Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

He was breathing heavily, his eyes darting between thoughts. "First, get someone to break their generator! At least make things difficult for them! As for the rest, hmph..."

Seeing that he had no chance of getting the spot for the oyster mushroom cultivation site, Chen Mingda quickly changed his strategy. Since he couldn't get it anyway, he might as well do a favor and offer it to someone with more influence at higher levels.

"Uncle, who... will that spot be given to?"

Chen Mingda glanced at him. "Someone you can't afford to offend. Tomorrow is the selection meeting. I'll give the spot to the 65th Regiment and let them have some fun first."

"However, it's still uncertain who will ultimately get this spot. There are people parachuted in from above eyeing this lucrative opportunity."

...

The aroma of dinner wafted from every household in the 65th Regiment.

This year's harvest is better than expected. With the addition of a generator for threshing, efficiency has greatly increased. The company only needs to send one person on duty to take turns watching the machines at the threshing yard.

The atmosphere in the entire regiment was cheerful.

Zhang Yan ate the rare bowl of rice, but her eyes were fixed on the distance—Su Wanqing had gotten back onto Old Zhang's oxcart, heading somewhere unknown. Jealousy welled up inside her. "That wretched woman, so secretive, where is she going to seduce someone this time?"

She followed quietly, as if possessed, when suddenly someone patted her on the back and covered her mouth with a large hand!

Startled, she was about to scream when a voice rang in her ear: "Don't shout! It's Zhang Zhiqing, it's me!"

Zhang Yan turned around and saw Chen Weidong! Her face immediately lit up with surprise and delight: "Chen, the educated youth? You, what brings you here?"

Chen Weidong ignored her question and only asked, "Would you like to live with me in a red brick house someday?"

A blush rose to Zhang Yan's face, and she lowered her head shyly, "I want to..."

Chen Weidong sneered, "Then listen to me. It's your turn to be on duty at the threshing floor tonight, right? Find a time when no one's around and sabotage that generator! Then pretend you've discovered it, shout for help, and say the machine just broke down somehow."

Hesitation and fear flashed across Zhang Yan's face: "What if they suspect I broke it? Damaging production machinery... that's a serious crime!"

Chen Weidong grabbed her wrist impatiently:

"What are you afraid of? Just act a little panicked, and who will suspect a female educated youth like you? As long as the machine breaks down, my generator will come in handy, and then I can rightfully get my brick house back. Or do you want to live in an adobe house forever and suffer with those peasants?"

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, but greed replaced her. "Okay! Chen Zhiqing, you wait for my good news! But if this works out, you have to marry me and take me to live in a brick house."

"Don't worry, you'll stay in the city with me tonight."

On the other side, Su Wanqing arrived at the agreed location in the county town by oxcart. Liu Shuqing had been waiting for a long time and welcomed her into the passenger seat of a truck.

"We've been waiting for you, Dr. Su."

Party Secretary Li was also there. The three of them took a truck again and arrived at Shili Yanglin under the cover of night.

Upon arriving at their destination, Su Wanqing jumped out of the car and said to Secretary Li and Liu Shuqing, "Secretary Li, Officer Liu, please wait here for a moment. I'll go check if they've loaded the diesel fuel yet."

The two agreed in unison, as they were already used to it.

Su Wanqing had already instructed them to clean the large number of discarded oil drums they had collected and hide them in a designated location deep in the woods. No one was allowed to approach or inspect them unless she confirmed it.

Watching Su Wanqing's figure disappear into the depths of the woods, Liu Shuqing couldn't help but quietly ask Secretary Li:

"Master, you know, what kind of organization is this friend of Comrade Su...? We've prepared dozens of large oil drums this time. If they're all full, that'll be over a hundred tons of diesel, right? Such a large quantity requires multiple layers of approval even for regular oil depots. Can they really get it without anyone noticing?"

Party Secretary Li glared at him. "Shut up! Don't ask questions you shouldn't! Remember, we're only responsible for providing the buckets, keeping the accounts, and preparing the gold and silver. The rest is none of our business! Keep your eyes open, just count the oil, and don't say a word!"

While the two were talking, Su Wanqing returned. "Secretary Li, Officer Liu, I've checked. All the oil drums are full, not a drop has spilled!"

"Good! Good! That's great!" Secretary Li exclaimed repeatedly, finally relieved.

At this moment, the leaders of the other groups also arrived by car one after another. As soon as they saw Su Wanqing, they immediately surrounded her and greeted her warmly, completely ignoring the matchmaker, Secretary Li.

"Comrade Xiao Su, you've worked hard!"

"Oh, thank you so much this time!"

Party Secretary Li: "..." These greedy old bastards!

"Don't worry, Comrade Xiao Su, at tomorrow's selection meeting, our regiment will definitely cast its vote for the 65th Regiment!"

"With the support of us old guys, the spot is practically guaranteed! By the way, Comrade Su," a regimental commander leaned closer and whispered, "there's an old scholar in our regimental cowshed, a researcher, who wants to get a new camera. I wonder if your friend can get one?"

This old scholar contributed the gold bars, wanting only the camera. Since he received the gold, he had to do something for the other party.

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. She still had nine Seagull cameras lying in her space (the ones that had been returned tenfold before), and she immediately nodded: "Sure, it should be fine."

Upon hearing this, the other regimental leaders and branch secretaries around them lit up and gathered around, their attitudes becoming even more enthusiastic, all asking if they could get any other scarce goods.

Party Secretary Li quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright! We can talk about other options later! Let me make this clear first: although this batch of diesel is being distributed at market price, it was only because Comrade Xiao Su did a huge favor to get it! If Comrade Xiao Su needs any help in the future, you can't refuse!"

"Secretary Li, don't worry! Comrade Xiao Su's affairs are our affairs!"

"Exactly! It's rare for Comrade Su to have such connections, we'll definitely keep that in mind! We'll remember this favor!"

In remote mountainous areas like theirs, if the government doesn't allocate supplies, they have to find their own way. They really have to ask Su Wanqing for help!

If this had happened in Bincheng, Su Wanqing would probably have been the first to be arrested and accused of speculation and profiteering.

When everyone arrived at the location where the oil drums were hidden, they opened them and found that they were indeed full of shiny black diesel oil. They were so excited that they felt like they had found a mountain of gold!

"Wow! So many!"

"Now our regiment's tractors and water pumps are saved!"

"I don't have to look at those old faces who give me approvals anymore! Every time I need to get some supplies, I have to beg and plead!"

The scene immediately erupted in excitement.

After everyone had distributed their diesel fuel, Su Wanqing had already collected 5 kilograms of gold and 20 kilograms of silver!

Su Wanqing had enough funds for her space upgrade in an instant! Her breathing quickened; she hadn't expected that hundreds of tons of diesel oil would be so valuable!

We'll upgrade the space once she gets back!

She couldn't help but look forward to it. What new abilities would appear this time with the space upgrade?
