Thinking of all this, Su Qingwen's face also turned slightly ugly, and he was filled with anger at the thought of his good-for-nothing son.
"Beiping..." Seeing Ye Beiping's expression, which was almost on the verge of tears, Su Qingwen was momentarily speechless.
So pitiful, so very pitiful.
He came to live in Hangzhou, a city he knew no one about, all for the sake of his daughter.
This kind of friendship is comparable to those classic stories.
Ye Beiping felt that it was about time, so he rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, then put on a smile and raised his glass to Su Qingwen, saying, "Uncle, I won't say anything more. Since you agree to my relationship with Xinyi, I hope you can put in a good word for me with Auntie in the future. Money is nothing. Being able to marry Xinyi is a blessing for me and my family for generations. I'll drink this glass."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and downed the wine in his glass.
ha!
The spicy aroma pierced his throat, and a surge of heat rushed to his head, making Ye Beiping grin and laugh out loud.
In contrast, Su Qingwen still didn't finish his drink, only taking a small sip.
Looking at Ye Beiping's simple, honest, and simple expression, Su Qingwen's feelings became even more complicated. He felt that his family had taken advantage of the honest Ye Beiping.
Judging from his honest way of drinking, he's no seasoned veteran; he's obviously a novice who doesn't even know how to cheat or be cunning when drinking.
How could they possibly know Ye Beiping's little tricks?
Ye Beiping thoughtfully poured Su Qingwen a little more wine, keeping the glass full.
"Eat, eat, uncle. It's not easy to have a drink with you, so don't just focus on drinking, eat some food too."
"Okay, okay, okay." Faced with Ye Beiping like this, Su Qingwen really couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Although he was already quite full, he still picked up his chopsticks and took a couple of bites.
To outsiders, the two seemed like a harmonious father-in-law and son-in-law, with the son-in-law simply taking his father-in-law out for a treat.
In reality, only two people probably know the truth.
Soon, Ye Beiping ate a few bites of food and drank a couple of sips of wine, then casually asked, "Uncle, what kind of business does Su Ze... does he do? Is it profitable?"
I almost shouted out the little rascal in my heart, but thankfully I stopped myself in time.
Of course, he didn't mean anything by asking this. The important things had already been said, and the show was over. He couldn't just leave without touching the food or finishing his drinks.
Treat it as a casual chat among family members; it's also a subtle way to get Su Qingwen to lower his guard.
Just as Ye Beiping had imagined, Su Qingwen found him to be honest and simple. He didn't hold back and told Su Ze everything he had said at home.
However, when discussing this issue, Su Qingwen would intentionally or unintentionally look around, as if afraid of being overheard.
After listening to the narration, Ye Beiping understood Su Qingwen's cautious attitude and tone.
He also frowned.
Ye Beiping had actually heard about the resale of cigarettes in his previous life, and he had even bought such cigarettes in this life.
Because no tickets were required, this cigarette sold very well.
"Beiping, I heard from Xinyi that you're good at business. Do you think it's feasible? None of us in the family are in business, and we don't know much about it." Su Qingwen seemed a little tipsy and unconsciously asked Ye Beiping for his opinion.
Normally, Su Qingwen would never do this.
Whether it was because she had drunk too much or because she was worried about Su Ze's business, she didn't ask anyone.
Ye Beiping thought for a moment before speaking to Su Qingwen, "Uncle, it depends on how you look at this. Reselling cigarettes is definitely wrong, and it may even be illegal, because cigarettes are not something that just anyone can sell in our country."
"Let me give you an example. Not everything in our lives requires a ticket, right? Apart from food and other necessities, there are many things that don't require a ticket. You can think of it as you can still do business that doesn't require a ticket. If a ticket is required, then those things are controlled by the state, and if you do them, then you are breaking the law."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingwen's eyes widened. For someone like him who abides by the law, breaking the law is a grave offense.
Before he could speak, Ye Beiping continued, "Let's think about it from a different perspective. If it's about making money, doing it once or twice to accumulate capital before starting other businesses isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, no wealthy person can claim that every penny of their wealth was acquired cleanly. Even at the beginning of the country's establishment, didn't some irregularities occur?"
Ye Beiping also had a very profound understanding of this.
It depends on how you do something illegal, but you must never do anything criminal. Although both words sound terrible, the former and the latter have very different punishments.
If you commit the former, you may face a fine and short-term detention.
The latter could very well face the death penalty!
