Chapter 317: Chapter 316

“Hey, Big Brother, Second Brother, why are you here? Are you here to the provincial capital with a vehicle?” Ling Chengyan has been busy and hasn’t been home for two months. Seeing her two brothers suddenly made her very happy, and she quickly greeted the gate guard, wanting to take the brothers to her dormitory.

Ling Family’s Second Brother, however, stopped their little sister: “We know there are rules here about not letting people in casually, so don’t bother. Big Brother just ordered food at the restaurant, let’s go eat out. It’s not far, just across the street.”

Ling Family’s Big Brother then said, “Can you come out?”

Ling Chengyan nodded with a smile, told the guard on duty with a soldier, and then left the camp with her two brothers, heading towards a small restaurant not far away.

When the three siblings arrived, the small private room already had food set up: roasted pigeon soup, roasted carp, mixed stew noodles—all Ling Chengyan’s favorites.

Big Brother served her a bowl of mixed stew noodles while chattering: “Eat more; how come you look thinner again? You can’t get any skinnier, or you won’t look good.”

Ling Chengyan smiled and touched her cheek: “I’m not really thinner, just been outside a lot recently, got a bit tanned.”

After the meal, Ling Chengyan learned that her brothers’ visit was mainly to see their little sister and secondly to investigate the market and contact clients, since Big Brother said: “…the team disbanded. Second Brother and I decided to buy two trucks to transport goods for people.”

With that said, Ling Chengyan knew they had quit their jobs and were planning to start their own business.

Ling Chengyan didn’t feel bad about it, but just asked: “What did Dad say?”

Big Brother looked at the Second Brother, feeling a bit emotional: “Luckily, Dad supports this.”

Second Brother added, “Originally, we thought of buying one truck, but Dad said if we’re going to do it, we shouldn’t hold back, just go for it. Brother-in-law also helped connect us with the credit union for a loan, otherwise, we wouldn’t afford two trucks.”

Ling Chengyan laughed: “Since you made up your mind, work hard at it. Nowadays, doing your own business is more promising than working a job.”

Meanwhile, Big Brother went to the restroom, leaving just Second Brother and Ling Chengyan.

Ling Chengyan didn’t beat around the bush and quickly found out the reason from Second Brother.

A month ago, Big Brother drove out and halfway met someone stopping the car, transporting with a handcart. On the cart was a person covered with a quilt, and the man said his wife was in labor and having difficulties, needed to rush to the hospital to save her life. Big Brother saw the honest appearance of the man and a mess of long hair exposed under the blanket, did look like a woman, so he stopped the car to prepare to let them on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out, just before reaching the handcart, the person on the cart suddenly jumped up and lunged onto the front of his car…

He was dragged to the police station and told the woman was hit and injured in many places, with fractures on her arm and ribs.

His unit didn’t listen to his explanation, suspended his job, asked him to reflect at home, write an account, and even recorded a demerit in his file.

Ling Family’s Second Brother was indignant, jumped up wanting to confront the extortionists, but was stopped by his wife and sister-in-law.

Those people had planned it long ago, even the injuries were real, and at the scene, Big Brother was alone, helplessly unable to argue!

Ling Chengyan listened to Second Brother’s detailed account, but her mind was calculating. Yet she didn’t say much, just kept her suspicions to herself.

Big Brother just returned at this moment, and Ling Chengyan switched to another topic, smilingly asking how their business connections were going.

Big Brother smiled sincerely: “There’s some work in Huicheng, thanks to brother-in-law’s introduction, transporting goods for a food processing plant and two other factories, but Second Brother and I think we can’t always rely on you. Besides, you’re moving to the provincial capital soon, and Dad is worried, so he thought we should come to the provincial capital to pull some jobs, so we can run to the provincial capital often. If you have something, we won’t be in the dark.”

Ling Chengyan laughed: “Thanks to Dad and Brothers.”

Whenever Dad and Brothers face difficulties, they try not to bother her, handling things before informing her, yet still keep her in their thoughts at the provincial capital… This made Ling Chengyan confirm again that when Ling Family migrated to Jiang Province, the situation must have been extremely critical. The entire family was fleeing for their lives, or else wouldn’t have left their homeland for over ten years.

Transporting goods is something Ling Chengyan had encountered in Automobile Company, but both brothers learned driving at Auto Company and had travelled with trucks many times, learning what they needed to learn. Ling Chengyan truly had not much to offer in help.

After eating, Ling Chengyan wanted to give her apartment keys to them to rest, but the brothers simultaneously refused.

Big Brother said, “No need, tomorrow early morning we plan to visit the suburban distribution center, so we won’t go to your place. We’ve already found a hotel.”

As the market opened up, many private small hotels emerged, offering cheap and good service. The two men carried no valuable goods, staying in a small hotel was no fear.

The brothers left the food and supplies they brought for Ling Chengyan, waved goodbye, and left.

Ling Chengyan carried two big bags, watching her brothers’ cheerful backs, smiled helplessly and shook her head.

The luggage they carried was food and supplies for her; apart from a shoulder bag, they really didn’t have much.

Ling Family’s Big Brother and Second Brother stayed in the provincial capital for three days before returning. Before leaving, they said goodbye to their sister, happily telling Ling Chengyan that on their way to the distribution center, they unexpectedly befriended someone from the railway who turned out to be in charge of freight cars.

Second Brother chuckled happily: “With this connection, we don’t worry about not having cargo.”

Ling Chengyan was glad for her brothers, giving them more dishes but advised: “You must pay attention to boundaries, don’t cross the line.”

Big Brother bit into a bun, nodded affirmatively: “Don’t worry.”

Second Brother added: “Speaking of which, we’re not really unfamiliar with that person, originally from a farm in Jiang Province, Dad and Big Brother once saved him.”

Ling Chengyan realized it was an old acquaintance, good, relying on emotion. Of course, she knew in this matter Big Brother and Second Brother wouldn’t act without making gestures, but as long as they hauled goods according to the rules and didn’t mess around, everyone would be fine.

Seeing off the two brothers, Ling Chengyan also knew about the reason for the false accusation against her brother, it turned out Big Brother saw others smuggling goods and was hated.

Ling Father and her two brothers had some old good courage and righteousness, slightly naive thoughts, always leaving room in dealing with people. Yet they didn’t know some people simply don’t deserve your leniency.

Big Bear stayed in Huicheng processing the inventory, Liu San and Dogzi had already arrived, and Ling Chengyan sent the two to quietly probe the situation.

Right before National Day, Little Apricot and Shi Tou first moved their school transfer procedures, Wang Liansheng brought the two kids to the provincial capital.

Coming along unexpectedly were Uncle’s wife and Uncle.
