Chapter 27, Section 27: Zhang Xiuying was overjoyed by the praise...
Cheng Xiuying was delighted by the compliment and drove Yu Jiajia to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two cream popsicles, handing one to Yu Jiajia.
Try it and see if you like it.
Yu Jiajia loved it so much! "The cream popsicle is so delicious! It's icy cold, fragrant, and sweet, and it cools me down instantly. Mom, you're so good to me!"
Cheng Xiuying also took a big bite, and led Yu Jiajia to eat under a big locust tree in the alley next door. "The eldest is off work, and the fifth is out of school. Let's not let them see us!"
Yu Jiajia: "I will listen to my mother."
She felt that Cheng Xiuying must have secretly eaten popsicles here quite a bit! She was very familiar with the grandma who sold popsicles and was quite skilled at sneaking bites.
The two ate creamy popsicles, and Cheng Xiuying asked Yu Jiajia to ride her bicycle, "Try it and see if you can still do it?"
Yu Jiajia: "Mom, please hold me tight. I'm fine if I fall, but we can't let our new car crash."
Cheng Xiuying: "Don't worry, neither you nor the car will fall."
Women's bicycles have a slanted handlebar, making them less difficult to ride than the old-fashioned bicycles. With her previous experience from lunch, Yu Jiajia quickly adapted. Seeing her proficiency, Cheng Xiuying let go of her hand and chased after her.
I was afraid that Yu Jiajia wouldn't be able to ride steadily and would fall off the bicycle and damage the paint.
A person falling down is nothing serious, but if a car falls down, she'll be so heartbroken she won't be able to sleep for half the night.
Yu Jiajia braked, bracing herself with one foot on the ground, and reached out to wipe Cheng Xiuying's sweat: "Mom, I'll drive you!"
This was the first time Cheng Xiuying had her daughter wipe her sweat, but she didn't care and quickly steadied the car, afraid that Yu Jiajia wouldn't be able to hold it steady: "With so little strength, I'll give you a ride."
Yu Jiajia gave up her position to Cheng Xiuying, letting her mother steal the spotlight.
Cheng Xiuying rode her brand-new Phoenix 28-inch women's bicycle from Jiefang Road, attracting everyone's attention. They asked, "Is this the bicycle the county committee gave you? Wow, it looks really smart on you."
The feeling of riding a beat-up bike is definitely different from riding a new bike!
Look at the envious and jealous looks on other people's faces, they'd love to snatch the car away!
Oh, that feels so good!
An older woman from the neighboring courtyard reached out and touched the bicycle: "Tsk tsk, this bike is really sturdy! Isn't your eldest son getting married? It'll make a perfect dowry."
Another auntie added, "That would be perfect for getting a wife; who else would have such a grand wedding?"
Yu Jiajia was also curious about what Cheng Xiuying would say.
But no matter what she says, the car is definitely hers, and can only be hers.
She likes and enjoys a good family environment, but it's not a necessity.
Cheng Xiuying smiled and pushed away their hands that were touching the bicycle: "This bicycle belongs to my fourth son, and it will always belong to my fourth son. No one can use this bicycle when they get married. Besides, my eldest son hasn't established himself yet, so how can he start a family? A man should establish himself before starting a family."
The older woman clicked her tongue a few times, "Who would believe you?"
Cheng Xiuying laughed: "Believe it or not, I'm just saying this: my bicycle belongs to Sibao, and the watch ticket that Sibao gave me will belong to Sibao in the future."
Yu Jiajia smiled sweetly: "Mom, the watch ticket is yours now, you have to wear it all the time, otherwise I'll be sad."
Several middle-aged women were shocked, "A watch ticket?"
Cheng Xiuying: "The steel mill rewarded my four kids with a voucher for a Shanghai brand all-steel watch. They insisted on giving it to me and have already lined up at the department store. I can buy the watch by the end of the year. Sigh, I'm already so old, why would I wear a watch? The kids just had to give it to me." She reached out and patted Yu Jiajia's head, who was sitting in the back seat. "That child is just too well-behaved."
Yu Jiajia obediently let her head be patted; she was both well-behaved and beautiful.
Several middle-aged women were green with envy; she had a bicycle and a watch! They looked at Cheng Xiuying's wrist and imagined wearing a watch by the end of the year.
It's still a Shanghai brand all-steel watch...
They didn't want to talk to Cheng Xiuying anymore.
After showing off, Cheng Xiuying continued to drive Yu Jiajia home. When they arrived at the door, everyone knew that Cheng Xiuying's family had just bought a new bicycle and was about to own a Shanghai brand all-steel watch.
How did she manage to give birth to such a wonderful daughter?
Whose child has a watch that they can give to their parents? It's practically impossible to find one.
Cheng Xiuying moved the new bicycle into the main room, wiped it with a damp towel, and happily sang "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman".
She has a loud voice and sings with great energy.
Yu Jiajia sat beside them, fanning them intermittently with a palm-leaf fan. "Mom, you sing with such energy. You should have joined the choir back then."
Cheng Xiuying: "Your dad said the same thing when he first met me. But with all my strength, I should be working in the security department."
Yu Jiajia nodded: "That's right, Mom is even better at fighting! She's so cool, I can't get enough of watching her!"
Cheng Xiuying: "I can also practice with a staff. When your dad comes back, I'll practice another set for you. Your dad likes to watch it too."
Yu Jiajia: "Wow! Mom, how come you know everything!"
Cheng Xiuying smiled as she finished wiping the car, making even the wheels look brand new! Satisfied, she put down the towel and said, "Sibao, come inside with me. I'll show you that thing."
Yu Jiajia followed Cheng Xiuying into the inner room expectantly, where she saw Cheng Xiuying open the cloth bundle on the bed and take out a stack of neatly folded Dacron fabric.
The base color is beige, printed with strings of green leaves.
On top was a piece of paper, which Cheng Xiuying handed to Yu Jiajia: "This is proof of the bicycle. Keep it safe."
Yu Jiajia glanced at it and saw that the bicycle belonged to her.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. Please accept this."
Cheng Xiuying laughed: "Why would I keep this? You can put it away yourself." She picked up the fabric and held it up to Yu Jiajia: "After I get the bicycle registered this afternoon, I'll go to the textile factory to buy it and make you a dress. You'll look great riding this new green bicycle."
She looked down at the fabric; it was really beautiful. She exclaimed, "Mom, you're amazing! You managed to find such a great color! Wearing this color in the summer will definitely feel so refreshing!"
I couldn't help but feel a little envious of how free Cheng Xiuying's work schedule was; she could go to fight in the morning and still be able to buy fabric in the afternoon!
I hope she can have this much freedom at work!!!
Cheng Xiuying was also very satisfied. Sibao was good-looking and looked good in anything: "Make an outfit according to the style you drew before. Take half a bag of brown sugar to the He family later and have Xiuxiu make one for you."
Yu Jiajia actually knows how to sew, but the original owner didn't have this skill, and there was no sewing machine at home, so it's better to ask Xiuxiu for help.
Xiuxiu is Zhao Sandao's daughter-in-law, which is also Grandma Zhou's granddaughter-in-law. She has a sewing machine as part of her dowry.
Those who were particular about making clothes would ask Xue Xiuxiu to make them for them, and it certainly wasn't for free; they would have to exchange something for her.
Yu Jiajia: "Okay." She took out the cloth coupons and added ten yuan. "Mom, you should buy a new dress too!"
The fabric was about seven feet long and cost approximately two dollars and fifty cents; Yu Jiajia gave a very generous amount.
Cheng Xiuying: "You child! You're too loose with your hand."
Yu Jiajia smiled: "Mom, I'm only giving this to you."
Cheng Xiuying took the money, then took out half a bag of brown sugar from the trunk and put it into a cloth bag: "Go find Xiuxiu."
Yu Jiajia took the blueprints with her and went to the Zhou family's house.
Grandma Zhou was playing with her great-grandson when she asked with a smile, "Jiajia, what brings you here? Come in and have a seat."
Yu Jiajia also teased the little boy. The child was well-fed and chubby. When she touched his face, he grinned and showed his four little milk teeth.
"Wow, Little Maodan has grown four teeth! Is Sister Xiuxiu off work yet? I'd like to ask her to help me make a new dress."
Grandma Zhou: "Xiuxiu, don't cook yet, Jiajia is looking for you."
Xue Xiuxiu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and asked with a smile, "What clothes are you making?"
Yu Jiajia handed the fabric to Xue Xiuxiu and showed her the pattern, "Sister-in-law, can you make me a dress and a shirt?"
Xue Xiuxiu looked at the drawing and said, "This style is beautiful! It's drawn very clearly, you'll definitely look good in it." She then asked for some details and indicated that she could make it.
Yu Jiajia handed her half a bag of brown sugar, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law."
Xue Xiuxiu refused, saying, "You taught us first aid methods last time. They can save lives in an emergency."
There are children in the family, and young children are the most likely to get stuck.
What used to be deadly can now be life-saving.
Yu Jiajia put down the brown sugar and ran away.
Last time was last time, and this time is this time.
Today it was Yu Songyan's turn to cook. He came home as soon as he got off work and was cooking in the kitchen. They were having meat for dinner, and Cheng Xiuying was teaching him how to render lard.
The three catties of pork we got from the Liu family were all very fatty. We cut off the lean parts and rendered the fatty parts to make lard.
Yu Jiajia had originally planned to take a quick look and then go back to her room to lie down for a while, but after hearing Yu Songyan's words, she turned back.
Yu Songyan: "The Liu family is very wealthy. They are more particular about food, drink, clothing, and other necessities than even cadres. They always have high-end goods, and they almost never go without meat. They also go to state-run restaurants for a treat from time to time. The father and son smoke Peony cigarettes and drink Wuliangye liquor. Liu Duobao wears several watches in rotation. The Liu family claims that the money was sent back by the old man and woman in Beijing, but whether that's true or not, nobody knows. Anyway, nobody has ever seen it."
Cheng Xiuying gasped: "So rich?"
Yu Songyan: "Mom, you regret it?"
Cheng Xiuying slapped Yu Songyan on the back: "Pah! In our Yu family, marriage is based solely on character. My Sibao has a good job, is beautiful, and kind-hearted. She's not someone that coward Liu Duobao could possibly marry."
The past is the past, and the present is the present; how can they be the same?
Yu Songyan chuckled lightly, "I went to the post office to inquire. People from the capital occasionally send things to the Liu family, but certainly not that many supplies. The Liu family's eldest daughter married the workshop director of an oil mill, the second daughter married the deputy head of the security department, and the third daughter's father-in-law is a gatekeeper. The Liu family's money comes from illegitimate sources."
Cheng Xiuying: "The deputy head of the security department of the oil press is bald and must be over forty years old."
Yu Songyan: "My eldest daughter married a workshop director whose two wives died, and his stepson is older than her."
Yu Jiajia frowned: "The Liu family is disgusting! What kind of people are they! How could they be willing to marry old men? Doesn't the Women's Federation care?"
Yu Songyan: "They should be quite willing. Although they married older men, their precious younger brothers are happy." He brought the focus back, "The most valuable thing in an oil press is oil, so they probably stole oil to sell."
Cheng Xiuying: "Have you found any evidence?"
Yu Songyan: "It's not that easy. I'll keep an eye on things for a few more days. It would be best if we could catch the thief red-handed."
Yu Jiajia's attention shifted from the Liu family marrying their daughter to an old man to the Liu family stealing resources from the factory. She praised them with admiration, "Second Brother, you're so clever! You found out so much in just one day!!!"
The Liu family is the same; why did they have to block Second Brother's promotion? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Now look what's happened! They're going to be killed by Second Brother.
Yu Songyan: "I'm not as good as you. You got a bicycle and a watch in just one day."
Yu Jiajia: "Our family is still missing a sewing machine. It would be great if the Public Security Bureau could give our family a sewing machine as a reward."
There's still no follow-up to the story of saving the police!
Cheng Xiuying was also quite anxious: "Why hasn't the Public Security Bureau made any move yet? I don't know how to ask around."
Yu Songyan: "I estimate this case is quite significant. Let's wait and see. Exposing us before it's over will do us no good. What if a desperate criminal comes along and targets our family?"
After the lard has been rendered, remove the cracklings.
Cheng Xiuying took out two handfuls, sprinkled them with white sugar, and said, "Let's try some first."
Sibao is too thin, he needs some nutrition.
The second child also strained his brain today, so he needs some extra help too.
She got this pork, so she needs to eat more to replenish her body.
Pork cracklings are so fragrant! Add some white sugar, and the taste is simply divine. Everyone who tries it raves about how delicious it is.
And since it was eaten secretly, the deliciousness was elevated to another level!
The three of them weren't afraid of getting burned, and they ate the pork cracklings sprinkled with white sugar. Cheng Xiuying would look outside from time to time, and luckily no one came back before they finished eating.
The small plate of pork cracklings was finished in no time.
Cheng Xiuying also made Yu Jiajia and Yu Songyan wipe their mouths, drink water, and erase the evidence of their secret eating.
The process was handled very skillfully.
Yu Jiajia: "Second brother, can 'Zaozi Gao' help you get promoted? Shall we fry some fried dough twists today? Actually, mung bean cakes are more suitable for summer, they're refreshing and cooling."
Yu Songyan looked at his younger sister's big, round eyes and smiled. "That's enough. But there's no rush. Let's wait a few more days. Such a good product can't just be officially approved and a new production line can be added. We're short of someone in charge."
Yu Jiajia: "Second brother, just tell me what you want to learn." Then she said to Cheng Xiuying, "Mom, I'm going to read a book."
She went back inside, locked the door, took out the "Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion," tore off the cover, peeled off the top layer of film, revealing the metal inside. It was very yellow in color and very flexible. This must be gold!
The front and back covers are about two or three millimeters thick and weigh about a pound!
Finding a pound of gold for free—whoever finds it will be overjoyed!
Yu Jiajia put the gold into her spatial backpack, then rolled around on the bed a couple of times and checked the resources in her space. She had to sell the bicycle ticket; it was something she couldn't keep and it was useless to her.
It should be possible to sell it on the black market.
But she didn't know where the black market was, and even if she did, she wouldn't dare go.
She was so poor before that she went to sell fish at the entrance of other residential compounds.
Let's talk about it later.
She unlocked the door and sorted through the rewards she had received over the past two days: an enamel basin, a towel, an enamel mug, two bars of medicated soap, two red notebooks, and a fountain pen.
During that time, I secretly drank half a cup of iced cola, but I couldn't bear to finish it. I also didn't dare to sneak a bite of fried chicken, since everyone was home and the smell wouldn't dissipate.
Yu Songchuan returned, shouting excitedly from outside, "Fourth Sister, may I come in?"
"Go in." Yu Jiajia opened the "Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" and pretended to read the book.
Yu Songchuan ran in, covered in sweat, glanced at the book his fourth sister was reading, and asked, "Fourth sister, can I ride your bicycle from now on?"
Yu Jiajia handed him a towel from the side: "Why is it so hot? Wipe your sweat. Sure, but I don't think it'll work today. Mom cleaned all the car wheels."
Yu Songchuan grabbed a towel and wiped his face: "Of course, we have to do it when Mom's not home." He had just gone to look at the new bicycle.
Yu Jiajia: "Sure."
A bicycle is meant to be ridden.
Yu Songchuan: "Fourth sister, you are my best fourth sister!"
Yu Jiajia: "Third sister is the best third sister, isn't she?"
Yu Songchuan burst into laughter.
Yu Jiajia brewed a pot of orange crystal tea in a large teapot, rinsed the new enamel mug with hot water, and then poured a cup of orange crystal tea into it.
Yu Songchuan also washed his new cup and then joined in for a cup of orange crystal tea.
Yu Jiajia: "Shall we go out and play after dinner?" She still had two good deeds to do, and she couldn't let them go to waste.
Yu Songchuan: "Sure."
When Yu Jiamin came back, she saw Yu Jiajia's clothes and exclaimed in surprise, "Mom gave these to you? That's so generous!"
Yu Songchuan: "Fourth Sister is so generous. She gave the Shanghai brand all-steel watch voucher that the steel mill awarded to our mother! Now the whole compound knows that our mother will soon have a Shanghai brand all-steel watch."
Yu Jiamin smiled and said, "Jiajia is definitely our mom's most precious child now."
Excellence and benefits have always been his mother's primary criteria for judging her children.
Yu Songchuan: "Sister Sibao".
Yu Jiajia:......
Yu Jiamin smiled and untied the scarf from Yu Jiajia's dress, then retied it into a prettier bow. "You've gained a little weight, let's make it smaller. Can you do it yourself?"
Yu Jiajia: "Yes!" She poured Yu Jiamin a glass of orange juice and shared her joy at being promoted to a permanent position.
Yu Jiamin: "That's great."
For a girl, work is the most important thing. Yu Jiajia is now a member of the 21st grade and earns a salary of 42 yuan. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, her life will be very smooth.
The three of them drank orange juice and then went to the main room to look at the new bicycle.
Yu Jiajia carried a teapot to deliver orange essence to Cheng Xiuying and her second brother, prompting Cheng Xiuying to exclaim, "Four Treasures!"
Yu Jiamin thought it looked really nice, and that cycling to work was much more convenient than taking the bus. "When I get married, I'll also want a bicycle."
Yu Jiajia: "Then Third Sister, you should learn to ride a bike first! Just let me know if you need to use it!"
Yu Jiamin: "You're really generous. You're even willing to spend money on a new car."
Yu Jiajia: "You're my third sister!"
Yu Jiamin smiled.
Yu Songqing and Yu Hongding returned together. Yu Songqing looked very unhappy. He originally wanted to stall until Yu Hongding left first, but Yu Hongding just sat there reading a book, acting as if working overtime didn't matter.
He could only end his overtime work and wait until tomorrow to see if he could slip away early.
The Yu family had a lavish dinner: minced pork with eggplant, stir-fried cabbage and tofu with pork cracklings, cucumber salad, steamed corn bread, and sweet potato porridge.
Cheng Xiuying: "I have two big things to say today. First, Sibao gave me a voucher for a watch, so I can get it at the end of the year. Second, Sibao has been promoted to a permanent position, and he'll get 42 yuan a month from now on. Just a quick note: this bicycle belongs to Sibao, and the watch is for both of us. Don't overthink it, and definitely don't mention anything about needing it for the wedding. Feel free to share your thoughts, boss?"
Yu Songqing: "These are for Mom and Jiajia."
Yu Songyan: "When we got married, I even wanted to ask the bride for a watch."
Everyone: ...
Yu Jiajia was shocked that her second brother was so goal-oriented.
Cheng Xiuying: "If you're capable of marrying into my family and making a good future for yourself, your father and I certainly won't stop you. After all, you're still my child, no matter where you go."
Yu Jiamin: "These days, it's popular to get married with three big items."
Cheng Xiuying nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad."
Yu Songqing felt that Cheng Xiuying was hypocritical; she couldn't provide three major items when marrying off a wife, but she had to provide three major items when marrying off a daughter.
Yu Songchuan: "I'll earn it myself!"
Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "Comrade Yu Jiajia, please say a few words as well."
Yu Jiajia: "Thank you to my parents for giving me such an outstanding life."
Everyone: ...
Cheng Xiuying beamed, "Also, I bought seven feet of cloth for Jiajia. Don't be envious, Jiajia gave me six feet of cloth coupons and ten yuan. If you want to buy cloth, I can help you buy it too." After saying that, she put a piece of minced meat and eggplant on Yu Jiajia's plate, "Sibao, eat more."
Yu Jiajia said obediently, "Mom, eat more too." She picked up a piece of minced meat from Cheng Xiuying's plate.
Everyone quickly reached for their chopsticks.
Yu Hongding felt a little resentful. Comrade Cheng Xiuying no longer served him food. Was it because he couldn't save up enough money to buy a watch?
The meat today wasn't large cuts, but it was all very fragrant. Plenty of lard was used, and the portions were generous. Everyone ate to their heart's content, and Yu Jiajia even ate a whole cornbread!
However, this dish is actually best made with regular rice!
I want to eat rice!
After eating the meat, Cheng Xiuying brought up the Liu family's affairs, saying, "We have to thank Lu Xiaoqing for this meal."
Yu Songqing was overjoyed, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better. But the next moment, Cheng Xiuying said, "Thank you for your two-faced and gossiping behind my back, instigating the Liu family to come to our door with this meat to propose marriage." She glanced at her eldest brother, whose face had turned pale, and continued, "I have no choice but to take Liu Duobao's mother to ask Lu Xiaoqing what she's up to behind the scenes."
Yu Songqing's face turned even uglier. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. How could Xiaoqing be so confused?
Yu Jiamin: "I'm curious what benefits Lu Xiaoqing got that made her so devoted to helping me."
Yu Songyan: "I happen to know a little bit about it. Lu Xiaoqing's younger brother started working at the oil pressing factory these past two days. He's a worker there."
Yu Jiajia looked like she suddenly realized something: "So you used me to get her brother a job. What a good sister you are."
Yu Songqing's face grew increasingly pale, and he couldn't even eat anymore.
Xu Pozi's cries rang out again from outside. She rushed over, sobbing, "Quickly save Jinbao! Jinbao is choking! I can't get him out no matter how hard I try!"
Yu Jiajia felt as if she had returned to two days ago, when Granny Xu had called out the same thing.
I don't know whether to be surprised that Xu Dali and his brother came out, or surprised that Xu Jinbao choked again.
However, these kinds of opportunities are rare, and she definitely wants to participate. It's a special reward!
Granny Xu cried out, "I'm kneeling down for you! Please save Jinbao! Siya, Siya, please save Jinbao!" She rushed in and grabbed Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia quickly hid behind Comrade Cheng Xiuying.
Cheng Xiuying slapped Xu Pozi's hand away, saying, "Speak properly, why are you pulling me like that?" She then put her arm around Yu Jiajia and shielded her behind her.
At this moment, Granny Xu didn't care about the pain at all. "Xiuying, it was all my fault before. Please, please let Jiajia save Jinbao. Jinbao choked on the meat and can't speak anymore." She started wailing again.
It was noisy outside. Xu Shangjin and Xu Dali were carrying Xu Jinbao into the house when Cheng Xiuying stopped them at the door.
She was speechless: "How old are you? How could you choke twice?"
Wang Cuifen immediately knelt down on the ground, pleading, "Jiajia, please save Jinbao, I'll kowtow to you."
Xu Jinbao choked even more this time, his face turned blue, and he barely had the strength to struggle anymore, looking as if he were dead.
No matter how disgusting the Xu family is, no one can just watch Xu Jinbao choke to death like that; that would be abandoning someone to their fate.
Yu Songqing went over to take Xu Jinbao over, but Xu Shangjin said, "Are you sure you can handle it? Maybe we should let Siya go instead?"
Cheng Xiuying slapped Xu Shangjin across the face: "Do you want to watch your son die? Then take him away, don't leave him at my doorstep."
The others in the courtyard also gathered around, and when they saw that Xu Jinbao was choking again, they rushed over and said, "I'll do it! I can!"
Fang Dayong managed to grab a spot, picked up Xu Jinbao, and started playing rock-paper-scissors. By the third time, Xu Jinbao's face was still bluish-purple, and he didn't seem to be vomiting. Fang Dayong was a little unsure. "Is this the right way?"
Yu Jiajia provided technical guidance throughout: "Press harder."
Fang Dayong pressed the button twice more, and Xu Jinbao spat out a large piece of braised pork.
But she didn't cry.
Next came the "Worker-Peasant-Soldier First Aid Technique." Fang Dayong's technique was correct, and his artificial respiration was also very effective. Yu Jiajia sang "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman" on the side and taught him to count the rhythm. With his help,
A minute later, Xu Jinbao opened his eyes while coughing.
Women hold up half the sky, and hereby award a special prize: 100 yuan + fruit platter + 5 face creams. Advanced 'Crisis Prediction' skill *1 (1/5)
Yu Jiajia was so happy!
The rewards are too generous, especially 'Advanced Prediction', which is a life-saving skill. It sounds very reassuring.
With the stun gun in use, her safety is very well guaranteed.
Fang Dayong was also excited. He shouted, "My God, it really can save lives! I saved Xu Jinbao! I am Xu Jinbao's savior."
Cheng Xiuying watched coldly. Xu Jinbao was really something, choking twice in a row. The key point was that even after choking once, the Xu family hadn't learned any 'first aid techniques,' and at this critical moment, they were still thinking of disgusting people.
Why force Yu Jiajia to save Xu Jinbao? What are they thinking?
Now that he's been saved by that scoundrel Fang Dayong, there's bound to be some trouble coming up.
Fang Dayong: "Come on, I'll take you home. Does your family eat red meat? I worked up a sweat saving you, and I used up all my yang energy on you, so you need to replenish it properly."
Xu Jinbao was completely exhausted and limp. He had once again been on the verge of death, and was only able to be helped back by Fang Dayong and his son Fang Wendong.
Granny Xu rushed to snatch her grandson, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
Fang Dayong: "I'm Jinbao's savior, so don't be so polite with me. From now on, consider me your godson, and remember to take care of me during holidays. I need to talk to the factory and the neighborhood committee later; I also saved someone!"
No wonder he fought so hard and managed to snatch Xu Jinbao away, thinking he could get some benefits.
Granny Xu's face was extremely gloomy. She could be so shameless towards the Xu family because the Yu siblings still had some sense of face, and Cheng Xiuying just happened to be away from home.
Now that she's been dealt with by the Fang family, Granny Xu is at her wit's end.
She regretted stopping Yu Songqing earlier; she should have let Yu Songqing save Jinbao.
Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh too.
Everyone is annoyed by the Xu family.
The Xu family quickly followed Fang Dayong back home. There was still half a plate of braised pork on the table; they didn't want Fang Dayong to eat it all.
Grandma Zhou shook her head, "What kind of family is this?"
Pan Hongying pouted: "He just came back from training at the police station and choked before he could finish his meal. How old is he? Choking twice in a row? Is he a reincarnated starving ghost?"
Everyone dispersed, and the Yu family also went home.
Yu Songqing frowned: "Are they doing this on purpose? Do they think they can't choke to death? Are they trying to take advantage of Jiajia?"
Yu Songyan: "Like a toad looking in a mirror, it can't even see its own true colors. The Xu family, this bunch of clowns... should just get lost."
He glanced at the fake seal on the dresser. Xu Dali was cunning; he might take the bait without even needing to be caught. However, since the Xu family would be entangled with Fang Dayong's family for some time, he still needed to cast some bait.
Cheng Xiuying: "Second brother, find a way. If you need help, just say so."
Yu Songyan nodded.
Cheng Xiuying grabbed Yu Jiajia's wrist: "Sibao, if you ever encounter someone in trouble, you must never save a man like that. If he really deserves to die, then let him die."
Yu Jiajia looked at Cheng Xiuying's taut jawline and nodded solemnly, "Mom, I'll listen to you."
