“Alright, everyone quiet down. I have one more thing to say...”
Director Wang called out, and the crowd, who had been whispering among themselves, instantly fell silent, their eyes all focused on her.
Under the gaze of everyone in the courtyard, Director Wang didn't beat around the bush.
A hint of displeasure flickered in her eyes as she swept her gaze over the crowd before speaking:
“I don't care what you all have planned, I can let bygones be bygones for now...”
“But if anything else happens in this courtyard before Xiao Fan goes to the countryside, don't blame me for settling old scores and new ones together...”
Her gaze shifted, landing on Lin Fan. She then spoke, her tone filled with concern:
“Xiao Fan, if anything else happens, come to the street office and find me. I'll personally handle it...”
“Also, I've already reported your going to the countryside. You'll get the results within three days...”
“Thank you, Auntie Wang...”
Seeing Director Wang going out of her way for him, Lin Fan's heart was filled with a wave of gratitude.
“Just come to me if you need anything...”
Director Wang patted Lin Fan's shoulder, then turned without further delay and walked away.
“Auntie Wang, let me see you out...” Lin Fan didn't hesitate, immediately following her.
He walked with her outside the courtyard. She pointed at the huge sum of money in Lin Fan's hand, gesturing him not to accompany her any further.
Lin Fan nodded slightly, saying: “Then Auntie Wang, take care on your way...”
He watched as Director Wang’s figure disappeared from his sight, and then turned back to the courtyard.
He saw everyone in the courtyard staring at him.
“Humph...”
Lin Fan coldly snorted, his figure not pausing for a second.
He acted as if there was something unclean on these people, as if he were afraid of getting contaminated.
Once Lin Fan disappeared from their sight, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but mutter under her breath:
“A little bastard who's cursed to lose his parents. He's going to the countryside anyway. What does he need all this money for...”
Shua, Shua, Shua
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's curse, everyone's eyes turned towards her.
Although they had been neighbors for decades and knew her character, they couldn't help but feel a surge of disdain when they saw her muttering.
She should look at herself!
If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai, the hypocrite, and Sha Zhu, the courtyard's warrior, as her protectors,
With Jia Zhangshi's shameless behavior, she would have been sent back to the countryside long ago!
While most people in the courtyard couldn't stand Jia Zhangshi, she was protected by influential figures.
Whether it was Yi Zhonghai, the hypocrite, or Sha Zhu, the courtyard's warrior, they were not people to be easily offended.
If they were targeted, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Thinking this, everyone secretly shook their heads and dispersed, each going back to their own homes.
Regardless of these people's thoughts, Lin Fan returned to his own home and waved his hand, storing the money he had just obtained into his storage space.
With a thought, he entered the Myriad Realms Garbage Dump.
“I wonder what kind of ‘garbage’ I'll get next...”
Looking at the Myriad Realms Garbage Dump, which seemed to be frozen in time, Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim in anticipation.
Then, without further ado, he began processing the beast meat.
For three days, apart from resting and practicing the Great Strength Bull Demon Fist, Lin Fan spent most of his time processing the beast meat.
However, even so, he had only managed to braise a few hundred kilograms of beast meat.
Thankfully, the items stored in the storage space were unaffected.
They remained the same when taken out as they were when stored.
In particular, the several hundred kilograms of braised beast meat, when taken out of the storage space, still emitted a hint of heat, as if they had just been cooked.
Three days later, Lin Fan received news about his assignment to the countryside.
Thanks to Director Wang's connections, Lin Fan's destination was a mountainous area called Koushan Tun outside the Great Wall, located in the foothills of the Greater Khingan Range.
Lin Fan also learned that his departure date was coincidentally also three days later!
Upon learning this, Lin Fan had to temporarily withdraw from the space and start purchasing various daily necessities.
It took him a whole day to exchange all his tickets for various supplies.
Cigarettes, alcohol, tea, sugar, and many other items, although diverse in variety, were meager in quantity.
In this era, everything needed tickets to buy.
Lin Fan was just an ordinary person, his parents were just ordinary workers in the steel mill.
They had saved some money and tickets, but most of the items they could buy with each ticket were limited to only half a kilogram or a kilogram.
To this end, Lin Fan even went to the black market to buy some tickets.
In the end, he only had one thousand yuan left and some ration coupons for emergencies before he finally stopped.
