After returning, Ding Minxiu became quiet. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her sitting on the stool in a daze, not saying anything, staring at a point in the air with empty eyes and clenched fists. She was very worried.
Seeing her daughter like this made her feel uneasy.
Zhou Changshou was also in a bad mood, and seeing Ding Minxiu like this, he was in no mood to comfort her.
He himself was not feeling well, so he did not have the extra time and energy to persuade her to be more open-minded. He now needed others to comfort him.
Looking at this narrow little place, Zhou Changshou slowly lay down and looked at the wall. If, if his son and Yu Xiangan had been married smoothly, he would be able to patrol that magnificent office building now, right?
They would respectfully call him "Sir", and he didn't have to do anything but sit there happily.
Big house, delicious food, everything.
Now this daughter-in-law is not as good at making money as Yu Xiangan, nor is she as educated as Yu Xiangan, and she can't even compare to Yu Xiangan in having children.
Although she gave birth to a son for the Zhou family, Yu Xiangan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Their Yu family has a tradition of giving birth to twins. By then, their Zhou family should be able to break the curse of single-line inheritance.
…
What a pity.
Why did my son fall in love with her at that time?
Zhao Qiaoniang poured water for Ding Minxiu and forced her to drink it in small sips.
Ding Minxiu drank the warm water. After something went down her throat, she let out a long breath, and her eyeballs began to move, showing other reactions.
She looked at Zhao Qiaoniang, "Mom, why aren't you surprised at all? Did you know about this a long time ago? Ah, why didn't you tell me? You are helping her hide it. Why?"
One by one, all questioning.
Zhao Qiaoniang's mouth was filled with a bitter taste. "I didn't know that was hers. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to see it." She felt uncomfortable after seeing it, as if her heart was being gnawing at by ants.
Ding Minxiu didn't believe it: "Then why are you so calm when others talk about her!?"
Zhao Qiaoniang was silent for a few seconds. "I have met her before, in the Food City. I know that the Food City is hers. I don't know if this office building is related to her."
Food City, Ding Minxiu’s brain started to work rapidly, recalling the past.
Ding Minxiu remembered, "Is it the time when you went to distribute flyers and forgot to cook?"
That time, the two of them had a big fight.
Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and agreed.
Ding Minxiu took a deep breath, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhao Qiaoniang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Is there any other use for telling you besides making you feel bad?"
"Of course it is useful!" Ding Minxiu stood up suddenly and laughed: "She can make such a big business, she must have used connections. Isn't it said that the father of the man she married is a factory director? It must be him who used it for personal gain! That's why Yu Xiangan was able to earn such a big fortune!" The more she spoke, the more certain she became, as if it were true.
She didn't know about Lin Houpu's promotion and transfer. After thinking about it, she thought that he had the highest official position and was most likely to open a backdoor for Yu Xiangan, so she was firm in this idea.
His tone also became indignant: "People like this, I don't know how much state property they have embezzled! How can we just watch like this!"
Ding Minxiu clenched her fists and looked at her hands. She must let everyone know how Yu Xiangan made these ill-gotten gains.
Ding Minxiu began to inquire, but the more she inquired, the more desperate she became. They were truly one in heaven and one in hell now.
Why is this happening? This world is so unfair!
Sometimes she would ask passers-by if they knew how Yu Xiangan made his fortune, and they would all say that he started out by opening a restaurant and then slowly expanded his business.
Ding Minxiu didn't believe it.
There must be some loophole.
She made a special trip back to Baishi County to inquire around Yu's home, only to find out that none of the neighbors knew how big Yu Xiangan's business was in the Special Zone; they only knew that she was doing business there.
They didn't know she was the factory manager, nor did they know how much money she made.
This is naturally because Yu Xiangan knew that his money came from illegal sources, so he didn't say anything!
Zhou Changshou also came back with them, so Zhou Boyang also knew what happened this time. He was in an irritable mood and had a gloomy face. His current job was very leisurely, but leisure meant no money, so he would rather be busy.
But it didn't work.
Everyone has become so free, and now that he knows about this thing, it would be strange if Zhou Boyang wasn't annoyed.
Ding Minxiu was always in a state of explosiveness. Seeing him like this, she keenly perceived his thoughts and made a big fuss, yelling at Zhou Boyang, "Do you regret it? I know you regret it. Since you regret marrying me, then go find her and see if she will pay attention to you!"
Zhou Boyang was pushed hard by her and staggered. His face was not looking good. He said, "That's enough! Have you said enough? This is all your imagination! Can you please stop being crazy?!"
Didn't he think about it? He did, but when he stood next to Lin Chuanbai, he couldn't compare to him. He looked in the mirror and gave up the idea. Now Ding Minxiu's words aroused his anger, but he held back. After all, if he really said that, there would be no peace in this family. They were all grandparents. What was the point of saying these things at this age?
So he closed his eyes and lay back down, not wanting to say more to Ding Minxiu, "If you want to go crazy, go outside and have some fun. I'm sleepy and I want to sleep."
Ding Minxiu glared at him hatefully. Zhou Boyang lay on the bed, turned over and turned his back to her.
Ding Minxiu chuckled twice, and really went out, revealing Yu Xiangan's situation.
"Oh, you don't know. I heard from others that she is a factory manager in the Special Zone. She has hundreds of people under her. Aren't you looking for a job? You can ask her for help."
"You don't know. I heard from others that she is doing very well in the Special Administrative Region and has even been reported in the newspapers. We have kept it a secret here. He is probably afraid that poor relatives like us will come to visit."
"She has developed so quickly, and I don't know whether the process of making money is legal or not."
"Don't say that. He has connections behind him."
Yu Xiangan is not here, but Yu Xianghai and Ye Qijia are.
And they also owe their profits to Yu Xiangan.
They have vested interests.
Many people came to him.
Yu Xianghai works in a hardware factory. Yu Qingshan also used to work in the hardware factory. He retired here and received a pension.
There are many old friends here.
It can be said that all of Yu Xianghai’s personal connections are here.
Some of them even came to verify and find out if it was true as the rumors said.
They knew about it, and Yu Xianghai did not deny it.
They are not without purpose, the purpose is very simple, it is nothing more than for their children and for work.
Their rhetoric was the same: "We are all familiar with each other in the same hometown. We are not people who don't know where they came from. We have the advantage of knowing each other's background. She should invite us instead of others."
Yu Xianghai: "Are you willing to serve the food?"
After this was said, some people fell silent, "... Didn't you open a factory?"
Yu Xianghai: "The factory already had people there, and there was an assessment before entering the factory. Skilled workers are of course better than newcomers. There was also an assessment before entering a restaurant. If you don't meet the standards, you won't be accepted."
Those who can talk to him are basically old friends. Many of them are retired and it is really not suitable for them to be re-employed at this age. As for their children, if there are really such difficulties, Yu Xianghai would not ignore them. Some people are not living well, that is their own fault. Such people know them inside and out, but what's the use of knowing them inside and out? It's good enough if they don't hold back or act domineeringly.
When they heard that he was going to be a waiter serving dishes, many people felt embarrassed.
If there are those who are hardworking and really want to find a job, Yu Xianghai will not refuse and recommend them to Yu Xiangan.
Yu Xiangan meant the same thing.
When she first opened the business, she didn't want to have too many acquaintances, but now that the framework has been set up and the management staff is basically fixed, there is no problem in recruiting a few people from her hometown. However, she will also be quite impartial, so those who want to come here to get by can forget about it.
She doesn't keep any young masters or young ladies here.
Yu Xianghai will first screen those who just want to eat and wait for death and find a place to get a salary. He will not let them pass.
No one's money comes from the wind. If you want to do good deeds, you might as well donate to a few students. Why give it to these adults with hands and feet?
Aunt Chen, who lived not far from the Yu family, was the most excited. Her third son was already old and was still dependent on his brother and sister-in-law for support. He couldn't find a job and was unwilling to work. Now there was such an opportunity, but seeing the look of her son, Yu Xianghai directly refused.
Aunt Chen threw a tantrum, saying that he had no regard for neighborliness and was heartless, but Yu Xianghai refused to give in.
How could there be any affection between such neighbors? He still remembered that when the affairs between his younger sister, Zhou Boyang and Ding Minxiu were spread out, she was the one who gossiped the most cheerfully among the neighbors.
Do you think he has forgotten it after so long? Yu Xianghai said he still remembers it clearly.
Some people who don’t know the truth think he is too hard-hearted when they see him like this, but there are also many people who still remember what happened in the first place?
If it were them, they wouldn't be able to just laugh it off.
Knowing that the problem was caused by her mouth, Aunt Chen regretted it so much. There were so many people she could have said it to, why did she say Yu Xiangan?
Now that they have become powerful, they still hold grudges.
Her third son missed out on this good job. If only she could go back in time, she would definitely go back to that time and stand on Yu Xiangan's side to help her scold those gossipers. In this way, maybe she could find a small leader for her third son now.
There are also some who are too ambitious and want to be leaders as soon as they come, saying that he can help her keep an eye on the people under her and how reliable he is. Yu Xiangan is helpless with this kind of people. Now that she has set up the framework, otherwise if she meets such people at the beginning of her business, she will not be able to afford it.
However, Yu Qingshan was the one who basically handled these matters. Yu Qingshan was of a higher generation and older, so it was easier for him to be accepted by those who claimed to be from the same village.
The storm of condemnation that Ding Minxiu deliberately stirred up was quelled just like that. Only those people who were screened out and whose families were really useless were still jumping up and down, but everyone knew what those people were like in normal times and would not listen to them at all.
Ding Minxiu vomited blood so much
Zhou Boyang accepted the reality faster than her. Seeing that she was losing motivation, he comforted her: "Come on, they are not on the same level as us now. Why are you doing so much?" If anyone is unwilling to accept something, shouldn't I be the one who is more unwilling?
He swallowed the rest of the sentence back into his stomach.
But even though he didn't say it, Ding Minxiu understood what he meant and had a gloomy face. Even her lovely grandson opening his little arms for her to hold couldn't make her happy.
Zhao Qiaoniang pulled her back to continue working. If she continued to take leave, they would lose their jobs. Instead of thinking about so many unnecessary things, it would be better to live their lives well.
Seeing that none of them supported her, Ding Minxiu, who had not made up her mind before, now made up her mind.
I found some time and put a letter of complaint into the mailbox...
Yu Xiangan was a little puzzled about this incident. Why did it suddenly come out in such a concentrated manner?
Lin Chuanbai: "Even if it's not now, it won't take long. When you first appeared in the newspaper, I felt that some of your fellow villagers would know about it. It seems that few people have the habit of reading newspapers. As for why they are so concentrated, it should be jealousy. Maybe someone who had some unpleasantness with you before found out and exaggerated it after returning."
Yu Xiangan: “…” Very likely.
Yu Mansheng experienced this kind of thing very early on.
Because he brought the young men from the village out to make a living, and with that scale and so many mouths, it would definitely not be possible to keep it secret.
He has a lot of young people here who are unwilling to work in the fields in their village. Some of them who don't want to do this job will come to him to work as a stepping stone for a few months before looking for other jobs.
In their village, he is a "big shot" and many people come to him for help, the most common of which is to borrow money.
Yu Mansheng basically lent all of these. As long as the family was really in difficulty, such as building a house or getting married, he would lend the money.
However, they will insist on having a promissory note and will also specify the repayment period.
He will not pursue those who are really in difficulty and have difficulty repaying the debt due to low income. This IOU is to restrain those who think he has money and want to borrow money to spend, and those who borrow money without paying it back.
Most people still have their dignity. They have the ability but don’t want to pay it back, and still want to borrow again?
At this point, just taking out the IOU can basically shut him up.
Yu Xiangan suddenly decided to go to school to see the twins.
Unexpectedly, he happened to run into something very campus-like - Lin Yihong was called into the grove. Looking at the pink envelope in the other party's hand, and then looking at the tall and graceful Lin Yihong, Yu Xiangan said: Oh!
Looking at the calmness on Lin Yihong's face, one can tell at a glance that he has no interest in the female classmate, and he is so calm that it is definitely not the first time.
Yu Xiangan consciously hid aside and did not disturb them.
When Lin Yihong saw his mother like this, he sighed and wondered why his mother was so different.
Shouldn't ordinary people stop such things as soon as possible when they encounter them?
Why does his mother just stand by and watch when it comes to him because she doesn't want her child to fall in love too early?
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood for a relationship right now. I just want to study hard."
The female classmate opposite was not surprised at all. His reason had not changed. "I know, it's just that I like you and I want to tell you about it. Can you accept this letter?" She plucked up the courage, hoping that Lin Yihong could accept the letter.
Lin Yihong shook her head, with disappointment on her face, and slowly withdrew her hand: "Well, sorry to bother you, I hope you can find a university you like in the future!"
Then he immediately turned around and ran away.
Yu Xiangan: "..."
Isn’t this reaction a bit too strange?
How can she be so calm? Was she rejected?
Lin Yihong walked up to Yu Xiangan and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
Yu Xiangan: "Come to school to see you guys."
They say everything is fine at school, and that's true, but there are some details that you won't know unless you see them with your own eyes, like what happened today.
"Does this happen often?"
Lin Yihong shook his head, looking innocent: "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Okay, if you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t talk about it.
"In short, mom is more inclined to reject premature love. People have limited energy, and if they spend more energy on this, they will have less energy for studying."
Lin Yihong nodded, "I know."
He now feels that he does not have enough time, so in addition to his regular classes, he has signed up for some other classes, which fill up his spare time.
Yu Xiangan also knew his current schedule, and he had taken the initiative to go to these classes. "If the pressure is too high, just cancel some classes."
Lin Yihong felt it was okay, and he hoped that he could go to the final round of the architectural design competition.
There is no problem with his studies, and even if he takes some time off, he can definitely make up for it.
"I want to go and see it and experience it." Capital University is one of the best in the country.
He used to go there often when he was young, but he hasn't been there since he came to the south.
Yu Xiangan hesitated for a moment, "I need to ask your teacher. If he agrees, then I'll go. If he doesn't agree, forget it."
Chen Yi's father agreed and asked Lin Yining if he wanted to come along.
Basically, the two of them are inseparable from Jiao and Meng Meng. Because of their consistent good grades, Chen Yi's father is very easy to talk to. If it were someone with less good grades, he would not be so easy to talk to.
When she went back and told Lin Yining about it, Lin Yining cheered, "Let's go together. I want to go too. I want to go with you!" She didn't want to miss it.
Now they can go back by plane, which saves a lot of time.
You can make up for the classes you missed after you come back.
Seeing how happy they were, Yu Xiangan asked them, "Do you want to go abroad?"
If they want, take them abroad during the winter vacation.
How could the twins not think about it? But while cheering, Lin Yining thought of something: "Mom, are you going abroad to play or to work?"
Yu Xiangan grinned: "Both."
She is going to Germany to discuss a production line.
Sure enough, Lin Yining was not surprised at all and asked why his mother would ask that.
It turned out to be official business.
Lin Yihong: "What preparations should we make?"
Yu Xiangan: "Practice speaking English more, it is a universal language. If you are interested, you can also learn German or Italian. It is always better to have more skills."
…
Capital University intends to use this competition to enhance its reputation, and with the high prize money at stake, if this had not been a student competition, even the teachers would have been reluctant to take part.
Because of the high prize money, a lot of people came to watch the game, not only students from the school, but also some people from outside the school.
Yu Xiangan was also one of the judges. He sat with other teachers from the Department of Architecture and watched the eight people who entered the final go on stage to present their works and explain their design concepts.
The twins were sitting in the audience.
In the first row are some teachers and leaders of the school, and the two of them are in the corners of the second row.
Other students who came to watch the game thought they were freshmen, just look at their young faces.
Sitting right after them was a sophomore student from the Department of Architecture. He had a mushroom-shaped haircut and wore thick glasses. He looked at the stage with great envy and muttered to himself, "If only I had started school a year earlier, I would be a junior now and I could have taken part in the competition." Now he can only be a spectator in the audience.
Lin Yining looked at the undisguised sorrow on his face, smiled, and comforted him, "It's okay, there will be another chance."
Mushroom-headed boy: "Where will there be another chance? There are competitions on campus, but the prizes are nothing compared to this. Ten thousand yuan, as long as you get first place you can get ten thousand yuan! When I work in the future, assuming I make two hundred yuan a month and save two thousand yuan a year, I will have to save for five years!"
He was very straightforward and honest, and told her clearly what made his heart beat.
A young lady at the back poked her head over and said, "Yes, I was also attracted by the bonus. The provider of the bonus is also here today. I am studying business administration. I wonder if they accept people with this major. I would like to ask them how much the salary is if they do. With such a strong financial background, their recruitment treatment must be good."
This is Yu Xiangan’s purpose.
She spent a fortune to buy bones, telling everyone that she is thirsty for talent.
The twins looked at each other. I guess their mother’s goal was achieved.
Mushroom Head looked at her: "Have you decided where to go? I don't know yet."
"I haven't decided yet. It depends on the salary. I'll go wherever the treatment is good."
…
The above competition has come to an end. The host announced everyone's scores and the results were: "First place Gu Sheng, second place Ouyang Hai, third place Wang Ziwen..."
After the rankings were announced, Yu Xiangan gave the first place winner a certificate and a check.
Looking at the check, there was thunderous applause.
The mushroom head was envious and jealous, "Ahhh, I think my level is not bad, what a pity, what a pity!"
A junior behind him couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I advise you not to be so confident. I'm a junior, I participated, but was eliminated in the second round. Do you know how many seniors participated? Don't be too confident in yourself. And the freshman next to you hasn't even figured out the basics yet, so don't think about things that far ahead. Study hard, and sooner or later you'll get another chance."
Twins: “…” It seems inappropriate to talk about their identities now.
After the meeting, some people left, but Mushroom Head and the others didn't move. They watched the twins follow them up to the podium with their eyes wide open.
"Aren't they freshmen?"
Listen carefully, they are the children of Senior Sister Yu Xiangan!
The mushroom-headed guy stared at them with his mouth wide open. The guy from the School of Business Administration behind him slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask how much the salary is!"
