The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 91: Wild Boar and Outspoken Neighbor
In the night, Jiang Cheng saw a huge animal with glowing eyes at the front of the car. From the silhouette, Jiang Cheng could tell it was a wild boar.

Jiang Cheng, who had the portable space, was still very calm. The original owner of the body had memories of seeing a dead wild boar. But it was the first time that Jiang Cheng saw that the wild boar's eyes could glow at night.

Fortunately, it was just a wild boar. If a leopard or tiger appeared, Jiang Cheng might have been close to him before he woke up. Jiang Cheng climbed on the railing and didn't move. Then he activated his ability. I am invincible within a five-meter range.

The two big guys playing with the tires disappeared in an instant, and although they didn't make any noise, they still alarmed the other wild boars. A few wild boars appeared from the side where Jiang Cheng couldn't see them and quickly slipped into the woods.

There was no movement around, Jiang Cheng folded up the mosquito net and got back into the cab. He looked at his watch and it was past one in the morning. He didn't plan to sleep in the back of the car anymore, and decided not to sleep outdoors in the mountains and forests anymore.

This time we encountered a wild boar. Nowadays, there are wild tigers and leopards in some places, and they approach hunters very quietly.

Jiang Cheng was lying in a row of seats behind the cab, thinking for a long time. There were two big wild boars in the space, which were all meat. But if he let them out directly, he couldn't catch them, and Jiang Cheng might not react in time and let them run away.

Find a high place to release the wild boar, and let it fall to death. But wild boars have thick skin and flesh, so they can only be killed by being released from a high place. Release it into the water and let it drown, as I heard wild boars can swim.

After all, even if we use space to catch this ferocious thing, it is not easy to kill it.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t think of a good way to deal with the wild boar for a while, so he lay down for a while and felt sleepy again, so he fell asleep.

The next morning Jiang Cheng woke up and got out of the car to check it. The car was intact, and the wild boar that appeared yesterday did not cause any damage to the car.

After a quick wash, Jiang Cheng set off.

The road ahead is not easy to drive on. If you encounter a mountain or something, you may have to take a big detour, and there are no tunnels.

We encountered four inspections along the way, two by local personnel and two when we passed through some important road sections.

In fact, there were several inspections yesterday, but because we had not left Jiangxi Province yesterday, the local inspections saw that it was a car from Changcheng Transportation Station. Some inspections actually focused on foreign vehicles, so they did not get on the car to check, and asked a few questions outside the car and waved Jiang Cheng away.

There are a lot more checkpoints this time than the last time I went to Yancheng. The last time Jiang Cheng went to Yancheng, he mostly drove on township roads. The route he took was relatively remote and he might have avoided some checkpoints.

But it is impossible to avoid it completely, so it is okay to take people a short distance, or directly take them out of the province. At least now Jiang Cheng can't find a feasible route.

It should be said that in order to prevent the carrying of some prohibited items and people, it may not be to prevent the driver from taking an ordinary female educated youth, but it is indeed very strict to prevent others. Jiang Cheng felt that it was a bit impossible to bring Zhou Lingying to meet her family by taking her to Nanjing privately.

But Jiang Cheng still didn't understand some of the situations in this era. He could understand preventing the educated youth from returning to the city without permission. But he didn't understand why the families of the educated youth didn't seem to go to the countryside to visit their children in this era.

Once in Nanjing, Jiang Cheng planned to ask Zhou Lingying's parents and maybe they would know the situation.

Changcheng, the road ahead.

Qianjin Road is a street on the east side of Nanluoxiang. There is a well next to the entrance of the street. Except for the very hot weather at noon, there are people here almost all day long.

Most of them were people washing clothes nearby. At this moment, Jiang Cheng's mother, Zhao Yuxia, was washing clothes here. Next to her was a neighbor, Aunt Li, Li Meihong, who lived in the same yard.

"Sister Zhao, your son is amazing. He's a car driver, so enviable." Aunt Li said as she drew a bucket of water from the well. "Sister Li, your son has done well on his own. I didn't expect that." Zhao Yuxia responded with a smile.

"Sister Zhao, I'm a bit outspoken and there are some things I say that you may not like to hear. Your daughter-in-law doesn't know how to live. She's also an educated youth and is not a good match for your son." Li Meihong said.

Zhao Yuxia didn't expect Li Meihong to say this. You know, she introduced Zhou Lingying, the daughter-in-law, to her son. She thought her daughter-in-law was okay. So she couldn't help but reply, "My daughter-in-law is okay, how can she not be worthy?"

"Your son is a bus driver. You know, even if he wants to find a wife in the city, there are many choices. What's the use of your daughter-in-law except for her pretty face. As an educated youth, she can't even find a job to supplement the family income in the city. Moreover, she was taken to the city by your son and has to wash clothes with tap water every day. She is not in a hurry to go to work, so why not come here to fetch water from the well to wash clothes? A ton of water costs 20 cents." Li Meihong said.

After hearing what Li Meihong said, Zhao Yuxia did feel that Zhou Lingying was not worthy of her son. The main reason was that she had not thought that her husband Jiang Changhe's illness could be cured, and she was afraid that her son Jiang Cheng would find a wife in the city, and the family would not be willing to let Jiang Cheng take care of Jiang Quan's children.

Zhou Lingying is very obedient now, but it can be seen that she is not as good at work as her eldest daughter-in-law Li Xianglan. These past two days, she always uses oil to cook directly. Only her son can get so much oil, which is unthinkable in the countryside.

Now Zhao Yuxia thought that if her husband Jiang Changhe's disease could be cured and her son Jiang Cheng could help a little, she and her husband could just look after their grandchildren in the countryside. Introducing Zhou Lingying to her son was indeed a burden to him. It would be great if her son Jiang Cheng could find a beautiful wife with a job in the city.

"She's a young girl, so we should discipline her more and ask her to be more frugal." Zhao Yuxia said while washing clothes. Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying are both married, so it's difficult for her to drive her daughter-in-law away.

"That's right. You can't just cook and wash clothes every day and do nothing else and still not know how to save. Even if your son drives a car, his money doesn't come from the wind." Li Meihong said with a smile.

Zhao Yuxia nodded. She did have too many thoughts about her daughter-in-law Zhou Lingying, but after hearing what Li Meihong said today, her impression of her was a little worse.

Li Meihong was happy to see Zhao Yuxia "listening to advice".

Since Zhou Lingying moved into the courtyard, everyone has seen how she lives. Some women and daughters-in-law in the courtyard compare how Jiang Cheng treats Zhou Lingying with their own men.

Li Hongmei's daughter-in-law said that Zhou Lingying's life was so good that she could wash clothes whenever she wanted and cook whatever she wanted.

A few days ago, I was still worried about eating rice every day. Even if there were 30 kilograms of rice at home, it would not last for many days. Well, the man went out for a few days and came back with another bag of more than 30 kilograms of rice.

Look at the daughters-in-law, they calculate this and that every day. Especially those who live with their parents-in-law, they will be criticized if they spend a little more money.

Now Zhou Lingying is a role model, although the women in the courtyard also think that she lives a good life and does not know how to save money in some places. But if the men in the family want to nag again, they can use Jiang Cheng's treatment of Zhou Lingying to fight back.

She is married too, and she went to the movies the day before yesterday. As for my husband, let alone spending a few cents on a movie, he would be considered unfit to live if he could only buy a two-cent popsicle.

Also, it is said that women take care of the household and men take care of the outside, but in daily life, even if you need to spend a few cents on groceries, you have to ask where the money goes. As for giving the money to a woman to manage, that is unthinkable.

Everyone knew how Jiang Cheng gave money to Zhou Lingying, because Zhou Lingying told her next-door neighbor Wang Yuzhen, who then told the others in the yard out of envy.

Anyway, almost everyone in the yard knows about what Jiang Cheng's women do behind the scenes.
