Chapter 497: Tan Siniu is useless anymore

Li Wenjun said, "Wait until my brother becomes the mine manager."
Tao Guangming: "Oh, talk seriously."
Li Wenjun: "My brother will become the mine manager next February. I will start construction after the rainy season in May next year. It should take about half a year to build, then let it air out for two to three months. We should be able to move in by the time of the Chinese New Year next year."
Tao Guangming scratched his head: "Oh my, it will take over a year to sort out things like this. If Brother Yong cannot become the mine manager next year, the timeline will be pushed back even further... I better think of another solution."
Li Wenjun: "You're not really planning to move here, are you?"
Tao Guangming: "Yes, I am. In case Ji Rushi gets pregnant, the hospital in the mining area has good facilities and is close by, which will be convenient for her delivery. Plus, my child can play with Dian Dian and Teacher Gu can also help me teach my child in the future."
Li Wenjun: "Damn it, you're really cunning, using our whole family to the limit."
Ji Tailor muttered in the next room: "Well, I can still serve Rushi during her confinement."
Tao Guangming slapped his thigh and said, "That's settled then. I will apply for a house with the leaders of the mining area tomorrow. I think I can move in within half a month at the fastest and within a month at the latest."
Li Wenjun subconsciously said, "No, you don't want to. Tao Guangming, you don't want to."
-----
Li Wenjun thought Tao Guangming was joking, but Tao Guangming really went to get connections to rent a house in the mining area, claiming it was for the convenience of supervising Li Wenjun's "base station construction project."
Tao Guangming is now a person sent by the provincial government. The mining area dare not refuse, and they symbolically charge Tao Guangming 50 cents a month for rent. They rented a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment for him. It is located in the back row of Liu Cuihong's home and the front two rows of Li Wenjun's home.
To put it bluntly, Li Wenjun's house is so close that Tao Guangming can smell the food he cooks.
Zhao Lin didn't need Tao Guangming's instructions. He helped him set up the hot water heater and shower before he moved, and applied for a phone line and installed a telephone for him.
Li Changming gave a set of newly made bed, wardrobe, dressing table, dining table, and TV cabinet in the carpentry workshop to Tao Guangming.
As a result, Tao Guangming only needed to bring some clothes and personal belongings over.
Tao Guangming had many followers who helped him move his house in half a day. After the house was cleaned by the housekeeper, he moved in.
Li Wenjun felt a helpless and funny feeling, which was even more annoying than when he was being bothered by Wang Xiaolan years ago.
When Wang Xiaolan pestered him, he could ignore her. But when Tao Guangming went to their house to serve the dishes during dinner every day, he couldn't bear it.
What's more, Tao Guangming made Liu Cuihong extremely happy. He sent fresh, steaming eggs, good-quality young hens, and lively grass carp to her every day.
Li Wenjun couldn't refuse him. But he knew that Tao Guangming actually feels sorry for Ji Rushi and doesn't want her to live with her in-laws and older sister-in-law, feeling restricted. Even if the relationship is good, the two will have arguments.
When he wins, Ji Rushi feels wronged. When he loses, Tao Luyao and Tao Guanghui feel even worse.
Either way, it's not right, so it's better to live apart.
Moreover, now Ji Tailor and Gu Zhanyan are in the mining area, and Ji Rushi treats this place as her own home. Living here, Ji Rushi feels happy.
Tao Guangming finished his meal and strolled over with his hands behind his back, looking like an old man.
Li Wenjun, who was resting at the door, became angry as soon as he saw him and said, "You finished your meal early, and there's no food left."
Tao Guangming said, "Tsk tsk, look at you, so little ambition, acting like a child, as if you're afraid I'll come to your house and compete with you for food."
Li Wenjun laughed and said, "Are you even in a position to say that? You didn't come to my house to bring food today either."
Tao Guangming said: "Hehehe, I got takeout from the County Hotel today. Don't pretend you don't know, the braised duck you ate was the one I bought."
Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes: "You came all the way here, is it to calculate the money for the duck with me?"
Tao Guangming blew his beard and stared, "Am I the kind of person who is meticulous?"
Li Wenjun silently gave him an affirmative answer with his eyes.
Tao Guangming pursed his lips and changed the topic, "I heard that Tan Siniu is looking for connections everywhere to talk to you about the land. Guess what he will use as a bargaining chip to negotiate with you."
Li Wenjun said, "I can't guess."
Tao Guangming said, "You clever brain is turning, boldly make a guess."
Li Wenjun lowered his eyes and said, "Could it be that he wants to use land to exchange for me to plead for him to both of your families?"
Tao Guangming said, "Hey, yes, I knew you were so smart you could guess."
Li Wenjun smiled and said, "He overestimates me. I don't have that ability."
Tao Guangming said, "No, you do. It depends on whether you want to or not."
Li Wenjun shook his head: "I don't want to."
Tao Guangming: "You have been waiting for this opportunity for so long, are you willing to give up like this?"
Li Wenjun said: "He is about to lose actual control of this place, why should I waste time talking to him."
Tao Guangming: "What do you mean, I don't understand."
Li Wenjun: "It's okay if you don't understand now, you will understand soon."
Tao Guangming wanted to ask again, but in the end he closed his mouth.
Since Li Wenjun said he would understand very soon, then just wait.
In fact, what he worried about was that Li Wenjun would suddenly become confused and come to plead for Tan Siniu in order to get the piece of land.
If that's the case, both he and the Ji family will be in a difficult situation.
Fortunately, Li Wenjun has always been the most rational, intelligent, and savvy one.

The county public security bureau received a box of cassette tapes, which someone had packaged in a file bag and delivered to the reception room. The file bag was labeled, "Important evidence, please hand it over to the bureau chief."
Then the whole police station was on edge, and even the bomb disposal experts were called in. When they opened the box in the square, all they found was a cassette tape.
Director Xie and a few detectives from the criminal investigation department brought a tape recorder and sat down to listen to the evidence on the tape.
Then there was the sound of a conversation between two people.
The rest is okay, it's just the last two sentences that are the most explosive.
"What are you saying? I did something outrageous for you, drugged everyone, and now that you've got the job, you're going to kick me out."
"Don't get physical and don't talk nonsense. When did I tell you to drug him? It was all because you couldn't stand Li Wenjun's desire for revenge and did something bad. What does this have to do with me?"
This is clearly a dialogue between Yuan Deshi and Wang Yongding at the meeting room of Yi Zhong.
Director Xie suddenly understood who sent this cassette, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "When did this kid record the sound? If he recorded it, he didn't bring it out at that time. He waited until now to bring it out. He really is someone who knows how to choose the right timing to strike."
The reason for releasing Yuan Deshi at that time was that there was no concrete evidence to prove that it was Yuan Deshi who instructed Wang Yongding to administer the laxative. And Wang Yongding was also insane. Although Director Xie heard the conversation with his own ears, if you want to say there is no evidence, you can also say that there is no evidence.
