Chapter 51 51 Are you moving out?
Seeing her happy smile, Lu Liangjun was a little puzzled: "Why, did you run into someone you know?"
"I guess so. Ji Yushu and his current wife are also in the hospital. His wife is trying to protect the fetus." When she mentioned the word "protect the fetus", Qiu Shaoli couldn't help but frown. She didn't expect that he was almost forty years old and still wanted to have a child. It goes without saying that it was for a son.
Lu Liangjun was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's nothing. When you start working, you'll probably meet more acquaintances."
"Do you know why his wife came to protect the fetus? His wife also brought her cousin from the countryside, and she ended up having an affair with Ji Lao San, and was brought to the hospital by Yao Yan. It's really hilarious." Qiu Shaoli said with a look of gloating on her face.
"Marry a virtuous wife. Marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations." After saying this, Lu Liangjun couldn't help but look at Qiu Shaoli with emotion, feeling lucky that he married a good wife.
"If his family had this awareness, this wouldn't have happened. Let's go and take a look over there first." Qiu Shaoli didn't forget the purpose of her coming to the hospital today.
"Well, I just seemed to see Lin Wenkang, but he probably didn't see me." To be honest, Lu Liangjun was not interested in these trivial matters, but they all grew up in the same courtyard, so they couldn't be strangers when they met in the future.
"If he had any shame, he wouldn't have come to us." Qiu Shaoli said in a cold tone. She and Lin Wenkang could be considered colleagues, so contact in the future was inevitable, but not at other times.
"If he had any dignity, he wouldn't have come to Yuncheng." Lu Liangxu felt that she still didn't understand Lin Wenkang very well. He had been determined to come to Yuncheng this time. Wasn't it just to win back Jiang Yulan? He was a man who would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"That's right. Just ignore him. Your current identity is sensitive. We should have less contact with his mother and people like him." Qiu Shaoli warned.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go. We'll go there later." Lu Liangjun reminded.
"No rush. I have to familiarize myself with the winding floors here, so as not to be embarrassed when I come to report the day after tomorrow and not know the way." Qiu Shaoli said as she memorized the way in her mind. It's not her fault. She has a bad sense of direction, so she has to familiarize herself with the way in advance.
In the obstetrics and gynecology department, Ye Qiuju held her belly, which had not yet shown, and was full of nervousness: "Doctor, is the baby in my belly okay?" After a night, Ye Qiuju felt that her stomach was not as painful, but she was still a little worried, because this was her support for the rest of her life.
"There are some signs of threatened miscarriage at the moment." The doctor said in a serious tone.
"Yao Yan, if anything happens to the baby in my belly, I will fight you to the death." Ye Qiuju looked at Yao Yan with hatred.
Yao Yan's arm had been bandaged. After a night, the wound stopped bleeding, but it still hurt when she moved a little. Hearing her words, she couldn't help but sneer: "Blame your good sister if you want to blame someone. If she hadn't deliberately tripped me, none of this would have happened."
Song Zhenzhen didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, and quickly denied it: "Sister, I didn't do that. She just wanted to hurt you on purpose."
"If you say there is no such thing, then there is no such thing?" Yao Yan couldn't help but sneer when she heard that.
It was so chaotic that no one could see Song Zhenzhen's movements clearly. Chen Guilan couldn't help but pat the table next to her and said, "Alright, I didn't ask you to come to the hospital to quarrel. I asked you to come and take care of her."
"I took care of her? The baby in her belly wasn't mine. And you, you said you didn't stretch your foot. Then let's report it to the police. The police now have many investigative methods. Just by looking at the place where a person fell and the wound, they can tell whether he fell by himself or was tripped by someone." Yao Yan was not idle last night. She knew that they would make a big fuss about this matter, so she went to the police station to inquire about it.
As expected, Song Zhenzhen's face turned pale as soon as these words came out. Yao Yan snorted coldly. As expected, he was from the countryside and was very timid. She took the opportunity to make a fuss: "What exactly is going on now? Do you need to ask again? The nurse had to sew two stitches on the wound on my hand yesterday. You need to pay me for the lost wages, otherwise we will see you at the police station."
"Brother Ji?" Song Zhenzhen looked at Ji Yumo in panic, seeking his help.
"Yao Yan, don't go too far. It's just two stitches. Aren't you fine now?" Ji Yumo looked at her with some dissatisfaction, thinking that she was looking for trouble.
"Okay, then let your Zhenzhen get two stitches before you talk to me." After saying that, Yao Yan turned around and left. She had her and Ji Yumo's ID cards in her pocket. While their whole family was in the hospital, she went to the business office to see if she could withdraw all the money first. After the money was withdrawn, she would settle the accounts with them.
After Yao Yan left, Chen Guilan glanced at Ye Qiuju unhappily and said, "You are the one who caused all this trouble. If anything happens to the child in your belly, you should divorce the second child as soon as possible."
"Mom, didn't the doctor say it's nothing serious?" Ye Qiuju suppressed her displeasure.
"It's better this way. You all behave yourself during this period of time, and I will go and talk to Yao Yan. Got it?" There have been too many scandals in the family recently, and this matter must not be spread out, so Yao Yan must be appeased first.
"I know." Ji Yushu responded a little irritably. He seemed to have looked at Qiu Shaoli just now. It would be better if he was mistaken.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ye Qiuju glanced at him cautiously: "Brother Ji, I'm fine here. You can go set up the stall. Zhenzhen will take care of me here. Mingyue will bring us food later."
"You two should behave yourself and stop causing me any more trouble?" Ji Yushu glanced at the two of them as a warning, then gave Ji Yumo a look, asking him to follow him out.
After leaving the hospital, Ji Yumo couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, what happened?"
"What are your plans?" Ji Yushu asked.
"What's your plan?" Ji Yumo was a little confused.
"How do you plan to solve this problem?" Ji Yushu gave him a displeased look.
"Divorce, divorce Yao Yan." Since they have already broken up, then just get a divorce. Anyway, all the money in the family is with him, so Yao Qiang can just not return the thousand yuan.
"Do you think Yao Yan will be happy that you don't want your job and your reputation anymore?" Ji Yushu realized for the first time that he was so brainless, and was sad that he had been controlled by Yao Yan for so many years.
"Then second brother, what do you think I should do?" Ji Yumo had never thought about this problem.
"Let's get rid of Song Zhenzhen first and calm Yao Yan down. We can make other plans after this is over. Otherwise, with Yao Yan's temper, how can our family have a good life?" Ji Yushu's tone was full of impatience. He didn't expect that he would have to clean up their mess.
Ji Yumo hesitated. What could he do if he couldn't bear to send Song Zhenzhen away? Seeing him like this, Ji Yushu was even more disappointed: "Can't you just coax her first and let her wait for a while?"
"Yes, I know what to do. Thank you, second brother." Ji Yumo immediately became happy.
"Okay, this matter needs to be handled properly, otherwise your sister-in-law and I will be unable to live as human beings." It was mainly because of the relationship between Ye Qiuju and Song Zhenzhen, otherwise he would not have meddled in other people's business. However, what the two did not know was that this matter was spreading everywhere at an alarming speed.
*
Jiang Lili hadn't expected that she'd hear gossip about the Ji family just because she'd come to Factory One to see Director Yang. She looked at Lu Jiaze beside her uncertainly, "They're probably talking about Ji Yushu's family, right?"
Divorced, with an older daughter, working in an iron factory, and currently selling tapes at a stall—all this information came from those people, so Lu Jiaze nodded and said, "I think it's him. There shouldn't be anyone more suitable than him in the short term."
"So what they mean is that Ji Mingyue's cousin followed them to Yuncheng, and is now having an affair with Third Uncle. She was beaten up by Third Aunt, and is now in the hospital to protect the fetus." Jiang Lili thought, it's worthy of being a drama world, such a dramatic plot can appear.
"This is the current situation. Should we go in?" Lu Jiaze said as he glanced at the watch on his wrist. They had been standing here listening for ten minutes.
Jiang Lili gave him a sheepish smile. "I made an appointment with Director Yang at 10:30, and it's only 10 o'clock now." She really didn't mean it. "Then let's find a place to sit for a while." They still had half an hour to kill.
"You go ahead, I'll stay here for a while." Jiang Lili said as she moved closer to the aunts who were chatting over there. Seeing this, Lu Jiaze laughed in silence, and then he went to find a place to sit nearby.
Half an hour was neither long nor short. The conversation among the aunts had already shifted to other people. Jiang Lili finally walked towards Lu Jiaze, still unsatisfied. "Let's go. Let's go to the factory and wait for Director Yang. The guard should know me."
"So you didn't go in for a long time just to listen to what those aunts said?" Lu Jiaze couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I am happy when I see that they are not doing well." Jiang Lili nodded and admitted generously.
Lu Jiaze thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. Besides, the culprit was Ji Yushu, so it was only natural for her to hold a grudge against him. So he nodded and said, "You have a point. Let's go. Director Yang will probably be here soon."
"Yeah." Jiang Lili nodded. In addition to telling Director Yang and Manager Zhang's contact information, she also wanted to discuss the matter of hidden funds with her.
When they successfully entered the factory, they found out that Director Yang had been waiting for them in the office. Jiang Lili was a little surprised. Well, it was her fault. The gossip was too attractive and she wasted half an hour.
"Lili, you're here?" Director Yang looked at Jiang Lili as if she were his savior.
"Yes, this is my classmate Lu Jiaze. It is thanks to his help that I was able to contact Manager Zhang in Jincheng this time." Jiang Lili introduced them to each other.
"Thank you, Xiao Lu, thank you so much." If we can successfully open up the market in Jincheng, this wave can save many people's jobs.
"I didn't do anything. The specific cooperation still needs to be discussed between you and Manager Zhang." Lu Jiaze smiled a little distantly.
"I'd be very grateful if you could help connect us." Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to contact the other side on their own.
"Director Yang, have you been working overtime making dolls recently? Haven't you made any hidden models yet?" Jiang Lili asked.
"Yes, sales are good everywhere now. We are working overtime to produce the regular models. If you want to exchange for the hidden models, it will cost almost two hundred yuan. Few people should spend this money." Director Yang explained.
"What if someone comes to exchange it right away, but you can't produce it, or even a sample? What do you think they will think?" Jiang Lili asked back.
"This?" Factory Director Yang was momentarily speechless. The costume dolls were currently the most expensive toys their toy factory had sold in years, so they subconsciously assumed no one would spend so much. But as she'd said, what if? He quickly nodded, "I'll have someone make the patterns and produce a batch right away."
"Many of my classmates have bought cross-dressing dolls. They are all very curious about what the hidden version looks like, but because they have never seen the real thing, they even suspect that it is just a gimmick. So my suggestion is to display a set at each sales point after the dolls are produced. In addition to telling them that the activity is real and effective, more importantly, it can attract more customers. Of course, the premise is that this hidden version needs to be made very exquisitely." Jiang Lili gave her own opinion.
"You have a point, but regarding the question of refinement, we'll show it to you after we make the pattern." Director Yang had already written down everything Jiang Lili had just said in the small notebook in his hand. The only thing that made him feel undecided was the degree of refinement she mentioned.
"Of course, but my aesthetic taste cannot represent that of others." Jiang Lili stated in advance.
"That's better than the people in our factory. It turns out that no matter what we do, we need fresh blood injected into it." Director Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually, everyone has done a good job with the dress styles. I think the hidden style should just highlight the word 'gorgeous'." Jiang Lili said and explained to her her understanding of gorgeous.
"Okay, then let's send the purchasing department to take a look at those sequins and artificial pearls first." Director Yang nodded when he heard this, indicating that he had an idea in mind.
"If there's nothing else, we'll go back first." Jiang Lili said and waved goodbye to Director Yang.
"No, it's almost noon. Have lunch before going back. I feel bad for you for making such a special trip and not even having a sip of water." Director Yang wanted to invite the two of them to have lunch together.
"Director Yang, let's do it next time. We still have homework to do when we get back. There is a lot of homework this week." Jiang Lili told a beautiful lie.
"Look at me, I've forgotten you're still students. Okay, let's have dinner together next time when we're free." Seeing that she even brought up her homework, Director Yang didn't dare to keep her any longer, for fear of delaying their homework.
"Okay." Jiang Lili nodded with a smile.
The two of them came out of the factory. Lu Jiaze turned his head to look at the person next to him. Thinking of how she was talking so eloquently just now and how she smiled and rejected Director Yang's invitation to lunch, he once again felt the gap between them. If it were him who happened today, he probably wouldn't have answered half as well as she did, right?
Noticing his gaze lingering on her, Jiang Lili couldn't help but look up at him: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, Jiang Lili, you are so good now." So good that he was always worried that he could not catch up with her.
"Really?" Jiang Lili shrugged. She didn't think she was that great, but Lu Jiaze, with all those connections, would be wasted if he didn't do anything. However, Lu Liangjun's status was sensitive, and as a relative, it seemed best for him to do nothing.
"Of course." She herself might not know that when she made the suggestion to Director Yang just now, her whole body seemed to be glowing.
"Okay, I accept your compliment, but Master Lu, let me remind you that we really have to go back quickly, so as not to miss dinner." Jiang Lili sighed after she finished speaking. They really had to do their homework in the afternoon.
"Yeah, I'll just ride faster later." Lu Jiaze said, then looked over. It was indeed very close to lunchtime, but he quickly realized something: "Do Uncle Jiang and the others know I'm going to lunch?"
"I know. Don't worry. Your parents must be very busy today. They all know about it." Jiang Lili said as she jumped into the back seat, indicating that he could start the journey.
"That's good." Lu Jiaze felt relieved.
It was almost noon, and the wind at this time had lost its morning chill, and it felt very comfortable blowing on people. Jiang Lili thought that she had done everything she should and could do. Next, it depended on how Director Yang talked with the other side. If the talks went well, everyone would be happy, but if they didn't, there was nothing that could be done about it.
"Do you value this toy very much?" Lu Jiaze felt her importance from the very beginning.
"About that. This opportunity is very important to me." If the sales of the cross-dressing dolls can reach a point that Factory One couldn't reach before, then this will become her bargaining chip in future negotiations, whether she wants to cooperate with others or continue to cooperate with Factory One.
"Manager Zhang should be easy to talk to. I think Director Yang is also good at talking. This should be a promising thing." After saying this, Lu Jiaze couldn't help but feel confused. His dream of becoming a pilot seemed to be shaken.
"I hope so. If it works out, it works out. If not, forget it." She will have to think about her submission story when she gets home. In addition to communicating over the phone, she also plans to communicate with the publishing house by letter. Sometimes written communication can be more comprehensive.
"You can do it, you have to believe in yourself." Lu Jiaze was quite confident.
Jiang Lili couldn't help but raise her lips, then nodded: "Okay, I also think it will succeed."
When they returned, their family was indeed waiting for them to have dinner. Seeing them return, Zhou Qingfen hurried to the kitchen to cook. Jiang Aiguo directed Jiang Qitong to pour water for the two of them while asking, "How was the talk?"
"The talk with Director Yang went quite well, but I don't know if he can reach an agreement with Jincheng." Jiang Lili spread her hands towards her.
"I didn't see similar toys when I went to Jincheng last time. I think this should be promising. The transportation in Jincheng is more developed, and it would be even better if it could attract people from other places to come to our factory to get goods." Jiang Aiguo said as he handed them the water cup.
"This is ideal, but in reality, once the cross-dressing dolls attract attention in the market, people will follow suit. Those people will choose to buy the goods nearby, but they will not recognize the manufacturer who produced them first." The copyright awareness of Chinese people has always been low, and this is almost zero.
"That makes sense." Jiang Aiguo thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Then wouldn't it be better for Sister Lili to keep making new toys?" Jiang Qitong came over with the costume doll while speaking, and played with it for a while whenever she had the chance.
"It's easier said than done. It would kill so many of my brain cells." Jiang Lili feels that quality is the most important thing. Only by controlling the quality can we retain customers.
"Let them rest if they are tired. Sister Lili, look, I have done a new hairstyle for her." Jiang Qitong picked up her doll and showed off her new hairstyle to her.
"It looks good." Jiang Lili said perfunctorily. It just occurred to her that the hidden version of the doll's hair could be a different color? Maybe rainbow hair? Forget it, she'd better wait for Director Yang and the others to make the pattern and see the result.
"Isn't my mother coming back for lunch today?" Jiang Lili was a little surprised. Usually on Saturdays she would come back for lunch after going to night school.
"He won't be back today. He said he had an appointment with Huang Yi." As soon as Jiang Jianyi finished speaking, Zhou Qingfen put the last plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table and asked them to eat first.
"Oh, I see." Jiang Lili felt that Jiang Yulan had been going out more and more frequently recently. She seemed to be hiding something from her. It seemed that they needed to have a good chat in the evening.
"Sister Lili, do you guys have to do your homework this afternoon?" Jiang Qitong asked this question feeling a little guilty. The two of them went to the toy factory in the morning, and she only did a little homework at home by herself.
"Write. Have you finished writing this morning?" Jiang Lili asked casually.
"Not yet. Then we can do homework together again." Jiang Qitong expressed her happiness that someone would help her with homework.
"After you left in the morning, she was drawing on the draft paper by herself." Zhou Qingfen said and gave her a displeased look.
Jiang Lili curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile, "Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely supervise her homework for you this afternoon."
The family laughed and chatted as they ate. Afterward, the three of them began to do their homework. After two hours, Jiang Qitong stood up to stretch her muscles, then happily packed her schoolbag. "Sister Lili, Brother Lu, I'm done. How about you?"
"Almost done." Jiang Lili glanced at the homework book next to her and found that she had finished her English homework.
"Then after we finish writing, let's go downstairs and jump rope together, okay?" The three of them didn't need anyone else, they could just play by themselves.
Jiang Lili suppressed her smile and said, "It's fine with me. Ask your brother Lu if it's okay."
Without waiting for Jiang Qitong to ask him, Lu Jiaze said directly: "I can stretch the rubber band for you, forget about the rest."
"Great, then Sister Lili and I will take turns dancing." The little girl quickly became happy. Just as they were about to go downstairs, Lu Liangjun and his wife came to visit. Lu Jiaze looked up at them, a little puzzled: "Didn't you say you would be back in the evening?"
"It's almost five o'clock now. It's about time. We can go and see what's missing in the house over there. We can take this opportunity to buy some more." Qiu Shaoli explained to her.
"Do you agree to let me live alone?" Lu Jiaze was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would have to convince them, but he didn't expect them to agree directly.
"Well, I think what you said makes sense." Qiu Shaoli was a little worried at first, but Lu Liangjun said that boys still need to be tempered. There is nothing wrong with being alone, and he is surrounded by old neighbors he knows.
Jiang Lili looked at Lu Jiaze in surprise and asked, "Are you moving out?"
