"Fool."
Liu Sanmei looked at her mentally challenged son and didn't know what to say.
Old Wang sat there without saying anything, but the Wang couple kept implying that they wanted to make a quick buck and get their son a better job.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
It's best to ask your daughter-in-law about this.
“Mom and Dad, I still have a deed for a three-story villa. Why don’t we use it to build a new house for the youngest son and his wife? We’ll also give them 10,000 yuan as a bride price and buy some appliances to furnish their new home.”
"Mother, do you think this is alright?"
This house deed was part of the betrothal gift that Liu Sanmei and her husband gave to Ruan Heng after they reunited with her.
She doesn't need it, so it's better to give it to the eldest brother.
As for the property and treasures left by her father, they were all given to her after her daughter returned to Beijing.
"Alright. I'll add a few more nicer pieces of jewelry later, and that should be enough."
Let alone the house that has already been given to He Ruyi, even their current assets will belong to their son and daughter-in-law after they pass away.
He Ruyi can make decisions as she pleases.
"What do you say about the Wang family's request to secure official positions for Xin Yue's brother and sister?"
Shen Yongjun asked.
Actually, he could have just given a heads-up.
I'm afraid those two people aren't capable enough to do the job and will just tarnish his reputation.
"Grandpa, Xinyue has already told me about this."
Ruan Shiping had heard of his wife's two older brothers.
Although Mr. Wang had been retired for many years, he still had connections within the military.
However, he heard that his two brothers-in-law were not in good physical condition and were lazy and unwilling to join the army.
So the military route is now closed.
It just so happens that Shen Yongjun has several subordinates and old friends in politics, so he wants to use this connection to get closer to them.
By then, the Wang family will have people in both the military and political circles; they've certainly made a good plan.
"Xin Yue means that we should ignore this unreasonable demand."
After the meal, Wang Xinyue saw the Ruan family to the door. During this time, Wang Xinyue privately explained her thoughts on the matter to Ruan Shiping.
Regarding the bride price, the Ruan family only needs to provide a reasonable amount. In return, she will have the Wang family provide a dowry.
However, Wang Xinyue strongly disagreed with the additional conditions that came with promoting her older and younger brothers.
At home, although their parents and even grandparents seemed to treat the three siblings equally, they still favored the older and younger brothers.
They made these unreasonable demands without ever considering whether she would feel embarrassed in her husband's family or whether their demands were excessive.
Although her grandfather didn't approve, he tacitly agreed. Hearing her parents make exorbitant demands and insist on putting Adou on the throne, she felt a chill in her heart.
After she marries into the Ruan family, she will be a member of the Ruan family, sharing both prosperity and adversity with them.
Even if her parents scolded her for being heartless, she couldn't ruin the Ruan family's reputation.
After all, her older and younger brothers were not exactly pragmatic and ambitious young people.
"Won't doing this put Xinyue in a difficult position?"
He Ruyi was somewhat worried.
She was very grateful that Xin Yue was able to find a solution for them, but after all, it was her daughter-in-law's family.
If their demands are not met, Xin Yue will probably suffer.
"Alright, I'll handle this."
Chen Yongjun was deep in thought.
The in-laws' request still needs to be fulfilled, but it needs to be done tactfully.
They said it would be a minor official position, but they didn't specify the exact job title.
At that time, find an unimportant, idle position to manage logistics, not to interfere in affairs, but to influence the outcome.
This is harmless and beneficial to everyone.
However, this was the only time. After that, he would not go to the trouble of losing face if his two sons wanted to advance their careers.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa."
Ruan Shiping poured Shen Yongjun a cup of tea and bowed respectfully.
"We're all family, no need to be so polite."
It's not like it violates any principles, it's not that serious.
"Alright, everyone, get some rest. We'll be busy for the next few days."
Liu Sanmei was also tired; she had yawned several times.
Ruan Hengzhi led his wife and son away to his room.
He Ruyi gave the house deed to Ruan Shiping so that he and his daughter-in-law could prepare their new home in advance.
“Shiping, this is the household fund that your mother gave to your family. You can decide how to allocate it.”
He Ruyi took out a savings book with two thousand yuan in it.
This is part of her and Ruan Hengzhi's combined salary, and it is not included in the bride price.
"Mother, I've already bought the wedding house. Let's leave the deed and the money to my little sister."
Ruan Shiping was unaware of the Ruan family's wealth and did not covet his grandparents' inheritance.
He only wanted to give Wang Xinyue a home with his own hands.
He's been looking at houses around the place for the past couple of days, and coincidentally, there's a two-story villa near his sister's place that the owner wants to sell.
The homeowner's son and daughter-in-law are both abroad and they need to sell the property urgently, so they are only asking for 3,000.
He thought that since the two families lived close by, they could look out for each other, so he readily transferred the property and put Wang Xinyue's name on it.
Over the years, he has kept his salary in his own hands. Even after buying a house, the remaining money is enough for him to support his wife and children.
"Good son, you're capable."
A tipsy Ruan Hengzhi patted his son on the shoulder, praising him highly.
As expected of his son, he is truly independent and sensible.
"Alright, here's the deed and the money for you to keep safe. We'll give them to my daughter-in-law later."
He Ruyi's tone was firm and left no room for argument.
She will definitely give away the property deed and the money.
This is her blessing to her eldest son and his wife.
…
Classes officially began at Peking University. Ruan Qiushui, as a teacher at Peking University, worked with He Xianwei to support the entire medical department.
Although at first the students questioned Ruan Qiushui's age and experience.
However, under Ruan Qiushui's professional knowledge and practical skills, he was completely conquered.
In July 1978, the second college entrance examination after its resumption arrived.
Ruan Qiushui took the college entrance examination for the first time as a proctor.
In September of the same year, when the medical school started, the number of students increased to sixty.
He Xianwei and Ruan Qiushui were extremely busy, and the number of medical school tutors increased from two to six.
Ruan Qiushui also changed from teaching both theory and practice to specializing in pharmacology.
During this period, Zhou Yi used his business acumen to completely establish Xueji's niche in Beijing, making it a sensation throughout the city.
From elderly women in their seventies and eighties to young girls as young as seventeen or eighteen, everyone takes pride in having fair skin.
Zhou Yi maintained the previous sales model, using limited quantities and scarcity marketing.
Those young women, both big and small, would wait in front of the shop before dawn every day, just to be the first to buy the Snow White Skin product.
Some even used their personal connections to get their relatives and friends to join the queue and reserve a spot.
Even so, more than half of the people still left disappointed.
