"Ye Qing, what are your plans?" the village secretary asked with a smile. In reality, he didn't want Ye Qing to get involved. After all, he knew what kind of people Ye Qing's uncle and aunt were. Putting aside personal grudges, if Ye Qing's uncle caused trouble with Ye Qing over money, it would be a problem if the coal mine couldn't continue operating.
Ye Qing picked up the document again and looked at it. It contained a little over 40,000 but less than 50,000 yuan, but at this time it was definitely a huge sum of money.
So this means the village's coal mine is still profitable. If it's profitable, why would Xi Quan sell it?
Ye Qing remained cautious: "Is this coal mine no longer profitable? Otherwise, why would it have been sold?"
“Don’t talk nonsense, kid. Quickly spit it out! Our village’s coal mine is a gold mine,” the village party secretary said.
Xi Quan laughed: "It's profitable, but I have a more profitable project. I'm short of money right now, so I'm thinking of selling this coal mine."
More profitable than a coal mine?
Ye Qing didn't know what it was, but looking at Xi Quan's clothes, he was clearly out of place in the village. He had only been gone for a few years, though it was possible that his mother had helped him.
But this also shows that he must have made money, and in order to get rid of this place forever, Ye Qing said, "Then sell it, just give me the money that is rightfully mine."
Xi Quan clapped his hands, signaling his lawyer to hand the documents to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing thought that the scene she only saw on TV was actually happening to her. The word "lawyer" sounded impressive.
After signing, Xi Quan had the village secretary sign as well, and then said, "Let's go, let's go to the town now. The credit union is still open. Once we get the money, we'll be even."
The village party secretary gestured for the accountant to follow Xi Quan.
After taking a few steps, Xi Quan saw Ye Qing's belongings and asked, "Where are you going? Should I see you off?"
Having wasted a little time, and missing the last bus to the county town, Ye Qing, not afraid of Xi Quan with so many people around, took her things and followed Xi Quan.
When Ye Qing saw Xi Quan's car, a car she had only ever seen on television, she felt once again that she should leave this small village.
Seeing Ye Qing's eyes light up as he looked at his SUV, Xi Quan smiled and said, "You like it? Then you should think about how to make money from it."
"Of course, you don't need to tell me." Ye Qing proudly raised his head.
Xi Quan was taken aback, looking at Ye Qing's proud appearance. Her ponytail was blowing in the wind, and she looked both delicate and dashing in the sunset!
Xi Quan's heart suddenly started racing.
Ye Qing didn't notice Xi Quan's expression. After getting into the car, she and the accountant sat in the back seat. She heard the accountant exchanging pleasantries with Xi Quan: "Xi Quan, Xu Ying... you know the Xu family is troublesome. Xu Daye, the eldest son of the Xu family, used to be the village party secretary. Now that the coal mine has been sold to the village, will there be any trouble?"
Fearing Xi Quan wouldn't understand, the accountant thought for a moment and then said, "I saw on TV that when couples divorce, they have to divide their money, you..."
Ye Qing suddenly became very curious about this issue as well. She wasn't curious about whether the coal mine would cause trouble in the future, but rather about Xi Quan's current relationship with Xu Ying...
"Don't worry, Xu Ying and I got divorced this morning." Xi Quan said, taking out a green divorce certificate from his pocket.
Seeing this, the accountant breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qing didn't know why, but she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
After driving for a while, Xi Quan wanted to smoke. He took a cigarette out of the pack and was about to light it when he saw Ye Qing subconsciously cover her nose in the rearview mirror. Xi Quan was startled, put down the match, and put the cigarette back in the pack.
Upon arriving in town, after settling the money matters at the credit union, the accountant left on his own.
Xi Quan asked Ye Qing, "What are you going to do?"
Although Xi Quan was divorced, it was getting dark, and it wasn't safe for her to go with two men. She used to attend junior high school in town, and Ye Qing knew the town well. Plus, she had money now, so she wasn't afraid of sleeping on the streets. Ye Qing told Xi Quan to go and not to worry about her.
Xi Quan wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, and what had happened before was already the limit. Since Ye Qing had said so, he didn't insist.
Late August (Gregorian calendar).
Schools are about to reopen.
Ye Qing works at a tailor shop outside the north gate of Nancheng University. There are three or four customers in the shop, one of whom is holding a dog. Unlike the local dogs Ye Qing has seen, this one has curly fur.
Another young woman who worked with her in the shop said, "Don't underestimate this dog. It's a pet. People in the city cherish it. It's more precious than people."
As they were talking, the dog suddenly jumped onto the cutting board, and Ye Qing's hand trembled, causing the scissors to veer slightly.
The little girl who was talking to her just now let out a cry of "Ouch!"
Hearing the shout, Zhang Jie, the owner of the tailor shop, looked over, as did the three or four customers she was chatting with.
Seeing that Ye Qing had cut the fabric off-center, Sister Zhang's expression immediately changed: "Ye Qing, what happened? Do you know what kind of material this is? Do you know how much it costs per meter? How could you cut it off-center?"
One of the female customers picked up the troublesome dog and said to Sister Zhang with an arrogant expression, "Sister Zhang, we came to your shop because we value your cooking skills..."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's on me if the fabric gets damaged."
Ye Qing muttered under her breath, "The dog suddenly jumped over and touched my hand..."
"Sister Zhang, you're saying you don't like my dog. My Nao Nao is a very well-behaved dog."
No sooner had the customer finished speaking than a male voice came from the doorway: "I heard your voice as soon as I walked in. You really are something."
These words were spoken to the client, but before the client could say anything, Ye Qing recognized the person who had come—it was Xi Quan.
Xi Quan also saw Ye Qing and raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing here?"
"Of course we're here to have our clothes made. Sister Zhang's skill in making cheongsams is top-notch. Don't let the small shop fool you, her craftsmanship is a family tradition."
However, Xi Quan completely ignored the woman holding the dog and kept staring at Ye Qing: "I'm asking you, what are you doing here? You must have a lot of money, right? Are you working here?"
"You two know each other?" Sister Zhang quickly spoke up after hearing Xi Quan's words. "This is Ye Qing. She works in our store to earn pocket money. She is a freshman in the Fashion Design Department of Nancheng University. She is very clever at work."
Sister Zhang's introduction surprised Xi Quan. "You've really changed a lot in just three days! It hasn't been a month since we parted ways, and you've suddenly become a college student?"
Although Xi Quan's words were true, they sounded somewhat ambiguous to outsiders.
The female customer holding the dog, in particular, was no longer as picky as before. She nudged Xi Quan's arm and said, "Hey, who's this? Is she your ex-wife? She's so beautiful! How could you bear to divorce her?"
"Your brains have been eaten by dogs!" Xi Quan suddenly became very angry. He didn't know why he particularly disliked people putting Ye Qing and Xu Ying together and saying, "She's only in college, how can she get married! She's from the same village as me."
