Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 92 Rumors, Jealousy, and the Contractor’s First Small Step
At noon that day, the news that the Song family bought a homestead for their second house and wanted to build a new house spread throughout the Qingsongwan brigade as if it had grown wings.

No one expected that the second wife of the Song family was so rich.

Most of the houses being built these days are adobe houses. Those who can afford to build red brick houses are the rich.

Initially, everyone thought that this house was to be renovated by the brigade leader’s family.

The result really surprised everyone.

Some people even immediately began to suspect that the Song family's money came from improper sources.

Everyone is farming, why does your family have the money to build a red brick house?
However, seeing the captain's son and daughter helping at the scene, everyone wisely kept their mouths shut.

You don't care how people get their money. Everyone in the captain's family is helping, so you can't let people still know what's going on, right?

Some people even said that the Song family might have borrowed money from the captain's family.

What's even more outrageous is that there are even rumors that the Song family and the Qin family are getting married.

The second son of the Song family wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

In the afternoon, before going to work, the news started to spread.

After all, everyone saw that the Qin siblings were helping, and the tractors on the brigade were also lent to the Song family.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the logic at all.

Seeing the rumors getting worse, Song Shouyi finally stood up and explained.

It said that all the money was earned by Song Chaoyang's translator.

Kong Zhiqing and Cao Zhiqing from the Educated Youth Point can testify.

Translation is a new thing.

It is for foreign ghost characters to be transformed into domestic square characters.

That's what those villain translators do in the movies.

But can the job of a villain be so profitable?
Everyone feels it's a bit nonsense.

Then Kong Yun and Cao Wei were found by Murakami's meddlesome people and asked about the truth.

After hearing their own admission, everyone finally understood.

It turns out that translation is really profitable.

Just one day's work with a pen can equal a month's work in the fields!

Just this moment made many people in the team regret it.

If I had known that I could make so much money, why would I have to study in the first place?
Others who have students studying at home are told by their families to quickly learn about translation.

As a result, those who only had two days to study went to Song Chaoyang's home and the educated youth center for advice.

The answer is obvious.

Any article priced at 70 cents will make everyone who reads it scratch their heads.

I discovered that not everyone can do this job.

The difficulty is too high.

Wait until the news gets out.

The matter has come to an end.

At this point, no one is jealous that the Song family can make money.

Of course there are still people who can't figure it out.

For example, the old man and lady of the Song family next door, and the Dafang family.

Mrs. Jia said loudly at home:

"How long has it been since they separated their families and they have money to build a new house?"

"I think they have been planning for a long time and have been saving their personal money!"

The old man Song Xiaoren banged his cigarette rod on the table and cursed:

"I asked why the second brother suddenly said we were separated. It turned out that he was waiting here. Why did I raise such a white-eyed wolf!"

"I usually look honest and kind, but I didn't expect that she was more calculating than anyone else."

"How can a person like Song Chaoyang earn so much money? God is so blind!" The uncle jumped angrily. Seeing Song Chaoyang's house being repaired, he was almost drowning in jealousy.

It was even more uncomfortable for him than when the Song Chaoyang brothers picked up a wild boar before.

It feels like my luck has been stolen.

Otherwise, my life has always been going smoothly, why did my life suddenly become like this?

Only the eldest aunt remained calm.

Because she thought of her son Song Chaofei who was admitted to college!

The guy next door, Song Chaoyang, can build a new house through a translator, so why can't my son, who is ranked number one in the county, not be able to do it?
That definitely works!

So she immediately told the man what she thought.

After Song Shoujin heard it, he immediately reacted and fell into ecstasy!
Yes, that brat Song Chaoyang can do it, but can’t his own son do it?

My son ranks first in the county.

In comparison, Song Chaoyang is nothing!
So he immediately prepared to write a letter to his son Song Chaofei who was in college.

Tell him about this huge opportunity to get rich.

Song Chaoyang can earn enough money for one house, but his son can earn three or four houses, right?

Yeah!
Definitely.

My son is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the county!
Uncle Song Shoujin immediately got rid of his jealous state and felt a strong sense of superiority in his heart.

Wait!
It won't be long before his son comes back with a lot of money and slaps his second wife hard on the face!

By then, their family will not only have to build a red brick house, but also a building, and even the pigsty will need to be rebuilt with red bricks.

I envy others to death!
After learning about Song Shoujin's plan, Mrs. Jia and the old man also became excited.

Mrs. Jia immediately said:

"Yes, as long as Chao Fei starts translating to make money, everyone in our family won't have to work anymore!"

"That guy Song Chaoyang can do as much work as someone else in a month in one day, so what Chao Fei earns as a translator in one day is as much as someone else in a year."

"I can just work casually for three to five days. Our family will not have to worry about food and drink, and we can also build a new house."

Suddenly they came out of their jealousy and anger and fell into some kind of ecstasy.

It was as if they had seen a mountain of gold placed in front of them, just waiting for them to get it and squander it.

They had no idea that Song Chaofei didn't study English seriously at all.

He wasn't interested in this kind of subject that wasn't used in exams.

I never studied seriously. …

In the afternoon, the eldest brother-in-law Liu Yong came again.

Just like in the precognitive dream, he found someone.

But it was a lot more than expected.

We originally expected 20 people, but in the end, more than 30 and nearly 40 people stayed.

He came here to tell Song Chaoyang the news.

"This is the situation now. I have reduced my daily salary from 8 cents to 4 cents, but there are still so many people willing to come."

"They said it's a good deal as long as it includes food."

"I thought about it, and I should come over and talk to you first."

"You can make some food, as long as you can eat enough. Then I can urge everyone to cook faster and save you some money."

Brother-in-law Liu Yong faced the news reported by Song Chaoyang with a worried look on his face.

He was afraid of seeing unpleasantness on Song Chaoyang's face.

This was the first thing that his brother-in-law asked him to do, but he ended up doing this.

But he didn't expect that Song Chaoyang would be very calm after hearing the news, and even said to him with a smile:
"It's okay, brother-in-law, plans can't keep up with changes."

"Since so many people are willing to work with you, it means that everyone trusts you very much, which is a good thing."

"Of course, our family is building a house, and thirty or forty people are really a lot."

Hearing Song Chaoyang's last words, the brother-in-law looked a little embarrassed.

Then Song Chaoyang changed the topic and said:
"But if you let them come together, I can find something else for them to do."

"Something else?" Liu Yong was a little curious.

Song Chaoyang nodded and said:
"Well, it's not convenient for me to tell you about this yet, but you don't have to worry about it. I will definitely make arrangements when you bring people here tomorrow."

In his precognitive dream last night, Song Chaoyang already knew that the archaeological team planned to build a temporary site in the village.

Now, many people from the production team have been involved in the transportation. In order to ensure the work of the team, it is actually impossible to allocate extra people to participate in the construction.

And the extra people in Song Chaoyang's hands can just solve this problem in the brigade.

Just negotiate the price.

You can take care of this project yourself.

"What do you do?" Brother-in-law asked curiously.

Song Chaoyang said mysteriously:
"Of course it's still about repairing the house."

After saying that, he patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, can I still lie to you?"

Liu Yong smiled and waved his hand:
"No, no, of course I know. You will definitely not lie to me."

"Then I'll call you over early tomorrow morning!"

Song Chaoyang nodded:

"Well, okay."

Then he reminded:

"Our dad has chosen the time. We will start work at ten o'clock tomorrow!"

Brother-in-law should arrive:

"Okay! I will be there on time!"

After seeing off his brother-in-law, Song Chaoyang was ready to find the captain Qin Wanshan.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qin Wanshan already getting on the tractor.

It looked like he was getting ready to go out.

No need to guess, he must be going to the commune.

In the precognitive dream, Song Chaoyang had already known that Qin Wanshan planned to take the opportunity to bump into Wang Liang's cousin in the commune.

Take this opportunity to attract the attention of the leaders above.

It was equivalent to Song Chaoyang giving him this opportunity.

Seeing Song Chaoyang calling him, Qin Wanshan stopped the tractor.

When facing Qin Wanshan, Song Chaoyang did not go around and asked directly about the archaeological team. After confirming that they had indeed asked the village to help repair the house, he revealed his plan.

There are not enough people in the village, so Song Chaoyang can provide help from outside villagers, and then he and Qin Wanshan will share the money given by the archaeological team.

Yes, it was with Qin Wanshan.

It has nothing to do with the team.

Because the people in the brigade were unable to take over, naturally the people who could take over would take over.

However, Song Chaoyang did not intend to keep the money alone.

Qin Wanshan must be given the benefits he deserves.

It was also the first time for Qin Wanshan to experience this kind of thing, but his mind moved quickly.

In less than a moment, I already understood what Song Chaoyang meant.

Song Chaoyang wants to contract work.

Song Chaoyang can solve the problems of the brigade, and after solving the problems, he will also give benefits to himself, the brigade leader.

The rules don't seem to say it's not allowed.

If it doesn’t say it’s not allowed, then it’s okay.

Qin Wanshan was not a rigid person, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

I just told Song Chaoyang to be stricter when the time comes.

The person who helped fix things was someone found by the brigade and had nothing to do with either of them.

Of course Song Chaoyang knew what this meant.

He nodded to reassure Qin Wanshan.

After the two of them discussed it, Qin Wanshan got on the tractor and headed towards the commune.

And Song Chaoyang also got the first small project in public hands.

It's a small step for the contractor, and it's a step forward.
