Country Love: My stepmother, Yang Xiaoyan, told me to tone it down.

Xie Guangkun was at home when he received a phone call from Qi Santai.

He said he was having dinner with Director Wang from the county education commission that afternoon, and that Director Wang would let Yongqiang start working in the county within a week.

"That's great! How can I thank Director Wang? How about I give him two free-range chickens?"

"Let's talk about it another day, after Yongqiang goes to work."

"That's okay too."

Guangkun hung up the phone and hummed a little tune as he walked back and forth in the yard.

After Qi Santai stood him up many times, this time he finally got an accurate one.

Within a week, Yongqiang went to work at the county education commission.

Just now, Guangkun called to inquire about Xu Hui's investment.

The other party said that a contract had been signed, and 99.99% of the investment would be made in the village.

"Just you wait, you little bastard Xu Hui!"

Xie Guangkun snorted coldly.

He didn't want to ruin the investment plan, but now the investment was already confirmed.

With the matter settled, Guangkun was no longer afraid of offending Xu Hui.

Once investments are made and various infrastructure projects are implemented, it's not so easy to leave.

Furthermore, with Yongqiang about to start working at the county education commission, Xie Guangkun now acts with impunity in Xiangyashan, fearing no one.

night.

The Xie family and Wang Changgui and his daughter had a small celebration dinner together.

Pi Changshan contributed the best wine from his family, but he himself was reluctant to drink it.

"Yongqiang, if you ever amount to anything, don't forget about us!"

Chang Gui said with a smile.

"My dear in-law, you're quite remarkable too! With this successful investment attraction, could you be transferred to the town?"

Guangkun asked.

"Basically, that's what Mayor Qi said."

Wang Changgui, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said smugly.

"From now on, our two families will be extraordinary. We will be prominent families in Ivory Mountain, and no one will dare to bully us."

Guangkun said with a smile.

"No one can bully them anyway."

Chang Gui said, exhaling clouds and mist.

soon.

Changgui was not happy when he discovered Xiangxiu.

"Xiu, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong, why don't you smile? Yongqiang is going to the county education commission in another week, you should go with him then. I inquired this afternoon, the county education commission can allocate apartments."

"Oh."

Xiangxiu responded casually.

He kept thinking about Xu Hui; Yongqiang in front of him was not even in the same league as Xu Hui.

Even if Yongqiang works at the county education commission, can he afford a villa, a luxury car, and buy jewelry and cosmetics without looking at the price?

Most importantly, Yongqiang isn't as handsome as Xu Hui.

"Xiu, don't think about unrealistic things. Yongqiang is such a good kid. We know him inside and out. Isn't he better than others?!"

Wang Changgui guessed something and said.

the next day.

Guangkun got up early to go up the mountain to pick some mountain produce, dry it, and send it to Director Wang of the county education commission.

You can't expect someone to help you for free, can you?

Just as they were about to lead the donkey cart out, they found the donkey shed completely empty.

Where's the donkey?

Guangkun thought he was seeing things, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed that the donkey had been stolen.

The door to the donkey shed was open, and so was the main gate.

"Old woman, come quick, come quick! Our donkey is missing!!"

Guangkun shouted.

They began searching the yard.

"Where's the donkey?"

Guangkun searched them one by one.

"Old man, what are you doing lifting up the wardrobe? Do you think you can run inside?"

"I was so flustered I lost my mind."

Guangkun scratched his head, "The donkey thief couldn't have gone far, at most to town!"

then.

Guangkun mobilized Yongqiang, Xielan, Pi Changshan, and Zhao Jinfeng to search in the next village and the village after that.

The whole morning was wasted.

Yongqiang was smart; when he got to the town, he went to the police station to report the crime.

These days, theft is rampant, with numerous cases of sheep and cattle being stolen.

There are no surveillance cameras on the village roads, so it's very difficult to find out.

The office made a brief note and told Yongqiang to go back and wait for news.

In other words, it can't be found.

12 o'clock noon.

The entire Xie family returned home exhausted.

Forget about donkeys, we couldn't even find a single donkey hair.

"My donkey!!"

Guangkun sat on the ground in the courtyard, heartbroken.

This donkey and Guangkun went to collect mountain goods together, braving wind and rain, and developed a deep bond.

"Dad, if we really can't find a donkey, we can just buy another one."

Yongqiang said.

"Easy for you to say. Doesn't it cost money? That donkey was your benefactor."

"benefactor?"

Yongqiang is confused.

After Guangkun explained, Yongqiang understood that the tuition fees for university were all earned by Guangkun driving this donkey to collect mountain goods.

"Dad, is there any witness to that thief coming in and out of our village?"

Pi Changshan pondered and asked.

With witnesses, the police station can solve cases more quickly.

“I’ll go to the village office to find Changgui and ask him to announce it over the loudspeaker.”

Guangkun nodded.

Not a moment.

Guangkun had just arrived at the village office entrance.

The aroma of meat filled the air, making one's mouth water.

A black Mercedes SUV was parked in front of the village office; it belonged to Xu Hui.

It looks like Xu Hui is having lunch at the village office.

I'm preparing to finalize the investment these next few days, so I'll need to come over frequently.

Guangkun walked into the village office courtyard.

moment.

He almost fainted. He saw a large pot set up in the yard, with firewood burning brightly underneath.
