The village chief put away the smile on his face and said quite seriously, "The cost of goods has risen a lot recently, and it will cost a lot of labor in the village to build this dam, and there may be engineering trucks and the like in the future," the village chief saw that his wife's face seemed to be a little impatient, so he immediately reported a figure that he had already thought of, "I think it should be needed, two million." ”

The village chief stretched out two fingers in the direction of his wife, and while saying the huge number, Lin Yu noticed that the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

Damn, it costs two million to build such a dam? Lin Yu secretly cursed in his heart, the so-called dam in front of him was just a simple mound of dirt in his eyes, and the village chief saw that his wife was driving a tens of millions of Rolls-Royce, and he obviously opened his mouth to her.

"Two million?" said the lady lightly, in fact, such a number was nothing in her eyes, after all, the box of platinum caviar she bought was twice the price. It's just that Madame has just seen the magnificent decoration of the village chief's house, and there is no problem for her to donate money to build the dam, and Madame doesn't want most of her money to go into the village chief's pocket.

"Yes, I asked the township for so much funding, but this project has not been approved for a long time," the village chief showed an embarrassed expression, "You see they build the dam here every day, and they have no way to do farm work, if the dam is not repaired before the late rice is planted, the villagers' food will be a problem at the end of the year." ”

Although the village chief kept telling about his difficulties, the lady still showed a somewhat disdainful smile on her face, such a project requires the township to allocate two million, if it is really approved, it will be abnormal. In fact, for the lady at that time, money was something outside the body, and it was something she couldn't take away. She still has a lot of inheritance to deal with, and being able to help the village repair the dam for just two million can be regarded as a good deed before she died. But the lady who has always been shrewd will not be led by the nose by the village chief like this.

"Do you really know Zhou Shan's whereabouts?" Madame did not agree directly, but asked another question. Since the meeting just now, the village chief has not answered positively, but has taken Zhou Shan's whereabouts as a weight in his hand, and talked about donating money to the village. Madame now needs to clarify whether the village chief really knows where Zhou Shan lives now.

Ming people don't say secret words, the village chief heard his wife's question, and knew that it was time to show his hole cards at the negotiation table, and he replied with great certainty, "Brother Dashan did tell me where he moved, if you want to find him, I can tell you the address now." ”

Madame's heart was completely relieved, she was still able to find her brother after all, although the cost was a little greater, but this was already the best news she had heard in these days.

Madame tried her best to make her expression appear calm, so as not to let the village chief catch more handles, she said indifferently, "I can donate to the village, the amount is one million, if it is really not enough, you need to figure out the rest yourself." Madame discounted the village chief's offer, and in her opinion, one million was enough to repair the dam.

The village chief immediately nodded reluctantly, and said, "Okay, I'll try to reduce some unnecessary expenses, and besides, the place where Brother Dashan lives now is..."

Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the village, and when she passed the wooden house where Madame once lived, Madame's eyes were still reluctant to look over, because she knew in her heart that this glance should be the last in her life.

The driver slowed down the speed of the car at the right time, but soon heard the lady instruct, "Let's go, try to get to the county seat before dinner." ”

According to the information revealed by the village chief, in fact, the place where Zhou Shan moved to the county seat to which this mountain village belongs, perhaps because people are old and can't do farm work, Zhou Shan moved to the county seat about ten years ago to live with his children.

When Mrs. heard the word "children" from the mouth of the village chief, her heart still contracted slightly, and her brother had indeed married and had children a long time ago, unlike herself, he was a lonely person, and he should be very happy in his old age to live with his children, right? Madame turned her head to look out the car window, thinking silently, she considered that her appearance might disturb her brother's life, after all, he already had a family and a house full of children and grandchildren.

So Madame instructed the driver to drive as fast as possible, usually dinner is when the family is reunited, the adults have come back from work, the children have also finished school, Madame can imagine the scene of the elder brother's family sitting together and having dinner happily. She didn't want to spoil the atmosphere because of herself, after all these years, she was just a complete stranger to her brother and his family.

If my brother knew that he had spent a million to buy his address, what would he do? Thinking of this, Madame smiled slightly, for some reason she spent such a sum of money on her brother, Madame felt that it was more meaningful than buying a box of rare white gold caviar.

After about an hour, the Rolls-Royce drove into the urban part of the county, and since neither the lady nor the driver knew the location of the county seat, it took a lot of effort to find the place that the village chief had mentioned.

When Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a residential building, the lady realized that her brother might not be living as well as she thought, because the house in front of her was not a commercial community, and there was no greenery around it, but a self-built building on the side of the street. From the outside, the buildings already look a little dilapidated, most of the exposed red bricks have turned black, and various wires are haphazardly shuttling between the buildings.

Brother, do you live in this kind of place? Madame said to herself, she felt that the scene she saw in front of her was far from what she imagined, Madame thought that Zhou Shan must have moved from the mountain village to the city to enjoy happiness with his children, but the actual situation did not seem to be the case.

The village chief told them that Zhou Shan's home was on the top floor of this building, but obviously there would be no elevator in such a house, Lin Yu silently counted it, and the top floor was on the sixth floor, so he asked his wife, "Shall I go up and have a look first?" Lin Yu knew that his wife's current body could not withstand the toss, and climbing the sixth floor was definitely a big challenge for her.

But Madame shook her head indifferently, "Their family lives together, there must be someone at home, let's go up directly." ”
