In the beginning, I kicked my step-brother to waste, and took a few acres of land to the countryside

Xiao Zhiqing was completely dumbfounded. He said anxiously:

"How come you have no sympathy at all? I'm in this state, can't you just..."

Before Xiao Zhiqing could finish, Wei Min said angrily:

"No, why should we use our hard-earned money to buy you a house and a job? Are you our father or our son? Why should we support you like this?"

"Since you don't want the face I give you, I'll give you two choices. Either you take the initiative to go with us to the captain tomorrow and we can exchange the house purchase certificate peacefully, or we explain the situation to the captain and unilaterally exchange the house purchase certificate!"

Xiao Zhiqing prayed:

"Can't you give me a few months' grace? When I have money, I will definitely give it to you four!"

Wei Min refused:

"So, you don't want to accept my toast, then fine, we'll go explain the situation to the captain tomorrow, and it'll be the same when we exchange the house purchase certificate!"

Seeing that Wei Min had no intention of sympathizing with him, Xiao Zhiqing shouted angrily:

"You cold-blooded person, I don't believe the captain will change you, I won't go!"

After saying that, Xiao Zhiqing ran away!

Wei Min looked at Xiao Zhiqing's back, snorted coldly, turned around and asked Ji Zhiqing:

"What about you? Do you want to drink the toast or the penalty drink?"

Ji Zhiqing saw that the situation was hopeless and he could not gain any advantage, so he could only hang his head and say dejectedly:

"I'll go with you guys to talk to the captain tomorrow. Let's just part ways amicably!"

After saying that, Ji Zhiqing also followed Xiao Zhiqing's footsteps!

Yuan Zhiqing watched the two people leave and said angrily:

"How could these two be like this? We thought they were good people and lent them money, but they actually thought of taking advantage of us like this!"

Wei Min sighed:

"Only after going through things can you see a person's true nature. Who would have thought that Xiao Zhiqing and Ji Zhiqing, who looked honest and caring about their family, were actually full of calculations!"

"Okay, now that they're gone, let's talk about how to allocate the jobs and how much they'll pay!"

Yuan Zhiqing said directly:

"I think the plan Meng Zhiqing just proposed is quite reasonable. The two paid jobs should be paid more. What do you think?"

Wei Min nodded and said:

"I think so too. I'd better switch to feeding pigs. I'll pay 30 yuan!"

Yang Xiaohong also said:

"I'm the same as Wei Min. I still want to do the job of feeding pigs. I'm already familiar with it, so I don't want to get involved in raising cattle and sheep. I'll also pay 30 yuan like Wei Min!"

Licorice Apricot immediately expressed his opinion:

"I can choose the job of feeding pigs. I don't have enough money, so my mother sent me 100 yuan. I will contribute 30 yuan like Wei Zhiqing and Yang Zhiqing."

Jiang Zhiqing said casually:

"My family did send me 200 yuan, plus the money I have left, the money is enough, but I want to work with Wei Zhiqing and the other two, it will be more convenient, so I will just feed the pigs, I will pay 30 yuan."

Meng Xingye took out a pen and paper to calculate the difference between Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing's jobs, and then took the initiative to say:

"I calculated how much more money the two jobs can earn. I think Lin Shouwang's job should remain at 240 yuan, while Lin Shangjing's job should be 180 yuan. It would be enough if each of you four female educated youths contributed 4 yuan!"

"After all, raising pigs is not exposed to the wind and sun, and you don't have to participate in the busy farming season, so you get better work points, but there is really no salary!"

"As for me and Yuan Zhiqing, for the sake of fairness, let's draw lots!"

Yuan Zhiqing had no objection, and the two of them drew lots. In the end, Yuan Zhiqing had better luck and drew Lin Shouwang's job.

After a few people were selected, the next morning, without even having breakfast, they called Ji Zhiqing to go to the team leader's house.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xiao Zhiqing also went to the captain's house dejectedly!

Just like that, several people peacefully exchanged the certificates for buying a house. Meng Xingye and Yuan Zhiqing paid the extra money, and I no longer had to live together with two people!

The six people originally thought that it would take at least a week to move into the Lin family, but that night, Lin Manman went to the thatched house to give Wei Min the key!

Wei Min thought Lin Manman was in a hurry to sell the house, so he explained:

"Lin Zhiqing, we're not in a hurry. We can stay here after you leave!"

Lin Manman smiled and said:

"My brother and I have already bought tickets to Spring City tomorrow. We plan to visit a friend before returning to Beijing. We don't have much stuff, so we can just go to the post office tomorrow and mail it back to Beijing!"

"Here are the keys. We'll leave tomorrow morning, so you can move in right away!"

"You and Yang Zhiqing should live in our room. I hope my room will be left for you two!"

Wei Min smiled and nodded:

"We both want to live in Lin Zhiqing's room!"

"I wish Lin Zhiqing a safe journey and a bright future. I hope we can meet again one day!"

When Wei Min mentioned the bright future, Lin Manman's mind moved, and she said meaningfully:

"It's quiet for Wei Zhiqing and the others to live alone. When we have nothing to do at night, we can still read more textbooks!"

Wei Min didn't understand why Lin Manman suddenly brought this up. She was a little surprised and said:

"What rumors did Lin Zhiqing hear when he said this?"

Lin Manman shook his head and said:

"What kind of rumors can there be? I am just an educated youth like you. I work in a commune and I am just a veterinarian. Even if there are rumors, they can't reach me!"

"I just feel emotional. You said my dad was reinstated just like that. It's really like thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. No one knows what the future will be like!"

"Okay, I'm just here to give you a key, but I have to go back quickly!"

"I also wish Wei Zhiqing and Yang Zhiqing a smooth life and a bright future!"

After Lin Manman finished speaking, she stood up and left.

Wei Min was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Yang Xiaohong thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what Lin Manman was going to say. She asked Wei Min uncertainly:

"Wei Min, what do you think Lin Zhiqing meant by what she said just now? Was she showing off to us on purpose?"

Wei Min glared at Yang Xiaohong and said:

"You have a really stupid brain. You're so smart that you can come up with this idea. Lin Zhiqing was just reminding me..."

Thinking of Yang Xiaohong's hot-tempered character and her slippery mouth, Wei Min swallowed the second half of the sentence!

Lin Zhiqing reminded them that they should not let him down, but Wei Min decided that she should keep the matter to herself.

As for Yang Xiaohong, that’s easy. She will take her to study without any delay.

Wei Min changed his words:

"Who knows what Lin Zhiqing meant? Maybe it was just a sigh. Don't let your imagination run wild!"

"Tomorrow morning we'll go to the county scrap yard and buy six sets of textbooks, one set for each of us!"

Yang Xiaohong didn't understand why.

"Why buy textbooks? You don't need textbooks to raise pigs or cattle or sheep. Are you talking nonsense because you are sleepy? Shouldn't you buy books on raising cattle and sheep?"

"Besides, there's no rush to buy books. We have to move tomorrow!"

Wei Min insisted:

"No, just go buy the textbooks first. It won't be too late to move in the afternoon after that!"

Yang Xiaohong was very confused and said:

"What's the point of buying so many textbooks? Are you crazy with joy?"

Wei Min looked at Yang Xiaohong's empty head with pity and said firmly:

“Buy textbooks to protect your home!”
