Chapter 240 I can’t stay in this house for even a minute!
The Cui family lived at the very end of an alley, which was not a large compound but a small independent house.
The yard is not big, and the whole area including the house is only about 100 square meters, but at least it is a private house with its own yard, and every inch of land will be valuable in the future.
Jiang Quan knocked on the door.
There were a few old ladies chatting in the yard. When they heard his voice, they turned their heads to look. They found that he was carrying a lot of bags and looked very high-class. Their eyes immediately lit up.
Old Mrs. Cui walked over quickly and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this the Cui family? Does Bian Xiumei live here?" Jiang Quan asked.
Mrs. Cui paused and her voice suddenly turned sarcastic: "Looking for her, who are you to her?"
Her smile disappeared completely, and her triangular eyes scanned Jiang Quan up and down like a searchlight.
"I'm a colleague of Bian Xiumei's niece Cheng Hui. I came to Beijing on a business trip and helped her give a gift to her aunt." Jiang Quan said.
It turned out to be a gift, not just a passing moment?
Old Mrs. Cui glanced at the thing in Jiang Quan's hand with her triangular eyes, and immediately smiled again: "Come on, come on, come in! Hey you, come out quickly, your niece is here to deliver something!"
she called toward the kitchen.
Bian Xiumei wiped her hands and ran out quickly: "Who? My niece? Where is she?"
She looked around quickly but didn't see Cheng Hui.
Jiang Quan looked at her and confirmed that this was Cheng Hui's aunt.
Her features are somewhat similar to Cheng Hui's, both have willow-shaped eyebrows, oval face, and cherry lips, but one is at the peak of her exquisite and perfect appearance, while this one has sallow and wrinkled skin, which will be unsightly in a few years.
Bian Xiumei also saw Jiang Quan.
The things in Jiang Quan's hand were taken away one by one by the old lady, who took them quickly to her own room.
In the main room, Cui Gang and his son and two daughters also came out, all staring at Jiang Quan.
Bian Xiumei warmly invited Jiang Quan into the room: "Comrade, you said you were Cheng Hui's colleague? How is she doing in Northeast China? I heard she's married? And has a child? What's going on?"
After Cheng Jianming came back from the Northeast, he no longer hid the fact that Cheng Hui was married and pregnant.
The rumors about Pan Li and Cheng Wei were even more confusing and vague, which made outsiders imagine a lot.
When Bian Xiumei heard about it, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep for several days!
I wanted to go and ask Cheng Jianming in person, but when I thought of his character, it would be useless to go.
Now someone asks!
Jiang Quan walked into the room and sat down, saying simply, "Cheng Hui is working in a food factory now. Her husband is a soldier, and she is about to give birth in a month."
It's simple enough.
Bian Xiumei asked: "Why did she marry this man? Was there someone to introduce her to him? Or did she choose him on her own? What's his name and surname? How old is he? What does his family do? What are his parents-in-law like?"
Jiang Quan looked at her, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
No wonder the factory director traveled thousands of miles to give her such a valuable gift. This person deserves it.
"I heard that Cheng Hui accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by this man, so she married him. Her in-laws are all very nice, and they are all from the countryside." Jiang Quan said.
The obedient ones are all good, and the disobedient ones have been disciplined so that they dare not show up!
He was able to jump into the water to save people, which showed that he had good character. Bian Xiumei breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was half relieved before it was lifted up again. Was he being forced to repay a favor? Were you forced to marry?
She couldn't feel at ease until she saw it with her own eyes.
"You are really worrying too much." Cui Gang suddenly said, "She is already married and has a child. It is unnecessary for you to ask these questions!"
He looked at Jiang Quan and asked, "How did she, an educated youth, find a job?"
"Our factory is recruiting and she happened to meet him." Jiang Quan said.
"You're lucky." Cui Gang asked again, "How much is your monthly salary?"
"27.5 dollars." Jiang Quan said.
Cui Gang nodded: "It's good to have a job. Just hang in there, and you'll grow up slowly."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm going to Lao Wang's house and will be back after lunch."
The things were obtained, but Cheng Hui had no great future. She earned the lowest salary and married a rural soldier. This was how her life would be. Her face was wasted. Old Mrs. Cui was no longer interested in staying and went out to chat with her old sisters.
Cui Gang's two children born to his ex-wife also left the living room and went to their grandmother's room.
Only Bian Xiumei and her biological daughter, Cui Pan, were left in the room.
Bian Xiumei is also a stepmother, married to a divorced man with children.
Because she is a love-brained person.
Cui Gang was handsome when he was young, and he was also a gangster. One time, he stepped in to help Bian Xiumei who was being teased, and Bian Xiumei fell headfirst into the fight.
At that time, she was still the second daughter of the Bian family. The Bian family was a red capitalist family with wealth and status, and they did not agree to this marriage.
As a result, Bian Xiumei threatened to commit suicide and insisted on getting married.
Then get married.
Later, when the Bian family was going abroad as a group, they secretly asked their children, and only Bian Xiumei refused to leave and wanted to stay.
Then stay.
The result is what it is now. She doesn't dare to speak loudly in Cui's house and serves the whole family like a nanny.
Even her own daughter seemed like the servant's child, a little nanny.
Bian Xiumei continued to ask about Cheng Hui. Cui Pan took a look and felt that there was nothing for her to do anymore, so she left as well.
Jiang Quan spoke up: "Wait a moment."
Bian Xiumei and Cui Pan were both watching.
Jiang Quan said, "Cheng Hui told me that you will graduate from high school after the New Year and will go to the countryside. Have you decided where to go?"
Bian Xiumei smiled. Cheng Hui still cared about her cousin and really treated them as family members.
Cui Pan was also surprised. She and Cheng Hui went to the same high school. Cheng Hui went to the countryside before graduating from high school, but she stayed until the last.
But the two were not in the same class, and both had quiet personalities. They did not interact much in daily life, so they were not actually familiar with each other and had barely spoken to each other.
"I haven't decided where to go yet, but it's just the countryside outside of Beijing, so just choose one." Cui Pan said indifferently.
The principles for allocating educated youth now are no longer the same as before, when they were distributed far and wide, from all corners of the country.
Nowadays, educated youth are usually assigned to areas around the city where they can easily go home on weekends.
Jiang Quan glanced at the wing room and said, "Our food factory still has a vacancy for recruitment. Cheng Hui wants to know if you want one. If you want one, you can come with me this time."
"What?" The mother and daughter exclaimed at the same time, and their eyes looked at him differently.
Is this a liar? Human traffickers, huh? They were all kidnapped and sold at home?
Bian Xiumei immediately pulled her daughter behind her and looked at him warily: "We are not going!"
Cui Pan was stunned, and his eyes became hot when he looked at the back of the head mixed with white hair.
Her mother still protects her...
Jiang Quan smiled and said, "I am indeed Cheng Hui's colleague. Cheng Jianming can testify that he has been to the Northeast and met me. If you don't believe me, you can ask him, or you can call Cheng Hui and ask."
He left a note with the food factory's phone number on it.
"I'm leaving first. I'll stay in the capital for a few more days. You guys think about it. I'll come again before I leave." He said and went out.
After everyone left, Old Lady Cui came in and gave Bian Xiumei a cold look: "They came all the way here to help deliver the things, why don't you invite them to have a meal? You have no manners at all!"
Bian Xiumei said nothing.
Cui Pan felt a lump in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "The person hasn't gone far yet. Should I chase him back now?"
Mrs. Cui immediately glared at her and yelled at her like she was scolding a servant: "The dishes in the kitchen haven't been washed yet! What are you still standing here for? Go wash the dishes! Do you still want an old woman like me to serve you young and strong people? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"
Bian Xiumei immediately took the gloomy Cui Pan away.
After entering the kitchen, Cui Pan immediately said, "I can't stay in this house for even a minute! I want to go to the Northeast to find Cheng Hui!"
