Chapter 39 There Are Still Good People
There are now more than 80 workers on Zhang Yuedong's construction site. When the weather got hot, the fire room in the tent became too stuffy, so they built two large brick houses, one as a kitchen and the other as a dining room, and put out several tables for the workers to eat.

There are too many people eating and the rice cannot be cooked.

There's no rice cooker that big.

You can’t even eat handmade noodles, they are all pressed by machines.

Jiang Ning had a sheep slaughtered and asked his aunt to cook a pot.

The meat was cut from four lamb legs and skewered for grilling.

There are no trees for shade at the construction site, so the sun is a bit strong.

Jiang Ning asked his cousin Zhang Yulong to fetch a parasol and open it to prevent Comrade Lao Yang from fainting from the sun.

There is no shortage of food on the pasture. The more than one hundred sheep we bought before are all well fed. Whenever we want to eat meat, we just slaughter one. We have eaten seven or eight so far. Most of the time, we can't finish the food, so we give it to the workers on my uncle's construction site.

At the rate he eats this way, he’ll probably have eaten most of it by the end of the year.

Yang Zhen's wife is not in Bei'an, but in Beijing, working as a nanny for their son.

The old man was actually quite lonely, and he would worry when it was time for dinner. He would often drag Zhang Yulong and the accountant to eat together. Of course, he couldn't let the young people treat him, so the old man paid for it out of his own pocket, which saved Zhang Yulong and the accountant a lot of money on meals.

Eating with migrant workers on the construction site is not a problem.

The old man actually likes to eat on the construction site.

There are many people here, so it is lively when eating.

I'm just embarrassed to come here often, so of course there's no problem with Jiang Ning calling me.

Jiang Ning personally grilled meat for everyone.

He also enjoys doing things himself occasionally.

Moreover, since the old comrade came over, he no longer had to worry about many administrative troubles. The old comrade was experienced and patient, and handled everything properly. As for various procedures, the old comrade just made a few phone calls and everything was done.

Even if you support a hundred useless people, they are still not as good as one old person.

Jiang Ning would be willing to serve the old man even if it meant personally serving him once.

Yang Zhen was not good at cooking, so he sat under the arbour and waited.

While Jiang Ning was grilling skewers, he asked, "Has your son bought a house?"

Yang Zhen was worried when he mentioned this: "We bought it. We scraped together some money and took out a 2 million loan. We have to pay 10,000 a month for the mortgage, plus raising children. The remaining salary is not enough to spend. We have to subsidize them. Life is very tight. We have to calculate whether the living expenses are enough before going to a restaurant. I really don't understand what young people nowadays are thinking. Their hometown is so good and there is no shortage of houses to live in, but they have to be house slaves in big cities instead of going back to their hometown."

Jiang Ning said: "People tend to move to higher places, big cities are prosperous, Bei'an is too backward after all."

The old man sighed and felt a little unhappy.

Jiang Ning changed the subject: "You are also a leader. You have worked for most of your life. Why haven't you earned enough money to buy a house for your son?"

The old man said, "It depends on where the house is. I bought him a house in Bei'an, but what can I do if my son doesn't want it? Forget about the big cities, where a house costs several million. Even if my salary is not low, it's only about 100,000 a year. How much can I save?"

Jiang Ning said: "Everyone else is trying to generate income, but you just live on your salary."

The old man said, "Don't do things that corrupt the government. It's okay to eat and drink, but don't put the money in your pocket. That's the people's hard-earned money. I can't sleep if I put it in my pocket. People only live for a few decades. It's enough to have enough money to spend. There's no point in having so much."

Jiang Ning disagreed. The more money the better.

But I have to admire the old man's integrity.

He used to absolutely not believe that there were such people in the world, but after getting to know the old man, he had to change his mind. It’s not that there are no such people, but they are relatively few, and they are not in prominent positions and are unknown.

Maybe the old man is not noble after all.

But at least he is a man of principles.

But it seems difficult for such people to reach the top of the mountain...

After dinner, I chatted with my uncle Zhang Yuedong for a while.

The driver took Old Man Yang home, and Jiang Ning drove back to the community.

Park the car downstairs of Building 8, go up to the third floor and open the door to enter the house.

I changed into slippers and was about to call Feng Yu when Jiang's father called.

Jiang Ning picked up the phone casually: "Dad."

Jiang Youxin asked, "Where are you?"

Jiang Ning said: "Just got home."

Jiang Youxin said: "Then come over here, you Yida is here."

Jiang Ning asked: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Youxin said: "It's your brother-in-law Wei Tao's business."

Jiang Ning understood, hung up the phone, put on his shoes and went out.

When they arrived at their brother's house in Building No. 6, Jiang's father was sitting with his second cousin Jiang Youyi from his second grandfather's side and an old man in his sixties. When they heard the door open, they all looked over. Jiang Ning walked to the entrance, stopped to say hello, and then sat down on the sofa.

After Dad Jiang introduced him, I learned that the old man was Wei Tao's father.

It doesn't look like it.

The old man looks like an honest farmer.

Wei Tao is nothing like his father...

Uh, it seems a bit similar to my home.

I am not like my father...

Jiang Ning was thinking, not cold, but definitely not enthusiastic either, so he exchanged a few words.

Jiang Youyi then got down to business: "Jiang Ning, something happened to your brother-in-law Wei, and I need your help."

Jiang Ning knew it well, but still asked, "What happened to my brother-in-law?"

Jiang Youyi coughed and said, "Your brother-in-law got into a fight with someone and was arrested. We have tried to find a way, but the people we found don't have strong connections. You have a good relationship with the leader, can you help ask for help to get him out?"

Jiang Ning asked: "How can you get arrested for fighting?"

Jiang Youyi said vaguely: "It seems that he has some connection with her."

Jiang Ning took out his phone and said, "Let me call and ask!"

The call was made and the call was connected quickly.

"Good leadership."

"what's up."

Jiang Ning said: "Let me ask about Wei Tao. You know about Wei Tao, right?"

The leader hummed: "I know. Do you know Wei Tao too?"

Jiang Ning asked, "My cousin's husband, is the matter serious?"

The leader said: "Do you think this is a serious matter that the big boss is personally concerned about?"

Jiang Ning asked, “Is there any way to solve this problem?” The leader said, “It’s very difficult. Wei Tao’s case is very bad. The big boss has issued instructions to deal with it severely. You’d better not get involved.”

Jiang Ning didn't care anymore, he hung up the phone and spread his hands: "I can't do anything about it, you heard it too."

He deliberately turned on the speakerphone so that everyone could hear it.

Jiang Youyi and Wei's father looked disappointed and their spirits were gone in an instant.

Jiang Ning asked: "Who did my brother-in-law beat up? Why did the big boss pay attention to it?"

"This……"

Jiang Youyi could only continue to be vague: "I'm not sure either!"

There is no way out here.

I didn't want to sit there any longer, so I left after five or six minutes.

After seeing the person off, the father and son returned to sit on the sofa.

Jiang Youxin asked, "Is there really no other way?"

Jiang Ning said: "Yes!"

Jiang Youxin said: "Why don't you help?"

Jiang Ning said: "If you go in, I can definitely get you out. Wei Tao is not my father, why should I get him out!"

Jiang Youxin glared angrily: "How can you talk like that!"

Jiang Ning said: "I'm telling the truth. Do you know what Wei Tao did?"

Jiang Youxin was surprised: "You know?"

Jiang Ning said: "Beian is so small, what can be hidden from people? It's fine if he collects debts and beats people, but he also sleeps with people's wives. If he can't hold it back, he can just go find a prostitute. Why does he have to sleep with people's wives?"

Jiang Youxin was quite embarrassed. This topic was not suitable for father and son to discuss. But he couldn't help but be surprised: "How could this happen? Did you hear nonsense from others?"

Jiang Ning said: "What Brother-in-law Liu Wei said should not be nonsense."

Jiang Youxin was speechless. This was really ridiculous. He paused and asked, "Have you been sued?"

Jiang Ning said, "Of course he is. Otherwise, how could he be caught? The debtor is a coward. If someone with more blood in his heart didn't chop him up on the spot, it would be strange. It's also good for him to go in and receive reform, so that he won't be stabbed in the back someday."

Jiang Youxin opened his mouth, but no words came out.

No wonder Jiang Youyi and Wei's father were so secretive before.

It’s really hard to talk about feelings.

Forget it.

If his son didn't want to help, he wouldn't force him.

But when the person arrived at his home, he couldn't save face and had to call his son.

It's better not to worry about this kind of shit.

Jiang Ning didn't stay long. He just played with his little niece and left.

Go to Building No. 8 and call Feng Yu.

Now there will be no more unexpected events to spoil the fun.

After waiting for a while, Feng Yu came over.

I guess I just took a shower and my hair is still wet.

Wearing a skirt, it's fine.

Just wear more skirts.

Feng Yu felt a little embarrassed by his burning gaze and said, "Can you please not be so lewd?"

Jiang Ning hugged the slender waist that could not be grasped with one hand, and said: "If people are not lustful, how can they have offspring? This is the source of human reproduction. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, women are more lustful than men..."

Feng Yu had a high moral value and could not stand such slanderous words. He quickly retorted: "Nonsense!"

Jiang Ning said: "I am not talking nonsense. When we made love, you enjoyed it more than I did..."

Feng Yu was so ashamed that she punched him and said, "You want to die? Stop talking."

Jiang Ning said: "I am stating the facts..."

Feng Yu quickly stretched out his right hand and covered his mouth.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Feng Yu's pretty face flushed, and there was a hint of shyness in her autumn eyes, but it soon dissipated and turned into a touch of spring love. She bit her lips lightly and said, "Don't say anything more, or I'll leave."

Jiang Ning nodded.

She took her hand away.

Jiang Ning put his arms around her waist, and the two of them stuck together tightly.

Feng Yu was afraid that he would say something shameful and obscene, so he quickly changed the subject: "I heard news today that your cousin's husband seemed to have done something wrong and was arrested."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "You know that too?"

Feng Yu nodded and asked, "What did your cousin's husband do wrong?"

Jiang Ning said: "He slept with someone else's wife."

Feng Yu was stunned: "Ah?"

Jiang Ning explained it in detail.

Feng Yu's eyes widened as she heard this, as if her worldview had been shattered: "How could this be possible!"

Jiang Ning said, "So, I gave him a good meal during the Spring Festival, hoping that he would be more restrained and not be so arrogant. Who knew that not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more arrogant. Now, he finally gets three free meals."

Feng Yu couldn't help but said, "Stay away from people like this in the future."

Jiang Ning asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I will sleep with someone else's wife?"

Feng Yu's eyes sparkled: "Are all men like this?"

Jiang Ning said: "That's pretty much it, it's human nature!"

Feng Yu: “…”

PS: After reading some book reviews, I was speechless.

In the first chapter, the protagonist is on a mission in the Amazon, and I didn’t say the Amazon is in Africa!
Isn't it possible to carry out the mission from Africa to the Amazon in South America?

I was wrong, I should have added the word 'South America' before Amazon.
