Chapter 222 The Psychology of Jealousy
Hearing Su Wanwan's confident thoughts, the village chief Su Yang was slow to respond.
"Where did you get two or three hundred dollars?"
Although he always knew that his daughter was much better than other young people, two or three hundred yuan was a large sum of money after all. Young people working in ordinary production teams could only earn 20 or 30 yuan a month. Apart from living expenses, they could hardly save much money in a month. Families with a savings of 30 or 50 yuan were considered wealthy, and there were only a few of them in a village.
What's more, you only have to take out two or three hundred dollars at a time.
"Dad, have you forgotten the rules of our family? My eldest brother and third brother have to give their salaries to mom, but you and mom have never asked me for my salary. I make a lot of money at the radio station. If I save it for a few months, plus what I saved before and what I earned from painting big-character posters, isn't that enough?"
Since she took the initiative to come to her father Su Yang to make this suggestion, Su Wanwan had already thought of what to say.
"Is this what you and Xu Yan think?" Father Su Yang still frowned and didn't even smoke a cigarette.
"Yes, Dad, don't you know that Xu Yan and I have a very good relationship?" Su Wanwan did not avoid the relationship between her and Xu Yan, but answered with a smile.
"Don't worry, once this factory is set up, whether it's raw materials or sales, it's up to Xu Yan and I. As long as you agree and grant us a piece of land, I guarantee that our incense factory will be prosperous!"
Towards evening, under the repeated urging of Zhong Qingqing, Fang Jili quietly returned home, secretly took out a sickle and a discarded pickaxe from the storehouse at home, bypassed the main street of the village again, and slipped back to the clinic.
"Are we really going to go up the mountain now? Without thinking it over?" Fang Jili's heart was beating fast, and he looked hesitant.
Zhong Qingqing made up her mind. After taking the sickle from Fang Jili, she turned around and locked the door of the clinic. She tightened her coat and walked towards the mountains against the wind.
"It's not too late now. Let's go up the mountain first to check out the situation, and then we can make a better plan. Let's go quickly, the sun is almost setting." Zhong Qingqing's voice was so gentle that Fang Jili, who was originally timid, forced himself to follow her into the mountains.
The two figures quickly disappeared at the entrance to the mountain.
Since she had no experience in mountains before, Zhong Qingqing quickly reached the end of the path leading into the mountains and didn't know where to go next.
Looking up, although there were patches of yellow and green woods all around her, she could only tell the general direction, and had no idea which direction to go to find the beast faster.
"Let's go into the mountains. There shouldn't be many wild rabbits here at the foot of the mountain." Fang Jili behind him reminded at the right time.
Zhong Qingqing had no idea what was going on, so after Fang Jili reminded her, she immediately raised her legs and walked deeper into the mountains.
As dusk fell, when the two were almost halfway up the mountain, Zhong Qingqing kept blowing air into her hands, shivering slightly from the cold, but still did not see any trace of the beast.
"Why don't we go back? You're so cold, and the sun is about to set. It'll be easy to get hurt without some light." Fang Jili, who was walking forward with his head down behind Zhong Qingqing, was a little hesitant.
"Just now it was you who asked me to walk into the mountains. Now that we've come here, you suddenly want to go back. Wouldn't that mean our trip was in vain?" Zhong Qingqing was naturally unwilling to accept this.
She had finally convinced Fang Jili to go up the mountain with her to look for prey, but they got nothing and went back like that. She was afraid that Fang Jili would not be willing to go up the mountain with her next time. Moreover, how come Su Wanwan and Xu Yan could easily hunt prey as big as wild boars before, but she couldn't even find a rabbit?
Something must have gone wrong.
With a jealousy that she herself was not aware of, Zhong Qingqing continued to walk into the mountain without stopping: "Don't worry, I thought of this before I came out. I brought a flashlight."
Although Fang Jili put forward his own suggestions, since Zhong Qingqing decided to move forward, he naturally would not go back alone.
The two walked into the mountain one after the other for more than ten minutes, until the sky around them was almost completely dark. Zhong Qingqing then vaguely saw a moving shadow in the grass in front of them.
"There seems to be a rabbit!" Surprised, Zhong Qingqing quickly stretched out her hand and pointed at the moving shadow in front of her. She leaned forward with her upper body and moved quickly, trying to catch up with the moving shadow.
However, she had just run a few steps forward when the shadow seemed to have noticed it and quickly disappeared among the grass.
When Zhong Qingqing walked to the place where the shadow appeared, there was nothing there.
"That rabbit runs quite fast!" Zhong Qingqing clenched the sickle in her hand, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up with joy.
If only she had discovered this way to make money earlier!
Then you wouldn't have to endure the contempt of so many people in the village just for making a little money!
But it’s not too late to find out now. It’s better than not being able to pay back the money she owes to others until the end of her life as an educated youth!
As long as she could kill a few wild beasts and sell them successfully, she might be able to save a lot of money, not to mention buying teaching materials!
Every time she thought of this, Zhong Qingqing couldn't help but squeeze the handle of the sickle again.
"Did you see it? I told you there must be wild animals in the mountains! Let's go ahead and look for them!" As she said that, Zhong Qingqing turned on the flashlight she brought with her, and wanted to continue walking deeper into the mountains with Fang Jili.
"But the rabbit jumps too fast. We may not be able to catch it with the tools we have." Fang Jili thought thoughtfully, "Maybe we need a net to catch this thing?"
Zhong Qingqing also closed her eyes and thought about it.
However, she had very little experience in this area, and couldn't think of any better props for a while. As the two of them walked forward in deep thought, suddenly, a rustling sound came again from a dark corner not far away.
Zhong Qingqing had experience, so this time she chose to chase forward with her back crouched, for fear of scaring the rabbit in front of her again.
Just when she was almost holding her breath and about to catch a small black shadow in front of her, suddenly, the small black shadow kicked its hind legs violently and disappeared from Zhong Qingqing's sight in an instant, giving her a big scare.
"Ah!!" Screams instantly spread across the mountains.
When Fang Jili, who was behind Zhong Qingqing, tried to grab her, Zhong Qingqing's whole body fell forward uncontrollably.
"Are you OK?"
When Fang Jili rushed forward, Zhong Qingqing had already fallen face down on the cold ground in a mess, and felt a familiar pain in her ankle.
"I..." Zhong Qingqing, whose entire body was lying on the ground, was frightened by the sudden shock and fell to the ground. Then, her whole body was enveloped by severe numbness and pain.
