The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 171 - 170: One Surprise After Another

Speaking of it, Wang Lianqi is a man of action. By the end of the year, he had already found most of the people he needed. During the New Year, he visited relatives and friends, and heard about several families building houses. After getting in touch, he only found two households hiring workers—one building three rooms, and the other five. Most people used relatives and townsfolk, only the main bricklayers and carpenters were from Wang Lianqi.

With so few people, Wang Lianqi didn’t earn much money. He even doubted whether building houses for others was reliable. Unexpectedly, things turned around. The commune’s elementary school needed to expand. Wang Lianqi rushed over and unexpectedly got the job.

Wang Lianfa, talking about it, was overjoyed, more excited than if he had earned a big sum of money himself.

Since childhood, his big brother had been the one to protect him, steady and thorough in his dealings... he was someone he admired and learned from.

As a result, because he had to hide away with his wife to have a child, he accidentally got into business, while his brother could only stay home taking care of their parents and the family’s fields, working hard... even so, his brother never complained, not a word. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But when his brother confidently and eagerly hired people to do big things, in half a year, he only got two small projects, with not many people needed, and the pay wasn’t much. The people his brother hired were starting to disperse...

During that time, he saw his brother a few times, who looked really anxious and discouraged, which he had never seen before. His brother, so haggard, thin, even somewhat aged, it made one feel heartbroken.

He almost wanted to pull his brother into doing small business with him.

Luckily, luckily his brother made the right choice, persisted, and finally got his first big project.

Elementary school expansion: two full rows of classrooms and offices, over twenty rooms, and a courtyard wall... the budget was reportedly over a hundred thousand, and after getting the project, the commune already allotted a prepayment of fifty thousand.

With this fifty thousand yuan, his brother could not only gather the people again, but also purchase all the necessary equipment.

Wang Liansheng listened quietly to the second eldest brother finish speaking and said, "Big brother just started; I think there’s no need to invest too much in purchasing equipment right away. I found out the county construction company happens to have some idle construction equipment. Your big brother should call and ask to lease them for use. After completing this project, with the project funds settled, any extra money can slowly be used for purchasing."

Wang Lianfa, being shrewd, having done small business for over a year, had interacted with all kinds of people and was thinking even quicker now. Once he heard what Wang Liansheng said, how could he not understand?

On the county construction company’s side, the fourth brother definitely helped with the message. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so clear and certain.

Further thinking, perhaps even the fact that his big brother got the elementary school project, the fourth brother had helped too.

Wang Lianfa felt grateful but didn’t say it. These words should be told to his big brother, so he can speak with the fourth brother himself.

"Ah, tomorrow... I’ll just go back and have a good talk with big brother." Wang Lianfa said, acting immediately, and stood up to leave.

Wang Liansheng pulled him back and pushed him down into the seat again: "It’s almost 9 o’clock, you’ll ride your bike over a hundred miles home in the night, if the alcohol kicks in on the way, what if you fall into a ditch and no one knows... Big brother isn’t in a hurry for one night, tomorrow morning you can call or just go back, it’s up to you."

Wang Lianfa waved with a cheerful tone: "I’m not drunk. It’s just a little alcohol, at most four liang, you don’t know your brother’s capacity. Even with eight liang of old white spirit, I can still ride home."

Wang Liansheng was both amused and helpless, poured a cup of tea and handed it to his brother, saying: "Yes, yes, your capacity is the best, among us brothers, mine is the worst."

Ling Chengyan watched the brothers drink and chat, boasting, and self-deprecating, both obviously a bit tipsy. However, Wang Liansheng remained conscious while Wang Lianfa was getting a little high, his tongue was even a bit tied.

She got up, cleared away the leftovers, and Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing came to help.

Ling Chengyan signaled with her eyes and Wang Liansheng followed her out.

"Make sure to tell big brother clearly, building a house is not a game, it’s crucial to watch closely. In terms of materials and construction, not the slightest mistake can be tolerated."

Wang Liansheng maintained a serious face, nodding and whispering: "I will talk to big brother. Besides, you know big brother’s temperament, he’s the most sincere and steady person, there won’t be any quality issues."

Ling Chengyan looked at him: "It’s not that I distrust big brother’s character, but because there are plenty of crafty loopholes in construction, tell him to stay alert, not let anyone tamper with things, or be cheated into using unqualified materials."

Wang Liansheng’s expression became two degrees more solemn: Wang Lianqi indeed possessed good character and was steady, wouldn’t cut corners, but just because he wouldn’t doesn’t mean others wouldn’t take advantage of him or even deceive him.

In terms of shrewdness and cleverness, big brother was quite short compared to the second brother. His wife reminded him, and he indeed overlooked this point.

At this thought, Wang Liansheng felt a chill down his spine, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The next morning, bright and early, Ling Chengyan took the little ones to the playground for morning exercise. As soon as she arrived, she saw Lian Changjiang Yuntong and instructor Wu Yushu walking towards her.

Ling Chengyan waved, letting the kids go off to exercise while she walked forward to meet the company commander and instructor.

None of them were ones for beating around the bush. Upon meeting, the company commander asked how her trip went, to which Ling Chengyan replied it went well.

As for the little incident in the grasslands, she didn’t mention it.

Going on a long trip, as soon as you leave, it’s several days or even over a dozen, there’s usually something that happens, it’s just a difference of big or small. If you wanted to talk about it, you could go on for three days and nights without finishing.

"Do the two leaders have any instructions or tasks?" Ling Chengyan got straight to the point, as always.

Wu Yushu looked back at Jiang Yuntong and laughed: "Vice Company Commander Ling really is straightforward and decisive. So, our district..."

He explained the matter of setting up a Special Service Company in the district.

Jiang Yuntong, the Company Commander, even showed a rare smile and said: "The leaders specially emphasized that no grassroots units should withhold their best combat power and skills. All the top-notch ones should be reported for selection. You’ve been in district-wide competitions and won championships, with such achievements... even if we wanted to hide it, we couldn’t."

Ling Chengyan understood and directly asked: "When does the selection start?"

Jiang Yuntong and Wu Yushu exchanged a look, then Jiang the company commander said: "Tomorrow."

Ling Chengyan stood at attention and saluted: "Rest assured, Company Commander and Instructor, we will do our best and won’t disgrace the Automobile Company."

After running the trip to the grasslands, coming back to find two big things waiting was indeed a bit unexpected for Ling Chengyan.

Then, something even more surprising occurred, just half a day later.
