful?
Let me tell you, it’s all about the tangible benefits.
Getting real advantages is far better than holding a piece of paper.
Hoping he’ll marry Wu Mi is pointless; the best way is to cement the relationship, so he’ll recognize it eventually.”
“You’re right; it’s the same with others in our village.
Besides, if life outside gets tough, it’s also meaningless.”
“Good that you understand.
With so many kids in our family, several of them girls, I have to consider their futures.
If Wu Mi gets with him, he won’t be able to ignore her in the next step.”
While they were talking, Wu Mi walked in.
You could see she was in a good mood, her face flushed with color.
“You’ve been waited for, child.
How did it go?” Lan Xiaohua asked.
Wu Mi’s face turned red, and she whispered, “He didn’t sleep with me.”
Wu Changshan said, “What happened?
Tell me the situation.”
Wu Mi recounted what had happened.
Wu Changshan nodded slightly and said, “I’m even more at ease now.
Deputy Chief Ji’s nature is good; he’s not reckless.
If he can keep to his principles, he won’t treat you badly in the future.”
“Ji is a good person; I can feel it.
He doesn’t want to hurt me.” Wu Mi was truly happy in her heart.
Lan Xiaohua said, “Since it’s , you’ll be his woman from now on.
You can’t do anything to betray him.”
“Mom, what are you saying?
I definitely won’t betray him.”
“Did he say anything?”
“He gave me several tasks.”
“The first one is to trade my land for the land near the hot springs, saying that once the hot spring resort is built, I’ll be in charge of managing it.”
Wu Changshan’s eyes lit up immediately and said, “Did he mention anything about nobody coming here for baths?”
“He said business will definitely be good in the future.”
Wu Changshan thought for a while, and his eyes lit up again, “Building a road; only with a road will more people come here.
It means it’s very likely that a road will be built.”
“Dad, what are you talking about?”
While nobody knows about this yet, I’ll take care of this matter tomorrow.”
“Ji told me, if possible, to get as much land as possible.”
If it doesn’t work, we can trade our land too.”
Lan Xiaohua said, “That doesn’t sound good.
If there’s no harvest there, what will we eat?”
“You don’t understand.
If he dares to let Wu Mi do this, he must be confident.
If this really works out, it’ll be a remarkable thing for our family.”
Wu Mi said, “Dad, this is Ji’s business.”
Wu Changshan hesitated before saying, “Alright, just trade your land.
It’s the business he’s given you.
If it develops well, you’ll live a good life.
I’ll do my best to sort this out for you.
Trading fertile land for a barren piece should still be agreeable to everyone.”
“That would be great.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Ji gave me salt and money to help him purchase mountain goods.
Oh, and Wu Hu’s kind of rice wine, saying it will be very useful.
When the time comes, we’ll help carry it out of the mountains.”
“That’s not hard, haha.
It shows the lad has started helping you.
Lan Xiaohua said, “With someone like him, I fear he might have too many women later.”
“So what if there are many women?
As long as our daughter has this property, the good days will come.
Those officials, who among them doesn’t have a few women?
This can be seen in the recent village matters.
It’s impossible to stop them from fooling around outside.”
Wu Mi said, “As long as Ji cares about me, that’s enough.
I’ll definitely help him get things done.”
“Right, Ji said it’s best not to talk about our matter to others.”
Definitely can’t speak of it.
If it gets out, many things will become difficult to manage.” Wu Changshan quite agreed.
“Dad, if it’s , will there be a great demand for lime and bricks?”
Looking at Wu Mi, Wu Changshan said, “You’re smart, child.
I predict those things will soon be in great demand.
I need to organize everyone to work on these matters.
When we make money, no one will say anything.”
The three of them discussed the next steps.
