Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Changming Village Map
Jhiang Yuan knew it was well-intentioned.
But she just couldn’t feel at ease about letting her daughter go there.
"Xiao Ling, thank you, but Xiao Nuan will stay home for the next couple of days. My mother is also feeling a bit unwell.
She won’t go over tomorrow. She’s just arrived here, and the child is also a little uncomfortable."
Xiao Ling nodded, showing understanding.
"That’s okay, let her come over when she’s more settled."
"Alright!"
Jhiang Yuan smiled knowingly, her eyes curving into crescents.
"I remember Liang Kang had studied to be a chef before, right?"
"Yes, that’s right."
Indeed, last time he butchered that wolf meat really well.
"I see the dining hall over there seems to be hiring, too. Why not go and ask?"
Xiao Ling’s eyes lit up, for Liang Kang hadn’t worked as a chef later on, so she hadn’t considered this option.
If he could really get a job at the dining hall, that would be excellent.
Today, after following others doing odd jobs, he was having a hard time keeping up.
However, there was not much money left at home, so all he could do was grit his teeth and carry on.
"Yuanyuan, I’d better head back and talk it over with him."
"Sure, go ahead!"
This was an important matter that couldn’t be delayed.
It was almost one o’clock, so she hurried to get some rest before afternoon work.
They needed to leave at one thirty for the two o’clock shift.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t make it on time, and just thinking about the five-yuan penalty for being late was overwhelmingly frustrating.
When she left the house, she finally saw Song Yi.
For some reason, now that everyone was doing their own things and they weren’t together, it felt like a loss. She was used to the idea of it always being him when she stepped out the door.
This person was too strong, always providing a sense of security.
"Song Yi, are you heading to work? How is it going? Are you adjusting well?"
Seeing the concern on his face, he was still very happy.
"I’m doing fine, don’t worry.
How about you? If it’s too exhausting..."
"It’s okay..."
She cut him off quickly, knowing Song Yi was probably about to say not to go if it’s too tiring.
"Since I’ve come, I might as well settle in, don’t worry, I’m doing well.
Now I should go. We’ll talk when I get back tonight."
Since Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing had both come out, she didn’t dare to delay any longer.
"Alright!"
Song Yi watched her leave, and then he went to look after Little One...
That afternoon, she mentioned to Sister Ying that Qin Yue would be taking the next day off.
"Alright, leave your work badge when you go tonight."
"Yes, thank you so much."
She was as respectful as possible, aware that if she didn’t take her work badge with her, she would miss out on many benefits.
It wasn’t made explicit, but she didn’t care, the meals really were terrible.
After a busy day, her back and waist ached.
Dinner was taken to go, since they had a thermal lunch box at home.
Alternatively, it was also possible to rent one, which Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing had done.
Zhang Kaiyang also needed to eat, and by bringing food home, they could add some dried meat, spicy strips, and such.
Jhiang Yuan quickly went downstairs to fetch some hot water. There was nothing much at home, and if it wouldn’t work, she thought she might visit the small convenience store to pick up some daily necessities.
After washing up, she entered the space.
In fact, it was best to wash up in there.
But if you don’t go out often and always appear clean, that might raise suspicions.
The attendants in the duty room kept a close watch on everyone who came back, so she had to be cautious!
Since they finished work early in the afternoon, they had to stay longer in the evening.
Jhiang Xingzhi had come back early, and after having dinner with his family in the space, they took some time to rest.
Only then did she come out, tidying up and preparing for bed.
Song Yi knocked on the door, saying he was calling for Jhiang Yuan to come over.
She instructed her mother to watch Xiao Nuan and then left.
This was her first time coming to Song Yi’s place, and the room was just as empty as anything else.
"You sit on the bed, the chair is very cold."
"Okay!"
Not knowing what the matter was exactly, Jhiang Yuan waited for him to speak.
Song Yi took a piece of white paper and began to draw on it.
She watched quietly, without interrupting.
This thing looked like a map, but how Song Yi knew about it was a big mystery.
"Jhiang Yuan, look, I’ve figured out this part."
"You just went there for one day, and you’ve figured it out?"
"Yes!"
Without a word of explanation, he just acknowledged it like that.
"Look, this estate, it’s a square.
Originally it was only this big..."
As he spoke, he used a pencil to circle a certain area on the paper.
She listened attentively, carefully memorizing each place.
"Next to this, there used to be a garrison of troops, right here.
Later, they merged the villages together, and that’s what led to the current situation."
"So, the ones in power here, are they the original garrison troops?"
"No, this place isn’t very large, at first it was in a self-preservation stage.
Later, it was annexed by another group of troops, and now the outsiders hold power."
My goodness, he had managed to find out so much.
Jhiang Yuan hurriedly gave him a thumbs-up, even a double-handed one.
Song Yi was amused by her gesture, even laughed a bit.
"You see the surroundings, now they have all been walled up, basically like a fortress."
"The entire thing?"
"Yes!"
Right now, she just felt like sending out an astonished pretty girl emoji.
"Such a huge construction project, in such cold weather, how was it built.
It feels as if it’s more demanding than the task of building the Great Wall under Emperor Qin Shi Huang!"
"Your imagination is quite something, but yes, you can think of it that way..."
Song Yi circled a few more places, then brought the paper to her for inspection.
"Around here, they have all been guarded, and in these places, they have people as well.
Normally, don’t run around for no reason, it’s very dangerous."
"Yes, yes!"
Jhiang Yuan nodded repeatedly; these people had guns, and they, as ordinary civilians, were no match at all.
Who would want to find trouble if they knew better, but if they were not aware, it was very possible to stumble upon them accidentally.
"Moreover, the people inside came from around here.
At present, it seems they are not all free labor, but they’re almost.
Listen to me, don’t send Xiao Nuan to the study class, and also, don’t skip work often.
Do you remember, back in the residential area, how everything we did was known by others?"
All of a sudden, Jhiang Yuan’s eyes widened. Song Yi knew too much, and this reminder of his.
They still hadn’t figured out who the informant inside the residential area was before they left there.
"You mean, here as well..."
"Even more so..."
Song Yi was very serious, making her realize this was not a joke.
"In the next few days, I will continue to probe, but you and the others shouldn’t have conflicts with anyone.
Even if it requires bearing some loss, as long as it ensures safety, understood?"
"Yeah, don’t worry, I’ll look out for them."
"Also, in that greenhouse you’re in, they’re researching some new things.
Jhiang Yuan, find a way to get into the lab, it will benefit you!"
