The next day.
"I'll leave you at home. I'll go talk to the captain."
Su Ying didn't believe that Gu Sinian, with his clumsy tongue, could persuade the captain.
"Are you sure you can convince the brigade leader to let the Bai family of five move to Willow Tree Village with just your words?"
Gu Sinian smiled awkwardly. When it comes to eloquence, no one can compare to Su Ying.
Even if she practiced for another ten years, she still couldn't catch up with her negotiation skills. It's just that this little girl isn't good at arguing. She learned her negotiation skills quite well from Old Master Su, at least she has mastered Old Master Su's ninth success.
He only had a 50% chance of succeeding if he negotiated with the captain himself, but it's a different story when the little girl comes to help; the matter is now in the bag.
Only after making sure his eldest sister was settled could he return to Beijing to continue his work with peace of mind.
The brigade leader, Sun Xuelin, is a good person and someone you can entrust with your life. With their help in looking after the eldest sister's family, things shouldn't be too difficult.
The Bai family's status is already set in stone and has nothing to do with overturning the verdict, let alone exonerating them. Only when the university resumes its operations will the Bai family have a glimmer of hope to return to Beijing and continue teaching.
However, the current situation does not allow for this, and there is no way for universities to return to normal for the time being.
But he believed that those in higher positions would soon realize that this chaotic situation wouldn't last forever.
Development requires talent.
They will not stand still.
"I don't usually talk to the captain much, but he seems like a pretty easy person to talk to."
Su Ying shook her head. "You can't judge a book by its cover. The captain may seem easy to talk to, but he won't bother with you if there's no benefit in it."
"He doesn't seem like such a mercenary person."
Su Ying rolled her eyes. "So what if the brigade leader is a little mercenary? He's focused on doing his job, and his starting point is always the villagers of Willow Tree Village."
"Knowing it was impossible to accomplish, he still lowered his noble head for the sake of the villagers of Liushu."
“Look how efficient he is. All the money-making tips I mentioned have come true. He never holds back. As long as it’s for the good of the villagers, he always puts on a smile and tries to get the commune to agree to his requests.”
Gu Sinian thought about it and realized it made sense; the captain seemed to be that kind of person.
"Do you think you can persuade someone like that? You need to show him a long-term plan."
Gu Sinian raised an eyebrow. "So you're saying there's a solution?"
Su Ying nodded. "That's right. I already have a way to get the brigade leader to ask the Bai family of five to settle down in Willow Tree Village and live in my newly built house. After all, they've only lived there for a few days, and I really wouldn't want to let them go if it weren't for my eldest sister."
"Only my eldest sister would care about every plant, every brick and tile in my new house. It's all my hard work."
Gu Sinian affectionately patted Su Ying's head, "Yes, yes, you're right. When we get to the Sun family battlefield, it's up to you to show your skills. But you have to promise me that you won't get angry, or you'll hurt the baby in your belly."
Su Ying waved her hand, looking quite helpless, "I know, I know, you're even more long-winded than my dad."
"After they found out I was pregnant, they kept sending me letters, telling me to take care of myself, and they even went to great lengths to buy me two sleeper tickets."
"They still used Yu Youtian's identity to buy another ticket, which is really strange. Why can't the Gu family members all take the soft sleeper back together?"
"Be careful what you say. The Gu family's return tickets have already been arranged. My father-in-law has done a very good job. Although he used Yu Youtian's identity, it's obvious to everyone that he's helping us."
"Oh, right. There's something else I heard from Sun Xuelin that I believe you'll find very interesting."
"What?"
"Gu Sihan finally did one thing right. Before he died, he proposed to divorce Yu Youtian, hoping that this identity would prevent her from being pointed at and gossiped about for the rest of her life."
Indeed, it is the 1960s now, and people's thinking is still very conservative. Although divorce is not a good thing, losing a husband is even worse and will affect Yu Youtian's future.
Even if she finds a suitable partner in the future, others will still use her identity to deliberately harm her because she lost her husband.
Although divorce doesn't have a good reputation, it's still much better than being a widow...
"At least he has a little bit of conscience."
"I heard that Gu Sihan wanted to see her one last time before he died? But he was refused."
Su Ying despised this kind of man the most; he only thought of breastfeeding after the child had died—too late.
Yutian doesn't seem like the kind of person who's decisive; on the contrary, she's a very kind woman.
Her despair didn't happen overnight.
When they plotted to frame him, they never considered extricating his wife, who had been with him for several years.
Instead, they watched her die without doing anything.
Why would you want to see a man like that?
So that he can die without regrets, he should remember what he owes others.
Even if I die, I will never be able to fulfill my wish.
That's the cruelest way to get revenge on a scumbag.
"Why bother seeing that scumbag and listening to his pointless nonsense?"
"He's almost gone, what's the point of saying so much? Will it make Youtian rich or live to be a hundred?"
Seeing that the little girl was really angry, Gu Sinian patted her back to calm her down, saying, "I only dared to tell you this because we agreed you wouldn't be angry."
"I don't even dare to take you to the brigade leader's place like this. What if the brigade leader doesn't agree to your request and gets angry with others?"
Could she possibly not handle such a small matter?
You underestimate her.
She already knew the captain's character perfectly well.
"Leave this to me. I have a way to let my eldest sister inherit my red brick house."
"It's a pity, I might not be able to stay in such a nice house this time when I go back to Beijing."
Su Ying's words made sense, so Gu Sinian chose to keep quiet.
After all, what she said made sense; houses in the city really couldn't compare to the houses designed by Su Ying.
First, the spaciousness is definitely incomparable. Second, housing is scarce in the city, and when a family lives together, the level of privacy is definitely incomparable.
What worries him most is that there will definitely be many conflicts between his wife and Ms. Li Yaxian living under the same roof.
Once he returns to Beijing and resumes his work, he needs to apply for a family housing unit as soon as possible so he can bring her to join him in the military. Otherwise, he can't bear to leave his wife at home to be bullied by Ms. Li Yaxian.
Besides, with her father-in-law, who dotes on her like crazy, Li Yaxian didn't dare to do anything.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. I'll arrange for you to join the army as soon as possible. You just need to be patient for a while. If you can't bear it, you can go back to the Qin family home. I have no objection."
“After all, I feel more at ease with you staying with the Qin family. They truly love you, but that might not be the case with the Gu family.”
"You seem to know quite a bit about the Gu family's situation."
"Of course, after all, they are my family. I know them better than you do. Apart from Grandpa and Grandma, who are truly right, there's also Sister Youtian and Sishi. I can't guarantee anything about the others."
