Chapter 71
"Qingqing, you don't know, I was almost scared to death! The Zhou family was covered in blood, and the smell even rushed into my house!"
Ning Pingying's teeth were chattering, his face was pale, and he was terrified.
Tang Qingqing was surprised, yet felt that it was predictable.
Shen Hewei himself is a patient and cannot withstand any stimulation.
The Zhou family is getting more and more arrogant. At the beginning, they still cared about their reputation, but later they got used to it and became more and more shameless.
Wang Heizi told her that Lu Xiang had a lot more money on hand because of the trouble he had with the Shen family.
Before Shen Hewei got into trouble, the Shen family was still relatively tough, but after it was confirmed that it was Shen Hexian who did it, the Shen family became completely depressed.
Having raised such a daughter who even harmed her own son and father, Director Shen took the initiative to resign without anyone saying anything.
Mother Shen also resigned from her union job, unable to accept the fact that she had raised such a vicious child.
They feel that there is something wrong with their education. They can't even manage their own family like this, so how can they manage everyone else?
They did not respond to the Zhou family's difficulties as tough as usual, but responded with a negative attitude.
Shen Hewei was so angry that he could no longer tolerate it, because the Zhou family not only made Shen's father and mother faint from anger, but also went so far as to harass Shen Hexian's two children.
"Although I didn't like that family before, they were pretty normal to us. I didn't expect them to be so shameless! What does it have to do with the children if the adults do something wrong? They can't get anything good out of it, so they pick on the children. It's really wicked!"
Originally, because of their own mother's accident, the two children were ostracized at school. After this incident, they could no longer stay in the school.
So Shen Hewei went crazy and went straight to Zhou's house with a knife.
We had agreed on a time to deliver money to the Zhou family that day, so all the Zhou family members, including Lu Xiang, were there that day.
Because they were talking about serious matters, the children were sent away and they escaped.
Because the incident happened suddenly, no one reacted in time, and the house was small.
Shen Hewei took out the knife again, and the Zhou family members didn't have time to react, and then they were stabbed.
"Originally, the injury shouldn't have been so serious. After all, Shen Hewei is just one person, and he's not a big, strong man. There are so many people in the Zhou family. As a result, each member of the family is more frightened than the other, and they don't care about family affection at all. When they saw Shen Hewei pulling out a knife to chop someone, not only did they not think about fighting together, they also threw the opponent out to block the knife.
Each of them had no regard for family ties at all. They would push others away as soon as there was someone around them, thinking that others would take the lead so that they could run away in the chaos, for fear that they would get hurt if they tried to resist. As a result, some people who could have escaped were pushed into Shen Hewei's knife by their relatives, and the whole family was chopped to death.
After being hacked, they still blamed each other. You don't know what happened that day. People were almost hacked to death, but they didn't blame the person who hacked them. They blamed each other for hurting themselves."
As the incident happened suddenly, no one knew what was going on inside, and the door was blocked so no one could get in.
But the Zhou family members cursed and blamed each other, and eventually everyone knew what was going on.
Now everyone in the match factory is laughing at the Zhou family. When their daughter passed away, they were not sad at all and were even smug and felt like they had gained something from it. No decent person would tolerate this.
Even those who loved their sons more were rarely so cold-blooded, and they all condemned the Zhou family for being unkind.
But the Zhou family has received so many benefits that they have become thick-skinned, so who would say they are just jealous?
"Shen Hewei was caught, right?"
Ning Pingying said: "After he chopped the man down, he passed out."
This incident once again caused a sensation in the commune, and the Zhou family suffered a great loss. Although no one lost their life, the injuries were serious. Many people had their internal organs poked, and even if they recovered, they would still suffer from chronic diseases.
The Zhou family spent a lot of money on the treatment, and all the money they had previously received from the Shen family was spent on it. This led to another round of wrangling, quarrels every day, and complaints against each other. There was no peace at all.
Because of the serious injury, he could no longer continue his previous job and was sent to sit on the bench.
The performance of the match factory has been getting worse in recent years, the wages are already low, and they have been injured due to personal reasons. Changing jobs will only make it more difficult.
The Shen family had nothing to compensate, so Shen Hexian's husband took the children and left the Red Star Commune. Moreover, it was Shen Hewei who hurt people, and it had nothing to do with their family.
Although Director Shen had been the factory director for many years, he was an honest man and therefore did not have much savings.
A lot of money had been spent on Shen Hewei's medical treatment, and now they have lost their jobs. Even if the Zhou family wants compensation from these two old men and women, it won't be much.
At this moment they no longer dared to be as arrogant as before. Who knew what the old man and the old woman would do if they went crazy.
This family has nothing now and may go crazy at any time.
Shen Hewei stabbed so many people, the most serious of which left them disabled, but he was not held criminally responsible.
Because after he fainted, he became demented when he woke up and had no response to the outside world.
If he is not fed on time or taken to the toilet, he will poop right down on his pants.
He rarely spoke and looked dazed.
The doctor couldn't figure out what was going on. He estimated that the previous brain injury had not healed completely, and the blood clot inside had stimulated and compressed the nerves, causing dementia.
The medical conditions in the commune were limited, and it was impossible to find out the specific situation.
Tang Qingqing was very surprised when she heard the news: "Why are you so stupid?"
"Who knows?" Ning Pingying also thought this was bizarre. "But compared to being executed, being stupid at least saved his life, and the old couple also had something to think about."
Although the Zhou family was unwilling, they had no choice but to accept this reality.
This case caused a sensation and became the most frequently mentioned topic among people after dinner.
But no matter what happens, life will go on as usual, and soon the impact of this incident will gradually fade away.
Tang Qingqing was also very sad, but soon put the matter behind her.
The girl who once had a sweet smile is now hidden deep in my heart.
Sometimes when she thinks back on it, she can't help but sigh at the impermanence of life, which makes her cherish her present life even more.
After this case, Tang Qingqing seldom asked for leave to go to the Public Security Bureau to help. The Public Security Bureau also knew that she was now in the third year of junior high school and called her less often than before.
Soon a semester passed, and Tang Qingqing, with her unremitting efforts, once again ranked first in the grade.
After the holiday, Tang Qingqing went home and took the award certificate and prizes to visit Old Liu first.
Old Liu still looks the same as before, and in fact looks younger than before because he eats well now.
After Wang Heizi entered junior high school, he expanded his network of contacts in the town and began to frequently visit the commune.
Every time I returned from the commune, I would bring back a lot of good things.
He didn't dare bring these things home, fearing that he would be questioned, so he sent them to Old Liu's house.
Old Liu, Wang Heizi and Tao Dazhuang, the cooking skills of the three are not that good, they can just cook well, but the ingredients are so good that the three of them still have rosy faces after eating.
Tang Qingqing was very happy to see Old Liu like this, and she hoped very much that her master would be healthy and live a long life.
Old Liu looked at the award certificate that Tang Qingqing brought back and stroked it with great care. Although he could not understand the words on it, he was very happy.
"Master, you and Tao Dazhuang are getting along well now. Why don't you move down and live with Tao Dazhuang?"
Old Liu glared at her: "This is my home, I'm not going anywhere!"
"We can keep this for a while. When Wang Heizi and the others are not around, you can stay at Tao Dazhuang's house for a few days."
What Tang Qingqing was most worried about was that Old Liu lived alone halfway up the mountain, and there was no one around. If anything happened to him, no one would know.
Although Old Liu is in better spirits now, he is old after all.
The roads nearby are very uneven, and if you accidentally fall, it will be a big trouble.
What the elderly fear most is falling. Some of them were in good health and could carry 100 kilograms of food with great speed, but if they accidentally fall, they might be finished.
Besides, life here is very inconvenient.
In the past, when Zhai Hongyi accompanied Old Liu, Tang Qingqing felt particularly at ease.
Later, Zhai Hongyi left and she went back to study in the commune, but Wang Heizi often came over. Although she was still worried, it was okay.
But after Wang Heizi entered junior high school, he often came only once a week or ten days. If something really happened to him, it would be a waste of time.
"I'm fine living here. Don't tell me, I'm not moving away."
Tang Qingqing also knew that a den of gold or silver was not as good as one's own, but Old Liu moved here because he had been greatly stimulated and wanted to escape from the world.
"Master——"
Old Liu was determined and ignored Tang Qingqing's nagging.
Tang Qingqing did not give up, "Master, please tell me what it will take for me to leave here."
Old Liu wanted to refuse, but when he saw Tang Qingqing's determined eyes, he couldn't say no.
"Master, I will never let you stay here alone. If you don't give me a promise, I will move here and never go anywhere else!"
"Girl, why are you so stubborn?"
"You taught me, so I got my stubbornness from you."
Old Liu not only taught Tang Qingqing the coding skills, which changed her destiny, but also taught her many lessons during their relationship.
Otherwise, if she had grown up in such an environment, she might have been fooled into becoming a person who only contributes to the family and has no self-awareness, just like many so-called "brother-supporting demons."
Through many cases, Tang Qingqing understood the influence of the original family on a person.
The reason why many people turn to crime is inseparable from their living environment.
Even if she later discovered that she was not the biological child of this family, she would find it difficult to break free from the ideological constraints because she had been tortured so severely, which affected her entire life.
The reason why Tang Qingqing was able to escape easily after knowing her life story was that she had armed herself mentally at a very early time, so she was not so vulnerable.
She can calmly analyze the pros and cons and choose the path that suits her best.
Old Liu is her closest elder and relative, so Tang Qingqing must be filial to him and take care of him in his old age.
"How old are you now? Why do you think so much? When I need something in the future, I will take the initiative to talk to you."
"No, you must answer my question today so that I can have hope!"
Old Liu was so annoyed by her that he could only say helplessly, "Wait until you start working."
Tang Qingqing calculated that this would take many years!
"It's been too long. How about this? If I have money, I can help you renovate your old house and you can move back in. How about that?"
Old Liu's former homestead is still there, but the house has collapsed because no one has lived there for a long time.
Although that location is not the most lively place, it is in the village after all, so it is convenient to look after it on a daily basis.
Tang Qingqing has made up her mind that as long as Old Liu moves back, she can ask her uncle to help check on him from time to time.
The two houses are not far apart, only about fifty meters in a straight line.
But since Old Liu lived here, Tang Qingqing felt embarrassed to bother her uncle and aunt. It was too far away and it would take too long to go back and forth.
"Is it okay? Give me a definite answer."
Tang Qingqing waited for a while, but Old Liu still didn't reply, so she said:
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"
Old Liu looked helpless, but he was very happy in his heart.
He never imagined that even though his son was gone, he would still be able to enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren when he was old.
It's not that he has to live here, but if he is asked to live in someone else's house, he is too old to do such a thing.
Even though Tao Dazhuang is a very honest child, the two of them get along well with each other.
But Tao Dazhuang is already quite old, and no girl was interested in him because he could eat a lot and his meat was so big.
Now that I've gotten together with Wang Heizi, I have some spare money, and getting married and having children is just a matter of time.
Old Liu didn't want to be disliked, so he didn't agree.
When Tang Qingqing came back, she bought a pound of lean meat and a bone from the commune.
Wang Heizi bought some dried kelp from someone else before, and it is now piled up in Old Liu's house.
They are not near the sea, and have never eaten this thing before. This was the first time they saw it, so they didn't dare to cook it and just left it there to gather dust.
Tang Qingqing specially bought some pork shanks to make soup. Eating more seafood will prevent you from suffering from iodine deficiency and goiter.
There are people in their team who have goiter, which is particularly scary.
Tang Qingqing didn't know what it was before, until she found out about it from reading about it in the book, so she asked Wang Heizi to bring some seafood for her if he found any.
Tang Qingqing stewed a pot of pork ribs and kelp soup, made sweet and sour pork tenderloin with half a pound of lean meat, and stir-fried a plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
Wang Heizi and Tao Dazhuang were not at home, so two dishes and one soup were enough for the master and his disciple.
Tang Qingqing seldom comes back, so Old Liu hasn't tasted Tang Qingqing's cooking for a long time.
He ate an extra bowl of rice today. It tasted so good, so much better than what he usually ate.
If Tang Qingqing insisted on taking him to live with her in the future, Old Liu felt that he would probably compromise because of his skills.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s getting older, but he’s becoming more and more picky about food.
When I was young, I could eat anything I was given and it tasted delicious.
Now it doesn’t work anymore. If the food doesn’t taste right, my mouth will feel bitter and I’ll put down my chopsticks after eating a little.
I originally thought that I had poor digestion and a smaller appetite as I got older, but now I realize that it’s because the food doesn’t taste good, so I’m not interested in eating more.
After dinner, Old Liu sent Tang Qingqing home directly and didn't let her stay to clean up the dishes.
"Master, you see, you live so far away, I would be worried if I went back later. If you move back, I can go back whenever I want, there is no need to rush."
Old Liu tapped her head with chopsticks in annoyance, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"
Tang Qingqing ran away happily. When she ran home, she saw Tang Xingsheng and Tang Xingqiang squatting in the corner, with their hands tucked into their sleeves. They stamped their feet from time to time to relieve the cold, and their eyes kept looking at the road.
"What are you two doing squatting here? Aren't you cold?"
As soon as the two brothers saw Tang Qingqing, they jumped up from the ground.
"Sister, you're finally back. I missed you so much!"
"sister."
The two brothers surrounded Tang Qingqing on the left and right. After not seeing each other for a while, they both grew taller.
Tang Xingqiang had been educated by Tang Qingqing before, and now he is cleaner than before. There is no snot hanging from his nose anymore, and his little face is also washed clean. He looks quite cute.
Tang Xingsheng also gradually opened up, and Tang Qingqing found that his eyebrows and eyes were actually quite handsome. If he continued to grow like this, he would definitely charm many lesbians in the future.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Tang Qingqing was no exception. Seeing her two younger brothers grow up well, she felt happier and her attitude became much softer.
"It's winter, and you're not staying at home, squatting outside in the cold wind. Don't you feel cold?"
Tang Xingqiang: "My third brother and I just heard someone say they saw you coming back, so we're squatting here waiting."
Tang Qingqing now never went home past her own door, but went directly to her uncle's house. It was usually not until the next day that the neighbors knew she was back.
Tang Qingqing pinched his little face and said, "Don't do this next time. What if it gets frozen?"
"Sister, I got 100 points again!" Tang Xingqiang looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Tang Qingqing gave him a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad!"
Tang Xingsheng was a little embarrassed, but he also said: "I didn't do as well as you did. I lost points in Chinese, but I still scored above 90."
"This is a pretty good grade, and it shows that you have mastered the knowledge you have learned. The score is important, and it determines whether you can continue your studies in the future, but it is still not as important as what you have learned. Have your test papers been distributed? Let me see where the mistakes are. Let's analyze them carefully and try not to make the same mistakes again in the future."
"I got it back. I'll show it to you later!"
Tang Xingsheng nodded happily. If it were another child, they would probably feel annoyed if they kept talking about studying. However, Tang Xingsheng not only did not feel annoyed, but felt very happy instead.
This shows that his elder sister cares about him very much. She cares about whether he has mastered the knowledge. She is not the kind of person who only focuses on grades and beats students without thinking if they do not do well in the exam.
He felt that such an elder sister cared about him from the bottom of her heart.
Although Tang Xingsheng was often ridiculed for not performing better than his younger brother in the exam, his grievance disappeared when he thought that his elder sister would come home and seriously analyze with him the reasons for his lost points.
The two younger brothers studied hard, so Tang Qingqing took out two bags of candy from her bag as a reward as she had promised.
Not only that, everyone was rewarded with fifty cents.
It was the first time that Tang Xingqiang was rewarded with such a large amount of money, and he was a little afraid to take it.
"Sister, why did you give us money?"
"You are grown up now. I think you have the ability to plan and allocate your pocket money reasonably."
After the opening, the market days in the town became more lively, with more varieties of goods on sale than before, and many of them did not require tickets.
Now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, give them some money and they can buy what they want.
Tang Xingqiang suddenly felt that the fifty cents was particularly precious. This was because Tang Qingqing treated him as an adult, not a little kid who knew nothing!
Although his family loved him, they always thought of him as a child, and even if they gave him money, it was given to his eldest brother Tang Xingwang.
But Tang Xingwang was not the kind of person who would take care of his younger brothers. He would spend all the money he got. At most, he was worried that his two younger brothers were too noisy, so he bought them the cheapest fruit candies.
Tang Qingqing is different. Being generous is one thing, but the most important thing is to trust them!
Tang Xingsheng was very excited when he got the money. He was particularly fond of pens and notebooks, and he could buy them with the money.
Otherwise, when I ask my family for money to buy notebooks and pencils, I will not only be scolded but also not be given the money.
Although Tang Xingsheng was very reluctant to give money, he still returned three cents to Tang Qingqing.
"Sister, I only have two dimes."
Tang Xingqiang's eyes widened, and he held the money in his hand, wondering whether he should return some of it.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and took out three cents.
"Sis, we don't need that much, keep it for yourself."
Tang Qingqing smiled and pushed their money back: "I'm not asking you to spend it all at once, keep it for yourself and buy whatever you need. But keep it for yourself, if you lose it, I won't replace it."
Tang Xingqiang quickly put the money away, fearing that if he was a step slower, the money would be gone.
"Sister, don't worry! Even if I lose myself, I won't lose my money!"
Seeing Tang Qingqing's firm attitude, Tang Xingsheng carefully put the money away, treating it as a treasure.
Tang Qingqing was caught by her two younger brothers, so she went back to say hello to her elders at home.
When Zhao Dahahua saw her, his eyes were fixed on the backpack on her back.
Mrs. Wu didn't express it so obviously, but her first words were:
"Qingqing, are you back? Did you go to the police station before you came back? I heard that you handled another big case."
This is no longer a hint, it is a clear statement that she wants something.
Tang Qingqing was too lazy to deal with them, so she said directly: "I have to go to the commune again in two days, and I won't be back until the New Year."
The period before the Chinese New Year is the busiest for the Public Security Bureau, with a particularly high number of thefts. I guess the thieves also want to have a good New Year.
Tang Qingqing was originally hesitant and planned to stay in the commune until the Chinese New Year before returning, but she was thinking about Old Liu, so she decided to go home first to visit him.
Old Mrs. Wu and Zhao Dahua immediately smiled brightly.
Zhao Dahua: "You are usually busy with your studies, so you should help more during the holidays."
Mrs. Wu: "Serving the people is what we should do!"
Zhao Dahua's eyes rolled: "Your brother Xingwang is not young anymore, why don't you take him with you?"
Although there is no salary for following Tang Qingqing, you can still receive benefits at the end of the year and eat in the Public Security Bureau cafeteria every day.
She had heard from Tao Dazhuang that the Public Security Bureau cafeteria was very good and there was always meat to eat! Not only was the food delicious, but she could eat as much as she wanted.
Now that the New Year is almost here, there isn't much work to do, so it would definitely be a good idea to let Tang Xingwang go over and make a living.
Old Mrs. Wu slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, bring your father with you. It's better to bring your own family than other family members!"
Zhai Hongyi is an educated youth. He knows a lot more than those who come from the city. There is no comparison.
Wang Heizi has a relationship with the captain, so he can't replace him, but Tao Dazhuang can hang out with Tang Qingqing, which makes Old Lady Wu and the others unhappy.
Why can't you bring your own family along when you're bringing Tao Dazhuang along?
It's fine for normal times, but now is the idle season, how can you not look for your family? !
Tang Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "You think you're going there to have fun? Twenty-four hours a day, at least fifteen hours outside in the cold wind, do you think Comrade Tang Xingwang and Comrade Tang Jianjun can hold on?"
I guess these two guys are playing cards on someone's kang right now. It would be hard to see what they can do if they are left outside in the cold winter.
What do they think of the Public Security Bureau? They always bring someone there to eat for free.
Although Tao Dazhuang also relied on Tang Qingqing's help, the reason he was able to eat for free was not just to protect Tang Qingqing.
Every time he went to eat, he would help the kitchen by chopping firewood and doing some heavy work.
Sometimes when the Public Security Bureau was short of staff, they would arrest him and use him as a bodyguard to round up criminals.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to bring him along every time, after all, he eats a lot, and it would make Tang Qingqing seem too arrogant, even bringing her own bodyguards when doing things.
Zhao Dahua was a little hesitant, because she knew too well the character of her husband and eldest son.
The older Tang Xingwang got, the lazier he became. As a young man, he earned less work points than other girls, and people often gossiped about him behind his back.
However, Mrs. Wu disagreed. She felt that her son and grandson were not incapable of doing it, but just did not want to do it. As long as they worked hard, they would definitely be better than anyone else.
Now that there are such great benefits ahead, we are definitely willing to contribute.
"Why not? You, a little girl, can do it, so why can't they?"
"That's fine. Let's make them stand outside for fifteen hours tomorrow. If they can stand it, go ahead. If they can't, don't go and embarrass yourself. That's the Public Security Bureau, not a place for playing house.
If there was a serious case, and someone died and their body was rotting and full of maggots, we would have to help carry the body and deal with the maggots."
What Tang Qingqing said later was pure nonsense. Even if someone really died in this cold winter, it would be difficult for maggots to grow.
But this was enough to scare Mrs. Wu. "Why, why do you still want to do this?"
"What else? Do you think anyone can go to the Public Security Bureau? Can our country afford to keep people in such a short time? You want to get benefits but don't want to work. Where can you find such a job?"
Zhao Dahua was not so easily fooled, and said, "Why haven't I heard Tao Dazhuang say this?"
"Does he usually like to talk about anything else besides food?"
Zhao Dahahua was choked. Tao Dazhuang was not a talkative person and he didn't like dealing with women. The only thing that could make him open his mouth was food.
"Besides, every time he goes to the commune, he doesn't go to see me. The commune doesn't always have cases. If they have a break, they have to find food and a place to stay. Where do you want Tang Xingwang and his men to live? Live under a bridge in the middle of winter, or spend money to stay in a guesthouse?"
Old Mrs. Wu frowned: "Why are the Public Security Bureau so stingy?"
"If they had my skills, they would be treated differently. But do they?"
Old Lady Wu: "They just don't study hard. If they study hard, can they be worse than a little girl like you?"
"Anyway, they just don't have the ability to track us by footprints, so it's useless no matter how much you say."
Zhao Dahua felt unhappy when he saw Tang Qingqing chattering and being unreasonable.
"How can you talk to an elder like that! Tang Qingqing, I tell you, no matter how capable you are, you can't get past us. It's only natural for children to listen to their parents' arrangements. Your big talk is useless!"
Tang Qingqing rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to talk to them, and went back to the next door with her bag.
Tang Xingsheng hurriedly chased after them, and Tang Xingqiang shook his head at them and said:
"Grandma, Mom, you guys are so greedy that even I have to shake my head. My sister came back after such a long time, but you don't care about anything. You didn't even ask how she did in the exam. You just want to get some benefits. Hey, you have to fatten the chicken before you kill it. You just want to get something for nothing. Who cares about you?"
While Zhao Dahua was getting the broom, Tang Xingqiang quickly slipped away.
Tang Qingqing returned to her uncle's house and was greeted by the bright smiles of her aunt and Tang Qiaoqiao as soon as she entered the door.
"Qingqing, come quickly and try the melon seeds and peanuts I just roasted. They are all grown by me this year and they are growing very well."
"Sister, are you tired? Do you want to soak your feet? There's water boiling on the stove."
My uncle was not so enthusiastic, but he still asked, "Have you eaten?"
Tang Qingqing could truly feel the family's joy when they saw her. As soon as she entered the yard, they hurried over to greet her, took off her clothes and bedding, and helped her carry them into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, melon seeds and peanuts were stuffed into her hands. Tang Qiaoqiao brought her tea and roasted sweet potatoes, and she was busy like a little spinning top.
Tang Qiaoqiao also did very well in exams this semester, with scores of 99 in math and 98 in Chinese.
The reward Tang Qingqing gave her was the same as that given to the two brothers Tang Xingsheng and Tang Xingqiang, which was a bag of candy and fifty cents.
Before the aunt could speak, Tang Qingqing explained, "Learning to spend money is also a skill. Let Qiaoqiao learn how to plan and spend money, so that she can know how to manage the household in the future."
The eldest aunt was still hesitant: "You can't make rattan baskets now, where will you get the money? And you have many other places to spend money, how can you bring so many things to Qiaoqiao every time? She is only a few years younger than you."
"Aunt, I'm not the kind of person who would show off. Don't worry."
"But you are a student..."
"Uncle, aunt, I came back this time to discuss something with you."
The uncle looked over and the aunt asked, "What's the matter?"
Tang Qingqing looked at Tang Xingsheng and Tang Xingqiang who came with her. Tang Xingqiang quickly raised his hand and swore:
"We only have ears but no mouth!"
Tang Xingsheng also quickly assured: "We will never tell anyone!"
Tang Qingqing spoke only after getting the assurance.
"Uncle, aunt, the world has changed. Now you can set up a stall and do business."
Uncle and aunt's eyes widened, and Tang Xingqiang's black and white eyes were almost shining like a light bulb.
"This, this is not considered speculation?"
"We can't say it's completely over. After all, the policy has only just been implemented and we don't understand it very well yet, but it will become looser year by year."
When the aunt heard this, she waved her hands and said, "Then we can't do this."
Tang Qingqing knew that saying this would scare people, but she couldn't just ignore the risks.
It is indeed still in chaos now. After all, the previous policy has been implemented for so long, and the attitude is still somewhat ambiguous.
Especially in a small place like theirs, repetitions are more likely to occur.
However, according to my uncle and aunt's situation, doing some small business is more suitable for them.
Farming is too hard for them, and everything depends on their aunt alone. There is very little that their uncle can do.
Moreover, farming has been hard work and the income has been very low since ancient times.
It can only serve as a basic guarantee. It will be very difficult to live a better life.
The future situation is that a large number of migrant workers will leave their hometowns and go to work in industrially developed areas.
If we wait until the policy becomes clear before taking action, I am afraid the market will have already been occupied by others.
At this time, the uncle spoke up: "Qing girl, please continue."
The aunt looked at the uncle, and the uncle gave her a soothing look.
"Wang Heizi is out there, you guys should have heard some news, right?"
Although Wang Heizi kept it a secret at home, he didn't dare to say how much money he had earned.
But it was impossible to keep it completely secret. They knew something, but their family had not split up, and his parents were worried that other brothers would take advantage of them, so they turned a blind eye.
After collecting some good stuff, Wang Heizi did not take it home but gave it to Old Liu. They did not say anything, for they were afraid that their sons would be eaten alive after they started.
The uncle nodded. After the family split up, he no longer stayed at home like before, making people almost forget that such a person existed in the village.
He would go out and mingle with people from time to time, and was no longer afraid of other people's strange looks like before, so he knew a lot about what was happening in the village.
Tang Qingqing also often asked Wang Heizi to bring newspapers home. Her uncle had attended primary school for two years, so he knew some words. With Tang Qiaoqiao and a dictionary, he was also aware of what was going on in the outside world and no longer lived in confusion as before.
Tang Qingqing even marked the events of Xiaogang Village with a red pen at that time, and Tang Jianshe also understood better that the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"I think you can consider doing some small business. Uncle, your legs are not convenient for you, so it's okay to do small business and run a stall."
The eldest aunt still felt it was inappropriate: "It costs money to do business, and we have to go to the town at the very least. How can we leave?"
The uncle also said: "Now is not the right time, Qiaoqiao is still studying in the brigade."
When Tang Qingqing heard what her uncle said, she immediately understood that her uncle had a plan.
The reason why I don't do it now is not because I don't want to, but because of limited conditions. However, it may not be the case in the future.
Tang Qingqing also knew that this family was currently pursuing stability and could not do anything risky.
"We can't do big business now, but we can do some small business, such as selling needles and thread, handkerchiefs, hair bands and other small things. We can get the goods from Heizi. You can also make some tofu, as well as these melon seeds, peanuts, pickled vegetables at home, etc., and sell them when the market is in town. If anyone in the village needs it, they can buy it from you."
I can't make a fortune from this small business, but it can help supplement my uncle's family's income, and I can also experience how business is done.
When Wang Heizi started out with Zhai Hongyi, he also did small business, but later on the business gradually grew bigger and bigger.
My aunt was now somewhat tempted. She also went to the town a while ago and found that the situation was indeed much more relaxed now.
If she sold some of her own stuff, she wouldn't be targeted.
Tang Qingqing: "Those small things are not expensive. Even if I can't sell them, I can still use them myself, so I won't lose much. Heizi and I have a good relationship, so I can get the purchase price even if I buy less."
Aunt: "Will we steal his business by doing this?"
Tang Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. He doesn't have time to go to town to sell goods now."
Wang Heizi has now become a middleman, buying goods from above and then distributing them to dealers below for sale. He has long disdained this small business.
Since his goods do not require tickets, his business is very prosperous.
Tang Qingqing didn't know where he got the goods from, she only knew that they were definitely not stolen goods, and that they were obtained through the channel that Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi had obtained.
They felt that she was half a public security officer now, so it was better for her not to know about some shady things. Tang Qingqing was also very sensible and did not ask.
Doing so is actually deceiving oneself. After all, Tang Qingqing now has a part of income from the dividends of this transaction, and she also invested some money in it at the beginning.
Not only did Tang Qingqing receive dividends every year, but Zhai Hongyi, who had been away for more than two years, also saved his annual dividends for him.
They agreed that all dividends would be automatically canceled after Tang Qingqing was admitted to university.
Tang Qingqing knew very well that it was Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi who were taking care of her, otherwise why would she have needed to invest money in the first place? Zhai Hongyi did not need her three melons and two dates.
She did not refuse their kindness, but kept this favor in mind and planned to repay them when she was able to do so.
When the uncle heard this, he immediately decided: "We'll do this small business, whether we make money or lose money, we have to give it a try."
Tang Xingqiang's blood boiled as he listened, and his eyes almost sparkled.
Tang Qingqing naturally felt it as well and looked towards him.
Tang Xingqiang was a brave man, and he asked directly: "Sister, can I do this business?"
"You want to steal business from uncle?"
"No, no, that's not it. I can sell it somewhere else!"
Tang Qingqing rubbed his head and asked, "Do you want to do big business or small business?"
Tang Xingqiang really wanted to answer small business, so that he wouldn't seem so unrealistic.
But he didn't want to lie in front of Tang Qingqing, so he finally told the truth.
"I want to do big business! Make a fortune!"
"Then study hard. If you can get into college, I will let Brother Yi help you build a big business!"
