My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

Chapter 217: Expectations 1 Will Come True

After speeding on the asphalt road for half an hour, the jeep turned into a yellow mud country road.

Although it is a village road, the road surface is very wide and flat.

There are endless farmlands on both sides of the village road.

The rapeseed and wheat seedlings in the farmland are about two inches tall and tender green, which makes people feel relaxed and happy at the sight.

"We're almost at Xujiaba."

Li Deying stretched his neck to look at the scenery outside the car window while chatting with Chu Jie.

“The terrain here is really nice.”

"It's broad and flat, similar to the terrain of the Central Plains."

"It is precisely because the terrain here is wide and flat that the Jiangcheng government decided to build the South Railway Station here."

Chu Jie leaned against the car window, feeling the cold breeze and gazing into the distance.

“I don’t know what this place will look like in ten years.”

Lin Qingluo took over Chu Jie's words.

“It’s very busy.”

"There are tall buildings everywhere."

“They can be found everywhere, in factories, companies, shopping malls, and schools.”

Chu Jie withdrew her gaze and smiled at Lin Qingluo.

"I hope so."

"If Jiangcheng can be full of tall buildings, bustling with traffic, companies, factories, shopping malls and schools, it will prove that our Longguo economy is developing very well."

"As the economy takes off, the military strength of our Dragon Nation will also soar."

"With a strong enough military, our Dragon Nation will have a say in diplomacy, instead of being restricted by powerful countries like it is now."

"Will do."

"A few decades later, my aunt's wish will surely come true."

Yun Jiaojiao really wanted to tell Chu Jie, Li Deying, Xie Zhennan, Xiao Yanlin and Zhao Biao: In another thirty years, Dragon Country will become the second largest economy on this blue planet, and its military strength will shock the world.

Twenty minutes later.

The jeep stopped.

Xie Zhennan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the farm in front of him through the front windshield, then turned around to discuss with the people behind him.

"There's a farm ahead. Let's get off the bus and ask about the construction of the South Railway Station. And by the way, let's ask if anyone in this farm wants to sell land."

Following Xie Zhennan's suggestion, the group got out of the car and walked towards the farm not far ahead.

"Brother and sister-in-law, are you still human?"

"When you two got married, your parents used up half their life savings to build you a house."

"When the family property was divided, Mom and Dad were worried that you wouldn't be able to live well, so they gave you all the valuables in the house."

"Without the support of your parents, would your family be able to enjoy the prosperity it has today?"

"Now Dad is so sick that he is bedridden and needs money to be sent to the hospital for treatment. You are not willing to pay a penny. Are you still human?"

"Xu Dahai and his wife have gone too far. Uncle Xu Chun is bedridden, and not only do they not pay for his medical treatment, but they haven't even returned to the old house to see him since he fell ill."

"Fortunately, Qianqian is a filial child. She takes care of Uncle Xu Chun wholeheartedly every day. Without Qianqian's careful care, Uncle Xu Chun would have passed away long ago."

"So, the saying that having a son means someone will take care of you in your old age, but having a daughter means no one will take care of you is bullshit. It doesn't matter whether you have a son or a daughter. The key is filial piety."

When Xie Zhennan, Yun Jiaojiao and their group walked into the village, a group of men and women were gathered in front of a door, discussing something.

"Sister, daughter, there seems to be something going on over there, let's go take a look."

Lin Qingluo is a person who loves to join in the fun.

When she saw the excitement over there, she excitedly pulled Yun Jiaojiao and Qin Hanmei over without asking whether they were willing.

Worried that something might happen to the three women, Xie Zhennan and Xiao Yanlin hurriedly followed.

Zhao Biao consciously followed Li Deying and Chu Jie, and was responsible for their personal safety.

"Xu Qianqian, you feel sorry for that old man, so why don't you treat him?"

"Xu Dahai, if I had money, I would have sent Dad to the hospital long ago. I wouldn't have to run to your door to beg you."

"You have no money, who are you trying to fool?"

Lin Qingluo pulled Yun Jiaojiao and Qin Hanmei into the crowd and saw a couple in their early twenties arguing with a girl of eighteen or nineteen with their eyes wide open.

"Those two old fools left the most valuable treasure in their family to you as a dowry. Don't think I don't know."

"Xu Dahai, your ability to lie with your eyes open is getting better and better. Our family only has that little territory, and you've lived with my parents for twenty-one years. You must be unaware of all the treasures we have."

"If our family really had valuable treasures, you would have sold them long ago, and I wouldn't have had a chance to buy them."

"Even if your parents don't have a baby to leave you, you should still pay for their medical treatment. Your parents paid for your high school education, and you spent a lot of their money."

"All that money added together far exceeds what my parents spent on marrying me off."

"My parents spent a lot of money on my education. I know that when I start working and earn money, I will support them. But I don't have any money right now. Xu Dahai, if you are a human being, you can take out the money and use it for Dad's medical treatment. Consider it a loan from me, okay?"

"If I don't have money, I won't borrow it."

"Don't you still have a few acres of land at home? If you sell them, you'll have enough money to send that old man to the hospital for treatment."

Lin Qingluo's fists stiffened when she heard this.

Qin Hanmei also frowned.

"Sister, carrot, don't be impulsive."

Yun Jiaojiao reached out and gently patted their shoulders.

"It's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs, let alone we are not officials."

"Let's see what's going on first. If the brother and sister haven't fought and are just arguing, then we shouldn't get involved and let the village officials here resolve their conflict."

"If the brother and sister start fighting during their quarrel and there's a possibility of hurting someone, it won't be too late for us to intervene and stop them."

After Yun Jiaojiao said this, Lin Qingluo and Qin Hanmei finally calmed down.

"Xu Dahai, my parents only have a few acres of land left. If we sell them to pay for Dad's medical treatment, will they starve? Besides, all the good land that can grow crops has been given to you. The remaining acres of land are not fertile and have low yields. Looking at the entire Xujiaba area, who would be willing to spend money to buy such low-yielding land?"

"We've already split up. Whether those lands can be sold or not is not my business."

"Xu Dahai, you are a beast. I will fight you, a beast."

"Xu Qianqian, you actually dared to attack me at my doorstep. I gave you face, didn't I?"

The girl threw herself at the man with a look of despair.

The man raised his hand and slapped the girl fiercely.

"What kind of man are you if you hit a woman?"

Just as the man's hand was about to fall on the girl, a slender hand grabbed the man's wrist.

Yun Jiaojiao grabbed the man's wrist with one hand and pulled the girl behind her with the other hand, staring at the man fiercely.

The man was frightened by Yun Jiaojiao's sharp eyes and swallowed unconsciously.

“…You, who the hell are you?”
