Chapter 101 -101 Yue Jiandong’s Idea
After He Zhenzhen left with her daughter, Yue Qingqing hurriedly helped Yue Xingxing to her feet.
Yue Xingxing was still bawling when suddenly a candy was stuffed into her mouth.
So sweet!
Fearful that the candy would fall out, Yue Xingxing quickly clamped her mouth shut.
For a moment, she even forgot to cry, carefully savoring the taste instead.
Yue Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, reflecting that greedy children are indeed easier to appease.
...
She peeled a candy for herself as well and contentedly sucked on it.
Seeing this, Lin Chunju finally relaxed, went inside, and wrung out a cloth to wipe Yue Xingxing’s face clean.
Yue Qingqing asked Lin Chunju, “Grandma, what will happen to that person at the end?”
If Wang Jinshun was to be detained, it would be somewhat better, but if he was really released, she reckoned there might be further trouble ahead.
He would never reform.
“Grandma doesn’t know either.”
Although Lin Chunju had been more educated than most folks around, she still wasn’t very clear about legal matters.
But after delivering Wang Jinshun to the police station, the police gave them a brief explanation.
The incident didn’t seem to have caused any consequences, but the potential danger was substantial.
It was something called the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means, a serious offense.
If it had caused serious harm, it might have resulted in a death sentence.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinshun nearly fainted.
However, the police also told him that, luckily, since he hadn’t put the substance in at the end, he likely wouldn’t be executed.
In a way, the Yue family’s timely intervention had saved his life.
After hearing all this, Yue Qingqing nodded, only half-understanding. She too didn’t know much about the world and needed to start learning from scratch.
A verdict required time, and the Yue family soon put the incident out of their minds.
The Yue brothers used to hate Wang Jinshun to the bone.

But when he was actually locked up, they didn’t feel much turbulence, simply cursing that it served him right.
The rest was left to the law to handle.
Mainly because the Yue family was busy, very busy.
Wang Pengfei soon brought people for the second time to collect fish, this time arriving with two ox carts and hiring some hands specifically for transporting the goods.
Compared to the last time, Wang Pengfei’s attitude was much warmer, and he took out a pack of high-grade cigarettes to offer to Yue Jiandong.
Yue Jiandong smiled and waved his hand, “I don’t, I can’t smoke.”
The men in Daye Village nearly all smoked, typically the homemade tobacco of the village.
However, for the former Yue family, even the cheapest roll of tobacco was a luxury they couldn’t afford.
Therefore, none of the Yue brothers smoked.
Wang Pengfei put the cigarettes away, watching his people move the baskets of fish onto the carts.
“I heard the government is planning to build roads, at least to first level the main roads of the villages. Now, with trucks and lorries introduced by the state, it would be convenient if they could enter the village,” he said.
Yue Jiandong had once seen such vehicles by chance on his trip to the city; they had much larger capacity and faster speeds compared to ox carts and horse-drawn carriages.
He nodded in agreement, “If that’s really so, it would be very convenient. When the time comes, us three brothers will learn to drive. We will definitely need it later on.”
Wang Pengfei gave him a sidelong glance and casually remarked, “Yue brothers, you really have an active mind. Truck drivers in the future will surely earn a good income.”
But Yue Jiandong knew that no matter how much a truck driver earned, they certainly couldn’t compare to businessmen like Wang Pengfei.
With this thought, Yue Jiandong suddenly had an idea.
Previously, being a businessman was looked down upon, but now, with the economy loosened, many clever people were figuring out various ways to get rich.
Previously, the Yue family was poor, and Yue Jiandong only thought about how to increase the yield from their land so that his family could have enough to eat.
But now, as the money in his hands slowly increased, Yue Jiandong’s thoughts began to change.
Perhaps… he could also try his hand in this area?
