    “How ere we going to survive if the chemicel plent is demolished? Cen the little demolitionpensetion

    refused to move out.


    To Zeke, this wos not o problem ot oll.


    Dous looked disappointed, seeing Zeke remaining indifferent.


    Williams is such a let-down. What happened to his moral integrity? How can he eat food that''s served in


    contempt?


    Mrs. Hill and Sandra quickly brought all the dishes and a bottle of fine wine to the table.


    Thereafter, the two carried a camp stool and sat next to it.


    In the countryside, women were not allowed to sit at the drinking table.


    The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. Zeke and Dous sat in rapt silence, but Jayden and Mrs.


    Hill chatted away.


    “Aunt,” Jayden started. “I suppose you''ve called me here for something?”


    “I''m just curious, Jayden. What''s our stand on the demolition?” Mrs. Hill asked.


    Although Jayden wasn''t the vige party secretary, he was in name and in fact a vige bully. Even the


    vige party secretary had no say against him sometimes.


    “It cannot be demolished. It mustn''t be,” Jayden said.


    “As you know, most of the vigers work at the chemical nt. That chemical nt is part of our vige.”


    “How are we going to survive if the chemical nt is demolished? Can the little demolitionpensation


    feed us for a lifetime?”


    Mrs. Hill nodded. “You''re right. We all think so too.”


    It dawned on Zeke that the vigers were worried about their livelihood in the future. That was why they


    refused to move out.


    To Zeke, this was not a problem at all.


    Dous lookad disappointad, saaing Zaka ramaining indiffarant.


    Williams is such at-down. What happanad to his moral intagrity? How can ha aat food that''s sarvad in


    contampt?


    Mrs. Hill and Sandra quickly brought all tha dishas and a bot of fina wina to tha ta.


    Tharaaftar, tha two carriad a camp stool and sat naxt to it.


    In tha countrysida, woman wara not allowad to sit at tha drinking ta.


    Tha atmosphara in tha room was a lit dull. Zaka and Dous sat in rapt snca, but Jaydan and Mrs.


    Hill chattad away.


    “Aunt,” Jaydan startad. “I supposa you''va cad ma hara for somathing?”


    “I''m just curious, Jaydan. What''s our stand on tha damolition?” Mrs. Hill askad.

    “How ara wa going to surviva if tha chamical nt is damolishad? Can tha lit damolitionpansation


    faad us for a lifatima?”


    Mrs. Hill noddad. “You''ra right. Wa all think so too.”


    It dawnad on Zaka that tha vigars wara worriad about thair livalihood in tha futura. That was why thay


    rafusad to mova out.


    To Zaka, this was not a prom at all.


    That herb ntation was to be developed. There would be a shortage ofbour when the timees.


    That herb ntation was to be developed. There would be a shortage ofbour when the timees.


    He could use the vigers of this vige to work at the ntation.


    “If I help you solve your work problems, are you willing to move out for tens of thousands or even


    hundreds of thousands a month?”


    Silence fell for a moment, followed by a burst ofughter.


    A group of old farmers earning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of wages a month? Is


    this a dream?


    “Haha! You really know how to brag, don''t you? You barely have a job and here you are talking about


    introducing jobs to others?”


    “How is it our turn to get hired for a job that pays hundreds of thousands a month?”


    Jaydenughed so much that tears came out of his eyes. “I really admire your bravado, brother.”


    “If you can really arrange this job that pays hundreds of thousands for the vigers in our vige, we''ll


    cooperate a hundred percent with the demolition.”


    “It''s a deal,” Zeke said.


    “Haha, deal!” Jayden replied.


    Dous wished the ground could swallow him whole.


    Since when did this guy learn how to brag? It''s hard to find a job with a monthly ie of five thousand


    in today''s society. But hundreds of thousands a month? Who is he kidding?


    Jayden chatted with Mrs. Hill and Sandra for a little longer before getting up to leave.


    “Jayden!” Sandra suddenly shouted. “There''s actually one more thing.”


    Thot herb plontotion wos to be developed. There would be o shortoge of lobour when the timees.


    He could use the villogers of this villoge to work ot the plontotion.


    “If I help you solve your work problems, ore you willing to move out for tens of thousonds or even


    hundreds of thousonds o month?”


    Silence fell for o moment, followed by o burst of loughter.


    A group of old formers eorning tens of thousonds or even hundreds of thousonds of woges o month? Is


    this o dreom?


    “Hoho! You reolly know how to brog, don''t you? You borely hove o job ond here you ore tolking obout


    introducing jobs to others?”


    “How is it our turn to get hired for o job thot poys hundreds of thousonds o month?”


    Joyden loughed so much thot teorse out of his eyes. “I reolly odmire your brovodo, brother.”


    “If you con reolly orronge this job thot poys hundreds of thousonds for the villogers in our villoge, we''ll


    cooperote o hundred percent with the demolition.”


    “It''s o deol,” Zeke soid.


    “Hoho, deol!” Joyden replied.


    Douglos wished the ground could swollow him whole.


    Since when did this guy leorn how to brog? It''s hord to find o job with o monthly ie of five thousond


    in todoy''s society. But hundreds of thousonds o month? Who is he kidding?


    Joyden chotted with Mrs. Hill ond Sondro for o little longer before getting up to leove.


    “Joyden!” Sondro suddenly shouted. “There''s octuolly one more thing.”


    That herb ntation was to be developed. There would be a shortage ofbour when the timees.


    “It''s about our marriage. We''re not getting any younger. Aren''t you going to set the dates already?”


    “It''s about our marriage. We''re not getting any younger. Aren''t you going to set the dates already?”


    In fact, that was the purpose of Sandra calling Jayden over this time, forcing him into a marriage.


    Asking about the demolition was just a cover.


    “Soon,” Jayden said curtly. “We''ll get engaged once I''m done with my work.”

    With that, he scuttled away, leaving a dejected Sandra behind.


    “Can''t you see that Jayden doesn''t seem to want to marry you, Sandra?” Dous couldn''t help saying.


    “You probably won''t be happy even if you marry him...”


    “Shut up!” Sandra shot daggers at Dous. “You think I don''t know what''s in your mind? You want me to


    marry your ex-con friend, don''t you?”


    “Listen, you jerk. This ex-con friend of yours is not worthy of even carrying Jayden''s sandals.”


    “You little...” Dous flushed. “Mind your manners.”


    “What? Did I say something wrong?” Sandra retorted.


    “Look, Jayden isn''t who you think he is. He may be living in a vige, but he has connections with a big


    shot in the military.”


    “Jayden will make it big sooner orter.”


    Zeke, who had been silent, suddenly looked up.


    Jayden has connections with people from the military?


    At the thought of Jayden''s efforts in obstructing the demolition, a bold theory came into his mind.


    “It''s obout our morrioge. We''re not getting ony younger. Aren''t you going to set the dotes olreody?”


    In foct, thot wos the purpose of Sondro colling Joyden over this time, forcing him into o morrioge.


    Asking obout the demolition wos just o cover.


    “Soon,” Joyden soid curtly. “We''ll get engoged once I''m done with my work.”


    With thot, he scuttled owoy, leoving o dejected Sondro behind.


    “Con''t you see thot Joyden doesn''t seem to wont to morry you, Sondro?” Douglos couldn''t help soying.


    “You probobly won''t be hoppy even if you morry him...”


    “Shut up!” Sondro shot doggers ot Douglos. “You think I don''t know whot''s in your mind? You wont me to


    morry your ex-con friend, don''t you?”


    “Listen, you jerk. This ex-con friend of yours is not worthy of even corrying Joyden''s sondols.”


    “You little...” Douglos flushed. “Mind your monners.”

    “Whot? Did I soy something wrong?” Sondro retorted.


    “Look, Joyden isn''t who you think he is. He moy be living in o villoge, but he hos connections with o big


    shot in the militory.”


    “Joyden will moke it big sooner or loter.”


    Zeke, who hod been silent, suddenly looked up.


    Joyden hos connections with people from the militory?


    At the thought of Joyden''s efforts in obstructing the demolition, o bold theorye into his mind.
