Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 176 You're a complete lunatic!

"That's right, it's not surprising that he has this plan."

Yang Shujue added, "As for his wife, it's even simpler."

Mothers all treat their sons like treasures, and no matter how disappointing their sons are, they are still the best in their hearts.

Besides, when you first went to the countryside, you were introverted and didn't like to talk. In other people's eyes, autism is also a disease, and they would be wary of patients from the bottom of their hearts.

How could Cheng Haifeng's mother possibly agree to let you marry her son?

Of course, she's trying to make you back down so her son can escape this predicament.

Think about it, isn't that the truth?

As for Cheng Haifeng's matter, it's actually not a big problem.

Cheng Haifeng was a disappointment, and Director Cheng wanted to change him by restricting his freedom and finding him a proper job, hoping that he could change his unreliable nature.

Isn't this normal for a father?

"In that case, it is indeed..."

Peng Shiyu paused for a moment, then laughed. "No wonder Uncle Cheng. He just wanted to discipline Cheng Haifeng. It was indeed a bit wrong of me to complain to him."

However, it was done through back channels..."

"You~"

Chen Xinyue couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you always think about this? It's perfectly normal to use connections, okay?"

"Is this normal?"

Upon hearing this answer, Peng Shiyu was stunned once again.

His gaze returned to Lin Jingyu, and he asked, "Jingyu, really?"

"real."

Lin Jingyu responded with absolute certainty, then asked in return, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Having connections in the court makes it easy to become an official; with the help of a benefactor, one can soar to great heights'?"

I believe everyone is familiar with this kind of talk, right?

Everyone present nodded.

These are words you often hear from elderly people.

The meaning is stated very clearly and thoroughly.

"In fact, our country has always valued personal connections. People with connections will do much better than ordinary people, no matter how bad their situation is."

Lin Jingyu looked at Peng Shiyu and said, "As I just said, there is not only right and wrong, black and white in the world, but also something called human feelings, relationships, bribes, and transactions."

The first two are relatively normal, while the latter two are illegal.

We have nothing to say about breaking the law; these people are courting death.

Let's talk about interpersonal relationships.

When you go to the countryside, your family is worried that you will be bullied, so they ask Director Cheng to take care of you. Is this a kind of relationship?

You and Shujue encountered Red Armband members in the county town and luckily found refuge at the Armed Forces Department. Would that be considered a favor?

If we hadn't known Minister Li, would you have been able to easily enter the Armed Forces Department?

The village chief and accountant came to us for help, asking Su Zhiqing and Cheng Haifeng to go with them to the He family to "seek justice." Was this considered a favor, or was it exploitation?

"In that sense, it really is about using personal connections and relationships."

Peng Shiyu isn't stupid; she's just young and hasn't experienced much.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has had autism since childhood.

As a result, her family didn't teach her these things much, so she lacked some knowledge in this area.

As for Liu Xiuying, it's normal that her background limited her perspective and thinking, so she couldn't think of these things.

Chen Xinyue and Mu Qiuyue are both clever girls raised by their families, so naturally they know these things.

As for the female lead, Yang Shujue, she's become even more cunning than a ghost after being exposed to the trials of the new century.

"So you don't need to worry about Director Cheng giving Cheng Haifeng special treatment."

Lin Jingyu pointed out the key point: "As long as Cheng Haifeng is not replacing someone else's spot, not harming anyone, and not stealing someone else's position, then what does it matter if he uses connections?"

"His father became the police chief, so can't you let him use that connection to reform his good-for-nothing son?"

"Sister Jingyu, I understand."

The slight hesitation in Peng Shiyu's heart finally disappeared.

"I'm telling you these things not to say that I support everyone using back channels."

Lin Jingyu explained again, "The path should be walked uprightly and in the right way."

Through these events, I want to tell you that such things can happen at any time. We should acknowledge their existence and learn to accept them.

"The meaning of 'poetic language' and 'Jingyu' is very simple."

Yang Shujue casually took over the topic, saying, "Ordinary people should walk the path of integrity and strive for everything through their own strength."

As for those with power and influence, why should they work themselves to the bone? With the protection and blessings of their elders, what's wrong with easily getting what they want?

This is called "one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade," benefiting future generations—it's all within the normal range.

...

They were gossiping here.

Su Jingtian was just about to return to the educated youth compound when he was unexpectedly blocked on the road.

"Teacher Su, please help me."

Liu Caidie burst into tears, "I really didn't mean to scare Officer Cheng. I caught the chicken to thank him, but I didn't expect to frighten him."

Teacher Su, I want to see him and say sorry to him.

Please take me to him, okay?

"You've got the wrong person. I don't have time."

Su Jingtian said expressionlessly, "You can find someone else to help you, or you can take a car to find someone yourself. I have other things to do."

"Teacher Su~"

Liu Caidie blocked his way again.

With a face full of sorrow and grief, she cried out, "I... I have no other choice. No one else is willing to help me. Teacher Su, you are the kindest and most compassionate person. I really have no other way but to ask you for help."

Teacher Su, you were willing to help me last time, could you please help me this time too?
