Chapter 47: Go and ask around
"I don't know." Su Xueqing bit her chopsticks and whispered, "Senior, why are you asking me? You spend more time with the teacher, and I just come here more often during the summer vacation."
During the winter vacation, Su Xueqing didn't come over much. At that time, the family was busy. At the end of the year, they were busy with New Year gifts and the like. After the New Year, Amelia Su gave birth to a child, and Su Xueqing still celebrated her birthday with Ning Yanjing. The Su family had no time to think about Su Xueqing's birthday.
There are so many eyes watching the development zone, yet some people dare to tamper with it. They say they didn't pay attention or keep an eye on it... that is also dereliction of duty and malfeasance.
"The two of them are talking so quietly, like mosquitoes." Professor Guo came over with a tray of food.
"Teacher." "Teacher." Su Xueqing and Han Fang said in unison.
"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully." Professor Guo said.
"Teacher, how do you know what we are saying?" Han Fang asked.
"Does this even need to be said?" Professor Guo said, "Look at the people in the cafeteria. How many of them are not talking about this matter? How can we get along if we don't talk about such a big thing and such a big melon?"
Professor Guo knows these people too well, as he also went through the same thing when he was young. When something happens, everyone goes to ask about it. Even if they don’t ask, they still have to listen to what others say. They can’t really be ignorant of everything. Being deaf and blind will cause big problems in their industry, and they will be pushed out as scapegoats if they are not careful.
"Teacher, do we still have to meet the deadline?" Han Fang asked again.
"Hurry!" Professor Guo said, "We can't stop hurrying just because something happened. We have to hurry safely."
Professor Guo looked at Su Xueqing, "You don't have anything to ask?"
"The leaders have made the decision." Su Xueqing said, "I'm just a small shrimp."
It's fine for the little shrimp to watch, Su Xueqing can't do more, she can look at the blueprints, look at the geographical environment, and work with others. But Su Xueqing can't influence people's hearts. The development zone is like a big piece of fat meat. A lot of money has been allocated to build the development zone, and there are always people who have some ideas.
The timid will starve to death, and the bold will die of gluttony. There is a lot of money here, and you can make a lot of money by just scooping up a small amount.
"You are self-aware." Professor Guo said that Su Xueqing had talent and connections, but she did not blindly use those connections. Some people put their own people into the project, not to build a good development zone, but to make their dry wallets fatter. "No, you are too modest, and those people are too arrogant. Those people who do not have the diamond drill but still take on porcelain work are just parasites."
This incident caused the superiors to be furious. All personnel involved in the development zone had to be thoroughly investigated to see who was still pretending to know everything.
Big earthquake!
Su Xueqing was fine, her design drawings passed the test, and there were no problems with the data in all aspects. The subsidy Su Xueqing received was also very low. If a formal employee made such a design drawing, he could get more rewards. Su Xueqing did not, she just got the opportunity to enter the Architectural Design Institute.
"A group of people from the hospital will also have to leave," said Professor Guo.
"Go?" Su Xueqing was puzzled.
"They were transferred to do other things." Professor Guo said, "They can't do these things, so they were transferred to another department to do other things. Several new batches of college students have joined the company, and some of them are like slaves."
Ding Ming married a pregnant woman in order to stay in South City. Ding Ming's country wife was naturally unwilling, so he lied to her that this was a fake marriage so that he could stay in South City. He said that the woman had someone she liked, and that the person she liked had an accident, so she married him.
Ding Ming's wife Sun Cuihua finally believed Ding Ming. What else could she do if she didn't believe him? Ding Ming had concealed it from Sun Cuihua at first. He got married with someone else without letting Sun Cuihua know. It was only when Sun Cuihua came to Nancheng that she found out.
Sun Cuihua made a scene, and Ding Ming's current wife asked Ding Ming to handle it himself. If Ding Ming couldn't handle it well, he would have no chance of staying in Nancheng. Ding Ming had no choice but to tell Sun Cuihua himself that Ding Ming's current wife didn't want to see her, and Sun Cuihua couldn't even tear Ding Ming's current wife's face apart.
"You lied to me." Sun Cuihua looked at Ding Ming with red eyes.
"Her child is not mine, but her sweetheart's." Ding Ming said, "Her sweetheart had an accident and is unknown whether he is alive or dead. She is pregnant with another child, so she asked me to marry her. Our marriage is just a fake one, understand?"
"Fake marriage?" Sun Cuihua didn't quite believe it. "Marriage is real, how can it be fake?"
"She and I have never slept together." Ding Ming said, "I did this to stay in Nancheng. If your family had a way, I wouldn't have to fake marry her. If I fake married her, I would have a job in Nancheng and a Nancheng hukou. After a few years, I would divorce her and bring you back to Nancheng. Cuihua, why don't you understand my good intentions?"
"Really?" Sun Cuihua asked, "So, you are doing this for me and the child?"
"Yes, for you and the child." Ding Ming said, "If you don't want you to know, I can go to another city. If I hide after graduation, will you still be able to find me? I can't bear to leave you and the child. We have been husband and wife for so many years. One night of marriage means a hundred nights of love."
Ding Ming knew how to coax Sun Cuihua very well. All Sun Cuihua wanted was a promise from Ding Ming, and she easily believed Ding Ming.
"So what should we do now?" Sun Cuihua asked.
"You guys go back to the countryside first." Ding Ming said, "I will send money to you and the children every month. Just think of it as me making money in the city, okay?"
"Yes." Sun Cuihua nodded, "But...if other people in the village knew about this, wouldn't I be laughed at?"
"Laugh at poverty, not prostitution." Ding Ming had another reason, "Look at how well they can live. Do they have anyone sending them money? The most important thing is to live a good life, don't think about anything else."
"this……"
"In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines." Ding Ming said, "My marriage is just a fake one, not a real one."
"Remember, it's a fake marriage." Sun Cuihua said.
"Yes, it's a fake marriage." Ding Ming said, "We are a real couple. Remember, we have children. We are all doing this for our children."
"Yeah." Sun Cuihua's voice was a little dull. It was all because her family was useless. If her family was useful, Ding Ming wouldn't have to find someone else for a fake marriage and wouldn't have to be so humble.
"Don't offend my current wife." Ding Ming said, "We are in a cooperative relationship. After we get the marriage certificate, she can still divorce me directly. She has nothing to lose, but I will suffer a great loss."
"Don't offend me, don't offend me." Sun Cuihua said, "I'm not afraid...I'm afraid that you will fall in love with her."
"No. She has a lover, and I have a real wife." Ding Ming said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Believe me, remember my words, go back to the countryside, and don't tell anyone. Just keep it to yourself."
"What if other people knew about this?" Sun Cuihua asked.
"Just say we should part ways amicably, and don't mention my fake marriage to someone. This matter cannot be made public." Ding Ming said, "She is from South City, and her family has connections. If we embarrass her, they won't let me stay in South City, and I won't be able to make more money, so how can I send money to you?"
"I...I don't care about the money that much..." Sun Cuihua said, "I want us to be together more."
"Be patient." Ding Ming said, "We have to endure it for a few years, even if it's more than ten years. We can still be together. When I have more money, I will rent a house for you in South City and try to let you stay in South City. There will be plenty of time in the future. Look at other people who were directly abandoned. They can't even find the people they want to find. We are still together. We are working hard for the future of our children."
Sun Cuihua was so fooled by Ding Ming that she was at a loss. She listened to Ding Ming's words. Ding Ming did it for her and the child. He was helpless and forced.
Ding Ming married a pregnant woman, but no one else knew about it. The woman did not let anyone know, and Ding Ming was even less likely to let anyone know. Ding Ming successfully stayed in South City. His classmates knew about his actions and thought he was really disgusting.
Yu Li was also very surprised to learn that Ding Ming had successfully stayed in Nancheng.
Matchmaker Mei told Yu Li, "Look, a man like him, who has a wife and children in the countryside, can't he also find a girl in the city?"
"Is there something wrong with that woman?" Yu Li couldn't help but ask.
"What's the problem? She has all the limbs intact and can have children." Mei Matchmaker said, "Even if she has a minor problem, it's not bad enough. She's from the city, and her family has connections, so they can easily get her to stay in South City."
"That's right." Yu Li said.
"Don't you think about it? Doesn't Ding Ming have any problems himself?" Matchmaker Mei said, "If he were in a higher position, no one would be willing to introduce him to a date. His wife even went to school to make trouble, and many people knew about it. The matchmaker said he didn't know, and introducing him would only damage his reputation."
Matchmaker Mei was quite patient with Li. After all, she was a college student at Nancheng University, and female college students were valuable nowadays.
"I have a family here." Mei Matchmaker said, "The family is ordinary, but they have a house. If you marry him, your life won't be too difficult. He has a job and also runs a stall with his family, so he can earn two incomes."
"Can I stay in Nancheng?" Yu Li asked.
"Don't think about work all the time." Mei Matchmaker said, "Woman, the most important thing is to marry the right person. When you go back to your hometown and work somewhere else, you may not be able to find such a suitable partner. His family is ordinary now, but it will not be in the future."
"Not in the future?" Yu Li frowned.
"They have a stall and business is good," said Mei, the matchmaker. "His elder brother and his wife came back from the countryside and also set up a stall to do business. They can make money. If they couldn't make money, they would have quarreled a long time ago. These days, factory workers have a fixed salary, and those who start their own business can earn more. You can go there and work or not. They are just starting out now. If you work for a few more years, you want to have a blind date with their children, but they may not agree. I'll take you to their house to have a look."
Mei the matchmaker really took Yu Li to Xu's house. Xu's mother wanted to find a college student for Xu's second brother, so she asked Mei the matchmaker to find one. Xu Ruyun didn't support it at first, but she supported it later. Xu Ruyun didn't want Xu's second brother to marry his second sister-in-law in his previous life. She wanted Xu's second brother to marry someone else. If Xu's second brother could marry a college student, it would be Xu Ruyun's compensation to Xu's second brother.
When matchmaker Mei took Yu Li to Xu's house, Su Xueqing was on her way back to Su's house.
Yu Li didn't know that the Su family lived here, but Mei the matchmaker knew. Mei the matchmaker thought that this was not a big deal, because Su Xueqing's parents lived here, but Su Xueqing herself did not. It had been so long, and the little thing between Yu Li and Su Xueqing should have been over. What kind of big conflict could there be between students?
Su Xueqing saw Yu Li, but she didn't look at her any more, and went straight to Su's house. Yu Li followed behind Mei the matchmaker, and she was a little panicked, and was actually seen by Su Xueqing.
For a moment, Yu Li wanted to run away, but in the end she didn't.
"We're not from the same family as her, but next door to her." Mei Matchmaker said, "I'll take you to have a look. Their house has three rooms. If you marry there, you and your partner can have a room by yourselves. Having a room of your own in the city is more important than anything else."
Matchmaker Mei brought Yu Li into Xu's house, where she met Xu's second brother and Xu's mother.
Xu's mother didn't have too many requirements for the woman's appearance. It didn't matter if she was ordinary-looking. What mattered was that she was a college student and would have an easier time finding a job. It didn't matter if she didn't have a job, because her son could afford to support her.
"What a coincidence, she is a classmate of Su Xueqing who lives next door." Matchmaker Mei introduced with a smile.
"Well, Su Xueqing and I are classmates." Yu Li said.
Xu's mother asked Yu Li several questions, and Xu Erge looked at Yu Li a little embarrassed. Xu Erge was quite satisfied with Li. As a man like him, how could he be qualified to find a female college student as his wife.
Yu Li and Mei the matchmaker could not say that there had been conflicts between Yu Li and Su Xueqing. Mei the matchmaker said at most that Yu Li was from a rural town and that she was going to be a junior in college. Yu Li was anxious because she was afraid that she would not have a suitable partner by the time she was a senior. But even if she was anxious, Yu Li still had time to let the Xu family make a decision early.
At the Su family, Su Xueqing learned from Su's mother that Second Brother Xu was going on a blind date.
"Bring the person back right away." said Su's mother.
"That person... my classmate?" Su Xueqing was a little surprised. She had heard Ning Jiaxuan say that some students from the school were out for blind dates, but she didn't expect that Yu Li went to the Xu family next door for a blind date.
"Is she your classmate?" Su's mother asked.
"I just saw her coming." Su Xueqing said.
"Did you say hello?" Su's mother asked.
"I don't like her." Su Xueqing said, "We are not the same kind of people. We think differently. She changed her major. She is no longer a student in our major. She transferred to the philosophy department."
"Not the same major as yours?" Su's mother wondered.
"Not only did she change her major, but others also changed their majors." Su Xueqing did not mention that Yu Li failed the course due to poor grades.
Fortunately, the school allows students to major in their studies, so that they don't have to drop out and repeat the college entrance examination. The school is humane, which can help students avoid many detours.
"She and I are no longer students in the same major." Su Xueqing said, "She went to classes less often in the second half of her sophomore year, so we basically didn't meet."
Xu's mother asked Yu Li, and was surprised again, "Didn't you say you would be a junior next semester?"
"Originally, I changed my major and had to start my sophomore year again. I took both freshman and sophomore courses for the new major." Yu Li said, "I like this major, so I changed it. I was supposed to change it during my freshman year, but too many people changed their majors at that time, so the counselor asked us to think it over carefully, saying that our major had good employment prospects. So I waited until my sophomore year to change my major. It is easier for college students like us at Nancheng University to be assigned to a suitable unit."
Yu Li originally wanted to change her major to the Chinese Department, but after thinking about it, she decided that the Philosophy Department was better. The narcissistic Ding Ming was originally from the Chinese Department. Yu Li wondered if she changed to the Chinese Department, would others say that she and Ding Ming were similar? After all, they had both offended Su Xueqing.
In order to better distance herself from Su Xueqing and prevent others from thinking of Su Xueqing when they think of her, Yu Li feels that the philosophy department is much better than the Chinese department. The exams in the philosophy department are also easy and not very difficult, much simpler than the professional courses in the architecture department.
"Are we going to take the junior and senior year courses together?" asked Xu's mother.
"No, I will go to class as normal in my junior and senior years." Yu Li said, "It means I will go to class with my juniors and graduate with them. My diploma is still from Nancheng University and will not be affected. I will just graduate a year later."
This means that Yu Li doesn't need to rush to find a partner, she still has more time. Yu Li said this deliberately, she wanted to let the Xu family know that she has time, and these people should not try to control her easily.
The Xu family was of ordinary means, and they did not plan to select more. It was not the Xu family's turn to select college students with good character and appearance. Yu Li was the one left over from the previous selection. She was quite selfish. Some people who had been with her for a while felt that she was not suitable, so they gave up. Good universities are not necessarily useful. People with good family conditions can still have other choices.
Xu's mother is not worried about Yu Li's selfishness. It's better to be a little selfish, so that she can live a good life and not be fooled by others. Xu's mother and Xu's second brother are very satisfied with Yu Li. Yu Li dislikes the Xu family a little, but other families look down on Yu Li. Yu Li knows that the Xu family is a good family.
There were fruits and candies on the table, and the Xu family also gave Yu Li some simple headdresses. Those headdresses were not particularly valuable, but this also showed that the Xu family was not stingy. If those headdresses were sold outside, they would cost several cents each.
Matchmaker Mei asked Brother Xu and Yu Li to go out for a walk, and the two of them could have dinner outside or watch a movie.
At the Su family, Su Xueqing did not pay attention to what was happening next door.
"How are you... at the Architectural Design Institute?" Su's mother asked worriedly, "I heard there was a problem at the construction site and someone died?"
"Someone died, and someone is under investigation." Su Xueqing said, "We are still investigating."
"Will you be affected?" Su's mother asked.
"I'm just a student. My design was not adopted by one person." Su Xueqing said, "They used it because they thought it was suitable. I didn't get any reward money. I just got a subsidy when I entered. Other students who went to help also got subsidies. I just did normal things and didn't take advantage of anyone. People in the unit also said that I was good at doing things and did things quickly, and that I helped them. Sometimes, after I finished my work, I also helped others with things."
Su Xueqing did not only do what Professor Guo arranged. When other leaders like Professor Guo were too busy and needed help, Su Xueqing also helped. Those people liked Su Xueqing very much. At first, some of them thought that Su Xueqing got in through connections, but later they found that she was really capable. Students of Nancheng University are indeed students of Nancheng University. She got into a good university and found a good partner. Why can't she do that?
Because of Su Xueqing's strong ability, many people in the unit praised Su Xueqing. Some people wanted to embarrass Su Xueqing, but they couldn't.
"Someone asked if there was anyone in our family who worked in this field, and asked how I could be so capable." Su Xueqing said, "I said no one in our family worked in this field, and they said my father was a technician with a high level, and that my brother was also a technician."
"What did they say?" Su's mother asked.
"I didn't say anything bad, I just praised me and my parents for being able to educate their children." Su Xueqing said, "Really, I just went there to work by myself, and I'm a professional in this field. Some people can arrange for their entire family to work there, with the women at home cooking and the men at home working on the construction site..."
"Cooking and working on construction sites are both hard work," said Su's mother.
"You all think this is normal." Su Xueqing said, "It's because many jobs have been arranged this way over the years. Pulling out the radish brings out the mud, and this is how it is for work, one person brings one relative. Some simple jobs are okay, but if it's a complicated job, there are many things involved. Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
"If you have something to say, you must tell me. At worst, you can just not work there." Su's mother said.
"Mom, I'm just a small fry. It's not my turn to be responsible." Su Xueqing said, "Does it mean that just because my partner's relatives work in the company, I'm an incompetent idiot? No, they are capable people, so of course they look for good partners, people like me who are capable."
"You're so good at bragging." Su's mother chuckled. As long as her daughter was not implicated, there would be no problem.
"This is not bragging, it's self-confidence." Su Xueqing said, "The teacher also said that I was too modest."
"Okay, okay, okay, you are humble." Su's mother said.
"Mom, don't worry." Su Xueqing said, "It's not just me who works there in our school. There are other people working there. There is a shortage of people there, and many seniors with good grades have been recruited to work there. Of course, they are volunteers, and like me, they all want to stay in the Architectural Design Institute. Now is a good opportunity for our major. It is easier to enter the Architectural Design Institute now than before."
With more students going, Su Xueqing became less noticeable, not to mention that she was the top student in her major.
Yu Li also knew that this was a great opportunity for the Department of Architecture, but she failed the course and her grades were not good enough. If her grades were good enough, she would have stayed in the Department of Architecture and then tried to enter the Architectural Design Institute. With poor grades and no way to pass the exam, Yu Li could only change her major in dejection. Graduation was her top priority, and she couldn't stick to the Department of Architecture.
"If they want a scapegoat, they won't choose someone like me." Su Xueqing said, "Our school won't let those people bully us students like this."
"That's good." Su's mother sighed, "There was an accident at the development zone construction site. The whole family is worried about you, afraid that you might..."
Before Su's mother finished her words, her little grandson started crying. Su's mother hurried to take care of her grandson who had just woken up. She had to change his diaper and make milk powder for him. Su's third wife took over Su's mother's job. She had to go to work and couldn't take care of the child. So Su's mother and old lady Su took care of the child.
"I've already said that I'm just a small shrimp at the bottom." Su Xueqing said, "If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
When Su Xueqing returned home, she was also worried that her mother and others would be worried about her.
Yesterday, Su's mother went to look for Su Xueqing, but Su Xueqing was not at home. Su's mother went there several times and asked Mrs. Su to take care of the children at home, but Su Xueqing was not at home, and Aunt Li was at home. When Su Xueqing returned home, it was quite late, so Su Xueqing did not come back.
Su Xueqing didn't tell her parents about the development zone at first. She thought it had nothing to do with her and she wasn't affected, so it didn't matter if she didn't tell them. When she found out that her mother had gone there several times yesterday, Su Xueqing understood that even if she thought it was okay, her parents might not think it was okay. When Su Xueqing returned to the Su family, her mother didn't tell them that she had gone there so many times yesterday.
"If you have anything to say to your family, you can just not do it there, okay?" Su's mother said, "Be careful when you do things."
"It's okay. I didn't go to the construction site. When I went to the construction site, I wore a helmet and walked around below." Su Xueqing said, "I don't have to climb up. There will be supervisors. There is no problem. Should I climb up to see the scenery? Others will say I'm in the way."
"The family that fell and died must be so sad." Su's mother said, "The pillar of the family is gone just like that."
"Yes." Su Xueqing said, "How can I not be sad? I heard that there is a child at home. The child is still young, only a few years old."
"For such a young child, no one knows who will get the compensation in the end." Su's mother said, "There was a family here whose son died. The grandparents took the compensation and didn't give it to their grandson or granddaughter-in-law. They even drove the granddaughter-in-law out and made her raise the child by herself."
"Is there such a thing?" Su Xueqing asked.
"You were still young at that time." said Su's mother.
"Didn't my granddaughter-in-law go to sue those people?" Su Xueqing asked.
"What are you suing for?" Su's mother said, "To put it mildly, this is a family matter. Grandpa and grandma don't have any children either, and those people are saying that the child born by the granddaughter-in-law is not theirs, but the child born by the granddaughter-in-law out of wedlock."
"It's so scary." Su Xueqing said.
"When the son is around, the grandchildren are their own. When the son is gone, the grandchildren are not their own." Su's mother said, "They have other sons, and they use the money to subsidize the other sons."
"Won't the street office take any action?" Su Xueqing asked.
"How to manage it?" Su's mother asked, "The man is dead, how to prove whether the child is his biological child? Others said the child looked like his biological father, but their family said he was not. At the time, there was a big fuss. Later, it was the people from the street office who found a house and a job for the grandson's wife. Even so, the grandparents still made a fuss, saying that the job should not belong to the grandson's wife. Their son's comrades-in-arms came and suppressed them, and the matter was finally resolved."
"How young was I then?" Su Xueqing asked, "I don't even remember."
"You don't even remember your own family's affairs, let alone other people's affairs. Were you four or five years old at the time?" Su's mother asked, "Or three or four? Anyway, you were very young. I was carrying you as I passed by, and when I saw that family chased the people out, I hurried back with you."
"That's really small." Su Xueqing said.
Su Xueqing didn't know to whom the relevant units gave the pension, and she felt that they should pay more attention to it. Some people would do anything for money.
Ning Yanjing came to pick up Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing walked with Ning Yanjing. As the two walked on the road, Su Xueqing told Su's mother what she said, and also what happened at the construction site.
"You have no contact with that person, so you don't have to worry about it. Those people will handle it." Ning Yanjing said.
"The person is gone." Su Xueqing said, "The person is gone, and the problem has been discovered... There are still two people injured and lying in the hospital. It's lucky that they are still alive."
"It will be fine." Ning Yanjing said, "During the process of development and construction, some problems are inevitable."
"This incident was a man-made disaster." Su Xueqing was indignant. "It could have been avoided, but those people didn't issue a notice, and some procedures were not carried out according to regulations. There are strict procedures and regulations on the construction site, and we must pay attention to safety. I don't know how many times we have emphasized safety, but something like this still happened. This incident could have been avoided, it could have been..."
"Are you scared?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"The person didn't fall directly in front of me. I heard what others said and it was scary." Su Xueqing said, "No matter how many people died, such a thing should not happen. Do you know? Some people over there said that it was okay, only one person died, only one person died..."
No matter how many people died, different numbers will have different characterizations.
"Some people still want to just brush it off like this." Su Xueqing said, "We need to suppress the matter. The province has approved a thorough investigation, so that more people can be arrested."
"Let them arrest them." Ning Yanjing didn't work in the government, but he worked in the business world. He knew there were many things involved. After a thorough investigation and arrest of a group of people, similar things might happen again. "Don't think about it, don't worry. My cousin's father-in-law is very busy recently. He is serious and rigorous in his work, and he doesn't allow people to use the back door. He has to be busy."
Ning Yanjing comforted Su Xueqing. He thought Su Xueqing had never encountered such a thing before, and if he said a few more words, Su Xueqing would feel at ease.
"Vice President Xu is indeed very busy." Su Xueqing said, "The teacher is also very busy. When something happens at the construction site, all parties must investigate, and each unit must also conduct self-inspections. We cannot let such a thing happen again. The higher authorities have allocated funds, and we can say that the whole province is fully committed to developing this development zone, but the funds are also limited. Some people are still trying to make a profit from it and put all the money in their own pockets. This is too much."
In her previous life, Su Xueqing knew that her colleague had an accident, and the intern who had just been promoted to a regular employee was imprisoned for several years. A bridge had been built several years before the regular intern came in, and the intern had only been there for more than a year when he was arrested.
Something can happen in a year or so, but the main blame should not be on this person, there are other people behind it. But the big fish are not exposed, they have already established connections and slipped away.
Even though the crime is not punishable by death, there are still people willing to take the blame for a few years in prison. If they don't take the blame, the final result will not be good.
"Sometimes our business is very shady." Su Xueqing said, "I thought..."
Su Xueqing originally thought that people in this era would be better, because some legal provisions were more stringent, so everyone should be more careful. Su Xueqing also thought that some legal provisions in this era were relatively loose, making it easy for people to find loopholes.
Someone once described this era as an era of barbaric growth, very chaotic and disorderly, and the country had to improve its laws bit by bit.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ning Yanjing hugged Su Xueqing, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"
"It's okay." Su Xueqing said, "I don't feel guilty."
"You might be scared or have a nightmare." Ning Yanjing said.
"Do you want me to have a nightmare so much?" Su Xueqing raised her head slightly and looked at Ning Yanjing.
"No." Ning Yanjing said, "They are afraid that you have a strong sense of morality. They all work in the development zone and are afraid that you..."
"No, I'm not afraid." Su Xueqing said, "The ones we should be afraid of are those black-hearted people."
Xu Erge went out for a walk with Yu Li. Xu Erge talked about how much money he could make by setting up a stall, and said that Xu Dage had something to do and would not affect the family's life. Xu Ruyun had already moved out of the Xu family and rented a house outside.
"My sister said that when we earn more money, we can buy a house so that we don't have to live together as a family," said the second brother Xu.
"Is setting up a stall so profitable?" Yu Li was surprised. "You are not lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you." Brother Xu said, "If you don't believe me, you can go with us to set up a stall and take a look. But other people's stalls don't do as much business as ours. My sister can make all kinds of jewelry, and she asked us to do it, so we don't have to teach others. Others can copy, and it takes time, so we can make money first."
Xu Ruyun had long thought that the headwear she made would be easily imitated. Those styles seemed simple, and they were actually simple, not complicated. Complex ones would take more time to make, and some people who bought headwear wanted them to be cheap and good-looking. If the price was too high, people would not buy them. They were setting up stalls, not opening a store to sell high-end items. High-end items were limited in quantity, and there couldn't be too many of the same style. The materials had to be better and there had to be a brand.
Xu Ruyun had an idea in mind. She found a factory to produce the headwear she needed. Xu Ruyun provided simple and easy-to-copy designs. She signed an agreement with the factory, and she could get the design fee and buy the headwear at cost price. The factory could sell the headwear to other places.
Xu Ruyun is serious about her business and has no intention of having a child with a man. Xu's family asked Xu Ruyun to find a partner as soon as possible, but Xu Ruyun said she was not in a hurry and that she must find a partner who can help her business. She no longer believes in the so-called love that men talk about.
The love a man talks about is unreliable. Maybe there are reliable men, but Xu Ruyun thinks she is not so lucky to meet a man who loves her deeply.
Xu Erge said a lot in front of Yu Li. Yu Li was a college student at Nancheng University. Xu Erge didn't have such a high degree, so he was a little inferior. Xu Erge said so much, he hoped Yu Li could recognize him. Yu Li could feel Xu Erge's urgency, she was worried that Xu's family would go to the Su family to inquire about her.
"Can we be a couple?" asked Brother Xu.
"Don't say that first. Su Xueqing and I were classmates. After changing our majors, we are no longer in the same major." Yu Li said, "But you can still go to her house and ask around."
Yu Li didn't want the Xu family to tell her that it was inappropriate. She hated this feeling. Yu Li hadn't been around Su Xueqing for a long time, nor did she say anything bad about Su Xueqing, for fear that others would think that there was a conflict between her and Su Xueqing. Female college students from other schools had already found a partner, but she, a college student from Nancheng University, hadn't found a partner yet. Was this reasonable?
"this……"
"Ask around first, and then we can talk about it if you think it's suitable," said Yu Li.
After hearing what Yu Li said, Brother Xu could only do as she said. The two of them had dinner together outside and watched a movie.
When Brother Xu returned to the Xu family, he told his mother what Yu Li had said.
"I'll go ask her." Xu's mother said, "Is she embarrassed? Or is she afraid that her classmates don't want her to marry here and become neighbors with her classmates' families?"
"I don't know." Brother Xu said, "Mom, please ask."
"Okay, I'll ask." Xu's mother knew that her son was attracted to Li.
Xu's mother actually went to ask Su's mother, "My son is dating a female student from South City University. That female student is a classmate of your daughter. Do you know her?"
"She is a classmate, but we have never met her before." Su's mother said, "Xueqing rarely brings classmates home. They should be ordinary classmates. They will not be in the same major in the future. Students of Nancheng University are all capable. This class of students have all taken the college entrance examination and entered a good university through their own efforts."
Su's mother did not say anything bad about Yu Li, and her daughter did not say anything either. Su's mother felt that Yu Li and Su Xueqing were just ordinary classmates. Su's mother knew that Su Xueqing seemed unhappy with her roommate when she moved out of the dormitory, but she did not know that it was this Yu Li. Su Xueqing did not tell her mother about those things in detail, so Su's mother did not know.
It has been so long since the incident happened, and Su's mother did not think about whether Yu Li had upset Su Xueqing. If Su's mother really knew, she would not say anything bad about Yu Li. It was the Xu family who was marrying a daughter-in-law, not the Su family. The opinions of the Su family were not important at all. If the Su family said something bad about Yu Li, the Xu family would think that the Su family did it on purpose. The Su family could not bear to see the second brother Xu marry a female college student.
"Are you attracted to her?" Su's mother asked.
"That woman asked us to ask around and find out more." Xu's mother said, "You are the family of her classmate..."
"It's a girl's modesty." Su's mother said, "That's why I asked you to inquire about her. It may also be a test for you. To see if you think she is not good enough and your attitude towards her will change. She just changed her major to a different major than my daughter's. I don't know why she changed her major. Maybe she is a little unconfident? That's not right. She asked you to inquire about her, which shows that she is very confident. She thinks she is a good girl."
As for whether the girl was good or not, Su's mother had no idea. She only knew that she was admitted to university based on her real talent and knowledge.
"That's right. As a girl, you should be more reserved." Mother Xu nodded. "Has your Xueqing gone home? She's not here?"
