Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Worth the New Life
There is little entertainment in this era, and anything slightly exciting can reach thousands of households like snowflakes in winter.
Especially since this incident involved gold, naked bodies, red armbands, and old landlords, and although no one died, it was still just as bizarre.
As expected, Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi, who are never late, were both late today.
But their respective factory leaders did not punish them. At most, Wang Lai Di's leader pretended to scold them a few times, but his main purpose was to inquire about the news and get first-hand gossip.
"I heard something happened in your hospital?"
"Is there a guy named Niu in your courtyard who was stripped naked and lying on gold?"
"I heard that there's a guy named Niu in your hospital who got into trouble with the G Committee and was taken to the police station?"
Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidie felt ashamed at first, after all, in this era, collective honor is the most important thing.
If someone commits a crime in the same alley and courtyard, it may have a complete impact on the reputation of their courtyard, their alley, and even the machinery factory. In recent years, there is definitely no chance for their factory staff to be awarded the title of Red Flag Model or Five Good Families.
No matter how ashamed they were, they became numb to being asked this question a hundred or eighty times a day and having to repeat the answer a hundred or eighty times. They still had to explain frequently that the Ye family and the Niu family had no dealings in the past, and that they had conflicts with the Niu family's boy who stole things.
Another day passed, and the truth was still unknown, but the rumor changed drastically after being spread by N people.
The man in blue uniform came twice again. The head of the Niu family was sent back, but Daniu was detained in the police station and not released. I heard that he and that group of people would be sentenced and sent to the most difficult and tiring farm to open up wasteland. It is possible that he will never come back.
The Niu family was also greatly affected and was labeled as the "five black categories" that they once despised the most.
All the temporary jobs of the family members were lost, and the regular jobs were transferred to carry manure. If it weren't for the fact that their head of the family was smart and spent all his savings and favors, and used his connections to quickly publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with Da Niu, the situation might have been even worse than it is now.
There are actually people in their family who sympathize with them.
After seeing how Old Lady Niu treated her only granddaughter in a way that was only worse than what she thought after losing her grandson, it is still possible to express sympathy. One can only say that these people are blind and have evil hearts.
No matter what, despite spending so much manpower and effort, the Public Security Bureau still failed to find the murderer.
They mainly focus on two aspects: one is to rob the robbers, and the other is to take revenge on the people they robbed. Both of these speculations are not completely wrong.
Some people noticed the murderer's advanced martial arts skills and strong mentality, and guessed that he was a spy.
This is not a complete guess. The Ye Kingdom has been established for less than 20 years. During this period, there are many spies and secret agents in the country, including remnants, foreigners, defectors, and those who take advantage of the situation. There are all kinds of them.
Because they suspected the secret agents, the higher-ups took it very seriously. They didn't want to see a team of secret agents lurking around in the city. What if they harmed someone they shouldn't? Wouldn't that cause chaos throughout the country?
So the reaction from above was to do their utmost to catch the enemy. Under strict professional investigation, all the evil things that Da Niu and others had done over the years were uncovered one by one.
There is no doubt that criminal trials await them.
The Red Sleeves Army team, like Da Niu and his friends, also suffered a serious blow. Not only were many prominent teenagers caught as examples and taken away for reform or sent to the countryside, but the remaining volunteer teams were also forced to disband.
Not only that, Damao and his men also successfully bit out the people above them, Triangle Eyes, and pulled out one black-hearted person after another. Many people who had become rich by reporting robbery and looting were finally brought down.
The spies actually caught one or two gangs, which was a pleasant surprise.
The wind direction in the city has cleared up a lot.
Also, because Sijiu City was the capital, the colonel was under imitation, and this wave of purges spread across the country. Although we cannot expect that every corner will usher in the light, it did affect the fate of a few people and saved some people who were about to or would be unlucky.
The above has little to do with Ye Yu. They are all things that happened after she left Yanjing City. But if she knew about these butterfly effects, she would definitely be happy for these unexpected follow-up good things. Does this count as contributing her own small strength to this era?
It’s worth it for this new life 1.0.
These are all things that happened later. Now, as the day of going to the countryside is getting closer, the atmosphere in the Ye family is inevitably filled with a sense of sadness of parting.
The most relaxed person in the family might be Ye Yu, the person involved. Even the youngest, Ye Weiguo, felt a little reluctant, although he didn't show it.
Wang Lai Di was helping Ye Yu sew clothes.
Ye Yu tried to learn from the side, but he only roughly, maybe, possibly understood it with his eyes, but his hands were still a little disabled, especially because he lacked the important part of cutting by the machine that Wang Lai Di borrowed from the textile factory. He was very unconfident about being able to do it himself in the future.
So he sincerely suggested: "Mom, can you make the clothes a little bigger? I'm still growing!"
Wang Lai Di hissed.
Because they were together every day, she really didn't notice it. Now that she was reminded, she suddenly realized that her daughter had grown half a head taller in less than half a month. The height of her husband and wife was not short in this era, but not tall either. How come her third daughter grew so fast?
If you don't understand, don't think about it. Wang Lai Di said with a look of disgust: "No wonder you eat so much. If you grow taller and exceed 1.7 meters, you will never be able to get married."
What?
There is such a good thing!
Wouldn’t that mean he must be 1.8 meters tall?
"Hey."
Ye Yu scratched his head.
Wang Lai Di added a few inches to her clothes and pants. Fortunately, she first sewed new clothes from old ones, so there was enough fabric and it was not a big deal. When Ye Yu grew taller, she would remove the hidden threads, stretch the folded clothes, and wear them.
"It's sewn. Try it on."
"Wow, Mom, you have such a skillful hand." Since they were in their own room, Ye Yu took the clothes and pants and put them on.
To be honest, the clothes of this era are a bit rustic when viewed from the perspective of future generations. Even the imitations of ancient styles have fine-tuned details. In addition, the clothes are cut too large and not close-fitting at all. But they look good on people. They look like a piece of linen, which is not good-looking but definitely not ugly.
Ye Yu is not only good-looking, but also has a well-proportioned figure. She is also self-aware of her beauty. She took a small mirror and looked up and down, then shamelessly boasted: "The clothes are beautiful and I am even more beautiful. When I wear this, I am as beautiful as a fairy."
"Pfft!" Wang Lai Di had never seen such a narcissistic person before. She burst into laughter and rolled her eyes at her. Even though she thought her daughter was really good, she still wanted to criticize her. "You, you think you're a fairy? Whatever you wear will ruin your clothes."
“Hmph.”
Ye Yucai didn't believe it.
Wang Lai Di went to make the remaining clothes. With the first sample, making the clothes later was much easier. Besides, these clothes had already been processed on the sewing machine borrowed from the factory, and Ye Yu could also help with some button sewing.
In addition to clothes, the two pairs of cloth shoes should also be made wider to leave more space for padding with insoles.
Ye Yu's feet are also growing taller. Her old size 36 cloth shoes are now full. It won't be long before her thumb will poke out.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mom, you can leave those old rubber shoes at home. If I wear them, they might get broken."
"Okay," Wang Lai Di nodded. Her feet were half an inch smaller than Ye Yu's, so she thought it wouldn't be a waste to wear them herself. She added, "I'll go to Auntie's and see if I can borrow a ticket. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy a new pair."
Ye Yu refused: "No need to go through so much trouble."
"What trouble! You haven't been in the countryside for long, so you don't know that cloth shoes can basically only be worn at home in the countryside. Although you can use straw sandals when working in the fields, you can't wear straw sandals when you occasionally go out to town, right? What's the difference between you and the rough men in the countryside?" Wang Lai Di felt reluctant when she thought of the hardships her daughter might have to endure in the future. She couldn't help but imagine her daughter turning into a dirty, dark farmer.
Ye Yu:
...Not really.
After humans mutated in the apocalypse, their black and white appearance depended entirely on their innate genes. If they were exposed to the sun at temperatures exceeding 50°C every day for two days, they would return to their original appearance. Her innate genes meant she had no chance of being black, and her tan wouldn't last for more than three days.
The shoes that Wang Lai Di was worried about were not very important. In fact, it was not a bad idea to go barefoot.
Besides, Ye Yu can afford shoes, not to mention rubber shoes, leather shoes and sandals will do.
Because of the previous robbery, she is now definitely a rich person, richer than all the people in their alley combined.
Even though the gold, silver and jade in the space can only be stored for ten years, there are still a lot of banknotes that can be used in this era. It’s just that the Niu family’s affairs have caused a lot of uproar in the city, so it’s not easy to take out the things in the space and use them now. I will wait until I get to the countryside after a while and then see what happens.
Seeing that Wang Lai Di was still frowning, Ye Yu quickly changed the subject, smiling and acting coquettishly: "Mom, you really love me."
“You!”
When Wang Lai Di heard this, she felt even more guilty. She knew that it was not necessary for her second daughter to go to the countryside like this. She just needed to give her the job, but... it still wouldn't work.
These days, she and Ye Hongjun have been discussing this over and over again at night. They must keep a child by their side to take care of them in their old age. Their daughters must be married off, just like their eldest and second daughters. They can only feel sorry for their youngest daughter who is "still ignorant" and "naive". Alas, it is all her fault as a mother for letting her down.
“???”
Ye Yu didn't understand why Wang Lai Di was sighing. Aren't they just rubber shoes? Buy them!
Another day passed.
On the night before going to the countryside, Ye Hongjun took out a hundred yuan from his pocket after dinner and gave it to Ye Yu, saying, "Your elder sister and second sister's dowries are also this amount. I'm giving it to you in advance. Don't be extravagant. Spend it wisely."
To be honest, if Ye Yu hadn't been extravagant before, the money wouldn't have been taken out today. It might have been given to Ye Xing before she got married.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Having said that, Ye Yu readily took it and just waited to come back during the next Spring Festival to bring back more "prey".
The next morning, at daybreak, elder sister Ye Xing came back and went to the countryside with Ye Hongjun and others to send Ye Yu.
If Ye Lan hadn't gone south with Zhao Qinggang after her wedding, there would have been one or two more people here today.
These days, people carry a lot of bags when they go out.
Ye Yu had three packages in total, two large ones and one slightly smaller one. She could definitely carry all three by herself, but of these three packages, two were tied together and carried by Ye Hongjun, and one was being carried by Ye Zhongguo.
