Chapter 72 The hair flower that my aunt bought for me
"You guys are committing fraud. Do you want us to call the police?" the man continued. "We are all neighbors. That's why we didn't call the police."
We called the police, the matter became a big deal, and everyone was embarrassed.
But they didn't want to suffer the loss in vain, so they came to Xu's house to make trouble.
When Xu's mother came back, she could only apologize to those people and asked Mrs. Xu to return the things to them. If some of the things were used, they could be converted into cash.
"We've been neighbors for so many years, so please bear with us. Please bear with us." Xu's mother has lived here for many years and finally has some dignity.
In the end, those people gave face to Xu's mother. They took the money or things and left.
"You have to take good care of your daughter-in-law." The neighbor said before leaving.
When the noise next door died down, Su's mother still hadn't opened the door and it was still closed.
Mother Xu looked at Mrs. Xu coldly, wondering how dare her eldest daughter-in-law do such things.
"Didn't I tell you? You can't arrange for anyone to go there." said Xu's mother.
"I didn't make any arrangements. They applied for the job. If they were hired, I would take away their things. If they were not hired, I would return their things." Mrs. Xu said, "Who knows what they did in the factory to get fired."
"Do you know what they look like? You just collect things?" Xu's mother sneered.
Xu's mother didn't dare to accept those people's things casually. It was not so easy to accept their things. Some state-owned factories were acquired and didn't want those people. Those people were looking for jobs when they didn't have jobs. Some people were just old-timers. They didn't want to work hard at all and just wanted to take advantage of the factory.
If those things could be collected, Xu's mother would have done it long ago. There was no way it would be Xu's wife's turn to collect these things.
Su's mother opened the door and saw that those people had left. She opened the door to let in some air. Su's mother did not go to the Xu family next door. Family disgrace should not be made public. They would definitely not want to tell the Su family more about those things.
So many people knew what happened, so it was easy for Su's mother to know what happened in the Xu family. She just had to wait and hear what others said. Su's mother had just heard some of the content and could vaguely guess what happened. Mrs. Xu accepted other people's things but didn't do the job properly, so others came to her house to make trouble.
At night, Xu Ruyun came to Xu's house. She knew that those people would definitely come to Xu's house to make trouble, so she deliberately waited until those people came to make trouble before she came. Xu Ruyun wanted to teach Sister-in-law Xu a lesson. She didn't like this sister-in-law in her previous life, and she still doesn't like this sister-in-law in this life.
Xu Ruyun thought that her second sister-in-law was much quieter. She went to school, cooked at home, and sometimes went to set up a stall with her second brother at night. Xu Ruyun was very satisfied with Yu Li's behavior, and Yu Li did not cause her any trouble.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how embarrassed you made me?" Xu Ruyun said with a straight face, "My partners told me that if something like this happens again, they will withdraw my shares and my second brother's shares and will not allow us to continue to run the factory with them. Those people have no intention of doing their job properly. They also said that I am supporting them from above, so they don't have to work more. If they don't work, they still want to get paid. Do you think I am a fool? What is their relationship with me? Should I give them money for nothing?"
"I...I thought they would be able to do a good job after applying..."
"You think, you think, you think that's right?" Xu Ruyun said, "You've screwed me over. People have warned me that this can't happen again. Regardless of whether the people we know got in through recruitment or not, once they get in, they have to work hard. They can't not work, and they can't always think about doing easy work. If they do easy work and get more money, will others be happy?"
"This... Ruyun, this... I really don't know." Mrs. Xu said, "I thought..."
Mrs. Xu thought that as long as those people entered the factory, nothing else would happen. She didn't expect something to happen so soon.
"Don't let this happen again." Xu Ruyun said, "If this happens again, none of us will make any money."
"There is no future." Mrs. Xu still had wounds on her face.
This time, Xu's wife lost more than she gained. In addition to returning the things, Xu's mother also gave them some extra things. She had to give them something else, otherwise they would be unhappy. They had been neighbors for so many years, and in order to save face for everyone, Xu's mother had to give them a little more money.
"Mom, you too, didn't you really know that my sister-in-law was putting things away?" Xu Ruyun said.
"I..." Xu's mother knew something vaguely, but didn't think about it too deeply.
"This must never happen again," Xu Ruyun said. "I have said many times that the factory does not belong to me alone. I cannot make those decisions alone. The factory is not under my management. I cannot make the decision. I cannot make the decision."
Xu Ruyun emphasized that she didn't want these people to bother again. Fortunately, Yan Yichen didn't show that he was unhappy. He just reminded Xu Ruyun that it was business, not playing house. Even so, Xu Ruyun felt ashamed. She didn't pay a penny, she just gave the design, and left everything else to Yan Yichen.
When Yan Yichen asked Xu Ruyun to recruit people, Xu Ruyun said that no one wanted to recruit. Later, this happened again. Xu Ruyun was embarrassed. Many people in the factory knew about this and others thought that Xu Ruyun wanted to fight for power and profit.
Xu Ruyun really didn't have such an idea. The factory had only been in operation for a short time and hadn't made much money yet. Why would Xu Ruyun bother with all that? Xu Ruyun was fine setting up a stall, but it would be difficult for her to find big clients.
"Sister-in-law, if you have too much free time, go out and set up a stall earlier." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't mess around at home with these useless things."
"I...I understand." Mrs. Xu was in a bad mood. She thought that if she had known that things would turn out like this, she would never have bothered with it.
A day later, when Su Xueqing went to Su's house in the evening, she saw someone going to Xu's house. There were people who had been employed in the factory and were still working there. They came to ask Mrs. Xu to return their things. It was obvious that they had applied for the job on their own, not with the help of the Xu family, so how could Mrs. Xu have the nerve to accept their things.
"What happened next door?" Su Xueqing asked, "I think they are quite fierce."
"Didn't Xu Ruyun open a factory with someone else? Her sister-in-law took things from people and said she could arrange for people to work in the factory, but in fact they didn't have the ability to do so at all." Su's mother said, "Someone reported Xu Ruyun's name in the factory and was fired."
"It's not just those who applied for the position and were fired." Su Xueqing said.
"The work was not done well." Mother Su thought about it and understood. How could a state-owned factory be the same as a private factory? "Many people are used to working in state-owned factories, and they do things secretly and cunningly, and no one cares. In a private factory, there is no way they will be allowed to do that."
Everyone understands this kind of thing, but there is no point in just talking about it.
No matter why others were fired, Xu Dasao did not help them do things, so she should not have accepted money. They are all neighbors, and Xu Dasao should have told them to apply directly. Whether they can be hired depends on their own ability. If those people were fired, it has nothing to do with Xu Dasao.
"So that's how it is." Su Xueqing said. There was indeed such an incident in the original book, but Su Xueqing was not sure when it happened.
"At first, someone came to us and asked your partner to arrange a job for them, but I didn't agree. There were also people who wanted to go to the construction site, but I told them to apply for the job themselves." Su's mother said, "We can't control these things."
"Of course we can't control it." Su Xueqing said, "Those things are not something we can arrange."
"Yesterday, those who were fired went to ask for their things, and today, others went to ask for them too." Su's mother said, "Everyone worked hard to earn money to buy these things, so it's impossible for them to take advantage of them for nothing. But I guess some people don't dare to come and ask for them, after all, Xu Ruyun is still working in the factory."
Xu Ruyun works in a factory, and it would be easy for her to make things difficult for those people. Xu Ruyun cannot just randomly assign people to work, and it would be very easy for her to kick some people out.
No one came to ask for their things, and they didn't feel comfortable because they didn't get their things back.
"This is their family matter." Su Xueqing said.
If someone didn't come to pick up something, Xu's mother would take Xu's sister-in-law to return the item, which was also Xu Ruyun's intention. The Xu family wanted to let others know that this was Xu's sister-in-law's one-sided decision and had nothing to do with the rest of the Xu family. The rest of the Xu family didn't know that Xu's sister-in-law would do such a thing.
Mrs. Xu's reputation has been ruined, so let her reputation continue to be ruined and don't drag others into it.
"We've basically kept the door closed these two days." Su's mother said, "Leaving a crack in the door."
"I saw it when I just came here, and I was wondering if you were doing something in the living room and needed to close the door." Su Xueqing said.
"I'm afraid they'll get angry." Su's mother said, "Just cover it up lightly."
At this time, Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun had just finished dinner in the restaurant. Xu Ruyun sincerely apologized to Yan Yichen and told him some information about the Xu family, letting Yan Yichen know her difficulties.
"Every family has its own problems." Xu Ruyun sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help them, but... you can see that there are neighbors who don't want to work, not to mention my relatives. If they come here, they will probably just want to sit there and want to be a small leader. If they really do that, I will definitely quarrel with them, and this quarrel will make it difficult for relatives."
"It's not your fault." Yan Yichen thought of his biological mother. His biological mother was very difficult to deal with. He asked his mother not to do certain things, but his mother insisted on doing them.
"I also want to say that this is not my fault, but I am involved in this matter after all." Xu Ruyun said, "I asked my mother to return all the things my sister-in-law took, and let those who applied for the job and are able to work do it."
"It's not your fault." Yan Yichen still said the same thing.
"Thank you for understanding me." Xu Ruyun said.
The two of them are still in a cooperative relationship, not lovers.
Xu Ruyun thinks Yan Yichen is a very good person and he can understand her.
Yan Yichen sent Xu Ruyun back to her residence. Xu Ruyun no longer set up a stall, but concentrated on drawing designs. Xu Ruyun lived in a rented house. She had previously paid for her second brother to buy a house, so she didn't have much money at the moment. Xu Ruyun drew designs in the factory, and Yan Yichen gave her some money every month as a salary. There would be dividends later, so Xu Ruyun's life was okay.
When they arrived at the door, Xu Ruyun invited Yan Yichen in for tea, "Come in and have a cup of tea."
"Some other time." Yan Yichen said.
"Okay." Xu Ruyun nodded.
Xu Ruyun watched Yan Yichen get in the car and then drove away. Xu Ruyun thought that if Yan Yichen was with her, they could open a factory together and make a lot of money. This might not be a bad choice.
After her rebirth, Xu Ruyun did not think about being single for the rest of her life. She still wanted to get married and have children.
Xu Ruyun rarely saw Yan Yichen talking about the engagement, and Yan Yichen's fiancée basically never went to the factory to look for Yan Yichen. Xu Ruyun thought that maybe because they had to take the ferry, Yan Yichen's fiancée disliked the trouble and didn't go to look for Yan Yichen.
No matter what the reason was, Xu Ruyun was sure that the relationship between Yan Yichen and his fiancée was not good.
This engagement might really be just as Yan's mother said, an engagement that will not have any result.
If this is an engagement with no future, then why can't I take part?
Xu Ruyun did not tell Yan Yichen these things directly. There was no deep affection between the two of them. If she said these things now, it would only make others think that she wanted to be the third party and that she had moral problems. Xu Ruyun could not let Yan Yichen hate her. She had to proceed step by step. There was no need to confess. Just do it little by little, and everything would come naturally.
Xu Ruyun hoped that Yan Yichen would confess to her, rather than her taking the initiative to confess to Yan Yichen. If a woman makes the first move, she will become worthless in the eyes of men. Xu Ruyun cannot let herself become a cheap commodity. She wants Yan Yichen to know that she is very useful. It is precisely because of her ability that Yan Yichen wants to cooperate with her and Yan Yichen likes her.
Brother Ning is back, and Yan Yichen has to go visit him.
Before Yan Yichen went to meet Brother Ning, he made an appointment with Ning Jiaxuan. The two of them had dinner together outside, and Yan Yichen asked himself when would be a good day to go to the Ning family.
"You can go if you want." Ning Jiaxuan said, "But my eldest brother has been busy lately. My younger sister-in-law went back home, and my eldest brother didn't even eat at home."
"Wait until the weekend?" Yan Yichen asked.
"He can also work overtime on weekends." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Do you want to wait until my eldest brother is at home? Do you have something for my eldest brother to do?"
"There is nothing for him to do." Yan Yichen said, "I heard that he is now in charge of the development zone."
"Yes, I am in charge of the development zone." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Isn't your factory also in the development zone?"
"It's in the development zone." Yan Yichen said.
"My eldest brother likes to do things in a businesslike manner and doesn't like all kinds of messy things." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Let me ask you, is your mother trying to match you up with another woman? She's not just saying it, but also taking action?"
"I..." Yan Yichen didn't know what to say, "I'll let her pay attention."
"You always say that, but has your mother noticed?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "We are still engaged now, but... I can't guarantee how long this engagement will last. You want face, and so does our family. We can't let others think that your mother wants you to be with another woman, and I'm still shamelessly staying by your side."
"I'll take care of it." Yan Yichen said.
"It's useless to just talk." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"..." Yan Yichen was helpless.
Mrs. Ning went to the house of the family that didn't want to move out. She knew that they wanted more money. The key now is that the country has a policy, and the amount of money that should be distributed is the amount of money. If these people are unwilling, and it continues like that, the house will not be demolished, which will be bad.
"I heard someone is interested in your son." Mrs. Ning said, "I brought the person here, you can take a look."
The woman had originally been interested in the son of this family, and it was not that Ning Dasao went out to find someone else. However, this family lived in a mud house and had no money, so the woman's family did not agree. The woman dragged on for several years without finding a partner. If it still didn't work out, she would marry someone else.
"You signed the agreement, the house will be demolished, you can get a share of the money, and your daughter-in-law will be married." Mrs. Ning said, "We can't let the money hold up our child's marriage. I've asked people, and now it's just your family that hasn't moved out. Although your house is on the blueprint, and a road is to be built, it doesn't have to be built. It can be built a little further ahead. It's not impossible for you to live in the middle, while others work."
“……”The old man didn’t say anything.
"Your house has been built for many years, right?" Mrs. Ning said, "It's raining today, and it seems to be leaking a little. It will cost money to renovate it. If it rains hard, the house will be too old after a few years, and you want to rebuild it, you still have to go through approval. If the higher-ups don't approve it and say it's a dangerous building, they can force you to vacate it directly, which is also for your own good. I'm not threatening you, but they want to deal with you, and there are many ways."
Mrs. Ning is in charge of women's work in the northwest and often takes care of some trivial matters.
"Don't worry about your poor legs and feet and difficulty climbing stairs. We will find you a house with an elevator." Mrs. Ning said, "The house we are assigned also has an elevator. It's not on the ground floor, so it's not very humid, which is good for your health. Old man, I see that your legs and feet are not very good. You may have rheumatoid arthritis."
When Mrs. Ning came over, she saw the old man rubbing his legs constantly, probably because he was in pain. Mrs. Ning chose to come over at this time on purpose, because when it rains, people are easily in a bad mood and their emotions are easily fluctuating. When it rains, many problems can be seen in this house.
"You have to think about yourself and your children and grandchildren." Mrs. Ning said, "Someone in the family is unwilling to agree. You are the head of the family and the house is yours. You can agree."
Mrs. Ning has already inquired about it. The house belongs to the old man and the house title deed only has his name on it.
"Alas." The old man sighed. He also wanted to move away, but one of his sons didn't want to. He said that with so many people, the house wouldn't be enough for several children to share with just that little money. They just wanted a house for each person, and they wanted a lot of money. The old man had many children, not just two sons.
How is this possible? This adobe house is only about 60 square meters, less than 100 square meters, and it is in the village. If this house is in the city, the compensation will be higher. In the village, the price is different. You can't say that you want to build a development zone, the land is expensive, and this house will also have to pay a lot of compensation.
The government is short of funds, and that's the amount of money they gave.
"You can get two houses from the demolition, which will give you some money." Mrs. Ning said, "You can pool the money together and buy another house. A new house is better than this mud house."
The old man lives in a house that he and his brother share. Each of them owns half of the house, and the property certificate shows that they own half of the house. In certain historical periods, this kind of house division was common in rural areas. The old man's brother's family has agreed to the demolition and has signed to move out. The brother also persuaded them to agree as soon as possible and not to delay.
"Give it here, I'll sign it." said the old man. He saw that his son and the girl had tears in their eyes. He had known the girl for a long time, and he also knew that the girl's family looked down on his family. He couldn't ruin his son's life for money that he would not get.
If this time, such a good opportunity, his family didn't seize it well, and he didn't get a house or money, or a mud house, the girl's family would not let the girl marry him. The eldest son is too honest, the old man sighed.
When the old man's other son came, he wanted to stop the old man from signing, but the old man had already signed.
"I signed it. I signed it." The old man said, "Now that you are married, you can't ignore your brother. Your brother is several years older than you and he is not married yet."
The old man couldn't let his eldest son resent him for his whole life. The eldest son made many sacrifices for the family. The eldest son was honest. It was the second son who wanted more money and didn't let the old man sign. The second son didn't live here at all, but lived somewhere else. The eldest son lived with the old man.
The second son wanted to snatch the documents, so Mrs. Ning naturally wouldn't let anyone snatch them away because there were other people around her.
"Don't rob." The old man said, "If you try to rob, I will die at your doorstep!"
The second son had previously made the old man lie on the ground and let him threaten people, and now it was his turn to be threatened by his own father.
Mrs. Ning successfully completed the matter and handed the documents to the relevant departments. People in the relevant departments said that Mrs. Ning was very capable, but she did not need these people to praise her. She did it to make her husband and the family live a better life.
The people who went with Sister Ning also felt strange. They had said similar things, but they didn't get the job done. Sister Ning went and got the job done quickly. Sister Ning told them: Maybe it's because I'm often at the grassroots level, so they think I'm more gentle.
There are always people who think they can threaten others, thinking that others will agree if the government pays. They take it for granted, and they may not be able to control others.
Mrs. Ning had done the job, and Su Xueqing and the others soon found out that they didn't have to change the drawings, and everyone was relieved. If they had to change the drawings, they would have to spend a lot of time.
"No need to change it." Professor Guo said to everyone.
Everyone was very happy, and someone asked, "Which big guy solved it?"
"No matter which big guy solved it, as long as you know you don't have to change the drawings, you should be happy," said Professor Guo.
Some people have been working overtime for several days in a row just to modify the drawings.
"Let's have dinner together tonight," Professor Guo said with a smile.
Professor Guo is treating us, so no one needs to pay.
In the evening, Su Xueqing, Han Fang and others went to eat, and then they found that it was in the cafeteria of the Architectural Design Institute.
Professor Guo asked the canteen chef to make it separately, which did cost him some money.
"Aren't we going to a restaurant outside?" someone asked.
"It's great to be able to eat in the cafeteria and have so many dishes." Han Fang said quickly, "Normally, we don't have these big dishes. These are all hard dishes."
"Yeah, it's a hard dish." When Han Fang looked at Su Xueqing, Su Xueqing nodded quickly, "Do you want to eat it? If not, my senior and I will eat more."
"Eat, eat." Others said quickly, "It's not enough, we need more food."
"More, more." Professor Guo said, "How much can you eat?"
"We are big eaters," said a male colleague.
Later on, they did ask for two more dishes, just two, and everyone was full after eating the other dishes. The dishes cooked by the chef in the company cafeteria were generous in quantity and larger in portion than those cooked in restaurants outside.
After dinner, Su Xueqing and Han Fang walked together. They were both heading towards Nancheng University. Ning Yanjing was not there, so Su Xueqing let Han Fang get in the car.
Su Xueqing didn't ask Han Fang to get in the car every time, and Han Fang didn't ask to go with Su Xueqing. Han Fang knew her limits. Even if they were going the same way, she couldn't always take someone else's car. It was inappropriate.
"Fortunately, I don't have to change it." Han Fang sat in the car and reached out to scratch her hair. "A lot of my hair has fallen out."
"I can relax a little now." Su Xueqing said.
"No." Han Fang said, "This one thing is over, there are other things. There are so many things, I don't know where all these things came from. You are the one who got you to do other things instead of these trivial things. It's not easy for you to keep an eye on the bridge over there."
"It's OK." Su Xueqing said, "I'm not a supervisor, so my responsibility is small."
The company did use Su Xueqing's drawings, but there were big bosses supporting it, so Su Xueqing didn't have to support it alone. For such a big thing, those leaders couldn't let Su Xueqing support it alone.
When Su Xueqing designed the bridge, she had already thought about the possible problems. The bridge also needs to be of a certain height, it has to be higher, not too low. The river also needs to have cargo ships passing through it, and the current cargo ships may not be high enough, but that may not be the case in the future.
"Even though I'm not a supervisor, I still have responsibilities," Han Fang said. "These things are not easy to deal with."
"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. What is there to be afraid of?" Su Xueqing said.
"When I graduate, I will be a formal employee... I'm actually still a little scared, afraid that something might happen," said Han Fang.
"Just do what you have to do well. The rest is beyond our control." Su Xueqing said, "If something really goes wrong, it's not just one person who will bear the responsibility."
"Will you think I'm a timid person? I learned this and wanted to stay in the company. Even if I succeed in staying, I'm afraid I'll be held responsible if something goes wrong," said Han Fang.
"Be careful and do it well. It's okay." Su Xueqing said, "Senior, you are about to graduate. You are happy but also flustered."
Graduating from school and entering society is a big step.
In her previous life, Su Xueqing stepped into society after graduating from school. At first, she was not able to adapt. In the first year, she doubted whether she had the ability to do things well. When she did things well and got promoted, she faced other problems.
It’s not like Su Xueqing hasn’t questioned herself before. No matter what, one has to move forward.
The car stopped at the door of Su Xueqing's residence. Su Xueqing wanted the driver to take Han Fang back, but Han Fang refused.
"I'm just getting some fresh air. It's just a short distance away. We're very close." Han Fang said, "There are people on the road. The lights are so bright. Nothing's wrong. I still need to buy some things. It's a good place to get off."
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded. Seeing Han Fang say that, she didn't force Han Fang.
There are many small stalls outside the school, where people sell food and small items. Many college students like to walk around the school gate after class. Some things at the school gate are very cheap, not particularly expensive.
Su Xueqing returned home and Ning Yanjing was sitting in the living room.
"Why are you back so late today?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"The teacher is treating us." Su Xueqing said, "Please invite us to eat in the cafeteria and let the chef cook the dishes separately."
Su Xueqing has to get along with everyone. She can't always say that she is busy. She still has to eat with everyone.
"Is there anything happy?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Yes, there is something happy." Su Xueqing said, "There is a family in a village over in the development zone who have always been unwilling to sign and move out. Today they signed!"
"Signed?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"It's signed. I heard someone went to talk to them today." Su Xueqing said, "It rained today, and I thought no one went to talk. I didn't expect them to go to talk even when it was raining. After the discussion and signing, there is no need to change the original design drawings, and everyone is very happy."
"This is indeed something to be happy about." Ning Yanjing said. He gently patted the seat beside him and motioned Su Xueqing to sit down.
"There are a lot of things going on in the development zone, all kinds of things." Su Xueqing said, "We have to go to the construction site from time to time."
"Go. Go when you are needed." Ning Yanjing said.
"We will hold our wedding banquet in a while." Su Xueqing said. She didn't know what she could do.
"All you have to do is show up." Ning Yanjing said, "The wedding dress will be delivered in a few days. Try it on to see if it fits you. If it doesn't, ask them to alter it."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said.
On the weekend, Yan Yichen bought some gifts and went to the Ning family. Brother Ning was not at home, but Sister Ning was. Brother Ning was very busy, and he couldn't wait to learn more about related matters, understand the provincial policies on the development zone, and interpret those policies.
Mrs. Ning brought some fruit and placed it on the table. "Yan Sen is busy. He left early in the morning."
"It's okay." Yan Yichen said.
"I haven't seen you for many years." said Mrs. Ning.
Yan Yichen grew up in Nancheng when he was a child. He is familiar with the Ning family, and Mrs. Ning is also familiar with the Ning family. They met when they were young.
"How have you been lately?" asked Mrs. Ning.
"It's okay." Yan Yichen said.
"Sister-in-law, the bananas today are not very sweet." Ning Jiaxuan asked, "Is it the wrong variety?"
"Maybe." Mrs. Ning said.
"Buy bigger ones. Some things are better when they are bigger." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Bananas are too small. They look delicate, but they are not ripe and not delicious."
"I'll buy something else some other day." Sister Ning said. When she bought fruits in the northwest, she didn't buy the best ones on purpose. Sometimes she couldn't necessarily buy the best fruits she wanted.
The northwest has plenty of sunlight and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is very suitable for growing fruits. Before Ning Dasao and his wife came, they also found experts to teach local people how to grow grapes and other fruits to give full play to the local advantages.
"By the way, do you have anything to do with Yansen?" asked Mrs. Ning.
"I heard that my eldest brother is in charge of the development zone's affairs. I would like to ask about the specific policies of the development zone." Yan Yichen said.
"The policies of the development zone are open to the public." Ning Jiaxuan said the bananas were not tasty, but she continued to eat them. "It's not just one or two people who know about it, and it's not just a few people who can enjoy it."
Sister-in-law Ning looked at Ning Jiaxuan. Ning Jiaxuan was not afraid that Yan Yichen would be unhappy with what she said. "Jiaxuan is right. Those policies are public. They have a special office. You can go there and ask. As long as the door is open, you can go and ask."
"Yeah, okay." Yan Yichen didn't really want to ask Brother Ning about the policy. He just wanted to see if he could get any benefits and if he could know something earlier than others.
"Let's have lunch here today," said Mrs. Ning.
Yan Yichen did not say he would go back for lunch, he stayed at the Ning family for lunch. Yan Yichen intended to have a good relationship with the Ning family, even if he and Ning Jiaxuan could not be together in the end, one more friend was always better than one more enemy.
After lunch, Yan Yichen left.
Mrs. Ning looked at Ning Jiaxuan, "You don't like him?"
"Well, I don't like it." Ning Jiaxuan said, "There is no love between men and women. Sister-in-law, you have only been here for a few days, you haven't heard the rumors outside, right?"
"I heard some." Sister Ning worked in women's affairs and at the grassroots level. She heard a lot of gossip when she was in the northwest. After returning, Sister Ning also paid attention to some gossip outside. "Is Yan Yichen's mother really crazy?"
"I don't think she's crazy, but she's just pretending to be crazy." Ning Jiaxuan said, "She's trying to match Yan Yichen with another woman, and she treats me as if I don't exist."
"Then cancel the engagement." Sister Ning said, "Why keep such an engagement?"
"Yan Yichen's career has just started, and I promised him that we would maintain the engagement for a while." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Before, the factory was not built. We had to go through the land approval process and find workers to build the factory. There were many procedures to go through. Now, my eldest brother is back, and my youngest brother is going to hold a wedding banquet. I think we should wait a while."
"Are you afraid of causing trouble to your elder and younger brothers?" asked Mrs. Ning.
"No, I want to be a bridesmaid for Xueqing." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Be a bridesmaid for my best friend."
"Xueqing?" Mrs. Ning was stunned for a moment.
"It's my sister-in-law." Ning Jiaxuan said, "At first, I wanted to introduce Xue Qing to my brother, but I didn't dare to do so. I was afraid that my brother would refuse directly, which would make Xue Qing lose face. I also felt that Xue Qing was so outstanding that my brother was not worthy of her. Who knew that he would fall in love with Xue Qing, and my brother got a good deal."
"Didn't your sister-in-law ask you to introduce her to someone?" asked Mrs. Ning.
"No." Ning Jiaxuan said, "She is still a college student. We met in our freshman year. At that time, she only wanted to be the best in her major and to impress her teachers. How could she think about a blind date? The young man liked her and asked me to arrange it for him. Xueqing also asked for my opinion. If I disagreed, she would not agree."
"You guys...are really very good friends." Mrs. Ning said.
"Xue Qing is not joking, she might really do that." Ning Jiaxuan said, "She is a very good person, she is not materialistic. She is indeed spending more of the young man's money now, but she is capable and she will make a lot of money in the future."
Ning Jiaxuan was afraid that her sister-in-law would have a problem with Amelia Su, who was her best friend. “You have to trust the young man’s vision.”
"Yes, we doubt your judgment, but we don't doubt your brother's judgment." Mrs. Ning chuckled, "Don't worry, we don't think she's bad. She and your brother are husband and wife, and they will live together for the rest of their lives."
Mrs. Ning thought very clearly that she was the sister-in-law, not the mother-in-law, and she did not need to take care of so many things.
"My judgment...is not always that good." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Although sometimes I am not very good at judging people..."
Yan Yichen returned to Yan's house, and as soon as he got home, he saw Yan's mother sitting in the living room. Yan's mother was always like this, she often sat in the living room waiting for Yan Yichen to come home.
"Did you go to the Ning family for dinner?" Yan's mother asked, "Did they invite you to dinner?"
"Come back after having dinner at their house." Yan Yichen said.
"Did you see anyone?" asked Yan's mother.
"Jiaxuan's elder brother was out busy." Yan Yichen added, "When Jiaxuan's sister-in-law went back to eat, Jiaxuan's elder brother was not at home either."
"That was just to fool you." Yan's mother said, "You told them in advance that you were going over. Ning Yansen hasn't stayed at home yet, which means he doesn't have you in his eyes at all. He doesn't want you to be his brother-in-law at all."
"Jiaxuan's sister-in-law..."
"Ning Jiaxuan's sister-in-law's family background is not good." Yan's mother said, "She married into a wealthy family. If others want to give her a hard time, they can give her a hard time, and she can't say it's not good. You are different. Our Yan family is not worse than the Ning family. If it weren't for the special period, if your father hadn't passed away, our family would definitely be stronger than the Ning family, not just a little bit stronger..."
Yan's mother said a lot of things, meaning that the Yan family is much stronger than the Ning family, that it is the Ning family that is jealous of the Yan family, that the Ning family attacked the Yan family, that the Ning family is the driving force behind the scenes, and that no one in the Ning family is a good person.
Yan Yichen did not interrupt what Yan's mother was saying. If he had interrupted what Yan's mother was saying, Yan's mother would have said more.
If I don’t see you today, let’s do it another day.
Yan Yichen still wanted to talk to Brother Ning. He knew that the development zone now had a tax-free policy. When he bought the land, there was also a policy. At that time, Yan Yichen was received by someone else. Yan Yichen wanted to have a good relationship with Brother Ning. Sometimes, if you know something one step ahead of others, you can gain a lot.
Brother Ning is in charge of the development zone, maybe he can find more orders for Yan Yichen's factory. Those people want to develop the development zone and support the enterprises in the development zone. Yan Yichen is on good terms with Brother Ning, and others dare not be ruthless to Yan Yichen.
"If your father were still alive, the Ning family would be nothing!" Yan's mother concluded.
At the Su family, Wei Shanshan got into a fight with someone when she was out playing. Her hair was all messy and her parents even came to the door.
"She wanted to take my hairpin. I refused, but she insisted on taking it away." Wei Shanshan said loudly, "That hairpin was bought for me by my aunt!"
