Chapter 169 Some Bad Things in Wangjia Village
The woman agreed readily.
She didn't even think about raising the price. Maybe for her, it didn't matter what she did with the rented shop, because forty yuan a month was already very high. After all, there were few self-employed people at that time, and normally a house like this could only get eight or ten yuan in rent. Even the shop next door only charged thirty yuan a month. She proposed this price because she saw that the girl in front of her was not short of money.
Su Wan did not refute. After all, she would make money if she signed a ten-year contract.
After the two signed the contract, Su Wanxian gave her 480 yuan and rented the store to her.
When Su Wan got the contract, he also took the keys.
He drove back home quickly. Seeing that she was the only one back, everyone at home was curious. Knowing that he had gone to visit his comrade's house for something, they didn't ask any more questions.
They obviously knew that Chen Yuan would visit his comrades' children every time.
That comrade died while they were on a mission, and they all felt guilty about it, which was as they should.
Su Wan nodded. "He'll be back when he's done. I have some things to take care of, too."
She originally wanted to come back and rest, but because of the Wang family's affairs, she still had to run back and forth.
Seeing Su Wan said something was wrong, no one at home said anything.
What can they say?
After all, their children are well-intentioned, and they won't be able to have a good vacation until those issues in the village are resolved.
Thinking of this, Zheng Aifang couldn't help but say, "I don't know what's going on in the world these days. It's getting harder and harder to be a good person. We can't even take care of the children of martyrs. I could actually find someone to help with the relationship and speak to the higher-ups."
Of course Su Wan also knew this, but who has the time to keep watching?
There are elderly people and children at home, and there won’t be someone to help all the time. In the final analysis, they have to take care of it themselves.
Sitting at home for dinner, Su Wan quickly told her mother about the Wang family and also mentioned that she wanted to help them open a store.
Zheng Aifang did not say that her daughter was reckless. She always supported her daughter's decisions. After knowing about the Wang family's affairs, she also felt that those people were bullying.
After thinking for a while, she said, "If you think it's okay, then do it. When Mom has time to go to the provincial capital, she will go to help look after their family."
"Mom, you're so kind!"
"Actually, I know about the incident in the royal city. He's an exceptionally talented kid. If it weren't for that incident, he would have been a very fast-rising young officer. His wife is also..."
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Zheng Aifang didn't continue.
Seeing that her mother's words were full of hidden meaning, Su Wan asked curiously, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing special, I just feel it's a little hard. How are the old and young supposed to get by?"
Zheng Aifang changed the subject, but Su Wan knew in her heart that there was another meaning behind her mother's words.
She wanted to ask, but Zheng Aifang obviously didn't want to continue.
After a long while, she nodded in agreement, "I always feel that after the Wang family incident, their life has been very difficult, as if someone did it on purpose."
Seeing her daughter say this, Zheng Aifang also spoke up, "You've sensed it too, right? I also feel like someone is deliberately messing with their family. You said we're all from the same village. Wangjia Village suffered a disaster two years ago and is even poorer. Those people don't want to make money. They're all lazy. Half the people in the village like to gamble. How can a village like that become prosperous?"
"Do the people in that village like to gamble?"
Su Wan seemed to have grasped the key point and asked her mother.
Zheng Aifang hummed, "Gambling is rampant in their village. The whole village has a bad atmosphere. When we went to pay grain before, they were the ones who liked to argue the most, and the grain they gave us wasn't very good."
After that, Zheng Aifang added, "Wanwan, you were right to let them open a restaurant in the city. Mom is frank. With two elderly people like them raising a child, the girls will easily be bullied by those dishonest people in the village."
Perhaps because Su Wan was married, Zheng Aifang was not too subtle when she spoke.
Su Wan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zheng Aifang patted the back of her hand and said, "Everyone is used to this kind of thing. Don't be fooled by how serious those people appear on the surface. You never know what they are like behind the scenes. Wangjia Village had a scandal like this before, and it was even spread by their own village."
"Don't the police care?"
"Why would the police care?" Zheng Aifang sighed. "The girl's parents didn't even report it, so how could they possibly do anything? In the end, they just spent a little money to settle the matter."
Hearing this, Su Wan felt a chill all over his body.
Thinking about Aunt Wang's hesitation today, she must have something to hide. She must be worried about this, right?
"As I recall, there's a crime of hooliganism now, right?"
"So what if he's charged with hooliganism? The incident has already happened. Even if he's arrested and shot, the person is already in trouble. What more can be done?"
Zheng Aifang saw that her daughter looked unhappy and consoled her, "Don't worry, those people don't have the guts to do that. You are my daughter, and anyone who dares to bully you will have to think twice before doing so."
It’s no wonder that people in rural areas have always liked to have sons. To some extent, families with sons will not be bullied.
This idea is deeply rooted. From ancient times to the 1980s, and even into the 21st century, people who hold this idea still constitute the majority.
Of course, having a son does not mean favoring boys over girls. For example, Su Wan's family treats both sons and daughters equally, which is not common in the village. Therefore, when those people bully others, they will also find out whether the girl can be bullied by them.
Children like Su Wan who are pampered are well-known in the surrounding area, and no one dares to bully them like this.
After all, even the bad guys will pick on the weak.
Su Wan smiled and hugged her mother's arm, "I knew that mom was the best to me."
"You are your parents' treasure. If they don't treat you well, who will they treat well?"
Zheng Aifang patted her daughter's arm and asked with a smile, "Are you still going to Wangjia Village later?"
"I'll go over there tomorrow. He should be taking care of things over there today. I'll go pick them up and take them to the provincial capital tomorrow. I've already rented a house for them."
"You have your own ideas. Mom is not worried. But you should be careful when you go to Wangjia Village. Those people are very evil. If they see a girl like you driving such a nice car, I'm afraid they will have other ideas."
