Chapter 164 Director Liang and Miao Yuan's Transaction
On the weekend, the family of three rode their bicycles to Zhou Su's home at Haishi Police Station.
Zhou Su was He Xu's comrade-in-arms. He had to retire due to an injury. After demobilization, he worked as a policeman in Haishi Chengzhong Police Station. Later, he was promoted to director because of his many contributions. He was only 30 years old.
The reason why He Xu was able to investigate the matter between Yang Cheng and Shi Bing was because of his help.
When Chen Tang heard that he adopted a baby girl and had two more children after getting married at the age of 26, he bought a can of malted milk and a pound of White Rabbit milk candy.
The compound where the Zhou family lives is full of high-rise buildings, and is filled with workers and leaders who work in the area.
There were quite a few people playing in the open space in the yard below, but the noise was also very loud, especially a group of people gathered in front of a red brick house not far away.
Zhou Su frowned and explained to He Xu and Shen Tang: "Mr. Miao is still in custody, his son was temporarily dismissed, his daughter-in-law ran away with his son, and Miao Yuan is the only one left in the Miao family who can take charge.
Logically speaking, the Miao family can still live in this house for a few days, waiting for the matter of Mr. Miao to be settled before seeing the result, but the newly appointed director of the Revolutionary Committee, Yao Jiye, is arrogant and can't wait to drive the Miao family out of the compound. He sends people to the Miao family to make trouble from time to time, and it should be the same today."
The people in the compound were also there to watch the fun, and everyone wanted to protect themselves, so naturally no one was willing to speak up for the Miao family. On the contrary, among the group of people watching the fun, there were many more who wanted to ridicule the Miao family than those who wanted to comfort them.
Chen Tang couldn’t see what was going on inside, and he had no interest in going to the Miao family to watch the fun.
The three of them entered the room. Zhou Su's wife washed her hands and came out of the kitchen to pour a glass of sugar water for them both.
He Xu and Zhou Su were talking, and Chen Tang was listening beside them.
Only then did he know that Zhou Su was He Xu's squad leader back then. The two had known each other since childhood. Zhou Su stayed in Hai City after retiring. He is actually a native of Kyoto.
After staying in Shen Tang's arms for a while, Xiao Hezhi couldn't stay idle anymore and started clamoring to go out.
When Zhou Su saw this, he asked his daughter Zhou Tingting to take Chen Tang out for a walk.
Most of the people from the Miao family had already left. From afar, one could see that the house was in a mess. Even the two trees outside had been trampled down. Miao Yuan's eyes were red. She was tidying up the room while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
There was no sign of her father. He might have gone into the house because he couldn't stand everyone's cursing.
"Miao Yuan is so pitiful. As soon as the news of her father's suspension and demotion came out, her mother ran away with her brother and took away all the family's money."
Zhou Tingting has a good impression of Miao Yuan.
She didn't know why Grandpa Miao was imprisoned, but it was too abominable that Mother Miao abandoned Miao Yuan and took her brother away.
The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky. This mother favors boys over girls, and it's bad enough that she doesn't even want a daughter. Her father is useless, so he has to let Miao Yuan, a girl who has just come of age, face the group of jackals and tigers in the Revolutionary Committee.
Shen Tang took one look and left in the opposite direction.
Zhou Tingting took her for a walk around the courtyard. The courtyard was circular and the path led back to the original place.
When the two of them walked back slowly, little Hezhi already had several more flowers and plants in his hands. He pouted his little mouth happily, shaking his little feet from time to time, and looking around with his big round eyes.
"Aunt, you can't let my little brother eat these flowers. You have to be careful. My little brother always likes to eat those unclean things. He had a stomachache all night long."
Zhou Tingting recalled that her brother cried until his voice became hoarse that night, and she instructed Chen Tang with lingering fear.
Chen Tang smiled and nodded her little head: "Okay, I'll watch it."
The two of them walked back, and they would stop when they passed by any flowers or plants they liked so that Xiao Hezhi could take a good look at them.
When they finally reached the door of their home, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"You know, I have nothing now. The deal between you and me is no longer valid. If you want a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, you might as well show some sincerity."
Zhou Tingting paused, and her ears pricked up.
Isn’t this Sister Miao Yuan’s voice?
At this time, another familiar voice came: "Who knows if your quota is still useful? Your grandfather has been arrested, and you will be demoted soon. Even if you have this quota, what can you do? Who can you sell it to? You can't get in yourself."
"Whether I can go or not has nothing to do with you. If you didn't want this spot, you wouldn't have come to me today. Here's the price: one thousand yuan, and the spot is yours."
When Director Liang heard her asking for such a high price, he sneered, "With one thousand yuan, I can buy a job. Why should I go to a useless university?"
She knew very well about her husband's nephew.
His grades are mediocre and he is not fit for college at all. He just pretends to be well-behaved on weekdays.
If her husband had not asked her son to give up his job opportunity in order to let his nephew stay in the city, and if he had not insisted on getting a university place after her rebuttal, she would not have been willing to have anything to do with the Miao family.
There are many people who go to college through backdoors these days. She transferred her husband's nephew's identity as a worker and then got a place to go to school. No one would investigate.
Thinking of this, Director Liang still felt a little uncomfortable. His own son was not destined to go to college, but a good place was given to an unrelated nephew.
Fortunately, her son had a good job and was assigned to a good technical position after graduating from secondary technical school.
Thinking of the 700 yuan she got from her husband's nephew's house, Director Liang said nonchalantly, "300 yuan."
By pressing the button, she could get four or five dollars, so it wasn't like her work was in vain.
"Impossible!" Miao Yuan's eyes widened and he lowered his voice: "Workers, peasants and soldiers can be assigned jobs after graduation. Where can you buy 300 yuan?"
This is a university place, which is even rarer than a job.
Director Liang was not in a hurry either. She was able to become the director of the Propaganda Department based on her own abilities, not only because of her strong abilities, but also because she was able to see through people's hearts.
“I don’t know who is protecting you behind the scenes, making this university place still valid, but if you can’t get in, can you sell it to someone else?
Think about it, everyone is avoiding you now, who would be willing to do business with you?"
Miao Yuan's eyes were cold, and she pursed her lips: "Then I would rather let it rot in my hands than give it to you. Director Liang, you should be anxious to get this quota, right?"
Director Liang's eyebrows softened instantly, and his round eyes looked extremely gentle: "Xiao Yuan, after all, we have worked together before, so let's take a step back. How do you think about 500 yuan?"
Miao Yuan's voice hasn't been heard for a long time.
Chen Tang and Zhou Tingting looked at each other, and the two of them quietly moved away from the small corner.
However, before leaving, she still heard Miao Yuan's voice agreeing.
"make a deal."
"Director Liang, you are so good at pretending. You have fooled those people in the Propaganda Department, right?"
Chen Tang didn't hear what Director Liang said, and only after he walked away did he and Zhou Tingting breathe a sigh of relief.
The little girl was smart and knew that there were some things that she couldn't listen to or say, but she was curious and was about to ask who the person Chen Tang and Miao Yuan were talking about was when she saw someone walking quickly behind her.
