Chapter 129 Asking questions
Wang Wanru looked at Huang Juan and saw that the girl was pretty.
Then he smiled and said, "This girl is really pretty. Her big eyes seem to be able to speak. You brothers are the luckiest in our team. You all have such beautiful wives."
Huang Juan felt a little embarrassed by Wang Wanru's praise.
"Please sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready." Wang Wanru said to everyone and left the private room.
"Sister-in-law, this is my girlfriend, Huang Juan. She's from the Changxing Brigade next door." Li Youjie introduced Huang Juan to Chu Xinyan.
"Hello, Huang Juan."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Huang Juan looked well-behaved and greeted Chu Xinyan.
After they sat down, Li Youcai handed the menu to Huang Juan and asked her what she wanted to eat and how many dishes she wanted to order. However, Huang Juan kept making excuses, saying, "I'm not picky about food. Anything is fine with me."
Because I still had to work in the afternoon, I didn't drink.
Everyone was eating.
Li Youcai didn't know much about Huang Juan's situation.
Normally, Li Youcai wouldn't bother asking, but now that Li Youjie has brought the person here, he, as his brother, has no choice but to ask.
"I heard from Youjie that you two were classmates?" Li Youcai asked the simplest question to open the situation.
"Yes, we were classmates for a few years, but then I failed to get into high school, so I left." Huang Juan looked at Li Youcai and replied.
"Changxing Brigade is pretty good. I heard they harvested quite a bit of grain last year. How are your parents doing?"
"Everything is fine. The team has just finished planting rice seedlings. My father is the production team leader, so the work is a bit easier." Huang Juan said this without showing any embarrassment.
Li Youcai asked several more questions.
As a result, before Huang Juan got anxious, the brat Li Youjie got anxious first.
"Hey brother, you're asking all sorts of questions when it comes to eating, and you're not even telling us to eat yet. The food will get cold soon."
Li Youcai curled his lips helplessly.
"See? I'll protect it first."
"Isn't it all for you that I'm asking this? It's been so long, and you haven't told our family yet. If I don't understand a little bit now, how am I going to tell Dad when I get home?"
"It's okay, brother, just ask whatever you want to ask, don't worry about him." Huang Juan smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"I won't ask any more. If I keep asking, this guy will say I'm a spy interrogating him. Let's eat our food."

Teng County Detention Center, inside the visiting room.
Qin Dali, wearing a prison uniform, was brought in by prison guards.
As soon as he entered, Qin Dali saw his former subordinate across from him and asked impatiently, "How is it? Did you find the dagger?"
The two criminal police officers who came to see Qin Dali shook their heads sadly.
"Captain Qin, the bounty has been out for a long time. We've searched for a lot of daggers, but we haven't found the one you mentioned. None of them have the trafficker's fingerprints."
"That's impossible! How could it just disappear out of nowhere?"
Qin Dali was almost going crazy because the dagger could not be found and no one could prove that the human trafficker resisted arrest with a knife. However, he actually threw the human trafficker onto the railway and killed him.
"Captain Qin, we really tried our best."
"The trafficker's family is making a big fuss right now. They've even filed a complaint with the city government. It's having a very negative impact."
"The court is preparing to file a lawsuit against you for manslaughter. The situation may not be good."
not too good.
This is more than just not good.
When Qin Dali heard these words, he felt like a deflated ball, slumping weakly on the stool.
He had been a policeman for so many years, arrested many criminals, and solved many cases, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would have to wear a prison uniform.
Fate played a big joke on him.
"Captain Qin, I'm sorry."
"You haven't wronged me, I'm just unlucky. You still come to see me at this time and tell me these things, which is already a violation of organizational discipline. Go back."
Qin Dali tried to support himself and stand up from the stool, but he felt as if a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds was pressing down on him.
Qin Dali almost fell down with his arms on both sides of the chair, as one of him lost his balance.
"Captain Qin!" Seeing Qin Dali like this, the two criminal police officers had red eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I am fine."
"I'm fine, you guys go. Go back and do your work, don't let my affairs affect you."
Qin Dali took a deep breath, and his limp body finally regained some control.
Then he stood up and walked to the back.
Soon, the procuratorate filed a lawsuit against Qin Dali for causing death.
At night, Li Youjie rode his bicycle to take Huang Juan back to Changxing Brigade.
Huang Juan spent a day at the market and witnessed its booming business.
Especially the merchants selling goods in the stalls, Huang Juan watched them stuff handfuls of money into their pockets.
I thought of my second brother, who went to the county town alone and looked for a job in order to get married.
Huang Juan felt that perhaps their family should change its mindset.
"Youjie, how much does it cost to rent a stall in your market for a year?" Huang Juan asked tentatively.
"The prices vary depending on the location of the stalls in the market. The cheaper ones are 380 yuan a year, and the ones in good locations are 450 yuan a year." Li Youjie didn't think too much about it and answered directly and truthfully.
So expensive!
Huang Juan felt a little depressed when she heard such a number.
Their family definitely can't come up with so much money.
"It's so expensive." Huang Juan felt a little disappointed.
"This is not expensive anymore. My brother said that we are in the early stages of the market opening, so the price is lower. The price will go up again next year." Li Youjie did not notice the change in Huang Juan's expression, and he was still a little proud when he spoke.
Huang Juan asked again: "Can you rent it month by month?"
"That won't work. The minimum requirement is to pay half a year's rent at once."
It was only then that Li Youjie noticed that Huang Juan had been asking about renting a stall. He turned to look at Huang Juan and asked, "Why do you keep asking about the stall?"
Huang Juan suddenly thought of letting her eldest brother rent a stall to do business, and she had not yet told her family about it.
Huang Juan didn't want Li Youjie to think she was trying to take advantage of her, so she said, "It's okay, I'm just asking."
"I'm home, you can go back now."
"Then I'll come see you again tomorrow night." Li Youjie pushed the car and left angrily.
Huang Juan watched Li Youjie leave and returned home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my second brother, covered in cement dust, squatting at the foot of the wall.
"What's going on?"
"Hey... When your second brother was carrying cement for someone in the county town, Zhou Yan's mother saw him. She thought he was embarrassing, so she asked your second brother to brag to Zhou Yan." The mother explained to Huang Juan angrily.
I was originally still hesitating whether to raise the stall, but now it seems there is no better way.
"Mom, second brother. I went to the newly opened market in the county today. There are many merchants there, selling all kinds of things. How about we think of a way to rent a stall and let second brother do business?" Huang Juan said tentatively.
"I know that market. It's packed. I heard the rent for a stall there is several hundred dollars a year. How can my family afford that? Besides, even if I rent it, what kind of business can I do? It's all nonsense."
"If you have nothing to do, go back to your room and don't bother me here."
Huang Hu was already in a bad mood, and when he heard Huang Juan's suggestion, he said with displeasure on his face.
Huang Juan pouted and said, "If others can do it, why can't we? The owner of that market is Li Youjie's eldest brother. If they can do it in such a big market, what are you afraid of by setting up a stall?"
"You're so scared of wolves in front and tigers behind. You deserve to be unmarried! I don't need to care about you!"
"If you don't get married, I can't even bring a partner home. I'm giving you advice, and you're blaming me. You're really ungrateful!"
