After the second branch of the Li family returned, they started making a scene and insisted on kicking Xie Ming out.
How could Li Liangcai agree to that? He already had more than one son. Why bring back such a troublesome son?
Not only did they spend money, but they also angered the two elderly people. Did they have a death wish?
Aunt Jin is also someone who dislikes having too many sons. Over the years, they've all grown up, and one by one they've received betrothal gifts and gotten married.
It has also tempered her temperament quite a bit; if she were a filial daughter, she would be more willing to accept it.
Having run into such a simpleton, and married a troublemaker, how could she be happy to bring him home? She's dreaming!
The two sides were locked in a standoff, and finally Li Guowei said he wanted to split up the family business.
Li Liangcai and Aunt Jin exchanged a glance and agreed, so they decided to separate the second son.
It wasn't appropriate for Xie Ming to continue observing the situation, as the symposium at the educated youth settlement was about to begin, so he took the opportunity to leave.
Li Guowei's unborn daughter was in a panic, because she knew clearly in her previous life that the Li family had never separated.
She was also born into the Li family, but her parents had to separate because of the dispute over which family her younger brother should take.
If her parents are going to separate now, will the accident from her past life happen earlier? And will she still be able to be born smoothly?
Xie Ming wanted to tell her: You're not going to be born, so just forget about it!
The symposium, the first of its kind in over a decade, was held with great seriousness. The educated youth brought out things they wouldn't normally eat or use, and decorated a large classroom in a very respectable manner.
Xie Ming didn't come empty-handed either; he brought some brown sugar and tea as a gesture of respect to Wang Weiguo.
After he arrived, Yang Jianjun pulled him over to sit down, and the people around him also greeted Xie Ming politely.
But the familiarity they used to have was clearly gone, indicating that they had something to say about his leaving the educated youth settlement.
Xie Ming never intended to stay in the countryside for long. He still had a job opening in Shanghai, so going back would be a piece of cake.
Previously, Xu Rongqing had tricked him into staying here and sharing joys and sorrows with Lu Meixin, but now, of course, he would return to the city as soon as the matter was resolved.
So what does it matter to him whether the people here are ostracizing him?
The symposium went quite well. Several older brothers and sisters spoke actively, and as they talked, they started crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down their faces. For more than ten years, they have been holding on to hope and struggling to keep going.
There were also performances by some of the younger educated youth in the middle of the show, which served as a kind of intermission.
Xu Rongqing, who had been dejected for the past few days, was now running around the classroom, showing great ability.
Several girls at the educated youth settlement would occasionally glance at him, but they would always make eye contact with Meng Laijun, that man, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xie Ming was also surprised that without his financial support, the two of them got together so quickly. Could it really be a case of "true love is revealed in times of trouble"?
Meng Laijun was originally a "little man" overflowing with "fatherly love".
Even though Xu Rongqing was busy, he was secretly keeping an eye on Xie Ming. Today was the perfect opportunity. He had just sent Zhu Meihong some medicated brown sugar water.
Once Xie Ming succeeds and the two of them get together, Zhu Meihong will be doomed.
The child in her womb must be Xie Ming's!
Seeing Xie Ming drink the brown sugar water, he estimated that it was about time to make his move.
"Xie Ming, there was a letter left in the house when you moved last time. I found it yesterday when I was moving the cabinets. Go get it yourself in the house later. I'll put it on the kang (heated brick bed)."
Whose is it?
“It’s from Lu Meixin, and you haven’t opened it.”
"real?"
A look of surprise flashed in Xie Ming's eyes.
"Yes, I saw it too." Yang Jianjun had also seen the letter that morning and thought there was nothing wrong with it.
"Then why didn't you bring it to me?"
Xie Ming deliberately asked Xu Rongqing.
"I didn't know you were coming. What if I lost you? Wouldn't you beat me up again?"
Xu Guoqing emphasized the word "beating someone," making it clear that Xie Ming was not a reasonable person.
"You're right, I'll go get it now."
Xie Ming rushed out of the classroom and ran back to their old dormitory.
Yang Jianjun stared at his retreating figure with a complicated expression, while Xu Rongqing, who had succeeded, smiled almost imperceptibly.
Xie Ming took the letter from the house and was then called over by Zhu Meihong, who was waiting on the side, to help her fix the door that wouldn't close.
Xu Rongqing, who had been keeping an eye on Zhu Meihong's room, was so excited when he saw the two of them enter the room together that he was almost trembling with excitement, completely ignoring Meng Laijun and the old educated youth Wang Weiguo who had disappeared for a long time.
He walked back and forth in the classroom, pouring tea for people, feeling as if a long time had passed and everything that should have happened there should have happened by now.
The lack of a woman's scream made him a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but leave the classroom and rush to Zhu Meihong's room.
As soon as he left the classroom, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and then lost consciousness.
Xie Ming put the three of them in the same room, and returned to the classroom with a happy smile on his face, holding the envelope.
Yang Jianjun tried to talk to him in an annoyed tone, hoping to clear his head. But Xie Ming was no ordinary person; he wasn't about to let him succeed.
The discussion continued as the two chatted until Chen Guizhi, a close friend of Zhu Meihong, stormed into the classroom with a pale face.
"Something's happened! Something's happened! Blood! Lots of blood!"
Hearing her scream, everyone thought she had killed someone and panicked.
Wang Weiguo was the first to stand up and lead a few of the bolder ones over, but they were immediately stopped by Chen Guizhi.
"I need a woman, I need a woman, quick!"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes and fainted. The whole classroom was in chaos, and it was only after Wang Weiguo directed and assigned people that things calmed down.
Xie Ming was naturally sent to find the captain; he was the most suitable person for this task.
