The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 123: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (27)

"Xiangbei! Did something happen suddenly? Why did you think of farming?" the village chief asked curiously.

Wang Xiangbei didn't want to and couldn't tell others about his discovery. After all, it was just a speculation without evidence. He was an outsider and basically no one would believe him if he told others about it.

If he guessed wrong, it would be fine and the villagers would just laugh it off. But if he guessed right, he would most likely be regarded as a jinx.

"I'm seventeen and want to find a serious job." Wang Xiangbei gave a relatively reliable reason.

The village chief frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Let me take a look at the land first, but this kind of land is not the only way out. I'll ask my cousin who works on the farm to see if they need anyone."

"Go to the farm?" Wang Xiangbei's eyes lit up. "Uncle, can we really go to the farm?"

"What's that expression on your face?" The village chief was a little puzzled, but then he explained, "Even though this farm is funded by the government, they will still go hungry when they don't have enough food. Besides, a lot of their land is reclaimed from wasteland.

How this situation will continue, we will have to wait until next year to find out."

"It's okay, I'm willing to go to the farm." Wang Xiangbei insisted.

"Then I'll go and ask for you." The village chief agreed.

The next day, the village chief went to find his cousin Zhang Wang. Although he was his cousin, the village chief and Su's father Su Guoan were about the same age, with a difference of about 20 years between them, so the village chief respected Zhang Wang very much.

"Brother! How have you been recently?" The village chief came to see Zhang Wang today because of Wang Xiangbei's matter, but seeing that Zhang Wang looked so worried, it was difficult for him to start talking.

"It's OK!" Zhang Wang sighed. He had not intended to say anything, but he thought that his cousin was the village chief and might be able to help. "To be honest, it was your nephew who caused me trouble."

"What's wrong? I think my nephew is a nice guy!" The village chief had seen the nephew and he seemed to be an honest person.

Well! Actually, this nephew is only ten years younger than him.

"He doesn't want to stay on the farm and wants to go back to Zhangjia Village." Zhang Wang complained, "You know, when I left the village in the early years, I mortgaged the house. The land is still there, but where will he live after he returns?

Moreover, when I first came here, I made a promise to my superiors that we would not reduce the staff unless it was absolutely necessary. But now my son has to leave first.

This is nothing. Although I have stepped down and am no longer the director, I am a party member and I cannot go back on my promise to the organization."

The village chief rolled his eyes and asked, "He is the only one who has a place on the farm, right? Are his wife and children also listed under the farm?"

"No, they are at most considered family members. They don't have an official quota. They are calculated based on the amount of work they do. If they don't work, they won't get any food." Zhang Wang replied.

"So they live with you, cousin, on the farm?" the village chief asked again.

"How can she live with me?" Zhang Wang shook his head. "When we were building the new house, my daughter-in-law insisted on living separately from us. I swallowed my pride and asked Director Su for a small house. It's just outside the farm, next to Director Su.

Who would have thought that when we were about to get the house, my daughter-in-law thought it was too small and wanted to trade it with us. I firmly disagreed and only gave up after my husband scolded me.

Look, not long after things calmed down, they are making trouble again, wanting to go back to the village."

"Cousin, I finally understand." The village chief came up with a plan, "In fact, we just need to find someone in the village who is willing to exchange with my nephew."

"Don't make fun of me. Where can I find such a person?" Zhang Wang smiled bitterly. "We still need to change houses."

"Maybe there really is one." The village chief thought of a ready-made candidate. "There's someone in our village who wants to work on the farm. I came here today to ask if the farm needs anyone else. And his house happens to be a big house with three rooms."

"Ah?" Zhang Wang felt incredible. "No way!"

"I dare not promise anything now. How about this! I will go back and ask him first, you wait for my news." The village chief said, "But I have to say this in advance, he doesn't have any land, you have to solve the land issue yourselves."

"The land issue is easy to handle." Zhang Wang waved his hand. "I will just take back the land I rented out before, and then give some compensation to the tenants. It will be easy to deal with the villagers."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask for you." The village chief agreed immediately.
