Chapter 119: Sterilization Jiaojiao also took the college entrance examination
If Ding Hongwang had to go to a vocational school, Jiang Yuqin and her husband would only be more strapped for cash. If Ding Hongwang lived on campus, the room and boarding fees wouldn't be much, but he still needed living expenses every month, and that couldn't be lowered.
Jiang Yuqin was reluctant to spend the money. If her family had money, it would be fine. But if her family didn't have money, and Ding Hongwang went to a vocational and technical school, her family would have a hard time.
"Or maybe it's better not to go," Jiang Yuqin said. "Some vocational and technical schools these days just charge money. Many people go, but in the end it's useless. This means that by going to a vocational and technical school, Hongwang doesn't have to go out to work so early. He can wait for two or three years, when he's older."
Ding Chao was also pondering this question. If Ding Hongwang were to attend a vocational school, the family wouldn't have the money. He couldn't let his own children stop studying while they were still in school. His own son still needed to continue his education; he couldn't afford to skip it. Without education now, it would be difficult for ordinary people to advance in life.
There are some uneducated people who make a lot of money, but this does not mean that every uneducated person can make a lot of money.
"Ask him." Ding Chao said.
When Mr. and Mrs. Ding Chao asked Ding Hongwang about this at the dinner table, Ding Hongwang knew what they were thinking. If they had already prepared the money for Ding Hongwang's vocational school, they wouldn't have asked Ding Hongwang at this moment. They would have definitely taken care of it.
"I won't read it anymore." Ding Hongwang said. If he continued to read, these people would be even more dissatisfied with him.
"Not studying anymore?" Jiang Yuqin was surprised. She thought Ding Hongwang would say that he wanted to continue studying, but she didn't expect Ding Hongwang to say that he didn't want to study anymore.
"Well, I won't study anymore." Ding Hongwang said, "I'm not your biological son. It's already very difficult for you to let me study until junior high school. When I graduate from junior high school, I will go out to work and find a factory job."
Jiang Yuqin could hear the sarcasm in Ding Hongwang's tone. Jiang Yuqin looked at Ding Chao, who acted as if nothing had happened.
"There are a lot of factories in the development zone, we could go look there," Ding Chao said. He had supported Ding Hongwang for so many years, yet he still hadn't been promoted. It would be a lie to say Ding Chao had no thoughts; he simply didn't show them.
The development zone is quite far from this street, so it's not convenient for Ding Hongwang to take the bus back. If the factory works overtime later, there are no buses, and some factories even have to work three shifts.
"The rent there isn't particularly expensive, and some factories even provide food and accommodation, which is convenient." Jiang Yuqin said quickly, "Hongwang, you've grown up, and when you start working, you'll be in charge of your own money. We won't take your earnings, so keep them safe. It's best not to leave them in the dormitory, where there are other people and they might steal them. If you don't need that much money, put it in the bank."
Jiang Yuqin didn't dare ask Ding Hongwang to give her the money. It wasn't her money, it was Ding Hongwang's money. As long as Ding Hongwang left home to work, Ding Hongwang's room would be vacant, and Jiang Yuqin thought her son could live there.
"You'll need money to marry a wife in the future," Jiang Yuqin said. "Your father and I will save some money for you, and you have to save some money yourself too."
Jiang Yuqin said this, but she wished Ding Hongwang could save up enough money to marry his own wife, preferably without any money from his family. When Ding Hongwang got married, if he asked for money, Jiang Yuqin could say that she would pay less. It would be best if Ding Hongwang could find a wife who didn't ask for a dowry.
"I save money myself." Ding Hongwang said.
After Jiang Yuqin had her own son, Ding Hongwang felt that he was not treated well and that his adoptive mother only cared about her biological son. Ding Hongwang hated that Jiang Yuqin acted very nice to him, but Jiang Yuqin did not do that well.
Jiang Yuqin was in a good mood when she heard Ding Hongwang's words. "Hongwang, some of your classmates also went to work after graduating from junior high school. It doesn't matter whether you go to this vocational and technical school or not. This school is useless. It's better to go out to work early and earn more money for a few more years."
Ding Hongwang looked at Ding Chao. They all thought the same thing, didn't they? Ding Hongwang's grades weren't good, and he didn't like studying. That was his problem. His family didn't have the money to send him to a vocational school, so that was his family's problem.
This couple must have wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Ding Hongwang heard that the reason his biological father got into trouble was largely due to his adoptive father, and his adoptive father should have raised him. Ding Hongwang didn't tell Ding Chao those words. What he knew was that Ding Chao was unwilling to spend more money on him.
"When I get a job, I'll live in the factory dormitory," Ding Hongwang said. "Give the room to your younger brother."
Ding Hongwang knew that even if he didn't say it, these people would do it.
"Hongwang has grown up." Jiang Yuqin sighed.
When the neighbors learned that Ding Hongwang wasn't going to vocational school, they weren't surprised. Tuition for a semester at a vocational school isn't cheap, and Jiang Yuqin and her husband aren't good at saving money. They still rent, and they have two children. It's impossible for Jiang Yuqin and her husband to continue wasting money on Ding Hongwang. Ding Hongwang knew who his biological parents were, and his mother had visited him several times.
When the neighbors talked about Ding Hongwang, they also felt sorry for him.
"After all, we are not the biological parents of the child, so it is impossible for us to control the child's grades."
"It's good for children with poor academic performance to go to vocational schools. They can start working later and become more mature."
"I have to go out to work so early, I don't know if my child can handle it."
"If it were my child, I would definitely send him to a vocational and technical school. There's no way I wouldn't send him to a vocational and technical school."
…
Jiang Yuqin didn't care what the neighbors said; she only knew that Ding Hongwang was willing to work. As long as Ding Hongwang didn't think about continuing his studies, that was fine. Jiang Yuqin thought Ding Hongwang's grades were too poor, and that it was really useless for him to go to a vocational school.
Niu Cuihua and his wife had saved some money over the years, and they were giving Jiang's mother some pension money every month. It was more stable, and they could pay it every month. Unlike before, when money was tight and they always had to prioritize the children, Niu Cuihua and his wife didn't have as much money as Jiang's mother. Niu Cuihua and his wife also returned the registration fee Jiang's mother had given them.
Given Jiang's mother's age, Niu Cuihua and her husband felt embarrassed to spend more of her money. Living with Jiang Moli, Jiang's mother hardly had to spend any money, and she could even save some. It was all Jiang's mother's money, so Niu Cuihua and her husband didn't think much of it. They knew they had already spent a lot of Jiang's mother's money, and it was only right that she give it all to Jiang Moli.
Zhao Jiaojiao was a freshman in 1983, about to take the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination). Her junior high school grades weren't very good, so her family spent a bit more money to send her to high school, where she chose to pursue an arts degree. While she wasn't sure which art school she'd end up attending, she went through the required interviews, as some media schools and comprehensive universities also accepted art students.
Jiang Moli didn't bother with Zhao Jiaojiao's affairs. She occasionally asked a question, but didn't ask too many questions. Zhao Jiaojiao's future still had to be planned by Zhao Jiaojiao and Niu Cuihua. Jiang Moli couldn't plan so much.
The children of my brother and sister-in-law are also other people’s children. Relatives should still know the limits and not try to control everything.
During the Gaokao, Jiang's mother didn't cook much for Zhao Jiaojiao, fearing she might get an upset stomach. She thought if she cooked less, it might be better. She didn't go to the school gate to wait for Jiaojiao to finish the Gaokao, but stayed home.
Jiang Moli returned home. She thought her mother had gone to Niu Cuihua and her husband's place. "The college entrance examination is over today."
"I know." Jiang's mother said, "After Jiaojiao finishes the college entrance examination, she needs to rest. I won't go there today. I don't know if she can pass the exam. Her academic performance is not very good. There are many people applying to art schools in the capital."
"I didn't apply to any art college in the capital, I applied to Nancheng University of Communication." Jiang Moli said.
"Didn't you say you wanted to apply to an art school in the capital?" Jiang's mother asked.
"That's what I originally thought," Jiang Moli said. "The others were too strong, and Jiaojiao's interview ranking didn't give her an advantage. Many people wanted to apply to art schools in the capital, but with so many people, so few were accepted. Jiaojiao and her sister-in-law thought it was better to be safe, so they applied to Nancheng University of Communication."
"That's fine." Jiang's mother nodded. "Studying in South City instead of going to the capital is fine, fine."
The capital is so big, Zhao Jiaojiao went there alone, she was unfamiliar with the place, and it would be difficult to find anyone to help her with something. If Zhao Jiaojiao studied at Nancheng Media University, then it would be in Nancheng, and if there was anything, everyone could go there.
"The admission score for local students at Nancheng School can be a few points lower," Jiang Moli said.
This is also the reason why Zhao Jiaojiao plans to take the entrance exam for Nancheng Communication University. A slightly lower score means that Zhao Jiaojiao has a greater chance of passing.
Jiang Moli's baby is in kindergarten now. He's quite bright, and the child attends a bilingual kindergarten. He'll then go directly to the same school's elementary, middle, and high schools... all connected. The school has a strong faculty, with many excellent teachers. Tuition is expensive, but Jiang Moli and her husband don't care; they only care about their child's academic performance.
The baby is on summer vacation, and Sheng Jiahao has hired a tutor for him. The baby always follows his father to the backyard, saying he wants to grow vegetables for his parents and the whole family.
Father Jiang could only watch the baby for a moment, fearing that the baby would get hurt. The baby wasn't hurt, just covered in mud.
"Baby." When Jiang Moli went to the backyard, she saw the baby digging the soil with a shovel. "Are you going to dig a hole?"
"No, it's a pile of dirt." The baby said, "Mom, I'm grown up now, don't call me baby anymore."
"Okay, don't call me baby, call me Xuanxuan or Haoxuan, is that okay?" Jiang Moli said.
"Yes." Xiao Sheng Haoxuan nodded vigorously, "The baby has grown up, Haoxuan has grown up."
"Okay, you've grown up, you've grown up." Jiang Moli said.
"I can eat a lot of rice." Little Sheng Haoxuan said, "I'm a big kid, a big kid."
"Okay, big boy." Jiang Moli chuckled.
Pan Yun did not give Shi Nan another son, but gave birth to a daughter. Pan Yun's health was not good, and Mrs. Pan did not plan to let Pan Yun have another child.
Therefore, Mrs. Pan went to find Shi Nan and asked him to have a sterilization.
Shi Nan hadn't expected that after Madam Pan had said a few words about the Pan family, she would ultimately ask him to get sterilized. It wasn't that Shi Nan couldn't run his own business, but it was still difficult for him to separate from the Pan family. Shi Nan relied on the Pan family to expand his business, but compared to the Pan family's business, Shi Nan's business wasn't that big.
"You should get sterilized. It's the same for both boys and girls. When the time comes, you can just have one of your daughters marry into the family. The child will take your surname," Mrs. Pan said. "Don't you want to?"
"It's not that I don't want to, Pan Yun, do you know that?" Shi Nan asked.
"I told her, and she has no objection," Mrs. Pan said. "If you really want to do this for her own good, you should get sterilized. Or are you thinking of having a son with another woman?"
"no……"
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're where you are now thanks to our Pan family," Mrs. Pan said. "Our Pan family can lift you up, and we can also bring you down. You're different from Yunyun's father. His father is a natural, not someone who relies on me. Think about it carefully. If you don't want to be with another woman, then get a sterilization. Do you think you should have an illegitimate child?"
Mrs. Pan was not afraid of Shi Nan at all. She even dared to ask Pan Yun to divorce Shi Nan directly. Then Shi Nan would be the only one who would suffer. Shi Nan understood what Mrs. Pan meant. Mrs. Pan wanted him to get sterilized. Whether he agreed or not, he had to do it.
"Or you should discuss it with your mother and see if she can find you a second wife so that you can give birth to a boy?" Mrs. Pan said.
"No need to discuss it with her, I'll get sterilized." Shi Nan said.
“…” Mrs. Pan looked at Shi Nan. Shi Nan nodded. Mrs. Pan felt a little bit unbelievable again.
"Someone like my mother really doesn't deserve to have grandchildren." Shi Nan sneered.
It's not that Shi Nan doesn't want a son; he just thinks his mother doesn't deserve a grandson. Shi Nan himself was made into this state by his own mother. If he were still working at the Development Zone Investment Promotion Office, others would be relying on him, not him constantly trying to curry favor. Those who used to work with Shi Nan got promoted. Shi Nan is treated like a grandson to them. Even though they don't have that much money, they're officials.
"Your mother..." Mrs. Pan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Mom, don't worry. I have two daughters, which is enough for me." Shi Nan said, "Whether to marry a son-in-law or not, we can wait until the children grow up. They are still young now. As for the vasectomy, I can go tomorrow. Do you know a doctor? You can arrange it directly!"
"Then...then do it tomorrow." Seeing Shi Nan so decisive, Mrs. Pan thought that she would have to let someone take a look at it to make sure it was not a fake sterilization.
Shi Nan did not discuss this with his mother. He went to the hospital with Mrs. Pan the next day to get a simple checkup and wait a day to get the vasectomy done. Mrs. Pan did not tell the Shi family, and Pan Yun naturally could not tell them either. By the time his mother found out, Shi Nan had already had the vasectomy.
Shi's mother rushed to Shi Nan's house and started scolding Mrs. Pan as soon as she saw her.
"You can't give birth to a son, and your daughter can't give birth to a son either, but you want my son to have a sterilization. What's the logic?" said Shi's mother.
"As long as he's not planning on finding another woman, does it matter whether he's sterilized or not?" Mrs. Pan asked. "Your own son has agreed, so why are you making a fuss?"
"Even if he didn't find another woman, you shouldn't let him get sterilized. It's harmful to his health." Shi's mother said, "In many families, women get IUDs."
"If you can't get an IUD, your son has to get sterilized," Mrs. Pan said coldly. "With family planning, I even asked my daughter to bear your son a second child. That's already a great honor for him."
"If you really think highly of him, you shouldn't have let him get sterilized," Shi's mother said. "If he gets sterilized, what's the difference between him and a eunuch?"
"Eunuchs are inhumane. Shi Nan is okay; the most he can do is not get a woman pregnant," Madam Pan said. "This matter has been settled. I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Do you know what your son said?"
"What did you say?" Shi Mu had a bad feeling.
"You're not worthy of having a grandson!" Mrs. Pan said. "Your son said that himself, not me. If you don't believe me, go ask your son."
Mother Shi stumbled back two steps, knowing that what Mrs. Pan said was very likely true. Shi Nan really disliked her as her biological mother, and Mother Shi could feel it. Mother Shi didn't know how things had come to this. She didn't have the courage to ask Shi Nan, so she could only go back in shame.
Back home, Shi's mother sat alone in the living room for a long time without saying a word. Seeing Shi's mother like that, Shi's father poured his wife a glass of water.
"Shi Nan...he got a sterilization. Do you know why he got it done so quickly?" Shi's mother's eyes were red.
"Why?" asked Shi's father.
"He doesn't want me to have a grandson, saying I'm not worthy of having one," said Shi's mother.
"Who told you that?" Shi's father asked, "Did the Pan family tell you that?"
"His mother-in-law said that. I know. Shi Nan might really say that." Shi's mother said. She thought of the formed male fetus, the bloody male fetus.
At that time, Shi Nan dared to put the fully formed male fetus in a box and give it to Shi's mother, so now Shi Nan dares to get a sterilization done directly.
"Shi Nan...how did he become like this?" Shi's mother asked, "Are we not good enough to him?"
"..." It was hard for Shi's father to say whether they were good to Shi Nan or not. The main reason was that after Shi Nan was admitted to high school, Shi's mother had to take care of a lot of things.
When Shi Nan was in junior high school, his mother behaved very well. When Shi Nan entered high school, his mother forbade this person from contacting him, or that person from contacting him. This was done to avoid affecting his studies and ensure he would get a good grade on the college entrance exam. However, when Shi Nan entered college, his mother became concerned that the girls on the street might have feelings for him, and this offended many people.
Shi Nan's love for Jiang Moli was something his parents had never expected. They also hadn't expected Shi Nan to confess his love to Jiang Moli after graduating from school. At that time, Jiang Moli was already engaged, so it was impossible for her to be with Shi Nan.
Later, the incidents involving Bai Meiqi and the female college student made Shi Nan more and more twisted.
When Shi Nan was still in college, he had already become distorted. He just kept thinking that after he graduated from college, he would go find Jiang Moli and be with her. Shi Nan imagined everything to be very beautiful and thought Sheng Jiahao would break up with Jiang Moli. However, things did not develop as Shi Nan expected. Jiang Moli rejected Shi Nan's confession.
Shi Nan couldn't be with Jiang Moli, so he thought about being with his boss's niece. If Shi's mother hadn't gone to the wedding banquet, Shi Nan's situation would have been better.
Even at this time, Shi Mu still did not realize her problem.
"The Pan family is so despicable. They forced Shi Nan to get sterilized. This must be the case." Shi's mother looked at Shi's father. "We haven't seen Shi Nan many times in recent years. How could we have caused Shi Nan to become like this? It must be the Pan family, it must be the Pan family."
"It's them, it's them." Shi's father was worried about Shi's mother's mental state, so he agreed with his wife's words.
"I went to look for them, but Pan Yun's mother still had the nerve to say it was my fault." Shi's mother said, "They are not good people. They shouldn't have let Shi Nan marry Pan Yun. It's really wrong."
Niu Cuihua had told Jiang Moli about Shi Nan's sterilization, and everyone in the neighborhood knew about it. Shi's mother even went to find Mrs. Pan about this matter, but it was useless. The sterilization had already been done, so what was the point in looking for her again?
"Shi Nan's wife's biological mother is really amazing." Niu Cuihua sighed.
"It's quite impressive." Jiang Moli nodded. Sheng Jiahao went to get a sterilization on his own, and Jiang's mother didn't need to tell her, and it was impossible for Jiang's mother to tell her.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were not unhappy about Sheng Jiahao getting a sterilization. They even thought it was a good idea for him to get one. Sheng Jiahao was a man, and men had good health. He didn't need to have a son with another woman, nor did he need Jiang Moli to have more children.
When Sheng Jiahao went for a vasectomy, Jiang Moli didn't know about it. She only found out after Sheng Jiahao had the vasectomy. Jiang Moli asked why Sheng Jiahao didn't tell her. Sheng Jiahao said that whether he told her or not, the result would be the same.
"Shi Nan's mother has changed a lot." Niu Cuihua said, "She just wanted a grandson, but her son got sterilized, so she won't have any grandsons anymore, only granddaughters. In the past, there were people in the neighborhood who only had daughters and no sons, and Shi Nan's mother would laugh at them, saying it was just a fine for having more children than allowed, and it was worth it for a grandson. She said others couldn't afford to have a boy, couldn't pay the fine, and that their families didn't have money..."
"His mother is that kind of person." Jiang Moli said, "If their family has a little money, they're just like the richest man in the country."
"Yeah." Niu Cuihua nodded.
"Are the college entrance examination results out?" Jiang Moli asked.
"We have to wait a few more days," Niu Cuihua said. "If we calculate based on the cutoff scores from previous years, Jiaojiao should be able to get in. But previous years are previous years, and this year is this year. I'm afraid the cutoff scores this year are too high, and we won't be able to get in."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Moli said, "There must be books to read."
"I hope so. I've thought about it. If she doesn't pass, I'll let her repeat the year," Niu Cuihua said. "Let's see how it goes. If she still doesn't pass, then there's nothing we can do but go to a worse school. But if she repeats another year, we can handle it, but I don't know if she can."
Niu Cuihua was worried that Zhao Jiaojiao couldn't handle it. The pressure of being in the third year of high school was very great, especially great. Zhao Jiaojiao had lost a lot of hair. When Niu Cuihua went to clean Zhao Jiaojiao's room, she saw a lot of hair on the floor of Zhao Jiaojiao's room.
If possible, Niu Cuihua still doesn't want Zhao Jiaojiao to repeat the year, but hopes that Zhao Jiaojiao can go to college directly.
"Don't worry." Jiang Moli said, "After the college entrance examination results come out, we still have to wait for the admission notice."
"It's in the south city, it will be quick." Niu Cuihua said.
"Well, it will be soon. But we also have to send out the admission letters at the same time." Jiang Moli said.
Niu Cuihua sat at Jiang Moli's house for a while and then went back without eating here. Jiang Moli asked Niu Cuihua to take some things back, and Niu Cuihua did not come here empty-handed.
In the evening, Jiang Moli talked about Shi Nan with Sheng Jiahao in the room. She found it a little unbelievable.
"I thought Shi Nan would want a son, and that it would be too late to get sterilized after he had a boy," Jiang Moli said, "but he's already been sterilized. Even if his mother-in-law wants him to get sterilized, he can probably delay it."
"He's a bit crazy," Sheng Jiahao said. "He's also ruthless in business."
Sheng Jiahao and Shi Nan didn't do the same business, but he knew some things about Shi Nan. Not only was Shi Nan ruthless, the Pan family was also ruthless in their business, and they were also involved with some people in the dark.
"People like this won't be able to stay in business for long." Sheng Jiahao said. The most important thing is that some of the things involved are illegal.
"Have you offended many people?" Jiang Moli asked.
"No," Sheng Jiahao said, "Nowadays, when people do business, the government doesn't regulate it too strictly, so some people are too reckless. There are no problems now, but there will definitely be problems in the future. Some things can't be ignored just because they have been in the past for many years."
Sheng Jiahao hadn't cooperated with Shi Nan or the Pan family. He had people check all the companies he had worked with. Minor issues were fine, but serious ones were better left alone. There were other options.
South City is huge, and the Pan family can't completely dominate, but they can still do something. Sheng Jiahao didn't want to clash with the Pan family. He didn't want to use his relatives' connections in relevant departments to do anything shady. Sheng Jiahao just did things legally, paid taxes legally, and was an upright person.
Money made from illegal activities comes too quickly, so there are always people who take risks.
"Shi Nan is a bit crazy." Sheng Jiahao emphasized this point again, "If you meet him, don't get close to him."
"I haven't met him many times in the whole year." Jiang Moli said.
"He went to see your performance." Sheng Jiahao said.
"..." Jiang Moli tilted her head and looked at Sheng Jiahao, "You know everything?"
"I've seen him." Sheng Jiahao said, "I didn't go there, but I know he went there sometimes."
"I didn't even notice." Jiang Moli said, "There were so many people in the audience that I didn't even bother looking at anyone."
Jiang Moli was telling the truth. She really didn't stare at the people in the audience, and didn't think about whether Shi Nan was in there. Whether Shi Nan was in there or not, it didn't affect Jiang Moli's performance.
"You don't need to look." Sheng Jiahao said, "I guess he still can't forget you."
"No way?" Jiang Moli said.
"He's never been in a relationship with you, and he's never been with you, but he likes you so much, so naturally he can't forget you." Sheng Jiahao said, "You'll always miss what you can't have."
"It's impossible for me to be with him." Jiang Moli said "eh".
"Of course you can't be with him, you have me." Sheng Jiahao chuckled, "No matter what he thinks, it's useless. This time, he got sterilized, probably not for others, but because others told him to, and he thought it was right, so he got sterilized."
"You know him quite well." Jiang Moli couldn't help but say so.
"Not really." Sheng Jiahao said, "You can't think of someone like him with common sense."
After Shi Nan had a sterilization, Xie Shaojun and Shi Kaihua were shocked. They did not expect Shi Nan to do that. You know, Shi Nan did not have a son yet. If Shi Nan had not had a sterilization, he could have secretly found another woman to have a child.
Xie Shaojun and Shi Kaihua went out for a drink with Shi Nan. The three of them drank at a roadside food stall instead of going to a private room in the hotel.
"Shi Nan, you are like this." Xie Shaojun gave Shi Nan a thumbs up. "When they said you should get sterilized, you just went and got it done. Do you know how angry your mother is? She told everyone you met that your mother-in-law wanted you to have no children and grandchildren, and that she was a black-hearted person."
"My mother-in-law treats her daughter very well." Shi Nan said, "She is the one who truly treats her daughter well."
Mrs. Pan always considered Pan Yun's interests and never tried to trick her. Shi Nan sometimes envied Pan Yun and thought it would be great if her own mother could be like Mrs. Pan. Unfortunately, Shi's mother was different from Mrs. Pan. She was more concerned about her own glory than Shi Nan.
Shi Nan felt that being Shi Mu's son was too hard. Shi Mu always said some nonsense, and she never did things well, and always messed them up. Shi Mu didn't think it was her own problem, she only thought it was someone else's problem.
If Shi's mother had not said anything about Jiang Moli, if Shi Nan had confessed his feelings to Jiang Moli earlier, he should have been able to be with Jiang Moli. Shi Nan often thought so. When he saw Jiang Moli, who was so dazzling on the stage, his heart ached.
Shi Nan has been married to Pan Yun for several years, but he has not forgotten Jiang Moli and always thinks of her from time to time. Jiang Moli is too outstanding to be forgotten.
"Your mother-in-law is good to her own daughter." Xie Shaojun said.
"After vasectomy, can I still undergo surgery for recovery?" asked Shi Kaihua.
"No need to recover." Shi Nan said, "The Pan family is indeed quite powerful, and we still need to rely on them."
It would be great if the Pan family only had one daughter, but unfortunately they don’t.
Shi Nan couldn't swallow up the Pan family. The illegitimate children of the Pan family were indeed very capable. Shi Nan could feel the gap between himself and those people. Those people had received good education since childhood and they also knew how to compete.
This is not a fight for the throne in ancient times, no one will die. In the end, those people will still be able to decide the winner and someone will take over the company.
Shi Nan couldn't take over the Pan family, so if he wanted to develop his company better, he had to rely on the Pan family.
"Then it's too difficult for you." Shi Kaihua said.
"You know how difficult it is now." Xie Shaojun looked at Shi Kaihua. "Doing business is not easy at all. There are many things you need to pay attention to. We worked hard while you were in jail. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get such a high salary when you got out. Don't worry, as long as we have something to eat, you will have something to eat too."
Shi Kaihua earned a high salary at the company but did little to contribute. Some people had complaints about him, but there was nothing they could do. They all knew Shi Kaihua had a close relationship with Xie Shaojun and Shi Nan, and those who knew a little about the situation kept quiet. Not everyone was willing to convict someone and go to jail.
Those who knew a little about the situation thought Shi Kaihua was a ruthless person. He took all the blame for the crimes and spent almost five years in prison. It's no wonder Shi Kaihua is now making so much money. He didn't really have to do much; it was in exchange for five years of freedom.
"Thank you very much." Shi Kaihua said.
"What are you thanking us for? We should thank you too." Xie Shaojun said, "Your wife hasn't said much about you, has she?"
"If you can take the money back, she'll stop talking." Shi Kaihua said, "You all know how bad her temper is right now. I can only give in to her a little."
"She's pretty good. She didn't divorce you and has been taking care of the child." Xie Shaojun said, "You two should talk it out."
"I've been out of jail for quite some time now," Shi Kaihua said. "I'm doing fine now. How about you?"
Xie Shaojun was married and had several mistresses. Xie Shaojun was wealthy, and his wife knew about his extramarital affairs, but she didn't say much, as long as he brought money home. Xie Shaojun told his wife that if she interfered, he would not give her the money and they would divorce. After hearing that, Xie Shaojun's wife didn't dare to interfere.
Shi Kaihua wasn't as wealthy as Xie Shaojun, so he didn't consider keeping a mistress. This was mainly because Fan Xiaoxue had stood by him for all those years while he was in prison. Shi Kaihua felt that Fan Xiaoxue had been very kind to him, and he couldn't do anything to let her down. When Xie Shaojun took Shi Kaihua out to play, Shi Kaihua wouldn't go to certain places because he didn't want to go back and argue with Fan Xiaoxue.
Shi Nan didn't go to those places with Xie Shaojun. He couldn't let the Pan family think there was something wrong with him. It was okay for Boss Pan to have a lover, but that didn't mean he would allow his son-in-law to do the same. If Shi Nan had become rich on his own and had a mistress outside, Boss Pan wouldn't say much. The key was that Shi Nan relied on the Pan family. So Shi Nan had to satisfy the Pan family and couldn't make them unhappy.
The Pan family’s business is so big, as long as those people leak a little bit of something, Shi Nan can make more money.
"That's how I am," Xie Shaojun said. "Let them live in the same community. I can go to one house or another when I want to."
Xie Shaojun lit a cigarette and handed another to Shi Kaihua. Shi Nan didn't smoke. Shi Nan knew that Jiang Moli didn't like smokers, so he didn't stay with Jiang Moli. He always remembered that Jiang Moli avoided those who smoked.
Others only thought that Shi Nan was a college graduate and that he just didn't like smoking. Shi Nan himself knew why he didn't smoke. He remembered Jiang Moli's sweet smile and her grace on stage.
"Do they have any objections to you doing this?" Shi Kaihua asked, "They haven't met each other?"
"They all know," Xie Shaojun said. "I told them, if they want to stay, they can stay. If they don't want to stay, I'll give them some money and they can leave on their own. Of course they don't want to leave. I have a house for them to live in and money for them to spend. Apart from a marriage certificate, I treat them much better than those men. Some couples who have obtained a marriage certificate, the husband can't give his wife so much. They are much better off following me than marrying someone else."
"..." When Shi Kaihua heard Xie Shaojun say this, he felt that Xie Shaojun was also capable. Xie Shaojun could actually handle these things so well.
"If they give birth to my child, the house will be registered in their name," Xie Shaojun said. "They will still receive money every month. They are very happy."
"Take it easy." Shi Nan reminded Xie Shaojun.
"It's okay, they know how to get along well." Xie Shaojun said, "I didn't find many people, just two or three. You two, one has a wife who has waited for you for years, and the other has a wife who is very capable, so you can only stay with them. You make so much money, but you can't enjoy it properly. We men make money, isn't it to have more women?"
Before Xie Shaojun made it big, he was thinking about having more women. Now that he's rich, he's really doing it. He's also been with other women, but they've only been together for a few months before breaking up. Xie Shaojun only stays with women he likes a little bit longer.
"Even after making money, I still have to live like an ascetic. This life is not easy." Xie Shaojun just doesn't want to stay with one woman. For him, staying with one woman is too pure and abstinent. Xie Shaojun sometimes goes to bars. "Some female college students are not bad, but they want too much."
"Are you still with a female college student?" Shi Kaihua asked.
"We lived together." Xie Shaojun said.
These men just like to say these things when they are together. Xie Shaojun's words were heard by the women next to him. One of them directly poured a basin of water on Xie Shaojun, and then ran away. When Xie Shaojun turned around, he only saw the woman's back. This made Xie Shaojun very angry, but he was drunk and walked a little unsteadily, so he did not chase after her.
"It's better to say less." Shi Kaihua said.
"Did you see what she looked like?" Xie Shaojun asked.
"It was too dark and her movements were too quick, so I couldn't see clearly." Shi Kaihua said. Even as a man, he felt that what Xie Shaojun said was too much. It was no wonder that the woman next to him was angry.
One day, when Jiang Moli and her husband were taking their baby out for a walk, they saw a man grab a dog and throw it to the ground. Jiang Moli and her husband did not let the baby get on, but quickly covered the baby's eyes.
"I told you not to walk your dog without a leash." The man threw the dog to the ground and hit it twice with a wooden stick. The dog howled a few times and then stopped struggling.
The dog owner quickly came over and said, "This is my dog. Do you know how much it costs?"
"Which is more important, the dog or the person? Look at what has happened to my daughter's leg?" The man was really angry. He took his daughter out to play, and when his daughter was walking in front, she was bitten by a dog that suddenly jumped out. How could he not be angry?
