Although he knew Song Jianhao had a habit of playing dirty and taking advantage, Yang Jian was still shocked by Yang Fan's analysis. If Song Jianhao was truly colluding with Chen Song, it was too shameless.
However, there was no way to verify such a thing, just like the time Si Xi was robbed. Everyone could only suspect, and the basis for suspicion was that Song Jianhao's wealth was abnormally high.
"Biao Biao, my body hasn't recovered, so I won't be going to Hancheng anytime soon. I'll help the family get the template factory up and running. If you don't want to work for Brother Hao, then go to Nanhai and help me find the whereabouts of Wu Laizi. If this person isn't dealt with, I'll feel like there's a thorn in my side."
"Okay, I have someone from our village working in Nanhai. I'll go there for a while. So, are we just letting Brother Hao's matter go?"
"What else can we do? We don't have any concrete evidence to say he's playing tricks. From now on, we'll just try to avoid dealing with him. Besides, he did help me make money. Earning over 700,000 yuan in two days is enough to buy all the equipment for the template factory. I should be grateful to him."
"The way you put it, it does seem right. Old Wu also made tens of thousands of yuan, so he shouldn't have any complaints either."
With that point made clear, Biao Biao also felt relieved. Yang Jian was indeed more open-minded than him.
Liang Liang asked, "Brother Jian, what about us two? Should I also go to Nanhai?"
Yang Jian smiled, "Don't you want to buy a car? You need to get your driver's license first."
"Right, right, right. I'm not going anywhere during this time. I'll just stay home and learn to drive."
"I'll learn to drive too, Liang Liang. Let's sign up together."
San Pang also had the desire to buy a car. He had earned twenty to thirty thousand yuan on Hongqi Street during this period, and he felt that buying a car was not far off. Moreover, having a car would give him more leverage when talking to a girlfriend.
"If San Pang is learning to drive in Chengguan, he can stay at my sister's place and help my brother-in-law look after the shop. I also have a task for you."
"That's great! I was planning to stay with my master for a while. What task is it?"
"Your task is to subtly inquire about Baoguo and Wu Laizi from your master."
"No problem. I'll be in Chengguan during this time, and I'll interact with him more. I'm sure I'll get some relevant information."
San Pang's role was very special. He was both Mao Ge's disciple and Yang Jian's childhood friend. San Pang had helped Mao Ge trick Yang Jian once, and Mao Ge treated him quite well. Even though San Pang always followed Yang Jian, Mao Ge didn't distance himself from him and often learned about Yang Jian's movements from him.
Yang Jian also trusted San Pang, after all, they grew up together. He knew San Pang wouldn't dare to trick him again, so he tried his best to help him, and in return, he could also gather some information from Mao Ge.
After Biao Biao and the other two left, Yang Jian immediately called his cousin Jing Yongli and asked him to start purchasing the template factory equipment.
Jing Yongli had been communicating with equipment manufacturers for a long time, and the relevant supporting infrastructure was already in place. As long as the money was paid, the equipment would be delivered quickly. The manufacturer would send specialized personnel for installation, debugging, and training.
At the same time, the application for the agricultural loan was also being put on the agenda, with the village head responsible for the relevant application materials.
When one is happy, their spirits are high. Earning over 700,000 yuan in two days made Yang Jian feel like he could be discharged from the hospital. After Wei Xia gave him a comprehensive examination, she agreed to his discharge but required him to continue recuperating at home for one to two months, without any strenuous activity or excessive mental exertion.
After completing the discharge procedures, Yang Jian did not go home immediately. Instead, accompanied by Lu Yao, he went to his brother-in-law's repair shop. He intended to stay there for two days because Lu Feng's case was about to go to trial.
Yang Shuanglin had been taking care of his two grandsons there. Seeing his son lively again eased his mind by half, and he hoped his daughter would also recover and be discharged soon.
"Second Jian, the car is repaired and will be ready to drive tomorrow."
Gao Daqiang emerged from the workshop, covered in oil, and handed over the keys.
"Brother-in-law, did the two car repairs cost a lot?"
"The material costs alone exceeded fifty thousand yuan. This car has had a difficult fate, being smashed twice in two months. If the conditions were better, you should consider replacing it. Sometimes, one must consider superstitions."
"I can't afford to replace the car right now. Brother-in-law, I'll transfer the repair money to you tomorrow."
"No need. I still have your bank card with over 400,000 yuan. If you were truly short of money, I wouldn't hesitate to ask. Hurry up and make money. I'm worried this land will be requisitioned by the government and sold to developers. If your sister hadn't had her accident, I would have planned to build a wall around it and put up a few unfinished rooms. Otherwise, if it's all requisitioned, your foundation will be gone too."
Yang Jian was greatly surprised, "Brother-in-law, is there any news about that?"
"Yes, it's been circulating in the village. People have been coming with instruments to measure the area recently. Before the policy is finalized, we must act quickly and build something on it. Even if we can't hold on, we can at least strive for some compensation."
Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, then let's act quickly. Use the money in the bank card first. If my sister's surgery fee is not enough, I will find a way."
Lu Yao also said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Sister Hui's surgery expenses. We definitely can't let this land be taken by others."
"Okay, I'll go find people right away and start construction tomorrow, beginning with the wall. Second Jian, since you're in construction, plan this land reasonably and see what kind of houses would be suitable. Also, we need to grease the palms of the land management department. Can you find Yu Feng to put in a good word?"
"There's no need to find Yu Feng. I can find someone in the land management office. As for the design and planning, leave that to me. I'll have my dad come over to survey it. He's a Grade 1 constructor and has much richer engineering experience than Brother Jian. I guarantee he'll come up with a plan in the fastest possible time."
Lu Yao immediately became unhappy when she heard about finding Yu Feng.
Yang Jian smiled, "Yaoyao, it's indeed reliable to ask your dad for planning and design. No one has more experience than him. But are you sure you can find connections in the land management department? That sounds like bragging."
Lu Yao pouted, "What's there to brag about? Chengguan is this big, and the circles within the system are interconnected. Every family has children studying, so finding connections in the land management department isn't difficult. Moreover, my colleague's husband is the director of the Chengguan Land Management Office. I'll visit their home tonight and guarantee I'll handle this matter beautifully."
Yang Jian gave her a thumbs-up, "You're the best. Having a wife in the system is indeed very beneficial."
"Hmph, who's your wife?"
Gao Daqiang also nodded, "Second Jian is telling the truth. In this small county, without connections within the system, it's too difficult for ordinary people to get things done. If Yao Yao marries into the Yang family, we can all benefit."
Yang Jian grabbed Lu Yao's hand, "Yaoyao marrying into the Yang family is a must. No one can take her away, right Yaoyao?"
"Get lost, I haven't agreed to marry you."
