Chapter 29: Swearing to Stay Away from the Virgin Mother (5)
Sun Ying was only thinking about her future happy life and didn't notice anything unusual at the dinner table.
"Eat, why don't you eat?" Sun Ying brought the rice and called the people at the table to eat.
After she finished shouting, she realized that no one except her had picked up their chopsticks. Only then did she notice Li Zheng's gloomy expression.
"Pah,"
Li Zheng put the chopsticks on the table with a frighteningly gloomy expression.
Seeing this, Mu Yan spoke to comfort him, "Uncle, even if Liu Ren comes back, he won't dare to do anything. Don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."
Li Zheng's expression didn't soften at all, and instead became even gloomier when he heard Liu Ren's name.
"Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is not suitable for the work in the tofu shop. She will not go there starting tomorrow."
Liu Lan wanted to fight for Sun Ying, "Brother, even if Liu Ren comes back, what's the use? Are you going to lock my sister-in-law up at home forever? If he dares to do something stupid again, send him back to jail."
Muyan was secretly happy. It was the first time she felt that Liu Lan's abnormal brain circuit was so useful. If you can talk, just say more.
"Brother, we don't have to be afraid of that villain Liu Ren. What happened before was his fault and has nothing to do with sister-in-law," Liu Lan saw that Li Zheng didn't say anything and thought there was hope, so she continued.
Li Zheng's hands were under the table, shaking with anger. Everyone said that Sun Ying was forced and Liu Ren was also sentenced, but only he knew that Sun Ying was not forced.
He had discovered clues half a year ago, but didn't think much of it at the time. After the incident, he thought about it and figured out what was going on.
Li Zheng stood up and said in a cold voice, "I said you are not allowed to go," and then he returned to his room in anger.
Liu Lan felt frustrated and turned around to comfort Sun Ying, only to see her trembling slightly. She thought she was frightened by hearing that Liu Ren had returned, so she patiently comforted her.
Mu Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she listened to Liu Lan's nonsensical words of comfort.
Sun Ying was not afraid of Liu Ren, but Li Zheng who had just returned to the room.
After the incident, Muyan watched the live broadcast of Sun Ying and Li Zheng sleeping at night.
Li Zheng looks honest and simple on the surface, but when it comes to torturing people, his methods are comparable to those of Rong Mama.
For more than a year, Sun Ying was tortured by Li Zheng with cotton cloth stuffed in her mouth late at night. It would be strange if she was not afraid when she saw Li Zheng's gloomy face.
Muyan easily solved Sun Ying's hidden danger and slept until 12 noon.
"Boss, Liu Ren has been hanging around the Li family's door all morning," Wanzai reported.
Mu Yan stretched lazily and said nonchalantly, "Let him hang around. Only if he comes more often will Sun Ying behave himself."
Without Sun Ying, the troublemaker, the tofu shop developed very smoothly and after a few years it had grown into a company with several hundred employees.
After Wu Qin passed away, Mu Yan successfully became the legal person of the company.
The company built a fifty-story building in the county town, which instantly became a landmark building in the county.
Muyan became the chairman of the board without any effort.
That day, he was playing the recently popular chicken-eating game in the office.
The secretary knocked on the door and came in to say that there was a man outside who claimed to be his cousin and wanted to see him.
Mu Yan asked her to let the person in. He hadn't seen Li Qiang for more than a year.
When we met again, I found that he was fatter than before. He was 1.7 meters tall and weighed about 200 kilograms. From a distance, he looked like a giant ball.
Li Qiang explained his purpose, and Mu Yan immediately thought of a job suitable for him.
He asked his secretary to take him to his workplace. That afternoon, Li Qiang took off his work clothes in public and left in anger like a puffer fish.
After hearing the news, Mu Yan shook his head regretfully. He had kindly arranged a job for him to lose weight, but he refused to accept it. It was not his fault.
"If you ask a person who hardly exercises to do tens of thousands of steps a day, he won't become so fat if he has the perseverance," Maruzai complained.
Mu Yan looked as if she had suddenly realized something, "You make sense."
Maruzai: ...
Although Li Qiang left, Mu Yan knew that the matter was not over yet.
The next day,
As soon as Mu Yan sat down in the office, Liu Lan came to question him.
"Your brother is a graduate student. How can you let him move beans in a factory? Find him a job that suits his academic qualifications."
Mu Yan said nonchalantly, "He studied mechanics as a graduate student. Our factory has dedicated maintenance staff for the machines. If I let him take over, wouldn't he be unemployed? He's doing a good job, so I have no reason to fire him."
Liu Lan thought about it and realized that this was the case. "The position of vice-president of the company is vacant. I think your brother is fully qualified for it."
Mu Yan looked at Liu Lan as if she was stupid. "The board of directors has already decided on the vice-chairman. It can't be changed."
"I had good intentions when I asked him to move beans to the factory. If he keeps getting fatter, he might develop some health problems. Being able to work and exercise at the same time is a job many people would envy. What else can he choose?"
Liu Lan thought of Li Qiang's limping way and felt that what Mu Yan said made sense.
Wanzai: "Can she convince Li Qiang to move the beans?"
Mu Yan stood in front of the huge French window, looking at the scenery outside with great joy, "Definitely not."
Just as Muyan expected, Liu Lan failed to persuade Li Qiang to go to the factory to move beans.
He took it for granted that Muyan didn't help him find a job and went home to live off his parents.
Sun Ying was locked up at home by Li Zheng for many years and became somewhat mentally retarded.
Three years ago, Liu Ren was caught stealing someone's car. He was in a car accident while escaping and died on the spot.
Since then, Li Zheng let Sun Ying out of the room and left the door wide open every day. Sun Ying never stepped towards the door and sat in the yard in a daze all day long.
The Dafang family of three now relies entirely on the meager salary that Li Zheng earns as a team leader in a tofu factory.
Liu Lan felt guilty for not finding a suitable job for Li Qiang.
After receiving her salary every month, she would give two-thirds of it to her eldest wife, keeping only one-third for herself.
After Mu Yan knew about it, she spread her hands and said, "Let her be."
The company grew bigger and bigger, and the small tofu shop developed into a large enterprise known throughout the country.
Muyan has so many titles that she can’t even remember them all.
Liu Lan still works in the tofu factory in the village, waiting for her monthly salary and sending two-thirds of it to the eldest wife.
Greed is the key. Not long after, half of Liu Lan's remaining one-third salary was taken away by Sun Ying and her son.
She could only live on that meager salary. While other mothers and sons ate meat and fish every day, she could only eat vegetables and tofu every day.
Wanzai watched the scene where Liu Lan, after returning home with money for Sun Ying and her son, sat in the yard eating a bowl of green vegetables and tofu that was almost non-greasy. He couldn't help but complain, "She is truly the light of the Virgin Mary shining on the earth."
Muyan just glanced at him without saying a word.
The next month, the village tofu factory received an order from its superiors to move to the county. Since there was accommodation there, most of the employees followed.
When Liu Lan also wanted to sign up and go with them, she was stopped.
"You are the chairman's mother. There is no way we can let you work in the factory. You can just retire in the village and plant flowers and raise chickens. That would be great," the factory manager politely declined Liu Lan.
Liu Lan called Mu Yan as soon as she came out of the factory. Her secretary answered the call and the meaning was similar to what the person in charge said.
When they returned home, Sun Ying and her son learned that she had lost her job, and they immediately started throwing a tantrum in the yard. Liu Lan had to persuade them for a long time before they calmed down.
Since she couldn't go to the tofu factory, she went to the village brick factory to move bricks. The money she earned was nearly half of what she earned at the tofu factory. After paying for Sun Ying and her son, she couldn't even afford to eat vegetables and tofu.
The villagers had never seen anyone as stupid as her. At first they laughed at her behind her back, and later they laughed openly in front of her.
Liu Lan didn't care at all and smiled, "We're all family, why should we be so divided?"
Less than two years after Liu Lan started working at the brick factory, it was closed down by the county for polluting the environment, and her only source of income was gone.
Since she couldn't give money to Sun Ying and her son, she became their nanny, and they felt at ease commanding her.
A few years later, Liu Lan fell ill due to poor diet, malnutrition, and fatigue all day long.
Because of this illness, Sun Ying and her son drove her to the cowshed overnight. Without Liu Lan to work, the quality of life of Sun Ying and her son dropped sharply.
Li Zheng, the only labor force in the family, died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage shortly after Liu Lan fell ill. The family now had no source of income.
Sun Ying and her son had to leave home and start making a living. After raising her son for so many years, she could no longer do any heavy work and could only pick up scraps and sell them for money to barely have enough to eat.
The mother and son could hardly take care of themselves, so naturally they had no extra energy to take care of Liu Lan.
Not long after Li Zheng's funeral, Liu Lan died on a cold night.
