Chapter 70: Close the door
"Yes, new one." said Brother Su San.
"Aren't you waiting for your sister to give you the old TV?" the neighbor asked.
"No, we buy it ourselves." said Brother Su San.
Brother Su San moved the TV into the house. He heard what those people said outside and knew it after a little thought. Su Yamei had chatted with many people when she opened the breakfast shop. Maybe it was her who said that.
No one else in the Su family thought about Amelia Su’s TV, that is, Amelia Su said it over there. Mother Su knew what kind of temper Amelia Su had, so she thought about buying a TV earlier.
"Put it here." Su's mother said. She had already prepared a table to put the TV on.
Brother Su San reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This TV was a bit heavy.
"Did you really buy a TV?" Su Yamei had just seen Brother Su San riding a tricycle to pull something, and heard others say that Brother Su San had bought a TV, so she put down her work and came to her senses. At this time, there were few customers in the store, and Wei Dashan could handle it alone.
"Bought it." said Su's mother.
“My little sister is about to move to a new house.” Amelia Su was still thinking about the TV in Amelia Su’s house, “She…”
“Your little sister hasn’t graduated from college yet.” Mother Su reminded Amelia Su, “The house she lives in now is close to Nancheng University.”
"I didn't say her current house is not close to the school, I just said..."
"If you can't speak, don't speak." Su's mother said, "Someone just asked your brother if he was waiting for his sister to send him a TV. You really need to be careful with your mouth and don't talk nonsense outside. I'm not asking you to help your sister, so please stop causing trouble for her, okay?"
"I didn't cause her any trouble. I was telling the truth." Amelia Su said, "Even if she doesn't move now, she will have to move when she graduates from college."
"Why do you care when she moves?" Su's mother said, "If you have that much time, you should think about how to save money. Don't spend it lavishly. Saving money to buy a house is more important than anything else. Doesn't renting a house cost money? As for the house you rent now, Shanshan doesn't live with you. When your son grows up, won't he need a room?"
"We're saving money. It's not like we can't save that much money all at once." Amelia Su said, "We're also thinking about buying a store."
"It's good to have an idea, then save money." Su's mother said, "You don't have to worry about these things at home, and you don't have to think about saving face."
Brother Su turned on the TV and changed the channel. This new TV was really good. Brother Su saw a figure appear on the TV. There was a person.
"Mom, what do you want to see?" Brother Su San asked Mother Su.
"You can look at anything." said Su's mother.
Amelia Su looked at the brand new TV. She was thinking that Su Yanan had a TV, her parents had a TV, and her younger sister had a TV, but she didn't have a TV, and she didn't have a house yet. She had to save money and buy a house as soon as possible. She couldn't let these people look down on her. Without a house, she would be like a stray kitten, and she might be kicked out by the landlord at any time.
When Su Xueqing came to the Su family again, she saw the new TV. Ning Yanjing did not come with Su Xueqing, he was at work.
When Amelia Su came over, Amelia Su was also at Su’s house. Amelia Su brought her baby son, and they sat there watching TV.
"That's great." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma can watch TV at home."
"Your grandma is going out for a walk." Su's mother said, "She will be back soon."
When there was no TV at home, you had to go to someone else's house to watch TV and occupy a good seat. But when you have a TV at home, it's not that big of a deal and you don't have to go out all the time.
"When I came here, I didn't see grandma on the road." Su Xueqing said.
"Maybe he's chatting with someone." Su's mother said, "Somewhere else."
“Little sister, when are you going to move into the wedding room?” Amelia Su asked, “Are all the furniture ready?”
"We'll move in when we have the wedding banquet." Su Xueqing said, "We've bought some new furniture, but it's not all ready yet."
“We haven’t been to your wedding room yet. When will you take us there to have a look?” Amelia Su said, “Maybe we can give you some advice.”
“…” Amelia Su didn’t dare to accept Amelia Su’s opinion, “Wait for a while, it’s not all done yet.”
Su Xueqing still said the same thing. It would be useless to go there now.
"If everything is not done yet, you have to take a closer look." Amelia Su said, "You have to keep an eye on it and don't let those people make any mistakes."
"You don't need me to watch you." Su Xueqing replied, "Yan Jing will have someone watch you."
"If you move, where you live now...
“If you want to watch TV, just watch TV carefully.” Mother Su signaled Amelia Su to stop talking.
“Is the place you live in now rented out?” Amelia Su still asked.
"It's not rented out yet." Su Xueqing said, "It's very close to school, and I haven't graduated yet."
“Wait until you graduate?” Amelia Su asked.
"That was when we graduated. I'm not sure now." Su Xueqing said.
“Your own house, you are still not sure?” Amelia Su said, “How much is that house? Do you plan to sell it?”
“Sister, are you going to buy a house?” Amelia Su heard the meaning of Amelia Su’s words, “Then we have to sell it at the market price. What’s more, we don’t plan to sell this house.”
If Amelia Su wanted to buy that house, Amelia Su would never agree. There are very few good houses so close to the school, and Amelia Su had to keep that house. Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing did not specifically discuss how to deal with that house, but they did not think about selling the house, after all, they lived there for a long time.
"I want to buy a house, but not now." Amelia Su said, "It would be great if we could agree on a price without paying first and transfer the ownership first."
"Who would be so stupid?" Su Xueqing said, "Unless you can raise enough money within one or two years, if you can't raise enough money, it's just like someone else lending you so much money and not charging you interest. Not to mention non-relatives, even relatives wouldn't do this."
If the family wants Su Xueqing to sell the house to them at a low price, that's not okay. Su Xueqing is willing to sell it at a low price, that's her business, she didn't bring it up, and if others want her to sell the house at a low price, that's their problem.
Amelia Su said that deliberately because she didn’t want Amelia Su to set her sights on her one day. She thought Amelia Su was a little bit floating.
"Interest..." Amelia Su thought of Yu Guochao and his wife going to Ning Yanjing to borrow money. Ning Yanjing asked for interest, so Yu Guochao and his wife didn't dare to borrow money. "You really follow your husband."
"Sister, we want to borrow money from you without paying interest, okay? We'll owe it to you for ten or eight years." Su Xueqing said.
“Where do I have the money?” Amelia Su said quickly, “It’s good that I didn’t ask you to borrow money.”
Amelia Su was afraid that Amelia Su would really ask her to borrow money. It’s not like rich people don’t borrow money from others.
"We have to save money to buy a house and a shop. There are so many places to spend money." Amelia Su said, "We don't have a TV or a refrigerator at home. We don't have many things."
“…” Amelia Su found it funny when she saw Amelia Su saying these words eagerly.
At the Yu family, Aunt Su was talking to Yu Guochao. She meant that Yu Guochao should find a stable job and not always do odd jobs at home. During the Chinese New Year, Yu Guochao and his wife had such a hard time. What should Yu Guochao and his wife do during the Chinese New Year next year?
"Now that you're back in the city, you can't avoid socializing." Aunt Su said, "In a few days, Xueqing will have a wedding banquet, and later, your uncle's grandson's first birthday banquet... and other happy events, all of which require red envelopes. It doesn't matter if you give less to your uncle and Xueqing, but if you give so little to other families, others will say something bad about you."
"We didn't accept any red envelopes from them," said Mrs. Yu.
"You haven't collected it yet, but you will have to collect it in the future." Aunt Su advised earnestly, "If it doesn't work, go and work at a construction site in the development zone. There are people working nearby, and you will get food and accommodation, and you can save money."
"No, he's dead." Mrs. Yu said, "Mom, if you really want to do good for Guochao, you shouldn't let him work on the construction site. I can't become a widow, and your grandchildren can't be without their biological father."
"Then you can make something to sell. If not breakfast, tofu will do." Aunt Su said.
"No, tofu is hard to make and it goes bad very easily," said Mrs. Yu. "After what happened last year, no one wanted to buy our food even if we sold it again."
Yu Guochao sat nearby without saying anything. He listened to what Yu's wife and Su's aunt were saying.
"You won't make a penny this way." Aunt Su frowned.
"Then let Dad give the job to Guochao." said Mrs. Yu.
"..." Aunt Su stopped talking. There was no way her husband would give up his job at this time.
"Dad is so old, wouldn't it be better if he gave his job to Guochao earlier?" said Mrs. Yu, "Jiachao has a stable job, but Guochao in our family doesn't have a stable job. You are just biased towards Jiachao."
Aunt Su tried her best to persuade Mrs. Yu and her husband, but it was of no use. Yu Guochao didn't say a word and was like a piece of wood.
"You still have to send money to the countryside every month." Aunt Su reminded, "Before, you could still borrow money, but now, I'm afraid you can't borrow money anymore."
"Then let Guochao take on more work, isn't that enough?" Mrs. Yu didn't think this was a problem.
Aunt Su didn't want to say anything more. She asked him to take more work. Would others have so much work for Yu Guochao to do?
This couple is always worried about accidents happening to themselves or others, and they feel that if they do something, an accident will happen to them.
Aunt Su couldn't tell the Su family that they didn't want to mention Yu Guochao and his wife. They were just a bunch of rotten things that couldn't be helped. The Su family had done enough. If Yu Guochao and his wife wanted to give up, who could stop them from giving up?
Xu Ruyun did not let her eldest brother and sister-in-law go to work in the factory. The factory was far from their home. If her eldest brother and sister-in-law went there to work, they would have to live there. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law had children, so there would be a lot of trouble if they went there. As for other relatives, Xu Ruyun decided not to let them go there.
Therefore, Xu Ruyun did not tell her parents about Yan Yichen's job search. She knew that Su Xueqing had heard her conversation with Yan Yichen, and she believed that Su Xueqing would not tell anyone casually. Su Xueqing had no relatives who wanted to work in the factory. If she really wanted to find a job, Su Xueqing's partner was there.
When the factory was unveiled, Xu Ruyun went there and took the ferry. Xu Erge and Yu Li also went there, but Xu Dage and Xu Dasao did not go. Xu Ruyun said that Xu Dage and his wife had no investment and no shares, and that they did not want so many people from their family to go there, as it would make the partners unhappy.
Yu Li looked at the factory. She thought that if she had shares in the future, she could get dividends. Although the shares were small and not a lot, they were better than having nothing.
After the ceremony, the workers started working.
Yan Yichen asked Xu Ruyun, "Don't you have anyone to arrange?"
"No." Xu Ruyun said, "It would be troublesome to ask them to come. It's better to make some things clear so that they don't lose sight of themselves."
"I can't recognize myself..." Yan Yichen didn't expect Xu Ruyun to say these words.
"Yes." Xu Ruyun said, "When you are alive, you have to know yourself clearly. I am afraid that some people don't understand what they are like. They take advantage of others and think it is because of their own ability."
In her previous life, Xu Ruyun helped those people a lot. She doesn't want to help those people in this life, so let them struggle on their own.
"..." Yan Yichen thought of himself. He knew that it was because of the Ning family's help that he was able to open this factory so quickly.
Not only Yan Yichen knew, many people knew that Yan Yichen was relying on the Ning family. Yan's mother had upset Ning Jiaxuan many times, but Ning Jiaxuan did not propose to cancel the engagement, and also said that it was for the sake of the relationship between the two elders. Ning Jiaxuan said that her grandparents were no longer around, but the Ning family would still help the Yan family.
"What's wrong?" Xu Ruyun saw that Yan Yichen was a little dazed.
"Your idea is correct." Yan Yichen nodded, "People need to know themselves clearly."
"You need to know what you did right, and you also need to know what you did wrong," said Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun knew that she could not be as kind in this life as in her previous life. If someone wanted to harm her, she would prepare in advance. I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me. Xu Ruyun liked this sentence very much.
"We should remember the help others give us," Xu Ruyun emphasized.
In her previous life, Xu Ruyun helped those people, but they didn’t remember her kindness. In this life, Xu Ruyun didn’t plan to help those people, but she couldn’t become one of them. She had to be grateful and remember the kindness others showed her.
"You...are good." Yan Yichen admired Xu Ruyun very much.
Yu Li and Brother Xu were standing not far away and vaguely heard some words.
"Your sister..." Yu Li reached out and poked Brother Xu, "After hearing those words, don't say anything when you go back."
Yu Li firmly stands on Xu Ruyun's side, and Xu Ruyun can help them make money.
"Yeah." Brother Xu nodded. He listened to his wife.
When Xu Ruyun returned to the Xu family, her mother asked her, "Does the factory need any more people?"
"Yes." Xu Ruyun said, "But it's not my responsibility. According to the contract, I'm not responsible for recruiting workers or managing the factory. Mom, do you want someone to go over there?"
"It's your aunt's people. They need work." Xu's mother said, "I was thinking that your factory is open now. If you need people, you can ask them to come over."
"They can't go over there." Xu Ruyun said, "My partner doesn't like us to get too involved. He specifically told me and my second brother that he would be in charge of the factory. We draw the design and wait for the dividends, and he will handle other things. We can't violate the contract. If we do, he has the right to choose to terminate the contract with us, and he can return the money to my second brother. He doesn't lack the money to build a factory, and my second brother's money is too little."
"Is that so?" Xu's mother couldn't believe it. "Is it so inhumane?"
"We made the agreement at the beginning." Xu Ruyun said, "If I have to arrange for someone to go there now, he won't cooperate with us, and we won't be able to do anything. Mom, do you want us to do nothing? When the time comes, we won't be able to arrange for someone to go there, and he will kick us out."
"Forget it then." Xu's mother quickly shook her head, "You can't be kicked out."
"With the dividends, we will also be filial to you, mom." Xu Ruyun said, "You don't have to worry about those things. As for aunt and the others, just tell them directly. We really have no other way. As for me, I didn't set up a stall anymore. Instead, I drew blueprints and went to work in a factory. I was able to go because I had to draw blueprints. It was agreed at the beginning. Second brother doesn't have to set up a stall, he can wait for the dividends. Eldest brother and sister-in-law don't have other jobs, so they should continue to set up stalls. Eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't go to work in the factory, so aunt and the others can't say much."
Xu Ruyun had expected that those people would definitely come to find Xu's father and mother. As soon as they saw that there was benefit, they rushed over. If there was no benefit, they would not come.
"Mom, you have to explain it to them clearly." Xu Ruyun said, "It's not that we don't value these relatives, we just have no choice. They all know what our family situation is. We don't have so many factories, we rely on others. My second brother and I have less than half of their shares. In addition to the partner I mentioned earlier, there are other partners. It's really not up to us. If we had the final say, I would have arranged for them to go in directly."
"Don't worry, I know everything. I will definitely explain it to your aunt and the others." Xu's mother said, "The most important thing is to keep your and your second brother's shares. The factory has been built, and it will be time to make money later."
"After that, we have to deduct the costs, and then we can get the profit." Xu Ruyun said, "It cost a lot of money to build the factory. I'm afraid there will be no dividends this year, and there may not be any next year. I also told my second brother that there is no way to get the money back all at once from this investment."
Xu Ruyun didn't know when the factory would be profitable, but she knew the nature of those relatives. They would definitely think that she had made a lot of money and would all want to borrow money from her.
That won’t work. Xu Ruyun is unwilling to lend money to those people.
"It's not that easy to do business. Such a big factory recruits so many workers. Don't those workers want to be paid?" Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, you see, some state-owned factories have no orders and are on the verge of bankruptcy. Some state-owned factories have even been sold. It's even more difficult for private factories to rely on private ones."
"Will you be able to make money?" Mother Xu worried, "Your second brother's money..."
"Just wait, slowly." Xu Ruyun said, "Investment is like this, there are risks. If there is no risk, is it still an investment? We can't let others bear the loss and we will bear the profit. Why would they give us money when they are not related to us?"
"That's right." Xu's mother nodded, "We've already invested the money, so we can only wait."
"Well, yes, we can only wait." Xu Ruyun said.
At Yan's house, when Yan's mother saw Yan Yichen coming back, she didn't make a fuss and was very calm.
Yan Yichen felt something was wrong when he saw his mother so calm.
"Did you meet your partner today?" Yan's mother asked, "It was Ruyun."
"Mom." Yan Yichen frowned.
"I think she's quite hardworking." Yan's mother said, "When we were on the farm, the country people liked to find hardworking and capable women. Those educated youth with delicate skin who couldn't work were not as popular as those hardworking and capable country women. It was those country men who couldn't find wives that chose these educated youth who couldn't work."
Yan's mother wanted to match Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen. She said these words directly in front of Yan Yichen and praised Xu Ruyun.
"Ruyun's family background is not so good indeed." Yan's mother had someone investigate Xu Ruyun. She was not satisfied with Xu Ruyun's family background, but it didn't matter. The most important thing at the moment was to make Yan Yichen stop liking Ning Jiaxuan, and it would be best if Ning Jiaxuan could be sad. "She is much more capable than Ning Jiaxuan. Ning Jiaxuan..."
"Mom, don't say that. I'm engaged." Yan Yichen said.
"It's just an engagement, not a marriage certificate. Even if there is a marriage certificate, you can still find another woman." Yan's mother said, "Why do you make so much money? Isn't it to expand the family and to have more children for the family? Ancient people..."
"Mom, this is not ancient times." Yan Yichen said, "Please don't say these things in front of others."
"I didn't say these words in front of other people. I only said these words to you." Yan's mother said, "Didn't you say that you and Ning Jiaxuan would not get married? Since you are not getting married, you have to consider your future."
Yan's mother didn't believe what Yan Yichen said. She thought her son was just trying to please her and that he might still be thinking about marrying Ning Jiaxuan.
"Ning Jiaxuan is so out of touch. She's always out playing with this person, that person." Yan's mother said, "She plays with both men and women. She has no sense of propriety at all. She is engaged to you, and if she does that, she will only make you a laughing stock."
"She has the qualifications to make friends." Yan Yichen said. His mother had said that he and Ning Jiaxuan would not get married. If that was the case, why couldn't Ning Jiaxuan play with others?
Yan Yichen was very grateful to Ning Jiaxuan for being willing to maintain this engagement with him. Ning Jiaxuan had helped him a lot, and he had to give Ning Jiaxuan face. Yan Yichen originally thought that his mother was so quiet today, and he thought he could worry less, but he was wrong, his mother would never let him worry less.
"Women still have to listen to men's opinions." Yan's mother said, "As a daughter-in-law, you have to listen to your mother-in-law, and she is arrogant. If I say something to her, she will say several more things to me. She doesn't even consider me as her future mother-in-law. Son, she is the daughter of your enemy. Remember, she can't be good to us. Maybe they are planning a bigger conspiracy."
"..." Yan Yichen looked at Mother Yan's mysterious expression and felt powerless again.
Yan Yichen thought of what Xu Ruyun said, that one should be grateful and not do anything ungrateful.
If the Ning family wants to be ruthless to the Yan family, there is no need to help Yan Yichen so much. The Ning family will never think of letting the Yan family rise first and then suppressing the Yan family. This is not a cat and mouse game. The Ning family has helped the Yan family so much, and they are still saying that they have a conspiracy and say that they are wrong. If Ning Jiaxuan proposed to cancel the engagement early, Yan Yichen would not be surprised. This is all because of Yan's mother.
"Be careful." Yan's mother sighed, "They are all bad guys, very bad, very bad bad guys."
"Mom..." Yan Yichen was helpless.
"I think Ruyun is pretty good. I like her very much." Yan's mother said, "She is self-reliant and does not rely on her family. She can work hard on her own. She can also work with you in the future. It's not that she can't help you at all."
What Yan's mother thought was that Yan Yichen was willing to open a factory with Xu Ruyun, which meant that Yan Yichen should be very satisfied with Xu Ruyun. Otherwise, why didn't Yan Yichen find someone else but had to find Xu Ruyun to open a factory?
Yan Yichen approached Xu Ruyun to open a factory simply because Xu Ruyun's products were good and her ideas were good. Xu Ruyun wanted to make headwear that was safe for children and she knew how to care for children.
Although Xu Ruyun is not married and has no children, Yan Yichen sees maternal love in Xu Ruyun.
Yan Yichen really likes that kind of maternal love. He wants his biological mother to be as good as him. How great it would be. His biological mother only adds trouble to him and doesn't know how to relieve his pressure, making his situation more and more embarrassing.
"Xu Ruyun is just my partner." Yan Yichen said.
"She is a partner now, and she can be your girlfriend or even your wife in the future." Yan's mother said, "If you get along well with her, maybe it will work out."
"..." Yan Yichen didn't want to talk.
"Ning Jiaxuan's family background is good, but she looks down on us. She looks down on our family from the bottom of her heart." Yan's mother said, "She can't be really good to you. If you two are really together, she will definitely cheat on you."
"Mom, have you taken the medicine?" Yan Yichen asked.
"I have taken the medicine today." Yan's mother said quickly, "I have taken the medicine. You don't need to take it again. Eating too much is not good for your health."
"Have you eaten?" Yan Yichen asked again.
"I've eaten." said Yan's mother.
"Then go lie down and have some rest." Yan Yichen said.
"You...are you annoyed by me again? Son, I am always thinking about you, Mom..."
"You don't want to rest, you play, I'm going to take a break, I just came back from outside, I worked too long, I'm too tired." Yan Yichen was afraid that Yan's mother would think that he was taking a break because of her, so he had to emphasize that he had been working too long, "I have to go to the factory again tomorrow, I have to keep an eye on it, there can't be any mistakes. This is the first batch of products, we have to do it well, the customers will be satisfied, and they will continue to buy from us in the future."
"You go and have a rest." When Yan's mother heard this, she told Yan Yichen to go and have a rest.
At school, Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing finished class and walked together on the school path.
Su Xueqing told Ning Jiaxuan that she saw Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun together, "It's for the factory. They said they could let Xu Ruyun recruit workers."
"Didn't you say that the Xu family should not be responsible for these things?" Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Oh?" Su Xueqing was unclear.
"He told me a few things, saying that the Xu family is not responsible for the factory's affairs." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I asked a few questions, and he said a few things. Even if I asked, he might not tell me everything. From the very beginning, he didn't take the engagement seriously. Later, I told him frankly that he was just pretending to give me gifts and take me out to eat for others to see. He really seemed to be working, and I was just a part of his job. He didn't treat Xu Ruyun in a businesslike manner."
"Maybe." Su Xueqing said, "According to what you said, the Xu family is not allowed to interfere in the operation of the factory, but he still said those words, which shows that he knows how to consider Xu Ruyun."
When Su Xueqing read this part of the original novel, she realized that Yan Yichen was indeed considering Xu Ruyun.
"Is there simple appreciation between men and women?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either." Su Xueqing said, "The relationship between men and women can easily deteriorate."
Don't just talk about business as business. You have to give others appropriate benefits so that others may benefit you. This is also the way to do business.
This is not the case between Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun. They will slowly change from mutual appreciation to mutual love. Xu Ruyun has experienced a lot in her past life, and Yan Yichen has such a biological mother. Both of them are injured people, and they can understand each other better.
"Just wait." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded.
"You don't have to pay special attention to them." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I'll have someone keep an eye on them."
"It doesn't matter whether you keep an eye on her or not." Su Xueqing said, "Yan Yichen's biological mother is the biggest loophole."
Because Yan's mother doesn't care whether she has a son or not. What she cares about most is herself and the so-called Yan family. That's why Yan's mother would say some things outside and also say things that shouldn't be said in front of Ning Jiaxuan.
"Then I won't have anyone watching them." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Sending someone to watch them will make people disgusted."
Ning Jiaxuan didn't want others to stare at her all the time, and she also didn't want to stare at others.
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "Then don't send anyone to keep an eye on them."
In the original novel, Ning Jiaxuan sent people to keep an eye on Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun, which became a point of criticism for Ning Jiaxuan. Others said that Ning Jiaxuan was too strict and suffocating, and that she was like another Yan's mother. Others were more on Yan Yichen's side. Xu Ruyun took advantage of this to make Ning Jiaxuan's reputation worse.
Xu Ruyun didn't want others to think that she was the third party. Even though she took action when Yan Yichen was engaged, she still wanted to let others know that it was because Ning Jiaxuan behaved poorly that she, Xu Ruyun, sympathized with Yan Yichen and Yan Yichen fell in love with her, Xu Ruyun.
"Save some pocket money." Su Xueqing said, "They are not worth it."
"Well, it's not worth it." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Fortunately, I have you, so we can talk."
Ning Jiaxuan didn't like to say those things to her other friends, because they didn't understand her very well. In their eyes, business marriages were about interests, not personal feelings, and her friends didn't care much about love.
To be honest, Ning Jiaxuan herself doesn’t care that much about love. She can live without love, but she can’t make her life a mess.
"I don't really understand it either, so don't think I'm giving you blind advice." Su Xueqing said.
"You didn't give me any random advice. I still have to make the decision myself." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You did a great job. It's great that you listened to me."
Ning Jiaxuan didn't have very high requirements for Su Xueqing. Ning Jiaxuan was very satisfied that Su Xueqing could be her listener.
"Have you seen the wedding dress?" Ning Jiaxuan asked, "I heard from mom that we are going to prepare six or eight sets of clothes for you. We are still preparing them."
"I haven't seen it yet, but I measured the size. I measured it at the end of last year." Su Xueqing said, "It's still in the works. It's not ready so quickly."
Ning's mother was watching, so the Su family didn't need to watch, and the money was also paid by the Ning family. Su Xueqing thought this was good, she believed in Ning's mother's vision, and those people would definitely be able to prepare the clothes very well.
"I said I wanted to be your bridesmaid, and my mother asked me to ask you something." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Huh?" Su Xueqing thought she had heard it wrong.
"I'll be your bridesmaid, okay?" Ning Jiaxuan asked, "I want to be your in-laws."
Ning Jiaxuan snorted, "You were my classmate and my friend at first."
"Of course." Su Xueqing said, "What's wrong with that? As long as your family doesn't care about it, our family doesn't care about it either."
"It's settled. Make a pinky promise. Don't regret it." Ning Jiaxuan held out her little finger. "I'm going to give them a big surprise."
"Okay, OK, let's pinky promise." Su Xueqing raised her little finger.
At the Xu family, Aunt Xu brought her youngest daughter over. She not only wanted her daughter to have a job, she also wanted her daughter-in-law to work in a factory.
"No, it really can't be done. They signed the contract in the beginning, and they are on guard against Ruyun." Xu's mother said, "They are afraid that Ruyun will be too involved and that the whole factory will be controlled by Ruyun."
"We opened a factory together, but you're still like this..." Aunt Xu frowned.
"Those rich people have a lot of rules." Xu's mother said, "If any of you want to go, you have to apply for the job yourself, and you have to obey the management at that time. It's useless to mention Ruyun's name. If you say Ruyun's name, they may not be happy and may not let you go or cooperate with Ruyun. It's all written in the contract, and Ruyun said it. Before you came, I asked Ruyun if I could let someone go to work there, and she said no, not even her eldest brother and sister-in-law, let alone other people."
"Why is that?" Aunt Xu said, "I was thinking that Ruyun would be able to take care of the family after she opened the factory."
"I also wanted her to take care of the family." Xu's mother said, "You can see that she can't even take care of her elder brother and sister-in-law, let alone others."
"Didn't her second brother say he wanted to invest in the shares?" asked Aunt Xu.
"Her second brother already has a job, and her second sister-in-law is a college student. When she graduates, the government will arrange a job for her." Xu's mother said, "They don't have to work in the factory. Even if they don't have a job, it's not easy for them to go. It's all written in the contract. They just need to wait for the dividends, and they don't need to do anything else."
"This...this..." Aunt Xu didn't know what to say, "This rich man is really something."
"There is no way. Ruyun didn't contribute any money, and her second brother contributed very little. The two of them together only have a very small stake, less than 20%." Mother Xu said, "I heard there are other partners, not just Ruyun and the second brother."
After hearing these words, Aunt Xu was reluctant to continue. Aunt Xu and her daughter did not stay at Xu's house for dinner, and went back first.
On the way, Aunt Xu's daughter said, "I don't think it's impossible. They said that on purpose because they don't want us to go."
"..." Aunt Xu heard what her daughter said, and she had no choice. Mother Xu insisted that it was all written in the contract.
The Xu family had many people coming, not just relatives but also neighbors. Some people gave gifts, hoping that Xu's mother would arrange jobs for them, but Xu's mother said no and had to return the gifts.
Xu's mother really wanted to collect those things, but she couldn't do those things. If she could, she would definitely collect them.
"Mom, can't we let Ruyun think of a solution?" Sister Xu asked her mother when she got home that night. Others had also asked Sister Xu and promised her benefits. Sister Xu wanted those benefits very much, as long as Xu Ruyun let those people enter the factory.
"I've already told Ruyun about this." Mother Xu said, "Ruyun said that it's clearly written in the contract. If we insist on sending someone over, they won't refuse to cooperate with us."
Xu's mother didn't want Xu Ruyun and Xu Erge to be delisted. If her children had shares in the factory, their lives would be much better.
"Don't agree to those people's offer and don't accept their gifts." Xu's mother said, "No, if they go there and they don't cooperate with Ruyun, they will be rejected. It will be more trouble than it's worth."
"What a pity." Mrs. Xu said, "Working in a factory is not a difficult job. Everyone can do it."
"If they want to go, they can apply for the job." Xu's mother said, "They are still short of people."
Mrs. Xu thought that if she took the things and those people were hired, she wouldn't have to return the things. If they were not hired, she would return the things. Mrs. Xu had already thought of what Mrs. Xu had thought of, but she didn't say it out loud. She also coveted those things. It would be great if they could get those things.
When the Su family saw the excitement at the Xu family next door, they all went to look for the Xu family. When Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were just dating, some people came to the Su family, but not so many people. Those people came to the Su family for work, and Su's mother said there was nothing she could do. Someone said they could be vegetable washers, and Su's mother said that the restaurant didn't lack people at all, and because Su Yamei was Su Xueqing's biological sister, she asked Su Yamei to go over and do it.
"It's going to be busy for a while." Mrs. Su sighed. It was like a market next door, with several people coming every day.
"Close the door of the room." said Su's mother.
Su's mother and old lady Su basically stayed at home, but they also went to the toilet and bought groceries, so they didn't always lock the door to the living room. If those people entered the living room, they could easily sneak into the room. There were still some things at home, so Su's mother asked Su San's wife to close the door to prevent the things at home from being stolen.
Don’t think that there will be no problems just because we are all neighbors. Even if we are neighbors, we are all familiar with each other and it will be easier for others to take action.
"Okay." Mrs. Su said, "I'll lock the door. I'll leave the key here for you. You can let the child go in and rest."
Third Sister-in-law Su is not worried that Mother Su will search for things in her room, and Mother Su will not search her son and daughter-in-law's room at will. Third Sister-in-law Su is very confident in Mother Su and Old Lady Su.
Time passed day by day, and half a month before Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing's wedding banquet, Ning Yanjing's eldest brother, sister-in-law and their family returned to Nancheng.
