Just like that, a few more days passed. Lin Chuan went to see Shi Houcai several times to discuss the mountain excavation contract. Although the contract had already been signed, the specific details had not been implemented, so Shi Houcai was still needed.
Shi Houcai had just lost his son. A few more wrinkles appeared on his face, and with his wife crying herself hoarse every day, he hadn't been able to rest well lately.
"Uncle Houcai, Uncle Houcai... Is Uncle Houcai home?"
On this day, Shi Rongguang's mother had just finished a bout of sobbing and was staring blankly while lying in bed. Shi Houcai was sitting in the living room, deep in thought, when he heard someone calling for him outside.
He stood up and went outside to see it was Xiao Feng from the village, who was the committee's accountant. He wondered why the guy was visiting him now.
"Xiao Feng, come in and take a seat," Shi Houcai said with a smile, inviting him inside.
