Chapter 127 Is making money as easy as picking leaves?
The next day, Su Wan met Zhao Qingci's husband Harman.
He was a very gentlemanly and charming middle-aged man. He was even three years younger than Zhao Qingci. The two were in an older-younger-man relationship, but when they stood together, they looked so well-matched.
Zhao Qingci generously introduced her husband. Harman first called Zhao Qingci "Grandma Zhao, mother" in Chinese, and then expressed his gratitude to Su Wan.
He spoke in a gentle and carefree manner, without any airs at all, and I enjoyed the meal very much.
Harman came and Su Wan was about to leave.
After dinner, she told Grandma Zhao and others that she had something to do and had to go back to Jiangsu Province.
Zhao Qingci did not try to keep her, but just left her his phone number in Pengcheng, and reminded her to be careful. He even asked Zhao Qian to buy her a lot of Pengcheng specialties, including more than a dozen boxes of chocolates made by Harman and some foreign candies and biscuits.
Su Wan was sent to the car by them and went back to Grandma Zhao's house first.
Su Jianguo had already bought all the goods for this period of time. After picking up Su Wan, the two of them divided the money and then bought train tickets back to Su Province.
The two took a train for nearly twenty hours to reach Su Province, and then changed trains to the village.
By the time we got home, it was already past ten in the morning.
As soon as I arrived in the village with bags in my hands, I was surrounded by many people and greeted.
"Jianguo and Wanwan are back!"
"The clothes are getting better and better. You can tell at a glance that he made a fortune in the city."
"Of course not. Everyone in the village has been saying that they've made a lot of money out there. Now they're calling everyone out to make money out there. Last year, that group of people made thousands of yuan in one go. It seems like they've really made a fortune out there."
"Founding a nation..."
Some aunts pulled Su Jianguo aside and asked gossipingly, "They all say that you and your sister have made a fortune out there. Is that true? Is making money out there as easy as picking leaves as they say on TV?"
"Auntie, making money outside is definitely not as easy as picking leaves. It's just that there are more opportunities."
Su Jianguo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and was dragged into answering many questions from the aunts.
When the aunts heard that there was really money to be made, their eyes rolled around and they asked, "Jianguo, you brothers are still unmarried, how about I introduce you to some?"
Hearing this, Su Jianguo quickly waved his hands and said, "Thank you, auntie. I have no plans to get married yet."
"You brothers are already grown up, how can you stay single? Don't be shy. I've been through this before and will definitely find you a good girl who is frugal and manages the household well."
The aunt spoke politely, but the other aunts pushed her over and spoke rudely with a smile.
"Jianguo, my aunt's niece is so pretty, she's still a high school student. See if you two can get along well. I'll help you two get together later."
"Jianguo, my aunt's niece is even more beautiful. There's no girl more outstanding than her in the surrounding villages. Let me tell you, not only is she beautiful, she's also incredibly hardworking and dedicated. If you marry her, your life will be much easier!"
Seeing that the aunts were about to surround his second brother, Su Wan had no choice but to cough.
Then she interrupted the aunts loudly, "Aunts, my second brother and I took a nearly 20-hour train ride and another hour's bus ride to the village. Let's go home and rest for a while. There's no need to rush about getting married. My second brother has a girl he likes in the city."
When the aunts heard that Su Jianguo had a girl he liked, they suddenly became like deflated balls and left one after another.
Some still refused to give up and said, "Jianguo, I won't lie to you. Those girls in the city are so delicate and weak. They cry out in pain when giving birth. They are nothing like us rural girls who can endure hardships. If you really find a girl from the city, you will regret it many days in the future!"
The other aunts also agreed, "That's not right. Isn't the girl from Dazhuang's family from the city? She's such a delicate girl. She even refuses to work in the fields. Every time she returns to her husband's house, she just stays in her room. She doesn't want to stay there at night and insists on staying in the city. She's not as sensible as us country girls..."
It was unclear whether the aunts were talking to themselves or to others, but as they walked, others were also talking about things happening around them.
Su Jianguo finally broke free from the aunts' encirclement and looked at Su Wan with a mixture of laughter and tears.
"Little sister, what makes you say I have a girl I like in the city?"
"If I hadn't said that just now, the aunts would have dragged you home to be Jackie Chan's son-in-law."
"It's not that exaggerated. The aunts have watched me grow up, and they just mean well."
The people of Datong are simple and honest. Of course there are some bad ones, but they are very few.
In most cases, everyone helps each other, and no major incidents have occurred in decades.
When she returned home, Su Wan discovered that her parents were not at home.
After a walk around, she returned to her mother-in-law's house. Her parents-in-law were not at home either. She looked around curiously. Why were they not at home?
"Mom and Dad are not home, let's go back to the room and rest for a while."
Su Jianguo was tired, so he simply went back to his room to rest.
Su Wan didn't object. She took the key, opened the door of her room, and went in to sleep.
Just as she lay down, a sound came from outside.
Her parents are back.
"Is Wanwan back?"
Zheng Aifang's voice rang out, and Su Wan could hear it from a distance, and immediately got up from the bed.
When she opened the door, she saw her parents and parents-in-law standing outside, carrying a lot of things in their hands.
"Mom and Dad, and my parents-in-law."
Su Wan called out, and both parents responded.
"Wanwan, why didn't you tell me you were back? If I had known you were coming back, I wouldn't have gone out."
Zheng Aifang looked at Su Wan's face, which had become much thinner, and felt distressed. "Why have you lost so much weight again? Didn't I tell you not to lose weight?"
"I'm not losing weight. I usually eat two bowls of rice at a meal. Maybe I've lost a little weight because I've been running around lately."
"No matter what, you have to take care of your health." Li Cuihua looked at her daughter-in-law and said with concern.
"I understand, mother-in-law. I will take care of myself." Su Wan replied with a smile, and then said, "Before the New Year, I went to the Army Academy in Heilongjiang Province to see Chen Yuan. He is doing well there and will graduate successfully in a while."
"He's not in any trouble at the Army Academy. But you, a girl, must be careful when traveling around. Don't take illegal taxis to save money."
Li Cuihua also heard from others that some girls took illegal taxis to save money, and were eventually deceived and sold in the mountainous areas of Yunnan Province.
She was also worried that Su Wan would take illegal taxis to save money while traveling outside, so she couldn't help but remind him, "There's no shortage of money at home. You don't have to keep sending money home. Spend more on yourself."
