Fu Wan had actually considered selling some of her gold before, but the situation wasn't particularly good last year, and she was afraid that taking these things out would cause trouble.
But now that she's met Qin Fu and Master Ning, who are doing quite well in the capital, getting them to help sell some gold shouldn't be a problem.
The next day, Fu Wan spent half a day each at the cannery and the food factory.
Li Ruonan has returned to work. Fu Wan was curious about what happened next, so she called her over and asked her a few questions.
Li Ruonan is different now than she was a few days ago. The determination in her eyes is more obvious. When she mentions her parents, she no longer feels resentment, but rather indifference.
It seems like he's come to terms with it.
After Fu Wan left that day, Li Ruonan followed the crowd home.
Unsurprisingly, her small room at home was already piled with clutter, and her younger brother, Li Nan, was fast asleep.
Upon seeing Li Ruonan return, Li Nan wanted to hit her without saying a word, but Aunt Yang and the others followed behind, preventing the boy from succeeding.
Li Nan was much more talkative than Wang Meisong. Before anyone could ask, he started ranting and accusing Li Ruonan of reporting him to the school, causing him to be expelled.
It wasn't just accusations, but also offensive and offensive curses.
He cursed Li Ruonan, wishing her a terrible fate for not listening to her family and obediently getting married, and also cursed her for daring to rebel and question his university education.
Li Nan had at least a few years of schooling, but his words were even more vulgar than those of a hooligan. Not only did Li Ruonan frown, but even the aunties who came to watch the commotion couldn't listen to him.
Xu Dazui was the most impatient of them all. She was a native of the North, and when she stood up, her burly physique was twice the size of Li Nan, that weakling.
Seeing that the boy was babbling incoherently, Xu Dazui grabbed a rag from the windowsill of the Li family's house and stuffed it into Li Nan's mouth.
That was a multi-purpose rag belonging to the Li family, capable of wiping anywhere, and it was covered with a lot of dark, old grime.
The stench was so strong that Li Nan kept rolling his eyes.
Li Nan's furious reaction confirmed that he had impersonated someone else to gain admission to university.
The aunties who had been watching the commotion felt a surge of righteous indignation, so they stepped forward, tied Li Nan up, and took him to the police station in a grand procession.
For committing such a serious offense as taking someone else's place in university, he must be sent to a labor camp!
As for Li Dapeng, who had just eaten lunch at the factory and was plotting how to curry favor with Director Hu, he was also handcuffed and taken away by the police sent by County Chief Yang, all while being watched by the factory's residents.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. In just half a day, the entire factory heard that Li Dapeng had bribed staff at the Education Bureau and the Civil Affairs Department through relatives to change his son's name and take his daughter's place in university.
Everyone was amazed. Li Dapeng always boasted to his coworkers about his son who was going to university, but no one expected that this person's university spot was obtained in this way.
After Li Dapeng was arrested, Li Ruonan, with the help of an old man who managed the family compound, managed to separate her household registration.
Now, everyone in the Li family except her has been taken to the police station for investigation. The police officers have also told Li Ruonan that the sentence shouldn't be too long. Apart from the main culprit, Li Ruonan should only be detained for a maximum of two days before returning home.
Li Ruonan didn't care about that. She packed her things quickly and then returned to the cannery that night.
Actually, there wasn't much, just a few pieces of clothing covered in patches, and some notes she had made herself.
Her notes were the most important thing; she didn't need anything else.
Once inside the cannery, with security personnel on guard, Li Ruonan wasn't afraid that Li Nan and the others would come in looking for her, even if they came out.
Fu Wan admired Li Ruonan for being able to handle her own affairs so quickly and decisively move her household registration out separately.
She wasn't wrong; Li Ruonan was determined and decisive.
After saying this, Li Ruonan knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Fu Wan. Fu Wan couldn't stop her; this girl was quite stubborn.
If it weren't for Fu Wan, Li Ruonan would probably be a ghost by now, let alone have any hope of continuing her university studies.
With Li Ruonan's matter resolved perfectly, Fu Wan stopped keeping an eye on it.
Time flew by, and the day of departure arrived. Fu Wan took Fang Min, Fu Ming, and Ye Lin with her this time. Fu Ming had also bought land, so he had to go along to take a look.
Fang Min was responsible for Fu Wan's safety. As for Ye Lin, he had mentioned to Fu Wan that he wanted to buy a house. Since she was going to Shanghai anyway, Fu Wan decided to take him out to broaden his horizons.
With Wang Jianmin and a few others overseeing the food factory and cannery, Fu Wan wasn't worried.
Before setting off, Ye Xiaocui prepared a large bag of steamed buns for Fu Wan as usual. These buns keep longer than regular steamed buns, and with some fish chili sauce and canned fish, they can last for several meals.
Fu Wan could have bought boxed meals on the train; although the taste wasn't great, they were convenient.
But since the steamed buns represented Ye Xiaocui's feelings, Fu Wan didn't refuse and took them onto the train.
After spending a day on the train, night fell, and with a shout from the train conductor, we arrived in Shanghai.
Although it had only been less than a month since her last visit to Shanghai, Fu Wan already seemed quite familiar with the place.
The three of them chose to stay at the same hotel as before. Coincidentally, the person on duty at the front desk today was Zhong Xiaoxue, who had worked as a temporary worker for Fu Wan.
"Comrades, welcome! Are you looking for accommodation?"
Zhong Xiaoxue smiled politely. Ye Lin was walking in front, and she didn't see Fu Wan and the others behind him.
"Comrade Xiaoxue!"
Fu Wan greeted her, and Zhong Xiaoxue recognized the voice and looked over in surprise.
Upon seeing Fu Wan and Fang Min's familiar faces, Zhong Xiaoxue exclaimed in surprise.
"Sister Fu Wan! Sister Fang Min!"
"And I'm here too!"
"Oh, Comrade Fu Ming!"
"Why did you come all this way? You must be exhausted. Please have a seat and let me get you some water!"
Zhong Xiaoxue was incredibly excited. She was a considerate girl, and just by looking at Fu Wan and the others, she knew they had just gotten off the train.
Next to the reception desk is a small hall, which is a lobby for guests to rest.
Fu Wan and the others were indeed tired, so they simply sat down.
"I haven't heard of any trade fairs being held in Shanghai lately, Sister Fu Wan, what brings you here?"
After Zhong Xiaoxue brought over the water, she asked curiously. Fu Wan took a sip of the water and wondered where the girl had learned to put sugar in the water.
It's sweet and a little chilled; it's really delicious.
"We're here to take care of some business, not to participate in the trade fair."
Comrade Xiaoxue, how have you been lately?
When Fu Wan asked her the question, Zhong Xiaoxue smiled brightly.
"I'm fine! Thanks to Sister Fu Wan for giving me the opportunity to make money last time."
I used the money to enroll in night school to study accounting and registered for the accounting qualification exam. I'll be taking the exam in two weeks!
