Meihua Village and Xiaohuang Village are separated by a village, so the journey is quite far.
But this time they were much luckier than when they came to Meihua Village, because the narrow road in the mountains had been repaired!
Finally they don’t have to run around anymore!
Because it is almost the Chinese New Year, there are very few vans carrying passengers in the mountains, and the prices are doubled.
Such a relatively short distance used to cost only more than 30 yuan, but now it costs 100 yuan!
When Ye Linlang heard the driver's lazy tone, as if to say you are a fat sheep and it would be a waste not to slaughter you, she felt unhappy.
This price is a bit too high!
Jiang Qiran was much more generous. He stopped Ye Linlang who was trying to bargain, and directly took out three red banknotes from his wallet and gave them to the driver of the van.
"Go ahead, try to go early, this is three times the price, and you can also give us a ride back when we come back later, and you can find a place to have tea during the few hours on the way."
After all, it's a mountain village. How could you carry passengers for several kilometers for three hundred yuan a day
The driver's eyes widened and he nodded to Jiang Qiran with great joy!
"Okay! Then give me a call!"
Jiang Qiran nodded nonchalantly, but Ye Linlang was unhappy.
She pouted and looked at Jiang Qiran with some complaint.
"Why do we have to pay so much now? And can't we come back and find another driver when the time comes? And what if he runs away halfway..."
This means I have to pay an unknown amount of money!
After all, the price charged by this driver is many times more expensive than usual!
If the driver sends them away and doesn't want to take them back the second time, he can just run away since he has already got the money!
When the driver heard what Ye Linlang said, he immediately glared at Ye Linlang!
"Little girl, I, Old Li, still have some integrity! Don't worry, I won't run away halfway!"
Jiang Qiran had a calm expression. Looking at Ye Linlang's pouting face, he couldn't help but think that Ye Linlang was very cute at this time.
He was born into a wealthy family and had never lacked money since childhood. This was not to say that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wanhui doted on him and gave him a lot of pocket money, but that they had taught Jiang Qiran how to manage finances since he was a child.
Moreover, ever since he started learning venture capital from his father in middle school, Jiang Qiran's original capital has multiplied countless times. Even Jiang Xuecheng thinks that Jiang Qiran is a natural business tycoon.
When he showed Ye Linlang the necklace worth more than 1.8 million, she bought it without blinking an eye, let alone these 300 yuan.
After sitting in the van, Ye Linlang twitched the corners of her mouth, obviously unhappy about Jiang Qiran's lavish spending just now.
Seeing that Ye Linlang was still reluctant, Jiang Qiran reached out and stroked the ends of Ye Linlang's hair.
"Linlang, don't worry. Even if the driver wants to escape temporarily, it will be useless. I have written down his license plate number. If he wants to run away, I can find him even if I chase him to the ends of the earth."
The driver in front was stunned when he heard Jiang Qiran's words.
He turned around and glanced at Jiang Qiran and Ye Linlang in a daze, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Brother, did you really memorize my license plate number?"
No way, Jiang Qiran clearly wasn’t staring at his license plate just now.
Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Jiang Qiran kept smiling and calmly reported a string of numbers.
"S?546787, do you think I'm reciting it wrong?"
When the driver heard this string of numbers, he was immediately impressed.
"You are really amazing, little brother! I don't know where you are from, but the way you are dressed doesn't seem like you are from here, but more like kids from the city."
The first is appearance. Ye Linlang aside, Jiang Qiran, a boy, is much more delicate than a girl. Although he doesn't look feminine, he looks like a young man who has never done any womanizing and is very noble.
Jiang Qiran smiled when he heard this, but did not answer.
Instead, Ye Linlang said something.
"He is indeed a city dweller, but I was born and raised in a small deserted village."
The driver nodded with a smile, but because the bend ahead was narrow and the car could easily roll over if one was not careful, he stopped talking to Ye Linlang and the others.
…
About ten minutes later, Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran arrived at their destination, Xiaohuang Village.
The driver parked the car on the side of the road as Jiang Qiran said, and immediately prepared to go to the village to find someone he knew to have a couple of drinks.
Although he is not from Xiaohuang Village, he has a relative who married a girl from here, and he is currently preparing for the New Year in Xiaohuang Village.
…
Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran were very emotional when they set foot on the land of Xiaohuang Village again.
Seeing the white road sign of Xiaohuang Village from afar, Ye Linlang felt as if she was in another world.
It has only been more than half a year since she left Xiaohuang Village, but now when she thinks about it, she feels that except for the old lady of the Song family who is buried underground, she has no attachment to this place at all.
It's definitely not just because this place is poor, but more because of the discrimination from the villagers. From childhood to adulthood, she has been carrying the title of little disaster star and cannot be redeemed.
Ye Linlang thought back to the past when she was ridiculed by others and couldn't help but smile at herself.
I wonder if anyone still remembers me, the “little disaster” that everyone hates, after not coming here for more than half a year.
…
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang's lonely expression, he felt for the first time that the girl's drooping brows looked so bleak.
"Linlang, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
When Ye Linlang heard Jiang Qiran's caring words, she couldn't help but look up at Jiang Qiran. The young man's eyebrows were clear and full of concern.
Ye Linlang couldn't help but feel an indescribable warmth in her heart.
"It's nothing, Qi Ran, let's leave quickly after we pay our respects to Grandma Song."
Jiang Qiran was stunned when he heard this.
Although I had expected that Ye Linlang would not like this place, I was still a little surprised to see that Ye Linlang wanted to leave quickly.
But Jiang Qiran didn't ask any more questions. Poking at someone's scars would always make them feel particularly embarrassed.
"Okay, whatever you say."
As soon as the two people entered the village, they immediately attracted the attention of many residents of the small deserted village.
"Oh my god! The little disaster star is back!"
"Who's that boy next to her? He looks so handsome!"
…
The driver hadn't gone far yet and couldn't help but poke a villager and ask a question.
"You seem to know them all?"
The villager immediately curled his lips.
"Who in the whole small deserted village doesn't know the little disaster star Ye Linlang? Look, that girl! She is so unlucky. She brought death to the whole family of Grandma Song!"
"That's right, she actually has the nerve to come back!"
